Back Off, Let Me Come

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 you ask sir for his teachings?"

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 this 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 had 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 like to ask two righteous men to follow me."

Chu Yao: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lang."

The two followed Gong Cheng into the governor's mansion.

The mansion was much deserted than when Qi Shan came.

Occasionally, servants would pass by, and they would 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, and 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 my 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.

At first, the two of them would say one or two vague words, but just now, they almost made their voices heard, which attracted 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 one person: "Gong Shuwu?"

I went to see Qishan earlier, and happened to meet Gong Shuwu there. The two exchanged a few words, which was barely acquaintance.

so--

Gu Chi turned his attention 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 doesn't believe it!

Since we are acquaintances, we can open up the sky and say something. Chu Yao said: "I don't change my name in business and my surname in sitting. It's Chu Wuhui."

Even if you really want to wear a vest, it is not uncommon to wear it to pray 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 him, I've met him once."

However, 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 rickety, which 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 Danfu Wenxin was crippled, there was no chance of recovery, but - firstly, the price was too high, and he could not imagine anyone who could make Chu Yao willing to sacrifice his life as a bet, and he would be controlled by others from now on; secondly, time Too short!

Even if Chu Yao dares to take risks in order to restore Wenxin, it will still take time to condense the Wenxin of Dan Mansion for the second time!

Is this person really Chu Yao?

There was a hint of doubt in Gu Chi's eyes.

As for Chu Yao——

His expression was numb.

I even want to lament that I am so lucky?

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.

Never imagined--

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 back 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 Mo Prozi Tu De, 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 opportunity to play the emotional card and close the relationship. Who would have thought that Gu Chi was so straightforward and said "not familiar", which made the draft he had already prepared useless.

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.

His purpose in coming to the Sheriff's Mansion was very clear.

Come up with some ideas to let Xiaocheng live a little longer.

Looking for someone to find out 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: "I know."

But he didn't know what medicine the rebels were selling.

It was clear that the enemy had 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... has been ordered to be buried."

People were sent out.

But he didn't care whether it could be executed properly.

Originally, he had no intention of defending the city. He 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, so he can just fool him with a few words.

Chu Yao had this in mind, but the plan he offered was really 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 your fingertips, but the content is detailed and meticulous. It doesn't look like it was just thought of at the moment, 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 country 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 was fascinated: "..."

Gu Chi showed an expression of "Sure enough".

Chu Yao said unceremoniously: "The rebels have strong soldiers and horses, and plenty of food and grass. Lang Jun should know more about what is going on in Xiaocheng. We can only delay the current plan until reinforcements arrive, and then there is a chance of survival! Lang Jun's thoughts are not I don’t know. It’s just that to defeat the enemy, we need manpower first. How many people are available in Lang Jun’s account?”

Wu Yuan choked.

He has a group of people privately.

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 two people to stay in the guest courtyard.

The person leading the way was not a maidservant but Gu Chi.

"I have something 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 softly: "Of course."

The guest house is relatively remote, quiet and quiet.

Gongshu Wu put on his clothes and went to bed. He could vaguely hear Chu Yao and Gu Chi having sex next door, and 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 Gong's family kept popping up in his mind. A piece of wood.

The more important one is nephew Gong Cheng.

As his second uncle, he was naturally overjoyed that Gong Cheng's life was safe. 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!

only--

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 it Xun Sheng, a familiar figure came into view.

He was slightly startled.

Unexpectedly, the man dancing the sword under the moon was his nephew.

Gong Cheng also noticed him, but didn't pay attention.

Gong Shuwu watched for a while and realized that his nephew's swordsmanship had deteriorated a lot because of the deposed Dan Mansion and the injuries sustained on the way to exile. If it were in the past, young men's swordsmanship would be faster and more powerful than it is now, which is pleasing to the eye and can also kill people!

I looked distracted.

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 Wudao said: "I was itchy for a while, and I disturbed Mr. Lang."

Gong Cheng bent down to pick up the long sword and whispered: "No, the swordsmanship of the righteous is superb. I have benefited a lot from fighting with the righteous. It's just that my talent is dull. I'm afraid I won't make much progress in the future."

The feeling of familiarity in my heart becomes stronger and stronger.

A certain title almost came out of my mouth.

This person felt so much like his second uncle!

Gong Shuwu said dryly: "Just practice more."

Gong Cheng looked sad.

He can't get better!

"I see that Lang Jun's eyebrows seem to be gloomy, but are you in trouble?" Gong Shuwu hesitated a little, concerned about how Gong Cheng was spending these days, but he also wanted to know how Yun Chi and Wu Yuan were mixed together, and what happened? When did we meet? "How old are you, Chi? Why don't you tell me? Maybe it can ease my husband's heart."

Mr. Qi Shan and Chu Yao did not have very positive comments about Gu Chi.

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 others to plot, and Wu Yuan...

Speaking of Wu Yuan, the name seemed familiar to him.

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 his heart, Gong Cheng's guard was unknowingly broken down 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.

Mentioning the word "friend", Gong Shuwu suddenly remembered.

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 after trying 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 descendant of an aristocratic family, Gong Cheng was a junior who was deeply loved by the leader of the Xin Kingdom. It was understandable that the Beimo Protagonist wanted 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... Maybe he will come back in the future."

Gong Shuwu: "..."

Gong Shuwu: "!!!"

He almost thought he was hallucinating.

"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 Bei Mo, or in the battlefield with swords, swords, and blood. How can he not know the situation over there in Bei Mo?

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 serious cases, he might even lose his life!

He was debating whether or not to confess his identity directly. He couldn't let Yunchi go to Beimo no matter what. As his second uncle, it was not like he couldn't support him! He just said: "Brother Yunchi, you——"

A thud.

A stone was thrown in from outside the courtyard wall.

This is followed by a very lame cry of "cuckoo".

The details of this chapter have been changed quite a bit, so it will probably take quite a few chapters.
