Rebel

After a while, Gu Ao got up to wash and wash, and asked left and right: "Has he left?"

Left and right replied: "Prefect Yu has already left."

Gu Ao said: "... When he left, did he say anything?"

It was heard that the waiter guarding the door entered the room and said, "Prefect Yu left without saying anything."

Gu Ao changed his coat, ate his breakfast, and said, "Call Chen Jiang over."

It took Chen Jiang a while to arrive, his face was covered with thin sweat, he obviously rushed back from the outside, and he called out as soon as he entered the door: "The King of Han..."

Gu Ao was sitting by the desk reading a book on the art of war, when he heard the sound, Gu Ao put down the bamboo scroll, raised his eyes and said: "These days, all the soldiers lost in this battle, the money and food spent, and the newly acquired horses, etc. Report the accounts...and start planning for recruiting recruits."

Chen Jiangdao: "Yes, Huben withdrew his army last night, and I took the Chen family with me, and I have been liquidating. They were busy until the morning, and I took a nap. Today, I went to the Tiefutu camp just after dawn. Almost all of them have been counted, and we should be able to make a general ledger tonight."

As he spoke, Chen Jiang paused for a moment: "This time the Rong invaded and destroyed farmhouses and farmhouses. They have already asked people to go down to check. For those who were homeless, the rebel army temporarily set up tents for them outside the city. , Many of them are young and strong, and they have nothing to cook in spring, and they are clamoring to join the army."

Gu Ao got up, walked around the room for a while, and asked again: "Did the former big clans in Yuyang County come to work in the army?"

Chen Jiangdao: "They're all here, and they've brought a lot of comfort items as rewards. I've already arranged for someone to receive them."

Gu Ao said: "Order it down, hold a banquet tonight, I will invite them personally."

"Yes." Chen Jiang replied.

Gu Ao was silent for a while, Chen Jiang glanced at Gu Ao cautiously, hesitantly said: "The King of Han said just now that this battle will damage the soldiers and the general ledger that consumes money and food... I want to ask, this time the prefect Yu returned. When guarding the middle of Guizhou, some armors were taken away, and some of those armors were damaged, do they count?"

Gu Ao stretched out his hands and flipped through the scrolls on the case, asking, "How much is it damaged?"

Chen Jiang sighed: "The ones that the prefect Yu took away from the guards at the pass in the south of Yuyang lost six to seven out of ten. After this battle, many wounded soldiers of the rebel army were directly recuperated in central Guizhou and never returned to the north."

Gu Ao frowned: "...that's it."

Chen Jiangdao: "However, Eunuch Yu brought another group of soldiers from central Guizhou, called 'White Feather Riders'. It is said that they were the personal soldiers raised by Eunuch Yu in central Guizhou, with 2 soldiers."

Gu Ao raised his eyes: "Did you see Prefect Yu when you came back?"

Chen Jiang said: "I've already seen it. He also asked me about the consumption of Yuyang in this battle."

Gu Ao asked, "Then how is his condition?"

Chen Jiangdao: "Prefect Yu's condition is not very good, he injured his arm, and it is still tied up to now, the blood seeps out of his clothes, and there is no color on his face."

Gu Ao asked, "When did you meet him?"

Chen Jiangdao: "It's just that we ran into each other when we came here. Eunuch Yu is sitting in the small study next to King Han to entertain guests."

Gu Ao asked, "What is he doing sitting there instead of going back to rest?"

Chen Jiangdao: "I asked the same question. Eunuch Yu said, stay closer to the King of Han, and call him when the King of Han is free, and he can rush over immediately."

Gu Ao was speechless for a while, and after a while he asked again: "...is he seriously injured?"

Chen Jiangdao: "Through the clothes, I can't see clearly."

Gu Ao said: "...you go and do your own business."

Chen Jiang answered "yes" before bowing and backing out.

Gu Ao sat alone in front of the case, not knowing what was wrong with him, he felt a stuffy chest, a little restless, he was thinking about it but he didn't want to see Yu Junfan.At this time Huai Xin opened the door and came in, with dark circles under her eyes, she said hoarsely to Gu Ao: "...Dian Xiaonan woke up!"

Gu Ao was slightly startled, then said: "That's great."

Huai Xin rubbed his forehead and said, "He asked me where his eldest brother is... the king of Han... go and see him?"

Gu Ao said: "I will go with you."

Gu Ao put on his coat and went out, Huai Xin hurriedly followed.When Dian Xiaonan saw Gu Ao, he was sitting on the bed serving people to drink rice soup, and he vomited it all up at once. Dian Xiaonan was wrapped in a quilt and rolled to the ground, crawled crookedly to Gu Ao's feet, and threw Gu Ao Ao hugged her legs, raised his head and said, "King of Han, where is my elder brother? I want to avenge my sister with my elder brother!"

Gu Ao knelt down and touched the little boy Dian's head: "You are a good boy with ambition! My king promises you that one day I will avenge your sister! It's just that your elder brother is still away, doing things for this king, revenge. , you can tell me directly, or you can talk to Mr. Huai."

Dian Xiaonan looked at Gu Ao with wide eyes: "Aren't you lying to me?"

Gu Ao said, "One word from a gentleman."

Dian Xiaonan said: "It's hard to chase a four-horse horse."

Huai Xin also bent down beside Dian Xiaonan: "...boy, your sister's matter is also my Huai Xin's matter."

Gu Ao reached out his hand to wipe the wet rice soup on Dian's boy, hugged him up, put him on the bed, and said, "Hurry up and build up your strength, and you will join the resistance army like your brother in the future, and kill the soldiers." man, okay?"

Dian Xiaonan nodded and said, "Okay!"

Gu Ao and Huai Xin walked out of the room, Huai Xin followed behind Gu Ao, suddenly heaved a long sigh, Gu Ao turned to look at him, Huai Xin was full of exhaustion, with sadness in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "...I didn't expect, My parents and wife were all murdered by the soldiers... I thought it would be okay to marry her when she grew up and I became more indifferent to certain things. She has a temperament like my mother, literate, well-mannered, and intelligent. , knows martial arts again, I will definitely fall in love with her and make peace with her. But I didn't expect...she disappeared all of a sudden. I feel sorry for her, she always wanted to save me in the end, but I always avoided her in the past ...I..." Huai Xin said, tears suddenly fell on his face, he wiped it off, but couldn't do anything.

Gu Ao didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he could only look at Huai Xin.

After a while, Gu Ao saw Huai Xin staring at the front in a daze, weeping non-stop, and couldn't help but said: "... I am incompetent, I didn't expect such a big mistake in this battle. From now on, it will definitely not be like this gone."

Huai Xin raised her tearful eyes: "...Brother Ao."

Gu Ao looked at Huai Xin: "It won't happen again."

Huai Xin took a step forward, grabbed Gu Ao's sleeve, and approached Gu Ao.Then Huai Xin suddenly stretched out her arms, embraced Gu Ao, and buried her face in Gu Ao's chest.

Gu Ao was stunned for a moment: "...you are afraid of heat..."

Huai Xin choked with sobs and said, "Ever since that time when I hugged my little girl, for some reason, I just..."

Gu Ao sighed and patted Huai Xin's head: "Okay... okay..."

At this time, Gu Ao suddenly felt a distant scene in his field of vision move. He raised his eyes and saw Yu Junfan standing in the distance, dressed in white, with only some blood oozing from the left side, watching this scene from a distance, his face as pale as blood loss .The moment their eyes met, Yu Junfan turned and left.
