Chapter 99 Gu Changxiao's admiration

Zheng Yun could only imitate Yan Jiu's words and bowed:

"The overall situation is more important. If the Tartars are not stopped outside the border city, they will attack Yanzhou City. It's just food and fodder for two thousand men and horses. What is it worth to us?"

After Zheng Yun finished speaking, she said goodbye and went to prepare supplies. Li Heng then persuaded several family heads who followed the crowd. The troublemaker Zhou family was the last one to agree.

Because Li Heng imitated the scoundrel method of the Li King and said to him: "If the head of the Zhou family is unwilling to provide this amount of food and grass, the Li King's troops will have to stay at the Zhou family after entering the city."

The head of the Zhou family was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but finally he was willing to provide food and supplies to maintain peace.

What surprised Jin Sui was that Yan Jiu actually went out of town to see her.

"Your Highness is fine. Yan Jiulang admires your ambition, but the Yan family cannot help in the battle against the Tartars."

Jin Sui smiled and said, "Jiulang has taken the lead in responding to my request, which is already a great help!"

"Yan Jiu wishes His Majesty a successful start!"

At the same time, the imperial envoy received news that the Tartars were coming to Yanzhou. The imperial envoy received news that a Tartar army passed by several cities and headed straight to the northeast.

Judging from the map, the Tartars' destination can only be Yanzhou!

Well, they automatically ignored the border towns because in the eyes of the imperial court and outsiders, the border towns were not cities at all, but just camps for soldiers stationed on the border.

If the Tartars come to attack that place, they will naturally give up, and King Li will definitely live in Yanzhou City.

Imperial Envoy Liu estimated the speed of the Tartars and immediately decided: "Don't move forward. Wait until the Tartars retreat before heading to Yanzhou."

He is afraid of death!

Although his mission as an imperial envoy was to ask King Li for the prescription as soon as possible to treat the people of Luocheng.

But the lives of the people in Luocheng are important, and so is his life! Once the Tartars come, Yanzhou will be in chaos. Not to mention the imperial envoy, even if the emperor comes, it will be useless.

Saving your life is the most important thing! I will pretend to be sick tomorrow and spend a few days on the road.

It was Hao Duojin who discovered that the imperial envoy was feigning illness to delay his journey. Hao Duojin was always smart and he bribed Liu's entourage with silver and found out the reason from them.

Hao Duojin immediately called over his other four brothers, and after discussing it, the five of them agreed and immediately abandoned the imperial envoy group and rushed to the border town as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Hao Duojin also brought a message to Gu Changxiao. He had already discovered Grandpa Ling and the other two and knew that they were the three Taoists that the prince was looking for.

Originally, the three were invited to go together, but Gu Changxiao firmly opposed it, saying that they wanted to follow the imperial envoy group secretly and not let Imperial Envoy Liu know of their existence.

Because Imperial Envoy Liu knew Prince Li, his secret would be exposed as soon as they met.

The reason why Gu Changxiao had been following the imperial envoys was that his secret guards had found out that there were assassins planted by Prince Yu in the imperial envoys.

It goes without saying that these assassins must have come to assassinate King Li, but the secret guards have not yet found out who they are.

Therefore, Gu Changxiao also investigated secretly all the way. When he had no choice, he would rather show up himself to divert the assassins than let Taoist Ji be assassinated.

His original plan was to find Taoist Ji three days before the imperial envoys arrived in Yanzhou.

Together they set up a dragnet to capture these assassins.

I didn't expect things to change so quickly. I heard that the Tartars were coming to attack.

Gu Changxiao thought about what Taoist Ji Xiao had done after arriving in Yandi, and he asked Grandpa Ling:

"Do you think Taoist Ji will retreat back to Yanzhou City to ensure safety, or will he defend the border city to the death?"

Grandpa Ling was still in deep thought when Jin'an answered first: "My brother is so brave, he is not afraid of anything, not even the Tartars!"

"She won't hide, she will definitely lead her troops to fight back against the Tartars!"

Grandpa Ling nodded slowly. If it were the Jinsui of the past, he could say with certainty that he would definitely enter Yanzhou City.

But he really couldn’t guess what Jinsui was like now!

Of course, if it were the Jinsui of the past, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing as pretending to be King Li.

"No matter what, let's assume that Sui Sui did not flee to Yanzhou City, but stayed at the border city. What should we do?"

Gu Changxiao stood up and said, "Master Ji, take Jin'an and follow the imperial envoys slowly. I will go ahead!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Taoist Ji and reunite you and your grandchildren."

Grandpa Ling opened his mouth, but in the end he only said: "Take care of yourself too, and stay safe."

Jinan said anxiously: "Grandpa, let's go with Brother Gu! I can also protect my brother."

With his previous record of running away, Grandpa Ling quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Don't make trouble!"

"Can you carry a gun or a knife?"

Jinan felt aggrieved: "But my brother must be very scared. If we go over to accompany her, she won't be scared anymore."

Grandpa Ling and Gu Changxiao didn't believe this. Just based on what Ji Sui did after arriving in Yandi, she was not someone who would be afraid! Gu Changxiao went with Hao Duojin and the other four. Each of them had two horses, and they rode at top speed to rush to the border town.

When we arrived at Yanzhou, we already felt that a storm was about to come. There were no people walking around, and all the city gates and checkpoints were closed.

Fortunately, Hao Duojin had the border soldier's badge with him, otherwise he would not have been able to get back.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At the same time, they also received accurate news. As expected, King Li did not choose to enter the city to avoid disaster, but chose to resist the Tartars!

There was no need to ask any questions about this news, because the defenders at each checkpoint were talking about it.

And Gu Changxiao heard that they were saying that the King of Li was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and did not know how cruel the Tartars were.

But there was still admiration in that tone.

After all, as the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan, they have not chosen to confront the Tartars head-on for many years. They have just paid some money and food to avoid disaster.

The King of Li is really courageous!

Hao Jinjin and the other five were very excited: "I knew our prince would not abandon the border town and run away!"

"Damn it, the Tartars also have one nose and two eyes, what's so scary about that?

In the past, they could come to the border town to collect money, but from this year onwards, our border town will be their forbidden area!"

"Hurry, hurry back to help the prince. If you return early, you can kill a few Tartars. If you return later, those guys will definitely kill all the Tartars!"

Gu Changxiao felt a different feeling after hearing this. In the eyes of him and Grandpa Ling, Ji Sui was a daring and trouble-making person.

In the eyes of the border soldiers, he is so respected.

He couldn't help but ask: "Do you respect the King of Li?"

Hao Duojin said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course! Master Gu doesn't know that before the prince, no one above us treated us as human beings."

Another soldier said in a deep voice: "If the Tartars had attacked before, we soldiers would have just scattered and fled. But now, we are willing to fight to the death with the prince!"

Hao Duojin nodded: "Yes! Even if we die following the prince, it's worth it!"

The corner of Gu Changxiao's mouth twitched. I have become a Taoist priest.

But the real Taoist Ji is the King of Li who is followed and respected by the soldiers.

He seems to be more suitable to be the King of Evil than me, the real King of Evil!

Ever since I heard that Ji Sui led troops to guard the border town and resist the Tartars.

In Gu Changxiao's mind, all those ridiculous things he had done before, such as privately printing the 'Li Da Wuxian Wang' and making the Li Wang's inhumanity known to everyone.

Things like snatching Zheng's beautiful concubine and having an entanglement with Yan Shier Niang became unimportant.

He was filled with admiration. Although Taoist Ji was disabled, his bones were harder than those of any man in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan!
