Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 36 Sudden
"Calculating the time, the defeated soldiers should have fled back to Lingzhou City. Are you sure you can trick the city gate into opening?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

Although he marched in a hurry, plus the time spent waiting for the troops, by the time he arrived outside Lingzhou City, six days had passed since the last battle.

After those defeated troops fled back to Lingzhou City, the defenders of Lingzhou City would inevitably step up their vigilance, and the chance of a successful sneak attack would be slim.

"Lieutenant Yuan, don't worry. The guard at the east gate has a good relationship with me. He doesn't know the news that I was captured alive. He will definitely open the gate and let me in." Nuershan said confidently.

Yuan Wenshao nodded and said, "If you can win Lingzhou City, I will ask Duke Ding to do it for you. However, you must not play tricks, or you will know what will happen."

He didn't particularly trust Nu'ershan, and it was appropriate to beat and beat.

Near the evening, the scouts who went to investigate the news came back one after another.

The information brought was not optimistic. Lingzhou City was heavily fortified, with a large number of garrison troops on top of the city, and soldiers constantly patrolling back and forth.

The scouts were afraid of being discovered and did not dare to approach.

Yuan Wenshao summoned several captains to discuss it, and it was planned that late at night, he and Peng Guang, the most skilled in martial arts among the captains, would lead about a hundred people, disguise themselves as Xixia soldiers, and go with Nuershan to deceive Kaicheng. Door.

There were not many soldiers who fled into the mountains from Nu'er Mountain that day, so they could not bring too many people.

These hundred or so people had to hold the city gate after cheating it open until the reinforcements arrived, so it was necessary to select the most elite soldiers.

"Go and select people. In addition, this place is not far from Lingzhou City. Soldiers are not allowed to light fires. They eat dry food when they are hungry. Tell the soldiers to be patient first." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Yes!" Peng Guang and others responded.

……

Yangzhou City

After Gu Tingye was kicked out by the Bai family, he understood the Bai family's plan after a little thought.

He wanted to go directly to the police, but he had nothing to prove his identity.

According to the law, married daughters have no inheritance rights, let alone grandchildren.

In the case of Mrs. Bai, it is reasonable for the family business to be inherited by the clan members.

However, if Mr. Bai left a will and wanted to pass on the family property to his daughter or grandson, that would be fine.

The specifics will depend on how local officials make the decision.

Although Gu Tingye had a letter from Mr. Bai asking him to inherit the family business, he was not a local.

The Bai family, with two and three bedrooms, has been established in Yangzhou for many years and must have contacts with Yangzhou officials.

Unless he can prove his identity, only in this way can Yangzhou officials have concerns and dare not take sides.

Gu Tingye thought about it carefully, and returned to the Sheng family again.

The recruiting team will leave tomorrow, and Yuan Wenchun is still in the Sheng family, but he is not here to find Yuan Wenchun.

Finding Yuan Wenchun can indeed prove his identity, but after Yuan Wenchun returns to Bianjing, he will definitely tell the matter, and the Gu family will know by then.

Gu Tingye came to the Sheng family, found a servant of the Sheng family, gave him some money, and asked him to inform Sheng Changbai.

Not long after, Sheng Changbai came out after receiving the news.

"Gu Erlang, Gu Erlang, it's in vain that I treat you as a friend, and you actually caused trouble on the day my eldest sister was hired? Do you still have the face to see me?" Sheng Changbai asked angrily when he saw Gu Tingye.

He got the news afterwards, but when he was going to look for Gu Tingye, Gu Tingye had already left the Sheng family.

Gu Tingye bowed and said: "I have some unavoidable difficulties, but I also regard Changbai as a friend, so I am here to apologize."

"The reason? What reason?" Sheng Changbai asked with a cold face.

Gu Tingye looked around and said: "This is not the place to talk. I booked a painting studio in Baobao Lake. Firstly, I want to apologize to you, and secondly, I want to ask you for help with something."

Baobao Lake is located in the northwest suburb of Yangzhou. It has beautiful scenery. There are many painting studios in the lake. It is quite pleasant to take a boat while admiring the beautiful scenery, drinking wine and chatting. It is considered a scene of Yangzhou.

Sheng Changbai had a good impression of Gu Tingye, he hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

The two of them arrived at Guanbao Lake. After boarding the boat, Gu Tingye sent all the people waiting on him off, explained the reason, and said: "I didn't know you at that time. I can't break my promise to others when I promise to others." Human. But I was already prepared to hold back at the end, but it turns out that your sister is really good at throwing pots. I was so excited that I almost forgot about it. Fortunately, it didn't lead to a big mistake. "

Sheng Changbai was a humble gentleman. It was really no wonder that Gu Tingye knew this. He said a little shamelessly: "I didn't expect that a noble family like the Yuan family would teach such a narrow-minded person. He even plots against his own sister-in-law."

When Gu Tingye thought of Yuan Wenshao asking him to send a letter to a maidservant, he nodded sympathetically and said, "Indeed, there is no good person in the Yuan family."

"Ah~, Erlang is being biased in this way. I heard from my father that my eldest brother-in-law has a good character and is honest and kind." Sheng Changbai shook his head and said.

"It's that guy who is the worst thing." Gu Tingye pouted secretly.

When he thought about sending that kind of letter to people, if someone found out, his reputation would be ruined.

But he was embarrassed to say such things in front of Sheng Changbai. After all, the two families were relatives by marriage. If he scolded his brother-in-law in front of his brother-in-law, Sheng Changbai would probably turn his back on him.

Gu Tingye simply changed the topic and started chatting.

Although Sheng Changbai is a literati, he is very concerned about military affairs.

Gu Tingye came from a lord's family and knew many things about military affairs in detail, so the two chatted very speculatively.

The previous grudges also disappeared.

"By the way, you said before that you asked me for help. I don't know what it is?" Sheng Changbai asked.

Just as Gu Tingye was about to speak, a waiter came over with wine and stopped quickly.

"The two masters have been waiting for a long time. This is the best rice wine. It is cold now. It is boiled on the stove. Drinking it is the best way to warm up."

Xiao Er smiled and put the tray on the table.

"Yes…"

Just as Gu Tingye was about to speak, he saw Xiao Er pull out a short dagger from under the tray, and swept it across his neck.

Gu Tingye was shocked. Fortunately, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He leaned back almost instinctively, dodged the blow, and kicked him away.

Just when Gu Tingye was about to get up, a dozen big men with long knives rushed over and slashed at Gu Tingye with their long knives.

Gu Tingye rolled over and dodged narrowly.

However, these big men didn't give him a chance to get up, and attacked again, and the danger was everywhere for a while.

Fortunately, Sheng Changbai finally came back to his senses, and threw the table in front of him flying, hitting some of the big men.

These big men could only retreat and dodge, giving Gu Tingye a chance to get up.

However, although Gu Tingye is good at martial arts, he is only 15 years old after all, and he has not reached the peak, and with his bare hands, he will not be able to support him for a long time.

In the face of the crisis, although Gu Tingye was a little flustered, he still remained somewhat calm.

These assassins all ran towards him, and only one person was sent to deal with Sheng Changbai, and it was obvious that the target was him.

He asked himself that he had not offended anyone in Yangzhou. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew that these assassins were probably sent by the Bai family.

Thinking of this, Gu Tingye shouted at Sheng Changbai: "Jump off the ship!"

After speaking, he plunged into the water.

Sheng Changbai happened to be forced to the railing by the assassin, and jumped off without even thinking about it.

These assassins looked at each other and jumped down.

The movement of this painting workshop has long attracted the attention of the surrounding painting workshops and the people on the shore. Not long after, a large number of officials and officials rushed over.

But at this time, both the master and the assassin were gone, and it was late at night, and the officials and yamen servants looked at the dark water and hesitated.

At this moment, a yamen servant saw a person floating on the surface of the water, and hurriedly shouted: "A thief has come out."

The remaining officials and yamen servants stared at the person who surfaced like an enemy, ready to strike at any time.

"Pull me up quickly." The man in the water spit out a mouthful of water and said.

A head catcher saw that the person in the water looked familiar, and when he looked carefully, he was startled: "This is the son of the general judge, hurry up and save him."

When the police officers heard this, several of them immediately jumped down and managed to rescue Sheng Changbai.

"Quickly, I have a friend who was hunted down by many assassins. I don't know where he went, so go find him." Sheng Changbai said hurriedly after a sigh of relief.

It turned out that just after Sheng Changbai entered the water, he went down to the bottom of the boat, and when he saw that there was no assassin chasing him, he stayed there until he couldn't hold his breath, and then he came up from the water.

The reason for this is not that he is afraid of death, but that his water quality is average and he cannot swim fast at all.

The fast-moving government officials did not dare to delay after hearing the order from Master Tongpan, and hurriedly asked people to find a boat.

　Thank you for the support of the monthly ticket for the trip to Sanxiang.

　　Someone said that the letter should not be kept. I thought about it carefully and it was true, and it has been revised.
