After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1213 Killing Gu Chengyong

"Yes." The group responded and then quietly left, scattering to various corners of the capital city to carry out various orders.

Although this group is small, only about thirty people, they are capable of fighting against a hundred men each, and they also have their own troops under their command, so they can do a lot of things.

With a clang, Qi Tianshi sheathed his long sword and took out a box containing a bunch of small knives, each about the size of a finger.

hum!
With a gentle flick of the hand, the knife blade emitted a buzzing sound.

"My angel." A pleasant young man's voice rang out from outside the door.

The young man had red lips and white teeth, a beautiful face, and a gentle temperament, possessing the beauty of a crabapple blossom weighed down by thin snow.

Qi Tianshi ignored him and left him waiting for more than a quarter of an hour before ordering his trusted servant to open the door.

The young man was overjoyed to see the door open and hurriedly bowed: "Ayi, greetings to the angel... Ayi will be leaving before dark today. I am grateful for the angel's care and have come to say goodbye."

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, and coupled with his appearance, he was truly a beauty among men.

"Sigh," Qi Tianshi sighed, finally got up, walked towards him, stood in front of him, looked down at him, and said, "When you go back, you can tell Lord Gu that this angel still prefers Commander Jiao."

“Those who achieve great things should not be concerned with trifles. It’s just an adopted son; it’s just a matter of the South Wind. Lord Gu and Commander Jiao don’t need to be too bothered by it.”

That's right, it means exactly what you're thinking.

Gu Chengyong wanted to win over Qi Tianshi, but he also thought that eunuchs must be perverted, so he sent him beautiful women. However, Qi Tianshi was even more 'perverted' than they thought.

Qi Tianshi didn't want anyone else; he specifically asked for Jiao Qianhu.

This infuriated Commander Jiao.

Gu Chengyong was quite tempted and wanted to persuade Jiao Qianhu to agree, but he still needed Jiao Qianhu to protect his life and dared not pressure Jiao Qianhu too much.

This?
Ayi was speechless: "...Then, when Ayi goes back, please ask the master to send one or two martial artists over, is that alright?"

“I’ve already sent three batches, but I rejected them all. That’s why I’m keeping you here to cleanse your eyes,” said Qi the Angel. “When you get back, just say what you want. I’ve reached this position and I won’t compromise myself anymore. I will get what I want. It all depends on what Lord Gu and Commander Jiao choose.”

Dead eunuch!
Can't you just stop being so difficult?
Qi Tianshi said, "Our profession is all about making things extremely difficult."

With a gentle pat, Qi Tianshi patted A Yi's head and said, "A Yi, the Northeast is too small. Those with ambition should go to the capital or the Liangjiang region. Tying yourself to the frontier is the helpless act of an incompetent and useless person."

Besides, your backer is about to die, and if you stay, you'll only die with them.

Why not give yourself a shot?

Ayi didn't raise her head, nor did her body tremble. After a moment, she bowed to Qi Tianshi and said, "Ayi takes her leave. May everything go well for you, my lord."

Qi Tianshi laughed: "Someone, bring two ingots of gold for Ayi; also bring a knife for Ayi to take back to Commander Jiao."

"Yes." The servant went to fetch the things that had been prepared beforehand and gave them to Ayi.

Ayi accepted it: "Ayi thanks you for the reward, sir."

Qi Tianshi's smile deepened... She really is a smart child, knowing how to choose an adult to serve.

He didn't say anything more and turned to go back into the house.

Ayi was led away to her room, where she waited until nightfall before leaving Wuyuan to return to the Commander's Mansion to report back.

……

Cluck, cluck!
At this moment, two carrier pigeons flew down from the roof of a pigeon house in the barricade camp outside the city.

"Coo-coo." The pigeon keeper called out twice, and the carrier pigeon flew down. The pigeon keeper did not dare to touch the communication tube tied to the pigeon's small leg, but instead took the pigeon directly to Commander Gu.

Commander Gu had been waiting for this, and when the reply arrived, he immediately opened it... His loyalty had been wasted.

Two carrier pigeons, two replies.

The first letter demanded that he send the Qin, Guan, and Jiang families into the city, even at his own risk. The heads of the three major government offices in the city wanted to meet with Qin, Guan, Jiang, and Ling to discuss whether or not to let the remaining Wei people enter the city to escape the war.

The second letter instructed him to hand over the troop mobilization tokens given to him by Gu Chengyong to Commander Su, so that Commander Su could send them back into the city, while he would continue to guard the city's outskirts.

Gu Chengyong also said that his children are about to get married, and as their great-grandfather, he will give them a three-and-a-half-courtyard house and a street-front shop near Wuyuan.

The first approach was to threaten, and the second was to win them over and appease them.

It seems that Gu Chengyong really has no one else to rely on, which is why he is so afraid of Gu Chengyong rebelling against him.

"Keep an eye on the camp. I'm going to find Commander Ling." Commander Gu led his personal guards and rode to the front of the barricade. He delivered the reply directly to the soldiers left behind by Commander Ling: "I have fulfilled Commander Ling's request. I have ordered him to postpone his complaint to the capital. As for the rest, it is none of my business. Let Commander Ling and his men decide for themselves."

Ling Baihu's soldiers were alarmed; something was wrong. There was trouble brewing in the city.

"...Yes." The soldier took the small letter, rode back to the temporary camp, and presented the letter to Commander Ling.

After reading it, Ling Baihu's face turned dark. He immediately took the small letter and went to find the Qin family and their relatives, and also called Fan Qianhu, Xun Lao, Xiao Tao Zongqi, and the chief of the stronghold.

Once everyone is present.

After everyone read the letter...

Commander Fan roared, "You audacious Gu Chengyong! He clearly wants to kidnap you and bring you into the city to command the Liang family army!"

"Old Madam Guan, the grandson and wife of the Prince of Ye, the great-grandson of the Prince of Ye, Commander Tao, Master Qin, the two young men of the Jiang family... By specifically naming them, they are clearly trying to check and balance the Liang family army, General Liang, and Jiang Dalang!"

"Madam Guan, you absolutely must not go into the city, otherwise you will be walking into a trap and becoming hostages for Gu Chengyong!"

Commander Ling also said, "Madam, the great-grandson of the Prince of Ye is still young, and you represent the face of the Wei royal family. If anything happens, the reputation of the entire Wei royal family will be affected."

"Gu Chengyong has gone mad and is very likely to give up entirely."

"We can go into the city to discuss this with Gu Chengyong. You all wait a little longer."

Madam Guan looked at him and asked, "Waiting for what? Waiting for the enemy army from Qianyang County to attack?"

If they fall into enemy hands, it won't just be a loss of face, but a national disgrace.

Then the Wei royal family would become the Dayong royal family, and would be infamous for eternity. She wouldn't allow that!

"Moreover, the letter clearly states that if one person is missing from the list, the city gate will not be opened... The troops guarding this city gate are Gu Chengyong's troops, not General Chu's troops."

"General Chu is new to the city, and now that General Liang has been defeated and wounded, General Chu dares not and cannot engage in a fierce battle with Gu Chengyong's troops on the city wall."

Qin Xiaomi was puzzled and disagreed: "Why not? If we kill them sooner, we might be able to seize military power. Once we have military power, everything will be solved."

"One kill can break ten thousand games, especially when facing someone like Gu Chengyong who deserves to be killed, that's when you have to go on a killing spree."

Ah this?

"Xiao Mi, this is a matter of national importance. You're not allowed to give random opinions. Old Madam Guan knows more than you do," Grandpa Qin said to her.

Gu Chengyong was a commander-in-chief, such a high-ranking official of the imperial court. If you said you wanted to kill him, just that one sentence would be enough for the yamen to charge you with plotting to harm a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and your whole family would be beheaded.

Qin Xiaomi looked at Old Madam Guan and Ling Taofan and the others, and asked, "Gentlemen like you who are well-versed in military and national affairs, do you have any better ways to break the deadlock than killing in the face of the current situation?"
