"This is Gu's army." Shen Ningsi pretended that he had never met them before.
"You may not know what the words 'Gu Family Army' mean, but I know a little bit about the men in my family joining the army. I heard that the Gu Family Army is the sharpest knife on the battlefield. When the barbarians hear the words 'Gu Family Army', they know that this battle will be difficult. If we fight them, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy casualties!"
Shen Ningsi sighed and praised the might of the Gu family army.
People in the world are afraid of death and they seek refuge in Heiyun Village in order to survive, not to fight and lose their lives.
"Why would people like them come to trouble our Black Cloud Village?" The third in command frowned.
Since ancient times, bandits have never fought against officials, so the Black Cloud Village could only fight against the hungry and pale-faced officers and soldiers of Wanning Village. The Gu family army described by Shen Ningsi sounded like they were not someone they could afford to provoke.
"Boss, think carefully, have we provoked the Gu family army in the past few days?"
Gu Hong finally stretched his arms lazily, his voice deep, making sure everyone could hear him.
"I was ordered by the Emperor to deliver a thousand dan of grain for disaster relief. When I passed through Tuer Mountain, the people from Black Cloud Village robbed me of the grain. Naturally, I have to lead my troops here to get it back."
He swung the spear hard, and the sound of it breaking through the air made people's hair stand on end.
"Thousands of dan of food and fodder. There are only about a hundred people in your Black Cloud Village. I'm afraid everyone has dozens of kilograms hidden in their rooms. Have you been eating well these days?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar.
"Master, when have we ever robbed food supplies?"
"Yeah! Haven't we been starving these past few days?"
The Third In Commander vaguely sensed something was amiss. He subdued his arrogance and bowed to the leader, who was even more scoundrel-like than he, saying, "Master, is there something wrong? We would never do such a thing."
The moment he finished speaking, a token was thrown at his feet.
Gu Hong sneered, "This is the token that belonged to the leader of Black Cloud Village. I pulled it off from the person who robbed the food that day."
The third in command's face turned pale.
He fumbled for the token on his body, but felt that he had no way to defend himself.
"I said there was no robbery, so there was no robbery. You Gu family soldiers just found an excuse to attack Black Cloud Village!"
Gu Hong was about to say, "So what?", but when he looked at the woman who looked particularly fragile and vulnerable standing among a group of men, Gu Hong became more patient.
"The evidence is right here, yet you're still quibbling? According to what the people in your village said, you guys, the bosses, robbed the food and didn't even let the people have enough to eat?"
He sneered, "With a boss like this, why are you still following him? Just surrender to the authorities as soon as possible."
Shen Ningsi's face turned stern, and he cooperated with the arena to persuade, "The Gu family army defended the country, how could they lie and deceive people, not to mention that they had the token as evidence. A few leaders robbed the food and grass, and they actually wanted everyone to bear the blame! They really don't treat us as human beings!"
In fact, what the people were most dissatisfied with was that they were not given any share of the food and fodder, but were forced to be beaten together with them.
Shen Ningsi's words immediately aroused a wave of echoes.
She quickly struck while the iron was hot. "The people of Black Cloud Village killed our children and men, stole our food and refused to give us any food, and now they want us to share the blame and fight against the Gu family army! If we all give up fighting now, the Gu family army will definitely not treat us unfairly."
Shen Ningsi turned around and shouted, "Those who are in Black Cloud Village but have not done anything harmful to the world, please stand to the right! Clear the way for the Gu family army!"
She glanced at the faces of the people behind her, and seeing that something was going to happen, she quickly continued, "This is the Gu family army! They are meritorious officials who defended their country. Every one of them is a man of integrity and absolutely reliable."
Gu Hong saw Gu Jiajun straighten his backs out of the corner of his eye and laughed out of anger.
This woman couldn't remember what her man looked like, but her words became much sweeter than before.
"You'd better figure out who represents the image of the Gu family army." He looked back coldly.
“…”
Well, the lady was just praising you for being a real man, and it has nothing to do with them, ordinary soldiers.
"The Gu family army knows that everyone was forced to join the Black Cloud Village for a living. They were too busy helping everyone escape, so how could they hurt you?"
Shen Ningsi didn't know what the black cavalrymen were talking about. She looked at the leading man with a faint smile, "Military Master, is that right?"
Gu Hong raised his eyebrows, "You're smart. You know I'm the one who makes the decision."
He whistled, "Since the Gu family has spoken, I can make a promise to you."
"Return the food and the people you stole, and I will give you a piece of land in the village below Black Cloud Village. Now that the relief food from the imperial court has arrived, you will naturally have a way to survive."
The people who were snatched away were naturally Shen Ningsi's family. Gu Hong asked them to send Shen Ningsi back respectfully.
The Black Cloud Village was in an uproar instantly, and some people dropped their weapons and ran to the right.
The Third Master's expression suddenly changed. "Think carefully, this guy may say something nice, but whether he can do it or not is still an unknown question!"
The moving crowd stopped instantly.
"They even want to take Shen Ningsi away, so you know what kind of people they are. You all know what I feel towards Shen Ningsi. She is my wife-to-be, and they still want to take her away. With this kind of behavior, do you still expect them to give you disaster relief food?"
"A wife who hasn't been married yet?" Gu Hong curled his lips slightly, "He's really bold."
But those who are familiar with Gu Shacai know that when this man's face turns cold, he is really ready to start a killing spree.
"Master, let Sanyazi go." Sanyazi called softly.
"It's not your turn to protect my woman."
Gu Hong tapped his feet lightly, and the hidden weapon in his sleeve was as fast as lightning.
Shen Ningsi only felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and the third in command had already begun to waile, covering his arm.
Gu Hong landed steadily on the ground, his face cold, like a Shura seeking death.
He said impatiently, "I don't have time to waste with you. Where are the other two bosses?"
After dealing with these leaders, he didn't believe that the rest of the minions would have the courage to challenge him.
Ana Shen was slightly stunned and pointed out the two people standing in the corner.
I saw a man in black clothes rushing towards the target at an extremely fast speed, and immediately two screams resounded through the sky.
Shen Ningsi had never seen such a scene before. She felt her heart tremble when she saw Gu Hongyang standing surrounded by enemies with a sneer on his face without changing his expression.
Across from countless people, Shen Ningsi suddenly met Gu Hong's eyes.
"How long will it take?" Gu Hong said with a smile, "You don't understand. I don't mind beating you up first."
Shen Ningsi didn't think he was lying. This man didn't look like a patient person.
Shen Ningsi bowed without hesitation, "Please give me another quarter of an hour, General. The Third Master is spreading rumors and misleading people. We must all think carefully about it."
Gu Hong laughed in anger, "If you can remember my face, I'll give it to you for a whole day and a whole night, not just a quarter of an hour."
