Chapter 363 The Dark Side of the World

After all, it was a nighttime rush, so it didn't take long for the team to stop in Yaozhou, and Gu Huai'an and the Minister of Household decided to take a short rest next to the woods outside of Yaozhou, and Court Lady Gu also casually sought out a tree to lean against, while her eyes were constantly fixated on the disaster relief silver.

He mixed into the small soldiers inside the easy, those escorting the relief silver but the orthodox army, even if it is a break, but also watch in shifts, it seems that there should not be any problem, just do not know, these watching the relief silver among the people, there is no is deliberately arranged.

Chasing the clouds to see that Court Lady Gu's eyes had been staring at those soldiers guarding the ongoing camp, she hurriedly went over and poked her, "If you continue to stare at them like that, I'm afraid that others will mistake you for wanting to grab those relief silver taels."

It was only then that Court Lady Gu realized that her eyes were just too obvious and hurriedly withdrew them, "At least up until now, no one has made a move relative to the disaster relief silver, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."

Ever since Shen Qianshan was not by his side, no matter what he encountered, he had to think twice more, whether this matter was good or bad for him? Doing this now, will there be any risks or not? At times, even he felt so tired.

"No one has done anything, so it must be a good thing, it's been out of the city for so long, you must not be allowed to go back, Lord Gu, why don't you identify yourself yet?" Chasing Yun, even if he was a jianghu person, he had never traveled such a long way before, and to be honest, he was still a bit tired.

Court Lady Gu naturally saw Chasing Cloud's movements of rubbing his shoulders and moving his ankles, and hooked the corner of her mouth, "Well then, tomorrow morning, let's go into Yaozhou to buy a horse, and then we'll meet them by chance on the way, by the way, I need to get a new identity again, fortunately, I've brought a human/skin/mask with me."

Gu Huai'an sat beside the bonfire for a while, he really did not think that one day, he would enter the court as an official, if not for this Minister of the Ministry of the household by his side, he really did not know what to do now, he smiled bitterly, but his eyes never left the cart of disaster relief silver.

To be honest, Gu Huai'an does not lack silver, but this time, that load of silver, I do not know how many people's life-saving money, and even if it is himself, may not be able to immediately come up with so much silver, if someone wants to lay hands on himself, this disaster relief, is definitely an excellent opportunity.

"Lord Gu, why do you seem worried?" The Minister of the Household Department walked over to the campfire with a kettle in his hand, and before he could get close to Gu Huai'an, a strong odor of alcohol wafted over.

"Lord Song, I'm afraid it's not too good to drink during this official duty, right?" Gu Huai'an was always still on the defensive about this Song Yu, after all, above this courtroom, he didn't know how many people were Gu Linjiang's henchmen, eyeing those who didn't submit to them at all times.

Song Yu sat down, "It's still too cold at night, so have some wine to take the chill off."

The two people are not familiar with each other at all, there are not so many words to say, sitting quietly around the campfire, when the day is about to break, suddenly one of the guards screamed, "ah", there is no later, Gu Huai'an hastily get up, but because of the sitting time is too long, got up too violently, almost fell back again.

Song Yu flew to the soldier's side, and when he raised his hand towards Gu Huai'an, it was already covered in blood.

Gu Huai'an came to the side of the soldier, the back of the head was resigned a crossbow arrow, it looks like from the back of the woods inside the shot, hitching a ride on the nose of the position, that person has long been broken, the hand so steady, but also hours without a trace, but also really powerful.

Gu Huai'an alertly looked over in the direction of the woods, but suddenly met Chasing Cloud's line of sight.

"Crap, it's been discovered."

Gu Huai'an was about to walk over to ask questions when the sound of horses' hooves rang out again near the city gates, it sounded like there were quite a few of them, not only Gu Huai'an and Song Yu, but even the two people, Court Lady Gu and Chasing Clouds, raised their guard, "How could there be a large group of people in this place?"

Court Lady Gu had been preparing to sneak into the city and buy two good horses while it was still light out, but with the sudden death of a soldier and the sound of horses' hooves, the entire escorting army woke up, so there was no chance to sneak out.

Chasing clouds tugged Gu Qiang's court lady to hide behind a tree, quietly observing the men and women on the main road, Gu Huai'an's men and women were all on alert, the city gates opened and out came Bei'an's army.

Seeing the marching flag, Gu Huai'an was able to feel a little more at ease, and seeing that there were people resting on the road, Huang Hao stopped as well, and seeing the chaos ahead, opened his mouth and asked, "Where is this team going?"

Gu Huai'an recognized Huang Hao at the head of the group and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "General, it's me, Gu Huai'an, we're responsible for escorting the disaster relief silver to Zhenzhou, and we've had some minor problems on the way, so can we trouble the general to do us a favor and give us a ride?"

Huang Hao was quite chatty with Gu Huai'an when he was at the border, and as soon as he saw that it was Gu Huai'an, he also hurriedly rolled over and dismounted, "Mr. Gu, how did you take charge of transporting the disaster relief?"

When Gu Huai'an was worried that he didn't know how he should deal with this matter, he didn't expect that the darkness of the willows would lead to another village, which just happened to let him meet Huang Hao, "It's a long story about this matter, but we are now experiencing some trouble, and we still hope that General Huang can help us."

After Huang Hao understood what happened, he immediately nodded, "That's no problem, anyway, Zhenzhou is not far away, and we were supposed to be the army returning to the city, so we're not in a hurry to go back to resume our orders, hahaha ..."

Taking advantage of the pleasantries between the two sides, Chasing Cloud tugged on Gu Qiang's court lady and flew away, changing out of his armor before going around to the other side of the city gates, ready to go in and buy things so he could catch up with Gu Huai'an's army.

After Gu Huai'an and Huang Hao exchanged pleasantries, after looking towards the place where he had just seen Chasing Clouds, where were the shadows of those two people?

If it was Chasing Cloud, standing in that position, he might have been able to see exactly what had just happened, but he had just drifted off in a flash of concentration, so how could this Chasing Cloud have disappeared?

Song Yu's heart was slightly concluded, but since Gu Huai'an could find a stronger force to escort the disaster relief silver, of course he didn't have any objections, seeing that Gu Huai'an had been looking at the side of the woods, he thought that it was because he had just seen the person who had shot that soldier, so he hurriedly patted him on the shoulder.

"Lord Gu, what are you looking at? We're departing!"

Gu Huai'an and Huang Hao two people rode in the forefront of the team, with Huang Hao Gu Huai'an's mind is also slightly more stable, the two people walking together, it is inevitable that they will also sigh about Shen Qianshan, "It's just a pity that I have since then searched for such a long time at the border, and there is still no news of the king."

Huang Hao for Shen Qianshan, always admired, at that time, if not he stayed at the border to attract the attention of those Dongliang country troops, he would not be so smooth to gather the surrounding army, perhaps already died in battle.

"The man has passed away, so let's not reminisce, but when did the general have an additional fierce general by his side? How come I never saw it when I was in the military camp?"

As soon as Gu Huai'an recognized Huang Hao, he noticed this military general beside him, who didn't look like he was very strong, but his temperament was very unique, giving himself a sense of familiarity, and even feeling somewhat like a king.

"Speaking of this you don't know, at that time the king sent you back, is afraid of the ninth king's house will be out of something, just didn't think it seems to be a step too late, I heard that the ninth king's consort has been ... alas ... "

Although Huang Hao is a rough man, he also understands this feeling, "After Dongliang Kingdom retreated, I was temporarily stationed there, but I didn't expect that a month ago, an army suddenly raided us, it was also thanks to Feng Yao that we were able to suppress the other side, and I don't know what tactics the opposite side actually used? Surprisingly, they were able to see through a whole bunch of our loopholes, luckily Feng Yao proposed a timely improvement, so I directly promoted him to be my vice general, he's a very powerful person!"

When Huang Hao mentioned this Feng Yao, he began to chatter on and on, Feng Yao seemed to be very flattered by this praise, and with a smile, he greeted towards Gu Huai'an, "Lord Gu, this is your first time meeting, please take care of me."

"Report - there are two men following behind, saying they are Lord Gu's guards, and Lord Song says he doesn't know if it's true or not, so he's asking Lord Gu to go over and take a look."

As soon as Gu Huai'an heard this, he also realized that he hadn't been mistaken this morning, and that the person hiding behind the tree was indeed Chasing Cloud, "Alright, then General, I'll go to the back to take a look first, and the team will trouble you."

Chasing Yun told Court Lady Gu all about the fact that she had been taken by Gu Huai'an, and Court Lady Gu simply didn't want to continue to hide, anyway, she had already arrived here, and her brother wasn't going to let her go back now, was he? After the two bought a horse, they hurriedly followed.

Gu Huai'an rode on his horse, glanced at Chasing Cloud, then looked at the other person whose head was so low, and knew by the figure that it must be that good sister of his.

"It's so unlikeable."

"Master don't be angry, we just overslept, that's why we didn't follow up, it's not that as soon as we heard the news, we immediately rushed over." Chasing the clouds saw that there were outsiders, hurriedly found a random excuse to put it off, Gu Qiangcheng also slowly raised her head, this human/skin/mask was different from the one she usually carries, Gu Huai'an looked a bit awkward as well.

"That's just it, that's just it, if you two are ... ever again."

Song Yu saw that these two people were really Gu Huai'an's guards, and also hurried up to advise Gu Huai'an, "Since the people have already arrived, there's no need for Lord Gu to chastise the two of them, aren't we still in a hurry to catch the road? Two more people are also more convenient."
