After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 245 He Just Went to a Brothel

After Yun Jiyu's reminder, Yuan Qi once again remembered the general's deliberate embarrassment towards them at that time.

The more important it is for a border guard to maintain his original intention, it is their instinct to make money anytime and anywhere.

Generally speaking, even if they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money, such as disaster relief grain, medicine, silver, etc., they would not dare to act at the city gate. Such audacity and brazenness...

They are really too bold, unless they are not afraid at all that the news will be reported back to the capital, or even reach the ears of Your Majesty.

In other words, they were very sure and confident that this news would never reach the capital, let alone let His Majesty know.

"...Okay, even so, how can we be sure that you are not in league with the Western Chu people?" Yuan Qi still had doubts in his eyes, "The relief supplies we are responsible for escorting, once they fall into the hands of the Western Chu people..."

It was also a big mistake for them.

"Unless you have something to prove your identity and prove that you are telling the truth."

Chu Er had a blank expression on his face, "I don't have anything to prove myself."

Yun Jiyou glanced at Yuan Qi, and after making sure that the other party was not deliberately making things difficult for Chu Er, he thought about it and told the truth.

"I can prove to him that what he said is true."

Yuan Qi raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

Yun Jiyou pondered and said, "He is the personal guard of the prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. There is no way he could be lying."

Yuan Qi was stunned.

Ah, the Duke of Zhongyong’s Mansion…the Crown Prince?

Isn’t that Yun Jiyu’s cousin?

"...Uh, oh, no wonder you said you believed him." Yuan Qi reacted and felt that he...had asked too many questions.

Yun Jiyou didn't say anything, just smiled. His gentle personality made him seem very easy to talk to.

This created a sense of disjunction compared to his previous decisive style of doing things.

Yuan Qi cleared his throat and asked the most crucial question.

"So what should we do now? As you said, Xianyang City has fallen into the hands of the Western Chu people, and the defending general Wang has surrendered. Even if there are only a thousand soldiers in the city, it will still be difficult for us to pass through."

Yun Jiyou also followed Yuan Qi and looked at Chu Er. There was the same question in his black and white pupils. Obviously, this... was what he wanted to ask.

He was not good at martial arts, and had no idea about the current situation in Xianyang City, so he could only ask Chu Er for his opinion.

Chu Er thought for a moment, "Would the general be willing to lend me some manpower? As long as we can recapture Xianyang City, passing the border won't be a problem!"

"How many people do you want to borrow?"

Chu Er said bluntly, "Three hundred!"

Yuan Qi, "!" You are quite good at asking for too much. He only has 500 people, but you asked to borrow 300 people right away...

His hesitant expression said it all.

Chu Er pretended not to notice and asked expressionlessly, "Are you having any trouble?"

"...No." Yuan Qi sighed, "Three hundred is three hundred, three hundred is still a big gap compared to a thousand people, are you sure?"

In fact, even after taking away three hundred people, he still held a pessimistic attitude towards Chu Er.

Although there are only a few thousand defenders left in Xianyang City, there is still a huge difference between defending a city and attacking it.

Especially since the tens of thousands of troops in the city were almost all pulled to the outskirts of Xi'an, as long as they delayed the capture of the city a little and gave the rebels a chance to catch their breath, they would be able to bring back reinforcements in at most an hour...

"You have to know that Xi'an is too close to Xianyang. Once the battle starts here, someone will quickly tell the rebel general in charge of the siege of Xi'an that it won't take too long for reinforcements to come back."

Yuan Qi paused, then spoke his mind, "I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want these three hundred people to die in vain."

Chu Er frowned slightly when he heard this. Perhaps Yuan Qi's final sincere words touched him a little, so his slightly frown relaxed for a moment.

"I will do my best and will not let them die in vain."

Yuan Qi asked, "...Do you need me to go with you?"

Chu Er looked at his cousin who had been silent, and refused without thinking, "No, we need people here too."

Both the young master and these relief supplies need to be protected.

Yuan Qi turned around and took a look, then understood what he meant. He no longer insisted on going with Chu Er, but nodded in agreement.

Obviously, this trust was not given to the stranger in front of him whom he did not know.

Instead, he went towards the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Regardless of whether they were in opposing positions or in different camps, there was one thing that Yuan Qi never doubted.

The loyalty of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate to the Great Zhou and their resistance to Western Chu.

Anyone could rebel and side with Western Chu, except those in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion.

As everyone knows, Marquis Zhongyong once killed two princes of Western Chu on the battlefield. Western Chu also used a strategy to ambush 50,000 troops in a canyon and successfully ambushed Marquis Zhongyong, who was only a deputy general.

It is said that he was hit by three arrows and his body was covered in blood. He led the remaining thirty people and fought his way out of a bloody battle until reinforcements arrived.

However, it seems that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery also suffered from his old illness, and became one of the first group of meritorious officials to resign from office and return home to be rehabilitated after Your Majesty ascended the throne.

For this reason, regardless of the hatred that Xi Chu had for Marquis Zhongyong, or the grudge that Marquis Zhongyong had with Xi Chu, it was impossible for him to rebel.

"Okay, I wish you a triumphant return." Yuan Qi thought about it and had nothing to say, so he only said these few words.

"Yes." Chu Er pointed to the three hundred people and told them to quickly change into regular clothes and take off their armor.

He didn't say the reason, but Yuan Qi asked it. Yun Jiyu said something to change the subject.

"Since he said that, he must have some ideas."

Yuan Qi: “…” Okay.

In Xianyang City, the rumors that Chu Er had spread before soon took effect.

As the people spontaneously surrounded General Wang's mansion and threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, etc. at the door of the mansion, the door of General Wang's mansion was tightly closed.

Not to mention General Wang himself, even the servants in the mansion did not dare to open the door and come out.

I was afraid that if I went out, I would be surrounded and beaten by the indignant people.

General Wang... naturally he didn't know that his mansion was surrounded by people, because at this moment he was in Chunfeng Tower, surrounded by beauties, looking very romantic.

For this reason, when he returned to the mansion gate in the carriage and saw this scene, he was so frightened that he sobered up and almost rolled off the carriage seat.

"Damn it, can you... drive? If not, get someone else!" General Wang fell down in a mess. Although he was the only one in the carriage behind the curtain, no one could see...

But he still felt extremely ashamed, and Lei Ting was furious about this.

The groom's voice outside changed, "Master, please take a look for yourself."

General Wang lifted the curtain with an impatient look on his face. He wanted to scold the coachman severely, but he saw...his house was surrounded by the people.

The people kept saying that General Wang was a traitor and that everyone should kill him. At this moment, the torches in their hands seemed to have turned into...sharp swords that could stab General Wang at any time.

General Wang, "???"

What are you doing?

He just went to a brothel and had some wine, why did he change so drastically?
