Chapter 60: heart of the sky

Gu Yuqi obviously didn't expect him to be such a strong man. She hurriedly retracted the long sword, but still poked him in the chest, but Gu Yuqi moved fast enough, so the wound was not very deep.

The man looked at Gu Yuqi angrily. "You little lady, do you want to talk without words?" he roared angrily.

"I'll say what I say." Gu Yuqi took out a white silk handkerchief with a smile and wiped the long sword, then put it in the scabbard, "Since you have already lost, your life is naturally up to me. I When will you die. You can die!"

The man was stunned at first, then glared, "If you want to damage me and humiliate me, neither should I! It's better to die clean!"

Gu Yuqi couldn't help but burst into a smile, "Why should I humiliate you? You've been ugly all your life, and you have a bad temper! Come on, you're hungry too, Daimei, don't we have some food left, take it out? feed them."

Then Dai Mei jumped out of the hidden carriage and bowed to Gu Yuqi with a smile, "Yes, young lady."

What kind of medicine was sold in Gu Yuqi's gourd, let alone those bandits, even Liang Huaiyu could not guess. She looked at Gu Yuqi a little nervously. Intuitively, she felt that she should trust her daughter, but as a mother's instinct, she couldn't stop worrying, after all, these people were bandits. Seeing the daughter's intention is to win over them? Liang Huaiyu didn't want to understand what it meant to win over these people.

"Little lady! What the **** are you doing!" The man was obviously confused by Gu Yuqi's actions. He was fighting for life and death just now, why did he suddenly start treating guests to dinner? What's going on here? !

"Naturally, it will give you a way to live." Gu Yuqi blinked and smiled. Pool girl clips.

"You want to let us go?" the man asked in surprise.

When he was talking to Gu Yuqi, Dai Mei had already taken out the bowls and chopsticks, and she felt a little reluctant. These bowls and chopsticks were carefully selected by her in the town, although they were not as expensive as Hou's mansion. But it's already the best in the town. All the way, she has carefully wrapped these chinaware, for fear that it will be damaged, and now she has to take it out for these gangsters, she is really reluctant.

But since Gu Yuqi ordered it, then use it. The big deal is to buy a better set when you arrive in Jiangxia. I heard that Jiangxia City is a very lively and prosperous place, where there should be a lot of good things to sell.

"Let you go, it's not too cheap for you!" Gu Yuqi snorted softly, "How can I put a lot of effort into catching you."

When she said this, all the bandits looked sideways and despised them. Come on, you just picked some flowers here and had a good meal. They were stupid and didn't know the level of the idea. Come in.

Thinking of this, these bandits are not only a little discouraged, they have been robbing here for a few years, and they are forced to live, but they can stay here for so long without being annihilated by the officers and soldiers of the Jiangbei Camp. They are in the green forest. Also has a small name. Who knew that the boat would capsize in the gutter today and be cooked in a pot by a little lady who looked delicate! It's really an 80-year-old woman who is a child, and she will have no face to meet in the future.

But the food that the beautiful girl with the eyebrows brought was really delicious. Although it was leftovers, these people are suffering here. It is an extravagant hope to eat a whole meal, and they have already been arrested. You can still eat such a delicious meal, really... and seeing how beautiful the young lady is, and even the maids are as good as each other. The maid who brought the meal was actually prettier than the most beautiful girl in their village. . really... tsk...

These bandits are very busy, eating the food brought by Dai Mei in big mouthfuls, their eyes are also very busy, they are busy looking at Gu Yuqi and the others, you say that this big family is very particular, and even the maids they bring out will compete with each other. beautiful.

Dai Mei held up a bowl of food and handed it to the bandit boss. The man turned his head, "What do you mean!" The food was really delicious. He knew that his brothers had already started to feast, and he was also hungry, but he was very strong! Although he wanted to stop loudly and tell his brothers not to eat the meals given by these women, but seeing his brothers hungry one by one, he was ashamed and uncomfortable. If it wasn't for his uselessness, these Brothers have been following themselves for all these years, how can they not have enough to eat? It is said that they are also robbers, but they can count the food they have eaten in the past few years with their fingers.

"You eat first, let's talk slowly after eating." Gu Yuqi was questioned by the man several times, but she was not angry, just looked at him with a smile.

The man was stunned, "Eat all you want! Even if you go to jail and behead your head, you still want to eat a meal. I'm dead. Eighteen years later, I'm still a good man." He glared at Gu Yuqi angrily and raised his eyebrows. Taking the bowl in his hand, he grabbed the chopsticks and pulled it towards his mouth.

Dai Mei frowned as she looked at it. Are the meals she made supposed to be used? But... forget it. Dai Mei was also hungry when she was a child, and she knew what it was like to be hungry. If she hadn't met the young lady, her fate would not have been known.

She kindly went to pour water for these people to prevent them from choking.

Zhao Wu and the other guards surrounded the bandits, watching them gobble up their food, they shook their heads one after another, it is enough to be the bandits as they are! Looking at their men, although they are five big and three thick, it is a bit scary, but Zhao Wu looked carefully, they have thick calluses on their shoulders and fingers, they should be from farmers, because they have to cultivate the land and carry the burden, so they are so talented. Cocoons will be found in these locations.

When they fought just now, these people only knew some superficial kung fu, and they were taught by one person. Zhao Wu, who was a teacher, could see it at a glance. Because their fists and swordsmanship are completely the same routine.

Zhao Wu shook his head involuntarily and asked, "Where are you farmers?"

The bandits who were burying their heads in the rice raised their heads and looked at Zhao Wu suspiciously, "We are robbers!" Someone shouted, and after he shouted, the others burst into laughter, and then echoed, "Yes, yes, We are from the street!"

"Stay stubborn!" Zhao Wu glanced at them with contempt, but the one who robbed Dao'er was robbed, and they really had enough fun! "Honestly speaking, our little lady will not do anything to you. If you are not honest, we will send you all to Jiangbei Camp! You have never seen the methods of those people. Good people will lose their skin when they go in! "Zhao Wu threatened.

These bandits have long heard that the officers and soldiers of the Jiangbei Camp are powerful, otherwise the bandits in the vicinity would not have been killed by them. Their identities were guessed by Zhao Wu, and they have never seen anything. The peasant from the big world was frightened by Zhao Wu's two sentences, and he couldn't help but feel a little drum in his heart. Even the few people who were laughing felt a little embarrassed, put away their smiles, and began to keep their heads down and continue cooking.

There are still a few people left, you look at me, I look at you, although they are just around the corner, but no one is willing to speak, and they all turn their attention to their boss.

The boss also listened to Zhao Wu's words, and his heart was full of grief. He pretended not to know that his brothers were watching him, and he took two bites of rice. After a while, the big bowl of rice was all He was dragged into his stomach.

Gu Yuqi is not in a hurry. What Zhao Wuneng discovered, she discovered just now. In fact, when the bandits were captured and shouted for their boss to run away, she had already thought about it in her heart, otherwise she would not have been there. These people spend so much time with them.

Although their clothes are dirty, they have patches on the broken places. The stitches of those patches are very fine, and they are definitely not the handwriting of these big men. The directions of the stitches are different. Individuals, because the same person uses needles unconsciously according to their own habits.

They have family nearby.

The officers and soldiers of the Jiangbei Camp are very fierce. If there are people they care about nearby, they should stay away from the Jiangbei Camp and go to other places to fight and rob. It is not difficult to guess from the words they shouted that they have an old mother in the nearby village. Therefore, Gu Yuqi presumed that they were not vicious bandits at all, but villagers in the nearby village who could not survive and were forced into "Liangshan" to become bandits.

They took advantage of the natural dangers here to rob, but this place is remote and there are few caravans passing by, so they are so embarrassed.

"Where's your field?" Gu Yuqi asked abruptly after waiting for the leading man to finish eating.

The man was drinking from a water glass, and he couldn't help but choked on hearing this. He raised his eyes and gave Gu Yuqi a deep look, "What's the use of talking to you! You're not an official, so how can you manage so many things." After speaking, he smiled contemptuously, "Even if you are an official My lord, how can you care about the lives of us people!"

His words confirmed Gu Yuqi's conjecture, and they were indeed the villagers nearby.

"Where is your village, can you take us to see it?" Gu Yuqi asked again.

"What do you want to do?" The man suddenly became alert, and he was suddenly very regretful. What he said just now was an indirect acknowledgement of their identities!

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't go to your village." Gu Yuqi gave way to the side and let out a passage, "Now I'll give you a choice, I'll give each of you ten taels of silver, and you can take them home and give them to you. Your relatives, these 12 taels of silver are enough for them to use them for three years, and it is considered as your money for selling yourself in these three years. I will wait for you here for an hour. After an hour, those who are willing to follow me will go to the end of the canyon. Look for me, those who don't want to go with me can stay at home. Don't worry, I won't force you to come. Ten taels of silver is enough for you to do a little business. I'll just wait for you for an hour. I will leave. If you want to follow me, try to rush over within an hour. I don’t ask for anything else. You must be absolutely loyal during the three years. Once the three years are up, you are willing to follow me and continue to work. , I welcome it. If you don't want to continue working, you want to go home and I will pay for your travel expenses! During the three years, the salary will be one or two silvers per year. After the three years are completed, the wages will be fifty-two silvers a year. Don't blame me for being ruthless if any of you have other hearts! Think for yourself. Now you can go!"

As soon as Gu Yuqi finished speaking, those people suddenly stared at Gu Yuqi with wide eyes, as if they were looking at a monster.

Is this little girl okay?

They are all robbers. Although the wild goose has been pecked in the eyes, they are still bandits! This little girl has the ability to catch them, but without punishing them, she has to let them go home, and each of them will be given 10 taels of silver! He also promised them favorable conditions. After three years, the salary will be fifty taels of silver a year. Even the shopkeepers of those shops in Jiangxia City do not have such high wages! Could it be that this little girl is crazy? They heard it right! Several of them were already digging their ears with their fingers, wanting to listen more carefully, "That little... miss! What you said just now is true!" A daring bandit hurriedly stretched his head and asked.

He didn't know what to call the beautiful girl in front of him, but when he heard her servants call her little lady, he also used this title.

"Of course it's true." Gu Yuqi smiled, "Run Ying, bring the silver. Give it to them, 12 and 1. Those who have received the silver can go back to see their family. If you are willing to come with me, I will Waiting for you on the opposite side of the valley, remember, an hour's time will not expire."

Runying also thought that her young lady had gone crazy, but she thought about it, her own young lady has not done any loss-making business yet! Thinking of this, even a financial fan like her went to bring a small bag of silver.

They don't have much cash on them, only two hundred taels, and it really hurts to send them out.

Qiuyue helped Runying stand on the side of the road holding the silver, and the little six limped over and tentatively stretched out her dark claws towards Runying. A piece of silver ingot of 10 taels came out, Xiao Liuzi was overjoyed, and reached out and grabbed a corner of the silver. Runying was still reluctant to give up the silver and refused to let go. The two were actually deadlocked on one side.

"Runying!" Gu Yuqi looked at Runying who was gnashing her teeth in tears and couldn't help calling her.

Runying raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yuqi pitifully, but she let out a long sigh and let go.

Xiao Liuzi took the silver in his hand, hurriedly bit it with his teeth, and then looked at Gu Yuqi ecstatically, "You really gave it to me?" He asked in disbelief, for fear that he would walk away with the silver. I don't know where another arrow will fly and shoot him to death!

Gu Yuqi threw him a bottle of medicine and said with a smile, "This is a very good golden medicine. You use it on a wound, I'm sorry to hurt you! The silver is for you, just take it."

Xiao Liuzi took the medicine bottle and was still in a dream. He was stunned for a moment before limping towards the depths of the valley with the silver and the bottle.

With the first of Xiaoliuzi, the others woke up like a dream, and threw away the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, stood up, and was about to pounce on Runying, scared Runying took a few steps back, but Zhao Wu shot. , and then knocked down the few people who were reaching out to grab them in front of him. He shouted, "What's the hurry, the little lady said that everyone has it, so there must be one! Line up! Go ahead and grab it, be careful I'm welcome!"

Under Zhao Wu's forceful suppression, those bandits suffered a little, and immediately lined up in front of Runying obediently, and Runying handed them money one by one in pain, until they were all gone, and there was only one left. The next boss, Gu Yuqi asked with a smile, "Why don't you get it?"

The man shook his head, "I have no family anymore!"

"Then take it as well." Gu Yuqi walked over, took an ingot from Runying's hand, and handed it to the man, "Take it, go home once. You are the same, if you want to follow me, go across the valley. Come to me!" After she finished speaking, she put the silver into the man's hand, and then said to the others, "All pack up, let's pass this valley now."

A few maids used to help Dai Mei put away the bowls and chopsticks. According to Dai Mei's intention, she threw the bowls and chopsticks away, but she thought about it, she should keep it. They all saw Gu Yuqi's shot today. The young lady is so prosperous, and the eldest miss is also letting her fool around. If these maids don't know how to be frugal, they are afraid that they will eat the northwest wind before they arrive in Kuizhou.

Naturally, Daimei and the others don't know where Gu Yuqi's confidence came from, Runying knows, but she is as obsessed with money as she is, and she just lost a lot of money and it hurts to death. Willing to waste anything else. She also quickly washed the tableware and chopsticks with water and put them away.

Dai Mei thought, anyway, what the young lady meant was that she was going to bring that group of people, and these tableware and chopsticks would be specially used for them in the future. When she got to Jiangxia City, she would go into the city to buy another batch.

Gu Yuqi led the crowd through the canyon in a mighty manner, and when they reached the narrowest point, even Zhao Wu felt a little frightened. It's really a big loss here!

The canyon wasn't particularly long, and it only took a stick of incense to walk. Gu Yuqi reached the opposite side of the valley and asked everyone to stop, take a break, and wait for those people by the way.

Only then did Liang Huaiyu walk up to Gu Yuqi's side and asked softly, "Why did Ah Nan make such a decision just now?"

"Mother." Gu Yuqi took Liang Huaiyu's arm coquettishly, and strolled with her among the gorgeous wildflowers, with soft green grass under her feet, Gu Yuqi leaned on Liang Huaiyu's shoulders, the mother and daughter two There is peace and tranquility in my heart. "After we arrive in Kuizhou, we will definitely need some people. So my daughter thought, instead of recruiting some people who don't know the basics, it's better to keep those people around and use them."

"Do you know the bottom line about them again?" Liang Huaiyu said with a smile.

"Mother, didn't you realize that Sister Chunxing and Sister Xia He are gone?" Gu Yuqi winked playfully at Liang Huaiyu, and then smiled proudly.

"That's right! Where did the two of them go?" Liang Huaiyu then remembered that she didn't seem to have seen any trace of the two of them, she cried out, and then thought about it and laughed, "What did you send them to do? ?"

"I told them to follow those people to their village secretly." Gu Yuqi said with a smile, "Mother is so smart, she can tell!"

"You kid! Come and make fun of me!" Liang Huaiyu laughed at Gu Yuqi's teasing, "If I were smart, I should have guessed what you were going to do early in the morning!" She paused and continued to ask, "But I didn't see you just now. Talk to them, how did you tell them to see your intentions?"

"Mother, you don't know this!" Gu Yuqi raised her chest proudly and said, "Speaking of which, we are also from the door, I just gave them a few simple gestures. I was bored on the road a few days ago. I just thought that this kind of gesture should be very useful when it is inconvenient to speak, so I shared my thoughts with Sister Chunxing and Sister Xia He. The two of them thought it was feasible, so we studied it. I didn't expect it to be used here."

Chun Xing and Xia He both hid above the tree. Without Gu Yuqi's advice, they would not appear. After the boss of the bandit had left, Gu Yuqi gave them a few gestures, and they understood Gu Yuqi's meaning at a glance. , so quietly followed behind the boss.

Gu Yuqi naturally wouldn't do anything she wasn't sure about. Although she had guessed the identities of those people, she also needed to verify them before she could rest assured. That's why she let Chun Xing and Xia He follow in secret.

These two people are smart, and both martial arts and Qinggong are good, so Gu Yuqi is very at ease with them.

"You child!" Liang Huaiyu looked at her daughter in surprise and joy, and couldn't help but feel proud and proud in her heart, "Go back and teach me those gestures too!" she said.

"That's natural, not only my mother has to learn, but our guards have to learn. Sometimes there are unexpected good things." Gu Yuqi said. It was inspired by Modern Warfare films she came up with. In the last life, she put all her thoughts on Yun Ke, just thinking about how to make Yun Ke fall in love with her.

But now it is different. Gu Yuqi feels like a fish that has broken out of the fishing net and swims freely in the sea. She has gotten rid of the small circle in the capital, and her whole heart has opened up, and she is no longer limited to thinking about problems. Yun Ke's one-third of an acre of land.

She felt that she was really stupid in the previous life. She obviously had more advantageous knowledge and experience than the ancients, why did she hang her head on Yun Ke's crooked neck tree!

And now Gu Yuqi has a strange look flying between her eyebrows, and a magnificent picture is drawn in her chest. No longer confined to the capital, no longer confined to the imperial palace and Hou's mansion, the horizons have broadened, and the heart has also grown.

She said that she wanted her mother to return to the capital ten times more beautiful than before, so she must do it!

Looking at the look on her daughter's face, Liang Huaiyu felt that her choice might really be right. In Hou's mansion, her daughter was docile, but with a bit of indescribable depression, and now Gu Yuqi is clearly showing a bit of sky forbearance. Birds fly, the sea is wide with the freedom and joy of fish leaping.

May she live happily ever after, Liang Huaiyu silently prayed to this piece of blue sky from the bottom of her heart.
