The merchants in the capital were opened their eyes.

It has long been heard that the general and his wife are at odds, and his wife has never left the mansion since she got married. It is said that the general hates his wife and imprisoned her.If it weren't for Gu Yanqi who was also the son of the current Tai Tuo, and his father was among the three princes, there would have been rumors of the general killing his husband in the streets and alleys of the capital.

In the past, these gossips were nothing more than gossip for merchants. The most important thing was what goods they could sell to the General’s Mansion and what money they could earn. Who would have thought that they would see such a big event today.

The merchants whispered, watching the servants move the bench boards, the usually highly respected Steward Chen obediently lay down on it, and looked at the male lady sitting on the porch watching leisurely, thinking about it.

It seems that the rumors are true, this lady is indeed not favored, such a noble status was imprisoned in this small courtyard.

But it is also extraordinary.

A few words and a few words forced Chen Steward, who was uncompromising in the mansion, to submit obediently, and he was also accused of deceiving the general.

Gee tut.

The General's Mansion can't hold back this lady.

When the merchants were observing Gu Yanqi, Gu Yanqi was also watching them.

Borrowing the power of the merchants today, Steward Chen has no choice but to give in. All affairs in the mansion, at least today, are in his hands.

After Mao's time, the hundred big boards were finally finished, the boy gritted his teeth, and came to report with the grievance in his heart.

Gu Yanqi said: "Prepare the horse and go."

The servant looked at him resentfully, bowed and left while suppressing his anger.

Gu Yanqi looked at the group of merchants again and said, "Yan Qi disciplined the servants in the mansion, which made everyone laugh. Please rest for a while, and wait for Yan Qi to deal with the family affairs before coming to entertain you."

The merchants had nothing to do, so they left the small courtyard under the guidance of the servants. Gu Yanqi's eyes fell on Chen Steward: "Where is the general's study?"

Steward Chen was speechless, another servant stood up beside him and said, "I'll take you there."

Gu Yanqi has nothing to do.

He Zhengqi held a lot of power and came from a family. The General's Mansion was extremely gorgeous. Gu Yanqi admired the beauty of the mansion before stopping in front of the study.

"Wait." He stopped the servant's movement, stepped forward and walked through the door of the study first, "Just wait outside."

The servant looked hesitant and didn't dare to speak, so he just kept silent and watched Gu Yanqi close the door, trying to see what happened from the window, but the other side closed the window again.

As soon as the doors and windows were closed, the room became dark, but the sun was shining, so it was not impossible to see clearly.

Gu Yanqi searched the desk for a while, and soon found something.

A great general's seal carved from fine white jade.

He caressed that seal, with a smile on the corner of his eyes.

Like this kind of seal that can prove the identity of the holder, most of them will be carried by the owner. It is also a surprise that this general's seal will stay in the mansion.

He originally wanted to find Fang's private seal, but now it's much more convenient.

Gu Yanqi immediately arranged the paper and ink, wrote two articles in a fluent brush, and then stamped the seal of the great general on it, and when the ink dried up, he wrapped it in a cowhide cover.

With these two things, the following things will be much easier.

Just as he was about to leave, the long sleeves suddenly caught something and hit the carpet with a "ding".

Gu Yanqi saw the appearance of the thing clearly, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly hid it and the letter separately on his body, and then walked out of the study.

"Ask someone to give my dowry to those merchants to exchange for bank notes. It doesn't matter if the price is lower."

He ordered it as a matter of course.

The servant Nuonuo agreed and quickly went to do it, and after a while, he got a large bunch of bank notes in exchange.

As soon as Gu Yanqi put it close to her body, she saw the boy from before walking in.

"Ma'am, the horse is ready."

"Take me there."

For some unknown reason, when Gu Yanqi walked out of the mansion, he saw that the road in front of the gate was jammed with more than a dozen tall horses, and the people who attracted onlookers almost blocked the road.

Gu Yanqi's eyes lingered on the horse for a moment, then fell back on the boy again.

The young man said angrily: "I have prepared all the horses in the whole house, as many horses as you want will be enough!"

The servant who followed him was trembling as if his eyelids were cramping.

This young master, usually domineering in the mansion, no one will care about you in the face of the prince and the general, but the situation is obviously different now.

Butler Chen was beaten to death in public!

"So good."

Gu Yanqi said.

"You don't need to pack a change of clothes, now choose a horse and go with me."

He was going to the north to rescue the defeated Qing army, so it stands to reason that he needed soldiers and horses.But for this operation, he had to conceal his identity. People from the General's Mansion would only bring trouble, and it would be hard to trust him if he went outside to buy people again.

Not to mention, the battlefield and the private nursing home are completely different concepts. Even if he really took the nursing home of the General's Mansion away, it would be of no use.

But it doesn't work without people.

She is the wife of the great general. Although there is only one word difference between the great general and the general, they are two officials of completely different ranks.There were dozens of generals in the entire Daqing Dynasty, but there was only one great general, which is evident.

Such an important minister is fighting against the barbarians in the north, the court will not let his family members go easily.

Gu Yanqi's going out of the city alone would arouse the vigilance of the court, but if he brought a servant and pretended to go out for an outing, it would be different.

These are two completely different concepts.

After all, no one would have thought that the wife of the general, who was suffering from heart disease, would run to the north in a flash of her brain.

There was a dazed look on the boy's face. He looked at the servant, wanting to see if the person who had been with Gu Yanqi knew what was going on, but found that the other person's face was exactly the same as his own.

Gu Yanqi chose a tall snow-white horse and rode on it, and said coldly, "What? Didn't you worry about my heart disease before? Don't you worry now?"

"Why should I be with you..."

The servant was afraid that something might happen, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to the boy: "Master Wen Zhuo, you are now Madam's personal attendant, if something happens to Madam, you can't tell the general!"

The boy thought about it for a second, and said gloomily, "Yes!"

Gu Yanqi had already rode forward, and the people watching saw that he was extraordinarily noble, and that he had come out of the General's Mansion, so they hurried out of the way.

The boy casually mounted a bay red horse and followed.

Just this time, he became more and more confused.

The two passed through the city gate smoothly, left the capital, and walked two or three miles forward.

Seeing that the sun was setting to the west, but Gu Yanqi had no intention of turning back, the servant was anxious.

"Ma'am, it's getting dark, we should go back."

Gu Yanqi walked on by himself.

"Ma'am! If we don't go back, I'm afraid we will sleep in the wild!" There was a bit of threat in the words.

Gu Yanqi still ignored him.

"Ma'am! There is no law in Daqing that stipulates that the wife of a general can leave the capital without permission!"

Gu Yanqi still didn't answer.

After being ignored a few times, the boy couldn't hold back his temper. He rode forward and grabbed Gu Yanqi's horse rope, saying unceremoniously.

"Hey! Did you hear me..."

Before he could exert any force, Gu Yanqi fell straight off the horse!

The servant subconsciously pulled the rope to stop the two horses, and hurriedly went to check on Gu Yanqi's situation.

Seeing that his lips were purple, his teeth were tightly shut, and his brows were furrowed, his heart sank.

Oops, this is a heart attack.

Gu Yanqi lost consciousness for a moment, and then realized that he was ill.

Severe throbbing pain spread from the heart, and powerlessness burst from every joint in his body. He began to feel suffocated and wanted to turn over to breathe.

But he couldn't even move his body, only a strong sense of suffocation kept tormenting his spirit.

Fortunately, at this time someone finally came.

The other party quickly laid him flat on the ground, anxiously calling his name.

Gu Yanqi breathed heavily.

saved.

He didn't know how long it took before he got used to the sharp pain in his chest and the feeling of powerlessness all over his body, and opened his eyes.

At this time, the sun was sinking to the west, leaving only half a ray of sunlight, the crackling of the flames and the whistling wind mixed together, but it was a little more quiet.

He was placed behind a big rock, with thin clothes under his body, and the burning fire next to him was the only source of heat.

"you're awake."

The boy came back with the dead wood.

He was only wearing a thin piece of clothes, and the bloodstains on his shoulders were still there, but he sat beside the fire without paying attention.

"You knew you were sick, but you kept running forward. Now that you're better, you can't even move."

Gu Yanqi sat up leaning on the boulder, picked up the clothes under his body.

"yours?"

The boy took the clothes and put them on, but he didn't want to say a word to him.

Gu Yanqi looked at the sky and said, "Thank you."

"You don't need to thank me, it's enough to go back to the city quickly."

Gu Yanqi shook his head: "I can't go back to the city, I have to go forward."

"Let's go?!" The boy said angrily, "Don't you know your physical condition! It's your luck that you didn't die this time!"

Gu Yanqi naturally knew his physical condition, after all, the client died of heart disease.

But the system said that he was given five months of mission time, and it was impossible to take it back in less than a day.

Before the deadline, even if the heart attack is more severe than the one that killed the client, he will not die.

At most it is uncomfortable.

Feeling the sharp pain in his chest, Gu Yanqi smiled.

It was the first time I had the disease, and I was unprepared both mentally and physically, and I was so embarrassed.

It will not be like this in the future.

He can't let this little difficulty become a problem that prevents him from living.

"What's your name."

"Zhong Wenzhuo." The boy replied angrily.

"It's a good name to be a general," Gu Yanxi was taken aback, he changed his original plan, but said, "But I will not go back this time, and I will go forward until I reach Yuecheng .”

"Yuecheng?" Zhong Wenzhuo was a little annoyed, "I'm afraid you will die on the way to that kind of bitter cold place, what's the point of going to that kind of place!"

"Of course it's to save the general."

"Oh, don't say that the general doesn't need others to save him. Even if the general loses the battle, it will still be at Shenlu Pass. Why are you going to Yuecheng to save him!"

Gu Yanqi felt that his hands and feet regained some strength, and his eyes fell on the horse grazing beside him, before he said: "For a hundred years, the barbarians have invaded hundreds of miles of land in Daqing, fortunately, in recent years, Prince Gong has been stationed in the north, and they have slowly regained the lost land .”

"It has been three months since the barbarians besieged Shenluguan in September. The grasslands have fallen into a situation where there is no food to eat. The young and middle-aged men of all tribes have been taken away by the Shanyu. The rear of the barbarians must be empty."

Gu Yanqi picked up dead branches and drew a rough map of the north on the ground, marking Shenluguan, Yuecheng, and Yancheng occupied by the barbarians.

"Several major battles have been fought since the beginning of autumn. Both sides have suffered huge losses. The barbarians have no other way out except to enter the Central Plains to plunder food. Therefore, their siege will not weaken. And morale is low.”

Gu Yanqi then drew a circle fiercely on Yancheng.

"Yesterday I heard that in order to capture Shenluguan, Geser Da Shanyu left Yancheng with [-] elite soldiers to increase Shenluguan. This move will certainly increase the pressure on Shenluguan, but it will also empty Yancheng."

"If I were Prince Gong, I'm afraid I would choose to lead a team of light cavalry across the river, take Yancheng directly, and attack the barbarians from inside and outside!"

When Zhong Wenzhuo heard him talk about the battle situation thousands of miles away, he was really emotional, and asked quickly: "Since this is the case, why did Chen Luguan lose, and what does this have to do with your going to Yuecheng?"

"Before autumn, Gesser claimed to lead an army of 20 Chen Bing to Shenluguan. These 20 young and middle-aged men are the limit of the grassland! Gesell has been attacking Shenluguan for a long time, and winter has come, and the tribes will only be alienated from him. , how can he find another [-] troops!"

"This is a trick to lure the enemy!"

"Prince Gong has always used troops strangely and cunningly, and he will never give up this good opportunity to attack Yancheng by surprise."

There was a confident light in his eyes, and he was decisive.

"But there is still General He Zhengqi sitting in Shenluguan!" Zhong Wenzhuo said.

Gu Yanqi shook his head: "In war, Prince Gong and the general have the same qualifications, but in terms of identity, Prince Gong is the commander-in-chief, while the general is the deputy general. Besides, Grand Chancellor Geser has arranged extremely well for this trick to lure the enemy." It's ingenious, it's getting harder for people in the situation to see clearly, I'm afraid the general is more inclined to surprise Yancheng than Prince Gong, and he will never object."

"Thus, I judge that Prince Gong will definitely be defeated in Yancheng because of his underestimation of the enemy, and he will definitely not be able to return to Shenlu Pass under the siege of Geser Da Shanyu and He Shui!"

"With a group of remnants and defeated generals, the only way is to go all the way west and hide in the Xing'an Mountains where the barbarians have never set foot!"

Gu Yanqi said to Zhong Wenzhuo.

"Although Yuecheng is small, there are three thousand soldiers, defending the enemy's city walls. I don't go to Shenluguan and Yancheng, but I go to Yuecheng. I am saving Prince Gong and the general!"

Zhong Wenzhuo looked at him as if he was looking at a monster, stood up suddenly after a while, and pulled up the horse beside him.

"You are sick, I won't argue with you, go back to the capital."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to go back today."

"Why?"

Gu Yanqi snatched his horse and rode on it, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and the steed galloped forward while neighing, only his laughter echoed in the air, provoking Zhong Wenzhuo's fragile nerves.

"Because I'm leaving."
