Chapter 156 Preparation II
Du Yu specially came to the tavern today, feeling a little uneasy, wondering why Li Yu and Gu Lei made an appointment with her alone.
Came to the agreed box, Du Yu saw Li Yu standing in front of the window, with a tall and straight back, which looked a little desolate and aloof, as if he was full of thoughts.
"Brother Du, you are here, sit down."
Li Yu turned around with a decent smile on his face.
"Big girl."
Du Yu clasped her fists and saluted, intending to say something nice, but her expression was not very good.
"sit."
Gu Lei asked for food and came in.
"Brother Du is here."
"Young Master Gu."
"Call me Tzuyu."
Ziyu is Gu Lei's word, and it was also given by Boss Li. It means that beautiful jade is clear and flawless, with noble moral character and excellent knowledge, which is also what is expected of him.
"Today I specially asked you out alone. I have something I want to ask you. It is beneficial to you but also has great risks. I have been thinking for a long time and I can't find a more suitable person than you."
Li Yu poured Du Yu a glass of wine.
Xiao Er came in and served the food, then quietly retreated.
There is a servant handle at the door of the box.
In this situation, Du Yu raised his eyebrows, "Let me guess, it's because of the Sui Gong. The people from the capital must have something to do with you. Either there is hatred or kindness."
"Your eye. The person who came has been confirmed. It is Geng Li, the enemy of my Li family."
"Then what do you need me to do, as long as I can help, I will never refuse."
Du Yu took the lead in clasping his fists to express his opinion. Since they were all on the Li's boat, they could only go to the dark one by one.
"Two things. One, I want to set up supplies in a special location, and two, I need to hide the yearly offering afterwards. If you do well, you will be credited with the Night King, and the Du family will be stable in the future."
"I'll do it, just tell me what you need."
"I need some war horses, as well as grain and food as supplies. Someone will pick them up when I go to the city. The things will have to be hidden for a while, and I can't return them immediately. Otherwise, I will cause trouble for the Night King. I will send someone to get the things without you sending them."
"OK, no problem."
When Du Yu heard that he didn't need to go to the battlefield by himself, it was nothing more than sending supplies.
"Things must be kept secret, even my father can't say, I will tell you how to do it when."
"No problem. Everything is up to you. Just..."
Du Yu pondered for a while, "Miss, it's not that I doubt your ability, it's just whether it will be dangerous to go this way, and if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."
"Thank you big brother for caring about me. I've already thought about it. I can't swallow the breath of not killing my enemy. My father can't move, but I can. I can do what they can't do."
"Success, since you have thought it through, I will follow your orders."
"I respect Brother Du for this glass of wine."
Li Yu and Gu Lei toasted at the same time, and Du Yu drank it down after the three of them clinked.
After dinner, Du Yu left first, and then Gu Lei ordered a bowl of porridge for Li Yu.
"Have you figured it out, I will put people in the Du's house tomorrow, and I will send someone to guard it."
"Okay. Let people ambush outside the city in advance to see where their people are camping, and determine the number of people at the final location. General, bring back accurate news."
"yes."
"The key link is to use our own people. Whether Gu Ping will go this time, I mean not to go."
"It will be dangerous. I can't take care of everyone. You have to think about what kind of punishment you will bear when you go back."
Li Yu's face was calm, and his heart was still. The more he came to a critical moment, the more silent he became, and his mind became calmer and clearer.
"I've figured it out. I'll go back and talk to Gu Ping alone. It's fine if he's afraid. If he's willing to follow, I'll let him take credit for it."
Gu Lei smiled.
"good."
"The only thing left is the warrant to leave the city."
"And when we leave the city, we need to arrange someone to meet us. We need someone to open the door when we go out of the city in the dark."
"knew."
"I will arrange the people who leave the city. I will go to Zhao Qian. He is General Zhao's nephew. He is willing to take the risk with us to get credit for it. He will open the city gate."
The gates of the city are closed at night, and there are soldiers holding the handles, so they don’t open the gate easily. Everyone leaves the city only when the gates are opened early in the morning.
"I'm going to get the warrant."
Li Yu narrowed his eyes in thought.
"Okay, let's split up."
After dinner, Li Yu and Gu Lei left separately, Gu Lei returned home, and Li Yu visited Lin Yue again.
Li Yu is skilled in martial arts and can go anywhere easily, and he is used to going to home alone, so he is more free and doesn't ask too many questions.
Lin Yue came out to meet her, "Have you eaten yet? I'll make you something to eat."
"I've eaten, and I asked Boss Du to have dinner."
"I have prepared some things for you, take a look and see what else is missing."
"Yue'er, I've troubled you."
Li Yu smiled at her apologetically.
"Why are you being polite to me? I don't know how happy you are to come to me. I can do something for you, and it's considered revenge for my relatives."
Lin Yue was very happy. At the critical moment, Li Yu came to her and treated me like a sister.
Into the warehouse, there are a lot of things in the box, the water bladder, the boots, the bag that I carry with me, the belt, the knife and pencil case, and other small things, as well as a pile of furoshiki and bamboo baskets.
Marching requires luggage, food and drink, and flint and other essential items.
Lin Yue thought carefully this time, and prepared hundreds of copies of everything she could think of. According to the number of people in Li Yu's barracks, there were only a few more.
"It's enough. It's really well prepared. It's more complete than I thought."
Even the leather boots that the men wear when they go out to march and fight are prepared in double quantities, in all sizes, and these tailors make them.
"I also made some beef jerky for you, smoked and dried. If it dries up, you will be very hungry. You can put it in. Then you tell me three days in advance, and I will go to make naan. I asked around, and the sesame seed cake can only be brought in a small amount. , It will go bad after three or five days, it’s quite hot in autumn, the pancakes will grow hairy, and the naan can be stored for half a month.”
"How do you know it?"
Li Yu looked at her curiously.
"My aunt likes to hear people talk about my uncle's heroic deeds in the war. If I ask three times and don't ask twice, I will find out clearly. My aunt is careless and easy to talk."
Lin Yue laughed.
She deliberately went to Gu's house to ask her aunt, chatted with her for a while, and asked about the interesting stories of her uncle's wars, and her aunt was very happy to say that, after talking about memories for a while, she got information from the chat, knowing what my uncle brought when he marched , all understood.
Li Yu also smiled, reaching out to hug her.
Whispered in her ear, "Sorry, I have troubled you."
"Fool, if you don't come to me, I blame you in my heart. Even if there is a punishment, I am willing. I can't go to battle to kill the enemy, but I can do something for you. My heart is... at ease."
Lin Yue said with red eyes.
