The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 484: Heaven-defying Jiaojiao (Part 2)

After the war, Lingguan City was devastated. There were more soldiers than civilians on the streets. From time to time, innocent civilians could be seen being taken away for no reason.

Gu Chengfeng reminded himself repeatedly that he was a big thief, and the life and death of the people had nothing to do with him, but when he really saw these things happening before his eyes, the blood in his body still surged angrily.

He tightly clenched his fists, and it took a lot of effort to resist the urge to kill those Chen Guo soldiers who bullied the people.

He cannot expose.

Not yet... not yet...

"Find an inn!" He turned around, afraid that if he took another look, he would rush over.

"Okay." Gu Jiao nodded calmly.

She seemed indifferent to everything, and the life and death of others seemed insignificant to her, but she traveled thousands of miles to a dangerous and bitter place because of what she called a fool and her brother.

Gu Chengfeng suddenly felt that he couldn't understand her.

The two found an inn nearby.

There were traces of being ransacked in the inn, and the shopkeeper's face was covered with shocking slap marks. As for the clerks in the inn, they were injured and painful, and their eye sockets were red and swollen.

They were helping up the stools that had fallen on the ground, but there were no other guests in the inn. It was unclear whether no one stayed in the inn at all or they were all scared away.

Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng came to the counter.

The shopkeeper cheered up and looked at the two, his voice trembling after sobs: "Are the two guests eating or staying at the hotel?"

Gu Chengfeng said to the shopkeeper: "Give us a room, and if there is food, it will be delivered, and if there is no food, forget it."

"You two, please follow me." The shopkeeper held back his grief, took Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng to the second floor, pointed to a room that was considered clean and tidy, and said, "This is the upper room of our inn. In the evening, two meals are included."

"One, one hundred Wen?" Gu Chengfeng suspected that he had heard it wrong.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Does the guest officer think it's expensive? Then it's okay to give the guest officer a little cheaper, just eighty yuan."

Gu Chengfeng opened his mouth and said, "That's not what I meant."

One hundred Wen is really too cheap, they have never stayed in such a cheap inn along the way, they still go to the room and include two meals.

"One hundred pennies is one hundred pennies." Gu Chengfeng couldn't bear it, and he didn't pay the price to kill the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper said gratefully: "Thank you, guest officer, the little one is going to prepare food for the guest officer, but the guest officer may wait for a while."

Gu Chengfeng understood what he meant,

Those soldiers ransacked the inn, even the good things in the kitchen, and they had to go shopping again.

Gu Chengfeng had mixed feelings in his heart.

Gu Jiao should eat and sleep, she seems heartless, without the slightest trace of worry or pity.

Gu Chengfeng looked at someone who was sleeping soundly on the bed holding a red-tasseled gun, and the corner of his mouth twitched!

How could a little girl have a bigger heart than this man!

After dinner, the two were ready to go.

The two put on night clothes and masks, and were ready to go.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Chengfeng opened the door, it immediately closed it again.

"Is someone here?" Gu Jiao asked.

Gu Chengfeng's throat twitched, he collected himself, and said, "It's Chen Guo soldiers, a large group of troops."

A large group of people meant dozens of people came, and they filled the lobby of the inn almost instantly.

For a moment, Gu Chengfeng suspected that he and Gu Jiao's whereabouts were exposed, but fortunately, the group sat down directly in the lobby, and it seemed that they just came to the inn to eat and drink.

Gu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that he was afraid of these soldiers, in a real fight, he could deal with them by himself, but if there was a real fight, it would be bad to disturb the heavy soldiers of the prefect's mansion.

The wing had no windows, so they could only wait for the soldiers to leave.

The group of soldiers didn't know that other people lived in the inn, and they thought it was all their own people here. They didn't have any scruples when they said it, but they let Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng hear something terrible.

It turned out that Tang Yueshan's "handwriting!"

The son-in-law put Princess Ning'an under house arrest, and the old Hou Ye asked Tang Yueshan to borrow some archers to sneak into the princess mansion to rescue Princess Ning'an, but Tang Yueshan rejected the old Hou Ye on the grounds that he wanted to send troops to suppress the rebel party.

Old Hou Ye had already noticed something was wrong, and reminded Tang Yueshan that things might not be so simple, so don't rush forward.

Tang Yueshan believed that the old Hou Ye was trying to prevent him from making meritorious deeds, so he refused to listen to the old Hou Ye's advice, and insisted on launching a night attack on the remnants, but fell into the trap of the other party.

The remnants of the previous dynasty and Chen Guo's army attacked back and forth, and finally Tang Yueshan was defeated and Yecheng fell.

Chen Guo's army won the first battle, and their morale was high. On the other hand, Zhao Guo's local army saw that the generals of the world's soldiers and horses were defeated. Naturally, there was not much morale to resist. Lingguan City and Beiyang City were easily taken by Chen Guo's army.

Gu Chengfeng said angrily: "If Tang Yueshan had listened to my grandfather, my grandfather would not have been arrested, and the frontier city would not be so easy to lose!"

If his grandfather hadn't been captured, no matter whether his grandfather and Tang Yueshan joined forces to fight against the enemy, or his grandfather led the army to meet the enemy after Tang Yueshan's defeat, the frontier fortress would not have fallen so quickly.

Gu Chengfeng frowned suspiciously: "Tell me, could Tang Yueshan do it on purpose?"

"What on purpose?" Gu Jiao asked.

Gu Chengfeng said coldly: "Deliberately defeating the army, let my grandfather be arrested! As the saying goes, like a son, like a father, he can give birth to a vicious and perverted son like Tang Ming, which shows that he himself is not a good person." I don't know where he learned the truth about Tang Ming's murder, and he hates our Gu family!"

Tang Ming bullied Gu Yan, and was violently retaliated by Gu Jiao, and Gu Chengfeng also participated. If Tang Yueshan knew the truth, he would indeed have a reason to extend his revenge towards Gu's family.

Gu Jiao paused and did not speak.

Judging from the information disclosed by the group of soldiers, Tang Yueshan disappeared after the defeat, and now they are hunting Tang Yueshan everywhere, wanting to see people alive and dead bodies.

The more Gu Chengfeng thought about it, the more he felt that Tang Yueshan was suspicious. Even the defeat of the army seemed to him very likely to be a plot by Tang Yueshan: "He is very happy, if he loses the city first, and then takes it back, let him His Majesty saw how difficult it was for him to fight this battle, and when he returns to the capital, he will get double the reward and the Sacred Heart."

Gu Jiao tapped his shoulder.

Gu Chengfeng was analyzing Tang Yueshan's excitement when he was suddenly interrupted, and he was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Gu Jiao pointed downstairs: "They're gone."

Gu Chengfeng opened his mouth: "Okay then, let's go too."

Gu Jiao glanced at him and said, "You can continue talking when you come back."

Gu Chengfeng choked: "I don't really want to talk! I'm a man! Why are there so many words!"

The man who didn't talk much, chatted with Gu Jiao all the way on the way to the prefect's mansion.

Gu Jiao: "..."

The prefect's mansion is heavily guarded, but it is not too difficult for Gu Chengfeng who can come and go freely under the eyes of Longyingwei.

He sneaked into the mansion with Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao took out the coquettish peacock feather mask and put it on.

Gu Chengfeng: No, is it still meaningful to cover your face now?

The two of them didn't know where the old Hou Ye was being held, Gu Chengfeng decisively grabbed a soldier over, Gu Jiao gave him a dose of drug, and the soldier fell asleep directly.

Gu Chengfeng looked at her needle: "..."

Your medicine doesn't work every time...

Gu Jiao put away the syringe and said without changing her face, "Find it yourself."

Gu Chengfeng snorted: "How can I find such a big mansion? Do you want to find Tianliang?"

Gu Jiao clapped her hands lightly: "I've searched for Prince Ning's mansion, and I'm afraid of a mere eunuch's mansion."

Gu Chengfeng said disapprovingly: "Then how can it be the same? There are only a few storerooms in Prince Ning's mansion, and they are all in his and Princess Ning's yards. The front of the prefect's mansion is the government office, and the back is a private house. I don't even know how they locked up my grandfather. Where. It may be a firewood room, it may be a dungeon, or it may be a secret room..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jiao smoothly pushed open the door beside him.

That is a wine cellar, used to store fine wine.

Gu Chengfeng raised his forehead and shook his head. This kind of place is hard to find, and it is not a good place to hold hostages at all.

He glanced casually, and then he froze.

"Grandfather, grandfather?"

That old man with shackles on his hands and feet, bruises all over his body and fainted on the ground was his grandfather, who else!

Gu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment: "You, how do you know that my grandfather is locked up here?"

Gu Jiao spread her hands: "I don't know, I just look for it."

The corners of Gu Chengfeng's mouth twitched, what kind of luck is this girl! This can also be touched by her!

What about finding the dawn?

And he thought of a hundred ways to avoid the reconnaissance of Chen Guo soldiers! Uh? Useless? !

Happy New Year.

May we all ride the wind and waves in 2021 like Jiaojiao!
