Gu Xiao knew very well that the Yanbei army had strict discipline and he was just a man in white. Yu Lie did not want to say that even if he asked, he would not tell the truth about what he had just reported to Shan Bin.
When I was distressed, I heard another burst of crying. Looking for the sound, I saw a girl crying on the street corner. The cold wind had picked up at night, and the girl was already shivering from the cold.
This scene fell into Gu Xiao's eyes. Just when he was about to step forward, he saw that Yu Lie, who was walking in front, had already taken three steps and two steps at a time, approaching the girl's side.
If a normal stranger came near, the babies would be afraid of life and cry even more fiercely. However, the Yanbei Army usually treated the common people as family members. When the girl saw Yu Lie, who was wearing armor, not only did she not feel timid at all, but she stopped crying.
"Baby, why are you crying alone on the street?" Yu Lie picked up the girl, pulled off the large cloak behind her, wrapped it around the girl's thin figure, and asked softly, and the soldiers accompanying him quickly stepped forward and surrounded the girl. In front of the baby, he shielded him from the cold night wind.
"I..." The girl was wrapped in a cloak and blocked by the human wall, so she was no longer cold. She suddenly flashed her eyes and was about to answer Yu Lie's question. At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded, and all the soldiers looked back. , saw a woman looking around eagerly, walking quickly, and kept calling.
"Myolie! Myolie!"
The girl in Yu Lie's arms heard the call and hurriedly answered: "Mother! Mother, Myolie is here!"
The woman heard the child's voice and ran over quickly. Seeing the generals surrounding her, and seeing the cloak wrapped around the child, she immediately understood everything, her eyes were reddish, and she bowed to Yu Liefu.
"Thank you, General. The girl went out shopping with her daughter. Maybe the baby was playful and lost her for a while. It's all the girl's fault!" the woman said in her mouth. She rushed forward and took it from Yu Lie's hand. It was a good time to soothe the girl.
The girl was also strong. Seeing her mother's anxious look, she smiled and comforted her mother.
Seeing that the mother and daughter had been reunited, Yu Lie and the other Yanbei soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up quietly, and prepared to leave quietly so as not to disturb the reunion of the mother and daughter.
However, the sound of armor getting up reminded the girl of General Heshan. Seeing them preparing to leave, she hurriedly broke away from her mother's arms, jumped down, and caught up with Yu Lie and others.
"Sir General! Lord General!"
Hearing the call from behind, Yu Lie and others stopped and looked back, and saw that the girl had quickly caught up with her, holding something in her hand.
"General, please help me. I...I don't have anything to give you. This sachet was given to me by my mother, so I'll give it to you, General." The girl said, which did not mean she rejected her fiercely. Gu stepped forward and tied the small sachet to the silk ribbon that bound the armor.
General Yanbei's armor was very majestic, but when paired with the red sachet worn by the girl, it was extremely weird, causing all the soldiers to laugh loudly.
Seeing everyone laughing, the girl felt a little timid, and explained to Yu Lie in a childish tone: "My mother gave this to me. My mother told me that it can keep me safe. I...I think about the general." But to protect our benefactor, this sachet will also protect the general’s safety.”
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers were infected by the girl's childish and sincere words, and there was no more laughter and laughter. Although the sachet was ordinary, it was the people's heart. For these border officers and soldiers, this small sachet was compared to that Gold, silver, wealth and silk are more valuable.
Yu Lie thought the same thing in his heart. He caressed the girl softly and said, "I will accept your wishes. Go home with your mother quickly. Don't get lost in fun again."
The girl also imitated her mother and bowed slightly, but it was not a blessing. She almost stumbled and fell, which made all the soldiers laugh. The girl's face turned red and she hurriedly turned around and ran away. Her childish voice was heard in the empty street. It's crisp and sweet.
"Okay! Mr. Bearded General, you should also take care of yourself!"
Yu Lie looked at the retreating figures of mother and daughter, smiled happily and stroked his beard. He lowered his head to look at the concubine-colored sachet hanging on his waist. He couldn't help but think of the military situation reported today, as if the hundred thousand Jin cavalry were there again. If Yanbei is disturbed, these people will definitely fall into the pain of war again.
"No, we must not sit still and wait for death." Yu Lie murmured to himself, the smile on his face was gone, only the determination in his eyes remained, and he turned to the young man beside him as he composed his mind.
"Brother Mu, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Gu
Xiao Yi saw everything just now and was sure that Yu Lie was definitely not the treasonous general. He had already thought of words of persuasion in his heart. When he followed Yu Lie to the side, he was about to speak, but Yu Lie spoke first. Read the book
"Brother Mu...I shouldn't have made it clear to you about military affairs...but...Yu is a rough guy, and little brother Mu has a delicate mind...I wonder if..." Xu Shi didn't know how to tell the young man Asked for advice, Yu Lie hesitated and hesitated to speak.
Seeing Yu Lie's demeanor, Gu Xiao could already guess a bit of his thoughts. He pretended to be relaxed and asked with a smile: "Is the Northern Jin Dynasty coming?"
Yu Lie's expression suddenly changed. He originally wanted to ask for advice, but suddenly he became wary and asked in a deep voice, "How did you know about it?"
"Brother Yu, there is no need to be suspicious. Just now outside the Yunlai Inn, my brother's face was gloomy. General Shan sent me away again. I think what Brother Lai reported was related to the military. Just now, Brother Yu said something about military affairs. Based on my inference, except When the Northern Jin Dynasty attacks, what will happen that will make Brother Yu so worried?" Gu Xiao looked at Yu Lie and spoke softly.
After hearing the young man's inference, Yu Lie's suspicion disappeared. He secretly praised the young man for his careful observation. However, this was not the time to think about this. He sighed slightly and said: "Brother Mu, you really have a delicate mind... Your inference is good, indeed. It’s the Jin army that’s attacking.”
"I don't understand the rules of the army. Please help me clarify my doubts... Our Yanbei army is also stationed outside Yanbei City. What's more, the Jin army is marching for a long distance. Our army is waiting for work. Why should we be afraid?" The young man asked again. The words probed.
After Yu Lie had spoken, he decided not to hold back anymore and immediately whispered: "The Jin cavalry is unstoppable in the world. This attack is different from the past. Thousands of cavalry. According to the report from the scouts, this time the Jin army's cavalry came out in full force. , with a hundred thousand troops, the strength is not weaker than our Yanbei Camp... What's more, the commanders of all our Yanbei armies are in Yanbei City, and there are no generals, how can we resist?"
"How could it be such a coincidence?" The young man heard the worry in Yu Lie's words, and also heard some doubts behind the words. He frowned slightly and glanced at Yu Lie with his peripheral vision.
The word "coincidence" seems to hit the point of doubt in Yu Lie's heart.
yes! How can there be such a coincidence in the world? General Shan summoned all the soldiers of the Yanbei Camp into the Yanbei City to form a military order, and the Jin army had already entered the Qi Dynasty. When he reported the military situation just now, General Shan's words and actions were all evasive. In such a situation, there is no sense of urgency that the enemy is approaching.
Thinking of this, Yu Lie suddenly raised his head, the shock in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, and he murmured: "How...can this happen...impossible."
What Gu Xiao wants is for Yu Lie to be able to detect on his own that Shan Bin wants to betray Qi Yun. Seeing that Yu Lie is already suspicious, he immediately fills the flames with new firewood.
"What is Brother Yu talking about? What is impossible?"
Yu Lie's eyes were dull, he turned to the young man beside him, and murmured as if he had lost his soul: "Shan...Shan Bin wants to rebel!"
"Brother Yu, what did you say?" The young man felt a little relieved when he saw Yu Lie's expression. Based on Yu Lie's current state, he was able to conclude that he was not involved in this matter. He made up his mind and asked further.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Lie raised his hand to slap Gu Xiao on both shoulders. At this moment, Yu Lie frowned, and the chill on his face was a bit colder than the early spring wind in Yanbei City.
Looking back for a moment, Yu Lie issued a military order to his soldiers: "You will return to the camp in the city as soon as possible and say... Just say that General Shan has an order. From tonight, all battalions will go out to patrol the streets. No military orders are given and no rest is allowed." , Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
All the soldiers didn't know why, they were still laughing and joking just now. In just a short time, their general seemed to have changed. His expression was like that of a powerful enemy. They looked at each other for a moment. Although they didn't know why the general was like this, they still accepted the order in unison.
"Have an order!"
As all the soldiers left, Yu Lie saw that there was no one else in private, and he solemnly spoke to the young man: "Although Brother Mu is in the world, from the short time we have been together, I can feel that Brother Mu has family and country in his heart. I want to talk to Brother Mu about something, and I also want to ask Brother Mu for help."
Gu Xiao naturally knew what Yu Lie wanted to say, so he nodded in agreement without speaking.
"Although there is no evidence, according to my inference, Shan Bin...Shan Bin has evil intentions. No matter what his intentions are, for the sake of Yanbei's 100,000 soldiers and the people of this city, if he has no different intentions, then just in case... .We have to prepare countermeasures first, I would like to ask Brother Mu..."
Yu Lie knew that what he was asking for was extremely dangerous and might cost his life. It was completely different from the promise he made when he invited the young man to the city. When he said his request, he felt guilty and made the soldier feel guilty. The strong man's voice gradually faded, and he did not dare to look directly into the young man's eyes.
But what Yu Lie didn't expect was that the young man responded seriously without thinking: "Brother Yu, don't worry, if Shan Bin wants to rebel, I will definitely take off his head with one sword."
"Brother Mu's righteousness, please pay homage to Yu Lie." Seeing that the young man had already reflected him before he finished speaking, looking at those twinkling eyes, Yu Lie lifted his skirt and armor and was about to salute, but was held by the young man.
"Brother Yu..." The young man was about to speak for a moment, but he heard the sound of soldiers' armor hurriedly walking on the long street.
The two of them hurriedly collected their reputations, only to see a soldier walking quickly towards them. Gu Xiao couldn't help but look at each other, wondering if something happened again in the city.
"General...general!" The soldier rushed to Yu Lie, not caring to catch his breath, and knelt down to report the military salute.
Yu Lie knew the soldiers he led best. If it wasn't a huge emergency, he would never be so panicked. He let out a thump in his heart and hurriedly asked, "Report it quickly!"
"General! Just now, our generals rushed to the camps in the city. Before we sent the general's order, we learned that General Shan had already sent the order, ordering all the camps to stay away from the camp no matter what kind of noise they heard tonight. "Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed... I took advantage of the camp door to be open and sneaked out quietly. I came here to report to the general." The soldier reported in a panic.
"What is he going to do?" Yu Lie seemed to have not yet reacted, turning to the young man with doubts.
But he saw that the young man's face was solemn and terrifying, his sword-shaped eyebrows were already in the shape of the word "Chuan". He looked at Yunlai Inn and said slowly: "He wants to take action tonight."
"What? Tonight?" Yu Lie didn't seem to believe it, but he suddenly woke up when he remembered that he caught a glimpse of Shan Bin whispering with the distinguished guest when he left.
"I see. No wonder there are many swordsmen and axemen secretly hiding outside Yunlai Inn, and the death of the military captain was so mysterious... Brother Mu, how should we deal with it."
Gu Xiao thought for a while and thought in his heart: "Tomorrow is the day of military regulations. What is the reason for Shan Bin to take action in advance... No, those swordsmen and axemen got orders from Shan Bin. The day of military regulations is When we took action, it was not Shan Bin who was ahead of schedule..."
Watching the young man thinking hard, Yu Lie did not dare to disturb him, so he had to wait quietly. After drinking tea, he saw that the young man seemed to have recovered from his thoughts and spoke urgently to him.
"Brother Yu, do you still remember when Lu Jin entered the city?"
"I don't remember clearly when Lu Jin entered the city, but General Shan ordered the change of military regulations. It was the day after Lu Jin entered the city. We kept wondering why we had to change the previous routine, but General Shan was furious on the spot. , no one dared to say anything, and then when everyone retreated, I saw the figure of this person behind the screen of the General's Mansion." After the young man's prompting, Yu Lie finally remembered some clues, but now that he thinks about it, they all became suspicious.
After listening to Yu Lie's words, the young man finally determined that whether it was changing the military regulations, sealing Yanbei City, or attacking and killing the Yanbei generals, the person behind the scenes was Lu Jin, who Shan Bin said was the honored guest.
