Gu Wei frowned tightly.
Why does Master know his own grandfather?
Isn't he a person who lives apart from the world, never contaminated by the secular world?
Gu Wei lowered his eyes and ordered the boatman to steer the boat towards Qinghe County.
I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time, so I might as well take this opportunity to go visit them.
Today, the Beijiang River is divided into three parts, and river management is in chaos, with the river being closed at any time.
Therefore, the boatman took the remote river, where the banks were mostly deep canyons and there were few houses.
But this was enough to amaze the disciples of Tingxue Tower.
They lay prone on the deck, marveling at the rapidly receding scenery.
"The waterfall plunges three thousand feet, and it looks like the Milky Way falling from the sky. So this is the waterfall!"
"I just saw a lot of monkeys standing on the edge of the cliff. The sounds they made were exactly the same as in the book, sad and desolate."
Gu Wei did not forget to examine them at this time.
"The two banks are deep and secluded, what formation can we use?"
"The valley is narrow, what kind of mechanism can be arranged?"
Every question he asked was difficult.
Gradually.
No one dared to lie on the deck.
Gu Wei was still puzzled.
Aren't they curious about the scenery outside? Why don't they continue to appreciate it?
Because the river the boatman traveled on was relatively remote, the journey that would have taken only half a month took the group a full month.
When he arrived at Mu Yaoze, a small town outside Qinghe County, it was completely different from when he was exiled.
During the exile, the town was bustling with people, various stalls were set up, and the people lived in peace and harmony, and it was very lively.
Nowadays, there is not a single ordinary person to be seen on the streets.
Soldiers were stationed everywhere, holding swords and guns, and a cold murderous aura was spreading. The once prosperous scene of the city was gone.
As soon as Gu Wei's large ship docked, it was surrounded by more than a dozen small boats.
The boat was filled with Qinghe guards who were staring at him with murderous intent.
"Who is coming?"
A Qinghe Guard shouted loudly.
Gu Wei curled his lips, slowly walked to the railing, looked down, and said, "It's me."
In Qinghewei, everyone knows Gu Wei.
In an instant, everyone put down their weapons and shouted in surprise: "It's the young master!"
Several of the Gu family generals were so excited that their eyes filled with tears, "General, you're here!"
This group of Qinghe guards surrounded Gu Wei's large ship and left.
Several generals from the Gu family climbed onto the boat and reported what had happened to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei asked: "Why is the defense so strict?"
General Gu frowned and said, "Qinghe County is close to the Dongfaction rebels. Recently, the rebels have been restless and want to attack us."
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows, "Beijiang has coveted Qinghe for a hundred years but has never succeeded. They dare to think so."
The general of the Gu family didn't say anything, but his eyes showed mockery, just like Gu Wei's.
Although Qinghe County is in Beijiang, it has always been independent.
They govern themselves and never accept officials sent by Beijiang.
He only sent some precious offerings to the court every year, and sent daughters of the Pei family to marry important officials of the court in order to dispel their doubts.
Beijiang has thought about attacking Qinghe County over the years, but has never succeeded, either openly or secretly.
There is no other reason, Qinghe County's geographical location is really too advantageous, which perfectly illustrates the meaning of the phrase "easy to defend and difficult to attack".
The rushing river, about thirty feet (about one hundred meters) wide, is enough to give people a headache.
Ordinary ships would be overturned by a slight wave on it, and only a large ship with ten masts and tall sails could sail steadily.
Any gust of wind would create waves as high as 20 to 30 feet. If someone fell into the waves, he would be completely destroyed.
Qinghewei is famous for its navy. How do we fight them?
There is also Mu Yaoze, which is full of canyons and narrow walkways.
As long as Mu Yaoze's people are moved, it will be an excellent place for an ambush.
Just standing on the canyon and shooting a few arrows would be enough to get you into trouble.
Not to mention the various mechanisms designed by Gu Wei.
Gu Wei knocked on the railing with one hand.
"How many Gu family generals are there in Qinghe now?"
"About two hundred people."
A dark light flashed in Gu Wei's eyes, "That's enough. Let's teach them a lesson some other day, so they don't come to harass the people of Qinghe every day."
After a while, we arrived at Qinghe.
The large ship could no longer move forward as the waterway of Qinghe River was very narrow and could only be reached by small boats.
Gu Wei came in a hurry. After the news was passed on, everyone in the Pei family quickly came to the main hall and looked at him, crying and laughing.
Uncle: "It's been a long time since we last met. Our little Jin has grown taller again."
Gu Wei: "Uncle, I am already a young man and I won't grow any more."
Grandma's eyes were filled with tears. "I thought you forgot about your grandmother. Where's your little wife? Why didn't she come with you?"
This sentence hit Gu Wei's sore spot. He lowered his eyes and his voice became hoarse in an instant.
"She's in trouble."
Those cousins took the disciples of Tingxue Tower out to play.
After greeting his family members one by one and finishing his meal, Gu Wei finally had the opportunity to talk to his grandfather Pei Jinan.
Pei Jinan is always serious and never smiles.
It is the same now. Even though he is extremely happy inside, he does not show it on his face and always keeps a cold and upright face.
The father and son sat opposite each other in the courtyard, sipping tea and playing chess.
Pei Jinan started talking, "How is it going on your side?"
Gu Wei groaned for a moment, "It will take at most another year to recapture the other two rebel factions."
Pei Jinan: "What's your plan?"
Gu Wei replied: "Liu Xiu is suspicious and Zhu Di is careless, so we should use a strategy of sowing discord."
Pei Jinan nodded.
"Yes, we will try to minimize the casualties among the civilians. Innocent civilians always suffer in war."
Having said so much.
