Chapter 283 Returning to Ningzhou, the final plan...
Winter in Ningzhou is no different from any other day. If there is any difference, it is probably that it is quieter!
After all, it’s snowing heavily in winter, and every household is keeping warm indoors.
Ningzhou, located in the northwest, is extremely cold in winter. There are not many pedestrians on the streets. Even during the morning market hours, the most common people coming and going at the city gate are charcoal sellers.
After working hard for a whole year, people stay at home and enjoy the joy of the end of the year.
Gu Jingzhi and others entered the city early in the morning, which immediately alarmed everyone in the city, big and small. After all, this was Lord Gu who had saved Ningzhou.
Looking at the people who were gathered in groups and crowded together as if they were trying to keep warm, Gu Jingzhi felt a lot in his heart.
Their hands and faces were all red from the cold, but they still wanted to welcome him, the official who was their father.
The military report from the northwest was sent urgently over 800 miles and passed through Ningzhou earlier than Gu Jingzhi and others. Therefore, the news of the great victory in the northwest was known to the entire Ningzhou Prefecture.
The news that Gu Jingzhi was traveling to the border on a sled was not hidden from others. At least, there were still a few merchants in Daxia who were still heading to Ningzhou.
Therefore, after the news fermented for a period of time...
Lord Gu, holding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword bestowed by His Majesty, rode a sled pulled by a divine dog to the border. Like a god descending from heaven, he slew all the alien races, leading to this great victory at the border.
I have to say, this rumor was so terrifying that almost everyone in the city ran away.
Gu Jingzhi took a lot of effort to persuade the people to go back home.
Of course, not everyone welcomes Gu Jingzhi so much. At least, the people from Jin Lehuang are not happy at all.
This is not...
In a dimly lit room, Eleven stood respectfully outside the screen and said to the people inside, "Princess, we just found the location of the military pay, and Gu Jingzhi is back. Is it possible that our information has been leaked?"
"You're worrying too much about this..."
I haven't seen her, I only heard her voice. It seems like she doesn't want anyone to find her, not even her own people!
"We just found the entrance to the secret vault the day before yesterday. Unless Gu Jingzhi is a deity, how could he come back so quickly from this place to Ningzhou?"
"..."
Don’t people outside say that he is a god descended from heaven?
Eleven muttered to himself, but he also knew that this was impossible. However, the more critical the moment became, the more cautious he became, almost to the point of being sick!
Jin Lehuang didn't know what he was thinking, but when she thought of Gu Jingzhi, she couldn't help but say, "Gu Jingzhi is quite capable. He was able to come up with such a risky plan under such extreme circumstances, and he managed to pull it off. It's just..."
Eleven said silently: "Princess, although his strategy helped Daxia defeat the alien race, we have lost contact with all the people we stationed in the death row camp. What do you think is going on..."
"..."
Jin Lehuang felt somewhat helpless. She said, "This mission to the Death Row Camp is inherently dangerous. Even if they die, it's not uncommon. If you keep being so suspicious, it will only affect your judgment!"
"..."
Eleven was speechless. For something like this...shouldn't we have reasonable suspicion?
The princess seems to be too unvigilant lately.
However, how could he know that Jin Lehuang was not lacking in vigilance. Rather, if she could plant someone in the death row camp to contact Gu Huanzhi, how could she not have some means to plant other people?
Jin Lehuang had already received news about the situation of that battle.
Therefore, she did not doubt it too much.
Eleven was only a subordinate after all, and he didn't dare interfere too much with Jin Lehuang's decision. He could only ask, "Princess, we've already notified everyone hiding in Ningzhou. When can we get the military pay?"
"No rush. Although the location has been determined, the first mechanism is in the government office. We can't just go and attack the government office, right?"
Jin Lehuang said leisurely, "Go find a group of people who are good at earth manipulation and dig a secret passage directly to the inner door of the secret vault. Then we can take the military pay directly from the secret passage!"
Secret passages?
That's a good idea! But...how much time do we have?
When Jin Lehuang heard him ask, she immediately said, "We have to wait. Gu Jingzhi has just returned, and his wife is about to give birth. She will definitely not leave the government office easily. To be absolutely safe, we must not act rashly!"
Eleven nodded when he heard that.
When it comes to the finishing touch, it is most taboo to be careless, otherwise everything will be lost. After all, Gu Jingzhi has 6,000 troops under his command. Let alone these 6,000 people coming together, even if a few hundred people come, their plan will fail.
It’s exciting to think that as long as they have money in the future, they can establish their own power!
However, that is a matter for the future. For now, we should solve the problem of military pay first.
After Eleven got the answer from Jin Lehuang, he left the stronghold and gathered people to work!
……
The other end.
As soon as Gu Jingzhi returned to the house, he saw Chen Yu waiting at the door with her belly bulging. Gu Jingzhi walked up to her and said softly, "You're about to give birth. Why don't you rest in the house?"
Chen Yu smiled gently and said, "I'm in good health, so it's no problem for me to walk around for a while!"
"Be careful then!"
Gu Jingzhi took her hand and said, "There are other people hiding in the dark in Ningzhou. It's better to be safe than sorry!"
Chen Yu just smiled and nodded, then changed the subject, saying, "The Chinese New Year is just half a month away. Our family has found our eldest sister and second brother this year. I was thinking, why not bring our eldest sister, second sister-in-law, and a few children to our house to celebrate the New Year together?"
"This……"
Gu Jingzhi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "This is a critical moment, so it's better to keep everything as normal. We're not sure how many people Jin Lehuang has under his command. If the enemy finds out, it could pose a threat to Big Sister and the others!"
"Ok!"
Chen Yu nodded slightly.
It is unlikely that it would pose a threat, but if Jin Lehuang knew the relationship between the Gu siblings, she might cause other trouble. Her husband has many enemies in the court.
The reason she mentioned it just now was because she thought about how difficult it was for the Gu siblings, especially Gu Yunzhi, who hadn't seen his child for a long time.
As a woman, and one who is about to become a mother, she feels a little bit reluctant.
Gu Jingzhi also knew what his wife was thinking. He took her hand and said, "Everything will be fine in the future. Second brother has now escaped the status of a criminal and has been promoted to captain. Although he is only a low-level officer, I think he will achieve something!"
Chen Zhiyu was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Second brother got promoted?"
As a criminal slave, it was not easy to survive on the battlefield. I didn’t expect that Gu Huanzhi would be promoted.
She smiled and said, "I'll have someone pass the news to my eldest sister and second sister-in-law later. They'll definitely be very happy when they know!"
"Ok!"
Gu Jingzhi smiled and nodded, saying, "Not only that! This time when I went to the border, I completely grasped the spies that Jin Lehuang had planted at the border, and even killed some of them!"
"what?"
