Chapter 99 Attack
At the beginning of December, the southeast defense line was first completed, and Duanzhou and Liangzhou were far away from each other, and in the middle was the impregnable southeast defense line.

The winter wind made people's cheeks ache.

Biansha Kingdom attacked in the middle of the night, and Xiao Sanqian of Liangzhou saw through the trick. The two armies fought and won a great victory in the southeast. The enemy generals were beheaded and hung on the city wall as a warning.

This battle is almost famous in the southeastern states.

Many people's views on Southeast have changed in this battle.

In the middle of the month, Li Guo and Duanzhou, the first line of defense in the southeast, fought in Qinhe. Xu Jue personally led troops and captured the enemy's general alive among tens of thousands of people. The [-] army was defeated and retreated outside Qinhe.

The two wars were victorious one after another, and everyone in the southeastern states was in danger. After weighing and thinking, Qianxian County and the two nearby states surrendered, and the Southern Ming army cavalry went all the way east, sweeping the southeastern states and counties. Since then, the twelve eastern states have all been included The jurisdiction of the Nanming Army is dominated by Gu Jue.

So far, the world is set.

The carrier pigeon spread its wings and disappeared into the night.

The new year is about to begin.

The winter in the east is dry, Gu Mingzhu is wearing a cloak, the fire is strong, the water is gurgling and boiling, and the bright red cloak sets off her thinning face, giving her a peaceful, beautiful and lively appearance.

This kind of contradictory beauty has nothing to do with her.

Chuqiu and Yueyan entered with smiles.

"Miss." Chu Qiu was carrying a basket of green dates.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Where do you get the green dates in this season?"

"you guess."

Gu Mingzhu looked at her a little funny: "I guess, you stole it?"

Yue Yan chuckled.

Chu Qiu made a bitter face, and said: "Miss, you are more and more able to make me happy now."

She sat down, picked up the biggest ones and handed them to Gu Mingzhu: "It was sent from Duanzhou. It's a whole box, and it took several days to arrive."

"So it's Duanzhou..." Gu Mingzhu took a bite, it was a little cold, but it was very sweet, which she liked.

"Right now, the fruit is rare, and this Qingzao is only found in the south. You don't know where it came from, and I sent it all."

Gu Mingzhu squinted her eyes and smiled, "You are going to Duanzhou, how is the situation in the city?"

Chu Qiu said: "If you want me to tell you, the young lady sent me this trip, it was a waste of money, the young master is well-managed, and the people and common people in the Duwei's mansion obey him very much. When I left, the young master was listening to the military affairs of various states. , I don’t know how busy I will be.”

Gu Mingzhu nodded and stopped talking.

Things have been much easier recently, Chu Qiu recently found an opportunity, saw that she was in a good mood, and asked a lot: "Miss, when do you plan to marry the young master?"

Yueyan stopped biting the fruit, and looked at her.

Gu Mingzhu said: "...is this very important?"

Chu Qiu said: "Isn't this important?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "This is very good."

Chu Qiu shook his head: "Miss, we really can't figure out what you are thinking. Mr. Xu has followed you, and now he has nothing. You don't want to give him a title? Everyone knows about you, so we are waiting to call you Mr. What about master, otherwise it would be so awkward for Mr. Xu to shout like Mr. Xu every day."

Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes: "Didn't I order you to send the Tiger Talisman this trip, isn't that considered a status?"

"Tch... what kind of status is this?" Chu Qiu said: "In terms of spring banquets, the young lady is like the kind who recruited a small restaurant and left without paying any money."

Gu Mingzhu laughed: "You have learned to be glib from Chun Yan these days, haven't you?"

While talking, Huanhuan hurried in from the court: "Miss, it's an urgent letter."

The three of them looked at it. Gu Mingzhu took the letter, unfolded it, glanced at it, and handed it to Yueyan who was beside him. Chu Qiu also leaned over his head, looked at it for a while, and said, "Is Li Chao dead?"

Yue Yan said: "When Li Chao dies, between Li Sui and Yun Zhao, there must be a loser."

Gu Mingzhu's thoughts drifted away, thinking of the last scene of Yun Zhao's ascension to the emperor, his methods have always been ruthless, and he has been relegated to others for many months, I am afraid that he is looking for the right time.

"The new year is approaching, and the nomads in the north like to make troubles in winter. I'm afraid this year will be difficult for Li Guo."

Yueyan said: "They are not doing well, but we can have a good year this year. The city of Twelve States is peaceful and peaceful, and affairs are in order. After the spring, everything can be discussed."

Gu Mingzhu nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Liu Zige traveled to Liangzhou for me. Although he is a literati, he has profound knowledge and strategies. After the new year, I plan to let him enter the mansion. Before that , you need to identify the person first, and let Sanqian keep an eye on them."

"Yes."

On the second day, the Spring Banquet brought back good news. The rebel army headed by Han Shuo returned to the outskirts of Beijing.

After noon, Han Shuo met the legendary Gu Jue.

The young woman was wearing a crescent white brocade dress, with a big red cloak hanging beside her, and she was sitting at a desk reading a book.

The house was quiet inside and out, and the door was guarded.

The young man stood not far away, and replied respectfully.

When Gu Mingzhu heard the key point, she groaned and fixed her eyes on him: "What did you say? Do you have a way to communicate with people in the border sands?"

Han Shuo said: "Yes, we can use letters to make arrangements and catch them off guard."

Gu Mingzhu narrowed her eyes and said, "How do you communicate?"

Han Shuo took out an object from his sleeve and said, "Just rely on this object."

Gu Mingzhu didn't speak.

Han Shuo stepped forward.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that something was wrong, and when she was about to take a closer look at what it was, the brows and eyes of the man approaching suddenly sharpened, only a slight sound was heard, and the object in his hand stretched out sharp machetes from both sides.

Holding a knife in one hand, Han Shuo rushed towards her aggressively.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes startled, and she instinctively avoided it, but it was still a step too late.

The scimitar moved in a strange direction and cut a line on her shoulder.

Gu Mingzhu kicked over the table with one foot, papers were scattered all over the sky, she flew to the ground, and glared at the person in front of her in the flying papers.

Blood dripped from his shoulders, staining his white clothes red.

Han Shuo's eyes were red, and he shouted, "Go to hell!"

The sound inside the room has already alarmed the people at the door, and the guards entered after hearing the sound.

In the corner, Gu Mingzhu and Han Shuo were fighting together.

She couldn't reach the scimitar with bare hands, and she was at a disadvantage for a while, the wound on her shoulder was painful, she couldn't help but press her shoulder when she landed to avoid it, and the guards behind her had rushed to support.

Gu Mingzhu covered her wound and hid to one side.

Being able to be a bodyguard in the garden is naturally very skillful. Han Shuo was suddenly at a disadvantage. When he struck out with both swords, Han Shuo was seriously injured.

Gu Mingzhu suddenly said: "Keep alive."

The guard's sword turned around and stretched out his hand to grab it, but Han Shuo smiled ironically and forced the two of them back with his knife. He turned around, and suddenly put the knife on the side of his neck, and shouted: "I can't kill you, and I can't fall into your hands." Come on! One is dead."

Gu Mingzhu's gaze sank.

Han Shuo wiped his neck straight.

The assassination came suddenly, Han Shuo's body was quickly carried out, the house was cleaned again, and the doctor applied medicine to Gu Mingzhu's wound.

Before leaving, the doctor said: "The wound is not deep, don't see water for a few days, it will heal after ten days, and then apply plaster, and there will be no scars."

When Chunyan heard the news, she blamed herself and regretted it too much, but Gu Mingzhu didn't mean to blame him, and asked him to interrogate the people who followed Han Shuo to seek refuge, and the night passed like this.
