Chapter 147 The woman who dared to kill Duke Yong!
"Red Flame, Red Feather!"
Gu Huan was surprised and anxious when she saw the two of them.
Chi Yan and Chi Yu jumped off their horses and bowed to her.
Without waiting for them to say anything, Gu Huan rushed to Chi Yu and asked, "Why are you back? Why don't you stay with him?"
The young lady kept approaching, scaring Akabane so much that he stepped back, not knowing what to do.
Zhou Zhilan had no choice but to pull Gu Huan away: "You scared him."
Gu Huan's eyes widened: "Did I scare him?"
She is so fragile.
Gu Huan looked at Chiyu again, and sure enough, his face had turned a little pale.
Realizing that her attitude was not good just now, she quickly asked him again softly.
"Why did you come back? Why didn't you stay with him."
The young lady had a harmless expression on her face, but her eyes looked like they wanted to eat him.
Akabane: “…”
He wanted to stay, but the order did not allow it.
"I dare not disobey the orders of my lord."
"But……"
Gu Huan wanted to say more, but she didn't know how. After all, it was a military order, so who was she?
Seeing her red eyes, Akabane sighed inwardly, and carefully selected his words, saying, "Madam, the master heard that the bandits have not been cleared out, so he ordered his subordinates to bring people back to supervise the inspection department to clear them out."
Isn't this still for the safety of the young lady?
Gu Huan's tone suddenly rose: "You brought people back? Isn't there Chiyan here? Why did you have to come all the way back?"
Is this the point?
Chiyu winked at Chiyan and said, "Why don't you say something?"
The master sent Chi Yan back because he was worried that Chi Yan would be too busy to protect the young lady.
Chi Yan had a blank expression on his face. He didn't speak or look at him.
Gu Huan said angrily: "Forget it, I have no right to interfere in other people's affairs."
Zhou Zhilan and Chiyan Chiyu looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Chi Yan changed the subject and said, "Madam, the winter clothes that Pei's family had handed in were swapped out of the barracks the night they were put into storage. The places where the clothes that were swapped were hidden and the people guarding the warehouse have also been controlled. Right now, they can't pass on the news, so Crown Prince Jiang and the others don't know."
Gu Huan was overjoyed: "That's great!"
There was a noise coming from afar, and when Gu Huan and the others looked over, they saw several people stumbling and being chased by the Cavalry Army all the way from the direction of the military camp.
Gu Huan said anxiously: "Hurry up and save him!"
Chi Yan and Chi Yu jumped on their horses and rushed forward with their men.
It was the first time that Gu Huan witnessed a large group of people fighting each other, shouting, screaming, and blood splattering...
Every soldier in the Mu family's army has been trained on the battlefield. For them, dealing with the Valiant Cavalry and the Dragon Cavalry, which are composed of children from aristocratic families, is like a fierce beast fighting a wild rooster.
In less than two or three rounds, the pursuers threw away their weapons and armor and fled in all directions, but Chi Yan and his men pursued them relentlessly, capturing as many people as they could alive.
Zhou Zhilan quickly hugged her and said, "Get in the carriage, don't be scared."
Gu Huan shook her head with a pale face, forcing herself to open her eyes wide and watch.
Mu Junyan’s killing of enemies in battle must be a thousand times more brutal than this, right?
She had heard from Mu Junyan that he once charged into the enemy camp alone, against an army of thousands.
She didn't notice that her body was shaking and kept encouraging herself secretly.
As a woman who is the God of War, you must never be afraid!
When the escaped person ran towards them, Gu Huan saw the person's face clearly.
Pei Yi supported the Minister of Revenue Cao Liyu, followed by several embarrassed officials and soldiers who came with Zuo Fengtian.
Gu Huan lifted her skirt and ran over.
"My Lords, are you injured?"
"Sister Huan, don't worry, the Silver Spear Yulong Zhuzhi has already entered the military camp, and those fakes will stay."
Pei Yi's clothes were torn, his face was scratched, his hat was lost, and his forehead was broken and bleeding.
It was so embarrassing.
Gu Huan stepped forward nervously: "Brother Pei, you are injured."
"It's okay. All the adults have suffered some injuries."
"Everyone, please get in the car and go back to the Yongguo Mansion to treat your injuries."
Cao Liyu and the others were worried that Prince Jiang would become desperate and continue to chase them, so they did not hesitate and supported each other to get into the carriage and squeezed together.
The group returned to the Duke Yong's Mansion, where Physician Sun examined their wounds and applied medicine.
Zhou Chunyu arranged lunch for everyone.
Gu Huan, Chi Yan and Chi Yu walked aside and talked in a low voice.
"Chiyan, what's the matter with you just saying that you only found some winter clothes?"
Chi Yan said, "Madam, three days ago, when Chi Yu returned to the capital, he happened to meet a strange group of merchants under the banner of the Crown Prince Jiang. However, he found the mark of official goods on the packaging, so he stopped them for questioning and found out that it was this batch of winter clothes that had been replaced. They were planning to send them to the Yuan family camp in the northern border. We have detained both the people and the goods."
"The Northern Frontier Yuan Family? Are you talking about the Yuan Family of Jiang Shizi's mother?"
Gu Huan was not very clear about the court officials and various forces.
But everyone knew that the Jiang and Yuan families were the Empress Dowager's in-laws and were domineering all day long.
"Yes. The winter clothes for both armies were funded by the imperial court. If the Yuan army used the winter clothes of the Mu army, then the whereabouts of the money used to buy winter clothes for the Yuan army would be suspicious."
Gu Huan was shocked.
It actually involves such a big thing?
"No, this matter must be explained to the three adults immediately."
Cao Liyu, Zuo Toyota and Jin Guyong looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.
Zuo Toyota slammed the table and said, "How dare they be so bold!"
Cao Liyu frowned: "Tell me, have they done this kind of thing before?"
Jin Guyong slapped his thigh and said, "I remember that two years ago, a batch of one million arrows and 50,000 bows for southern Xinjiang were transported and were robbed by robbers. Most of the escorting officers and soldiers were killed or injured. Such a large number of weapons have never been found. Could it be that they were also transported to northern Xinjiang?"
Zuo Fengtian glared: "It is very likely! Send someone to the northern border to secretly check the batches and seals of the arrows and we will know."
Gu Huan’s eyes widened.
What about Mu Junyan?
With so many things missing, can the court replenish them quickly?
"No, we have to go to the palace to see the emperor right away. Hurry, hurry, hurry." Jin Guyong hurriedly picked up his robe and ran out.
Cao Liyu also stood up: "Yes, we will go into the palace immediately. We don't know if the Silver Spear Yulong Zhuzhi can grab the fake winter clothes. If they are all burned, there will be no evidence."
Zuo Toyota waved at Gu Huan who was about to follow him out.
"Madam Mu, it's no small matter that Crown Prince Jiang dared to kill an official appointed by the imperial court. You should not leave the house. It must be very chaotic outside. You may get hurt by mistake."
Zhou Chunyu rushed over: "We are surrounded outside."
Zuo Fengtian's face changed drastically: "Who dares to surround the Yongguo Mansion?"
Gu Huan was shocked: "So bold?"
Cao Liyu sneered: "It's not surprising. They dared to kill us in broad daylight. What do they have to be afraid of? They said they would arrest the suspect and then killed us. With no evidence, who can do anything to them?"
Gu Huan was completely confused: "Could it be that they dare to kill even the people from the Yongguo Mansion?"
Cao Liyu explained: "They just need to find us, take us away and kill us outside. After all, Duke Yong is not in the mansion, so they think you dare not do anything. But if you dare to stop them, they dare to do it."
Gu Huan opened her mouth in surprise.
So rampant.
Zuo Fengtian: "Who is surrounding us?"
"Judging from their clothes, they are guards in front of the palace."
The faces of the three of them were extremely ugly.
The guards in front of the palace are the highest-level guards in the palace, and even the Yongguo Mansion cannot stop them.
"Madam." Zhou Chunyu motioned for Gu Huan to come out.
He whispered, "I can take them out through the secret passage. As long as the guards in front of the palace can't find anyone, they won't dare to move. Do you think it's okay?"
Gu Huan was surprised and lowered her voice: "Secret passage?"
Zhou Chunyu nodded.
Gu Huan thought for a moment.
The secret passage of the Duke's Mansion should not be known to outsiders, but Pei Yi is a key figure, and the other three ministers were asked by Mu Junyan to find them, so they should be trustworthy.
Now their lives are in danger, and they were all implicated because of her.
The important thing is that if people are trapped in the Yongguo Mansion, not only will they be unable to be rescued, but it will also give Jiang an excuse to directly drag the Yongguo Mansion into the water.
At this point, she must win, otherwise, things might be very bad. She must not affect Mu Junyan and the old lady in southern Xinjiang.
Gu Huan made up her mind: "Okay, take them away."
"Madam." The gatekeeper rushed over: "They are banging on the door, trying to break in and search for someone."
Gu Huan's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth, "I'll go stop them, you take the people away quickly."
Zhou Chunyu was worried: "Madam! They are determined to get it. I'm afraid it will embarrass you."
"Don't be afraid. I don't believe they dare to kill the woman of Duke Yong!"
Gu Huan said no more and walked resolutely towards the front yard.
