No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 493
After a while, the guard led a few people in.

The man in the lead was plain-looking, in his early thirties, and at a glance, he knew that he was just a messenger and could not do anything.

Cao Jie was a little disappointed, "Are you Sun Liang's subordinate?"

The man cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Exactly, the villain has seen Mr. Cao."

Cao Jie chuckled, stepped aside to let Wu Yi who was blocked behind him ask, "Then do you know who he is?"

When the man saw Wu Yi, he was taken aback for a moment before he quickly lowered his head and said, "General Wu."

Cao Jie looked at Wu Yi, Wu Yi shook his head and said, "What do you do under Sun Liang's command?"

The man said: "Back to General Wu, the little Sun Hu was originally the team leader under General Sun's command, and he was just promoted to be the former captain of the general's account recently."

"From team leader to captain? The promotion is fast enough." Cao Jie raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you related to Sun Liang?"

Sun Hu had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "It's just that I'm lucky to be in the same hometown as General Sun. Mr. Cao has learned a lesson. Previously... the Gaoyu people used us as cannon fodder and pushed us to the front to die. If the generals didn't see the opportunity quickly, I'm afraid the whole army would be wiped out. Although He escaped but lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Fortunately, the general collected a lot of soldiers and horses along the way, and now he is considered a strong soldier. The younger one was promoted by the general only because he was an old man under his command and had studied for a few days. "

"So, Sun Liang really has [-] troops under his command?" Cao Jie said.

As for how the [-] soldiers and horses came here, everyone just sees it and doesn't say it. It's not like the Cao family hasn't done that kind of thing.

Sun Hu respectfully said: "How dare you lie to Mr. Cao, it's just that our army is being chased by the Zhen Guo army now, and there is no fixed place to stay. Seeing that food and grass are getting scarce...please take me in, I will serve you."

Cao Jie thought for a moment and said, "Where is your General Sun now?"

Hearing what he meant, Sun Hu was overjoyed, and said: "General Sun is now stationed in Piao County, sixty miles away from here."

The Cao family said: "General Sun is willing to join the Cao family, and this son will naturally welcome him. Go back and tell him that if he joins the Cao family sincerely, this son will allow him to be a general and lead the army independently. In addition, this son will give him ten thousand dollars in gold." Two, as a meeting gift."

Looking at the joy and greed in his eyes, Cao Jie felt a little disdainful in his heart, but his face was still gentle, and he continued: "But..."

Sun Hu asked eagerly, "What else can you order, Young Master?"

Cao Jie said: "You must let me meet General Sun, right? Tomorrow evening, please General Sun."

Sun Hu hesitated, obviously not at ease.

What if General Sun came, and the Cao family turned out to be a black hand?
Cao Jie said proudly: "Don't worry, my son has important things to do now, as long as Sun Liang sincerely surrenders, he will never treat him badly. I don't even have the leisure to steal his soldiers."

That Sun Hu chuckled, cupped his hands and said: "The little one will tell General Sun, but he agrees..."

"You go back and report." Cao Jie said.

Cao Jie had expected the situation of those Yanzhou troops. It was easy to gather [-] soldiers and horses, but it was not so easy to get the food and grass to support tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Sun Hu nodded in agreement, wanted to say goodbye but couldn't help but glance at Wu Yi who was sitting beside him without saying a word.

Wu Yi looked up at him, and said calmly, "Since I have left the Yanzhou Army, I have no intention of going back. You can pass this on to Sun Liang."

"Yes, yes." Sun Hu repeatedly said yes, and then resigned with Cao Jie.

Watching him go out, Cao Jie turned around and asked, "Is this man's words trustworthy?"

Wu Yi said: "It is indeed a member of the Yanzhou Army, and there are no flaws. As for whether it is credible or not, there is no basis for it. The eldest son will send someone to investigate."

Cao Jie said with a smile: "My son will naturally send someone to investigate, but...don't you think it's a pity that General Wu gave up the Yanzhou Army like this?"

Wu Yi said calmly: "There is nothing to regret, everyone has his own aspirations."

Cao Jie raised his teacup to Wu Yi and said, "General Gao Yi, I admire you. Please rest assured, General. As long as my father can come back safely, the Cao family will never treat the general badly."

Wu Yi nodded silently, and picked up the teacup in return.

That Sun Hu left the tent of the Cao family and hurried all the way back to Piao County, sixty miles away.

The Yanzhou Army is currently stationed in the southern suburbs of Piao County, and some soldiers and horses are stationed in the city.

After entering the city, he went directly to the county government office in the city.The current county government has obviously changed hands, and there are several people sitting in the study waiting for him to return.

"Reporting to Princess Qi, Sun Hu is back."

"Let him in."

"My subordinates kowtow to the princess, kowtow to General Gu!"

Luo Junyao sat on the main seat of the study, and the person sitting next to him was Gu Jue, and the one sitting opposite Gu Jue was the ashen-faced Sun Liang.However, Sun Hu only saluted Luo Junyao and Gu Jue, turning a blind eye to the "General Sun" he kept saying before.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Excuse me, get up."

Sun Hu thanked and stood up, only to hear Luo Junyao ask: "What did Cao Jie say?"

Sun Hu said: "Back to the princess, Cao Jie explained that he wants to meet General Sun tomorrow afternoon. Besides... Wu Yi is in Cao Jie's army."

Luo Junyao and Gu Jue looked at each other. If Wu Yi was by Cao Jie's side, it would be a bit difficult.

Wu Yi's familiarity with these Yanzhou troops is definitely much higher than theirs, and he will see the flaws if he is not careful.

"Why did Wu Yi go to Cao Jie? Didn't he say he was in Bingzhou?" Luo Jun frowned.

Gu Jue rubbed his chin and said, "Qingzhou borders Bingzhou, and it's not far from Yannan. It's not surprising that Wu Yi went to Cao Jie's army, probably because of Cao Mian."

Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "Wu Yi is so loyal to Cao Mian? But, does Cao Jie really want Cao Mian to go back?"

Gu Jue said: "The current situation is not good for the Cao family, maybe Cao Jie really wants Cao Mian to go back."

Cao Jie clearly couldn't fully control the current situation, otherwise he, the eldest son of the Cao family, would not be in Qingzhou, why would he personally lead the army to attack Yannan?

Luo Jun shook his head and thought for a while before asking, "When will Qin Yao'er and Xie Xiao arrive?"

Gu Jue said with a smile: "Young Master Xie encountered a little trouble in Qingzhou, but with Yao'er's help, it's not a big problem. It should be here in a few days. What does the princess need to use them?" Do you need Qin Yao'er or Xie Xiao?

Luo Jun shook her eyes slightly, revealing a bit of cunning, she raised her head and told Die Ying who was standing by the side: "Send someone to deliver a message to Cao Jie, if you want to meet, the place will be set in three days, according to Tingyun who is thirty miles away Mountain."

Gu Jue reminded: "Princess, He Ruomuti is about to arrive in three days' time. If we meet by then, I'm afraid it won't look good."

If He Ruomuti only knew that they were the fleeing Yanzhou Army, it would be fine, but if he found that there were a lot of Zhen Guojun mixed in, it would be really ugly.

Luo Jun shook his voice: "Are you really planning to sneak into the Cao family? We originally planned to run away with one ticket. What's the difference between the Cao family alone or He Ruomuti?"

Gu Jue was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but touch his forehead.

It was so realistic that he really forgot.

No matter how flawless the clothes are, it is impossible for them to sneak into Cao's house.

"What does the princess mean?"

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "According to what A Yan said before, get rid of He Ruomuti."

Gu Jue thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but what if Cao Jie disagrees?"

"Then tell him, if he disagrees with us, we will turn north and surrender to the Zhen Guojun." Luo Jun shook his head.

After the discussion, the two looked at Sun Liang who was sitting on the side.

Sun Liang has suffered a lot in the hands of the Zhen Guojun these days. If he hadn't been useful, according to the Zhen Guojun's consistent attitude towards traitors, he would have been killed by now.

Seeing Luo Junyao's eyes sweep over, Sun Liang shuddered on the spot, "Princess, please tell me."

Over the past few days, what he was most afraid of was not the general Gu Jue, nor the other members of the Zhen Guojun, but this very kind-looking Princess Regent.

Luo Junyao smiled and said, "General, please write another letter to the Cao family. By the way, write a letter to Wu Yi too. How to write so as not to arouse suspicion. I don't need to teach you, do you?"

Sun Liang nodded again and again and said: "Princess, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely do their best and pay off their merits!"

"It's good to have this awareness." Luo Junyao nodded in satisfaction and said, "If you can help us succeed this time, it would be best if you can kill Wu Yi. What happened to you before..."

"Yes! Little one understands!" Sun Liang's eyes lit up.

He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to be tortured to death by the princess regent.

It was originally Wu Yi who brought them to this point, so it's no wonder he made trouble.

Sun Liang thought for a while, then whispered: "Princess, General Gu, the last general still knows something about Wu Yi..."

Luo Junyao and Gu Jue exchanged glances, this Sun Liang was really dishonest.

"Say it."

In a mountain forest a hundred miles away from Piao County, two people were walking through it in some embarrassment.

"Xie Shizi, can you do it?" Qin Yao'er said dissatisfiedly to the people behind while pushing the weeds in front of him with a stick to explore the way.

Compared with her, Xie Xiao looked even more embarrassed, he smiled helplessly: "I'm sorry, it's me who got Miss Yao'er involved."

He was so polite, Qin Yao'er felt embarrassed to lose his temper.

"Forget it, it's Gu Jue who begged me to save you, and I will definitely send you to the princess, don't worry." Qin Yao'er said.

Xie Xiao smiled bitterly. He accidentally leaked his whereabouts in Qingzhou and was almost caught by the Cao family.

Fortunately, Qin Yao'er arrived in time, and with the blessing of Qin Yao'er's superb disguise and poison skills, the two escaped from Qingzhou City in a bit of a panic, throwing off the eyes of the Cao family.

It's a pity that the two of them were not very lucky. When they went north to Yanzhou and ran to Jianling, the princess and General Gu had already left with their troops.They had no choice but to turn around and head south again, and accidentally encountered Gao Yu's remnants.The two were chased into the forest by a group of Gao Yu soldiers like chasing dogs, and their horses were gone, so they could only walk on two legs.

It was only then that Xie Xiao realized that he was able to travel around safely in the past few years, and it was really thanks to the peace of the world.

Otherwise, with his little ability, he is really inferior to a little girl in troubled times.

Qin Yao'er, a little girl who doesn't seem to be 15 years old, is much more powerful than him.

"What's wrong with you?" Hearing that there was no movement behind him for a while, Qin Yao'er turned around and saw Xie Xiao's listless look, thinking he was tired, "Why don't you take a rest?"

Xie Xiao quickly shook his head and said: "No, let's go on our way. It would be better to find the concubine and the others earlier. It's just that I have dragged Miss Yao'er down. I'm really sorry."

Qin Yao'er waved her hand and said, "Forget it, compared to those scholars, you are still much better. Boss Cui and I also know each other. We are all our own people, so you don't have to be polite."

Xie Xiao was taken aback for a moment, he looked up at Qin Yao'er's indifferent face, and said, "Miss Yao'er... knows Zheyu..."

Qin Yao'er blinked her eyes and said, "You want to marry Boss Cui, but Boss Cui doesn't want to marry you."

Xie Xiao smiled helplessly, what was he talking about to a little girl?
But I still couldn't help asking: "Miss Yao'er is by Wangfei's side, is there any news about Zheyu?"

Qin Yao'er immediately stared at him vigilantly and said, "I won't tell you."

"It's a slip of the tongue." Xie Xiao said.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Qin Yao'er couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, Boss Cui is better than you. I think Boss Cui's refusal to marry you must be because he thinks you are not good enough. So you have to work hard, wait She thinks you are very powerful, maybe she will agree."

"How do you know that it's because I'm not good enough?" Xie Xiao said.

Qin Yao'er took it for granted: "My lord and Yu Mingqiu are very powerful, General Luo and Prince Ancheng are also very powerful, so they have wives. You, Wei Changting, and Gu Jue are not powerful enough, so none of you Wife."

"..." sounds reasonable.

Just as the two were saying this, Xie Xiao's gaze down the mountain suddenly froze, he stared fixedly at a certain place down the mountain for a long while, and said, "Miss Yao'er, look down the mountain."

"What?" Qin Yao'er turned her head to look at the words, and it took a while to finally understand what Xie Xiao told her to watch.

Far below the mountain, countless people are moving forward quickly.

Because they were far away, at a glance, they could only see a long line of people moving.The two stared at each other for a long time before they recognized each other's identity, looked at each other and said in unison: "He Ruomuti!"

"Gaoyu people!"

A few days ago, they encountered a small group of Gao Yu people who were robbing ordinary people. The two couldn't help but were chased by the Gao Yu people.

Seeing such a large group of Gao Yu people now, Xie Xiao was thinking about the purpose of these people, but Qin Yao'er's new and old hatred directly rushed into his heart.

"Let's go quickly." Xie Xiao said in a deep voice, "I don't know where these people want to go and what they want to do. We need to find Wang Hao and General Gu as soon as possible and tell them the news."

Qin Yao'er said: "Can't we get rid of that one first?"

Xie Xiao said: "It's too dangerous, there are so many Gao Yu soldiers around him, it's important to report their whereabouts to Wang Hao and General Gu first."

Qin Yao'er felt a little regretful, but she also knew that Xie Xiao was right.

She has been in the Zhen Guo Army, so she naturally knows that it is not so easy to accurately pour poison on the commander-in-chief amidst thousands of troops.

"Then let's go, let's go down the mountain to find two horses, they are definitely not as fast as we are."

Xie Xiao nodded, put aside the melancholy that had just arisen in his heart, and quickened his pace to shuttle through the mountains and forests.
