Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 24 Abnormal Behavior

Gu Tingye rested his hands on the side of the boat, with a trace of expectation and sorrow between his brows, which was very complicated.

He has lost his mother since he was a child, and his father has always disliked him for some reason. He has worked hard to learn literature and martial arts since he was a child, just to express himself in front of his father.

However, his father's prejudice against him became more and more serious. Later, he simply broke the pot and wandered around the streets with fireworks every day.

Although his stepmother Xiao Qin was nice to him, she was still a stepmother. For some reason, although Gu Tingye respected her, he couldn't get close to her.

Gu Tingye didn't know that he still had relatives alive until he received a letter from his grandfather some time ago, and he wished he could fly to Yangzhou immediately to meet his grandfather.

But his grandfather said in the letter that he should find a way to go to Yangzhou as soon as possible without attracting the attention of anyone in the Ningyuan House.

For some reason, Gu Tingye didn't have any doubts about this grandfather who had never been masked before. He thought of many ways, but he finally rejected them.

Until he learned that Yuan Wenshao was engaged to the Yangzhou Tongsan Sheng's family, he managed to get acquainted with Yuan Wenshao and asked him to agree to accompany the ship.

Gu Tingye told his family that he was going with him to join in the fun, and since he deliberately caused some trouble, his father also wanted to let him go out to avoid the limelight, so he agreed.

When Gu Tingye learned that he still had a grandfather alive, he felt something was wrong while being happy.

Since my grandfather is alive, why have I never contacted him for so many years, and no one has ever told him.

Gu Tingye started investigating secretly when he became suspicious. He did not dare to ask his father. Since he was a child, his father would get angry whenever he asked about his mother.

Gu Tingye could only investigate through the servants in the mansion, but he didn't get any information.

Maybe after meeting grandpa, you can get the answers.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The sound of footsteps interrupted Gu Tingye's thoughts. Gu Tingye turned around and saw Yuan Wenchun walking over.

"Erlang, it's cold now and the wind is strong on the top of the ship, so you should be more careful." Yuan Wenchun said with a smile.

"Thank you Brother Yuan for reminding me, but I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, so a little wind is nothing." Gu Tingye said lightly.

"Haha, I forgot about Erlang's martial arts skills in Manbianjing."

Yuan Wenchun exchanged a few pleasantries and said, "By the way, I have something to ask Erlang for help."

Gu Tingye frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Erlang, my Yuan family is in decline. My younger brother can't find a suitable family, so he can only marry a small family like the Sheng family. The Sheng family is small, and there may be lack of education. It caused trouble." Yuan Wenchun said.

Although Gu Tingye was only a young man, he came from a Hou family after all, and messy things were not uncommon.

As soon as Yuan Wenchun said it, he understood Yuan Wenchun's purpose, which was nothing more than to save the face of his future sister-in-law's family, so that he could be more careful in the future.

"How can I, an outsider, help with this kind of thing?" Gu Tingye shook his head and refused.

He had no friendship with Yuan Wenchun. He had some sympathy with Yuan Wenshao after their previous martial arts competition, so naturally he did not want to get involved in these matters.

"Erlang is the best polo thrower in Bianjing. All he needs to do is win the jackpot." Yuan Wenchun said with a smile.

Generally, when a distinguished person entertains guests, they will prepare some entertainment activities for the guests to play.

Women watching plays and men throwing pots are indispensable entertainment activities.

Usually this kind of activity is just for fun, and the outcome does not matter.

But in this kind of recruitment, the man who comes from the man's side will not win the first prize.

Not only will the guests not think that the man is incompetent, but they will think that he is humble and polite.

The same goes for the woman when she sends her bride off, she won't steal the man's limelight.

"I'm afraid it's hard to bring trouble to the Sheng family on such a happy day." Gu Tingye shook his head and refused.

"Don't worry, you are the son of Marquis Ningyuan, and you are not very old, so the guests won't think too much about it." Yuan Wenchun laughed.

Gu Tingye didn't believe Yuan Wenchun's nonsense at all. If the guests didn't think too much, why did Yuan Wenchun come to him?

He just wanted to use his identity to make a fuss so that the Sheng family would not dare to fall out.

Just as Gu Tingye wanted to sternly refuse, he suddenly thought of something and said, "I can help you, but I hope you don't publicize my identity."

Gu Tingye was somewhat skeptical about this sudden appearance of the grandfather. He planned to go to Yangzhou to investigate secretly before making any plans.

And with Yuan Wenchun's character, in order to save face for the Yuan family, he would probably publicize his identity when he arrived in Yangzhou.

A legitimate son of the Hou family, who came to accompany the offer of employment, would undoubtedly bring a lot of credit to the Yuan family.

Although he felt sorry for Yuan Wenshao by doing this, he had no choice but to do this in order for Yuan Wenchun to keep his secret. At worst, he would show some mercy when the time came.

Yuan Wenchun hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, Erlang, don't worry, I will inform the entourage and will never reveal your identity."

He did intend to promote Gu Tingye's identity to honor the Yuan family, but in comparison, it is more important to disown the Sheng family.

Anyway, in a place like Yangzhou, the Yuan family's signboard is enough.

……

"Report!"

In the meeting hall of Minshan Fort, Sun Qi summoned Yuan Wenshao and Cheng Deyuan to discuss how to keep all the Xixia army outside the city.

If all these people can be left behind, not only can Lingzhou City's military strength be reduced, but there may even be a chance to blow open the city gate without Lingzhou City's defense.

However, at this moment, a soldier ran in while shouting and saluted: "To inform the Duke, the soldiers and horses in the Xixia military camp are dispatched to Minshan Fort."

"What!" Sun Qi was stunned and said, "Is it possible that Xie Luo is not dead?"

This Xixia army is a lone army. With the death of its general, it is a bit mysterious to not retreat but now to attack the city.

That's why Sun Qi wondered if Xie Luo was still alive.

He didn't think Yuan Wenshao dared to lie, but the camp robbery was at night after all, if Xie Luo found a substitute, and it was a chaotic time, it's normal for Yuan Wenshao to admit his mistake.

"Duke, my subordinate dares to issue a military order. After my subordinate threw his spear last night, the person who pierced through it was definitely Xie Luo." Yuan Wenshao said solemnly.

After he crossed, not only his strength became stronger, but his eyesight also became very good.

On the top of the city yesterday during the day, he had carefully looked at Xie Luo's appearance, and he was certain that the one he saw last night was Xie Luo.

Unless Shero has a twin brother who looks exactly alike.

Sun Qi said: "I have no intention of doubting you, but it's too weird for Xixia to not retreat but to advance. Let's go to the city head first and have a look."

"My lord, do you want to send more people to mount the city wall?" Cheng Deyuan asked.

After the reinforcements arrived, Sun Qi was worried about scaring away the Xixia army, so he did not send more troops to the city.

Sun Qi shook his head and said: "Go and check the situation first. You can mobilize soldiers and horses to gather in Xicheng and wait for my order."

"Yes!" Cheng Deyuan responded, bowed, and then left to mobilize his troops.

Sun Qi took Yuan Wenshao to the top of the city.
