The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 378 Meeting halfway

Huizhou and Jiangzhou are adjacent, and the group has been marching in a hurry since they left home.

Gu Yuzhi's pony ran so fast that it kept its hooves and followed closely beside Guard Zhang.

Although the horse is small, it is definitely not slow when running.

Gu Yuzhi was hunched forward, holding the reins tightly with both hands, but if you look closely, you can see that the finger joints of his left hand have turned white, while the condition of his right hand is obviously much better, indicating that he did not dare to use his full strength with his right hand.

Because of the speed, Gu Yuzhi's eyes narrowed slightly and his lips tightened, determined not to let himself be held back.

There are Jiangnan naval officers following behind him. He must not let these naval officers think that he, the young prince, is worse than Gu Yufan!

In order to fight for his breath, Gu Yuzhi never cried tired during the whole process of the hasty march.

Guard Zhang looked at Gu Yuzhi's tender and white face. He wanted to call for a break several times, but was dissuaded by Gu Yuzhi's tense face.

According to Guard Zhang's judgment, they should arrive in Jiangzhou in the evening. At that time, Xie Changshi will serve as an envoy to negotiate with the Jiangzhou prefect, garrison and others.

Although it has always been said that the envoys should not be killed if the two armies are fighting, but if the other side is determined to rebel, Xie Changshi's identity as an envoy will be very dangerous.

Guard Zhang was thinking wildly when he suddenly noticed the contrast. He tightened the reins and shouted, "Stop first."

Gu Yuzhi hurriedly tightened the reins, turned around and said, "Guard Guard Zhang, what's wrong?"

Guard Zhang didn't say anything. He turned over and dismounted, his ears close to the ground, as if he was confirming something.

Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up slightly when he saw this.

He heard Mr. Huo say that during a battle, the scouts would use methods such as vibrations on the ground to determine whether there were enemy troops ahead. If so, how many there were and how far away they were.

Gu Yuzhi was particularly interested in how to judge these things through vibration.

He wanted to learn, but never had the chance.

The most important thing is that even if he had the chance now, he couldn't do it.

After all, he is a prince after all. If he lies on the ground like Guard Zhang, his majesty as a prince will be completely gone.

Guard Zhang came back soon and gave Jiang Kangming a signal. Jiang Kangming turned around and whispered: "Move the horse into the jungle quickly, pay attention to concealment, and prepare the archers."

The meaning of the archer's preparation is obvious. If the people coming are Jiangzhou garrison and others, this will be a battlefield.

After everyone retreated into the jungle, Jiang Kangming sent people out to clean up the traces outside.

Guard Zhang took Gu Yuzhi and hid in the jungle. After discussing tactics with Jiang Kangming, he explained to Gu Yuzhi: "Your Highness, I heard that there are large troops ahead..."

He pondered for a moment: "About a thousand people are coming this way."

"Their steps were neat and tidy, and there was also the vibration of the horse's hooves, so I judge that it is likely that the Jiangzhou garrison came with someone."

Even the prefect of Yunzhou received the news that the emperor had issued an edict, and there was no way Jiangzhou would not know about it.

Speaking of which, Guard Zhang found it strange that Jiangzhou and Yangzhou could bear to take action until now.

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head, turned around and saw that Guard Zhang was half squatting on the ground, his figure hidden behind the thick grass, his fingers gently pushed aside a bit of the grass, and he looked straight ahead.

He didn't know what was going on, so he quietly compared the heights of himself and Guard Zhang, and then he was surprised to find that he seemed to have grown taller!

But he had to endure it until he went back to the house and made sure that he had really grown taller before he could say it. After all, it was a very serious time now.

Gu Yuzhi turned his head and looked at the weeds in front of him that were taller than him, and after thinking about it, he squatted down. He originally wanted to imitate Guard Zhang and quietly open a small gap to look outside, but he didn't expect that he was a bit short and the roots under the weeds were relatively thick, making the gaps between them extremely narrow.

As soon as Gu Yuzhi squatted down, his entire field of vision was blocked.

He held his chin with one hand and sighed like an adult. Wusheng and Wenshu said, "I'm still a bit short. If I were taller..."

He pointed to a little distance above: "Just squat down here."

Perhaps because she felt the tension in the atmosphere, Shu Xiaohan deliberately smiled very happily: "Little prince, didn't we tell you before? You are still young now, so you don't need to be so obsessed with your height."

Every time he meets someone, he whispers whether he will be so tall in the future, and I don't know why he cares about height so much.

Gu Yuzhi snorted and was about to speak when he heard the faint sound of horse hooves coming from ahead.

He hurriedly turned around and stretched his neck to look over there, but he couldn't see anything, so he could only stay in place and worry.

Not long after, a burst of dust and smoke appeared in front of them, and a large army was heading this way in an orderly manner.

Guard Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand slightly, and said softly: "Prince Qi, is the person leading the charge Jiangzhou Guard?"

Guard Qi confirmed for a while, then nodded and said, "That's him."

Upon hearing this, Guard Zhang hurriedly turned around and made a gesture, asking everyone in ambush to pay attention to concealment and alertness.

As soon as he gave the order, the archers fired their arrows first.

As the sound of horse hooves and neat steps got closer and closer, the atmosphere in the grass became more and more tense.

Even though he knew that his height could not be discovered, Gu Yuzhi still slumped his straight back, covered his mouth gently, and did not dare to take a breath.

He stared at Guard Zhang closely, and after a while he saw Guard Zhang slightly raising his hand. At this time, the archers had already fully drawn their bows.

As soon as Guard Zhang lowers his hand, these arrows will fly out, ruthlessly harvesting the opponent's life.

But in the blink of an eye, Gu Yuzhi seemed to have smelled the smell of dust, and he couldn't help but blink and lower his head.

In another blink of an eye, he noticed a strong wind passing by him.

It turned out to be Guard Zhang's hand, which fell heavily.

The sound of arrows piercing the air instantly disrupted the progress of the Jiangzhou guards and others.

As people kept shouting in pain, the Jiangzhou garrison hurriedly reined in the reins and shouted: "Back off, back off, there is an enemy attack!"

Damn it, he just said he couldn't leave for Huizhou at this time, it's all because of that idiot from the prefect!
There is enough food in the city. As long as they guard Jiangzhou City, everything will be fine until His Highness comes back!
Unexpectedly, the two idiot aides left behind by the magistrate and His Highness in Jiangzhou actually arrested his family and threatened him to send troops today.

He was robbed halfway, and he didn't know how many people were on the other side. Will his life end here?

The Jiangzhou guards waved their swords to block the arrows while retreating under the cover of the people around them.

As long as we are out of the encirclement, it will be fine!

As long as he gets out of the encirclement, he will definitely be able to escape back to Jiangzhou!

In the past two days, apart from helping with land reclamation and cleaning, the most important thing I did was to hunt for treasures in the yard.

There are a lot of shepherd's purses in the yard, super tender and fresh! ()
It’s time to make shepherd’s purse dumplings! ! ! (*^▽^*)
