My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 72 The farce ends, and a great achievement is made!
The soldiers in the central army all looked at Kou Wen, who lay motionless on the ground, with fear in their eyes.

Then he looked at Gao Yu standing on the courtyard wall.

They subconsciously swallowed, all frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.

The few men who were close friends with Kou Wen and who had also gone out of the city with him to ambush Zheng Dache were unwilling to give up. Instead of being afraid, they encouraged the soldiers, just like Kou Wen had said before.

He was all alone!

"How has General Kou treated everyone? Those with courage and valor, follow me to avenge the general!"

"revenge!"

"So many of us have been intimidated by a barbarian from Huai Shuo. How are we supposed to establish ourselves in Luoyang now?!"

in a blink.

A dozen or so men rushed toward the courtyard wall where Gao Yu was. The other soldiers seemed to be stirred up by these words, and they looked at each other, their expressions quite tempted, and they became restless.

court death!

Gao Yu remained silent, firing arrows in rapid succession as if calling roll. Once his hand was empty, he grabbed another handful from his quiver, nearly emptying the quiver itself.

Just a few breaths!

The dozen or so people who tried to rush over all fell to the ground.

The closest one has already rushed to within a few steps of the wall, and it seems that with just one more breath, it will reach the foot of the wall.

His arrows still never missed, each one hitting the vital point.

They either die on the spot, or although they don't die immediately, blood gushes out and pools in their veins. Even if they survive, they are left with only half a breath and are beyond saving.

Fear spread again, and everyone instinctively took a few steps back, terrified of becoming victims of Gao Yu's arrows!
Liu Taozhi, Liu Yi, Bilugu, and others also climbed onto the courtyard wall. Liu Taozhi quickly took out half of her arrows from her quiver and added them to Gao Yu's quiver.

Everyone followed Gao Yu's example, drawing arrows and nocking them on their bows.

When Gao Yu was alone, the central army did not dare to move rashly, let alone now that there were seven or eight more people. Looking at the seven or eight longbows with their strings fully drawn, everyone couldn't help but slowly retreat.

This time!

A rapid, chaotic sound of horses' hooves drew everyone's attention.

Gao Yu looked in the direction of the sound.

Hundreds of elite cavalrymen charged menacingly toward the villa.

The entire force was fully armored and armed, looking quite imposing.

"Oh no! Could it be reinforcements from the central army?"

Gao Yu was shocked. These people were clearly elites, and some were even wearing armor!
But he also found it strange... why weren't these central troops surrounding the villa wearing armor? To be honest, if these central troops had come fully armored and armed, he really wouldn't have dared to be so audacious.

Just as he was pondering, the leader of the elite cavalry shouted and announced his identity, "I am Erzhu Rong, the Imperial Guard Lieutenant General! I have come by order of the Prince of Jiangyang and the General of the Army to arrest the soldiers of the Central Army who have gathered this crowd!"

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

Erzhu Rong led his troops closer and surrounded the hundreds of central army soldiers who had already lost their courage. Upon hearing this, the central army soldiers dared not resist, threw down their clubs, and surrendered without resistance.

Erzhu Rong glanced at the corpses scattered in front of the courtyard gate and was quite surprised. He then looked at Gao Yu and the others holding bows on the courtyard wall and found that they were also sizing him up.

Before he could speak.

Da Xi Wu, standing behind him, exclaimed in surprise, "Gao family's second son!"

She Digan had obviously also spotted Gao Yu, and upon seeing the corpses of the central army soldiers on the ground, he immediately understood why the numerous and powerful central army soldiers couldn't even enter the gate of the detached courtyard.

"Gao Jia Erlang?"

Erzhu Rong was also taken aback. He couldn't help but think of the Gao brothers from Huai Shuo that his friend Liu Gui had mentioned to him. Could it be that the second son of the Gao family was one of them?
He didn't have time to think it through; he needed to deal with the immediate matter first.

"Shedi Gan, Erzhu Zhao, you two take your troops and keep watch over the soldiers in the central army!"

"Here!"

After giving his instructions, Erzhu Rong rode his horse to the courtyard wall.

"So you are Gao Erlang?"

"So you are Erzhu Tianbao?"

Both of them were taken aback, and there was no need to say anything more; it was clear that the other person was the one they had been thinking of.

The situation was now under control.

Gao Yu then instructed Liu Taozhi and the others to jump down from the courtyard wall and inform Liu Gui. It would be easier to talk to someone he knew; after all, this was only their first meeting with Erzhu Rong, and the two weren't familiar with each other. It would be best if someone familiar with both of them could introduce them. Daxi Wu also joined in, "Does the Second Young Master Gao still remember me?"

"Of course I remember, a rare hero among the central army!"

Da Xiwu was surprised that Gao Yu had such a high opinion of him, and couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.

After exchanging a few pleasantries...

Da Xi Wu then followed Er Zhu Rong to check the specific situation. When he saw that Kou Wen was among the dead, Da Xi Wu was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
Gao Yu jumped down from the courtyard wall and led his men to move the carriage blocking the gate, allowing the servants to open the gate.

He then turned and went back to the inner courtyard.

Zheng Dache probably saw the Imperial Guards arrive and came down from the pavilion ahead of time. She looked at Gao Yu with a strange look in her eyes. She had seen it clearly from the high building just now, and her mind was full of the image of Gao Yu alone with a bow that intimidated hundreds of soldiers.

"How incredibly brave and valiant Gao Lang is!"

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. The Imperial Guards have already arrived, and Your Highness will have to negotiate with them."

"Okay, leave the rest to me."

After giving his instructions, Gao Yu turned to find Gao Huan to discuss countermeasures, and just then he saw Liu Gui rushing over.

Liu Gui was slightly excited. "Second Brother, don't panic. Tianbao and I are close friends. I'll go out and meet him first, and then I'll introduce him to you later."

Gao Yu nodded, then quickly walked to Gao Huan's bedside.

After exchanging a glance, Gao Huan spoke first, "I never expected the soldiers of the central army to be so arrogant? They actually dared to surround the Prince of Guangping's villa and even demanded that the Prince of Guangyang give them an explanation?"

Gao Yu shook his head.

They have absolutely no idea what's happening outside, they have no other sources of information, and they're completely in the dark.

Gao Huan then spoke, but he was very cautious, "In any case, given the chaotic situation in Luoyang, it's best to leave as soon as possible."

"That's what I was thinking too, but the weather is hot and it's not good for you to travel far, so you should stay a few more days."

Gao Huan sighed upon hearing this.

He felt even more hatred for the clerk who had whipped him before.

Afterwards, Gao Yu told Gao Huan about how he had shot and killed many soldiers in the central army.

Gao Huan simply nodded.

He knew very well that without killing people, how could he possibly deter the rioting central army? If the central army were to rush in, apart from the fact that the central army might be wary of the Princess of Guangping, all of them would likely be doomed.

This time, he was not as worried as he was in Huai Shuo. After thinking it over carefully, he felt relieved and said, "In any case... the soldiers of the Central Army besieged the Guangping Prince's Mansion, and the Princess Consort was here. We killed people because we had no choice but to protect the Princess Consort and uphold the dignity of the court. The court will not blame us."

During the conversation between the two brothers.

I heard footsteps outside.

Liu Gui led Erzhu Rong into the room and took the initiative to introduce them.

"Tianbao, these are the Gao brothers I told you about, the heroes of Huai Shuo!"

Erzhu Rong had already met Gao Yu, and upon seeing Gao Huan again, although he was injured and looked somewhat haggard, he was still handsome and extraordinary. He couldn't help but praise him, "Seeing is believing, he is indeed an outstanding person!"

Gao Huan was about to get up, but Erzhu Rong waved his hand.

"Since you are unwell, there is no need to be so particular."

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Yu looked at Erzhu Rong and asked, "What exactly happened that caused such a commotion?"

Erzhu Rong looked around and whispered, "I don't need to hide it from you. This time, the soldiers of the Central Army gathered a crowd to cause trouble and set fire to the Ministry of Personnel and the residence of the General Who Conquers the West. The General Who Conquers the West and his eldest son are missing and their fate is unknown. It is said that... the Prince of Guangping was also implicated and his fate is still unknown."

Gao Yu and Gao Huan were both astonished.

They set fire to the Ministry of Personnel and the residences of high-ranking officials.

Is the fate of the Prince of Guangping unknown?
Are the Chinese army really not afraid of death?
This is tantamount to not only trampling on the court's face a few times, but also spitting on it. It's utterly shameless, and the court is likely to launch a massive crackdown and massacre this time.

Erzhu Rong then said, "Gao Lang has nothing to worry about."

"The court will surely punish the central army severely this time! Although you killed some soldiers, it was for the sake of protecting the imperial family, and those who died were all rebels. They were not guilty, but rather rendered meritorious service! The court will certainly reward you handsomely!"

"I am currently serving as a military commander and must return to report to the Prince of Jiangyang. I cannot delay any longer. I will definitely visit you both again when I have time in the future!"

After saying this, Erzhu Rong clasped his hands in a salute and left.
