When Zhu Lingyue saw the man, he suddenly showed a resentment in his eyes. He smiled coldly. Under the moonlight, he saw a woman pushing out by the man. She looked unkempt, but she could not hide her curved and healthy figure. Zhu Lingyue naturally could tell at a glance that this woman was Gan Yujiao, the sister of Gan Hou.

Gan Yujiao's expressionless face looked like a walking corpse, her hands were tied up by a beef tendon rope. Only when Zhu Lingyue walked to her, Gan Yujiao smiled coldly and said lightly: "The arrogant Governor Zhu Lingyue, there is a fate today. I wonder how many people can think of you as you are today."

"Sister-in-law...!" Zhu Lingyue sighed lightly, "I am looking at you with admiration now, and sacrifice my life for justice. Hehe, Gan Hou's sister is indeed not simple. If it weren't for this marriage, I would not have trusted Gan Hou so much, and I would not have fallen into Gan Hou's trap. I am today, my younger brother and sister, you have made great contributions."

"Bah..." Gan Yujiao spitted on Zhu Lingyue's face and sneered: "If you do evil, you will die by yourself. It will harm the country and the people. You should have the end of today. Who is your younger brother and sister? Your Zhu family is not worthy."

Zhu Lingyue raised his hand to wipe off the saliva from his face. Looking at Gan Yujiao, who was like a female leopard, he was not angry and smiled faintly: "Do you know that although Gan Hou succeeded in his conspiracy, he also sent you to the fire pit. Your life and death are now in the hands of this governor. With the order of this governor, your life and death will be buried in this wilderness."

Gan Yujiao sneered: "There is no need to threaten my aunt with death, Zhu Lingyue. Didn't you ask? I am not scared."

"Okay!" Zhu Lingyue raised his thumbs up and said with a smile: "Since you don't admit that you are my Zhu family's wife, I will not be embarrassed by you. This is your conspiracy, and I will naturally not recognize you as my sister-in-law. Miss Yujiao, even a ants are alive, let alone people? After all, no matter whether you and I want to, you have entered the gate of my Zhu family. I can't bear it and don't want to be difficult for you. There are a few questions, I want to know, so I would like to help me answer."

Gan Yujiao turned her face and didn't look at Zhu Lingyue.

Zhu Lingyue stroked his beard and asked, "I want to know why Mr. Gan was willing to send your only relative to the Tianshan Mountains? As far as I know, you have been relying on each other since childhood, and the brother-sister relationship is extremely deep. Some people even say that Mr. Gan lost his life for you, so he would not hesitate to do so, but why is he willing to sacrifice your only relative to please Chu Huan when things come to an end?"

Gan Yujiao glanced at Zhu Lingyue without saying anything.

"I have promised Gan Hou to hand over the Jinhe Prefectures to him as his fiefdom." Zhu Lingyue said calmly: "In addition, I want grain and silver to him. As long as he proposes it, I will not be dissatisfied with it. Moreover, following the governor to pacify the northwest, his future will be bright. On the contrary, Chu Huan, this person implemented the equal field order and distributed the land to ordinary people. This destined that he could not draw out the land and hand it over to Gan Hou as a fiefdom, but why did Gan Hou turn against him and help Chu Huan?" His eyes suddenly appeared coldly, "Miss Yujiao, of course you know the reason in the middle. As long as you tell me, why did Gan Hou be willing to marry you to Tianshan, why did he help Chu Huan? I have the answer, so I can let you go. What do you think?"

Gan Yujiao smiled coldly and asked, "Do you think my aunt will tell you?"

"The thing has happened, and it has come to this result. What else can I hide?" Zhu Lingyue sighed: "Even if I know the truth now, everything is too late. Use a late answer to exchange for your safety, Miss Yujiao. This transaction will benefit you without any harm, so why should you hide it?"

Gan Yujiao said coldly: "Do you really want to know? Well, my aunt will tell you that my elder brother helps Chu Huan. The reason is very simple, because helping you is to help the evildoer and get rid of you with Chu Huan. That is to wipe out the thieves. My elder brother is loyal and righteous, so naturally it is impossible to collude with thieves like you. Now do you understand?"

Zhu Lingyue's eyes twitched, his face turned cold, and he said lightly: "Gan Yujiao, it seems that you are really not punishing to toast. Well, since you don't want to say it, I will not hide it. But in this life, the last thing I am is a shameless villain who is betrayal and traitorous. Mr. Gan had an agreement with me first, but he betrayed the latter. Such a slutty person, I naturally cannot let go of such a slut." He took two steps back, looked at Gan Yujiao up and down, and sneered: "Mr. Gan is afraid that he is also worried about your whereabouts. You don't want to give me an answer. Mr. Gan is very willing to give Mr. Gan an answer. If Mr. Gan sees your head, he doesn't know what kind of expression it is."

Gan Yujiao's pupils contracted slightly, but she still sneered: "I just hope that when you do it, your hands will not tremble. You are a betrayal dog now. It will take a few days for your head to hang on the top of the city."

"I will seal your mouth now." Zhu Lingyue turned around, pulled out the sword from Huang Zhu's waist, and poked the blade to Gan Yujiao's throat. Seeing that the blade was about to poke into Gan Yujiao's throat, he heard Gu Tingshou in the side of him shouting: "Du Zhu, wait!"

Zhu Lingyue paused, turned to Gu Tingshou, frowned and asked, "Why?"

"Du Zhu, if nothing unexpected happens, the third master and Zhu Du's family are now in the hands of the Northwest Army." Gu Tingshou said seriously: "This woman is the only thing we can use. If Du Zhu killed her now, he might be able to relieve his anger for a moment, but he lost the capital that can negotiate with Mr. Gan. He thought that letting her live now is more useful than a corpse."

Zhu Lingyue slowly put away his knife and asked, "You mean to exchange her for hostages in the hands of the Northwest Army?"

"That's right." Gu Tingshou nodded and said, "Horse Gan used the purpose of marriage to defeat the Tianshan Army. Now his goal has been achieved, and the Tianshan Road is also under the control of the Northwest Army. As long as the conditions we put forward are not something he cannot accept, Marse Gan will definitely agree to some conditions for Gan Yujiao's life."

Gan Yujiao sneered and scolded: "You are delusional, and you will always fall into the hands of my elder brother."

Zhu Lingyue was thinking, but slowly walked aside. At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The night wind blew, and the cold wind blew across Zhu Lingyue's face. He pondered for a moment and finally said: "Tingshou is right, but... the horse farm failed, and Chu Huan was soon covered with Chu Huan's forces. Chu Huan would definitely search for the governor everywhere. At the entrance of each narrow road, there must be their people. Even if we really change to hostages, where will we go?" Speaking of this, Zhu Lingyue looked up at the sky, then looked at the more than twenty people around him, and felt a sense of desolation. He sighed and repeated: "Where are we going?"

His foundation is in the Tianshan Mountains. Today, the mountain was occupied by the Northwest Army. With Chu Huan's character, he will definitely have complete control over the two paths of Tianshan Mountains in the shortest time.

Chu Huan is now holding heavy troops. The Tianshan Army has no fighting spirit, and the nest has been taken away, and there is no leader in the group. Naturally, it is impossible for him to organize resistance to the Xiguan Army. Once Chu Huan controls Tianshan, he will naturally try his best to understand Zhu Lingyue's remnants. As the leader of Tianshan, he will inevitably be in the northwest to arrest Zhu Lingyue.

Not long ago, Zhu Lingyue held a strong army in his hand and occupied the Tianshan Mountains. He had an absolute advantage in the northwest competition for hegemony, but he lost everything after a mistake. Now, looking around, the entire northwest seemed to have no place to live.

"Du Zhu, although there is no place to stay in the northwest, it does not mean that there is no place to go." Gu Tingshou lowered his voice and said, "At least Du Zhu has two places to go."

"Two places?" Zhu Lingyue frowned and asked in a low voice: "Where are you talking about?"

Gu Tingshou said softly: "Walking eastward, you can enter the pass, but now it is a mess inside. Zhu Du has no foundation in the pass, and he is arrogant and humble. Even if Zhu Du goes to the pass, who is worthy of surrendering? I'm afraid that someone wants to please Chu Huan and betray Zhu Du, that's unknown."

"Human hearts are unpredictable, and you cannot go inside the pass." Zhu Lingyue shook his head and said.

"So there are two roads left now, one goes south and the other goes west." Gu Tingshou said: "Go south to Yanmen Pass, cross the Jingu Landa Desert, and head to Xiliang."

"Go to Xiliang?" Zhu Lingyue locked his eyebrows.

Gu Tingshou said: "Xiao Tianwen, who had to go to Xiliang from the northwest, had to go to Xiliang, but he made a world in Xiliang and became the king of the South Court of Xiliang. He was a very powerful figure in Xiliang. If Zhu Du went to Xiliang, Zhu Du's past and talent would definitely be valued by Xiao Tianwen. Xiao Tianwen was originally from the Central Plains, and he thought that even if he was in Xiliang, he would not be fully integrated into the people of Xiliang. I am afraid he still hoped that the Central Plains people were by his side. Zhu Du was very talented and a native of the Central Plains. Xiao Tianwen would definitely be valued, and because of Xiao Tianwen

Therefore, the people of Xiliang will easily accept Zhu Du." After a pause, he sneered: "I heard that civil strife is happening in Xiliang now. If Zhu Du went to help the regent of Xiliang to quell the rebellion, he would definitely prosper in Xiliang in the future. As far as I know, both the regent and Xiao Tianwen advocated force and were ambitious, and they all hoped to conquer the Central Plains. At that time...!" Without further explanation, Zhu Lingyue naturally understood what he meant. If he really helped the people of Xiliang make a comeback and conquer the Central Plains, he would be a must-have.

Zhu Lingyue hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said, "Even if I am in a down-and-out position, I should not use the power of the people of Xiliang... Don't forget that when the people of Xiliang came in, I led my army to fight against the enemy. The people of Xiliang were quite resentful to me. It would be fine if Xiao Tianwen was broad-minded. If... if I hold a grudge in my heart, wouldn't I fall into the trap?"

"If you don't go south, you have to cross the Tianshan Mountains and go west." Gu Tingshou said softly.

Zhu Lingyue smiled bitterly and said, "To the west of Tianshan Mountain is an endless desert. When we go deep into the desert, there is no return. Compared with Xiliang, the west change cannot be reached."

"Duke Zhu, with his humble attitude, he really wants to make a comeback and make a comeback. Perhaps it is more beneficial to go west than to go to Xiliang." Gu Tingshou whispered: "Does Zhu forget that old madman back then?"—
