When he saw Cao Suixin, Gu Qi was in despair. He guessed that there were people here, there should be quite a few people, but why was there only one girl
Moreover, he knew her and knew her identity. She was the apprentice of the princess. If he harmed her, he would be dead even if he was still alive.
"Why are you here? Where are your guards?"
After saying this, Gu Qi quickly stepped forward, grabbed Cao Suixin in his arms, and ran away. Cao Suixin was still a little confused. He just came to the top of the mountain to take a look because the sweet potatoes were almost dug. What had he encountered
"Isn't this Brother Gu Qi? He's being hunted down."
Gu Qi was somewhat helpless. This girl was really slow to react. "Well, where are your guards?"
Cao Suixin couldn't have gone out without a guard, so there must be one. Cao Suixin did bring a guard, and said with some concern: "The guard is downstairs, but it seems we can't run past him."
The people chasing behind had already run ahead. Gu Qi had no choice but to fight head-on and protect Cao Suixin, and soon he was at a disadvantage.
Yan Feng seized the opportunity and stabbed Cao Suixin with a sword. Yes, you read that correctly, he was going to kill Cao Suixin, just to distract Gu Qi and let others take action.
Sure enough, Gu Qi's face changed drastically, and Cao Sui Xin also realized that the sword was stabbing at him. His eyes widened instantly, with a look of fear on his face, watching as the sword was about to fall on Cao Sui Xin.
Even Gu Qi was ready to die for Cao Suixin. At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the clear sky, and Yan Feng was struck by the lightning. He instantly turned into black residue and fell to the ground, leaving nothing behind.
This bolt from the blue naturally attracted the attention of the guards at the foot of the mountain, who rushed up instantly and killed all the remaining killers.
This Yan Feng died with only dregs left. Even if they wanted to investigate, they couldn't. Cao Suixin in Gu Qi's arms blinked and pushed Gu Qi: "Brother Qi, let me go."
Gu Qi kept his eyes on Cao Suixin in front of him. Who was this girl? Was this a coincidence or something else? He didn't dare to think about it.
After Cao Suixin was put down, Qian Jiujiu and the others below also rushed up and looked at Cao Suixin: "Xin'er, what happened? Are you okay?"
Cao Suixin shook his head: "I'm fine. The person who was struck by lightning wanted to kill me."
Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. He was indeed a person favored by God. He looked at the black scum with some sympathy. If you want to kill Gu Qi, just kill Gu Qi. Why do you want to kill Cao Suixin? Now there is not even a complete corpse.
"Okay, let's go back first."
Gu Qi nodded: "We need to go back and think about it carefully. Shanzhou City sent 10,000 people here, probably to capture us, we still have to deal with them."
Tianfeng Town is close to the mountain, and now that people are coming, we can retreat to the mountain behind. Otherwise, if we rely on Tianfeng Town, we may not be able to resist the attack of those people.
But if they went up the mountain, they didn't dare to live in the tree house, which was a bit embarrassing. Cao Suixin didn't think about the embarrassment here, because it had nothing to do with her. After digging sweet potatoes, she ran around the mountain with her guards.
Obviously, she was not scared by this incident. As a result, she ran around in the mountains and found an extremely huge cave that could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people.
After finding this cave, the people of Tianfeng Town could move directly. They moved again and built a two-story watchtower in the mountains.
The first one is to look under the tree, and the second one is to look around the tree. Zheng Yiju sent only 10,000 people, and these people could not cause any trouble in Gu Qi's hands.
Because the guards of the Kong generation who came out with Qian Jiujiu were all capable of fighting ten people at once. After several sneak attacks, most of them were captured.
Yes, prisoners. Because Qian Jiujiu wouldn't allow any killing, he captured some prisoners at night and stuffed them into the cave. Of course, he also stole a lot of food.
When these people came, they were also given orders. After they came, they just had to pretend to do what they wanted and would be captured directly. With the tacit cooperation of both parties, ten thousand people were captured so easily.
Wu Ming looked at Gu Qi: "Captain, do you feel that there is something wrong? What's wrong with these people? They are so obedient and even bring their own food."
Gu Qi smiled and glanced at Wu Ming: "I don't know, just wait, I guess more people will be sent over. Just wait and see, you can go down and get busy first."
When Wu Ming heard this, he raised his eyebrows. He didn't know what Gu Qi meant. He couldn't find out any information after asking around, which made him feel unsure.
Gu Qi looked at Wu Ming's departing back. He was waiting for him to surface on his own, but he didn't expect that the first person who couldn't help but jump out was Wu Ming.
He didn't know what to say. In fact, he was still in a conflicted mood after Wu Ming left. Zheng Yi Ju sent troops, increasing by 10,000 or 20,000, just to transport people here to provide manpower for rebellion.
But now, the manpower was given, but the leader of the rebellion was not one of theirs. This made Wu Ming very suspicious. What was Gu Qi's purpose
The most important thing is that he can't send out any message now, and Zheng Yi Ju sees how happy people here are in accepting the message and thinks that his plan has succeeded.
There are only 50,000 personnel and soldiers in Shanzhou City in total. Now almost 45,000 have been sent over, leaving only 5,000 people left in Shanzhou City.
It was still very difficult to defend the city with 5,000 people. The people in Shanzhou City also found out that the people in Tianfeng Town were rebelling, so they started to arrest them to fight.
The people in Shanzhou City were in a panic. They didn't want to go to war, and they didn't want to be cannon fodder, so the first person to escape was the first one.
There are fewer people now and Shanzhou City is so big, it is normal for some people to leave secretly and find small roads. So the victims of Shanzhou City left in batches.
By the time Zheng Yiju found out, it was too late. He really didn't expect that these people would dare to escape. At the same time, Gu Qi also got the news.
He looked at the leaders with a smile: "We now have more than 40,000 soldiers under our command. Can we take down Shanzhou City?"
Among the leaders, in addition to Gu Qi, Bei Bei, and Wu Ming at the beginning, there are several people under Zheng Yiju.
Several people thought that they were acting according to the plan, so they nodded and said, "It's time to attack the city, let's go."
When everyone was preparing to attack the city, Zheng Yi Ju was also having a headache. A small number of the victims had run away. These people were his rebel soldiers, and the losses were heavy.
At the same time, the team accompanying the prince had already arrived at Xianyou Town. Nan Nan was in charge of the county government. When she saw the prince, she was a little dumbfounded: "Why are you here?"
The prince looked at Nan Nan with a smile: "Of course I came to see my sister. By the way, brother, where is my sister?"
Nan Nan curled her lips. This guy always only had his sister in his eyes. He didn't know what was good about Bei Bei. "I went out with my parents. I won't see you for a while. What on earth are you doing here?"
If he really came to see Beibei, how could the emperor let him go? So this guy must not be telling the truth.
The prince pouted. This brother was always a bit strict with him. "Actually, I'm here to take my grandmother home for the New Year. Father told you and your sister to return to Beijing. You and your sister are not young anymore. It's time to think about the future."
Nan Nan opened his mouth. He was only thirteen years old. Was he thinking about the future? There were still five years left? What a joke.
But it is not impossible to return to the capital, especially to send the Imperial Grandmother back, which is still the right thing to do: "Let's wait until my parents come back."
The prince was curious: "Do you know where they went? If it's the New Year, we have to hurry up. There is still a month left, otherwise we will be too late to get back."
Nan Nan knew: "They are in Shanzhou City."
The prince suddenly realized: "Then I will go to Shanzhou City too."
Nan Nan grabbed the prince and brought him back: "No, it's very chaotic over there, you can't go. Just stay here, and when they come back, we can go together."
After all, the prince is younger than Nan Nan, so he can only obey. The relationship between the monarch and his subjects doesn't seem to work for Nan Nan.
When the Queen Mother saw the Crown Prince, she was still very happy: "Go and call Xiao Xi up, and ask Xiao Xi to prepare a table of delicious food. We will have dinner here tonight."
The prince stayed, but Xianyou Town was still some distance away from Shanzhou City, so Lin Huan, Gu Yan and others left with food and troops.
With such a large group of people, it was clear what they were doing. The disaster victims they met on the road were all startled, and then fled as quickly as possible, heading towards Xianyou Town and the surrounding villages and towns in waves.
Fang Xiaoxi came over soon: "How are you, old lady? What would you like to eat today?"
The master treated her well, and Fang Xiaoxi was very filial to the master's mother. The prince stared at Fang Xiaoxi. Is this person a village girl from nearby? She actually won the favor of the royal grandmother. It seems that she has some ability.
Fang Xiaoxi also noticed that there was a boy who had been looking at her, but she didn't even glance at him. The Queen Mother was happy: "This is also my grandson. He just came today. You should cook what you are good at. It is his blessing for him to be able to eat it."
The prince's eyes widened. When did a village girl become so awesome? He was the prince, and it was his blessing to be able to eat it.
Gu Yanyi took good care of him in every aspect along the way, but the emperor's expectations were still too high.
However, he had already written a letter to Nan Nan. Nan Nan knew what the emperor was going to do, but she was speechless.
Fang Xiaoxi nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go downstairs and prepare the food now. We can eat soon."
