Chapter 236 Chapter 234 The Evil Hou Xiaonian

Gu Hua gave Uncle Chen a reassuring look.

Uncle Chen felt somewhat uneasy when he learned that it was Shen Hongwei who was left behind to guard the city. After all, he knew that this girl from the Shen family was good at martial arts and was very loyal to his niece, but her personality was not stable enough.

However, when he learned that Luo Dingshan, the captain of the royal palace, would also stay to help defend the city, and knew that this man had led troops in battles and was able to come back alive and was promoted to captain, Chen Dajiu was relieved and did not nag Gu Hua to consider changing people to defend the city.

Gu Hua arranged all the affairs in Shuzhou, and the time had come for the army to set out.

……

It is said that when Gao Yuanfang led the team to transport food and supplies, they were so successful that even he was surprised at how well his hidden route was. For several days, the people behind him did not discover his tracks and chased him.

Gao Yuanfang's little guard, who looked like a monkey, had a twinkle in his eyes, and he could see that he looked puzzled. "General, are you wondering why there are no troops chasing us from behind?"

Gao Yuanfang raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him. Two years ago, he was ordered to lead people to the mountains to suppress bandits and got lost in the deep mountains and forests. It was he who appeared and brought them out after being trapped in the mountains for many days.

When he learned that he also wanted to join the army and that he seemed quite smart, he took him under his wing as a token of his gratitude.

Gao Yuanfang threw out his own strange point and asked, "Why don't the people behind catch up with us?"

Hou Xiaonian's bright black eyes rolled around, and he looked like a clever little monkey, but his answer was very annoying: "I don't know either."

"Get lost." Gao Yuanfang couldn't help himself and kicked him. "I don't know...what are you asking?"

Hou Xiaonian was not angry even though he was kicked in the leg. He smiled and ran towards the woods in the distance.

To those around him who were laughing at him getting kicked, he extended an invitation: "Who's going to pee? Let's do it together!"

"You are the worst bastard." Someone in the team complained, "Last time I went to the woods with you, you peed on your feet without noticing. We don't want to travel with urine smelling all over us, so you bastard should go by yourself."

Hou Xiaonian was not embarrassed to be told about his embarrassing deeds. He looked shameless and nonchalant, "Who told you to pee higher than me? Well, I can only pee on your feet because I pee lower."

This is a very reasonable thing to say.

Everyone who heard it felt like they were being praised, but they all refused to be urinated on their feet and were still unwilling to go with him to solve their urgent needs.

Hou Xiaonian walked into the woods alone, untied his belt, took off his pants, and watered the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.

Then he pulled up his pants, rolled his eyes around cleverly, and looked around furtively. When he found that there was really no one to pee with him this time, he pulled out a dagger from where his legs were tied and scraped the tree trunk a few times.

Finally, he found an opportunity to send out a signal about the route taken to transport the grain.

Hou Xiaonian walked out of the woods, picked up a piece of dogtail grass and put it in his mouth, humming an unknown tune, and slowly followed the transport team that had finished their rest and was continuing on their journey.

……

It has been three days since Wu Ruonan led his troops out of the city, but he still has not found the route taken by Gao Yuanfang's transport team to retrieve the grain, and he is somewhat anxious.

If the batch of grain was snatched away by the forces behind Gao Yuanfang, how could she be worthy of Gu Hua's trust? Moreover, she was the one who took the initiative to request for this mission.

Qiao Yuandong also came along because he was worried about his fiancée. He could see Wu Ruonan's anxiety and stayed by her side.

By the time Wu Ruonan sent people to find the secret code left by the spy in Gao Yuanfang's team, four days had passed since she led her troops out of the city.

When Gao Yuanfang saw someone blocking the way of his transport team, he felt that someone had finally arrived, but the person surprised him.

"Why? It's not Han Jinyan and Li Wei."

Seeing Wu Ruonan, who had already lost the qualification for the next match in the 100-man battle, and his men blocking his way, Gao Yuanfang felt strange for a moment, "Why is it you?"

The number of people Wu Ruonan brought this time far exceeded Gao Yuanfang.

But they learned that the forces behind Gao Yuanfang would come to rob the food supplies, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wu Ruonan did not intend to waste time with these people.

"The master ordered that we transport this batch of supplies to Hezhou. These are souvenirs. Please give them to us and go back."

Gao Yuanfang was shocked.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the letter written by Gu Hua in Wu Ruonan's hand, knowing that this letter with a private seal was real.

But Gao Yuanfang also knew that if the people behind him failed to take the grain away from him.

The news that he was arranged to lead his men to eat and drink for free to support his own men would soon spread to everyone and become a laughing stock of all forces. Then Gao Yuanfang would no longer be able to live as a human being.

"No." Gao Yuanfang was caught between the two forces and suffered terribly. In order to save face, he could only grit his teeth and said, "I can't give up halfway. I must complete this mission and deliver this batch of grain to Hezhou."

Seeing his determination, Wu Ruonan stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand...

Gao Yuanfang didn't expect Wu Ruonan to be so arrogant. He just refused to hand over the food, and this woman brought her men to start robbing it.

"You... don't go too far." Gao Yuanfang gritted his teeth and rode his horse to Wu Ruonan to confront him. His words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "Don't forget that we are generals under the same master. Lady Gu will not forgive you if you do this."

"Ha!" Wu Ruonan snorted coldly and sneered, "You don't have to worry about that."

A person who has already defected to another force, upon learning that the other party has limited supplies, turns to come to her sister Gu's house to eat and drink for free in order to reduce the burden on the master he has defected to. What qualifications does the general have to lecture her?

Gao Yuanfang felt a little panicked. He always felt that his little secret had been discovered.

Because the people arranged by Yang Daxing to transport the supplies did not know that their commander had already died in the northwest. They were just there to do the job and were not on the same page with Gao Yuanfang at all.

When Wu Ruonan and his men tried to take over the food supplies by force, they simply put up a perfunctory resistance and then withdrew from the fight between the two sides.

Gao Yuanfang glanced at them viciously. Without the joint resistance of these thousands of people, the disparity in power between the two sides would be even greater.

Realizing that Wu Ruonan would order his men to take ruthless action against them if they didn't give up, Gao Yuanfang had no choice but to wave his hand and ask his men to withdraw from the position of transporting grain.

Just when Gao Yuanfang looked unhappy and Wu Ruonan and his men were about to leave after taking over the food transportation, a team rushed out from the nearby mountains and surrounded them all.
