"What? Thieves lurking?"
The first reaction of Xie Ling when she got the news was to think about Yong'an County Magistrate Cen Rensheng. Could it be that the old bastard Cen Rensheng was looking for trouble again?
I was busy last time and didn't bother with him.
This time he came to me?
The person who came to deliver the message was Xie Ling's confidant, a centurion promoted by her, named Cheng Shisan. Although he was young, he was very steady in his work.
So she asked directly: "Go find the informant stationed in Yong'an and ask if there are any changes to the military settlements in Yong'an?"
Cheng Shisan immediately understood what Xie Ling meant and shook his head gently, "Sir, I thought the same thing the moment I got the news, so I sent people to investigate the military camps in several nearby counties, but there were no signs of a mobilization."
After a pause, his expression became serious. "These bandits are far superior to us in terms of organization and force. I dare not act rashly. I have been investigating for more than ten days, but I still can't see how many people there are in this group, or whether they are men or women. Please forgive me for my incompetence..."
Xie Ling's expression changed instantly.
The person who could make Cheng Shisan praise and approve of such a thing must not be an ordinary person.
So who is this force?
This matter was of great importance, so Xie Ling went out to discuss it with Gu Wei.
As soon as I walked out of the door and turned the corner of the corridor, I saw Gu Wei walking towards me.
Xie Ling said: "You know? What do you think?"
Gu Wei frowned slightly: "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, the situation is not good. I have three guesses. First, the imperial court is pursuing us. Second, old friends from the martial arts world. Third..."
When he talked about the third one, Gu Wei's eyes showed excitement, and his calm expression loosened slightly, "Gu Family General!"
Xie Ling opened her eyes slightly.
She had heard Gu Wei talk about the Gu family general.
Brave and good at fighting, loyal and devoted, he is Beijiang's sharpest sword.
If the Gu family general arrived, they would no longer have to worry about being hunted down by the imperial court, and they would still have the strength to fight!
The most important thing is that the generals of the Gu family are brothers who live together with Gu Wei day and night and share life and death.
Xie Ling thought for a moment and said:
"Then send General Wu with his elite troops to inspect first?"
Gu Wei shook his head, his eyes gleaming with confidence, "No one can find the whereabouts of General Gu. The mountains and forests are covered with heavy snow, so it would be a waste of effort. And we don't know if the other party is an enemy or a friend. If we go there rashly, we might hurt them."
"What should we do then?"
Xie Ling looked a little anxious. "I'm not afraid of the enemy. I'm just afraid that it's really the Gu family's generals. With such heavy snow, they will starve and freeze. And I don't know where my aunt and uncle are."
Gu Wei pinched Xie Ling's face and said, "Stupid, have you forgotten about me? I will go there myself. If they are enemies, they will only target me. If they are old friends, they will not hurt me."
Xie Ling pondered the possibility of this problem.
Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay. Don't worry, when you are gone, I will take good care of Gu Sinan and welcome you back."
Gu Wei curled his lips.
This is what he likes most about Xie Ling.
If she were an ordinary woman, she would definitely worry about this and that and be hesitant.
But Xie Ling wouldn't, she is smart and rational.
Have a scale in your heart to weigh the pros and cons and know what is the best way.
But for some reason, a hint of bitterness arose in his heart.
A Ling...don’t you care about yourself?
Even though his martial arts skills are very high.
There was still a smile on Gu Wei's lips, but his clear eyes were slightly dazed.
After thinking about it, Gu Wei felt that he was a lunatic. His martial arts skills were so high, and it was right for Aling not to worry about him.
And wouldn't it make her feel uncomfortable if Aling was worried about her?
"Gu Wei, Gu Wei?"
Xie Ling waved her hand, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Wei came back to his senses, his eyes apologetic, "I was just thinking about how to get there, and I got distracted. Sorry."
Looking up, Gu Wei was stunned.
I saw all kinds of equipment piled up in front of me.
There were small pistols, long and cool rifles, and a sharp Tang sword with a slender and smooth blade and falling cherry blossoms engraved on the back of the blade, and even a few grenades...
So many weapons piled together inexplicably carried a cold murderous aura.
"A Ling, what is this?"
Gu Wei was a little dazed.
Xie Ling frowned, "I prepared weapons for you. This journey will be difficult, so you must be very careful and don't try to be brave. Remember that?
This is a pistol. I taught you that it is convenient to just pull the trigger with your hand. This is a rifle. The recoil is quite strong, but you should be fine.
This is a knife, I won’t go into details.
I also have a submachine gun, do you want one?
By the way, I'll give you the Emei thorn on my head too—"
Before he could finish his words, Gu Wei suddenly reached out and hugged Xie Ling tightly, holding her in his arms.
Xie Ling was a little overwhelmed. Feeling Gu Wei's strong heartbeat, she gently patted his back and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Wei placed his head on Xie Ling's shoulder, rubbed it gently, and made a slight nasal sound, "Is it not okay to rub against you?"
Xie Ling laughed.
"Are you...acting like a spoiled child?"
Gu Wei pursed his lips and hummed softly.
After a pause, he added: "I thought you didn't care about me."
Xie Ling burst out laughing.
"How is that possible? Don't think too much. I was wondering why you are so depressed."
"Yes. Aling, don't worry about me. I'll leave these weapons to you. I have one thing that's enough."
"What?"
Gu Wei's tone softened: "Your concern."
Xie Ling narrowed her eyes, a faint blush appearing on her face.
Gu Wei found that he smiled even more happily.
He thought to himself.
It's okay to be crazy, anyway, he likes to see A Ling worrying about him.
On the second day, the snow was lighter and no longer disturbed people's sight. Instead, it was like grains of salt floating in the air.
Gu Wei tucked the quilt in for Xie Ling and stood up to put on his clothes.
Xie Ling usually sleeps deeply, but she woke up early today. She opened her eyes drowsily, grabbed Gu Wei's sleeve, and pointed at the wooden box on the dresser. "The weapons are all in there, remember to take them. If they are really your old subordinates, then come back and let me know. I want to go pick up my mother and uncles in person."
Gu Wei looked at Xie Ling's confused look and was reluctant to disturb her, so he nodded gently. After choosing for a long time, he finally took out the most ordinary-looking knife from the wooden box.
The rest is left to A Ling.
Xie Ling was obviously very sleepy, but she couldn't help but prick up her ears. The sounds of Gu Wei's footsteps, the door opening, and the umbrella opening all came clearly and slowly into her ears. In the end, she tossed and turned but still couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up.
Classes have resumed at the school.
Coal plants also resumed production.
Xie Ling went to the county government office slowly.
Just when they were halfway there, a soldier came in hurriedly with a big smile on his face and an excited tone: "Sir! According to the news from the seaside, the fishing boat has returned and is now parked on the shore!"
