Chapter 727 The Jin people are calling

   On the third day, Gu Yunjiao received a letter from Jiang Youzhi, probably written at the inn at night.

   The letter paper is only one page, and the writing is outstanding. Gu Yunjiao looked at it and only had one meaning, that is, I miss you.

   After reading it, Gu Yunjiao cherished the letter and put it in a box, which was placed in the drawer of the bedside cabinet.

   Then, every three days, Gu Yunjiao would receive a letter.

  This morning, Gu Yunjiao read Jiang Youzhi's sixth letter, and went to Renxintang in a sweet and disappointed mood.

  I heard a customer say to someone, "I heard that the people from Jin are calling."

   Gu Yunjiao was startled, stopped, and asked the customer who was speaking, "Uncle, when did this happen?"

Uncle    said: "It's just about half a month ago. My nephew in the Imperial Army told me. He said that the Jin people had already reached Baozhou, and it was not far from the capital."

   Gu Yunjiao frowned, the people of Jin really called, and there's no reason why the grandfather didn't know.

   She thought about it carefully, and for several days, when she went to the main courtyard to ask for safety, she did not see the grandfather of the country.

   And Mrs. Wu seemed to have something on her mind, she hesitated several times before speaking to her.

  Maybe they already knew, but they didn't tell her.

  Gu Yuheng also came over and asked Gu Yunjiao, "Is it true?"

  Gu Yunjiao shook her head, "I don't know, I'll talk about it when I go back and ask."

   After having lunch at Renxintang, Gu Yunjiao returned to the mansion.

   In the afternoon, Gu Yunjiao made a special trip to the main courtyard.

   Mrs. Wu was watching Ruru crawling on the mat in the ground.

   Seeing Gu Yunjiao come in, Mrs. Wu waved to her, "I'm done for today? Come back so early."

  Gu Yunjiao sat down beside Mrs. Wu and whispered, "Mother, I went to the pharmacy today, and I heard someone from Jin called. Is it true?"

   Mrs. Wu sighed, "It's true."

   "I received a report of the battle a few days ago. The Jin army went straight to the capital in two routes. Now the Jin army on the west route is blocked from the river.

   "Youzhou, which was just redeemed, is now guarded by General Guo who returned from Daliao a few years ago."

   Mrs. Wu paused, "General Guo has resisted for a few days, and he has already surrendered to the Great Jin."

   "General Guo is very familiar with the military deployment of our Great Chu, and now he has taken the people of Jin through the Li River, bypassed several cities, and went straight to the capital."

   "All of us in Chu have become deaf and blind, and we haven't received any news about such a big thing. It wasn't until a few days ago that Jin State captured Baozhou, and the imperial court got the news."

   "Now, Dajin's army is only a few days away from the capital."

   Gu Yunjiao was shocked when she heard it, "Then the court is just watching, why don't you hurry up and find a solution?"

   Mrs. Wu said: "The imperial court has asked the Marquis of Wu'an to lead half of the 40,000 people in front of the palace to meet the enemy."

   "Hey, the emperor really made a foolish move. We don't have an advantage when we go out of the city to meet the enemy. We might as well concentrate on guarding the capital."

   She patted Gu Yunjiao's hand, "I didn't tell you about these things because I didn't want you to worry."

   "Although the situation is not very good, the capital of our Great Chu has three city walls, twelve city gates, and nine water gates, so the people of Jin can't get in."

   After hearing this, Gu Yunjiao was not relieved, but even more worried.

   There is no castle with copper walls and iron walls in the world, and it is only a matter of time whether a city can be conquered.

   Wait until you run out of ammunition and food, and still be a ghost!
