Chapter 273 Three idiots
After settling the matter for the time being, Gu Chan wisely stopped entangled in the matter and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. You have killed people, and that enemy of the Gu family There will definitely be someone to take revenge, so we have to pack up and run away."
"Then let's not deal with this matter?" Renyin asked.
"There's no rush. Let's go back to Zhongyuan City first. Now that I have received the emperor's order, how can I waste time on such a stupid matter? It won't be too late to wait until I complete the emperor's order and then slowly return to Kyoto to deal with this matter." Gu Chan found a reasonable reason.
Renyin felt that what she said made sense, so he said no more.
Then the three of them packed their luggage, left the room together, and headed downstairs.
When they came to the lobby downstairs, Lao Bai was still sitting at the table eating breakfast. The three of them sat down to eat with him. After eating, they checked out of the inn together and took two carriages quietly. Leaving Kyoto and heading back to Zhongyuan City.
Just as Gu Chan, four people and a chimpanzee were on their way back.
On the other side, inside Zhongyuan City.
At noon that day, a group of defeated soldiers with only more than 5,000 people left dragged their exhausted team into the city.
The leader was none other than Tian Ying, Tian Bao, and Tian He, the three Tian brothers who had led the army before.
When they led an army of 100,000 to the expedition, they were still full of confidence. They felt that their Central Plains camp generals were well-trained and would definitely be able to defeat the enemy at the border in a short time and take back the border as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the border with an army of 100,000 troops, they were directly ambushed by the enemy and suffered heavy losses. Only these five thousand defeated soldiers were left to successfully break through and return to Zhongyuan City.
What is a straw bag?
The three Tian brothers perfectly interpret this word!
But the good thing is that there are a total of 300,000 troops stationed in the Central Plains camp. Now, 100,000 generals have been lost, and there are still about 200,000 soldiers left. This first battle is defeated, but as long as we rest and recuperate, , with these two hundred thousand generals to defend the Central Plains City, there is still no problem.
No, the Earth-Moon Army did not choose to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. They only temporarily set up camp in a large mountain eighty miles away from Zhongyuan City.
Just because they understood that Zhongyuan City was absolutely impregnable, and it was absolutely impossible to easily break through such a fortress, so they chose to temporarily give the three Tian brothers a chance to breathe, and defeated them. News spread that the three brothers had invaded the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Unsurprisingly, as the news spread, it spread throughout the Tiancang Kingdom in just seven days.
At this time, not only the people of Tiancang Kingdom were lamenting, but everyone in Zhongyuan City was panicking. Even the emperor of Kyoto was extremely angry.
From beginning to end, the emperor never thought that the three Tian brothers were such idiots!
In anger, he directly issued an imperial edict to Zhongyuan City at an accelerated speed of 800 miles, deposing the three Tian brothers from their posts as generals, and announced that the new generals were to be decided.
For a time, everyone in the entire Zhongyuan City was completely panicked.
The key is that in the past, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Earth and Moon Kingdom were pressing down on the territory, and in the latter, the people in Tiancang were panicked and unable to unite as one, and in the middle, the emperor was faced with the disadvantageous situation of having no generals available.
Everyone doesn't know which general is capable of guarding the Central Plains City and defeating the invading enemy forces!
Ten days later, at dusk in the afternoon.
Gu Chan, four of them plus the chimpanzee, who hurried slowly, finally arrived outside the east gate of Zhongyuan City in two carriages.
At this time, the east city gate was closed tightly, and there were rows of soldiers patrolling the city head, as if they were ready to attack. Gu Chan got off the carriage and looked up at the soldiers on the city with confused expressions. She didn't understand. She had only been away for more than 20 days. Why did she feel that the entire Zhongyuan City had changed when she came back? Similar.
The city guard standing on the top of the city stared down and shouted sternly, "Who is coming? Please tell me your name?"
"Gu Chan, the manager of Zhongyuan Medical Center." Gu Chan responded standing below with her fists clasped.
The city guard lowered his head and took a closer look. After confirming that the person coming below was Gu Chan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh! It turns out to be shopkeeper Gu! I thought it was a craftsman sent by the enemy!"
"No, what's going on? I've only been in Kyoto for less than a month, why have things changed like this when I came back? Does Zhongyuan City need to be under martial law to this extent?" Gu Chan asked.
"Shopkeeper Gu, you don't know that hundreds of thousands of troops from the Earth and Moon Kingdom have now penetrated deep into the hinterland of our Central Plains and set up camp in the mountains eighty miles ahead. They are ready to attack the Central Plains City at any time. Therefore, we must set up tight defenses to avoid accidents." It's martial law," the city guard explained.
Gu Chan was stunned when he heard it, and couldn't believe his ears.
Oh shit!
What do the three Tian brothers do for food?
When they decided to go on the expedition, Gu Chan expected that they would lose in the first battle, but how could he have imagined that they would lose so miserably! In less than a month, the Diyue Kingdom was invaded into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and they even set up camp in the mountains eighty miles ahead!
What the hell kind of war is this?
Sighing helplessly, Gu Chan said, "So how are General Tian and the others doing now?"
"They have been deposed by the emperor a long time ago. Now the new general of Zhongyuan City has not yet been decided. I don't know which general the emperor will send to take over Zhongyuan City!" said the city guard.
"That's it, okay then. You can open the city gate first and let us in!" Gu Chan said helplessly.
The city guard nodded without comment and immediately ordered the soldiers under the city to open the city gate.
Gu Chan sat back on the carriage, and the two carriages slowly entered the city.
After they entered, the city guard ordered the soldiers to close and lock the city gate.
Then he came down from the city tower, stopped two carriages, walked up to Gu Chan and said, "Shopkeeper Gu, there is something I have to remind you."
"What's the matter?" Gu Chan asked.
"Something happened to the menstrual towels you sell. Your fiancée was sued to the Yamen and is now being held in jail by the county magistrate!" the city guard reminded kindly.
Gu Chan's face turned gloomy when she heard this and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know the specific situation. I just heard that the menstrual pads you sell are unsafe. Many women can't walk after using them, so something went wrong. Even the girl Ziyue who recommended this thing to everyone is not safe." After being implicated, he was taken into custody," the city guard said vaguely.
Gu Chan thanked him with a livid face and cupped her fists, then immediately drove the carriage back to Zhongyuan Medical Center in the refugee area.
Ding Sheng said goodbye to them, got off the carriage and rushed back to Ding Mansion, a wealthy area, alone.
