Chapter 78 Not only gay, but also a scumbag
"Are you okay?" Chu Zhao didn't dare to look to the side, but just tried hard to control the carriage to stabilize it.
"It's okay, my nose just hurts." She had just leaned on Chu Zhao's shoulder, and now she only felt the sore nose.
I secretly complained in my heart, wondering which good person has such a strong body? It hurts so much from the collision.
"I'm sorry, I'll go slower later." Chu Zhao didn't dare to look at Gu Xi at all. He just felt his face was burning hot at the moment, and he was afraid that it was red.
Yesterday he was still regretting that he was gay, but he didn't expect that now when a girl got close to him, his heart would pound like it was about to jump out of his chest. The feeling was almost the same as when he hugged Qi Dasheng.
Wait, why did he think of Qi Dasheng at this time?
Chu Zhao wanted to cry, he felt that he was not only gay, but also a scumbag!
In the Elegant Pavilion, Nanny Yun was working at the cashier, and in the shelf area, there were two women hired by her mother working as shopping guides.
The customs of the people in the northwest are open-minded. Women are not kept in seclusion like in the capital. Most women from the common people go out to work.
"The eldest lady is here?" Nanny Yun greeted her with a smile, but because there was someone in front of her paying the bill, she did not come out to greet her.
This is the customer-first concept that Gu Xi instilled in them.
"Mammy, please be busy. I'm here to stock the shop."
Gu Xi directed Chu Zhao to help unload several boxes of trinkets from the carriage, and then the two girls serving as shopping guides immediately opened the boxes and began to restock the shelves.
Afterwards, he asked Chu Zhao to move the remaining boxes to the next shop.
After moving the boxes, Chu Zhao quickly slipped away. He needed some quiet time now.
The shop next door has just been renovated. Its style is similar to that of Yazhige, except that it has a few more dressing tables with mirrors, making it convenient for ladies to try out skin care products.
Modern mirrors are very clear and can reflect every detail of a person. In ancient times when bronze mirrors were still used, Gu Xi thought this was also a selling point, so he wholesaled a batch of small round mirrors and gave them to customers as gifts with skin care products.
She didn't know it at the moment, but later on, the small round mirrors she wholesaled at a few cents each would be more popular than skin care products. Many people bought a bunch of skin care products just to get this gift.
After a busy afternoon, the skin care products are put on the shelves, but we can’t open the store yet because we don’t have the staff.
Qi has asked Madam Ren to help find a candidate. Gu Xi thought of those poor women in Caogou Village and wondered if any of them would come to work.
Five days later, Niutou Mountain.
Gu Xi's one hundred special forces, each holding a 98K, are practicing shooting.
Chu Zhao is indeed a martial arts genius, and he is also amazing with a gun.
In just a few days, we have been able to hit the target every time.
He had witnessed the power of the gun. If every member of their Northwestern Army had such a weapon, then they would not be afraid of invasions from not only the Turks but also the surrounding countries at the same time. It was truly a divine weapon from heaven.
But Qi Dasheng also said that the number of guns is limited, and currently they can only get more than a hundred from the Heavenly Palace.
The other one thousand cavalrymen can only train their physical fitness.
But even so, their team is making rapid progress. I believe that it won't be long before they will become an invincible force on the battlefield.
Gu Xi is taking inventory of his assets.
I have used up more than 98 reputation points to exchange for K and bullets. I have received some more these days and currently have a balance of . It is really a lucky number.
He used the gold and silver stolen from Zhen Wude to buy a lot of medical supplies, and sold a few boxes in modern times for stockpiling. Now the warehouse is half full, and there are still three million in the bank card, but there are only two boxes of gold and silver left.
Now she has to feed a lot of people, and although these cavalrymen brought supplies into the mountains, they were only coarse grains.
Now that they are all her subordinates, she cannot be too partial to some, so the supplies have been consumed very quickly in the past few days.
We can't just sit there and do nothing, we have to find a way to make money.
While I was thinking about it, suddenly a golden light flashed before my eyes, and the system issued another task.
[Mission: Take the initiative to attack and defeat the Turkic vanguard within three days.]
[Completion Reward: Upgrade any skill by one level. ]
Hmm? The Turks are attacking?
As soon as Gu Xi walked out of the tent, he saw a messenger climbing up the mountain breathlessly, shouting:
"Report——"
Chu Zhao, who was practicing shooting, stepped forward quickly.
"Major General, the general has sent me to inform you that the Turkic army of 150,000 has set up camp 150 miles away, and the 10,000 vanguard troops have reached Waqiaogou 80 miles away. Please ask the major general and Captain Qi to return to the camp immediately to discuss the battle!"
The messenger finished speaking in one breath and began to breathe heavily, which showed how fast he ran.
Chu Zhao and Gu Xi did not dare to delay and immediately rode back to the camp.
The Chinese military tent.
Chu Shiting's face was gloomy.
"This time, the Turks have sent out all their elite troops. It seems that they are not just trying to get something for free. They probably want to use Dingxi County as a breakthrough point and move all the way south."
Deputy General Sun Feng's face was filled with anger, and he said:
"General, we sent out an urgent letter asking for help, but there has been no response so far. The Ministry of War is really... Oh, let's not talk about it!"
The other deputy generals also had sad faces and were filled with grief and anger.
The Turks sent out 10,000 light cavalry as the vanguard alone.
Not to mention that there are 150,000 elite soldiers waiting covetously behind them.
In this battle, if there were no reinforcements, their 50,000 Northwest Army would have no chance of winning no matter how they fought.
The Anning Kingdom was probably on the verge of destruction, but their court officials were completely unaware of this.
But no matter what the imperial court says or when the reinforcements arrive, their Northwest Army must not retreat, because there are thousands of people behind them.
This battle must be fought!
"Who among you is willing to take the lead? We don't ask for victory, but just to delay for a few more days." Chu Shiting asked.
He has sent three urgent letters covering 800 miles to report military intelligence to the Ministry of War, hoping that their Northwest Army can hold out until reinforcements come from the imperial court.
Several lieutenant generals hesitated for a moment and looked at Lieutenant General Sun. He was the number one man under the general and had rich practical experience. For such a tough task, they naturally had to choose the strongest person.
Deputy General Sun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he clasped his fists and said:
"General, I am willing to lead 10,000 troops to lead the charge! Although this battle is difficult and dangerous, I will go all out. Although I dare not claim victory, I can at least buy our army half a month!"
In this battle, he was determined to die.
A hint of admiration flashed across Chu Shiting's eyes. Just as he was about to nod his approval, he suddenly saw Chu Zhao and Gu Xi enter the tent. Gu Xi stepped forward and saluted:
"General, I am willing to lead my 1,100 cavalrymen to lead the charge!"
All the lieutenants looked at her in surprise, thinking that this kid was too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
The general invited him to discuss the war because of his good skills in training soldiers and his contribution in chasing down the Turkish cavalry last time, but he thought too highly of himself.
Eleven hundred people against ten thousand enemy vanguards, what's the point?
