Chu Tianjiao sent Feng Gui and ten personal guards to southern Henan to investigate the situation of the rebels.

As soon as the arrangements were made, a servant came to report that the second young master had arrived.

When Chu Tianjiao heard that Chu Minyu was coming, he hurried out to greet him.

Chu Minyu has already entered the back house of Zhou Mufu.

Because the weather was too hot, the green robe he was wearing was soaked through, and his hair was wet and stuck to his plump forehead. His almond-shaped eyes, which were very similar to Chu Tianjiao's, showed exhaustion.

"Sister, please hurry up and get some water for me to wash up with. The station is short of water all the way here. Your brother and I are going sour!"

When Chu Minyu saw Chu Tianjiao's figure, he shouted from a distance. He was afraid of smearing Chu Tianjiao and refused to let Chu Tianjiao get close.

Chu Tianjiao immediately arranged for someone to take Chu Minyu to the nearby yard to wash up.

After half an hour, Chu Minyu sent someone to call Chu Tianjiao.

Looking fresh and fresh, he comfortably brushed his lake green Hangzhou silk summer shirt, stood up and walked to the door of the study to meet Chu Tianjiao, pulled her over, raised his hand and gestured on the top of her head, and said with a smile:

"Sister, I noticed that you seem to have grown a little taller?"

Chu Tianjiao's height was originally only medium-to-high, but she also felt that she had grown a little this year because of her diligent martial arts practice and internal skills.

"Second brother, I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant, why didn't you stay with her in Shangjing for a while longer?"

"How can I stay at home all the time? As soon as I heard that Ganzhou was hit by a disaster, my father wanted to kick me out immediately and ask me to come to Ganzhou to help you.

If your sister-in-law wasn't having a good pregnancy and her grandmother wasn't worried and insisted on me staying a few more days, I would have come long ago. "

"How is sister-in-law doing now?"

"It's better. I was able to eat something before I left.

As soon as your sister-in-law regained her energy, she began to gather those noble ladies from your Qingsong Society to prepare donations of money and materials to the victims of the Ganzhou disaster.

I told her, what use can you make?

She refused to listen. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have told me to come to Ganzhou to help you resettle the victims. "

Chu Tianjiao heard that although Chu Minyu was complaining, his tone was full of doting on Wang Xingran. Thinking that their relationship was very good, he felt relieved.

Chu Minyu talked about the quelling of chaos in Yuzhou.

“Sister, dad said it’s best for the Chu family to stay out of this matter.

The sword of the Chu family army cannot be stained with the blood of the people.

Your Majesty originally wanted dad or me to quell the chaos.

Dad pretended to be sick and was fooled.

Then he sent me to Ganzhou overnight.

But Dad said that the reason why the people in southern Henan rebelled must be because there was something wrong with the disaster relief food.

We haven't had a civil uprising for many years since Yang Dynasty.

If Feng Zhixia can't solve it, His Majesty may let our Chu family army go.

Dad wants you to think carefully about how we can shirk it when the time comes. "

Chu Tianjiao understood Li Yanghou’s dilemma.

From the day the Chu family army was founded, the first generation of Marquis Liyang left military regulations. The swords of the Chu family army must not be stained with the blood of civilians in Li country.

In all these years since leaving the country, no major civil unrest has occurred, and there is no need for the Chu family's army to be dispatched.

But this time the civil uprising in southern Henan was huge.

If Feng Zhixia couldn't solve it, the emperor would definitely ask Marquis Liyang to send troops.

At that time, will Marquis Li Yang send his troops or not?

Chu Tianjiao said: "Second brother, don't worry, Feng Zhixia will definitely be able to deal with those rebels.

On the contrary, I was afraid that Feng Zhixia would regard the victims as rebels and kill them all together. "

Chu Minyu was shocked: "How dare he?"

Chu Tianjiao said disdainfully: "For military merit, some people will do anything.

They dare not kill the Xirong people, but their swords are faster than anyone else in killing the common people.

I have sent people to southern Henan to check the true number of rebels.

If the rebel army does not have 5 people, I will take people to southern Henan to rescue the victims. "

Chu Minyu still couldn't believe that someone dared to do this.

Chu Tianjiao felt that this possibility was very likely based on his understanding of Feng Zhixia in his previous life.

"Second brother, don't worry, Fenggui and ten of my personal guards have already gone to southern Henan.

If possible, they will fly pigeons to send messages back.

When the time comes, we will dispatch the light cavalry. Go and come back quickly. "

"As a prefect of Ganzhou, if you show up in Yuzhou, you won't be able to justify it, right?

If something really happens, I'd better go. "

“This matter will be decided upon Fenggui’s summons.

Second brother, I recruited [-] new soldiers from the victims and trained them on the Northern Wilderness Prairie.

These [-] recruits cannot be known to the imperial court. I don’t worry if someone else takes them.

How about leaving it to you? "

When Chu Minyu heard this, he was a little surprised, but the last time the imperial court recruited troops, Chu Tianjiao secretly recruited five thousand more soldiers.

He knew that his eldest sister had an idea.

If Chu Tianjiao asked him to take care of him, he would just take care of him properly.

"Okay, I'll go to the grassland in two days." Chu Minyu agreed neatly.

The brother and sister had dinner together.

The next day, Chu Minyu wanted to visit the iron-making workshop in Wusheng County, and Chu Tianjiao sent someone to take him there.

Feng Gui is the one with the highest martial arts among the twelve martial maids of Chu Tianjiao, except Feng Jia and Feng Yi.

In addition, Fenggui is also smart, so Chu Tianjiao prefers to send her out to do things.

Feng Gui and others rushed to Yuzhou. Along the way, ten houses were empty, and people died of hunger everywhere.

It is said that the Ban army has captured the three county towns of Xinyang, Nanyang and Zhumadian. Fenggui and others went all the way south and reached Nanyang County first.

Fenggui asked five personal guards to hide in the mountains with their horses.

He and the remaining people put on tattered clothes, disguised themselves as Guanzhong refugees, and approached Nanyang County.

The gates of the county town were closed, and rebels could be seen patrolling the city.

The city wall of Nanyang is not high, so Fenggui asked people to shout in Guanzhong dialect below the city wall:

"Sir, open the door. We are fleeing from Guanzhong.

I heard that there are rebels here, and we want to join the army. "

The rebels patrolling the city wall took a look at Feng Gui and others. They felt that there were not many of them, so they shouted: "Wait a minute, stand there and don't move!"

After a while, the city gate opened a crack.

A shirtless man wearing a red scarf came out and looked at Feng Gui and others.

Feng Gui and others wore make-up so that their faces were sallow, and their bodies were deliberately hunched. The big man glanced at their faces and sighed: "Tsk, tsk":

"Are you stupid? Haven't all the people in Guanzhong fled to Ganzhou? Why are you fleeing south? Yuzhou is worse than you in Guanzhong.

Looking at you like this, you haven't eaten for several days, right?

Forget it, fellow countrymen, come in. "

Feng Gui approached the big man and asked, "Brother, what do you call me?"

The big man saw that although Feng Gui's face was yellow and dirty, his eyes were clear and lively. He felt good in his heart and said boldly:

"Just call me Brother Yong. Sister, why did you think of joining the rebels?"

Feng Gui pretended to be angry and said: "I can't live anymore. I heard that the rebels killed those dog officials who were just a prey to the common people. We also want to kill the dog officials."

Brother Yong was delighted when he heard this: "Sister, you are ambitious. I heard that the imperial court has sent troops to strangle us. Are you afraid?"

Feng Gui said: "It's all death anyway, if you can kill a few dog officials and then die, it's worth it.

These are all young men in our village, and they all have the same thoughts as me.

Brother Yong, our village once had a bodyguard who taught us some martial arts. How about you let us follow you? "

Brother Yong tried the skills of several people.

Feng Gui and others showed a little bit of their fists and legs.

Brother Yong was greatly impressed and accepted it happily: "Okay, you guys can follow me from now on!"

Several people reported their random names and recognized the eldest brother.

After entering the city, Fenggui found out that Brother Yong was actually a leader of the rebel army, and together with an old man named Fang, he was responsible for garrisoning Nanyang County.

The county magistrate had been killed by the rebels, and the county government officials were imprisoned.

Wealthy households in the city were robbed, and their food was confiscated to supply the rebels and the victims who poured into the city.

Looking at the flood victims all over the city, Feng Gui asked Brother Yong: "Are all these people rebels? Do the rebels care about the food and drink of so many people?"

Brother Yong scratched his head honestly and said: "They are all from the countryside. Let's get together and look for food. When Nanyang's food is gone, we will take them south to escape the famine."

They are good citizens if the government gives them a way to survive. If they are not given food, we will take them and rob them together! "

Feng Gui was a little confused.

Chu Tianjiao asked her to go to southern Henan to find out the true number of the rebels.

If all the victims of the disaster are included in the city, there are more than 1 in Nanyang County alone.

But if we only count the armed forces led by Brother Yong, they are actually only a few dozen people.

So how many insurgents are there?

Feng Gui felt that this could not be decided by himself. He had to report all the situation here to the eldest lady and let the eldest lady make a judgment.
