Chapter 193 Chapter 193: Chaos in Xiaocheng (Thirty-three) [Please vote]
Gong Cheng observed Chu Yao carefully in secret.
This person has a young face but a head full of gray hair. He has obvious features and is a presence that cannot be ignored among the crowd. Gong Cheng thought for a while and couldn't think of any capable person with such characteristics. So he said: "Dare I ask Mr. Chu's name?"
Chu Yao: "My surname is Chu, my given name is Yao, and my courtesy name is Wuhui."
Chu Yao?
Chu Wuhui?
Gong Cheng vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar.
I just couldn’t remember who this person was for a while.
"It turns out to be Mr. Chu. Gong Cheng, just call me Yunchi. Who is this righteous man?" He noticed the tall man next to Chu Yao again. Although this person had an unfamiliar face and had never seen it before, he couldn't help but feel good about him at first glance.
Gong Shuwu has calmed down his emotions, looked at his nephew with a normal expression, and introduced: "I am Gong Shuwu, half step."
Gong Cheng glanced at the deserted street and said: "This is not the place to talk. I would also like to ask two righteous men to come with me."
Chu Yao: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Young Master."< br>
The two followed Gong Cheng into the governor's mansion.
The mansion is much deserted than when Qi Shan came.
Occasionally, servants pass by. They look in a hurry and act cautiously, not daring to make any mistakes. Without popularity, there is an unspeakable depression everywhere. Chu Yao and Gong Shuwu walked side by side, his eyes falling on the back of Gong Cheng who was leading the way.
With his intelligence and attentiveness, he would not fail to notice the strangeness between Gong Shuwu and Gong Cheng. He also guessed that the young man in front of him was probably a member of the Gong clan and was very close to Gong Shuwu. Considering his age, he couldn't be Gong Shuwu's heir. Could he be his nephew?
This episode was not part of his plan.
I was worried that it would affect subsequent plans, but my face remained calm. As Gong Cheng entered the main hall where the former governor Yan Cheng used to entertain guests. In the main hall, two people had been waiting for a long time, and Chu Yao also saw a familiar face among them.
Gu Chi, Gu Wangchao!
Why is this guy here?
His pupils suddenly narrowed. Covered by the wide sleeves of the Confucian shirt, the fingers hanging in the sleeves played to a certain melody. Gong Shuwu beside him was slightly surprised when he received the information. He first glanced at Gu Chi calmly, and then moved away naturally and calmly.
When the two came in, Gu Chi was drinking tea with his head down.
He clearly heard two unfamiliar voices approaching the main hall. Not surprisingly, they should be the "people who offered advice" that Si Yan mentioned.
The two of them would say one or two vague words at first, but just now, they almost made their voices heard, which caught his attention. This move seems to be deliberately guarding against someone... And in the entire main hall, who needs to be guarded like this?
Gu Chi raised his head.
His eyes fell on a person: "Gong Shuwu?"
I went to see Qi Shan before, and happened to meet Gong Shuwu there. The two exchanged a few words, which was barely acquaintance.
So——
Gu Chi’s eyes turned to Chu Yao. He knew that Qi Shan had an excellent disguise ability, so he asked, “Qi Yuanliang?”
"You have recognized the wrong person, I am not Qi Yuanliang."
Gu Chi frowned: "Aren't you?"
He didn't believe it!
Since we are acquaintances, we can open up the skylight and say something. Chu Yao said: "I don't change my name or surname. It's Chu Wuhui."
Even if he really wants to wear a vest, he doesn't care about it. Praying for good.
Listening to the conversation between Gu Chi and Chu Yao, the young man in brocade clothes sitting at the top looked happy: "Mr. Gu, are you familiar with this gentleman?"
Gu Chi was polite: "I'm not familiar with it, but I've seen it once."
But when he glanced at the inscription on Chu Yao's waist casually, his pupils trembled, and a turmoil arose in his heart!
He had only met Chu Yao more than a month ago!
Although Chu Yao was dressed cleanly and decently at that time, the fatigue and wrinkles on his face showed his old age, and his shoulders were hunched, and he did not show the heroic spirit of the three heroes of Chu State at all.
Gu Chi only felt it was a pity, but he didn't find it strange either.
After so many years of hard work, how could it not leave any traces?
But who is this young man in front of me? ? ?
Apart from hair color, does it have anything to do with Chu Yao?
Although Dan Mansion Wen Xin was abolished, there was no chance of recovery, but - the price was too high. He could not imagine anyone who could make Chu Yao willing to put his life as a bet. From now on Controlled by others; secondly, time is too short!
Even if Chu Yao dares to take risks in order to restore Wenxin, it will take time to condense Danfu Wenxin for the second time!
Is this person really Chu Yao?
A hint of doubt slipped through Gu Chi's eyes.
As for Chu Yao——
His expression was numb.
I even want to lament what kind of luck I have?
The original intention was to see who the temporary chief of Xiaocheng was. Knowing that the former governor Yan Cheng was missing, Xiaocheng could organize effective military resistance in a short period of time. This temporary chief could not do it without two brushes. Maybe he could Use your strength to find someone.
I never expected——
A whole bunch of acquaintances!
Including the young man in brocade who just spoke.
Yes, the boy in brocade is also an acquaintance!
It was the eccentric waiter from Yuehua Tower!
Looking at it now, the so-called "guo'er" should be someone's identity for convenience, and the real identity is doubtful.
The young man in brocade, also known as Bei Desert Proton Tude, whose pseudonym is Wu Yuan, looked unnatural for a moment after hearing Gu Chi's reply.
Secretly, Mr. Gu doesn’t follow the rules!
If Gu Chi had said "very familiar", he would have just taken advantage of the trend to play the emotional card and close the relationship. Who would have thought that Gu Chi would be so straightforward and bluntly say "not familiar", which would make the draft he had already prepared useless. land.
However, this did not delay Wu Yuan's enthusiasm for wooing him.
"Mr. Chu, please take a seat."
Chu Yao's willingness to step forward and offer advice in critical moments shows that his character and talent are at least above average. At such a critical moment of life and death, how could one dare to show his embarrassment without a few brushes? If the strategy is not good, not only will you lose your reputation, but you will also become a laughing stock.
Everyone took their seats.
Wu Yuan saved the situation in a few words.
Knowing the conspirator's temper, he asked Chu Yao about the content of his plan before he came up. On the contrary, Chu Yao became impatient.
The purpose of his coming to the Sheriff's Mansion is very clear.
Provide suggestions to let Xiaocheng live a little longer.
Looking for someone, the whereabouts of Tu Rong and his family.
As for Wu Yuan's temptation and wooing, he had no chance at all.
Gu Chi lowered his head to sip the tea and smiled without saying a word.
Chu Yao asked: "Do you know how many people the rebels threw into the city?"
Wu Yuandao: "Yes."
But he didn't know that the rebels were selling goods in gourds. What medicine.
Obviously the enemy concentrated all their forces and could capture it with a single forceful attack. However, from day to night, they finally sent out troops but only lost a few people. The operation was confusing.
"How do you plan to dispose of the corpses of those people?" Chu Yao said solemnly, "The rebels have sinister intentions. Please treat this matter with caution. This is also for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in Xiaocheng."
Wu Yuan: "This... people have been ordered to collect the burial."
The people have been sent out.
But he didn't care whether it could be executed properly.
Originally, I had no intention of defending this city. I just wanted to take this opportunity to cause some trouble, preferably by becoming the trigger for a melee among the northwest countries. During the day, he received news that the rebels had reinforced 20,000 troops, and he was already preparing to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the city...
Who knew the rebels would show up like this?
For this reason, he discussed with Mr. Gu and Yunchi for a long time but still had no clue.
Wu Yuan said in surprise: "Sir, do you know the rebels' plan?"
Chu Yao: "I can guess three points." He didn't say too much.
Naturally, he would not completely confess his speculation.
Wu Yuan is not Wu Lang, just a few words to fool him.
Chu Yao had this in mind, but the plan he offered was truly a plan, and it was a deployment made in response to the situation where the rebels "only besiege but not attack". It ranges from the deployment of troops to garrison the city to the distribution and control of water and food in the city. It also needs to appease the people's emotions and promptly control suspicious people who take the opportunity to stir up trouble.
It seems to be picked up at the drop of a hat, but the content is detailed and meticulous. It doesn't look like it was thought of at the last minute, but it seems like it has been thought about long ago.
Wu Yuan's guess is not unreasonable. In fact, Chu Yao has faced similar situations before - for example, the Chu State was destroyed.
"Mr. Chu...do you have any strategy to defeat the enemy?"
The more Wu Yuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
The contents of the suggestions are all about passive defense and active attack!
Chu Yao said: "Nothing!"
Wu Yuan: "..."
Gong Cheng, who was fascinated by what he heard, said: "..."
Gu Chi showed an expression of "Sure enough, it is so."
Chu Yao said unceremoniously: "The rebels have strong soldiers and horses, and plenty of food and grass. Lang Jun should know more about the situation in Xiaocheng. The current plan can only be postponed until reinforcements arrive, then there is a chance of survival! Lang Jun!" I don’t know what you are thinking. It’s just that in order to defeat the enemy, how many people are available in Lang Jun’s account?”
Wu Yuanyu choked.
He has a group of people in private.
It's just that these people are the trump card secretly given to him by his mother clan, and they are also the bargaining chips for returning to the Northern Desert to fight for power in the future. They cannot be defeated here. Even if his brain is full of water and he is willing to take it out, a few hundred elites are enough to fill the teeth of tens of thousands of rebels?
The night is already dark.
Wu Yuan arranged for Chu Yao and his wife to stay in the guest house.
The person leading the way was not the maidservant but Gu Chi.
"I have some things that I want to talk to Wu Hui about. Are you welcome to Wu Hui?" Gu Chi asked Chu Yao for his opinion, but his actions made it clear that he didn't want to talk, so he had to sit down and talk.
Chu Yao said lightly: "Of course it's okay."
The guest courtyard is relatively remote, quiet and quiet.
Gong Shuwu put on his clothes and went to bed. He could vaguely hear Chu Yao and Gu Chi having sex next door. He didn't want to wonder if there was something in their words. He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep. The story of the Gong family kept popping up in his mind. A piece of wood.
The more important thing is my nephew Gong Cheng.
Gong Cheng's life was not in danger. As his second uncle, he was naturally overjoyed. He also wanted to find a chance to reveal his identity and take Gong Cheng away. As long as he still breathes, no one will bully his nephew. If given the chance, perhaps the Gong family can be revitalized.
As long as people are still there, the Gong family will not be finished!
Just——
Tossing and turning, tossing and turning.
I happened to see the moonlight in the courtyard as bright as water, and my inner irritability was relieved a lot. He sighed, got up and went for a walk in the courtyard to dissipate his inner depression. Scattered around to an open garden, the tip of my ears heard the sound of weapons being waved and sharp blades piercing the air.
Looking for the sound, a familiar figure came into view.
He was slightly startled.
I didn’t expect that the man dancing the sword under the moon was his nephew.
Gong Cheng also noticed him, but didn't pay attention.
Gong Shuwu looked at it for a while and realized that his nephew's swordsmanship had deteriorated a lot due to the deposed Dan Mansion and the injuries sustained on the way to exile. If it were in the past, the young man's swordsmanship would be faster and more powerful than now, which would be pleasing to the eye and could kill people at the same time!
Looking at it, I lost my mind.
When he came to his senses, Gong Shuwu found that he had knocked down the young man's sword, and Gong Cheng had lost his sword and was looking at him in disbelief. Gongshu Martial Arts said: "I was so excited that I disturbed my husband."
Gong Cheng bent down to pick up the long sword and said in a low voice: "No, the righteous swordsman is superb. I have benefited a lot from fighting with the righteous. It's just that. I'm afraid I won't make any progress in the future if I am stupid."
The feeling of familiarity becomes stronger in my heart.
A certain title almost blurted out.
This person felt too much like his second uncle!
Gong Shuwu said dryly: "Just practice more."
Gong Cheng looked gloomy.
He will never get better!
“I see that Lang Jun’s brows seem to be gloomy, but are you facing something difficult?” Gong Shuwu hesitated slightly and was concerned about how Gong Cheng was spending these days, but he also wanted to know how Yun Chi and Wu Yuan Er People mix They were in the same place, and when did they meet each other, "How old are you, Chi? You might as well tell me, maybe it can relieve my husband's knot." The reviews are not very positive.
Indeed, this is a qualified scribe and planner.
But which conspirator in the world doesn’t have a dark heart?
Together with Gong Cheng, he didn’t know what benefits his nephew had for people to plot, and Wu Yuan...
Speaking of Wu Yuan, he felt that this name It's also very familiar.
But Gong Shuwu ignored one thing. His self-conceited concern turned out to be inquiring in the ears of others. Gong Cheng is naturally the same.
"No, I'm just worried about the situation and can't sleep at night."
Gong Shuwu took advantage of the situation and brought the topic to Wu Yuan.
Facing this man who was close to him, Gong Cheng's guard was broken down unconsciously, and he revealed many details - except that he was a descendant of the Gong family and Wu Yuan's true identity.
He just said that Wu Yuan was a good friend when he was young. Later, his family fell into decline and he had a place to live with Wu Yuan's help.
When the word "friend" was mentioned, Gong Shuwu suddenly thought of it.
Wu Yuan, isn’t this Bei Desert Proton?
When Gong Shuwu was at home, he heard his eldest brother complain more than once that Gong Cheng was very close to a proton from the Northern Desert, and even though he tried to persuade him several times, he failed to dissuade him. But Gong Shuwu felt that Xin's country was strong and a Northern Desert proton could not harm anyone no matter how careful he was.
As a son of an aristocratic family, Gong Cheng is still a junior who is deeply loved by the leader of the Xin Kingdom. It is understandable that the Beimo Protagonist wants to improve his situation as a hostage in another country by building a good relationship with him.
Gong Shuwu asked Gong Cheng again about his future plans.
Gong Cheng said: "Brother Weng has some business in Bei Mo. After the matter in Xiaocheng is settled, I plan to go to Bei Mo to have a look and find a way to make a living... In the future, maybe he will come back."
Gong Shuwu: "..."
Gong Shuwu: "!!!"
He almost thought he was hearing hallucinations.
"You want to... go to the Northern Desert to make a living?"
It's not that Gong Shuwu is pedantic, but that he has dealt with Shiwu in the Northern Desert, or on the battlefield, the flash of swords, shadows, and moves. How could he not understand the situation in the Northern Desert after seeing such bloody exchanges?
Bei Mo and Xin Guo also have a deadly feud!
He went to the Northern Desert. If someone knew his identity, he would be ostracized. In more serious cases, he might even lose his life!
I am debating whether to confess my identity directly, saying that I can’t let Yunchi go to Beimo. As my second uncle, I can’t afford to support him! He just said: "Brother Yunchi, you-"
There was a thud.
A stone was thrown in from outside the courtyard wall.
This is followed by a very lame cry of "cuckoo".
