Chapter 762: What's good about it
The news that bandits raided the prefectures and counties has actually been spread for a long time, and it has caused a lot of controversy around.
But not many people from all over Guzhuang took it seriously.
Originally, the village lived in a secluded mountain, quite far away from the county town. In the early years, there were more bandits around than cow hair. If the bandits were trembling in a fright, how could they live?
Although life is easy now, it is not easy to forget the past in just a short time?
Back then, the villagers in the village left home and had no way to return on the same day, so they had to prepare for them not to go back.
There is a village on this hill.
There is a nest on that mountain.
Today, the king's generals were pulled up and the horses were lost. He made a loud name and started a business without capital.
Tomorrow, another man named Li also brought a group of people to live in, so he relied on the mountains to eat, rely on the water to eat, and eat people to eat popularity.
The old patriarch did not even give any advice to the bandits these days. The villagers have rich experience in fighting the bandits. Every household quickly hid all valuables. The elderly who were unable to move away from the cellar, and then they should do what they should do.
It is because Gu Ji's guard team has a very outstanding record.
Gu Ji's people used to fight bandits as a pastime some time ago, and basically wiped out about two or three nests every day.
Those who have no blood debts, or send some travel expenses to return home, or arrange work, will never think of occupying the mountain and becoming king, and there is no other parody that can accommodate them. As for those who are cruel, they cannot survive at all, and the remaining ones who are seriously responsible, they will be punished as to what they should be punished.
The villagers of Guzhuang first cheered when they saw the Gu family's guards returning from suppressing bandits. Later, they became accustomed to this every day, but they just listened to the excitement.
After dinner, this is a pastime.
Now, let the villagers have any strong reactions to these bandits, uh, that would be a little bit difficult.
Gu Xiang turned the candle and opened the letter to read under the light.
The letter seemed to be a little hurried, with not smooth enough, and the handwriting was a little hurried, so Gu Xiang couldn't help but smile.
These days, she seemed to feel that Zhao Ying was closer than when she met every day. On the letter paper, she could not look at Zhao Ying with insight. Instead, she saw the real Zhao Ying from these words that seemed to be full of tricks, on the letter paper.
When he wrote the letter, he pretended to be careless, and Gu Xiang could see his subtle tension at a glance.
Every word he wrote was beautiful, the ink he used was specially made, and the paper was always dark and exquisite, with a faint fragrance.
Even today, he wrote this letter in a hurry, and subconsciously used the most delicate writing style to hide the sharp part of his handwriting. The envelope was probably scented with aromatherapy and pretended to be a letter, and the letter also had a sweet fragrance.
"Miss, I'm afraid something really happened. Let's... go."
Zhao Susu looked solemn.
Xiao Lingyun lowered her eyebrows and eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, but there was a sense of shock and pain in her eyes.
Gu Xiang folded the letter and put it in his box. He took the latest information from Zhao Susu. After reading it for a while, he smiled suddenly: "The person who wrote the documents in the Imperial City Department has infected our spies. Look at the information written, it seems like he is writing a legend."
Zhao Susu was nervous and had no intention of playing with laughter, but when she heard her little lady talk about this, she couldn't help laughing.
"I think it's clear that the little lady has led our people and polluted the elites of the Imperial City Department."
Speaking of the habit of writing this article at home as a legendary story, Zhao Susu and the others saw that the responsibility lies with his wife.
Every time the young lady reads various documents, she has to summarize them vividly in her own language. After she summarizes them, the straightforward content will immediately become vivid. A little bit of sorting out will be a good story. No matter how boring the things are, they seem to be interesting in the eyes and mouth of her young lady.
The so-called "the superiors have their own preferences" must follow it. The family members write documents more and more stories, and they are still trying to please the young lady?
Even Qiu Li now sees that if her little wife likes, the Duke An Guo of the Imperial City Department will not dislike it.
In front of Duke An Guo, everything about the little lady is excellent.
"It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. For the Wu Ge of Chazi of the Imperial City, the errand was more or less imperfect. If he had to be scolded, he had a sudden inspiration and wrote a melodious remark in imitating the little lady's brushwork and handed it to Duke An to read it."
Zhao Susu rolled her eyes when she said this.
"Duke An Guo really didn't scold him. He was not just a Wu Ge. This happened several times in a row. How clever are the boys in the Imperial City Department? I can guess the reason. Now those people write memorials and documents. Anything that is not that important and must be particularly rigorous, and they must write it with the posture of writing stories."
Gu Xiang: "..."
"Princess, please set off with your subordinates and return to Beijing as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Li Du's head hurriedly arrived, his face was ashen and sweat was seen on his forehead.
"I was ordered to escort the princess and the imperial envoy, and only Li was there. I will protect the princess' safety and rest assured."
Li Du's head's voice passed quickly.
Gu Xiang pondered silently, and only signaled Qiuli to open the door. He asked Li Dutou to come closer, and reached out and pushed open the map, opening the information from all parties to summarize it.
Now the county town is surrounded, and the bandits claim to be 80,000, but in fact, there may be more than 50,000, and the county government has garrisons of 13,400 troops.
Li Du saw the princess staring at the number of people, and wiped the sweat and said anxiously: "Our Yongyi Army has indeed 13,400 people. It is logical that the number of bandits is guarded by the city. Although there are more bandits, there is no chance of winning... But in fact, our Yongyi Army has just suffered a severe blow. Most of the soldiers who are now replenished are recruits, which is no different from ordinary people. However, these bandits are different. They are extremely fierce and well-trained, and their origins are very different. Last night, the other party raided and broke the city gate. There were still thieves in the city. They burned half of the city and destroyed food and salary. The day the city was destroyed, it was only a matter of time... I would like to ask the princess to set off as soon as possible."
Gu Xiang looked up: "Reinforcements won't arrive for a while."
"The bandits in the northwest Xia invaded the border, and I am afraid that when the court sent troops to rescue them, the Shouling might have been lost."
Gu Xiang nodded, she stood up and walked to the window, turned around and asked Qiu Li: "How many brothers are we in the Yongyi army?"
Qiu Li opened the booklet in her hand and looked at it: "There are 109 relatives and family members in Yongyi's army, and the original Yongyi's soldiers had 240."
Li Du looked at the princess blankly, not knowing what she was thinking for a moment.
