----"Where have you been for the past three years, I want to talk to you, tell me, I want to know."

Thinking she was asleep, Gu Shao heard the murmur on his chest, opened his eyes slightly, and thought for a while before he figured it out: "Over the years, I have been raising military expenses everywhere, and I got help from noble people and sold my hundred dollars at a low price. Ten horses, I tried my best to transport the horses into Dayan, buy horses and recruit soldiers. I know, I will wait until today. While waiting here, I have to be fully prepared, there is only one chance. Fuxiu..."

Covering her mouth to prevent her from continuing, she suddenly understood that maybe Qin Zheng's trip to Hongnong Prefecture this time was not as simple as it seemed, or maybe even what happened in Hongnong was not that simple, but she didn't want to go to Hongnong again. To inquire about something, therefore, I am really grateful.It's like escaping from the endless hell and returning to the world, feeling alive.And in the past three years, she can probably guess a part or two of what hardships this person has suffered and how much helplessness he has endured in his heart.For a moment, her heart was really tight and painful, and her fingers trembled slightly as she grabbed the hem of her shirt.

Gu Shao stroked her shoulder to comfort her, and neither of them spoke anymore.After being silent for a long time, Gao Huaiyi managed to regain his composure: "After the war broke out, Luo Yuanyu was sent to the southwest to guard the frontier to prevent the small states in the southwest from taking advantage of the chaos and looting. After he left, I never heard anything about the court. Xu Silian occasionally sends messages to Xing'er, but it is inconvenient after all. I know that there is a black armor army in the south of the Yangtze River, but I never dare to hope that it is you."

Building an army is difficult and difficult, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult. Seeing her looking at him all the time, Gu Shao knew that she still wanted to, so he continued: "In the past three years, I have slowly built the Heijia Army. Dinghai County in Jiangning has been battling Yunxiang pirates along the coast of Jiangning. Zeng Yue locks up Jiangning City and only cares about appeasing the big households in Jiangning City. He doesn't care about the life and death of the coastal people. Hurry up and train the sea warships to go south from Wanli Shitang to help Jiangning. There are too few people, and I don’t want to confuse people to make any big wishes for them, and I don’t use any banners, let alone allow my soldiers to do evil, and I don’t give much military expenses. , few people are willing to join. Most of the counties and townships we occupy have no surplus food. I have stipulated that they are not allowed to rob people privately. The army is short of food and grass. sad."

Gao Huaiyi touched the wound on the back of her hand, felt it against her face for a while, then called her in a hoarse voice.Gu Shao said lightly: "Someone will come later." She raised her head in shock, who will come at this time?Are you chasing soldiers?Seeing that she was as frightened as a frightened rabbit, Gu Shao clenched his palms tightly before he could speak: "When I rescued you outside the city, Wu Zhao who had sneaked into Hongnong Prefecture took the opportunity to take Xing'er away, because it was too late to leave the city. With effort, they should be able to catch up by now."

Myolie!Tears welled up in her eyes for a moment.I really never thought that Gu Shao would rescue Xing'er as well.Unable to bear it any longer, he lay in her arms and cried out loudly.

After meeting Xing'er, Gao Huaiyi finally had a smile on his face. After driving for five days, he found a village at the foot of the mountain to camp.At first, the villagers thought they were robbers, and they ran around in fright, calling for help, and it took a lot of effort to calm down.Borrowing a large yard to station, the accompanying soldiers cut firewood and carried water to go up the mountain to hunt by themselves. They distributed the prey they hunted to the villagers in exchange for rice and vegetables.After taking a hot bath, everyone set up a few big tables in the yard, and ate delicious meals, and no one was drinking on the tables.Folks who were probing their brains hid aside and talked a lot. They had never seen such soldiers, and they didn't look like people dressed in the imperial court. They were all guessing which rebel army it was.

After Wu Zai came, he arranged all the defenses. Gu Shao was eating with the two female relatives in the inner room. Seeing Xing'er had been sneaking at her, he looked at her suddenly when she looked over again: "I knew you were sneaking around. If you want to say something, just say it, your lady will support you." Myolie heard that she was right, then reached out and touched her mask, and said hey: "It's true..." Gao Huaiyi was also amused by her Myolie said, "Stupid." Xing'er didn't know why, her eyes suddenly turned red and she started to cry: "Miss, you don't know how scared I was when they took you away, so I begged my husband desperately, saying that if my husband is really dead, my soul will die." I have to rush to save you, I didn't expect to see Mr., I always thought I was dreaming..."

Xing'er took the initiative to clean up the dishes with the person in charge of washing the dishes, and then went to feed the horses, very diligent.Gu Shao walked around, and Gao Huaiyi vaguely heard him asking the soldiers if they had enough to eat, and heard her explaining that the soldiers in charge of patrol should pay attention to rest when changing defenses.Seeing that she had brought two buckets of hot water when she came back, she hurried up to meet her: "Take a rest, don't be in a hurry." Gu Shao smiled at her spiritedly, asked her to prepare for a bath, poured water into the tub, and went to lift it up again. Several buckets filled the bathtub: "I sent people to buy the clothes when I passed by the town. They were not married, and they were ashamed to buy women's clothes. All they bought were men's clothes. I feel wronged that you and Xing'er just make do with it." wear."

After Xing'er finished bathing, Gu Shao was relieved that he could take a bath.Gao Huaiyi stood by the door waiting for her, pestering her to chat with her, as long as he listened to the voice, he would feel at ease.Gu Shao glanced at the door, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Fuxiu, just now my people reported to me that the emperor had returned to Yong'an, and issued a decree to the Ministry of Rites, saying that you..." Seeing her pause, Gao Huaiyi just wanted to think about it and then continued: " He said that I died at the hands of the enemy?" Gu Shao sighed: "As far as I know, he still sent troops to rush to Lishan Pass, and even sent people to Yubo Pass. He seems to be like this forever, with both light and dark .It's just Fuxiu, your family will definitely get the news, you, do you want to go back and have a look?"

Speaking of opening the door and coming out, Gao Huaiyi put the cloak on her, tied the lace and put his arms around her neck: "How are they doing?" Gu Shao nodded: "Your brother is very upbeat, and now I'm following you Beside Zheng Liang, there was a bandit rebellion in Taikang, and he led people to repel it, and now he is fighting against the rebels together with Zheng Liang. Your mother is in good health. Because of your ambition, your family has not been bullied in the clan. "Gao Huaiyi nodded with satisfaction: "As long as they are all well, that's fine. Gu Shao, I don't know how to thank you." Zheng Liang was once the general judge of Yuanzhou, and she remembered that Gu Shao once recommended him as the governor of Jiangning. It would be like this, if it wasn't for Gu Shao, how could Zheng Liang take the risk of protecting the Gao family by his side.

Let Xing'er and Gao Huaiyi sleep together at night, while she leans against the door with a knife, and sleeps against the door for a while when she is really tired.In the middle of the night, whistles woke up the sleeping people, and the people standing high at the entrance of the village used torches to signal a flag: "The enemy has broken in!" Gu Shao and Wu Hao looked at each other and said, "It's not from the imperial court." After thinking about it for a while: "It's the bandits coming down the mountain! Quickly, notify the people in the village. Wake up everyone and prepare for war!"

After sending Gao Huaiyi and Xing'er to the gathering place of villagers' women and children, she turned around to leave, but Gao Huaiyi held her with just one look, and everything she wanted to say was in this look.Seeing the back of her getting on the horse and leaving in a hurry, Gao Huaiyi suddenly realized that he was powerless. Apart from relying on Gu Shao, he seemed useless and could do nothing to help.

The bandits didn't expect soldiers to be stationed in the village, but they didn't care about the number of people.The most difficult thing to guard against in the dark is the fear of someone breaking in. As long as someone breaks in and threatens their lives, not only the few remaining men in the village will be arrested without fighting, but they will also have to worry about it.However, the bandits knew that they were going to encounter a strong enemy, so that was their plan. Seeing that they were fighting to disperse, Gu Shao yelled: "Quick battle, no one will be left behind!"

Before dawn, the battlefield had been cleaned up, and everyone had changed into the clothes donated by the villagers. Gu Shao asked someone to keep the silver in the house, and he handed over to the villager: "Old man, thank you for staying here, I'm going to hurry." The aunt asked Lizheng to speak quickly, and he could only grumble: "Dare to ask the heroes, you saved the whole village, and we have to remember it by building a temple. It would be great if the men who were confiscated by the government can come back in the future." Remember the name of the hero who saved their wives and children." Gu Shao glanced at Gao Huaiyi in his arms, and cupped his hands again: "We don't have a banner, and we don't have to worry about it if we do it easily." After finishing speaking, he rode his horse and went.

The world has changed, wars have led to tyranny, famines have erupted and displaced people, the country of Dayan is really shaking.Helan Youjing has been entrusted by her to dissuade Emperor Dongqi from accepting as soon as he is good, and Xu Silian is still stalking the Qin government so that he can sue for peace.But both sides have their own plans, He Landeliang vowed to capture Yong'an, and Qin Zheng refused to give up from the initial desire to avenge his shame until now he wants to regain the lost ground.There are 23 prefectures in Dayan, one capital, and the five prefectures in the northeast have been captured by Dongqi. With Hongnong Prefecture as the boundary, if Hongnong Prefecture is broken, it may only be a matter of time before Yongan falls.
