Fighting hand to hand, Gu Yuqi realized that these people's skills are actually very good! This made her have to cheer up and come out.
The goals of those killers were very consistent, that is, when she and Liang Huaiyu saw their mother and daughter approaching on horseback, they rushed over desperately.
Gu Yuqi took a look. This can't work, two fists can't beat four hands, she turned her eyes, and a plan came to her mind. "Chun Xing, Xia He, replace their arrows. Zhao Wu, lead a surprise attack on their middle." Gu Yuqi picked off a killer who rushed over. Ning Sheng shouted to Chun Xing, Xia He, and Zhao Wu. When they heard Gu Yuqi's shout, they were overjoyed. They gave each other a look in the air. They shot at the same time and shot down the two closest to them. A killer, and then both of them pulled the quiver off the killer's back.
Their arrows landed on poisonous ones, how powerful the poison was, the two of them had seen it before, those horse bandits who were going to rob them earlier. Most of them died under this kind of poisonous arrows, even if there was only a little scratch, it would quickly poison people down.
Equipped with poisoned arrows, Chun Xing and Xia He aimed at the killer's back row. Now they don't ask for one arrow to kill people, but for one arrow to pass by, and it is best to injure several people. Each of Chun Xing and Xia He directly installed three poisonous arrows on the bowstring, and the two let go at the same time, and the six poisonous arrows flew out in response, flying close to the ground. Chun Xing and Xia He shot at very tricky angles. Both shot the enemy's head, throat and chest, and the two of them bent down and shot the killer's legs in mutual understanding. The enemy has more people than you, so how to quickly weaken their attack power is the first thing to consider at present.
Six poisonous arrows flew out against the grass. There were a few muffled sounds, and the calves of several people were scratched. The several killers felt a pain in their legs first, and then a numbness. Come on, by the time they realized that they had been hit by an arrow, the poisonous blood had already started to spread towards the heart.
The effect of the poisonous arrow was immediate, and it didn't take long for several killers to fall.
Chun Xing and Xia He were overjoyed when they saw a successful blow, and pulled the second string, but this time it was not so easy for them to release the arrow. The killers saw the threat these two women posed to them. It's huge, and someone has already been assigned to greet the two of them.
Chun Xing and Xia He had to temporarily discard the bows and arrows in their hands. He drew his sword and fought with them. After the two of them were dealt with, they picked up their bows and arrows again.
Wang Yan followed Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu, protecting them all the time. He suddenly found that fighting with Gu Yuqi was very enjoyable, because Gu Yuqi's predictions were very accurate, and the Liang family's marksmanship that she rode on a horse had already been brought into play by her. It has reached the extreme, and Liang Huaiyu is not like this. The two of them have practiced this set of marksmanship no less than a hundred times. They usually break each other's moves and are familiar with each other's intentions. Make up for the horizontal position, the two long spears are intertwined in front of them to form a three-dimensional protective net, and Wang Yan only needs to be responsible for helping them deal with the killers who attacked from the side.
Zhao Wu hadn't killed so heartily for a long, long time. He felt as if he had returned to the past, when he was still beside General Liang. His sword skills were taught by General Liang himself, from the Liang family What evolved from marksmanship is also extremely fierce. Gu Yuqi told him to raid the middle, and he immediately led his guards and rushed in from the middle of the crowd, and quickly cut the originally twisted killer in half from the middle.
The martial arts of Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi come from a family of generals, and they pay attention to immediately killing the enemy. Their moves are full of murderous aura. When they meet on the battlefield, there will be no tricks to defeat the enemy.
Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi's current advantage is that they are riding on horseback, and their spears are more restrained against those close-range weapons. An inch of length is an inch of strength. Although the killers are very skilled, they rush forward desperately, but Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi cooperate even more Perfect, plus there are many guards led by Zhao Wu raiding left and right, and Chun Xing and Xia He are in the rear from time to time firing cold arrows with their bows. As time goes on, the killers' advantage has gradually turned into a decline.
A young man stood far away on a hilltop, silently watching the battle at the end of the valley. He wore a small mask on his face, revealing only a nearly perfect jaw and two cherry red lips.
The more he looked at the corner of his lips, the bigger the smile became.
"Young master, that woman is too tough. I'm afraid that the people we send out this time will still be wiped out." A man in gray clothes stood beside him, and his face was also facing a gray mask. The mask was not as delicate as the boy's face. Although there wasn't much fluctuation in his voice, there was still some regret and dissatisfaction in his voice.
"Ah Hui, did you see anything?" The boy smiled and asked the man in gray beside him.
"The subordinate is incompetent. I can only see that the woman is difficult to deal with!" The man in gray cupped his fists and said apologetically. "But young master, don't worry, this subordinate will definitely find a way to complete this order. It won't damage our reputation."
"Hehe. It's okay, it's okay." The boy smiled and waved his hands, "You don't need to worry about this list."
"Young Master's meaning..." The man in gray looked at the boy in confusion.
"She is a rare general." The young man stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, watching the battle below, and couldn't help but said to the man in gray, "Look at her command, it is very clear and effective. The two archers Detour to the back row to attack, in the middle is a powerful cavalry roaming back and forth to break up the opponent's formation, divide and surround and kill them one by one, while she and Liang Huaiyu beside her support the whole situation from the front, attracting all the attention of the opponent On them." The young man said and sighed softly, "If such a rare general can be used by me, then..."
Although the fight in front of him was only small-scale, but the girl was able to maintain a calm mind when she was suddenly attacked, and she commanded her subordinates calmly, which is really admirable.
Standing on the mountain, the young man repeatedly saw a magnificent war scene in front of him. What Gu Yuqi faced was no longer fifty killers, but the enemy's thousands of troops, and what she commanded was no longer Zhao Yuqi. There are only a few people like Wu, but the iron horse he gave her as a gift, the iron horse is golden, the sound of killing is harsh, and the girl's beautiful eyes and eyebrows can only be killed with a single thought.
"What does the young master mean..." the gray clothed man's eyes jumped and he asked aloud.
"I'm going to marry her!" The young man was silent for a moment, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, his lips seemed to be stained with blood. He looked down at his hand quilt, there was a slight sword mark on his fair skin, and the smile on his lips grew stronger.
Gu Yuqi, the young man silently read Gu Yuqi's name from the bottom of his heart, and there were little stars in his eyes, like a vast sea of stars.
If the stalemate continued, the scene began to be one-sided. Zhao Wu led many guards back and forth in the killer's hinterland. Separated from the middle, so that they can no longer be twisted into a ball, and Chun Xing and Xia He perfectly harassed with poisoned arrows on the rear of the wings, knocking down several poisoned killers from time to time.
Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu were facing the enemy head-on, just as the boy had analyzed, they attracted most of the killer's attention, making Zhao Wu and Chun Xing's actions more smooth.
The ending has already been decided at the beginning of the battle.
Gu Yuqi killed more than 50 enemy killers with a brilliant record of zero casualties. In addition to the previous bandits, they defeated the enemy with several times their number with a dozen people. Only one guard was accidentally injured by his arm. Cut a big hole out.
The numerous bodyguards led by Zhao Wu were very excited. It had been a long time since they had done such a big fight. The soldier factor flowing in the blood began to surge again. Their faces were full of pride and fatigue, but with a few signs of fatigue. Very excited.
happy!
Zhao Wu wished he could raise his head to the sky and let out a roar, he never thought that protecting the little lady would lead to such a smooth battle.
Zhang Lan has been nervously protecting the carriage and the people in it from behind, and he can see the battle ahead without missing a beat. The more he watches, the more ashamed he feels in his heart and he can't restrain it from the bottom of his heart. proud of.
He looked at the figure of Gu Yuqi on the horse, this is the person he should serve and follow, even if she is only a woman, but her kindness and intelligence, as well as her outstanding martial arts and calm mind, how many men in the world can to contend with
He only hated his poor skills, if he could, he could ride his horse forward and fight the enemy with a spear in his hand!
Li Da and his two subordinates were obviously speechless in shock. He knew that Gu Yuqi was strong, but he didn't expect that she would be so strong...Look at her sitting proudly on the horse now, with the spear in her hand, the tip of the gun Slightly facing downwards, the originally white spear fringe has been stained with a little bit of dark red by blood. Her red dress is extraordinarily dazzling in the midday sun, like the two flowers blooming on both sides of the Styx River, so red that it is in full bloom. .
Even Wang Yan had to give Gu Yuqi a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart. He had already prepared for the worst. If he lost to these killers, he would definitely abandon the others and take Gu Yuqi away first. After all, the prince said that Gu Yuqi's safety is more important than anything else. But I didn't expect that under her calm and composed command, she actually won more with less, won, and even won a complete victory. It seems that the letters and newspapers he has to write to the prince every day must be written on several large sheets of paper today.
"Let's go quickly." Gu Yuqi asked Zhao Wu to check the killers and horse bandits, and said to everyone after confirming that there were no more survivors.
These people were originally dead men, once they met, either you would die or he would die, so Gu Yuqi didn't have to feel pity for them.
After packing up, the group traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Kuizhou City in the afternoon of three days.
Kuizhou City is the place where the Three Kingdoms meet, with Daliang to the northwest and Rouran to the northeast, and this half is all the land of Daqi. In Kuizhou City, there is a guarding department, which has the double responsibility of city defense and managing the city's affairs. However, after so many years, the guarding department focuses on city defense, but is not very clear about the management of the city's affairs.
The main reason is that there are mixed fish and dragons in the city of Kuizhou. It is too difficult to manage, and there are many people from Daliang and Rouran living here. Really have to take care of it every day, the guards don't have to do anything else, they have to patrol the streets every day to prevent fights. So as long as the beating is not particularly severe, the guards will turn a blind eye.
Even if someone is killed, as long as the sufferer doesn't report, the guardian will be lazy to take care of it.
After entering the city, Gu Yuqi first found a relatively large teahouse to sit down and rest.
Runying took out the house deed from her bag and handed it to Gu Yuqi. Gu Yuqi asked Zhao Wu to take the house deed to collect the house. She bought the house when she was still in the Hou Mansion, and it was prepared for this day.
Zhao Wu took the order and went. Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu drank tea while watching the scene outside.
Gu Yuqi's heart is of course very sad, her dream for many years has finally come true, she really brought her mother here.
Liang Huaiyu couldn't stop looking around. Compared with other big cities in Daqi, this Kuizhou city is still a lot of desolation. bleakness and poverty.
The streets are not as clean and wide as the capital and the south of the Yangtze River. They are all dirt roads. When people and horses pass by, smoke and dust will rise behind them. There is very little rain here, but in the rainy season, the road will be muddy.
There are quite a lot of shops facing the street, but they are tall and short, of all kinds, and the houses are dilapidated. Most of them are earthen houses rammed with mud. In some places, more than half of them have collapsed. The roofs are not made of bricks and tiles. It is simply paved with grass. From time to time, there are chickens, ducks and other poultry flying and jumping on the road, and some people have pigs and sheep tied to the door. If you get close, the smell is really not good.
Look at the tables and chairs in this teahouse, all of which are very simple, made of logs, unpainted but with a layer of tung oil, and the cups in their hands are very huge, made of rough porcelain, with a The glaze is rough to the touch, and this is one of the best teahouses in the city.
"Ah Nan, it's too poor here." Liang Huaiyu couldn't help lowering her voice and said to Gu Yuqi, "Do we really want to live here?"
"Mother thinks it's not good here?" Gu Yuqi turned her head slightly, "But this is the handover of the Three Kingdoms, and it's very safe with the guards here." There is a delicate balance at the junction of the Three Kingdoms. However, when fighting to the death with Daqi, there was no war here, only small-scale civil conflicts.
"It's not bad, I just feel that you have been wronged." Liang Huaiyu said with a slight sigh. In fact, it doesn't matter where she lives, but Gu Yuqi is still young, if she stays in this kind of place all the time, in the future... Forget it, Liang Huaiyu also feels that she is thinking too much, so let's stay here first. Besides, her daughter strongly recommends this place, presumably she must have her own considerations, Liang Huaiyu has been too lazy to ask Gu Yuqi what she wants to do along the way.
Anyway, no matter what she does, just be with her.
Zhao Wu looked for the address according to the house deed, and after a while, he came back with a smile on his face, "The house has been found, Missy and Missy, let's follow their humble positions. The house is very good."
Gu Yuqi's heart was relieved, and she asked Runying to entrust a reliable businessman in the capital to buy a house here. She had already stated her requirements in advance, and this house was bought after two years of searching. It cost her a lot of money, but after all, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, so she didn't know what to do.
But looking at Zhao Wu's face now, Gu Yuqi also felt that the house was probably reliable.
Zhao Wu led the crowd out of the teahouse, heading east all the way, and stopped in front of a house in the southeast corner of Kuizhou City.
It was really a big house, even bigger than Gu Yuqi imagined. The wall is made of bluestone, which is in sharp contrast with the surrounding earth walls. Although there are no glazed tiles on the top of the wall, it is already very tall compared to the surrounding ones.
The gate is very wide, and there are three low steps in front of the gate, all of which are also piled up with strips of stone. There are two small stone lions at the gate, which are relatively clumsy in carving, but they still have momentum. The wooden door was thick and painted black, with brass latches. Entering the courtyard is a screen wall, on which a group of fairies are carved with stones. Walking around the screen wall, it suddenly opens up in front of the eyes, and it is a large courtyard. There are no flowers and plants, but the ground is flattened with stones. This house is the same as the garden that Liang Huaiyu bought in Jiangxia City, with three entrances and three exits, but it can't compare with the exquisite and meticulous carved beams and painted buildings over there. Everything here is very extensive, with a strong northern atmosphere.
There are two gardens at the back, but unfortunately there are not many flowers and plants here, and no one tidies up the gardens. Now that it is summer, the grass grows extremely tall and unkempt. But what is commendable is that the yard is equipped with a lot of wells. There is generally little precipitation and lack of water here. With these wells, you are not afraid. Moreover, there is a large artificial lake in the yard. On top of it, there are sharp corners of lotus leaves in the lake, finally bringing a bit of elegance to the yard. Come Giantess.
"You bought such a big yard?" Liang Huaiyu couldn't believe it, "There are many gardens in Jiangxia City here, not smaller than the Hou's Mansion in the capital!"
"Yeah." Gu Yuqi said with a smile while pulling her mother back and forth to visit, "Don't look at how big this place is, but it's really cheap." The rich people here are thinking of moving to the south, who wants to live in Here, so the price of this yard is less than one-third of that in Jiangxia City.
"This place is good!" Liang Huaiyu fell in love with it just after reading it once, and kept holding Gu Yuqi's hand and said, "Ah Nan chose well."
Not only Liang Huaiyu likes this place, but everyone else also likes it when they see it. Such a big yard can roll sideways.
There are still some furniture in the house, but they are not very useful anymore, so everyone started to act immediately, without Gu Yuqi assigning them, and automatically and consciously assigned tasks. Zhang Lan's subordinates were divided into several groups. Those who followed Daimei went to buy kitchen utensils, some followed Runying to buy furniture, and the other guards rolled up their sleeves to fetch water from the well and cleaned the entire yard.
Chun Xing led someone to clean the doors and windows. They chose the place to live and cleaned it up first, and then slowly cleaned up the other places later.
Lin Xiuer followed Gu Yuqi and walked around other remote places in the yard. Many houses were still locked. With Lin Xiuer by her side, there was no need to look for keys. All the locks in this yard have been opened again.
Gu Yuqi's work here is in full swing, but Yun Ke in the capital has received a letter from Wang Yan.
He suddenly stood up from the chair, someone wanted to kill her! who? Although Wang Yan made it clear that those people did not succeed, he also explained that all those who went were dead soldiers.
Dead man! Who did she offend
There was also a small flying knife with the letter. Yun Ke picked up the flying knife and looked at it carefully. He felt as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
With a thought in his mind, he called the dark guards to come in.
When the hidden guard appeared in front of his eyes, he was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously put away the letter, "It's you, Du Xia."
"Yes, today is a humble job." Du Xia had already caught a glimpse of the letter on the table, and he knew it was sent by Wang Yan, but before Yun Ke read the letter, he did not avoid the hidden guard. But this time... His heart wrinkled slightly. Could it be that something happened to Gu Yuqi
He can feel that Yun Ke doesn't shy away from him in other matters, but when it comes to Gu Yuqi, he doesn't like him to intervene, and even Wang Yanlai's letter cannot be passed to the prince through his hands.
This made him very puzzled. But Yun Ke is the master, and he is just a secret guard, so he can only do what Yun Ke wants.
He also caught a glimpse of the small flying knife on the table, which should have been sent along with the letter, Wang Yan would not send a hidden weapon back for no reason. Could it be that they really encountered some killer
Du Xia's heart also became uneasy, and he was slightly dazed for a moment.
"Go down." Yun Ke waved his hand, "Call Li Meng in."
"Yes." Du Xia came back to his senses, and retreated calmly.
It must be something for the prince to call him in, but why not hand over the errand to him directly? He can feel Yun Ke's appreciation for him, and he also cherishes every opportunity Yun Ke gave him, and he does everything he can.
The reason for not entrusting him with errands is not that he cannot do them, but that he is not allowed to do them.
Is it really about Gu Yuqi? Where did that flying knife come from
Du Xia stood in the dark, but pricked up his ears to hear what Yun Ke asked Li Meng to do. But the lord was determined not to let him know, he couldn't hear the slightest bit of wind.
