Chapter 277 Everyone is going

Watching the father and his four sons leave, Mrs. Gu naturally felt uncomfortable, but in order not to worry the younger generations, she pretended to be strong.

"Mom, are you okay?" Gu Yuru asked in a low voice.

Old Madam Gu shook her head. From what the old man said to her last night, she knew that this time would be difficult.

If he was sure, he would never reveal so much.

"It's okay, your father and the others will definitely return safely."

Even so, she still felt unsure.

Gu Yuru was not an illiterate woman. She had read military books before. Anyone with a little knowledge would know how difficult it was to win in this situation.

But she couldn't say it, because once she did, the whole family would be in chaos.

The villagers were very happy to know that the Gu family was back in battle. In their eyes, the Gu family was majestic, wise and brave, and there was no battle they could not win.

They were happy because the Gu family finally had the opportunity to return to Shangjing City.

Although I feel a little reluctant, I am grateful to the Gu family and hope everything goes well for them.

Facing the concerned faces, Gu Jia could only force a smile.

After many days of travel, there was no news at all, but no news is the best news.

"I don't know what to do about the food and fodder?" Song Qiang said worriedly. She had no energy to go to the shop these days.

Although we have to live without anyone, life will be different without that person.

"We don't have much information here, so no one can say for sure." Although Zhang Yi didn't sigh, he was also very worried.

"Oh, I still don't earn enough, otherwise I would sell food and send it to them. How can we fight a war if we don't have enough to eat?" Song Qiang sighed.

Old Madam Gu rubbed her brows, wanting to comfort her two daughters-in-law, but she didn't want to say a word.

"Xie Xun, what are you doing..."

Old Madam Gu looked at Xie Xun who suddenly came in. He had a serious expression on his face, as if something had happened.

"I just came to tell you that I have to go out to do some things tomorrow."

Madam Gu frowned, "Xie Xun, the master is not here, you should stay here. If anything goes wrong, how can I explain it to him?"

Zhang Yi and Song Qiang also tried to dissuade him, but Xie Xun insisted, "I'll be fine. Even if something does happen... I won't bring trouble to the Gu family."

"That's not what I meant. From the moment I saved you, I no longer cared about that. I was just worried about you..."

"Madam, the shortage of food and fodder is of great importance. It not only affects the safety of General Gu, but also the safety of tens of thousands of civilians."

"But... do you have any solution?"

After asking this question, Mrs. Gu felt a little regretful. What could she do with just one child?

"I do!" Xie Xun's answer was unexpected.

The eyes of everyone present lit up.

"Seriously? Xie Xun, this is no joke!"

Song Qiang also agreed, "Yes, although I know you have good intentions, but you can't lie to us about this matter, right?"

Xie Xun nodded, "I really have a way, old lady, so I must leave."

"This..." Madam Gu was still a little worried, because the old man had specifically instructed her before leaving that Xie Xun must stay here.

"I know the old general must have told you to let me stay here and protect me, but the old general's business is more important now."

"Xie Xun..."

"Now it's time for me to repay him." Xie Xun said seriously.

"Mom, how about..."

Song Qiang was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Yi's eyes.

"Madam, I have a way to raise food and supplies. If I leave, the old general still has a chance of survival." Xie Xun said firmly.

"Even if I don't agree, will you leave?" asked Mrs. Gu.

Xie Xun nodded, "These people can't stop me."

Madam Gu sighed, "You've grown up and have your own ideas. If that's the case, then I agree, but you must be careful."

Xie Xun nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Mumu, who was sitting next to the old lady at this time, rolled her eyes and said, "Grandma, I want to go with Brother Xie Xun too."

"Can't!"

Everyone spoke almost at the same time.

"It's not safe for you to follow me." Xie Xun frowned.

"Yeah, Twilight. You should stay here."

Li Mumu shook her head. "I want to help too. I'm going to find Shopkeeper Peng."

"That won't work either. If you have anything to say, I can just pass it on for you." Xie Xun still felt that the little girl shouldn't go out.

Li Mumu blinked at him and said, "That won't do."

"Twilight!"

"Mom, I also want to help grandpa and uncles." Li Mumu said seriously.

"You are so young, how can you help? This requires a lot of food." Song Qiang said with a wry smile.

"I suddenly remembered, what tactics do the enemies Grandpa is going to use?"

"Tactics? How do you know?" The women of the Gu family are still very sensitive about war.

Li Mumu had no choice but to continue lying. She couldn't say that she saw it in the book, because the book described the enemy's overwhelming momentum and gave some description of their tactics.

Li Mumu thought that as long as she could come up with a reasonable tactic based on the enemy's fighting style, she might be able to turn the tide.

"I don't remember when I heard them say that."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Tell your grandpa? But your grandpa has fought him more than once or twice, he should know."

Li Mumu sighed. The fighting style this time was different. Even if grandpa went there himself, it would be hard to say.

Most importantly, it describes that the enemy also used poison, which knocked down a large number of horses and soldiers, and the doctors in the army were helpless.

The reason she didn't say it was because she didn't know what the poison was. Without knowing what the poison was, she couldn't develop an antidote, so she could only talk about it when she got there.

This time, she must go.

Even if Xie Xun didn't go, she would still go.

But she was very curious, how could Xie Xun be so sure?

Could it be that he has been building up his own power during these years of dormancy?

But he is still so young, is it possible?

"I also heard that those people like to use poison. Mumu can detoxify and can help grandpa." Li Mumu was afraid that everyone would not let her go, so she said quickly.

Gu Yuru took a deep breath. "Dad also said that those people like to poison people, but they never won before. This time..."

"This time is different, mother. We don't have enough food to begin with. If we get into trouble again, we'll really lose."

After she said that, Gu Yuru couldn't stop her, but her daughter was so young, so she was still worried, "I'll go with you."

Li Mumu thought about it and didn't refuse. After all, she didn't plan to die there. As long as she was alive, the people at home naturally had to be safe.
