Ah Zhong sneaked out through the back window, pretending to have stumbled into the place by mistake and chatted with the beggars.

  The reason why it is so easy to flatter is that these people are not beggars at all.

  No, it should be said that they were not beggars a month ago.

  They were originally villagers of Huangzhuang Village. Most of the people in the village had the surname Huang. Because General Gu had been guarding the border in the early years, they were not harassed by the Tartars. Although their lives were a little hard, they could still survive.

  Ever since General Gu was transferred away, their lives suddenly became difficult. From time to time, soldiers would come to extort money and food from you, asking you for all kinds of reasons. If you didn't give, they would beat you up.

  A month ago, these people went even further, snatching away all the chickens raised in the village, not to mention the food. There was a rumor in the village that the Tartars were about to invade, and the villagers, filled with panic, felt that they had no way to survive, so they rolled up their bedding and went out to beg on the street, begging while running, at least they had a chance to survive.

  Gu Jingyu opened his mouth, stared at Gu Jingze in disbelief, and said in a low voice: "Jiang Shoucheng, this old thief, actually allowed the underground soldiers to hurt the people!"

  Speaking of this person, Gu Jingze looked disdainful: "This is the first time I've seen someone with a pig's brain who can live this long."

  Gu Jingyu was a little stunned as he didn't expect his elder brother, who was always mature and steady, to show such an expression.

  Gu Jingze looked at his somewhat silly brother and felt that this expression on his handsome face was somewhat out of place. He raised his itchy hands and then put them down again, whispering, "The court will not send food and fodder, so he can only let his soldiers rob food."

  Gu Jingyu was a little angry. He opened his mouth to say something, but then he heard voices coming from Ah Zhong's side.

  Words like noble person...handsome...Jiang Xiong...free porridge... etc. kept popping up.

  Jiang Xiong??? Why does this name sound so familiar!

  Isn’t that the name of Jiang Chuchu’s grandma’s brother?

  Gu Jingyu pricked up his ears unconsciously and eavesdropped.

  After a long while, he looked at his elder brother and poked him with his finger, saying worriedly, "Maybe Ah Chu is here."

  Gu Jingze's eyes widened instantly. This place was so far away from the capital, and there was a war at any time. How could she, a woman, dare...

  Gu Jingze was almost pissed off at this bold brother-in-law. If something happened because of saving him, how would he explain to A Yu?

  "Let's go." Gu Jingyu called his eldest brother, and they retreated from the ruined temple. Before leaving, he hid in a corner and conveyed the news of retreat to A Zhong.

  Inside the inn.

  Jiang Chuchu didn't even dare to take off her coat, her spirit was tense all the time.

  The worries of the past few days made her feel suffocated.

  She made such a big fuss today and deliberately let her brother's name out. As long as Gu Jingyu gets the news, he will definitely come to find him.
