They stood guard at the gate and around the house.

These are Yu Yacai's personal soldiers, and the people who deserve Yu Yacai's most support.

Yu Yacai stood in the yard and instructed his close friends about Xu Qiudong's arrangements.

"Tomorrow morning, send someone to find her a new set of clothes and some women's rouge and powder. We should be in the capital in a few days, so it's time to dress her up properly."

"General, do you want to present her to the general?"

Yu Yacai nodded and said, "Well, she is a smart person. She will definitely win the favor of the general in one fell swoop. As long as she is favored by the general, we can also gain face in front of the general, and we won't have to do these despised jobs anymore."

"Well, General, you have given it much thought."

Xu Qiudong's room is right next to Yu Yacai's room.

He wanted to be able to appear in time to protect Xu Qiudong if anything happened.

The beauty he had finally found was gone just like that.

Early the next morning, Xu Qiudong took off her wedding dress and put on new clothes. Her pretty face set off by the goose yellow clothes made her look even more lively.

"Let's go."

Xu Qiudong casually tied her long hair behind her head with a hairpin.

When Yu Yacai saw this, he felt like something was missing. The hairstyle was too solemn and did not match the luxurious clothes.

Thinking of this, Yu Ya took out a gorgeous tassel hairpin from his arms.

Just as he was about to hand it to Xu Qiudong, he turned around and helped Xu Qiudong put it in her hair bun.

The personal guards beside Yu Yacai were stunned.

He often saw the general holding this hairpin in a daze, and later learned that it was a relic of the general's deceased wife. He didn't expect that it would be given away for a woman today?

Yu Yacai turned and left, "Let's go."

Xu Qiudong got back on the carriage, but the closer he got to the capital, the more Gu people he saw. In the end, some upgraded Gu people could even appear in the sun.

Yu Yacai and his group suffered heavy losses, and in the end even Yu Yacai got off his horse. Their men were barely enough to protect a few carts of food and the carriage that Xu Qiudong was riding in.

When they passed through a small town, the Gu people here blocked them, and one of them ran to Xu Qiudong's carriage and pulled it.

At this moment, Yu Yacai cut off the arm of the Gu man who was clinging to Xu Qiudong's carriage.

The Gu man lost an arm, but he did not bleed and did not feel any pain, and continued to attack them.

Yu Yacai and several personal guards protected Xu Qiudong's carriage.

Xu Qiudong gently lifted the carriage curtain with her delicate hands and said to Yu Yacai who was fighting, "Perhaps you can try fire."

Xu Qiudong's words lit up Yu Yacai's mind.

Yes, according to the characteristic of the Gu people being afraid of sunlight, he should also be afraid of fire.

There's nothing wrong with trying.

Thinking about it, he told one of them, "Go find a torch."

"yes."

After a while, the man actually took out a torch from somewhere.

Yu Yacai couldn't wait to try whether fire could be used to resist the Gu people.

Yu Yacai took the torch and tried it on one of the poisoned people.

The Gu man did indeed retreat, as if he was afraid of the heat brought by the torch. Yu Yacai's eyes showed surprise, and he approached the Gu man and tried a few more times.

Finally, we came to the conclusion that the Gu people were also afraid of fire.

Yu Yacai shared this discovery with the soldiers and asked them to prepare torches to drive away the poisonous people.
