Chapter 103: Bugs chirping
Chapter 103 The Insects Cry
Jingbian City, in the front hall of the governor's mansion, a group of people gathered together and were discussing something.
Wei Jue looked at Gu Chang'an, then looked out of the courtyard at the room where Ruan Lingjun was staying, and then said loudly with resentment: "You two men actually left such a weak girl like Youqing in the Cangmang River? "
"So...weak?" Li Ange repeated with a complicated expression.
If it was before, Wei Jue would be forgiven for saying that Ruan Youqing was weak. But when Zong Ming Liao An besieged them, Ruan Youqing had already exposed his skills.
So, after Wei Jue described Ruan Youqing as weak, no one could take it.
Instead, Qingbi sneered: "Old Gu, your fiancée is really interesting, she actually has the courage to stay there and replace Major General Ruan to defend our line of defense."
Gu Changan just looked at him lazily, but didn't speak.
Chang Gezi, who had been sipping tea calmly, said leisurely: "The Ruan family has always been loyal and brave. Although the young lady of the Ruan family is not a man...but from this point of view, she is not inferior to the men in his family. Little Guzi, you are very lucky. Shallow, you have to cherish others.”
Gu Changan's expression finally changed, with a hint of pride on his face: "This is natural."
Seeing that Gu Changan ignored him, Wei Jue wondered if he could let Li Ange and Xiao Deyin say a few words for him, so he moved to the two people and said:
"Princess, Miss Xiao, tell me, Mr. Ruan has returned to Jingbian, and he just brought Miss Ruan back with him. No matter how good she is, she can't beat those soldiers who have seen blood, right? Besides Now, it’s not that the vast riverside is unguarded, and a woman must be there..."
"Your Majesty's words are wrong." Xiao Deyin was sitting with Li Ange at the side, lowering his eyes and thinking about something.
Suddenly being called by name, she was taken aback for a moment, but after listening to what the other party said, her face was obviously a little unhappy:
"Why can't women stay there? General Mu is also a woman, right? But she is no worse than General Ruan, right? The son said so, but...do you think women are worse than men?"
"I... I don't mean that either... I'm just worried about Miss Ruan, among the men..."
"My fiancé isn't worried about anything, but my son thinks too much." Xiao Deyin continued to speak with a cold face.
Li Ange also pouted at this time: "Wei Jue, don't underestimate our young Qing, she is amazing!"
Wei Jue naturally felt very embarrassed when everyone refuted it. It's just that he is not good at talking, and after feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart, he can only snort coldly, shake his sleeves and leave.
Wei Jue's temperament was just like this, and everyone didn't react to the prince's departure.
But after he left, Li Ange frowned and sighed softly:
"But having said that, what Wei Jue said is not unreasonable. No matter how powerful Youqing is, she is still just a girl... Is it really safe for her to stay there by herself?"
Gu Changan slowly sat up straight, and said back to her: "I believe in her ability...but...we still need to deal with the affairs in Jingbian City as soon as possible. In this way, we can rush over to support her sooner."
"Why don't I go over now?!" Li Ange's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up and said excitedly.
It's just that before Gu Changan refused, Li Qian frowned and pulled Li Ange: "An Ge, don't mess around. You are going to cause trouble for Xiaoqing. She wants to protect you and beware of you. Nanting on the other side of the river.”
"Yes, although Youqing can stand there alone, we should not go there impulsively." Xiao Deyin nodded in agreement.
Li Ange pursed his lips listlessly, and sat down obediently.
At this time, Gu Changan looked at the lazy Qingbi, and said in a deep voice, "Ah Qing, can you do what I asked you and senior Chang Gezi to do?"
Only then did Qingbi change her lazy posture just now, and replied with a rare serious look: "Now the entire Jingbian City has been tightly blocked. The people who are sent to distribute food to the people every day have also done their best. Protection. Don’t tell me, that Yu Xie really has some skills, and the things he researched are really suitable for this time.”
"Naturally, you don't want to see who brought him here." Gu Chang'an looked quite complacent at this time.
It's like...he is the Bole who knows Maxima.
Gu Changan's response caused Qingbi and Chang Gezi to sigh.
"Master Gu, what is that Yu Xie, can he really make a cure for this plague?"
「Whether it can be done...we...can only wait.」
On the other side, Wei Jue became more and more frustrated.
Although she knew that Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan were going to get engaged.
But...he still couldn't help feeling fond of Ruan Youqing.
After all... the two are not engaged yet, aren't they?
This means...he still has a chance!
If now, he rushed to her side without hesitation, she would definitely be extremely moved!
Thinking of this, Wei Jue sneaked out of the city alone, and ran towards the Cangmang River...
…
The days begin to grow longer, and when night falls, it is already unitary time.
Ruan Youqing did not set off directly because the sky was getting dark. At this time, she had brought Wuxin and others to lie dormant in a tall weed bush by the river.
The three selected unintentionally this time are considered to be the best in the Ruan family army. And Ruan's army is stronger than ordinary soldiers, so Ruan Youqing is quite confident about this operation.
Actually, as long as these people don't hold back, and they can successfully cross the river and climb the cliff with her, she is already very satisfied.
Although these three people have ordinary faces, they are covered with tendons. This is enough to prove that they have never slackened their training.
Because Ruan Youqing didn't have any disguise in front of them, so... What's even more commendable is that after seeing Ruan Youqing, they didn't react dissatisfied because of her gender.
Later, Ruan Youqing found out that these three people were once mother's subordinates.
One is called Zhang Xian,
One named Du Yi
There is another one named... Gouzi...
The plan for this operation is that she and Wu Xin are responsible for dealing with the soldiers guarding the enemy, while Zhang Xian, Du Yi and Gou Zi are responsible for destroying the enemy's granary.
The reason why I chose to destroy it was not to take it for myself. One is because she was not fully sure of bringing all the food back to Jingbian. The terrain is steep, and she cannot take risks. The other is...according to the Nanting people's behavior, she is not at ease to bring the enemy's food back to her own people.
Because...if the food is mixed with some medicine...
They lose more than they gain.
As the night deepened, the surrounding area became quieter and quieter, only the chirping of insects and the breeze surrounded them.
This season, there have been a lot of biting mosquitoes.
Fortunately, when Ruan Youqing arrived, he had already made all preparations, and the five people were all smeared with anti-mosquito bite medicine, which saved them from the disturbing troubles.
After all, although these mosquito bites will not kill people, the itching is extremely annoying.
After a while, Ruan Youqing suddenly narrowed his eyes and said softly:
"Start to move, pay attention to protect the waterproof fire bag you are carrying. Although it is waterproof, but the river is turbulent, be careful not to fall into the water."
"yes."
After the words fell, five figures jumped into the water one by one.
The waves stirred up gradually dissipated in the night.
