The First Assistant Teased Me and Gave Birth To a Cub

   Chapter 728 Martyrdom

  Gu Yunjiao couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there not many banned troops in the capital?"

   As far as she knows, although the Great Chu Imperial Army claims to be hundreds of thousands, these hundreds of thousands are distributed all over the country.

  The forbidden army in the capital is known as the Palace Front Army. It is regarded as the elite army of the Great Chu, but it is only 80,000 to 90,000 people. Now it is divided into half, and it depends on 40,000 people to defend the city?

   Mrs. Wu nodded, "There are only about 40,000 troops in front of the palace. However, the capital is well built and easy to defend and difficult to attack. 40,000 people are enough to defend the city."

  Gu Yunjiao whispered, "Mother, should we do something to prepare?"

   When a war begins, if nothing else, we must first ensure survival, and food and other things are indispensable.

   Mrs. Wu also thought of something with Gu Yunjiao, "No need, there is enough food in the government's grain depot for a year or two."

   "There is no shortage of food in the capital, but the siege—"

   She stopped talking, she felt that it was a bit unlucky to say this.

   "In short, let's take a look. Don't rush to buy food. Our family has enough food to eat, and we can't eat more than we can. Why make those people unable to buy it."

  Gu Yunjiao nodded.

   After leaving the main courtyard, she thought about it, she still had to make some preparations, not afraid of ten thousand just in case.

   All her money is kept in the medicine storehouse, she just needs to buy some food and put it in.

  No matter how much food there is in the government, it would be better to keep it in her medicine store for insurance.

   After thinking about it, she decided to get some more salt-fried beef and fried small fish that Jiang Youzhi made last time. After they are cooked, they will be placed in the medicine store, and they will not spoil for a long time.

   It's just that there are many people in the Guogong's mansion, so it's not easy to deal with.

   The next day, Gu Yunjiao went to Renxintang again.

   First sent the servant who was a handyman at home to buy some rice, grain and flour, and let him put it in the Gu family's house.

   Then he sent Mrs. Tian to buy beef and small fish.

   Mrs. Tian came back and said, "I don't have any beef today, so I just bought some small fish."

  Gu Yunjiao didn't say anything, waited for Mrs. Tian to deal with the little fish, and took it to Gu's house.

   This place has almost become Gu Yunjiao's warehouse. Usually only Uncle Dumb is there. Gu Yunjiao sent the girls away, salted a basket of small fish, and fried them in a frying pan.

  I tried it myself, and it tasted pretty good.

   She made a jar and put the small fish into the space, came out and gave Uncle Mute a few pieces of silver, held the small fish and gestured with Uncle Mute for a long time, and motioned him to buy some small fish every day to take care of it and wait for her to get it.

   Uncle dumb nodded, indicating that he understood.

   The next day, Gu Yunjiao asked Mrs. Tian to buy beef and pork.

   Gu Yunjiao bought it and took it to Gu's house to make pork jerky and salt-fried beef.

   After several days, Gu Yunjiao worked tirelessly every day, and there were many jars with jerky and small fish in the medicine storehouse.

   This evening, Gu Yunjiao went home, so it was time to accompany the grandfather and Mrs. Wu for dinner, but the grandfather was mostly absent. These days, he usually leaves early and returns late, and Gu Yunjiao hasn't seen him for half a month.

   When he arrived at the main courtyard, he saw Mrs. Wu frowning and biting her lower lip.

  Gu Yunjiao hurriedly said, "Mother, what's wrong?"

   Mrs. Wu saw Gu Yunjiao, took her hand, and said solemnly: "The news came this morning that the Marquis of Wu'an died and the entire army in front of the Shiwan Palace was destroyed."

   Gu Yunjiao was shocked, "This—"

  Lin Shuo was still in Xiangcheng at this time, so he probably didn't know the news of his father's death.

   She sat down and looked at Madam Wu, "Then the army of Jin State—"

   Mrs. Wu's face was very ugly, "It is estimated that you will arrive in the capital in a few days!"
