Chapter 397

"I will send someone to check tomorrow."

Gai Xun nodded slightly and then took his leave.

After sending Gai Xun away, Liang Gu, who was sitting in the main hall, immediately changed his face.

He snorted with annoyance and waved his sleeves.

On the other side.

Gai Xun, who walked out of Liang Gu's mansion, carried his hands behind his back.

After walking to the door of Liang Gu's mansion, Gai Xun frowned and looked back.

A carriage was parked in front of Liang Gu's mansion.

After looking back at Liang Gu's mansion, Gai Xun boarded the carriage.

"Go to the home of Assistant Yang Fu."

In a huge mansion in the east of Jixian city.

A middle-aged scholar about thirty years old was holding a scroll of bamboo slips in the study.

The scholar was wearing a black and white long gown, with a square face and upright eyebrows.

An oil lamp was lit on the desk in front of him, illuminating the bamboo slips in his hand.

Knock knock knock.

A knocking sound rang out outside the study door.

Yang Fu put down the bamboo slips in his hand.

The attendant outside the study door said: "Master, Chief Clerk Gai has come to visit."

"Yuangu is here?" Yang Fu raised his eyebrows and immediately said: "Quick, invite Yuangu in."

Before long, Gai Xun, who had left Liang Gu's mansion, came into Yang Fu's study.

"Yuangu came so late, is there any urgent matter?"

Yang Fu stood behind the desk, the bamboo slips in his hand already put down.

Hearing Yang Fu ask.

Gai Xun nodded immediately: "Sorry to disturb Yishan."

"I had no choice, I just came out of Fangbo's place, and the only person I could think of was Yishan."

"Fangbo?" Yang Fu frowned and said: "Yuangu just went to Fangbo's mansion?"

Gai Xun nodded and said: "Yishan, just now I met a knight in the city's official residence."

"This person claims to be a guard escorting Marquis Guo's family to Hanyang Commandery."

Yang Fu reached out to invite Gai Xun to sit down while listening to Gai Xun's account seriously.

"The guard said that after they entered Hanyang Commandery, there were Qiang cavalry circling around them."

"Suspecting that the Qiang tribes might want to plunder the team."

"Yishan, you also know that Marquis Guo should be an envoy to the Southern Xiongnu at this time and is not in the team heading north."

"The escorting Colonel Li Jue is worried that there are many Qiang tribes, so he sent someone to ask for help."

"But... I went to Fangbo's place, and Fangbo refused on the grounds that there were not many troops in the city and they could not be mobilized without authorization, and that troops should be mobilized from the surrounding counties..." Gai Xun's brows were tightly locked.

"This..." Yang Fu's brows immediately frowned: "This is clearly an excuse!"

"Liang Gu is clearly making an excuse!"

"Where are there not many troops in the city?"

"Liang Gu is timid, who in Liangzhou doesn't know? Originally, because he feared the Wuwei Commandery Administrator, he wanted to kill Su Zhenghe. If it weren't for Yuangu's obstruction, Su Zhenghe would have been eliminated by Liang Gu long ago."

"He is just timid and worried."

"Worried about making mistakes in his term!"

Yang Fu had an angry look on his face.

Liang Gu was not from Hanyang Commandery, but Yang Fu was a local of Hanyang Commandery.

His family had settled in Jixian for three generations.

"Hmph." Yang Fu frowned and snorted: "Marquis Guo is a good general of the Great Han, and the Great Han has not had such a good general as Marquis Guo for decades to be glorious for the country."

"At this time, Marquis Guo is being glorious for the Great Han in the Xiongnu, so how can we watch his family be in danger?"

"Yuangu did nothing wrong in this matter," Yang Fu looked at Gai Xun, who was kneeling in front of him, and said: "Liang Gu doesn't care about this matter, but we cannot sit idly by. In this way, how will Marquis Guo look at us Liangzhou people."

"If Marquis Guo's family is in danger, how will the people of the world evaluate us Liangzhou people."

Gai Xun nodded upon hearing this and said: "Yishan is righteous."

"I knew Yishan would not ignore it, so I came to find Yishan to discuss a solution."

Yang Fu frowned and said: "Wangyuan County is only about a day's journey from Jixian, and there is Shehu Valley in the middle."

"If the Qiang tribes really want to plunder Marquis Guo's family team, it must be in the Shehu Valley area."

"We must take action immediately."

Yang Fu looked outside the study door and said loudly: "Someone."

The attendant outside the study bowed and walked into the room.

Yang Fu looked at the attendant and said: "Take my name card and go to Jiang Xu's mansion immediately, and say that I have an urgent matter and invite him to come!" ===== CHAPTER 399 =====
