Chapter 813 Give You Three Days
Gu Nanxi is very familiar with the Great Zhou Imperial City.
The once glorious imperial palace is now as bustling as a vegetable market, and has become a place for carnival for military debaters.
They swept through the temple like locusts.
The Nine Cauldrons, a ritual vessel, were dragged to the ground by ropes, and the bronze made a sharp whine as it hit the stone steps.
The thousand-year-old books in the library were torn up to use as kindling for the fire, and the flames licked the silk scroll of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". The green and blue landscape painted by Emperor Taizong himself curled up into ashes in the burnt smoke.
The Taihu stones in the back garden were pried up.
Fang La hated these Taihu stones.
It was because the Emperor of the Great Zhou wanted to use these Taihu stones that his family died tragically.
The palace maids who did not have time to escape huddled behind the rockery of Taiye Lake, but were forced out of the shadows by spears.
"Take the young ones away! Throw the old ones into the pond!" As Qu Shuai roared, the old nanny was still picking at the moss on the pond bank with her fingertips before she drowned.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of uniform horse hooves could be heard outside the city gate.
The riotous soldiers who had just been wantonly looting gold, silver and women stopped their actions and looked in the direction of the sound.
The palace was so huge and blocked by the gardens that they couldn't see anything.
But their ears can hear.
"Duke Yun is here, why don't you surrender quickly?"
Duke of Yun?
The Duke of Yun from Yunzhou?
The chaotic army swallowed nervously and dared not search around anymore. Instead, they gathered together to look for their leader.
"Saint, Duke Yun is here."
"Boss, Duke Yun is here."
Fang La's heart trembled. He actually came, and came so quickly!
He took several deep breaths and pretended to be calm, "Don't panic, I'll go meet her first!"
Fang La selected two trusted confidants to follow him out of the city.
He did not dare to bring more people with him, for fear of causing misunderstanding from Duke Yun.
On the way out of the city, Fang La's mind was full of thoughts.
He didn't want to occupy Kyoto, he just wanted to make a fortune, but he didn't expect that he would be blocked by Duke Yun just after he conquered Kyoto.
Asking him to give up the mountains of gold and silver he had obtained was like asking for his life.
But when he thought about having to fight Duke Yun head-on, Fang La became weak and had no confidence at all.
Before Fang La reached the palace gate, he saw the Yunzhou soldiers standing in unison, exuding a murderous aura!
They sat motionless on their horses, looking terrifying.
Fang La swallowed hard and used all his strength to control himself from running away.
The two trusted aides behind him felt their legs weaken under such a gaze and they couldn't even stand up.
Fang La lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the figure at the head, and said in a trembling voice: "Yun, Duke Yun, right? I, I am Fang La."
Gu Nanxi looked down at the person who was the leader of this chaos.
The man was about 1.7 meters tall and thin. He wore a long pearl necklace around his neck, four or five gold bracelets on his left wrist, and held a broad knife in his right hand.
He lowered his head so that no one could see his appearance or expression.
It was such an ordinary, ordinary man who was not noticeable at all in a crowd, but he actually caused a huge wave and forced the Zhou court to leave Kyoto.
"I'll give you three days to leave Kyoto."
Gu Nanxi was not discussing anything, but issuing a notice.
Fang La raised his head and wanted to bargain, but when he met Gu Nanxi's cold gaze, he quickly lowered it again.
"Yun, Duke Yun. We have 600,000 people."
Fang La said boldly.
Gu Nanxi relaxed his body and said lazily: "Well, I brought 20,000 people."
Only the weak will bluff.
When Gu Nanxi said he would bring 20,000 yuan, she meant only 20,000 yuan.
Fang La did not feel insulted. Instead, he was glad that the other side had only 20,000 people. If they had brought a few tens of thousands more, they would definitely not have given him three days.
"Duke Yun, regarding the treasure..."
Old man Geng, who had been guarding Gu Nanxi, shouted, "How dare you! Don't be greedy. Is this your treasure? This is the treasure of Kyoto. What belongs to Kyoto belongs to you, my Lord!"
Fang La understood that even though he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
After notifying Fang La, Gu Nanxi left half of the troops to guard the imperial palace, while he returned to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.
She rode faster and faster, and finally broke into a gallop.
When I pushed open the door of the marquis' mansion, it was empty, with no one inside.
Dalang is not at home.
Gu Nanxi put away her disappointment. As long as Dalang was fine, they and their son could be reunited in Kyoto.
Old Man Geng brought his personal guards to tidy up Gu Nanxi's yard.
"Sir, why should we let Fang La go?"
Old Man Geng had lived in Kyoto for so many years and had witnessed with his own eyes how the prosperous Kyoto was destroyed by the rebel army. He gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Gu Nanxi looked at the familiar lounge chair under the tree, with a soft light in her eyes.
She brushed off the dust with her sleeve and then lay down on it.
"Because we only have 20,000 people."
It is easy to capture Kyoto, but difficult to gain a foothold.
Kyoto already had hundreds of thousands of residents, and with the addition of two or three hundred thousand rebel soldiers, the population density was high and the composition was diverse, making it extremely difficult to govern.
At this stage, Gu Nanxi can rely on his prestige and 20,000 Yunzhou soldiers to suppress the rebellious army.
But as time goes on, the trouble will get bigger and bigger.
Should we deal with the rebellious troops? Where can we take on so many rebellious troops?
Do they need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate?
Should we kill them all?
On the surface, the situation in Kyoto seemed to have stabilized, but in fact, Gu Nanxi was sitting on a barrel of explosives.
If you are not careful, you can easily blow yourself away.
Gu Nanxi closed her eyes, rocked the recliner, and a familiar scent wafted into her nose.
She seemed to be back in the spring of the year when she first came here. Su Xuanming was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, reciting a book. He recited it more than ten times, but he couldn't memorize it.
Su Yunting, this bad boy, laughed at his elder brother and annoyed Su Xuanming, so the two brothers started fighting.
Su Yunyan was like a clingy cat, staying by his side and feeding him snacks from time to time.
What a lively and great day.
Gu Nanxi opened her eyes and found herself and her guards alone in the yard.
The three children were nowhere to be seen.
One is in Kyoto, not knowing whether he is dead or alive.
One was on the sea, fighting a life-and-death battle with foreigners.
One is in the Western Regions, trying to get the skin of a tiger.
And...the days of giving up are gone forever.
Gu Nanxi rubbed her face with her hands, stood up, and strode towards the door.
Just take a break, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with.
In times of chaos, severe punishments should be used.
The tone that Gu Nanxi set for his subordinates was that stability was the priority in Kyoto City!
No matter if they are rebel soldiers, hooligans, or officials and nobles who did not have time to escape, if they have any behavior that affects the stability of Kyoto, they will be admonished twice. If they still do not repent after two times, they will be sentenced on the spot!
The sentence is too severe!
At the same time, for the surrendered rebel troops, give them two choices.
One was sent to serve as a forced laborer, and the other left Kyoto with Fang La.
Any normal person would choose to follow Fang La, and this is what Gu Nanxi hopes for.
The rioters who survived were not good people. It was very troublesome to deal with them.
Besides, where could Fang La go? He could only go south.
Gu Nanxi said angrily while handling official business. Ha, if you want to mess with me, I'll kick this ball back to you!
