Gu Yuqi obviously didn't expect that he was such a strong man, so she hurriedly withdrew her long sword, but still poked him in the chest, but Gu Yuqi's movement was fast enough, so the wound was not very deep.
The man looked at Gu Yuqi sadly and angrily. "You little lady, are you trying to keep your words?" He roared angrily.
"Of course I keep my word." Gu Yuqi smiled and took out a white silk handkerchief to wipe off the long sword, and then put it back into the scabbard, "Since you have lost, your life is naturally up to me. I Tell you when to die. You can die!"
The man was startled for a moment, then glared, "If you want to humiliate me, I shouldn't either! It's better to die!"
Gu Yuqi couldn't help but chuckled, "Why should I humiliate you? You've been ugly all your life, and you have a bad temper! Come on, you're hungry too, Daimei, don't we have some food left, take it out Feed them."
Only then did Dai Mei jump out of the hidden carriage, and smiled and bowed to Gu Yuqi, "Yes, Miss."
What kind of medicine was sold in Gu Yuqi's gourd, let alone those bandits, even Liang Huaiyu couldn't guess it. She looked at Gu Yuqi nervously. Intuitively, she felt that she should trust her daughter, but as a mother's instinct, she still couldn't help worrying, after all, these people were bandits. It seems that the daughter's intention is to win them over? Liang Huaiyu didn't even think about what it meant to win over these people.
"Little lady! What are you going to do!" The man was obviously confused by Gu Yuqi's actions. He was fighting to the death just now. Why did he suddenly start treating guests to dinner? What is this? !
"Of course I'll give you a way to survive." Gu Yuqi smiled and blinked. The woman in the pool cuts.
"You want to let us go?" the man asked in surprise.
While he was talking to Gu Yuqi, Dai Mei had already taken out the bowls and chopsticks, and she was a little bit reluctant. The bowls and chopsticks were carefully selected by her in the town, although they were not as expensive as the Hou's mansion. But it is already the best in that town. She has carefully wrapped these porcelains along the way, for fear of being damaged. Now she wants to take them out for the bandits to use, and she is really reluctant.
But since Gu Yuqi ordered it, let’s use it. At worst, I’ll buy a better one when I arrive in Jiangxia. I heard that Jiangxia City is a very lively and prosperous place, where there should be many good things for sale.
"Let you go, that's not too cheap for you!" Gu Yuqi snorted softly, "I spent a lot of effort to catch you."
As soon as she said this, all the robbers looked sideways and despised it. Come on, you just picked some flowers here and had a good meal. Come in.
Thinking of this, these bandits are not only a little discouraged, but they have been robbing here for several years. It is said that they are forced to live, but they have been here for so long without being wiped out by the officers and soldiers of the Jiangbei Camp. It's also a bit of a name. Who knew that the boat would capsize in the gutter today, and be cooked by a cute-looking little lady! It's really an 80-year-old woman who is stretching her child, and she will have no face to face people in the future.
But the food brought by that beautiful girl named Meimei is really delicious. Although it is leftovers, they are suffering here. Eating a whole meal is an extravagant hope, and they have already been caught. To be able to eat such delicious food, really... and seeing how beautiful the young lady is, even the maids are as good as each other, and the maid who brought the food is even more beautiful than the most beautiful girl in their village . Really... tsk tsk...
These gangsters are very busy with their mouths, gulping down the food Daimei sent them, and their eyes are also very busy, they are too busy looking at Gu Yuqi and the others. beautiful.
Dai Mei held up a bowl of food and handed it to the bandit leader, the man turned his head, "What do you mean!" The food was really delicious. He knew that his brothers had already started eating, and he was also hungry, but he has a lot of backbone, okay? Although he really wanted to stop loudly and tell his brothers not to eat the meals given by these women, but seeing his brothers starving one by one, he felt ashamed and uncomfortable in his heart. Brothers have followed me all these years, how can they not be full for a meal? They are also robbers, but they can count on their fingers the amount of food they have eaten in the past few years.
"You eat first, let's talk slowly after eating." Gu Yuqi was not angry when he was questioned by the man several times, but just looked at him with a smile.
The man put his mind to it, "Eat it! Eat it if you go to prison and beheaded. Even if I die, I will still be a good man eighteen years later." He glared at Gu Yuqi angrily, and raised his eyebrows Taking the bowl in his hand, he took the chopsticks and pulled it into his mouth.
Dai Mei frowned. Are the meals she made should be used? But... never mind. Daimei was also hungry when she was a child, and she knew what it felt like to be hungry. If she hadn't met the little lady, she didn't know what her fate would be.
She also kindly went to pour water for these people to prevent them from choking.
Zhao Wu and the other guards surrounded the bandits, watching those people gobble up their meals, they all shook their heads, it is enough to be bandits and treat them like this! Looking at these guys, although they are big and thick, it is a bit scary, but Zhao Wu looked carefully, they have thick calluses on their shoulders and fingers, they should be farmers, because they have to plow the land and bear the burden Cocoons will be felt in these positions.
When they fought just now, these people only knew some superficial kung fu, and they were taught by one person. Zhao Wu, who had been a coach, could tell at a glance. Because their fists and swordsmanship are completely in the same routine.
Zhao Wu couldn't help shaking his head, and asked, "Where are you farmers from?"
The bandits who were buried in the food raised their heads and looked at Zhao Wu suspiciously, "We are robbers!" One man shouted, and when he finished shouting, the others burst into laughter, and then echoed, "Yes, yes, We belong to the streets!"
"Still talking hard!" Zhao Wu glanced at them contemptuously, and those who robbed Daoer were robbed instead, and they really messed around enough! "To be honest, our little lady will not do anything to you. If you are not honest, you will all be sent to the Jiangbei camp! You have never seen the methods of those people. Good people go in, and they will lose their skin when they come out! " Zhao Wu threatened.
These bandits have long heard that the officers and soldiers of the Jiangbei camp are powerful, otherwise the bandits nearby would not have been suppressed by them. Zhao Wu had guessed their identities, and they were all people who had never seen anything before. A farmer in the big world, frightened by Zhao Wu's words, couldn't help but feel a little drummed in his heart. Even the few people who were laughing felt a little disgruntled, put away their smiles, and continued to eat with sullen heads.
There are still a few people left, you look at me, I look at you, although they are ready to move, but still no one is willing to speak, and they all turn their eyes to their boss.
The boss also listened to Zhao Wu's words, and his heart was full of sadness. He pretended not to know that his brothers were all looking at him, and ruthlessly took two mouthfuls of rice. After a while, the big bowl of rice was all gone. He pulled it into his stomach.
Gu Yuqi was not in a hurry, she had discovered what Zhao Wuneng had discovered just now. In fact, when the bandits were captured and yelled for their boss to run away, she had already made up her mind, otherwise she wouldn't be here. Spending so much time with these people.
Although their clothes are dirty, they have been patched where they are torn. The stitches of those patches are fine, and they are definitely not the handwriting of these old men. The direction of the stitches is different, which proves that they are not mended by the same person. Individuals, because the same person will unconsciously follow their own habits when using needles.
They have family nearby.
The officers and soldiers of the Jiangbei camp were very fierce in suppressing bandits. If it weren't for the people they cared about nearby, they should stay away from the Jiangbei camp and go to other places to loot houses. It is not difficult to guess from what they shouted that they have an old mother in a nearby village. Therefore, Gu Yuqi guessed that they were not vicious bandits at all, but villagers in the nearby villages who could not survive and were forced to go to "Liangshan" and become bandits.
They took advantage of the natural danger here to rob, but this place is remote, and there are very few caravans passing by, so they are so embarrassed.
"Where's your field?" Gu Yuqi waited for the leader to finish eating, and asked abruptly.
The man was drinking water from a water glass, and he couldn't help but choked on hearing this. He raised his eyes and took a deep look at Gu Yuqi, "What's the use of telling you! You are not an official master, how can you take care of so many things." After speaking, he smiled contemptuously, "Even if you are an official My master, how can he care about the lives and deaths of us people!"
His words confirmed Gu Yuqi's conjecture that they were indeed nearby villagers.
"Where is your village, can you show us?" Gu Yuqi asked again.
"What do you want to do?" The man suddenly became alert, suddenly regretful, what he said just now was tantamount to indirectly acknowledging their identities!
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't go to your village." Gu Yuqi stepped aside and opened a passage, "Now I will give you a choice, I will give you ten taels of silver for each of you, and you can take it home and give it to you." Your relatives, these ten taels of silver are enough for them to use for three years. It is considered as the money you have sold yourself for these three years. I will wait for you here for an hour. After an hour, those who are willing to follow me will reach the end of the canyon Look for me, those who don't want to go with me can stay at home, don't worry, I won't force you to come, ten taels of silver is enough for you to start a small business. I only wait for you for an hour, after an hour, I will If you want to follow me, try to come here within an hour. I don’t ask for anything else. For these three years, you must be absolutely loyal. When the three years are over, you are willing to continue working with me , I welcome, those who don’t want to continue working and want to go home, I will pay the travel expenses! During these three years, I will pay one tael of silver per year. After three years, I will be paid fifty taels of silver a year. If anyone among you has any other intentions, don't blame me for being cruel! You think about it yourself. Now you can go!"
As soon as Gu Yuqi finished speaking, those people stared at Gu Yuqi with wide eyes, as if they were looking at a monster.
There's nothing wrong with this little lady!
They are all robbers. Although the goose hunters have been pecked by geese, they are still bandits! This little girl Pianzi has the ability to catch them, but she won't punish them, and she will let them go home, and return ten taels of silver to each of them! He also promised them generous conditions. After three years, the wages would be fifty taels of silver a year. Even the shopkeepers of those shops in Jiangxia City didn't have such high wages! Is this little lady crazy? Did they hear correctly! A few of them were already digging their ears with their fingers, wanting to listen carefully, "Young lady! What you said just now is true!" A daring bandit hurriedly raised his head and asked.
He didn't know how to address the beautiful girl in front of him, but he heard that her maids called her Little Miss, so he also used this title.
"Of course it's true." Gu Yuqi smiled, "Runying, bring the silver. Give it to them, ten taels per person. Those who receive the silver can go back to see their families, and those who are willing to follow me, I will Waiting for you on the opposite side of the valley, remember, one hour, no waiting after expiration."
Runying also thought that her young lady had gone crazy, but she thought about it again, her young lady hadn't done a loss-making business until now! Thinking of this, even a money fan like her went and brought a small bag containing silver.
They don't have much cash on them, only two hundred taels, and it really hurts to send it out.
Qiuyue helped Runying stand on the side of the road holding the silver. The little six sons were the first to limping over, and stretched out their black claws tentatively towards Runying. Runying gritted her teeth and took it from the bag When a silver ingot of ten taels came out, the little six son was overjoyed, and grabbed the corner of the silver with his hand, but Runying was still reluctant to part with the silver, and refused to let go, and the two of them became deadlocked.
"Runying!" Gu Yuqi looked at Runying who was gnashing her teeth dumbfounded, and couldn't help calling out to her.
Runying raised her eyes and gave Gu Yuqi a pitiful look, then let go with a long sigh.
Little Six took the money into his hand, bit it with his teeth quickly, and then looked at Gu Yuqi ecstatically, "You really give it to me?" He asked in disbelief, afraid that he would leave with the money. I don't know where another arrow will fly out to shoot him to death!
Gu Yuqi threw him a bottle of medicine, and said with a smile, "This is a very good gold-chuang medicine. You use it on the wound, and I'm sorry if it hurts you! The silver is for you, just take it."
Little Six took the medicine bottle, still in a dream, dazed for a moment, then limped towards the depths of the valley with the silver and the bottle.
With Xiaoliuzi's precedent, the others woke up like a dream, threw away the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, stood up, and was about to pounce on Runying, Runying backed a few steps in fright, it was Zhao Wu who made the move Only then did he knock down the few people who reached out to snatch them to the ground. He shouted, "What's the hurry? The young lady said that everyone has it, so there must be it! Go in line! Go ahead and grab it, be careful I'm not welcome!"
Under Zhao Wu's forceful suppression, those bandits suffered a little, and immediately formed a long line in front of Runying obediently. As for the boss, Gu Yuqi asked with a smile, "Why don't you go get it?"
The man shook his head, "I have no family anymore!"
"Take it too." Gu Yuqi walked over, took an ingot from Runying's hand, and handed it to the man, "Take it, and go home once. You are the same, if you want to follow me, go across the valley Come to me!" After speaking, she stuffed the money into the man's hand, and then said to the others, "Clean up, let's pass through this valley now."
A few servant girls went over to help Daimei put away the bowls and chopsticks. According to Daimei's intention, throw away those bowls and chopsticks, but she thought about it, let's keep them. They all saw Gu Yuqi's move today. The young lady is such a prodigal, and the eldest lady also let her mess around. If these maids don't know how to be frugal, they are afraid that they will suffer from the northwest wind if they don't go to Kuizhou.
Daimei and the others naturally don't know where Gu Yuqi's confidence comes from. Runying knows, but a money fan like her, who just lost a large sum of money, is heartbroken to death. Willing to waste anything else. She also quickly washed the bowls and chopsticks with water and put them away.
Dai Mei thought, anyway, Miss means to take those people with her, these bowls and chopsticks will be specially used for them in the future, and when she arrives in Jiangxia City, she will go to the city to buy another batch.
Gu Yuqi led the people through the canyon in a mighty way, and when they reached the narrowest place, even Zhao Wu felt a little terrified. If they hadn't stopped in time, the little lady would have tricked those people down the mountain. It's really a big loss here!
This canyon is not particularly long, but it takes only one stick of incense to walk through it. Gu Yuqi arrived at the opposite side of the valley and asked everyone to stop, take a rest, and wait for those people by the way.
Liang Huaiyu then walked to Gu Yuqi's side, and asked softly, "Why did Ah Nan make such a decision just now?"
"Mother." Gu Yuqi took Liang Huaiyu's arm coquettishly, and walked with her among the gorgeous wild flowers, with soft green grass under her feet, Gu Yuqi leaned on Liang Huaiyu's shoulder, mother and daughter The bottom of my heart is peaceful and peaceful. "After we arrived in Kuizhou, we definitely needed some people. So my daughter thought, instead of recruiting some people who don't know the basics, it's better to keep those people around and use them."
"You know them all again?" Liang Huaiyu laughed.
"Mom, didn't you notice that Sister Chunxing and Sister Xia He are gone?" Gu Yuqi winked mischievously at Liang Huaiyu, and then smiled proudly.
"That's right! Where did the two of them go?" Liang Huaiyu then remembered that she didn't seem to see any trace of the two of them. She cried out, then thought about it, and laughed, "What did you send them for?" ?”
"I told them to follow those people to their villages secretly." Gu Yuqi said with a smile, "Mother is really smart, she can see through!"
"You kid! You still come to tease me!" Liang Huaiyu laughed teased by Gu Yuqi, "If I was smart, I should have guessed what you were going to do early in the morning!" She paused and continued to ask, "But I didn't see you just now Talk to them, how did you make them understand your intentions?"
"Mother, you don't know that!" Gu Yuqi proudly puffed her chest out and said, "Speaking of which, we can be considered as generals. I just gave them a few simple gestures. I was bored on the road a few days ago. I just thought that this kind of gesture should be very useful when it is inconvenient to speak, so I shared my thoughts with sisters Chun Xing and Xia He, and the two of them thought it was feasible, so we studied it. I didn't expect it to be used here."
Both Chun Xing and Xia He hid on the big tree. Without Gu Yuqi's instruction, they would not appear. After the bandit boss left, Gu Yuqi gave them a few gestures, and they understood Gu Yuqi's meaning at a glance , so quietly followed behind the boss.
Naturally, Gu Yuqi would not do anything she was not sure of. Although she had guessed the identities of those people, she still needed to verify them before she could rest assured. That's why she let Chun Xing and Xia He follow secretly.
These two people are quick-witted and good at martial arts and light work, so Gu Yuqi is very relieved of them.
"You child!" Liang Huaiyu looked at her daughter in surprise and joy, and couldn't help being proud and proud in her heart, "Teach me those gestures later!" she said.
"That's natural. Not only mother has to learn, but our guards have to learn. Sometimes there will be unexpected good." Gu Yuqi said. This is what she came up with inspired by modern war movies. In her last life, she put all her thoughts on Yun Ke, only thinking about how to make Yun Ke fall in love with her.
But now it's different, Gu Yuqi feels like a fish that has escaped from the fishing net and is swimming freely in the sea. After getting rid of the small circle in the capital, her whole heart has broadened, and her thinking is no longer limited to Yunke's one-acre land is divided into three parts.
She felt that she was really stupid in her previous life. She obviously had better knowledge and experience than the ancients, so why did she want to hang herself on the crooked neck tree of Yun Ke!
But now Gu Yuqi has a strange expression flying between her eyebrows, and a magnificent picture is outlined in her chest. No longer constrained in the capital, no longer constrained in the palace and the Marquis's mansion, my vision has broadened, and my heart has grown bigger.
She said that she wanted her mother to return to the capital ten times more beautifully than before, so she must do it!
Looking at the expression on her daughter's face, Liang Huaiyu felt that her choice might not be wrong. In the Hou Mansion, her daughter was docile but with a bit of indescribable depression. Birds fly, the sea is wide with the freedom and joy of fish jumping.
May she be happy forever, Liang Huaiyu silently prayed to this piece of blue sky from the bottom of her heart.
