Chapter 128: Escape at Night
The next day, the wound on the inside of Ge Fu's thigh scabbed after applying medicine. Ge Fu hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up riding again.
Lu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief. If it were someone else, he would definitely ask the other person to continue.
——It is common for beginners to have the skin on the inner thigh broken due to riding. This situation can be improved very simply and roughly, that is, the blood scab is constantly rubbed and coagulated, and finally the skin forms a thin layer of callus, and the skin will not be rubbed again.
Then, he could be cruel to others, but not to Ge Fu.
So it was the best thing for Ge Fu that he gave up on his own.
Because it was difficult to walk, Ge Fu simply did not leave Yujiabao. It happened that the children of the Yu family had a polo match in the garden, so Ge Fu and his friends decided to join in the fun.
When they arrived, the tiered seats outside the venue were already full.
Ge Fu was a little surprised, and turned to ask Yu Wan beside him: "How many people are there in your Yu family?"
"A little less than 40,000." Yu Wan said casually.
so much?
Gofu gasped.
"I've wanted to ask this before, why did you buy a horse?" She was a little puzzled.
This is not ancient times. Do we still have to fight on horseback? Isn't this a joke?
However, Yu Wan said: "Horses have many uses. At critical moments, they can be used to transport food and to transfer the elderly and children. If you can ride a horse on the battlefield, whether in combat or retreat, it will be a great advantage."
Are you kidding?
"Don't you have a car?" Ge Fu was shocked.
"There is a limit to the number of cars." Yu Wan said calmly, "The entire Yu family only has about a hundred cars, which are not enough at the critical moment. Although horses are expensive, they are far inferior to cars. Moreover, a spiritual horse can save lives."
It all comes down to poverty.
Ge Fu frowned, "In that case, why don't you accept the imperial court to send people to govern the northern border?" She had heard that the imperial court had sent officials to the northern border more than once with the intention of developing the local economy, but those officials either became decorations or disappeared due to accidents.
From this we can see that the local people in northern Xinjiang are extremely hostile to officials who come to take office.
Upon hearing this, the Yu family members around Ge Fu fell silent for a moment.
Yu Wan's eyes turned red, and he opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out.
It was You Niang who leaned close to Ge Fu's ear and whispered, "Princess, you said the wrong thing."
How did I say the wrong thing?
Isn't this a normal question? Is there something behind it?
You Niang sighed and whispered to Ge Fu, "Beijing used to welcome officials sent by the court, but... they were unlucky. The officials they met were either mediocre and incompetent, or... The three officials who had the greatest impact on Beijiang were: one was a traitor who sold a large number of Beijiang's mineral deposits to foreign countries at a low price, causing the court to suspect that Beijiang had second thoughts and imposed a material blockade for nearly 20 years; one was a miser who developed Beijiang's economy, but embezzled a large amount of money and deposited it in foreign banks, using the people's trust to siphon off the working capital of many companies, and then left, causing a large number of factories in Beijiang to close down; the last one was originally a good official, but she was an infatuated person. The enemy country captured her lover and threatened her, so she sent a large number of Beijiang people to work illegally for the life of her lover. This darkness lasted for ten years before it was exposed."
Ge Fu was speechless. What kind of luck is this in Northern Xinjiang?
It is no wonder that they would never accept officials sent by the imperial court.
That night, Ge Fu was awakened by footsteps outside the corridor. She lay still at first, after all, she was living in someone else's house. It was inevitable that there would be conflicts in a big family, and it was wiser to turn a blind eye to it rather than intervene rashly.
However, there was a knock on the door.
Ge Fu’s first reaction was that he knocked on the wrong door?
"Ge Fu?" Until Yu Bai's voice came from outside the door.
Ge Fu sat up, put on his slippers and went to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, Lu Yao and You Niang on both sides opened the door and walked out almost at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Ge Fu looked at Yu Bai with some surprise, his hair was disheveled and his whole body exuded a solemn look.
"The attack is coming from Southern Xinjiang." Facing the disbelief on Ge Fu's face, Yu Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Leave Northern Xinjiang as soon as the news comes."
"How could that be?" Ge Fu frowned and asked, "Didn't they say that Southern Xinjiang would not invade Northern Xinjiang until the end of the year?"
"I don't know either." Yu Baishu let out a sigh of relief and said, "It may be caused by the Ma family. No one knows what they did in Southern Xinjiang. It may also be that those spies caused the anger of the people in Southern Xinjiang, so..."
After a moment of silence, Ge Fu asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?" She had no intention of staying.
If Lu Yao took action, the Yu family would definitely be spared from the invasion of Southern Xinjiang, but...forgiving her is not great.
Not to mention that Lu Yao is from Jinglong, and Nanjiang belongs to Jinglong, she doesn't want him to be embarrassed. Even if she doesn't consider this, once Lu Yao reveals his identity as an emotional trainer, he will definitely not be able to stay in Hengyang.
She didn't want to be separated from him.
Yu Bai shook his head, "You've helped me if you leave safely." With Ge Fu's financial resources, he was naturally able to help her, but there was no time. If supplies were transported in from outside now, it would most likely go to Southern Xinjiang at a bargain price.
Ge Fu bit her lip and said, "Take care of yourself then."
"Take care of yourself too. I won't see you off." After leaving these words, Yu Bai left in a hurry.
At this time, You Niang had already come out of the room dragging a suitcase.
Of course, such a short time was not enough for her to pack everything. But at this moment, she couldn't care about such small details.
As soon as they got in the car and left, Gofu received a call from Edmund.
"Ge Fu, where are you now? Hurry up and leave Northern Xinjiang. Southern Xinjiang has launched an offensive against Northern Xinjiang!" Edmund said nervously and hurriedly, "I have already hired mercenaries. Don't be afraid. They are on the plane now and will arrive in Hengyang in six hours. Then I will go to Northern Xinjiang with them to pick you up."
Goforth was somewhat moved, and could tell that Edmund was a little scared, but even so, he still chose to take the risk to save her.
Even if this adventure was based on certain conditions, she appreciated his kindness, but...
"No need, we are already on our way out, you don't have to worry about me. Besides, we will probably leave Northern Xinjiang in six hours, don't miss it, or you will be trapped in Northern Xinjiang." Ge Fu advised patiently.
Gofu had never spoken to him in such a calm tone.
Edmund was immediately alert and said, "Then I'll wait for you at the boundary stone. I'll send you the location and you can navigate over here so you won't miss it."
