Chapter 132 Entering Liangcheng
Even the bandit king under Gu Feixue's feet calmed down this time.
Seeing the doubt and confusion in these people's eyes, Gu Feixue's tone became calm:
"If you are truly brave and courageous, it would be better to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy than to bully these passersby."
Gu Feixue's tone was too flat, so flat that the bandits present felt a hint of disappointment and regret.
The one called Rou Niang finally couldn't help but say:
"What about us women?"
Gu Feixue waved her hand:
"That's your business. I'm just offering a suggestion. Besides..."
Gu Feixue seemed to look at the bandits:
"Even if you were recruited, the general might not accept you."
After saying that, Gu Feixue ignored the angry glares from the bandits present, pulled out the rope again, and tied up the bandit king who didn't struggle.
"This rope is a slipknot. You can untie it in half an hour. Once you do, don't forget that your twenty or so brothers are still trapped in the pit in the west woods. As for now, I have to go collect some interest."
Clapping his hands, Gu Feixue said something and took Gu Tingchuan and the other two to search the village for treasures.
These bandits had wasted so much of her time, energy and saliva, so she naturally couldn't make a wasted trip.
So, amid the bewildered and angry looks of the bandits, Gu Feixue and three others looted all the good things in the stronghold.
Gu Tingchuan and the other two had long been numb to Gu Feixue's behavior and automatically became porters.
When Gu Feixue returned to the carriage and drove it to where the Gu family was, the bandits finally broke free from the ropes.
"Xue'er, what took you so long? And did you bring back so many things?"
Gu Feixue winked at Gu Tingchuan and said:
"Mom, we gave the bandits a lesson. They said they would stop robbing people and become good citizens. That's why we came back late."
Then he looked at the sword and the gold, silver and jewels beside him and smiled naturally:
“We picked these up from the road.”
Although Mrs. Wang Gu in the carriage and Gu Lang who was driving the carriage outside felt something was a little strange, they didn't think much about it.
There was no such thing as returning lost property in this era. After all, they were in the wilderness and had to rush to Jiangzhou. Who knew if they could meet the owner? Naturally, these things belonged to whoever picked them up.
As for Gu Tingchuan in the carriage, and Rong Qi and Rong Xing in the carriage next door, when they heard Gu Feixue's words, the expressions on their faces were very interesting.
It seems I have to keep a close eye on Xue'er from now on, Gu Tingchuan thought to himself.
The fear that his younger sister might accidentally get into the wrong profession and become a bandit made the mature Gu Tingchuan even more worried.
Five days later, the Gu family arrived at a small town outside the Jiangzhou city gate.
Perhaps it was because the Gu family never lit a bonfire in the wilderness to attract bandits again, so the journey was very smooth.
The Gu family, exhausted after a long journey, decided to rest for one night before entering the city.
Gu Feixue could also give the Gu family a new look.
After all, Jiangzhou is the last hurdle. Once this hurdle is passed, the Gu family will be relatively safer.
Not only did she change her own appearance, she also made many corresponding adjustments for several members of the Gu family.
Especially the appearance of Gu Lang and Gu Tingchuan, after the disguise, the two are very different from their original appearance.
Gu Feixue didn't have time to ask Rong Qi and the others when they parted ways with the Gu family.
Rong Qi brought Rong Xing and Gu Feixue to say goodbye that night.
"You're not going into the city?"
Gu Feixue was a little surprised. She thought Rong Qi and the others would separate from them in Jiangzhou. However, she didn't expect that they were really just escorting the Gu family here, so she planned to say goodbye.
In an instant, many things flashed through my mind.
She can be considered as Rong Qi's half-disciple. Although their relationship is not very harmonious, the other party has done his utmost to escort the Gu family this time.
Seeing Rong Qi and the other two saying goodbye and about to leave, Gu Feixue couldn't help but ask:
"Can I ask you something?"
Seeing Rong Qi stopped but didn't turn around, Gu Feixue gritted her teeth and asked:
"Is the reason you don't treat people also because of the people behind Zong Hao?"
Gu Feixue had this guess a long time ago, but she didn't have the chance to ask.
Now that the two sides probably wouldn't have a chance to meet again, Gu Feixue asked the doubts in her heart.
But I didn't expect Rong Qi's tone to be indifferent:
"Knowing too much is not good for you."
After saying that, he left Gu Feixue's sight with a secretive look on his face.
Seeing the other party's pretentious remarks, Gu Feixue couldn't help but stamp her feet.
"I know everything I should know, and I also know things I shouldn't know. Whether it's good or bad, I have to judge for myself."
After saying that, Gu Feixue returned to her room and maintained the human skin masks that the Gu family would use tomorrow with a special liquid.
The next day, when the Gu family woke up, they found that the room of the two miracle doctors was empty. Only then did they learn from Gu Feixue that the miracle doctors and their companions had left the night before.
"What a shame. I was planning to express my gratitude after entering the customs. Why didn't Xue'er stop me?"
The regret of her family made Gu Feixue a little upset: "The legs are on them, can I stop them?"
In fact, Gu Feixue did not stop them at all. On the contrary, she hoped that Rong Qi and the other man would leave as soon as possible, although she would not be able to know more information once they left.
After hearing this, everyone just sighed, then dressed neatly and set off for the city gate.
Although it was still early when the Gu family entered the city, a long line had already formed outside the city gate.
Everyone in the Gu family got out of the carriage and stood outside. Gu Lang and Wang Shi supported Old Lady Gu, who had disguised herself as an old man, while Gu Tingchuan, who had disguised himself as a dark-skinned young man of about 27 or 28, was pulling the carriage.
As for Gu Feixue, she stood next to Wang, made up to look like an ordinary-looking girl of about sixteen years old, wearing special shoes with insoles under her skirt.
Although there are five people in the family, no one can tell that they are the Gu family.
"What are you doing in Jiangzhou?"
Soon the officers and soldiers arrived at the Gu family and questioned Gu Lang, the leader, in a harsh tone.
"I came to Jiangzhou from Liangcheng to do business. This is my ultimatum."
After saying that, Gu Lang took out the fake ultimatum made by Governor Liang. The official seemed to remember something and asked in return:
"From Liangcheng?"
After saying that, he counted the number of people in the Gu family, turned around and said something to someone behind him.
Gu Feixue's heart moved when she saw this. It seemed that the people behind Zong Hao had not completely let down their guard.
Being able to plant an informant at the Jiangzhou city gate shows that the intelligence network behind Zong Hao is very powerful. Could it be the Fifth Prince, whose influence already covers Jiangzhou?
Or is it the Sixth Prince who has the support of the Prime Minister and is able to compete with Yuchi Shuo in the court?
Although the Gu family was well prepared, they were still nervous.
Gu Feixue gave everyone a look that told them to stay calm, and then she saw the officer in the dark taking out a few portraits and comparing them with the Gu family members. After a while, an officer came over with a pass.
