Reminded by Chu Qingcheng, Gu Zijian and Zhou Wan'er immediately stopped what they were doing and looked over at the same time.
"Nothing, nothing. I just remembered some wonderful things."
Faced with the disdainful looks from the three women, Sun Jian felt somewhat embarrassed.
Zhou Wan'er blushed, then suddenly realized something and immediately stopped what she was doing.
"Hmph, you're definitely up to no good. I'm not helping you anymore. You can take off your armor yourself!"
After saying that, Zhou Wan'er pulled Chu Qingcheng and Gu Zijian back a few steps.
"Sister Chu, Sister Zijian, he's full of wicked ideas, let him do it himself!"
Chu Qingcheng and Gu Zijian were also a little embarrassed at this moment. "Husband, we've almost taken everything off. The wristbands and waist belt, or... why don't you take them off yourself..."
"Okay, okay."
Sun Jian shrugged helplessly.
Now that I have the Valley of Forgetfulness, after these few days are over, I'll definitely find some time to get all three women drunk, and then... hehehehe...
Just as Sun Jian finished removing all his armor, Tie Dan rushed into the front hall once again in a great hurry.
"Sir...sir, something terrible has happened! The soldiers...the soldiers are here!"
He looked very flustered, and his body even trembled slightly when he spoke.
What?
Upon hearing this, not only did Sun Jian's heart skip a beat, but the three women also became nervous.
"Tiedan, don't rush, tell me slowly what happened?"
Sun Jian's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked what had happened.
"I...I had just escorted Eunuch Su to the fork in the road when I suddenly saw a large group of soldiers rushing this way!"
"A fork in the road?"
"That fork in the road?"
Gu Zijian asked.
Tie Dan said in a panic, "It's the road to our Sun residence, at the fork in the road."
"Since it's a crossroads, how can you be so sure that group of soldiers are heading towards our Sun residence?"
Zhou Wan'er pressed for an answer.
Tie Dan stammered, "Originally... I wasn't sure if they were coming to our residence, but one of the soldiers, the leader, asked a roadside vendor where the Sun residence was..."
"After hearing the news, I rushed home. They were probably already at the door by now."
"There were too many of them, all armed and wearing armor. They were clearly not to be trifled with."
As soon as Tie Dan finished speaking, Sun Jian no longer hesitated and hurriedly ordered, "They've come with weapons, armor, and a large group of people. It seems they're not here to notify or look for someone. What's meant to be will be."
"Since they are intentionally coming to us, and with so many people, it's not a good thing."
"Tiedan, run to the backyard right now and tell Lao Jiang and Lao Cao to stop the workshop and have the brothers hide everything."
"If there's an alarm in the front yard, you all evacuate!"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After saying that, Tie Dan quickly left.
After arranging things for Tiedan, Sun Jian turned to Gu Zijian and said:
"Zi Jian, take Qingcheng and Wan'er to the backyard. If there are any alarms ahead, you two should leave quickly as well."
"And what about you, my husband?"
"Yes, my husband, what will you do if we go to the backyard?"
Gu Zijian and Chu Qingcheng inquired.
Zhou Wan'er chimed in, "I don't care, we'll go together. What if they kidnap you?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I don't know what these people are up to either. If it's really trouble, everyone should go to the backyard. In the end, no one might be able to leave."
"Husband, why don't we let Sister Wan'er and Sister Chu go first? That way, we can look out for each other if anything happens."
Gu Zijian remained somewhat stubborn, unwilling to let Sun Jian face a group of soldiers alone.
"No, Qingcheng and Wan'er are both defenseless; you must protect their safety."
"Besides, it might not even be a disaster. We shouldn't delay, let's go! Do you want to make your husband angry? Don't you listen to your husband anymore?"
Sun Jian feigned anger and deliberately raised his voice.
Just as they were talking, the sound of many soldiers' footsteps came from the front yard.
It's here!
Now even if you want to leave, you can't.
Sun Jian gave Gu Zijian a wink, signaling them to wait in the inner hall while he went out to see what was going on. Gu Zijian wanted to go with Sun Jian, but Zhou Wan'er grabbed her arm.
"Is Lord Sun at home?"
A soldier's voice came from the front yard asking a question.
Sun Jian didn't look at the three women again and strode out of the house.
It wasn't that Sun Jian and his group were being overly cautious or making a mountain out of a molehill.
In such times and in such circumstances, caution and careful positioning are the best course of action.
Moreover, the other side clearly came prepared, and Sun Jian has already offended quite a few people...
Sun Jian strode out of the hall and saw a group of people standing in the center of the courtyard.
These people all wore swords at their waists, were dressed in silver armor, and had solemn expressions.
At that moment, Sun Jian didn't panic; instead, he cursed Tie Dan, that brainless idiot, a thousand times...
These aren't officers and soldiers, they're clearly regular soldiers.
Moreover, it is not difficult to tell from their attire that they are the Left Guard Army.
In fact, he has some connection with Gu Zijian.
When the Imperial Left Guard arrived, Sun Jian felt much relieved.
Like the Golden Guards, the Left Guards were directly under the Emperor's command.
Whether it's the Second Prince, Lin Xuanfu, or even Wei Xian, the Minister of War, even if they were incredibly powerful, they couldn't possibly send five hundred guards to cause trouble for him.
"It's me!"
Sun Jian strode forward to the front yard, where he clasped his hands in a fist salute to the leading guard commander.
"I am Sun Jian."
Despite the polite formalities, the solemn expression on Sun Jian's face did not fade.
The commander of the guards was a burly man with thick eyebrows and a broad face; he was very robust.
He was even significantly taller than Sun Jian.
It's easy to tell from the way he just walked that he is also a martial artist.
The guard commander looked Sun Jian up and down, then immediately knelt on one knee and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"This humble general, Gu Hu, along with the soldiers of the Left Guard, pays his respects to Lord Sun!"
As soon as he spoke, the five hundred guards behind him, as well as the soldiers standing at the door, all knelt on one knee, clasped their hands in front of them, and shouted in unison.
"Greetings, Lord Sun!"
The sound was deafening and lingered over the Sun residence for a long time.
What's going on here?
What's going on?
Sun Jian was instantly stunned.
This feeling isn't coming to cause trouble, it's more like it's coming to worship?
It turned out to be a false alarm after all?
What are you doing here?
Sun Jian was momentarily stunned into thought.
If they weren't here to cause trouble, why would they all be wearing armor and carrying swords?
The most crucial thing is that so many people came.
Are you kidding me?
"This humble general, Gu Hu, is a cavalry captain of the Left Guard of the capital city. I have come to report for duty with 500 guards by order of His Majesty!"
The head of the guards was a commander who spoke with a strong and clear voice and treated Sun Jian with utmost respect.
Upon hearing this, I immediately understood!
