After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

When Gu Nanxi heard Boss Li's question, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then took out a compass from the secret compartment of the carriage.

"Of course!" Gu Nanxi handed the compass to Boss Li, "This is a replica made by the craftsmen. The original one was taken to Hangzhou by Su Yunting."

Boss Li held the compass in his hand with a confused look in his eyes. The huge surprise made him unable to react for a while.

When Master Dong and the others saw him coming back in a state of despair, they deliberately asked, "Boss Li, have you found a solution?"

"Well, if it doesn't work, let's wait a little longer. I don't believe that the rain will continue."

Another escort agreed: "Oh, you don't know, it rained for a month in Hezhong County one year! It didn't rain so hard every day, it was just a drizzle."

Escort Dong glanced at him and smiled at Boss Li: "Boss Li, please don't mind my brother not being able to talk. Although we encountered a civil uprising and accidentally got lost, our luck is not so bad that we have encountered a month of rain."

The escort from Dongting Lake had a sullen look on his face: "If this is not considered bad luck, then what is considered bad luck? I have been escorting for many years and have never encountered a situation like this."

The bodyguards were all trying to bully Boss Li.

The guards of the Marquis' Mansion couldn't bear to see this and wanted to step forward to argue, but they saw that Boss Li's mouth was getting wider and wider, almost to the point of exposing his back teeth.

Boss Li's eyes were sharp as he covered the small compass with his lapel to prevent it from getting wet by the rain.

He first looked around at everyone, then shouted loudly: "Don't worry, General Gu gave me a compass! Even without the stars, it can still guide us!"

The pupils of Master Dong and the others suddenly shrank. A compass?! What is this?

Escort Master Dong has traveled extensively and has seen a lot, but he has never heard of such a thing, so he questioned, "Boss Li, the compass you mentioned, are you talking about the Si Nan Spoon? I've seen that thing, and it's extremely ineffective when it's cloudy and rainy!"

There was no need for Boss Li to refute it personally, as the other guards were already unhappy.

"Master Dong, you just returned to Kyoto and don't know a lot of things. Have you heard about the immortals congratulating General Gu on his birthday?"

Escort Dong blinked his eyes. He had heard of it before, but this rumor was too outrageous.

He privately thought that this was just a means for Gu Nanxi to enhance his reputation, just like Kong Rong giving up his pears and lying on the ice to catch a carp, there were people behind the scenes pushing them!

"I've heard of that, but what does it have to do with the compass?"

There were bursts of laughter in the team.

Although they are all rough guys, who can't hear that these bodyguards are full of malice towards Boss Li?

In order to avoid internal strife, they turned a blind eye.

But Master Dong and the others must never be disrespectful to General Gu!

Knowing clearly that the compass was taken out by General Gu, they still dared to mock and ridicule him. What do they mean?

"Master Dong, this is a birthday gift from the gods to General Gu! It is said that this compass will not fail even in the vast ocean."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I suddenly have an idea! Could it be that the gods foresaw our current predicament and gave General Gu the artifact in advance? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"

"That makes sense. Si Nan has been around for many years, and we have seen it before. It is indeed not very useful."

"Oh, now that I think about it, General Gu is protected by the gods! What do we have to fear?"

Everyone was chatting animatedly, leaving Master Dong and the others in the air.

They couldn't interrupt, nor did they want to.

As soon as Master Dong let down the door curtain, his face instantly turned gloomy.

The escorts at the Dongting Lake took the discussion to heart: "Boss, it seems that Gu Nanxi has some tricks up her sleeve. Let's not cause any trouble and just listen to her."

Escort Master Dong took several deep breaths and when he saw the other brothers looked uneasy, he knew that his plan had completely failed.

"Okay, we're all paid for our work anyway. As long as they don't threaten our safety, we'll listen to them."

The next morning, the heavy downpour turned into a light rain.

Boss Li asked everyone to pack their luggage and get ready to set off.

Old man Geng, wearing a straw raincoat and driving a horse-drawn carriage, chatted with Boss Li: "Which direction are you going?"

If you go west, you can get out of Hezhong County and reach Xiazhou.

If you go east, you have to pass through Henan County and head north from Bingzhou.

"Of course we're heading north! We'll climb over the mountains and cross the rivers!" Boss Li said firmly.

Boss Li fumbled with the back of the compass, cherishing it like a treasure: "The master first said that the world is round, and then lent me the compass, which means that we should go all the way north to save time!"

Today is another day in which I admire Gu Nanxi to my heart's content.

"Who says that gods are heartless? I think gods can be divided into good gods and bad gods. Just like the master and her companions, they are good gods who care about us ordinary people!"

The team led by Gu Nanxi crossed mountains and rivers and rushed to the border.

The soldiers at the border were also looking forward to their commander.

As autumn approaches, the green grass on the grassland gradually turns yellow.

The deputy general stood on the city wall and looked around, all he saw was a desolate yellow. Suddenly, densely packed black dots appeared where the sky and the earth met.

The black crowd was like a long knife, splitting the sky and the earth.

The dust that was raised rolled in like a tide, marking the beginning of the war.

On the city wall, the soldiers were fully armed, staring into the distance without blinking.

The black and yellow torrent paused at the line between heaven and earth.

Gu Shisan, who was standing next to the deputy general, said: "It's getting late. At most, they will send a small force to harass us. We can still recuperate for another night."

The deputy general nodded and motioned for everyone to follow him to the tent.

A sheepskin map was hung in the most conspicuous place in the tent, which mainly showed the mountains, rivers and streams of the towns on the northern defense line.

The first line of defense consists of six towns, namely Woye Town, Huaishuo Town, Fuming Town, Rouxuan Town, Huaihuang Town, and Yuyi Town.

The second line of defense is Wuchuan Town.

Through these two lines of defense, the northern border can go south to Shuozhou and gallop across the Central Plains!

The deputy general and his men are in Fuming Town!

Although they are called towns, they are actually very large in area. Two or three towns are as large as a prefecture in the Central Plains.

It’s just that the border is sparsely populated, so it was designated as a town.

After the deputy general took his seat, Gu Shisan and other talents took their seats one by one.

Deputy General: "What military information can the scouts find out?"

Gu Shisan: "Huaishuo Town and Rouxuan Town have both discovered traces of the Northern Territory."

These two towns are located to the east and west of Fuming Town respectively. On weekdays, the six towns rely on each other to form a Great Wall blocking the northern border.

The deputy general was not surprised at all: "They are using an open strategy. They use a small force to tie down the two towns so that they cannot support us. It seems that this time, they have chosen to target our Fuming Town as the main attack direction."

"Who is afraid of who? We, the Gu family army, are not afraid of tough tasks!"

"I was afraid they wouldn't come! If we attack other towns, we'll have to get support everywhere. It's better to fight them head-on here!"

The deputy general was not afraid either. Since he had joined the army, he was prepared to die in the battlefield. However, the leading general was not yet decided, which was like a shadow hanging over his head, making him feel uneasy.
