Chapter 227 A Person of Merit



When Su Qi arrived at the location, Gu Beiheng and the others were discussing the next arrangements. There were many people who needed to stay behind to prevent the attack from outside.

All deployments must be redone.

"Qiqi, there are many supplies in the granary and even the armory is full. We plan to send people to secretly transport the weapons to Mengjiazhuang and Hulushan." Gu Beiheng explained the current situation in a rambling manner.

He took a bowl of porridge from a clay pot warmed in a cotton ball. On the table were a few steamed buns, a dish of braised lean meat with pickled cucumbers, and a dish of large dried radish.

Su Qi took the bowl that Gu Beiheng handed to her, sat next to Beiheng and started eating.

"Xie Xiaodan, you guys can eat here." Seeing Xie Xiaodan was about to leave, Gu Beiheng asked him to sit down.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaodan came over, took a large bowl, filled it with porridge, and sat in the corner to eat.

The person following him took two buns and left.

Xie Xiaodan only dared to take a piece of dried radish, and didn't even dare to take the pickled cucumber or lean meat.

Su Qi smiled and said, "This braised lean meat with pickled cucumber is good. Would you like to try it?"

Xie Xiaodan became even more nervous, saying "OK" but the next moment he opened his mouth, a mouthful of porridge spurted out. Embarrassed, he wanted to dive into the casserole.

Gu Beiheng couldn't help but laugh, and said to Li Dapao and the others who were sitting next to him drinking tea, "Xie Xiaodan, when did you really become so timid?"

"He is afraid when he sees the lady. He said that the silver needle in the lady's hand looks scary." The tea lid and teacup in Zheng Suocuo's hand kept colliding.

"Nonsense. I, Xie Xiaodan, only respect my wife. How can I be afraid?" Xie Xiaodan bravely picked up a piece of pickled cucumber and showed it proudly to others.

This caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Su Qi also laughed.

"Beiheng. What should we do with the people here?" Su Qi thought of the blacksmiths outside. "I asked the blacksmiths, and they said they were just simple craftsmen from the surrounding area. Let's investigate thoroughly before we deal with them."

Gu Beiheng nodded and said, "I have sent a secret letter back to have someone go investigate. I also asked someone to bring Luo the blacksmith and his apprentice here. From now on, Luo the blacksmith will be responsible for forging weapons."

Gu Beiheng must use his own people.

"It would be good if Blacksmith Luo came over. One of them is Mrs. Zhang's son who died while working."

"From our house?" Gu Beiheng didn't know much about these people.

"Um."

"Zheng Suocuo, I have already written to Military Advisor Mo to ask the Northwest Army to dispatch 10,000 people here. This place will be built into our secret base, so don't go back to Hulu Mountain for the time being. Prepare the defense here for me." Gu Beiheng stared at Zheng Suocuo and Li Dapao and said.

"Li Dapao. Set up a checkpoint on Eagle's Beak Cliff and assign people to stand guard there from now on."

"Yes, sir."

Gu Beiheng calmly picked up the cup on the table and said, "Find someone to take the bodies of Prince Cheng and his followers to the Southern Li Kingdom. I've laid out clues along the way."

That Master Mu is from the Southern Li Kingdom.

They are the people around the Prince of Nanli Kingdom. Since they like to meddle in other people's affairs, let them have a headache for a while.

"Master. Why don't Ying Shi and Monkey take people there. These things are Ying Shi's strengths." Ying Yi said.

"Whatever."

Gu Beiheng turned his gaze to Su Tianze and said, "Brother, you and Mu Guang should take a group of people to transport the weapons back to Mengjiazhuang first, and then bring the Third Prince back with you."

Su Qi raised her head with a serious expression.

"Qiqi, what's wrong?"

"He has been harmed by the magic water for too long. I'm afraid it will take a long time for him to recover and he needs a strong willpower. Let the master go and see him." Su Qi hated this kind of people in his previous life.

She has met people who have quit and then relapsed.

It was a devastation and suffering for their families.

"Magic water? What is that?" Li Dapao didn't quite understand what it was.

Few people in the Northwest military camp understood it.

Su Tianze had a serious look on his face. It seemed that some of the children from the aristocratic families in the capital were also addicted to this stuff.

He usually likes fighting and doesn't like romance, so he has never actually had any contact with her.

"Beiheng, Qiqi. This has just become popular among the children of the aristocratic families in the capital." Su Tianze told them what he knew, and some people took advantage of this to infiltrate these children of the aristocratic families in the capital.

What is the purpose?

Gu Beiheng and Su Qi looked at each other silently. Is the person behind this really Prince Rongshan?

The two of them were a little confused.

There is always a layer of fog lingering, it seems that Prince Rongshan has his own partners.

Who is the boss behind this?

Su Qi lowered her voice and said, "What I hate most in my life is the magic water. Our people are not allowed to touch it, otherwise I, Su Qi, will be the first to go."

"Did you hear what the madam said?" Gu Beiheng shouted coldly.

"I heard it." It's not that Li Dapao and the others were slow to respond, but that they really didn't quite understand the meaning of the magic water.

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng stayed inside.

Su Tianze and Mu Guang led people to transport weapons to Mengjiazhuang, and Tian Yougu also led people to transport weapons back to Hulushan.

This trip is some distance to Hulu Mountain.

It is much farther than Mengjiazhuang, but fortunately there is a road connecting here and Hulushan.

Tian Yougu had one more thing to do after returning with these weapons: to deal with the people from Hulu Mountain and to re-defend the road from Hulu Mountain to here.

Until now, the people of Prince Rongshan have not noticed anything unusual here.

Gu Beiheng had already sent a letter to Shan Juchu in Mingfeng Town to bring his men to Hulu Mountain. With these defenses, plus the checkpoints and surveillance on Yingzui Cliff, there would naturally be no major problems.

Gu Beiheng ordered people to clean up a small courtyard.

He looked at Su Qi dozing off and said with a look of pity, "Qiqi, go and rest for a while."

"Mr. Gu, you didn't sleep last night either. You should go and have a rest. There are a few of us here." Zheng Suocuo walked over and said.

Gu Beiheng thought about it and felt uneasy about Su Qi sleeping here. Without the blessing of space, he always believed that Su Qi was safe only in his presence.

Although Su Qi's current kung fu can easily deal with a few soldiers.

If you meet an expert, you will be defeated.

"Okay. I'll take my wife to rest first." Gu Beiheng picked up Su Qi and carried her to the room that had been cleaned up in advance.

There were also some maids here, all of whom were locked up by Gu Beiheng and handed over to Zheng Suocuo for interrogation.

Then decide their future path based on the situation.

Su Qi didn't even open her eyes and just let Gu Beiheng hold her to rest.

It was already afternoon when I opened my eyes.

Gu Beiheng was also in the room, sitting at the table processing documents. Hearing the noise, he put down the letter in his hand and walked over.

"Qiqi, are you awake?"

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Su Qi pinched her head, still feeling dizzy.

"Let you rest for a while. You have done a great deed. There are many treasures in the box you robbed." Gu Beiheng pointed to the box next to him that he had opened and saw that most of the things were letters.

A small number of them were obviously seals and talismans.

The treasure that Su Qi thought of was obviously a little different from the treasure that Gu Beiheng was talking about.

"Is this all evidence of Prince Cheng and his men's interactions?"

Gu Beiheng chuckled. "I'm not an official of Dashun anymore, so why would I care about the evidence? Here's a diagram of their relationship network. From this book, you can tell who they are closely connected to."

"Have you finished reading it?"

Gu Beiheng looked at Su Qi seriously, "I'm afraid our hard power is not as good as theirs. But it doesn't matter. The men of my Northwest Army have always fought against ten to one."

Although Gu Beiheng said he was worried, his heart was indeed filled with boundless passion.

"Our soft power is not bad either." Su Qi became depressed again when she said this. She didn't know when this pretentious space would be able to recover.
