Chapter 1731 General Huang Arrives
Shu Yu's expression changed slightly. She quickly stopped and retreated back into the alley, looking towards the source of the sound.
"What happened?" Yuan Gui asked nervously.
Shu Yu didn't know, but she quietly peeked out, and after a while, a smile appeared on her face.
General Huang has arrived!
Shu Yu looked at the large procession, and the person leading the way and accompanying them should be Magistrate Cheng.
So, Magistrate Cheng wasn't at his private residence, and Xia Yi didn't run into him.
Beside Magistrate Cheng stood General Huang, clad in heavy armor with his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword. General Huang, his face radiating a chilling aura, merely nodded slightly at Magistrate Cheng's eloquent speech, his expression remaining largely unchanged.
Shu Yu had met this general before. When Gong Qiu was arrested, the people of the capital were in a state of panic. At that time, the Fifth Prince was in charge of handling Gong Qiu's affairs, and as his confidant, General Huang naturally provided his full assistance.
When Gong Qiu's men attempted to storm the execution ground, General Huang stood guard nearby.
Shu Yu finally understood why there were suddenly more soldiers at the city gate today; it turned out to be because of this.
General Huang's arrival at this moment is perfectly timed.
Shu Yu let out a breath and turned to Yuan Gui, saying, "That's General Huang, who's here to quell the rebellion. He's to our advantage. Let's go and deliver the food first."
After saying that, he was about to walk forward, but Yuan Gui stood still, staring straight at General Huang with a hint of wariness on his face.
Shu Yu was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Yuan Gui pointed in the direction of General Huang and said, "I saw the person who shot an arrow at me last year." Back then, he jumped off the cliff with Jiang Kuanyu, but Jiang Kuanyu was tied with vines, and there were people in the cave below to catch him.
As Yuan Gui held Jiang Kuanyu tightly, someone in the cave shot an arrow at him.
And at that moment, this person was right in front of them.
Shu Yu was startled when she heard this and hurriedly asked, "Which one? The soldiers around Magistrate Cheng?"
"No, no, it's the person who leads the general's horse."
Shu Yu suddenly turned around and looked at the group of people again.
The man leading the horse was right behind General Huang, also dressed in simple armor. He was clearly one of General Huang's men.
The person who met Jiang Kuanyu was naturally from the black market.
Unexpectedly, this person was right next to General Huang at that moment.
Shu Yu pursed her lips tightly. This was not good. With an inside man, General Huang was likely to suffer a loss.
"Lord Lu, since General Huang has come to quell the rebellion, isn't it very dangerous that he has people from the black market with him?"
“Yes,” Shu Yu said solemnly, “so we need to think of a way to remind him.”
How do I give a reminder?
Looking at Magistrate Cheng's obedient manner and the people accompanying General Huang, Shu Yu guessed that it would be difficult for him to have any opportunity to interact with others alone.
She pondered for a moment, then looked away. "Let's go find some help."
After saying that, she quickened her pace, and Yuan Gui hurried to catch up.
He didn't know where Shu Yu was going or who she was looking for as a helper until the two of them stopped in the alley behind the private residence of Magistrate Cheng.
All the nearby doors were closed. As Yuan Gui was on guard, he heard faint footsteps behind him.
"Lu Xiangjun".
Shu Yu turned around and saw Lu Wu. She handed him the basket and asked, "Where's Xia Yi?"
