Chapter 1636: Chapter 1636: Siege and Collision

"Hey, the younger generation understands." Gu Jinli replied, then asked Yan San for Lord Ying’s letter to review: "I need to know how you’ve arranged things to cooperate well. Otherwise, if anything unexpected happens, we can’t escape well either."

Although Brother Qin has arrived, the Rong people are formidable, and whether this city can be held is still uncertain, so it’s necessary to prepare for both possibilities.

Yan San felt a bit awkward, unwilling to show the letter to Gu Jinli, but Young Master Liu said, "Let Mrs. Qin see it."

Lord Ying’s love extends to her, despite being dissatisfied with Gu Family’s origins, because the person truly cares about her. Within just a quarter of an hour, he couldn’t wait, wasting a message eagle to send a message to Gu Family in advance, to set her mind at ease.

Yan San had no choice but to hand the letter to Gu Jinli.

After reading it, Gu Jinli couldn’t help but praise. No wonder they are seasoned in warfare; these arrangements are indeed incomparable to what she could come up with. It seems that military matters must be left to professionals.

However, Brother Qin from her household also participated in these arrangements, so he’s very capable!

As for the last sarcastic remark, ha, Gu Jinli pretended not to see it.

"I have a few more people here for you to take to Brother Qin." Gu Jinli was worried about Qin San Lang, so she gave Yan San groups of people led by You An, You Xi, and Feng Jin.

Yan San couldn’t have asked for more: "Alright, where are the people? Let’s go with us now."

"Daqing, go get them to wait at the back door!" Gu Jinli shouted to the rooftop, and Daqing immediately went to deal with it.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, you stay here and watch, I’ll be back soon." Gu Jinli said, then instructed Ye Jingzi, "Go inside and bring all the medicines we made, take more Insect Attractant."

The poisonous insects have spread outside the city, and Brother Qin and his people must have encountered them, so the Insect Attractant needs to be sent to them.

"Yes." Ye Jingzi responded, rushing into the house and then to the pharmacy yard, bringing ten-odd servants along with Qing Pu and Qing Hui, carrying out over ten boxes of Convenient Medicine.

Yan San was wide-eyed, glancing between Gu Jinli and the pile of medicine boxes, feeling sour inside.

Earlier when they came to request medicine, the separate yard always doled out the medicine sparingly, they thought it was running low, but never imagined so much was being kept in reserve.

Gu Jinli: "This is specially reserved for Brother Qin."

That’s right, I am indeed biased!

Yan San: "..."

Although it’s a bit ugly, it’s immensely practical, and she values the person mentioned by Lord Ying, so it’s acceptable.

"Stop dawdling, hurry and go." Ms. Gao Lei also took two boxes of medicine as negotiation chips, escorted by Protectors to Feng Family Escort Agency to request manpower.

Yan San, Gao Wang, and Young Master Liu all followed Gu Jinli to the back door.

Outside the back door, Feng Jin had already gathered more than two hundred people waiting.

Feng Jin was an ambitious person, very excited upon learning he could lead people to battle, already eager and prepared.

However, You An said, "Madam, the Master commanded us to protect you well, under no circumstances can we leave you, or else our lives cannot be guaranteed."

The Master values Madam greatly, during training he already said they must listen to Madam, protect her well, or none of them will live, nor die easily.

Now with the Rong soldiers attacking the city, Xing’an Prefecture is extremely dangerous, if they leave and something happens to Madam, how can they face the Master?

The Master is their lifesaver.

Gu Jinli said, "Your Master also said you must listen to my words, not go against my wishes, and my current wish is for you to go help Brother Qin, protect him well. If anything happens to him, you won’t survive either."

Yan San: "..."

Why does it seem like this little couple is intentionally making things difficult for this group of subordinates?

"Alright, don’t worry about me, I have Daqing and others protecting me, plus the Poison, I’ll be fine. Hurry and go help." Gu Jinli beckoned them: "Come over to pack the Poison on your bodies, tie several bags each; that way, we won’t need to load them into carts."

Then added: "Take it, for your Master, he must be very hungry, let him eat well before going to war."

It was a bag of meat-stuffed sesame cakes, prepared for her escape, now given to You An to take to Qin San Lang.

"Yes." You An took it and responded.

Gu Jinli shouted again into the courtyard near the back door: "Siqing Wuqing, have the bugs been brought?!"

"Here, here." Siqing and Wuqing arrived, carrying two loads of poisonous insects, thumping them onto the ground: "Brother You An, take them to use. Madam said at the crucial time, using poisonous insects against the Rong people is the best."

Even though You An and others were trained by Qin San Lang to the standard of Assassins, the thought of those poisonous insects still made them nauseous. Fortunately, these insects were well-packaged and wouldn’t leak into their bodies.

"Here, carry the insects." You An ordered, quickly following Yan San and the others out.

You An adhered to Gu Jinli’s instructions, they weren’t there to help Yan San, but to help the Master.

Thus, after ascending the city wall, they skillfully used long ropes to lower themselves from the wall. After slaying several Rong people’s Assassins climbing the wall with hooks and claws, they blew the whistle taught by Qin San Lang. Receiving a response, they quickly found Qin San Lang.

"Master." You An was delighted.

However, seeing him with You Xi and Feng Jin, Qin San Lang’s face fell: "You dare disobey orders!"

When parting at Guanlu County, he repeatedly instructed them not to leave Xiao Yu’s side, they must protect her. Now the city is fraught with danger, yet they dared leave Xiao Yu and run out.

You An and the others were taken aback, quickly saying: "Master, calm your anger. It was Madam who ordered us out."

They recounted Gu Jinli’s words.

Though they felt a bit mushy, but the Master liked hearing it, and saying it could mollify him.

Sure enough, upon hearing it was Xiao Yu who wanted them to protect him, Qin San Lang’s anger subsided somewhat, but he still worried.

Xiao Yu sent eighty percent of the manpower to him, so how would she manage inside the city?

You An presented the bag of meat-stuffed sesame cakes to Qin San Lang: "Master, Madam has sent these for you, saying you should eat well before fighting, not starve."

Upon hearing this, Qin San Lang’s face softened. He took the bag, opened it, and saw it was packed full with sesame cakes, smelling of meat stuffing, typical of what his Xiao Yu would eat.

Even having time to make meat-stuffed sesame cakes reassured him greatly.

"How is Madam lately? Is she alright? Tired? Scared?" Qin San Lang asked while eating, though reluctant, he shared the remaining cakes with the hungry soldiers.

You An recounted everything, even though they embellished the positives, Qin San Lang still felt guilty. She mentioned she strived to earn money for a leisurely life like a landlady, yet now she’s wealthy but facing the turmoil of war due to marrying him.

Qin San Lang’s throat felt tight, after finishing the cakes, he immediately called You An and the others: "Come over, let me brief you on the plan."

Only by swiftly driving away the Rong people could he return to see Xiao Yu.

"Yes." You An and the others responded, swiftly navigating until reaching Luo Ying and the others.

Luo Ying was wounded, in the midst of dressing the wound, seeing Qin San Lang arriving with manpower, he coldly snorted: "You finally came."
