Chapter 174: Three People and Two People

"What should we do now?!"

Zhong Yu shouted in a low voice: "Wu Guang started the blood sacrifice, the sky collapsed and the earth split, the rules of the elixir water must be controlled by him. Wu Guang has always been aggressive in his military operations. He will definitely launch an attack within half an hour."

"He may be a general." Shi Jue interrupted and said, "Gu Yun told me that her father used the Danshui to set up a battle formation and used many magical tools and treasures to build a defense line. He may be able to stop Wu Guang by waiting for him to tire himself out."

Jiang Shan glanced at her and said to Zhong Yu, "Don't wait for the hard work."

"Wu Guang's army has been training on the north bank for several months. The so-called 'labor' is done by slaves."

He said: "Although Gu Lie has made thorough preparations, the army of Gu State is certainly not as elite as Wu Guang's capable and skilled soldiers and generals. In the rear, there is also the stubborn Gu army, so there is no hope for Gu State."

Jiang Shan paced back and forth for a few steps and said seriously, "Be prepared to run for your life at any time."

Gu Yun was worried about Jiang Shan's words, so she immediately called a team of elite soldiers, rode on their beasts, and headed straight for Gu Wan's mansion.

Before he arrived, he saw a strange phenomenon in the northwest sky and was shocked.

He quickly gave orders to his subordinates, ordered martial law in the royal city, and ordered the soldiers defending the city to prepare for battle.

Then he continued to rush towards Gu Wan's mansion.

Arriving at Gu Wan's residence, Gu Yun rushed in and shouted, "Where's Gu Wan?!"

One of Gu Wan's followers quickly replied, "The young master saw the sky collapse in the northwest, so he hurried to the palace to ask to see the king."

Hearing this, Gu Yun asked, "How many people did he bring?!"

The attendant replied: "Three people."

Gu Yun exhaled and said, "Gather the guards in the mansion. I want to take them all away!"

The attendants did not dare to resist and immediately gathered the only fifty remaining guards in Gu Wan's mansion. Gu Yun did not say a word and ordered them to go to the west gate camp immediately and obey the orders of the camp commander.

After walking out of Gu Wan's house, Gu Yun thought about it and said to a guard on the left, "Take a team of people and leave the city immediately to go to Danshui Camp to meet my father!"

After a pause, he said, "Tell my father that Gu Wan might have made some unusual moves, and ask him to be aware of this."

"Yes, Major General!" The guards immediately sent out more than ten people, jumped into the sky, and suddenly rushed out of the city.

"Walk!"

Seeing that the guards had already left the city, Gu Yun felt relieved. He whipped his horse and went all the way to the palace.

After jumping off the beast's back, Gu Yun walked to the palace gate and asked, "Will you enter the palace, Mr. Wan?"

The soldiers guarding the palace gate answered in unison: "A moment ago, the stubborn young master entered the palace to meet the king."

Gu Yun nodded: "Keep an eye on my beast."

Throwing the reins to the guards on both sides, Gu Yun entered the palace gate with a knife in hand. Not far away, he saw Gu Wan coming towards him.

Gu Wan looked worried with a frown on his face. He looked up at the northwest sky from time to time, as if he was worried about the future of Gu Guo.

Gu Yun went up to him and said, "Can I see the king?!"

Gu Wan stopped and asked, "You want to see father too?"

Gu Yun said: "Wu Guang has started the blood sacrifice, the sky in the northwest is collapsing, and a war is imminent. Of course I want to see the king."

Gu Wan snorted and said, "My father and the wizards were performing magic, and it was already a critical moment, but I didn't see him."

Then he said, "The matter is urgent right now. I need to discuss the defense of the royal city with you."

When Gu Yun heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

Gu Wan said expressionlessly: "Although I have different opinions with my father and uncle, things have come to this point. No matter what I think, I must stop Wu Guang's attack first."

Gu Yun rarely smiled: "Finally, you made me look at you in a new light."

He said, "Danshui Camp is guarded by my father, Wu Guang will definitely be beaten to a pulp. I am afraid he will split his troops and bypass Danshui Camp to attack the royal city. We must discuss a countermeasure."

As he spoke, he walked out of the palace and headed towards the General's Mansion which was not far away.

Arriving at the General's Mansion, Gu Yun thought of Jiang Shan's previous analysis. Although Gu Wan had "pulled back from the brink" at this time, his analysis at that time did make sense, so she ordered someone to go to the side courtyard to invite Jiang Shan.

He also said to Gu Wan: "Jiang Shan, the personal attendant of His Highness Zhong Yu, is a very wise man. I will ask someone to invite him over to see if he can offer some pertinent suggestions."

When Gu Wan heard this, he said, "How can a mere follower be so wise?"

Gu Yun said: "Don't underestimate him. He can also talk freely in front of his father."

Gu Yun did not gather his soldiers to discuss strategies; in such a world and such an environment, the words and deeds of the nobles could decide everything.

The soldiers and generals below only need to obey orders.

As for why she thought of Jiang Shan, it was because Jiang Shan left a very deep impression on her. When she first arrived at the General's Mansion, she dared to say that Gu Wan had problems in front of Gu Lie, and even angered Gu Lie.

Besides, in her eyes, although Jiang Shan was a follower, he was Zhongyu's follower. Zhongyu was the legitimate son of the Xia Dynasty and had a noble status.

As the so-called seventh-rank official in the prime minister's office, Zhongyu's close follower should not be treated as an ordinary subordinate or slave.

Gu Yun and Gu Wan discussed the defense of the royal city here. The guards she sent to invite Jiang Shan also came to the side courtyard.

"The Major General invites you!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Jiang Shan asked: "Me?"

"yes."

"What's up?"

"The young general is discussing the defense of the royal city with Master Wan, and would like to hear your advice."

Jiang Shan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Stubborn young master?"

"yes."

Jiang Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why did the stubborn young master come to the general's mansion?"

The guard said, "The young general took us to the residence of Master Wan before. We learned that Master Wan had seen the collapse of the northwest sky and went to the palace to see the king. So we went to the palace instead, and we happened to see Master Wan coming out of the palace."

Jiang Shan listened carefully and couldn't help asking, "Please tell me more details."

The guard frowned and said, "We can't keep the young general and the stubborn young master waiting for too long!"

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Let me first understand the details so that I can make suggestions to the Major General."

The guard then calmed down and told the whole story in detail.

After Jiang Shan heard this, he said, "The Wan Gongzi's personal attendant told the Major General that he brought three people into the palace?"

"yes."

Jiang Shan nodded slightly: "So, when the young general met Master Wan at the palace gate just now, how many people were there with Master Wan?"

The guard was startled, thought for a moment, and said, "Two people!"

Jiang Shan exhaled a heavy breath, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Two people, are you sure?!"

The guard said, "I have cultivated the truth and have long remembered everything I see. How could I be wrong? There are only two of us."

Jiang Shan's body tensed up, his heart pounding, and he said, "Quick, gather the strong men from the General's Mansion, the young general is in danger!"

The guard was stunned.

Jiang Shan pushed him and said, "Go!"

Then he turned to Zhong Yu and said, "Gu Wan brought three people into the palace, but only two came out. Contrary to his usual behavior, he did not surrender, but actively participated in the city defense. There must be a trick."

He said anxiously: "No one knows what kind of person is left in the palace. As the only daughter of the general, the young general is in charge of the defense of the royal city. Her status is extremely important and she must not make any mistakes!"
