Chapter 284 Chaos breaks out...The mantis stalks the cicada!
Chen Yu had always thought that her man went to the border because he was worried about the war, but she didn't expect that he actually eliminated the people Jin Lehuang had planted in the army.
Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. Thanks to Feiyan for getting the list of their Northwest Border Army. Jin Lehuang is really well hidden!"
"With those people around, she actually deliberately beat her own people to death row and sent them into exile, using this opportunity to trick my second brother!"
"Haha! She was really cautious, but after meeting her husband, all her plans were doomed to fail!"
……
In the end, Chen Yu gave birth before the Chinese New Year.
As Gu Jingzhi's first child, the whole house was busy. Even many people from the Lin family came, including Gu Jingzhi's grandparents and several uncles...all of them came without exception.
Listening to Chen Yu's cries in the delivery room, Gu Jingzhi's heart was in a knot. He stood at the door of the delivery room and paced back and forth, making Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin dizzy.
"I say, kid, stop hanging around here. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. How can it be that easy?"
"..."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Mrs. Lin in silence.
Especially Gu Jingzhi, he was a little bit amused and helpless. He was already very worried. It would have been fine if the old lady hadn't said anything, but after she said this... it made him even more worried!
Old Master Lin stood aside and said unhappily, "I say, old woman, don't you see that our grandson is worried now? It would be fine if you didn't say anything, but now that you do, even I am worried!"
"What are you worried about? I gave birth to four children for you. How could you not understand this situation?"
"..."
The corner of Gu Jingzhi's mouth twitched.
Why are these two old men in the family arguing with each other?
However, Gu Jingzhi didn't care about these things. He was still looking at the delivery room anxiously, and he was so nervous that his palms were sweating!
The shrill cries of my wife were so heartbreaking.
The old lady looked distressed when she heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Jingzhi, don't worry, our granddaughter-in-law is in good health, there will definitely be no..."
"Wow..."
Before the old lady finished her words, a loud baby cry rang out in the delivery room. Gu Jingzhi was shocked, and the old lady's eyes widened. Then she shouted loudly: "It's born..."
The midwife in the delivery room also shouted at the right time: "It's born, it's born! Madam gave birth to a little boy..."
Gu Jingzhi couldn't bear it any longer and rushed into the delivery room immediately, but who would have thought...
Suddenly someone inside shouted, "Oh, it seems there is another one. The lady is pregnant with another one..."
What?
Gu Jingzhi paused, and even the people from the Lin family looked at each other in confusion.
Two babies in this pregnancy?
The old lady was overjoyed. She clasped her hands together and said devoutly, "May God bless me, may my ancestors bless me, my youngest son will have an heir..."
When Gu Jingzhi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched again.
The youngest child the old lady mentioned was Gu Jingzhi’s biological mother, Lin Wan.
Usually, this kind of words are mostly said to the man's family, but the old lady said this first, which is enough to show her feelings for her youngest daughter.
In the delivery room, Chen Yu's screams still did not stop. Thinking that two of them would be born soon, Gu Jingzhi didn't care about anything else and only wanted to accompany his wife.
However, at this moment, a huge flame suddenly shot up into the sky from the east side of the government office. It was night, so the flame became particularly obvious.
Faintly, I could hear the sound of gongs and drums, accompanied by someone shouting, "The fire's happening, the fire's happening..."
Gu Jingzhi's face changed, and everyone else looked towards the east. That was the government granary. How could such a big fire be started in such a snowy day?
"My Lord, My Lord... It's bad! Someone set fire to the granary in the east. The granary is on fire..."
When Gu Jingzhi heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
It really is a granary...
only……
Gu Jingzhi glanced at the delivery room and saw that his wife was still on the verge of death!
Seeing this, Mr. Lin stepped forward immediately and said, "Jingzhi, business is more important. Hurry up and take people to put out the fire. With the old man and your grandmother here, they will be fine!"
Gu Jingzhi clenched his hands, looked at the delivery room again, then turned to look at the doctor guarding the door, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave.
……
In Ningzhou City, in an inconspicuous courtyard, there were about two hundred people gathered in the courtyard.
After seeing the fire in the east of the city, one of the masked men leading the group shouted in a low voice: "Action!"
At his command, a group of people rushed into a house. Soon, the 200 people in the yard disappeared completely.
Below the Ningzhou government office, Eleven was holding Gu's military order and looking at the stone gate in front of him with some eagerness.
"Finally, I'm finally going to succeed..."
Eleven was thinking this in his heart when several people next to him, dressed like him, urged him, "Eleven, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and open the stone door! If the people outside find out, we'll be in trouble!"
Eleven was startled and immediately came to his senses. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and with slightly trembling hands, he embedded the general's order into a groove on the stone gate!
There was a sound of a mechanism turning, and then the stone door slowly opened!
"This……"
Eleven and the others stared intently at the scene behind the stone gate, and saw boxes everywhere, all covered with dust.
"Let's go and take a look!"
The others around Eleven shouted, then rushed into the stone door and opened the boxes one by one...
"This……"
The secret room was instantly enveloped by a ball of golden light...
"Good, so much gold..."
Those people, including Eleven, watched all this with fascination.
"Boss, there are probably no less than a million here, right?" someone asked foolishly.
One of them replied, "According to earlier records, there are a total of one million taels of gold and five million taels of silver here... Originally, they were going to be used as military pay in preparation for the war with the Great Xia Army, but unexpectedly..."
"Later, the Gu family also placed their century-long savings in it. The gold and silver here are enough to equip an army of 500,000."
The man called the boss sighed softly!
“It’s sent, it’s sent…”
The others had blurred eyes and held on to the gold ingots tightly in their hands!
Seeing everyone's expressions, the boss immediately shouted, "Wake up, everyone! Have you forgotten why we came here?"
He shouted, and the others immediately came to their senses.
"Hurry, seal up the things and have them move out as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble!"
……
Gu Jingzhi spent the whole night putting out the fire, while Eleven and the others spent the whole night moving.
I originally thought that these 200 people would be enough, but I didn't expect that there was also the Gu family's century-long savings. Although the Gu family was honest, they managed the family well. How could this century-long savings be easy to come by?
The group was so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. After moving all the treasures into this small courtyard, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Eleven looked at the countless boxes and said, "Next, we have to secretly transport these things out of the city..."
Jin Lehuang had decided early on to transfer the military pay to this courtyard. As for how to transport it out of the city, it would naturally have to rely on Gu Yunzhi's caravan.
Of course, in their plan, Gu Yunzhi would definitely not know about this.
Eleven and the others were preparing to take a short break before arranging the next step, when suddenly someone came running into the yard...
"My Lords, this is bad. Outside... outside, we're surrounded by soldiers..."
