Shan Jiefu said dejectedly, “Let’s dig the soil.” He rolled his eyes and said, “The general asked me to pass a message to Duke Ling. I’ll go with you now.”
He was going to investigate how strong the team was first and then survey the location of Bai Wutong’s tent to find an opportunity to kidnap her.
You Huaijie glanced at him and narrowed his eyes. “It’s not convenient for you to disturb Duke Ling now. When he wants to see you, I’ll send someone to inform you.”
Shan Jiefu hurriedly asked, ‘Why not?’
You Huaijie’s eyes turned cold. “How would I know about Duke Ling’s instructions?”
Seeing that the excuse to meet Duke Ling had failed, Shan Jiefu found an excuse and said, “1 like that Miss Zhao from your team. Can I take a look? Just a look?”
You Huaijie scolded, “Your duty is to lead your soldiers well, not to flirt with innocent women like a hooligan! If you dare to say another lewd word from your mouth, I’ll wash your mouth for you 50 times!”
Gu Chilie had never reprimanded Shan Jiefu like this. Shan Jiefu subconsciously raised his hand. Thinking of his plan for the night, he retracted his hand. “l was just making a casual remark. Then I have to pay my respects to Consort Ling, right?”
Shan Jiefu repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to see this and that. With Gu Chilie’s attitude, Shan Jiefu would not have taken the initiative to greet Bai Wutong at all.
There must be something strange going on. You Huaijie became even more
SUSPICIOUS.
He said to Shan Jiefu, ‘Wait.” Then he quickly returned and told Bai Wutong his suspicions.
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes, worried that her premonition would happen.
She said to Shan Jiefu, “Don’t give them food yet. Drag out their next move and send someone to investigate Gu Chilie’s movements.”
You Huaijie accepted the order. “Yes!”
Shan Jiefu waited and waited, but no one summoned him to meet Bai Wutong.
If they could not kidnap Bai Wutong, they would not be able to threaten Chu Tianbao. When the time came, their brothers would become the casualties.
Moreover, they were still far from the center of Bai Wutong’s tent. When they chased after them, Bai Wutong and the others would be able to escape into the mountains. In the current situation, it was really not appropriate to send troops.
Shan Jiefu quickly sent a message to Gu Chilie, informing him of the current situation and waiting for Gu Chilie’s next instructions.
Not long after the eagle spread its wings and flew into the sky, it was shot down by the dark guard.
After receiving the letter, he quickly handed it to Bai Wutong.
When Bai Wutong saw Shan Jiefu’s letter, her uneasy guess was confirmed.
Gu Chilie wanted to rebel!
And he had even tried to ambush them that night.
Even if all of their combined combat strength could temporarily resist Gu Chilie’s army, it would still cause a large number of casualties.
Everyone had come all the way here not to fight a war, but to have a better life in the future.
It was definitely impossible to fight Gu Chilie head-on.
In that case, he would give them an intermediate opportunity.
Bai Wutong narrowed her eyes and instructed You Huaijie, “Give them another job!’
You Huaijie instantly understood what Bai Wutong meant and quickly walked out of the tent to make arrangements.
After everyone received the notice, they panicked for a moment. Under You Huaijie’s methodical arrangements, they quickly calmed down.
That made sense. Even if they couldn’t win, they could still hide in the mountains.
Lin Yue informed Shan Jiefu that he would temporarily change roles to transporting seafood. His eyes immediately lit up and he immediately gathered his brothers to set off.
Before they entered the center of the tent, Shan Jiefu could not help but exclaim. The living conditions here were clean and tidy. It was much better than their run down place!
He sized up his surroundings, paying attention to the movements of the people around him as he searched for Zhao Lanzhi.
The moment he saw Zhao Lanzhi, sharp arrows shot at them from all directions. Shan Jiefu suddenly pulled out his sword and blocked them from left and right.
The other soldiers who could not react in time died on the spot.
The rain of arrows was still falling. Not long after, the ground was dyed red with blood.
The soldiers’ screams rose and fell. Bai Wutong watched coldly.
If they had not sensed Gu Chilie’s plan, they would have been the ones killed that night.
When Shan Jiefu saw his brothers fall one by one, he ignored the rain of arrows and shouted, “Charge, we’ll kill each one that we can!”
The soldiers who were not hit by the sword had just drawn their weapons when the dark guards flashed like phantoms and slit their throats.
Of the 5,000 people, only a few hundred remained in a short period of time.
Shan Jiefu had also been shot in the arm. He shouted at You Huaijie, “Come and kill me! Kill me!”
“Do you think you can escape if you kill me?”
“Even if you run away, you’ll still be rats hiding in the mountains in the future!’
“If you follow our marshal, we’ll be citizens of the Imperial City in the future, and good citizens at the feet of the emperor!’
“It’s all that dog emperor’s fault that you came all the way here to suffer. Don’t you hate him?”
He had grown a little brain now and knew how to sow discord.
When the commoners heard his roar, they looked at each other. Some of them actually felt that it made sense.
Wouldn’t it be good to follow anyone since it didn’t make a difference? It didn’t seem bad to follow an emperor.
Suddenly, Bai Wutong walked out of the crowd and everyone made way.
Bai Wutong said, “Even our own soldiers have to rely on us to dig for tapioca for relief so that they won’t be hungry. What good days can your Marshal bring to everyone?’
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had been wavering immediately retracted their thoughts of becoming citizens of the Imperial City.
That’s right. If they could not even support their own soldiers, how could they support ordinary people like them? They might as well follow Bai Wutong. Their future commitments could be seen, and everyone would definitely not go hungry.
As soon as Bai Wutong spoke, Shan Jiefu saw the fake Chu Tianbao beside him. He shouted at Chu Tianbao, “Young General, the Marshal is doing this for you! ‘
He tried to persuade Chu Tianbao.
Everyone suddenly looked at Chu Tianbao and suddenly remembered that Chu Tianbao was Gu Chilie’s son. If Gu Chilie’s rebellion failed and the emperor heard about it, Chu Tianbao would also be sentenced to death.
The fake Chu Tianbao had already come up with a solution. “Marshal Gu has already cut ties with me. His actions have nothing to do with me.”
Everyone came to a realization. That’s right. Last time, Gu Chilie took the initiative to cut ties with Chu Tianbao.
It shouldn’t implicate Chu Tianbao.
Shan Jiefu roared, “Even so, you’re still the Marshal’s biological son! Emperor Linghui will never let you off!
The fake Chu Tianbao still said, ‘Then I’ll accept it.”
Shan Jiefu suspected that there was something wrong with Chu Tianbao’s head. “Gu Chilie is your father, not Emperor Linghui. Do you think that if you become a prince, Emperor Linghui will treat you as his biological son?! Dream on! Don’t you think about yourself? Don’t you care about the pregnant woman beside you?”
When everyone thought of Bai Wutong’s execution, their hearts tightened.
If Chu Tianbao was the master of the southern frontier, it was not impossible for them to accept it.
The Youjia villagers could not bear it and said, “Master, we’re willing to follow you.”
The fake Chu Tianbao could not deal with it and could only remain silent.
Bai Wutong gave a look and an arrow flew out with a whoosh. Shan Jiefu fell to the ground and his mouth was sealed forever..
