Chapter 131 The Aggressive General Wei
After Gu Hua came out of the place where exiled prisoners were held, she found out that Wang Geng, who had come here, was waiting for her outside.

The two of them walked silently on the streets of the ancient city of Bashu. Gu Hua asked, "Your escort mission is now complete. What's next?"

Wang Geng came to see her this time to talk about this matter. He looked up at the green branches of the trees sticking out from the yards of the houses on Shuzhou Street and pointed with his hand.

"Master Gu, it seems that Bashu is not as dry as the officials here say, right?"

Gu Hua smiled and nodded, "Indeed."

When she came here, she also discovered that there was drought in the Bashu area, but it was not as serious as in other places.

Wang Geng was unaware of the situation when he first arrived, which was why he was told by the official who assigned the exile prisoners. He thought that Bashu was as dry as other places, with not even enough drinking water.

"I know that the head of the Gu family is not an ordinary woman. Now that chaos is brewing in Daxuan, I want to quit this job after returning to the capital, and bring my mother, wife and children here to seek refuge with you."

Gu Hua raised his eyebrows and looked at him, saying bluntly: "Don't forget, I am also an exile, how can I accept your surrender?"

Wang Geng was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Hua did not readily agree to his surrender, but pointed out his current identity.

Turning his head to take a look, Wang Geng saw the two generals Mu Feng and Mu Xue following not far behind her, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"..." When the boss points out your identity as an exiled prisoner, please get rid of the two guards following you.

Wang Geng looked at Gu Hua's calm expression. She didn't show any pride or joy just because an official like him wanted to seek refuge with her. She continued to walk forward steadily, and her calm face gave people an unfathomable feeling.

This made Wang Geng, who was originally trying to test the waters, make up his mind to seek refuge with this woman whom he had observed all along, a calm and composed person, who acted decisively and was protective of the people she identified.

Moreover, this woman is related to Prince Li Xiao Junlin, which makes him want to come and join him even more.

After Wang Geng left, Gu Hua walked alone on the street, followed by Mu Feng and Mu Xue, who were protecting him diligently not far behind.

It doesn't disturb her, and can stop her in time when there is danger.

Walking along the streets of Bashu in the afterglow of the setting sun, the ancient and quaint wooden houses and the scattered banyan trees complement each other.

As soon as he stepped into this land, Gu Hua was attracted by the occasional unique stilt houses.

Walking along half of the street, you will also find this ancient stone-paved street, which seems to have witnessed the vicissitudes of this ancient city.

When he returned to the mansion, Gu Hua saw that the gates were guarded by the palace's guards.

As soon as he walked into the door, Gu Hua felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Because when Xiao Junlin asked Governor Wang to move out, he also took the servants in the house with him. This was also because he didn't want to leave any thorns behind for other people.

But there was clearly a group of people in military uniforms standing outside the door; they were not the palace guards.

Sure enough, after walking in, I saw a middle-aged man in general's uniform in the front yard lobby.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Gu Hua, with a sinister smile on his face. He turned back to Xiao Junlin, who was holding up the teacup and almost said he was giving it away, and said, "Since the prince likes this house, then let's do it."

“This general heard that there are still a few exiled prisoners here. Although Bashu is the prince’s fiefdom, the prince has just arrived and is still…” The rights of the vassal kings of Daxuan in their fiefdoms include receiving a lifetime salary and having management rights within the land under their jurisdiction.

They have their own palace and a certain number of guard troops. Each king has three guards, but it is worth noting that these three guards do not refer to three people.

The so-called guards is a general term, and the number of guards ranges from 3,000 to 19,000. According to this regulation, the military force that a vassal king can have is 9,000 to 57,000 people.

However, Xiao Junlin is a prince, so he should have more guards. But perhaps Xiao Junmo was still concerned about him, so this time Xiao Junlin only brought 10,000 guards, the minimum standard for a prince.

Economically, the princes received lifelong salaries and had certain management rights within the land under their jurisdiction, but they were subject to supervision by local court officials.

For example, Prefect Wang has the power to supervise the vassal kings, otherwise he would not have been so arrogant after Xiao Junlin came here.

If Xiao Junlin was not afraid that he would report to the emperor and speak ill of him, or falsely accuse him of having rebellious intentions, an ordinary vassal king who had just arrived here might really be controlled by him.

Prefect Wang never expected that someone would dare to rob his residence, otherwise he would not have brought Xiao Junlin to show off in his own luxurious residence.

"Clang." The sound of the teacup being placed heavily on the table.

The man was wearing a black robe, with his black hair tied up high, a jade crown on his head, and a brocade belt around his waist. He had a face as handsome as a jade crown, sword-like eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a slightly raised lip corner. He had an unruly majesty and dominance.

When Wei Xingba met Xiao Junlin's gaze, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if they could pierce people directly, making people dare not look at him.

"I want to keep them?"

"Humph!" Wei Xingba thought that he was a local tyrant, and even if a powerful dragon came, he would have to coil around him. He showed an aggressive look again and said, "Then I will have no choice but to report this matter to the emperor as quickly as possible."

Gu Hua's dark eyes rolled around, and a cunning look flashed across them: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted. Seeing that I was carrying several young children on the road alone, I helped them. But now that we have arrived, I will take the children to the exile place tomorrow."

The last sentence was said to Wei Xingba who was pressing forward step by step.

"Okay." Wei Xingba saw that Gu Hua was not only good-looking, but also had an indescribable temperament that was particularly eye-catching. His eyes became deep and he developed a hint of interest in her.

Gu Hua noticed that he was looking at her like this, and she lowered her eyes, with a cold light flashing across them.

...Xiao Junlin's face was as black as ink, and his whole body exuded the murderous aura that only a killer god on the battlefield should have.

Wei Xingba was invited by his sister to help get the house back.

But after arriving, Xiao Junlin threw him a piece of evidence of how Prefect Wang got this house, almost hitting him in the face. Wei Xingba knew that it was hopeless to ask for this magnificent house.

Only then, when he saw Gu Hua coming back, he remembered the news he had received, that Xiao Junlin was sheltering a female exiled prisoner and several children, which instantly gave him the leverage to control Xiao Junlin.

However, Gu Hua volunteered to take the child and follow the exiles to the exile place. Although it was beyond his expectation, he felt that they had plenty of time and ways to subdue Xiao Junlin, the vassal king, so he did not continue to make things difficult for him.

When Xiao Junlin came to the fiefdom this time, although the emperor reduced the number of the prince's guards, there were still as many as 10,000 of them.

He went to the battlefield when he was a teenager and was known as the devil of the battlefield. Wei Xingba was the general guarding the city gate of Bashu and had 50,000 soldiers under his command, but he still had some concerns about Xiao Junlin.
