Chapter 50: Wolf Pack Siege
Li Mumu was deliberately provoking Lin Siyan.
Anyone who steals someone else's husband will have his husband robbed violently.
"Brother Yuan~"
Li Yuan didn't look at her. He weighed the pros and cons. He knew clearly that the Gu family was his best choice ten years ago, and ten years later, it was still his best choice.
"Let your mother deal with it." Li Yuan said it easily.
It’s as if Lin Siyan is an object.
Li Mumu did not sympathize with her. Even though it was normal to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times, Lin Siyan should not have had the intention to harm others.
If she had no intention of harming anyone, then she would only help her mother leave the scumbag and would not punish her.
Li Mumu saw the light in Lin Siyan's eyes disappear visibly, and she probably gave up on her scumbag father.
But they have to be tied together, the scumbag and the bitch are locked together, this is the most interesting thing.
Li Yuan thought these words would soften Gu Yuru's heart, but unexpectedly, after waking up, Gu Yuru completely saw through him. She only hated herself for being blind and was moved by his courage to save her while she was riding a horse despite the danger.
Now that I think about it, I can’t say that there was no purpose.
Li Yuan did not wait for Gu Yuru to be moved, but only saw the sneer on the corner of Gu Yuru's mouth. It happened that at this time the yamen runners urged him to leave quickly.
Gu Yuru didn't even look at him, as if she was afraid that looking any longer would dirty her eyes. "Mumu, let's go."
In order to get to the next post station, we didn't get much rest at night. This section of the road is all mountainous, and wild animals often appear on weekdays.
It was already dark, but the nearest inn was still more than ten miles away. Even if they walked quickly, it would take at least an hour. It would take more time with a group of old, weak and sick people. In order to get to the inn to rest earlier, Zhang Xiang planned to take a shortcut.
Originally, Mr. Gu didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, but when Zhang Xiang led the team into a valley, there were high mountains all around. Anyone who had fought in a war knew that once they encountered such a terrain, it would be very disadvantageous.
He could ignore the safety of the Li family and the safety of the yamen runners, but he could not ignore the safety of his own family.
"Official."
Zhang Xiang glanced at him and said, "What's wrong? Go pee if you need to. Hurry up and leave."
The wind in the valley was very cold, and Zhang Xiang shrank his neck.
Gu Jian shook his head. "No, I mean, why don't we change the route and go forward..."
Zhang Xiang interrupted him harshly, "Why change? This road is the shortest. Changing the other way will take us half an hour longer."
Gu Jian looked at the barren valley with no grass growing on it, and had a bad feeling in his heart. If they were attacked by wild beasts, they would have no way to escape.
Li did not change the route. In fact, many things were different from before. She even thought that maybe she would not encounter the wolf pack.
But she believed in her grandfather's experience. Since he said that, he must have noticed something.
But unexpectedly, the Li family also started complaining.
Especially Li Rong, "I listen to you, but I still listen to the official. You can walk, but we can't. Let's get there quickly."
"That's right. I think he did it on purpose. He has no good intentions." Zhao has always been talkative and she is always present wherever she goes.
"Sir, let's go quickly and don't listen to that old guy." Li Ye said weakly.
Amidst the urging, no one accepted Mr. Gu’s words. Li Mumu also wanted to dissuade him, but they would not listen to the words of their grandfather who had been through many battles and had rich experience, let alone her, a child?
The team continued to move forward amidst the debate. Li Mumu prayed that the plot in the story would not happen, but some things could not be changed.
Especially when there was a sudden wolf howl. In the clear night, a lone wolf on the hill issued an order to the sky.
Mr. Gu suddenly became cautious, and Zhang Xiang was also a little stunned. It was too late to regret. "What...what should I do?"
"Run?"
Gu Jian said calmly, "It can't escape. This is the leader wolf, and it's calling more wolves to come."
Zhang Xiang panicked, "Then... there's more."
As they were talking, a few more wolves appeared on the hillside. The next moment, dozens of wolves were standing in groups of three or two on the small hills around the valley.
They were like food for the wolves at this moment.
Zhang Xiang panicked, and the others also became anxious. Those who had just been clamoring to leave quickly turned around and ran.
Gu Jian shouted sternly, "Don't move."
But no one listened to his words and the two yamen runners ran away.
Gu Jian frowned. How could they outrun the wolves?
"Grandpa, you...what do you say we should do?" Zhang Xiang now realized how serious the consequences of his disobedience were, but it was too late to regret.
"Don't panic."
Before he finished speaking, the screams of the two yamen runners who had just escaped resounded throughout the valley.
The wolves slowly tightened the encirclement. They wanted to kill everyone, not letting any one go.
"Open the shackles first. We are going to fight to the death."
Zhang Xiang nodded. He couldn't die anyway. "Alright! What are you guys still standing there for? Untie the old man."
Everyone in the capital knows that the Gu family is good at fighting. Old Man Gu is over sixty years old and still in good health, and his three sons are all invincible heroes on the battlefield.
"Boss, what if they run away?" A weak voice came from the yamen runner.
Li Mumu frowned. The wolves were right in front of him. Was it possible to escape?
But she was really afraid of Zhang Xiangxin.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiang was not stupid. "Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you."
"Grandpa, you faced hundreds of thousands of enemy troops without blinking an eye, so these wolves shouldn't be a problem for you, right?" Zhang Xiang asked tentatively, just to feel more confident.
Gu Jian frowned, "Not necessarily."
Leading a large army requires tactics. The soldiers he leads are not bad, but most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. There are only a few in his family who can fight, and there are not many if Li Yuan is included. The yamen runners are obviously cowards and will not be able to do anything if something really happens.
"Then...what should we do? We can't let this end here." Zhang Xiang lost his former arrogance and burst into tears.
"Hurry up and untie everyone. If we can't beat us, we have to find a way to escape." Gu Jian said.
"Oh, I'll listen to you. Hurry up, the wolves are coming."
At this moment, the wolves were not tightening the encirclement very quickly, as if they were deliberately teasing people. They enjoyed the fear of their prey.
The bailiffs were indeed frightened, their hands and feet were out of control, their hands were shaking as they searched for the key, and even after finding it, they couldn't find the right lock.
Gu Mingjing was getting impatient and said, "No need!"
The next moment, he exerted force with his hands and feet, and all the shackles and chains were broken.
"With just this little thing, you think you can trap me? Humph, if I wanted to escape, I would have escaped long ago." He said contemptuously, then pulled out the knife of the yamen runner beside him, "Dad, leave it to me."
Gu Jian nodded. Although his youngest son was unruly, he was the smartest, bravest and most skilled of his three sons. However... he was a little too flamboyant.
