Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 470: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

In his previous life, Gu Mancang lived with Tao Chunhua until old age. After his daughter was tragically killed by his stepson, Gu Mancang was unwilling to see He Yunwang again.

Tao Chunhua and Gu Mancang moved out of the house that He Yunwang bought for them in the county town. They returned to the countryside together and lived in the house where they had lived with their daughter.

He Yunwang felt ashamed of the Gu family, and treated his younger brother as his successor, raising him with great care. He never married, and took care of his parents until their death, and helped his younger brother to seek a job in Beijing.

Yes, Gu Mancang and Tao Chunhua will have another son. This is why Gu Li couldn't bear to separate Gu Mancang and Tao Chunhua.

If there was no child, the family in the previous life would have broken up.

Without his daughter and his home, Gu Mancang would probably not survive.

Obviously, in this life, the family has already broken away from the trajectory of the previous life, and they have no pressure in life. The quota for the border conscription in the past two years was offset by silver.

Now that He Yunwang has passed the time to join the army, and he has already made achievements and is exempt from military service, why is he suddenly-----

Gu Li clenched her fists. She should have found an opportunity to kill this troublemaker on the road earlier.

However, hasn’t he entered the camp yet?

Gu Li's eyes moved slowly. The evil buried deep in her heart, after encountering unexpected situations and constant provocations of foreseeable consequences, gradually overwhelmed her rationality with sinisterness.

"Why did you want to join the army?" Gu Li heard her own voice asking.

He Yunwang had already stood up from the ground, and his slightly hoarse voice had become deep and mellow at some point.

He said: "I will let you live and work in peace and contentment in the land I protect, and no longer be in turmoil!"

Gu Li: ------

Gu Li didn't know how she got back to the backyard that day.

He Yunwang's simple words shattered all the evil thoughts that had arisen in her mind.

Putting aside the prejudices of the previous life, He Yunwang is a filial and sensible son, a caring brother, a polite and responsible stepson, and a patrol inspector and light cavalry officer praised by the people.

The only stain on his life was causing his captured stepsister to die tragically in front of him.

He didn't save her, and he couldn't save her.

Gu Li had been verbally abusing him for four years, but he just thought it was just a child's quarrel and never really got angry with her.

He even took his anger out on Xiao Tao because she had a fever in the underground secret room and was not discovered in time. If Tao Chunhua had not stopped him and arranged for Xiao Tao to do cleaning work, Xiao Tao would probably have been sold to another place by him.

It's not that he doesn't get angry, he just never gets angry at his family.

Gu Li's heart is not made of stone. What should she do with He Yunwang like this?

But before Gu Li could come up with any good idea, He Yunwang quietly left with his bag on his back before dawn the next day.

Tao Chunhua cried uncontrollably, and Gu Mancang could not bear it, so he had to harness the carriage and take Tao Chunhua out of the city to chase her.

When Gu Li learned the news, Tao Chunhua, who was about to faint from crying, had already been helped off the carriage by Gu Mancang.

Gu Li was not able to follow him in, so she went to the bookstore in front of her that was about to reopen to look for He Xingqing. It happened so suddenly and ended so quickly. She felt that there must be something she didn't know.

"Ayun has wanted to join the army for a long time, but he was worried about his family. Now he has finally taken that step!"

There were many wars on the border, and boys could join the army as long as they were fourteen years old.

Not long after they settled in Wufeng, the first conscription began. As the only male in the family, Gu Mancang did not need to join the army.

However, the uncle and nephew of the He family who settled in Changqing Village had one quota.

Although He Xingqing's legs were fine for walking, it would definitely have a big impact if he really went to the battlefield. Without much consideration, they paid for the quota.

Last year, He Yunwang turned fourteen, but he happened to pass the imperial examination and was exempted from military service and corvee labor for his family.

I thought everything would be completely different from the last life, but he still left!

In his previous life, He Yunwang started as a small soldier and spent seven years becoming an inspector in Wufeng.

At this rate, she should have seven years to prepare to avoid her and her family being captured by the enemy again!

Unexpectedly, before this thought took shape, He Xingqing's next words once again threw Gu Li into an ice cave, freezing her whole body to the bone.

He Xingqing said that He Yunwang had met General Xiao while studying at the academy. General Xiao liked a policy paper written by He Yunwang very much and even asked him to go to the general's mansion in the prefectural capital for this purpose.

"This raid on the west gate was an accident. They shouldn't have rushed to Wufeng City so quickly. Maybe the enemy army of Lan Qi found out that they had fallen into a trap and were about to be caught, so they made a desperate attempt to destroy the entire city. However, fortunately, the troops left behind in the city reacted in time------"

"These?"

He Xingqing nodded, "The border defense was forced, and the enemy broke through the Floating Cloud Front. They had discussed this strategy in advance. Half of Gaoyao Prefecture's troops are hidden in the Floating Cloud Mountains. As long as they come in, they can't go back to Lanqi."

"Is this the idea that He Yunwang came up with?"

"Ah."

Lan Qi was unwilling to have his large tracts of land taken away from him, so he would make some small moves on the border from time to time, then quickly retreat back to the grassland and escape.

General Xiao was very distressed by this.

Although it never gets the other person any favors, this behavior is annoying!

It would be better to have a showdown with great fanfare.

So, when General Xiao came to the academy to look for his old friend and dean one time, He Yunwang recommended himself and handed General Xiao a policy paper specifically targeting the border front.

"He Yunwang is using the people of the two cities as bait to lure the enemy into a trap?" Gu Li let out a sarcastic smile.

She really underestimated He Yunwang.

He was born to live for war. To achieve his goal, he would even risk the lives of the people in the two cities. How could she bear a grudge against He Yunwang who used her life to exchange for the victory of one city in the previous life?

She takes herself too seriously.

"Of course not. Didn't I just say that the sneak attack on the west city gate was just an accident? Half of Gaoyao Prefecture's troops are ambushed in Fuyun Mountain, and the other half are deployed outside Wufeng and Dan Mountain. If we follow the plan, even the nearby villages will not be attacked. General Xiao's men will drive the enemy troops between Fuyun Mountain and Yudai River and strangle them."

However, no one expected that after learning that they had fallen into a trap, General Lan Qi, who led the troops this time, did not think of returning to evacuate, but instead sent a team of light cavalry to launch a surprise attack on Wufeng City, which was closest to them.

"Ayun decided to join the army just because of this oversight. He said that talking about military affairs on paper is not as good as practicing them!"

After years of getting along, He Xingqing could easily understand the mockery in Gu Li's eyes. "Ayun is not that kind of person. He stayed with us the whole time, and only left when he was sure that the city was safe."

"The maidservant beside you was specially asked by Ayun from General Xiao. And the nanny beside your aunt is also from the general's mansion."

Everything seemed to be happening again just like in the previous life, but this time something seemed different!
