I want to do something big [fast travel]

Chapter 4

When Gu Yanqi woke up, he was already lying on the bed.

The room looked very simple, with only a charcoal brazier burning in the corner, which was considered a small luxury in this November winter.

where is this?

He grabbed the quilt and was a little confused for a while.

But soon, the door was pushed open, and Zhong Wenzhuo walked in with a bowl of soup medicine. When he saw Gu Yanqi sitting on the bed, his face suddenly showed some joy.

"You finally woke up!"

Gu Yanqi said, "Where is this, how long have I been asleep?"

"Where else could it be, Yuecheng." Zhong Wenzhuo handed him the medicine bowl, "You're not sleeping, you're in a coma! You've been in a coma all day!"

Gu Yanqi took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, then turned over and got out of bed, picked up the clothes beside him and put them on: "I've been delayed for too long, now take me to see the Yuecheng guard."

"At least take care of your body a little bit." Zhong Wenzhuo muttered, stepped forward to help him get dressed, and then briefly introduced the situation here.

The commander of the Yuecheng Guards was named Cheng Yi, and there were 600 generals under his command, but only 600 remained in Yuecheng at this time due to reinforcements at Shenlu Pass.He is not a general with a background, so he has a lot of respect for Gu Yanqi and his party who came here under the name of the Great General of Shenwu. Hearing that Gu Yanqi woke up, he hurriedly asked someone to meet him.

Walking out of the room, he saw a young general walking over, silently following behind Gu Yanqi, he immediately recognized him, and asked, "Jing Baihu, have all the injured brothers been arranged?"

Jing Zhongjin - that is the young general from yesterday, replied in a deep voice: "Commander Cheng has arranged for doctors to treat the wounded, and the slightly injured brothers are all fine now, only a few seriously injured brothers are still alive. get up."

He paused, and continued: "Lang Qianhu left yesterday, and he asked me to thank you before he left."

Gu Yanqi said: "Such a trivial matter is nothing to worry about. Since Lang Qianhu entrusted you to me, you will have to work hard these days to follow me."

Jing Zhongjin responded and continued to follow behind him silently.

Gu Yanqi soon met Cheng Yi, the commander of Yuechengwei.

It stands to reason that the generals stationed at a border like Yuecheng should be experienced generals, but Cheng Yi is bloated and looks shy, he doesn't look like he has been on the battlefield at all.

After thinking for a while, Gu Yanqi understood the reason.

Yuecheng is a non-military place, and it is barren and remote. If the barbarians captured Yuecheng, the food they plundered might not be enough for the return journey. In addition, it is located in the deep mountains, and the road is rugged and steep, so it cannot be used as an attack on the Central Plains. foothold.

In such a tasteless place, I can't complain that the commander of the Yuecheng Guards will look like he has never fought.

When the two sides greeted each other, Cheng Yi asked eagerly: "Cheng heard that Mr. Gu is under the command of the Great General Shenwu. I don't know why he is here in Yuecheng? Is it Shenluguan who needs reinforcements?"

"Gu Mou is indeed here with a military order, but he is not asking for reinforcements." Gu Yanqi said, "Not only does the commander not have to send reinforcements, but he must stick to Yuecheng."

He stood up and took out a letter from his pocket, holding it in both hands.

"Gu has brought the general's secret letter, and you will know the details at a glance."

Zhong Wenzhuo's eyes flickered, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He took a step forward as if he wanted to say something, but was quickly stopped by Jing Zhongjin who was beside him.

With a complex expression, he glanced at Jing Chongjin, then at Gu Yanqi, Zhong Wenzhuo finally held back his words and gave Gu Yanqi some face.

Cheng Yi didn't pay attention to the actions of the two young generals. He took the letter, checked the seal on it first, and then opened the letter to read it carefully.

It's just that the more he read, the more doubts he had on his face, and when he finished reading a letter, he was already sweating profusely, with fear in his eyes.

"Young Master Gu, the general's letter...what does this letter mean?"

Gu Yanqi stared at him with a pair of phoenix eyes: "Commander Cheng doesn't need to ask the meaning, you just need to follow suit."

Cheng Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out the letter and read it again, walked around the room for a while, and asked after a while, "Is this really General Shenwu, General He Zhengqi and He?"

Gu Yanqi said: "The seal of the general is here, there can be mistakes!"

Cheng Yi gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, Cheng will definitely prepare as soon as possible, but there is one thing..."

He looked to the left and right, Gu Yanqi understood, and the two of them waved away the attendants, and when there was no one else in the room, Cheng Yi approached and asked in a low voice.

"The general wants to cross the city to do these things, could it be Shenluguan..."

"Exactly."

hiss!

Cheng Yi took a breath, and asked quickly, "But why did they come to Yuecheng!"

Gu Yanqi's eyes darkened: "Forgive me for not being able to tell the truth, but if Commander Cheng has any doubts, Gu is willing to leave my brother behind so that the guards of the city will be safe."

"Which one is your brother?"

"It's the one named Zhong Wenzhuo, he's my... brother-in-law."

Cheng Yi rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Okay! That's it! But as you said in the letter, it will cost a lot of money, and the Yuecheng Guard may not be able to complete it."

"Don't worry about this matter, my brother will solve it by himself."

He was not afraid that Gu Qi would leave his wife and brother and run away, if he really wanted to do this, he would be ridiculed by the world.

When Gu Yanqi returned to the house, he called Zhong Wenzhuo, explained the reason to him, and took part of the dowry money to give to the other party, but Zhong Wenzhuo's reaction was unexpectedly strong.

"No." Zhong Wenzhuo shook his head like a rattle, "I won't stay."

"Why? I thought you hated me." Gu Yan asked strangely.

Zhong Wenzhuo rolled his eyes, and it took him a long time to figure out a reason: "Chen Steward asked me to follow you, and I will take you back completely."

"I can go back without you." Gu Yanqi interrupted him, and then said, "And the task I left for Yuechengwei is quite difficult. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Cheng Yi to complete it. I need you to watch him here , directly take over Yuechengwei if necessary."

"You're crazy!" Zhong Wenzhuo jumped up, "If you dare to touch the city guards, even ten He Zhengqis can't protect you."

"So I want you to stay here for cover."

"And then! Waiting for Qi Dayi to kill his wife?"

Gu Yanqi raised his eyebrows at his lack of respect, and immediately said, "I have my own measure."

"If you want me to stay, where are you going?"

"Naturally go to the mountains and save people."

"You! You are sick and sick, and you can only come here because of my rescue. Now you want to go to the mountains to save others, and you want to throw me away?"

Zhong Wenzhuo's cheeks flushed with anger: "You just trust your own judgment so much, that Prince Gong will be defeated?!"

"Whether there is a defeat or not, you can see Jing Zhongjin." Gu Yanqi said, "They will appear there, other than the defeat of Yancheng, there is no other reason."

Zhong Wenzhuo shut up.

His attitude towards Gu Yanqi is so abnormal today, and there is naturally a reason for this.

Jing Zhongjin and his party had a lot of taboos about the reason for their coming to Yuecheng, and he couldn't figure it out at all, but his keen intuition told him that what Gu Yanqi said was true.

Can this person really judge the failure of a war that involved the entire Daqing Empire thousands of miles away by relying on the simple news that "[-] barbarian troops have increased their troops to Shenluguan" in the deep boudoir? !

What unfathomable wisdom is this!

It had to be said that he didn't want to stay in Yuecheng.

He wanted to follow this person and see what he was going to do next!

Gu Yanqi stared at him for a long time, and after Zhong Wenzhuo turned his head awkwardly, he suddenly realized.

"Are you afraid that something will happen to me?"

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Zhong Wenzhuo turned around and left in annoyance, "If you die earlier, I can return to the capital earlier, why bother to suffer here!"

"Okay! Go as long as you want! It's easier for me in Yuecheng!"

Gu Yanqi propped his head to look at his red ears under the hair, and blinked: "I see."

Zhong Wenzhuo walked out of the gate and slammed the gate in a fit of anger. Gu Yanqi shook his head amusedly, and was about to pack the map into his luggage when the closed gate was opened again, and Zhong Wenzhuo poked his head out. .

"If you beg me now, I can still reluctantly agree to go with you."

"Wen Zhuo, why do I feel like you haven't called me Madam for a long time." Gu Yanqi held back a smile and teased him, "It's been a long time since you called General He Zhengqi either. Do you have any opinion on me and the General... ..."

"Hmph, if you want to go by yourself, go by yourself, I don't care about you!"

Zhong Wenzhuo's little head swished back, causing Gu Yanqi to burst out laughing.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Yanqi packed his luggage, took more than 80 of Jing Zhongjin's men, [-] elite soldiers and several sets of excellent equipment provided by Cheng Yi, left Yuecheng, and entered the west side of Xing'an Mountains.

Zhong Wenzhuo insisted on not going out of the city to send someone off, and hid on the city wall to watch secretly, until he could no longer see anyone, then went to Cheng Yi Yaoxin full of resentment.

And when he read the letter, he was as confused as Cheng Yi.

Why did Yuechengwei do these things?

What the hell is he thinking?

Gu Yanqi is not looking for people aimlessly.

The client would not give him any reminders beyond his own understanding. After the defeat of Yancheng, the barbarians plundered wantonly in the hinterland of the Central Plains, causing the foundation of Daqing to be shaken and the emperor to die.

After Donggong succeeded to the throne, General Shenwu escaped from the Xing'an Mountains, brought news of King Gong's death in battle, and expressed his allegiance to the new emperor.But the new emperor didn't trust He Zhengqi, instead he forced him to hand over his military power.He Zhengqi refused, so he simply led an army of 30 at the border, held high the banner of killing brothers and fathers in the Eastern Palace, and entered the capital.

Before He Zhengqi escaped from the Xing'an Mountains, the people from the Shenwu General's Mansion had already been taken away, only the client was locked up in the courtyard without a fight, and was later caught by the new emperor and thrown into prison until he died.

Under such circumstances, Gu Yanqi only knew the big and hazy news that Prince Gong was defeated, Prince Gong died, He Zhengqi escaped, and He Zhengqi rebelled.

He can only rely on himself to find the hiding place of the defeated army in Yancheng.

As it was getting late, Gu Yanqi chewed dry food, spread out the map by the fire, and continued to check.

Although the Xing'an Mountains are large, there are not many places that can accommodate the defeated army in Yancheng. His fingers wandered in Yancheng, Xing'an Mountains, and Yuecheng, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"right here!"

In the dark mountain forest, the sound of human breathing merged with the sound of flames burning, breaking the silence of the night.

Several senior generals gathered around the fire in the center, staring with red eyes.

"Your Highness, He Zhengqi has been in close contact with the East Palace for a long time, and this time the attack on Yancheng is also his attention, maybe he did it behind his back! He ran too fast!"

"Speak less, if he escapes back to Shenluguan, he can keep the north at least. If he also follows us into the deep mountains and old forests, Daqing will be over!"

"So what if you go back to Shenluguan! Who knows if this old thief is still in touch with the barbarians!"

"Enough! General He and his son have guarded the frontier for decades for me, how could they betray! The most important thing now is to find a place to live. These 2000 people must settle down as soon as possible!"

The voice of a young man, the generals looked for it, and immediately fell silent.

It's Prince Gong.

Prince Gong Mu Jing is only 22 years old this year, but since he entered the battlefield at the age of 14, he has won countless battles. If he was not too young, he might have taken away He Zhengqi's title of the world's number one God of War.

But his appearance is not as vicious as his reputation, on the contrary, he is tough and handsome, and he is quite outstanding among the handsome talents in the capital.

Simply and neatly stopped the disputes among his subordinates, Mu Jing waved his hand and clicked on the military map in front of him.

"Let's go here, the barbarians can't find it here!"

Everyone looked down and couldn't help but exclaimed in unison.

"Hujianyuan!?"

Jing Zhongjin frowned and said: "Except for the special hunters, no one else will set foot in this place,"

Gu Yanqi said with a smile: "Even if you think like this, Grand Chanyu Geser will naturally think like this."

"There are a lot of people defeated in Yancheng. If you want to settle down for a long time, you must find a place with open terrain, water and shelter."

"Hujianyuan has met all the conditions. If necessary, we can go out of the mountain from the back of Yancheng, communicate with the outside world, and return to Shenlu Pass." Mu Jing continued to explain.

The general under him looked puzzled: "Then why don't you just cross the Xing'an Mountains and come to Yuecheng?"

"Look here." Mu Jing traced a thin line on the map, and the thin line was arc-shaped, as if someone had stamped a zigzag mark on it with a spoon, "This road is called a split road. Although it is not obvious on the map, it is a fairly wide space that directly splits the Xing'an Mountains into two halves."

He pointed at the enclosed arc-shaped area: "Running from Yancheng into the Xing'an Mountains, we can only enter here, and we have already explored this crack that separates the east and west of the mountain range!"

"There must be a large number of barbarians stationed!"

"So that's how it is," Jing Zhongjin exclaimed, "If it wasn't for my master's guidance, I would never have thought of this."

"I just think about more things." Gu Yanqi shook his head, planning to pack his things.

"Let me come." Jing Zhongjin wanted to help, but when his fingers touched the map, he suddenly reacted, his face was full of shock, "Gu Gongzi, how did you know the news of Yancheng's defeat!?"

Gu Yanqi smiled lightly, put the map away, but did not answer.

"It's late at night, go to sleep."

He still had to prepare to break through the encirclement of the barbarians with Yancheng's huge target of remnants and defeated generals.
