Chapter 743 Uncle Duan, please be ready, it’s almost time!
The leading man quickly jumped off his horse, walked under the lantern and revealed a face that was 70% similar to Gu Yanchen, except that his brows looked a little more vicissitudes.
Gu Yanjing's eyes were bloodshot at this moment, and his chin was covered with messy stubble.
"Xiao Liu!" He jumped off the horse and grabbed Gu Yanchen's arms.
"You guys finally came out!"
Gu Yanrui, who was behind him, also hurriedly dismounted, but first he stuck his head into the carriage to look: "Is Sixth Brother's wife okay?"
"Before I came here, my parents and sisters-in-law kept talking about it, so I had to confirm it first!"
Ran Qingxuan was somewhat moved after hearing this, and quickly lifted the car curtain and responded with a smile: "Fifth brother, I'm fine, everything is fine!"
Gu Yanrui quickly glanced at Ran Qingxuan's belly, looked away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good!"
"Why are you here?" Gu Yanchen's voice was tense. The area within dozens of miles of Hulu Pass was a military restricted area, and ordinary people were not allowed to get close to it.
Gu Yanjing looked around and suddenly lowered his voice: "After leaving home, father has been restless day and night."
He pointed to the valley in the distance and said, “We originally wanted to go in, but Qi Jing’s people have been guarding it tightly, so we had no choice but to take the risk and go up Hanshan.
"A few days ago we heard thunder roaring inside the pass..."
Gu Yanjing's rough fingers trembled slightly: "The noise was so loud that the earthquake could be felt dozens of miles away..."
"It's a punishment from heaven." Gu Yanchen responded quickly, his eyes sweeping across the surrounding dead woods with a vigilant look on his face.
"It was the gods who sent down thunder and struck the Yigui people."
The two brothers exchanged glances, and Gu Yanrui suddenly chuckled: "That's right, that's right, we heard people along the way saying it..."
He was interrupted by Gu Yanjing halfway through his words.
"Xiao Liu." Gu Yanjing pulled him aside and quietly took out a blood-stained cloth from his arms.
“Look at this!”
The cloth was unfolded, revealing densely packed barbarian characters interspersed with Northern Qi official documents.
Gu Yanchen's face changed drastically after reading only two lines, because this was actually the secret report written by Ding Man before his death, which recorded in detail how Ran Qingxuan took out the "magic weapon" from his "sleeve".
Even the details of how a team of 100 people used firearms were exactly the same!
"Where did you get this, Third Brother?"
Gu Yanchen clenched the cloth tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Gu Yanjing patted the bulge on his waist and said, "Thanks to my sister-in-law for leaving this for me."
He lifted the corner of his clothes, revealing a half-gun.
"A few days ago, we went to Hanshan to explore the road, and we happened to see an eagle flying out from the direction of Huluguan..." He said this and made a shooting gesture.
"The eagle fell on the edge of the cliff, and the bamboo tube on its leg was holding this thing."
Ran Qingxuan's face turned grim when he heard this. If this secret letter got out...
She subconsciously protected her abdomen and couldn't help breathing heavily. Yuanbao immediately jumped out from a distance and looked around vigilantly.
Gu Yanchen took a deep breath, blew the fire stick close to the cloth, and the flames rose up, instantly engulfing the fatal words.
"Let's go!" He put his arm around his two brothers' shoulders.
"Let's talk about it when we get home."
The convoy set off again, with two more brothers as guards, which made the people in the carriages feel much more at ease.
It was Gu Yanchen's turn to drive the carriage. He sat in the front room and talked with Gu Yanjing on the horse.
"Qi Jing's people had spies at every intersection. We changed our clothes three times along the way before we got here."
"I'm afraid his people are still around now."
Gu Yanchen looked towards the mountain road in the distance, and saw several people dressed as woodcutters looking out.
He sneered, looked back at Huluguan which had become a black dot, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Is there really only one messenger eagle?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Yuanbao suddenly roared at the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a gray falcon flying across the sunset and heading east...
The three brothers saw it, but the gray falcon was extremely fast and it was dark, so it was not convenient for them to take action.
Ran Qingxuan poked his head out and was silent for a moment after asking.
"Anyway, Qi Jing will not let the real news reach the capital."
She was betting that Qi Jing wanted to monopolize the world, and she wanted to stop him from letting other people with ulterior motives know!
......
Inside the Beiguan Marshal's Mansion, the Marquis of Zhenbei was looking at the military newspaper and heaving a sigh of relief. He was over fifty years old and had a head full of white hair, but his hawk-like eyes were still sharp.
"My Lord!" The personal guards rushed in with excitement on their faces.
"Mr. Gu and his wife are here!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei stood up suddenly and strode out of the mansion gate.
I saw a pair of beautiful people standing outside the tent. The man was wearing a clean blue shirt, and the woman had a bulging belly but still looked heroic.
The most eye-catching thing was the jet-black leopard behind them, which was lazily swinging its tail.
"My dear nephew is back!" Marquis Zhenbei stepped forward, his eyes full of relief.
"Uncle Duan..." Gu Yanchen took a step back, bowed solemnly, and went straight to the point.
"I'm here to discuss something important."
The Marquis of Zhenbei remained expressionless, and invited the people to the secret room under the cold mountain of Beiguan.
In the secret room, when Ran Qingxuan took out the Yigui people's troop deployment map from the space, the teacup in Zhenbei Hou's hand fell to the ground with a "pop".
The sheepskin map detailedly marked the garrisons, granaries, and even...the secret passage leading to the royal court!
"This..." Zhenbei Hou's voice tightened.
"Where did you get it?"
Ran Qingxuan and her husband smiled at each other and took out another object from her arms. When she saw the words "Wen Cha" on the gilded token, the Marquis of Zhenbei took a breath of cold air.
"This is the order from the Yigui royal family to mobilize troops!"
"Uncle Duan, the Yigui were badly hurt in the battle at Hulu Pass. If we unite the Zhenbei Army and the troops at Hulu Pass and attack the royal court directly..."
Zhenbei Hou stood up suddenly, shaking the table. He stared at the winding red line on the map and suddenly laughed out loud, "Good! Good! Good!"
After saying "OK" three times, he grabbed Gu Yanchen's shoulders and said, "You are braver than your father! But..."
What made him feel embarrassed was that as a king, a general or a minister guarding a region, if he wanted to attack Huanglong directly, he had to ask for permission from the highest authority.
This way, there are more concerns from all sides. Who knows, that idiot Qi Ren might not agree...
Gu Yanchen naturally knew his concerns, and walked forward slowly, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "Uncle Duan, please get ready, it's almost time!"
After saying this, he handed a letter to Marquis Zhenbei.
After Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen left, Zhenbei Hou, who had read the letter, was shocked, with a hint of excitement and uneasiness in his eyes!
That night, a heavy rain poured down before the arrival of summer. Yuanbao pricked up his ears alertly and looked towards the north with his golden eyes.
In a humble house in Cangzhou, the county...
"Bang!"
The carved wooden door shook violently and almost hit Qi Jing's nose.
He stood stiffly outside the wing room of the villa. The brocade box in his hand fell to the ground and several oriental pearls as big as longan rolled out.
"Qu Feng!" Qi Jing squeezed out two words from between his teeth. Because it was raining, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his left leg, forcing him to hold on to the pillar.
