Chapter 1635: Assault on the City, No Need to Be a Widow Anymore

Chapter 1635: Chapter 1635: Assault on the City, No Need to Be a Widow Anymore

Gu Jinli froze, her heart that had been on edge for so long was finally eased, followed closely by an enormous surge of joy... Brother Qin is alive, and he’s here to get her!

"How is it, what does the message say?!"

"Gu Xiaoyu, are you okay, is it that the message says something bad, and you’ve been overcome with sadness?"

Ji Zhenniang and the person who delivered the message asked simultaneously.

Gu Jinli glared at Ji Zhenniang, wanting to raise her hand and slap her: "Where do you see that I’m sad? I’m clearly too surprised with joy to react."

She raised the small piece of paper in her hand and loudly said to everyone, "It’s a message from my Brother Qin. They’re here, just outside the city, we don’t need to escape, we’ve been saved!"

"What?"

"Really?!"

Everyone was overjoyed, Ms. Lu and the others were even moved to tears.

Thank the heavens, finally someone has come to rescue them. Then asked, "Madam, did Company Commander Qin mention our Old Master’s condition? Is he alright?"

Gu Jinli said, "It’s not written, but Yao Chief Commander has always been with Brother Qin, my Brother Qin is fine, I’m sure your Yao Chief Commander is too, rest assured."

The words on this small piece of paper were written very hastily, evidently in a rush, and it only contained a sentence to comfort her, without saying anything else.

Why not write a few more words?

Gu Jinli was also very worried, the city had been besieged for over ten days, and she had been separated from Brother Qin for nearly a month, not knowing how he was now.

She knew him best, having enjoyed comforts and endured hardships with him, he was a very determined person. During this period, he must have been clearing out lurking Rong people while rushing to save her, probably without any time to sleep.

If he’s too tired, it could lead to sudden death!

Gu Jinli thought about many things, her facial expression constantly changing, which made the person from the Eagle Food Gang nervous and directly ask, "Your expression, perhaps you were just reporting the good news without the bad?"

Gu Jinli looked at him and said, "This is a message from my husband to me. It didn’t contain anything else, why are you in such a hurry?"

The person was startled, realizing he had overreacted, but he couldn’t not ask, and said: "I’m Yan San, please forgive me, madam. But ever since we lost contact, this is the first time the message eagle has flown into the city, and it delivered a message to you. I want to know about our leader’s situation."

This leader refers to Lord Ying.

When they first saw the message eagle, they were genuinely delighted, but the metal tube hanging on the eagle’s neck was addressed: Deliver to Mrs. Qin Gu in the Lei Family’s Courtyard.

Yan San and the others were almost furious, finally getting a message in, how could it be delivered to a woman?!

But there was no choice, Yan San could only deliver the message.

Gu Jinli handed the piece of paper to him directly: "See for yourself."

Yan San looked at it, his rugged face turned red... how could this just be a letter to comfort his wife? There’s no useful information at all?

Yan San was very angry, but Lord Ying had instructed, whoever dares to disrespect Company Commander Qin and Mrs. Qin Gu must die.

"Forgive me, Mrs. Qin, I was too anxious." Yan San returned the paper, just as he was about to leave, the Protector of the separate yard brought two more people in.

Yan San was a bit surprised to see them, and asked: "Young Master Liu, Ah Wang, why are you here?"

Gao Wang smiled and handed him a letter in his hand: "You came early, wait just another minute and you’ll get useful information."

Yan San was overjoyed, quickly took the letter, and opened it to read.

Young Master Liu handed another letter to Gu Jinli: "Are you Mrs. Qin? This is for you."

Gu Jinli knew these were all people from the Eagle Food Gang, and since the leader of the Eagle Food Gang is a relative of Brother Qin, there couldn’t be any harm intended. She immediately took the letter.

This letter was also written to her by Brother Qin, and it was relatively long. It included some details about his situation, and finally mentioned the rescue plan, along with a plea for her not to run out due to concern for his safety... Xiao Yu, be good, don’t come out, stay well inside the city and wait for me. If you come out to help, I’ll be distracted by worrying about you.

After reading this letter, Gu Jinli felt sweetness in her heart, yet also worried for him... When she received the piece of paper earlier, unaware of his situation, she had considered leading You An, You Xi, Daqing and others to fight their way out to assist him. But it was as if he knew what she was thinking, the second letter explicitly told her not to leave the separate yard.

"Gu Xiaoyu, does the letter contain any news about Xie Cheng?" Ji Zhenniang couldn’t hold back, asking with tears.

Gu Jinli said, "Yes."

She left one sheet of the letter behind, handing the other sheet to Ji Zhenniang.

Ji Zhenniang hurriedly took it and read, then burst into tears: "Wah wah wah, I’m not going to be a widow."

This sheet contained information about Xie Cheng, Guo Daming, Yao Chief Commander and others.

Gu Jinli couldn’t be bothered with Ji Zhenniang, turning to the anxious-faced Mrs. Han, said: "Sister-in-law Zhang, rest assured, Company Commander Zhang is also coming."

The letter did not include any news about Zhang Yan, Brother Qin and the others traveled faster than Zhang Yan, who had not yet converged with them, presently life or death unknown.

However, Zhang Yan headed to Long’an Prefecture for reinforcements, even if he returns with them, he’d be traveling the same path that Brother Qin and the others took. Those lurking Rong people were already cleared by Brother Qin and the others, Zhang Yan following the same route with reinforcements shouldn’t encounter any danger.

Gu Jinli said this, and Mrs. Han, hearing it, breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out a smile: "Since Company Commander Qin and the others are here, we’ll be even safer."

As for Zhang Yan, she believed in him, they’ve overcome so many hardships together, she couldn’t believe they’d be cut off in the Northwest!

Perhaps Mrs. Han regained some of her former confidence and composure, Sister Yu and Brother Yi saw this and looked much more relaxed.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of fire stones hitting the city walls came again.

Yan San finished reading Lord Ying’s letter, said to Gu Jinli: "It is hoped Mrs. Qin stays well in the separate yard and doesn’t go out. We are to follow orders and go out of the city to help resist the enemy."

At the end of the letter, Lord Ying surprisingly wrote: That woman Mrs. Qin Gu is too bold, stop her, don’t let her out to cause trouble, lest someone be distracted during the battle!

The words were said, obviously very dissatisfied with Mrs. Qin Gu, treating her as a femme fatale.

But Yan San glanced at Gu Jinli, feeling like he could die, how could Lord Ying regard her as a femme fatale with her appearance? She entirely lacks the condition for that.

Yan San set aside this thought, looked at Ms. Gao Lei, and requested: "Old Madam Gao, our leader is here, but there are too many Rong bandits outside the city, please lend us the people from the Lei Family’s Trading Team and Feng Family Escort Agency."

Ms. Gao Lei said: "Lending you people from the Lei Family’s Trading Team is no problem, but will you dare to use the people from Feng Family Escort Agency?"

Yan San said: "Manpower is scarce, can’t worry about that now, and if Feng Family Escort Agency wants to continue doing escort business, they must be wary of us."

Otherwise, the Eagle Food Gang can mess up Feng Family Escort Agency’s business to the point where it can’t continue.

"Alright." Ms. Gao Lei agreed, and said to Gu Jinli: "You guard the separate yard, I will go personally to Feng Family Escort Agency to get people."

Otherwise, Feng Family Escort Agency may not provide the manpower.
