Chapter 93: Kuizhou City

Chapter 93: Kuizhou City

After fighting hand-to-hand, Gu Yuqi realized that these people are actually very good! This made her have to get out of her mind.

The goals of those killers are very consistent, that is, she and Liang Huaiyu, when they saw their mother and daughter come over on horseback, they both rushed over desperately.

Gu Yuqi took a look. This can't be done, two fists can't match four hands, she turned her eyes, and a plan came to her mind. "Chun Xing, Xia He, put on their arrows. Zhao Wu, lead someone to raid the middle of them." Gu Yuqi picked out a killer who rushed over. Ning Sheng shouted to Chun Xing, Xia He and Zhao Wu. When the two heard Gu Yuqi's shout, they were overjoyed and gave each other a look in the air. The two shot at the same time and shot down the two closest to them. A killer, and then both of them pulled the quiver from the killer's back.

Their arrows were fed with poison. How powerful the poison was. Both of them had seen it before, the horse bandits who were going to rob them earlier. Most were killed by such poisonous arrows, and even the slightest bruise would quickly kill a person.

Loaded with poisoned arrows, Chun Xing and Xia He aimed at the killer's back row. Now they don't ask for one arrow to kill someone, but for one arrow to brush past them, preferably to injure several. Each of Chun Xing and Xia He put three poisonous arrows directly on the bowstring. The two of them let go at the same time. Six poisonous arrows shot out in response and flew close to the ground. Chun Xing and Xia He shot at a very tricky angle. They all shot the enemy's head, throat and chest, and the two of them bent down and shot the killer's legs with each other in mind. The enemy has more people than his side, and how to quickly weaken their attack power is the first consideration at present.

Six poisonous arrows flew out against the grass. A few muffled sounds of cha cha cha slashed several people's calves. The several killers first felt pain in their legs, and then they felt itching. When they realized that they had been shot by the arrow, the poisonous blood had begun to spread to the heart.

The effect of the poison arrow was immediate, and it didn't take long for several killers to fall down.

When Chun Xing and Xia He saw that they had succeeded, they couldn't help but open the second string, but this time they didn't release the arrow so easily. The killers saw that the two women posed a great threat to them. Huge, someone has been assigned to greet the two of them.

Chun Xing and Xia He had to temporarily discard the bows and arrows in their hands. He took out his sword and fought with them. After finishing the two, they picked up bows and arrows again.

Wang Yan followed Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu, always trying to protect them. He suddenly found that fighting with Gu Yuqi was very enjoyable, because Gu Yuqi's prediction was very accurate, and the Liang family's marksmanship that she rode on a horse had already been used by her. To the extreme, and Liang Huaiyu is not like this, the two of them have practiced this set of marksmanship more than a hundred times. Make a patch on the sideways, and the two spears are intertwined in front of them to form a three-dimensional protective net, and Wang Yan only needs to be responsible for helping them deal with the killer who is attacking from the side.

Zhao Wu hadn't killed so heartily for a long time. He felt as if he had gone back to the past, back when he was still with General Liang. The evolution of marksmanship is also extremely fierce. Gu Yuqi asked him to raid the middle, he immediately took the guards to kill from the middle of the crowd, and soon cut the originally twisted killer in half from the middle.

Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi's martial arts came from a family of military generals, and they paid attention to immediately facing the enemy and killing them, and all their moves were murderous.

Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi's current advantage is that they are riding on horses, and the long spear is more restrained from those close-range weapons. An inch long is an inch stronger. Although the killers are very good, they are desperate to pounce forward. However, Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi cooperated better. It was perfect, and there were also many guards led by Zhao Wu raiding from left to right, and Chun Xing and Xia He used their bows to shoot arrows from time to time in the rear. As time passed, those killers who had an advantage gradually turned into a decline.

A young man stood far away on the top of the mountain, silently watching the battle at the end of the valley. He wore a small mask on his face, revealing only a near-perfect jaw and two cherry red lips.

The more he looked at the corners of his lips, the bigger the smile.

"Young Master, that woman is too sturdy, I'm afraid that the people we send out this time will still be wiped out." A man in gray stood beside him, his face also turned towards a gray mask, but The mask is not as delicate as the boy's face. Although his voice could not hear much fluctuation, there was still some regret and dissatisfaction.

"Ah Hui, did you see anything?" The boy smiled and asked the man in gray beside him.

"This subordinate is incompetent. I just see that the woman is not easy to deal with!" The man in gray clasped his fists and said apologetically. "But the young master can rest assured that his subordinates will definitely find a way to make this list. It will not damage our reputation."

"Haha. It doesn't matter." The young man smiled and waved his hand, "You don't care about this list."

"Young Master's meaning..." The man in gray looked at the boy in confusion.

"She is a rare general." The young man stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, looking at the battle below, he couldn't help but said to the man in gray, "Look at her command, which is very clear and effective, two archers. Detoured to the back row to make a surprise attack, the powerful cavalry in the middle roamed back and forth to disperse the opponent's formation to divide and surround them and kill them one by one, while she and Liang Huaiyu by her side supported the whole situation from the front, attracting all the attention of the opponent. On them." The boy said with a sigh, "If such a rare general can be used by me, then..."

Although the fight in front of her was only a small scale, it was truly admirable for the girl to maintain a calm mind and command her subordinates calmly even when she was suddenly raided.

The teenager stood on the mountain, and a magnificent war scene appeared in front of her repeatedly. Gu Yuqi was no longer facing fifty killers, but facing the enemy's thousands of troops, and she was no longer commanding Zhao. There were only a few people in Wu et al, but the iron cavalry he gave her, the iron horse Jin Ge, the killing voice was piercing, and between the girl's gorgeous eyebrows, the killing was only a single thought.

"Young master means..." The man in gray asked aloud with his eyes twitching.

"I'm going to set her up!" The young man was silent for a moment, and a bright smile suddenly burst into the corner of his mouth, and his lips were stained with blood. He lowered his eyes and looked at his hand quilt, there was a shallow sword mark on his fair skin, and the smile on his lips became a little thicker.

Gu Yuqi, the young man read Gu Yuqi's name silently in his heart, and a little starlight burst out in his eyes, like a vast sea of ​​stars.

If the stalemate continued, the scene began to appear one-sided. Zhao Wu and many guards interspersed back and forth in the killer's hinterland. Although there were only ten people, they stabbed the enemy's heart like a sharp knife, and then strangulated back and forth, dragging the killers. They were separated from the middle so that they could no longer be twisted together, while Chun Xing and Xia He perfectly harassed them with poisoned arrows on the back of the two wings, knocking down several poisoned killers from time to time.

Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu were facing the enemy head-on, as the boy had analyzed, attracting the attention of most of the killers, making Zhao Wu and Chun Xing's actions smoother.

The ending was already decided at the beginning of the battle.

Gu Yuqi's side killed more than 50 enemy killers with a brilliant record of zero casualties. In addition to the previous bandits, they defeated several times their number of enemies with a dozen people. Only one guard was accidentally shot in his arm. Cut a big hole out.

The many guards led by Zhao Wu were really cool. It's been a long time since they had done such a big job. The factors of the soldiers flowing in the blood began to surging again, and their faces were not exhausted, but they showed a few signs of fatigue. Point of excitement.

happy!

Zhao Wu can't wait to scream up to the sky, he never thought that protecting the young lady, he could still encounter such a smooth battle.

Zhang Lan has been nervously protecting the carriage and the people behind him. The battle ahead is clearly seen in his eyes. The more he looks at it, the more ashamed he feels in his heart. of pride.

He looked at Gu Yuqi's appearance immediately, this is the person he should serve and follow, even if she is only a woman, but her kindness and intelligence, as well as her outstanding martial arts and calm mind, ask how many men in the world can Against it?

He only hates that his skills are too poor. If he can, he can also ride his horse forward, hold a spear in his hand, and fight the enemy!

Li Da and his two subordinates were obviously speechless in shock. He knew that Gu Yuqi was sturdy, but he didn't expect to be so sturdy... Look at her proudly sitting on a horse now, with a long spear in her hand. The tip was slightly downward, the originally white spear tassel had been dyed a little red with blood, and her red dress looked particularly dazzling in the noon sun, like two flowers blooming on both sides of the Styx River, red to full. millet.

Even Wang Yan had to give Gu Yuqi a thumbs up in the bottom of his heart. He had already made the worst plan. If he lost to these killers, he would have to abandon others and escape with Gu Yuqi first. After all, the lord said that Gu Yuqi's safety is more important than anything else. Unexpectedly, under her calm and composed command, she actually won more with less, and she won, and she won a complete victory. It seems that the letters and newspapers he has to write to the prince every day must be written on several large sheets of paper today.

"Let's go quickly." Gu Yuqi told Zhao Wu to check the killers and horse bandits, and after confirming that there were no more victims, she told everyone.

These people were originally dead men. Once they met, either you died or they died, so Gu Yuqi didn't have to feel pity for them.

After the group simply packed up, they traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Kuizhou City in the afternoon of three days.

Kuizhou City is the place where the Three Kingdoms meet. To the northwest is Daliang, to the northeast is Rouran, and this half is the land of Daqi. In the city of Kuizhou, there is a guard division, which has the dual responsibility of city defense and management of city affairs. However, after so many years, the guard division pays attention to city defense, but it is not very clear about the management of affairs in the city.

The main reason is that the fish and dragons are mixed in Kuizhou City. It is too difficult to manage, and there are many people from Daliang and Rouran living together here. It really has to be taken care of every day, and the people guarding the division don't have to do anything else. They have to patrol the streets every day to prevent fights. Therefore, as long as the fight is not particularly severe, the guards of the Division will also open their eyes and close their eyes.

Even if people are killed, as long as the bitter master does not report, the guards will be lazy to take care of them.

After entering the city, Gu Yuqi first found a large-scale teahouse and sat down to rest.

Runying took out the house deed from her baggage and handed it to Gu Yuqi. Gu Yuqi asked Zhao Wu to take the house deed to collect the house. She bought the house when she was still in the Hou Mansion, and was prepared for this day.

Zhao Wu took orders and went, Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu were drinking tea while looking at the scene outside.

Gu Yuqi's heart is of course very sad, her dream for many years has finally come true, she really brought her mother here.

Liang Huaiyu also kept looking around. Compared with other large cities in Daqi, this city of Kuizhou is still desolate. Half of the city walls are made of long strips of bluestone and the upper half is made of loess... It seems Extremely desolate and poor.

Nowhere are the streets as clean and wide as the capital and the south of the Yangtze River. They are all dirt roads. People and horses pass by, and smoke and dust will rise behind them. There is very little rain here, but in the rainy season, the road will be muddy.

There are quite a few shops facing the street, but there are all kinds of tall and short ones. The houses are also dilapidated. Most of them are earthen houses rammed with mud. In some places, more than half of them have collapsed. It is simply paved with grass. From time to time there are chickens and ducks and other poultry flying and jumping on the road, and some people have pigs and sheep tied to the door. If they are close, the taste is really not good.

Look at the tables and chairs in this teahouse. They are all very simple. They are made of logs. They have not been painted with only a layer of tung oil. The cups in their hands are very huge. The glaze is rough to the touch, and this is one of the best teahouses in the city.

"Nang, it's too poor here." Liang Huaiyu said to Gu Yuqi in a low voice, "Are we really going to live here?"

"Mother, do you think this place is not good?" Gu Yuqi turned her head slightly, "But this is the handover of the Three Kingdoms. With the guards, it is still very safe." There is a delicate balance at the border of the Three Kingdoms. Even in the past few years, Rou However, when the fight against Daqi was dead and alive, there was no war here, only small-scale civil conflicts.

"It's not bad, I just feel wronged." Liang Huaiyu said with a slight sigh. In fact, it doesn't matter where she lives, but Gu Yuqi is still young, if she stays in this kind of place all the time, in the future... Forget it, Liang Huaiyu also thinks that she is thinking too much, so let's live first. Besides, the daughter strongly recommended this place, presumably because of her own considerations. After this journey, Liang Huaiyu has been lazy to ask Gu Yuqi what she wants to do.

Anyway, no matter what she does, just stay with her.

Zhao Wu looked for the address of the house deed, and after a while he turned back with a smile on his face, "The house has been found, and the eldest and the little ones will follow their duties. The house is very good."

Gu Yuqi let go of her dangling heart. She asked Runying to entrust a reliable businessman from the capital to buy a house here. She had already said all her requirements in advance. It took two years to buy this house. It cost her a lot of money, but she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, so she didn't know what to do.

But looking at Zhao Wu's face now, Gu Yuqi also thinks that most of the house is reliable.

Zhao Wu led the crowd away from the teahouse, all the way to the east, and stopped in front of a house in the southeast corner of Kuizhou City.

It was really a big mansion, bigger than Gu Yuqi imagined. The wall is made of bluestone, which is in sharp contrast with the surrounding earth walls. Although there are no glazed tiles covering the top of the wall, it is already very tall compared to the surrounding.

The gate is very wide. There are three short steps in front of the gate, all of which are stacked with stones. There are also two small stone lions at the gate. The carvings are relatively stupid, but the momentum is still there. The wooden door was thick, painted black, and had brass latches. Entering the courtyard is a shadow wall with a group of fairies carved out of stones. After bypassing the shadow wall, the front is suddenly open. It is a large courtyard with no flowers and plants. The ground is leveled with stones. This house, like the garden that Liang Huaiyu bought in Jiangxia City, has three entrances and three exits, but it can't compare to the exquisitely carved beams and painted buildings over there. Everything here is very extensive, with a strong northern atmosphere.

There are two gardens in the back. Unfortunately, there are not many flowers and plants here, and no one cleans up the gardens. Now in summer, the grass is very tall and messy. But what is commendable is that the yard is equipped with many wells. There is generally little precipitation and water shortage here. With these wells, I am not afraid. Moreover, there is a large artificial lake in the yard. The area is very large. There are nine curved bridges. On it, there are lotus leaves in the lake with sharp corners, which finally brought a bit of elegance to the yard. Come on female giants.

"You bought such a large yard?" Liang Huaiyu couldn't believe it. "The gardens in Jiangxia City are much larger than the Hou Mansion in the capital!"

"Yeah." Gu Yuqi said with a smile as she dragged her mother around to visit, "Don't look at how big this place is, but it's really cheap." The rich people here are thinking about moving south. Who wants to live here? Here, so the price of this yard is less than one-third of that in Jiangxia City.

"It's good here!" Liang Huaiyu fell in love with it just after reading it once, and couldn't stop holding Gu Yuqi's hand and said, "Nang chose well."

Not only Liang Huaiyu likes it here, but everyone else also likes it very much. With such a big yard, you can roll sideways.

There are still some furniture in the house, but they are not very useful anymore, so everyone started to act immediately, without Gu Yuqi assigning them, they automatically and consciously assigned the tasks themselves. Zhang Lan's subordinates were divided into several groups. Some of them followed Daimei to buy kitchen utensils, some followed Runying to buy furniture, and the other guards rolled up their sleeves to fetch water from the well and cleaned the whole yard.

Chun Xing took someone to clean the doors and windows. They chose the place to live and cleaned up first, and then slowly cleaned up the other places later.

Lin Xiu'er followed Gu Yuqi to the other remote places in the yard. Many houses were still locked. With Lin Xiu'er by her side, there was no need to look for keys. She used her little hairpin, and it was just one set. All the locks in this yard have been opened.

Not to mention that Gu Yuqi was busy here, but Yun Ke in the capital received a letter from Wang Yan.

He abruptly stood up from the chair, and someone was going to kill her! who? Although Wang Yan made it clear that those people did not succeed, he also explained that all those who went were the dead.

Dead man! Who did she offend?

There was also a small flying knife attached to the letter. Yun Ke picked up the flying knife and looked at it carefully. He felt as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

His thoughts moved, and he called the dark guard to come in.

When the dark guard appeared in front of him, he was slightly startled, and subconsciously put the letter away, "It's you. Du Xia."

"Yes, today is a low-level job." Du Xia had already caught a glimpse of the letter on the table. He knew that it was sent by Wang Yan, but Yun Ke did not avoid the dark guard when he read the letter. But this time... his heart wrinkled slightly, could it be that something happened to Gu Yuqi?

He could feel that Yun Ke did not shy away from him in other matters, except when it came to Gu Yuqi, he did not like him to intervene, and even Wang Yanlai's letter could not be passed to the prince through his hands.

This made him very puzzled. However, Yun Ke is the master, he is only a secret guard, and he can only do what Yun Ke wants.

He also caught a glimpse of the small flying knife on the table. It should have been sent along with the letter. Wang Yan would not return a hidden weapon for no reason. Could it be that they really encountered some killer?

Du Xia's heart was also disturbed, and she was slightly stunned for a while.

"Go down." Yun Ke waved his hand, "Call Li Meng in."

"Yes." Du Xia came back to his senses and stepped back calmly.

There must be something for the lord to call him in, but why not give him the errand directly? He could feel Yun Ke's appreciation for him, and he cherished every opportunity Yun Ke gave him, and he did his best.

The reason for not entrusting him with errands is not that he cannot do it, but that he is not allowed to do it.

Is it really about Gu Yuqi? Where did that flying knife come from?

Du Xia stood in the dark, but pricked up his ears to hear what Yun Ke asked Li Meng to do. Helpless, the prince was determined not to let him know, and he couldn't hear the slightest bit of wind.
