After being forced to marry the prince

Gu Baiji said frankly: "If the current behavior of the emperor and Chu Jun is followed, it will be a matter of time before Dazhao falls apart."

Chu Wu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "How innocent are the people!"

"The fact is already the case, don't think about it so much." Gu Baiji handed him the preserved fruit, "Are you full, can you eat some more?"

Chu Wu waved his hand and was about to refuse, Gu Baiji said: "You haven't eaten well this way, this tastes good, eat more, eh?"

Chu Wu had no choice but to take it, and said with a smile: "General, don't treat me like a child."

Gu Baiji immediately said: "My lord is unparalleled, how could he be a child?" Then he joked, "Besides, children are not as picky as the lord."

Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the group set off again.

However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw three people walking towards him.In this deserted village, it was a little unusual to suddenly see so many lively people.

When the three people saw Gu Baiji and his party, they were taken aback for a moment, then turned around and wanted to leave.

Gu Baiji was riding on the horse, lowering his head to talk to Chu Wu in the carriage, when he looked up and saw a few people, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The leader of the three seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said something to the two people around him. The two left quickly, and the person in front turned around and walked towards Gu Baiji.A guard wanted to stop him, Gu Baiji said:

"Let him come over."

Chu Wu got off the carriage, and together with Gu Baiji who got off the horse, walked towards that person.

The man was about thirty, tall and burly, with several scars on his face, he looked a little fierce, but his eyes were calm.

He was wearing a bag that looked quite heavy, but he moved nimbly while walking, and it didn't affect him. Obviously, he had good internal strength.

Gu Baiji took half a step forward to block Chu Wu behind him, subconsciously put on a protective posture, just now he looked at the man a few times, raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Excellency is the leader of the robbers who robbed the road before?"

As soon as this remark came out, the guards next to him went into a state of alert, but the man remained motionless, showing no sign of fear, he raised his hand to salute Gu Baiji, and said, "Under Zhao Zhi, I didn't know it was General Gu before." Your Majesty, what an offense."

Gu Baiji's eyes fell on the big burden on his shoulders, and he asked curiously, "Your Excellency, this is... robbing the rich and helping the poor?"

Zhao Zhi did not deny it, "I passed by here before, and I knew there was a village here, so I wanted to come and have a look, but unexpectedly, it was still a step too late."

As Zhao Zhi said, he looked around the crowd calmly, and saw that everyone was in a hurry, and he was slightly relieved when he saw that everyone was in a hurry.

Then he took a step back slowly, and was about to say goodbye, when he saw the well-dressed man with a noble face beside General Gu suddenly said:

"Is it you who sent the painting to the General's Mansion?"

Zhao Zhi was taken aback, Gu Baiji asked with a smile, "Why did you say that?"

Chu Wudao: "Your Excellency's appearance here is obviously not accidental. Our group is quite eye-catching, and we can see it from a distance. It is not difficult to avoid it. Your Excellency's behavior seems to be deliberately waiting."

More importantly, seeing that the group of them was not surprised or questioned, even after looking around just now, there was a bit of reassurance in their eyes.

When Zhao Zhi heard this, there was a moment of panic on his face, but he quickly calmed down and looked at Chu Wudao: "May I ask your surname?"

Chu Wu nodded, "Mian's surname is Chu."

When Zhao Zhi heard the surname Chu, his complexion changed instantly, and he took a step back calmly.

Gu Baiji saw his reaction in his eyes, his eyes darkened slightly, and he stepped forward again to put Chu Wuhu behind him.

Although Zhao Zhi's complexion was not very good-looking, he was quite stable after all, and asked again: "But His Royal Highness King Ke who is in charge of the General's Mansion?"

Since he has been to the capital, he knows that this is normal.

Chu Wu nodded, "Exactly."

Only then did Zhao Zhi relax.

"So?" Gu Baiji asked, "What is the purpose of you waiting for us?" What is the meaning of the third portrait? "

Zhao Zhi was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "You really noticed it!"

Chu Wudao: "You specially drew it, isn't it just to attract people's attention?"

Zhao Zhi shook his head, "It's nothing, I just want to remind you that this disaster relief may not be as simple as imagined, please take care of the general and His Royal Highness King Ke."

"Okay." Gu Baiji nodded indifferently, "Even if that's what you mean!"

Zhao Zhi cupped his hands and said, "I also ask the general and His Royal Highness King Ke to forgive their sins, and I will take my leave first."

Naturally, Gu Baiji had no reason to stop him. Seeing the person disappearing from sight, he turned his head and said to Chu Wu, "He is extraordinary in skill, courageous, and righteous. He is a character."

Chu Wuzhi was fascinated by his talent, nodded and said, "I just don't know if I'm used to the rules and regulations in the barracks after I have been in the rivers and lakes a lot."

Gu Baiji said, "It depends on his personal wishes."

The two returned to the carriage, Gu Baiji didn't get on the horse again, but sat in the carriage with Chu Wu.

Before arriving at the destination, seeing the starvation and starvation in other places under Yuzhou's rule, they originally thought they would see a desolate and desolate Yuzhou City, but the fact was beyond everyone's expectations.

The walls of Yuzhou City are very high, the gates are tightly closed, and there are no refugees outside the city that I have seen before.

From a distance, the whole city reveals a strange tranquility.

Gu Baiji led several people, and took the lead in riding forward.

Chu Yu asked strangely, "What's going on?"

Chu Wu shook his head, and told Chu Yu about the painting, "This Yuzhou has been full of weirdness from the very beginning, so we have to be careful."

Chu Yu nodded, and was about to say something when suddenly there was a heavy weight on the shaft outside the carriage. Then An Yu reached out and hooked the roof of the carriage, flipped off the horse and jumped over neatly. After sitting down next to the driver, he lifted the curtain and looked at the carriage. The two of them said:

"My lord, Your Highness the Eleventh, the general asked me to tell you that something is wrong with Yuzhou City, he should go and have a look first."

It was almost dusk when they arrived in Yuzhou, Gu Baiji originally thought that if the gates of the city remained closed, he would take advantage of the darkness and go directly into the city.

However, they didn't wait long when they heard the sound of orderly footsteps coming from inside the city gate, followed by a "crash", and the city gate slowly opened.

A man in the prefect's official uniform led a mighty group of people, hurried out, and after driving a few meters away from Gu Baiji and others, he bowed down and said:

"The next official, Liu Wangshan, see His Royal Highness King Ke, His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince, General Gu, then General."

Liu Wangshan looked around 35, his face was well-defined, with a bit of a fierce look, but because of the smile on his face, this kind of fierceness gave people a strange sense of sincerity.

Behind him followed a dozen neatly formed guards, who looked like well-trained soldiers.

Gu Baiji got off his horse, glanced over the group of people, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "The news of Taishou Liu is sensitive enough, I just remember that the imperial decree sent before did not mention anyone else, the two princes Before getting out of the carriage, Governor Liu will know who is coming."

"This..." Liu Wangshan suffocated, almost swallowed by Gu Baiji's words, and explained after a pause, "I just listened to the conversations of passers-by, and I know that the two princes care about the disaster victims, so they came together."

"Sure enough, there is a problem." Ze An Yu sneered and turned to Chu Wueran and said, "We met not many living people along the way, but quite a few died of starvation."

"Liu Taishou has a heart." Gu Bai kept his expression very calm, "It's Liu Taishou, Yuzhou City is not easy to enter, I just thought that I would sleep outside this city gate tonight."

This time Liu Wangshan knew that if he said too much, he would fail, so he was very flexible and only admitted his mistakes without defending himself.

"Isn't it the lower officials who are late to greet you? Please move the two princes and generals to the city and take a rest."

Although there are strange doubts everywhere in this Yuzhou city, since we have already reached the gate of the city, we must go in and investigate.

Liu Wangshan led the way, Gu Baiji followed, and the carriages of the two princes and the disaster relief team slowly followed behind.

Liu Wangshan explained that the current situation is difficult, almost all the inns and restaurants in the city are closed, and they can only prepare some rough board and lodging in the prefect's mansion, and hope that the two princes and generals will not be disgusted.

Gu Baiji only said that the purpose of coming here this time was for disaster relief, not for sightseeing, so everything should be kept simple.

Arriving at the main gate of the prefect's mansion, Liu Wangshan dismounted first, made a gesture of respect, and welcomed several nobles into the mansion.

After dismounting, Gu Baiji walked to the carriage, and stretched out his hand to help Chu Wu get off the carriage.

Chu Yu's bodyguard was holding the wheelchair. Without waiting for Chu Wu on the one side to reach out, Ze An Yu on the other side reached out and hugged Chu Yu off the carriage very naturally. Seeing that the wheelchair was not ready yet, he apologized and hugged Chu Yu Yu waited at the side.

Ze An Yu was tall and handsome, while Chu Yu was not naturally tall like Chu Wu. His appearance and physique were all in line with the Sun family. He was already about half a head shorter than Chu Wu, and he was still sitting all the time, making him even thinner .

Now being held in Ze An Yu's arms, the comparison is even more obvious.Chu Yu wanted to say something, but knowing her physical condition, too much entanglement would cause trouble, so she simply kept silent.

Fortunately, the wheelchair was finished quickly, so An Yu put the person on it, and was about to reach out to push it, when he was stopped by a long, white wrist.

"Let me come!" Chu Wu looked up at Ze An Yu meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Seeing Su, I'm going to bother you."

After speaking, pushing the person forward, Ze An Yu looked at the backs of the two, and for some reason, felt a strange guilt in his heart.

Chu Wu walked up to Gu Baiji's side, his eyes swept across Liu Wangshan who was bowing his head respectfully, and then he and Gu Baiji looked at each other, before saying to Liu Wangshan:

"Come here this time, I'm bothering you."

"My lord, you are welcome!" Liu Wangshan said, finally raised his head, and looked at the two princes in front of him.

This was the first time Liu Wangshan saw Chu Wu, and he fell into it completely with just one glance.
