The army drillmaster Yu Xiaoxiao (玉小小) [aka “Little Jade”] transmigrated from a zombie apocalypse world into the body of the eldest imperial princess. On her first day, she got hitched to young Gen...
The news that Young Master Gu had his butler spread quickly throughout Wangxiangguan. Of course, it inevitably reached the ears of the earth spirit who was recuperating in a private house in Wangxiangguan. (Read the latest chapter┲﹊Please丄﹏☆~ωǒReading Pavilion]Ww.КAN�sHUg.℃Oм)
The injury to Di Ling's lungs made it difficult for him to get up or lie down. He even had to be careful when drinking water. If he accidentally choked or coughed a few times, the pain in his lungs could cost him his life.
The man who had followed Di Ling all the way from Fengjing City to Wangxiang Pass knelt beside the recliner where Di Ling was sitting and said, "I saw with my own eyes a general leading a group of cavalry out of the city and heading into the mountains."
The Earth Spirit snorted coldly and said, "Those mountain folks are seeking death."
The guy said, "Gu Xinglang looks like a ghost, how come those mountain people don't know how to be afraid?"
"People die for money," Di Ling muttered, and ordered the guy, "Go watch outside the city. If you see Gu Xinglang, come back and tell me immediately. I'll go pick him up." Now the only one who can make Gu Xinglang obey is Tong Ling. Di Ling didn't want to move, but he had to take Tong Ling to pick up Gu Xinglang in person.
The guy agreed to the request, got up and ran away quickly.
That night, Gu Xingyan received a letter from his eldest brother Gu Dong. In the letter, the eldest son Gu told the second son Gu not to show up in public or stay in the mansion after finding out Gu Xinglang's whereabouts, but to find a place to hide in case the earth spirits try Xinglang and ring the bell to let Xinglang come and kill him.
Gu Xingyan's head ached when he read the letter from the eldest young master Gu. How could he feel at ease if he didn't see his little brother pass the city gate with his own eyes? But killing his brother? The second young master Gu gnashed his teeth and wished he could send troops to the Eternal Life Temple right now. It was too painful to endure such anger.
"Where is my elder brother?" After putting the letter away, the second young master Gu asked Gu Dong who delivered the letter.
Gu Dong hurriedly said, "Master, when you go to kill the Japanese, you have to pass through the township gate. Master ordered me to deliver the letter first."
Young Master Gu asked, "When will he arrive at the village?"
Gu Dong said: "Maybe four days later."
Young Master Gu sat and thought for a while, then summoned several generals to his residence and locked the door to discuss all night. The next morning, Young Master Gu announced that he was going to pick up his elder brother who was escorting the princess' dowry to Zhuri and was going to fight his way out of the Wangxiang Pass. He led a team of personal soldiers and rode out of the south gate of the Xiang Pass.
Instead of finding a hiding place or something, it would be better for him to leave. He is no longer in Wangxiang Pass, so why would this old guy Diling use such a despicable trick of letting his younger brother kill him?
Di Ling heard from his subordinates that the second young master Gu had led his men out of the pass to meet the eldest young master Gu. He looked unhappy. It seemed that his plan to take Gu Xingyan's life and give Gu Xinglang a final try had failed.
Two days later, the second young master Gu met his elder brother on the official road. The first young master Gu asked as soon as they met: "Xinglang has left the retreat?"
The second young master Gu rode side by side with his eldest brother and turned to look at the people behind the eldest young master Gu.
Gu Lin and his companions were very smart. They immediately reined in their horses and slowed down their pace, putting some distance between them and the two young masters.
The second young master Gu told his eldest brother about how Gu Xinglang met some mountain people in the mountains and had his leg broken.
After hearing this, Mr. Gu was speechless for a long time.
"I sent Brother Cheng to the mountains," Gu Xingyan said, "but he hasn't sent anyone to give me any news yet. It seems Xinglang left and didn't run into him."
"Is it difficult to get out of the customs now?" asked Young Master Gu.
Young Master Gu said, "It's still the previous level. Xinglang knows it all."
Young Master Gu looked up at the sun and whispered, "Then Xing Lang should be out of retreat by now."
"Yes," Young Master Gu nodded, "If he is discovered, news will come from Xiangguan. Brother, will that old fellow Diling really let Xinglang come and kill me?"
Young Master Gu said, "I'm not sure, but we should always be on guard against others."
"Okay," said Gu Ershao, "Brother, you are right. Do you want to stay in Xiangguan for a few days?"
Young Master Gu shook his head and said, "I will go out directly. The sooner the matter is resolved, the better it will be for Xinglang and our brothers."
"Grandfather has returned to Beijing?" Young Master Gu asked again.
"I don't know," Young Master Gu whispered, "I didn't get any news from my grandfather when I left Beijing."
Young Master Gu turned his head and looked behind him. A rough count of the convoy his elder brother brought this time showed that there were more than a hundred vehicles.
"It's fake," Young Master Gu said with a wry smile when he saw his second brother looking back at the convoy, "The emperor said it's fake anyway, so just pack a few boxes of money to make it look good."
"What's on that car?"
"Brick," Young Master Gu said two words.
Second Young Master Gu..., has His Majesty gone mad because of poverty? If you don't want to send money, you can send some cloth, furniture, etc., which is also good, right? Is there anyone who would come all the way to send bricks? !
At this time, Young Master Gu saw another group of passers-by carrying packages on the official road. These people gathered together and walked towards Wangxiang Pass.
"People who came out of retreat to protect Buddha," Young Master Gu snorted disdainfully when he saw these passers-by, and whispered, "Before, in order to allow Xing Lang to come out of retreat, I didn't dare to close the retreat. When I go back this time, none of these people will be able to come out of retreat."
"How many people have left the army?" asked Young Master Gu.
"More than a thousand," said Gu Ershao, "If we stop them, there may be fewer people."
"Don't stop them," Young Master Gu looked at Young Master Gu and said, "These people want to die, just help them."
"Okay," Young Master Gu nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."
"Is there anyone leaving to become a general?" After walking forward for a while, the eldest young master Gu asked the second young master Gu.
"Not really, several captains left," said Young Master Gu.
Young Master Gu nodded slightly and said, "It's human nature."
"What?" Young Master Gu didn't understand.
"I already have wealth, why bother to seek wealth again?" Young Master Gu's smile was cold and he changed the subject, "Any news about the princess?"
"No," Young Master Gu said immediately, "I specifically asked the people guarding the gate, and no one has seen the princess."
Young Master Gu sighed and said, "When has she entered the Imperial Palace been discovered by the Imperial Guards?"
Young Master Gu remained silent.
"Let's go," Young Master Gu turned around and said to Gu Lin and the others.
Gu Lin turned around and said to the people behind him: "Speed up the journey, let's get to Wangxiang Pass as soon as possible."
The speed of the group walking on the official road suddenly increased.
The two brothers returned to Wangxiang Pass. Everything was normal in Xiangguan Pass, but they heard that the Gu family was serious about closing the pass. Therefore, caravans of all sizes were rushing to leave or enter the pass.
"Xinglang has gone out of seclusion," Young Master Gu whispered to Young Master Gu as they walked on the streets of the village.
Young Master Gu said, "He will suffer after he is released from prison."
Young Master Gu did not stay at Wangxiang Pass for a moment. He entered the pass from the south gate and exited from the north gate, heading straight towards Zhuri at the other end of the wasteland.
Almost a month after leaving Fengjing City, Jing Mo and his party returned to the outskirts of Jiuyan City, the capital of Zhuri. Seeing a group of people gathered together on the side of the road talking, they looked excited, Jing Mo ordered the captain of the guards to go and take a look.
After the guard left, he came back after a while and said to Jing Mo in a panic, "Master, something happened."
