Even though it took a whole day and night for the horses to gallop, Gu Bai still sprinted towards Beiping City. Halfway through, Gu Bo also felt hungry and wanted to find an inn to rest, so he slowed down his pace and arrived at a nearby tavern. "Waiter, a bowl of noodles …" Gu Bai strode into the tavern and called out.

The waiter responded, "Alright!"

Gu Bai looked around and saw that there were not many people in the small inn, only a few people were there. In a short moment, he brought the horsetail whisk in front of him, and just as he was about to eat the noodles, a person about fifty years old came in from outside. This person was wearing prison clothes and had wounds on his face.

As soon as the man entered the room, he shouted loudly, "The waiter serves the best dishes and wine, quick!"

Most of the guests in the restaurant saw that the person had paid the bill and left. Gu Bai also ignored him and lowered his head to eat his noodles. The shopkeeper saw that he didn't dare to say no, so he hurriedly ordered the waiter to go forward to greet him.

Gu Bai had yet to finish eating the noodles when a group of soldiers came from afar. Gu Bai roughly estimated that there were about 50 cavalry soldiers and dozens of infantry soldiers. Gu Bai knew that the prisoner had been captured, but he still didn't understand, "Capturing a prisoner is enough, why would we send officers and soldiers?"

The officials arrived at the tavern before the leader of the men shouted, "Chen Long Yu, before we leave, His Highness ordered us to bring you back safely. As long as you agree to surrender and the Prince doesn't want to kill you, you'd better quickly return with us to save us the trouble!"

Chen Longyu ignored the person and only ate and drank to his heart's content. The person then spoke again loudly, causing Chen Longyu to raise his cup and drink to his heart's content. Chen Longyu laughed dryly as he said, "Prince loves this lowly one so much, this lowly one is flattered, but this lowly one is too used to being idle. I hope General Qiu can help out this lowly one's apology!"

The general with the surname 'Qiu' said, "If you want to ask for punishment, go and ask for it yourself. This general's mission is to bring you back. It has nothing to do with this general!"

Chen Longyu said, "It's better for the general to return on his own." Once she finished her sentence, she rushed out from the left and right sides of the road with her left hand. Over a hundred gangsters, General Qiu, rushed out and said, "Chen Longyu, you refuse a toast. "I could have broken your mountain stronghold back then, but today, I will capture you and bring you back home …"

Chen Longyu replied, "General, please feel free to do so!"

General Qiu raised the sword in his hand, shouting, "Set the formation!"

At the same time, the infantry divided into four squads, each with a shield in front of it. One squadron stood at the left and right of General Qiu with a long sword in their hand, and the last two squadrons formed a half squat position behind the shield for the archers.

Chen Longyu finished reading it and smiled, "Qiu Fu, ah, Qiu Fu, your problem can never be cured, but you lack the courage to fight against General Yan Qiu. If it wasn't for Tan Yuan leading the army and plundering my path of retreat, you alone wouldn't have been able to enter our mountain stronghold even after eight to ten years."

Qiu Fu said, "Chen Longyu was originally not going to argue with you. She was originally going to ask you a question. Are you coming back with me?"

Chen Longyu laughed, "General, you'd better not waste your efforts."

Qiu Fu replied, "Very well, don't blame me for this … General!" Then, Qiu Fu glanced over and saw Gu Bai was still in the inn. He shouted, "Daoist Gu Bai, leave quickly. Otherwise, you'll be injured by the military!"

Gu Bai replied, "Many thanks, General." With that, Gu Bai tidied up his luggage and left his seat to hide at the side. The store owner and the waiter also rushed out to hide.

Qiu Fu saw that everyone had left. He raised the spear in his hand and gave the order. "Release the arrows!"

The two groups of archers were getting closer and closer to Chen Long Yu, who was about to kick up the table, grabbed the table legs with both hands and shot all the arrows onto the table. After that, he put his hands in his mouth and whistled, and over a hundred bandits rushed over from both sides.

Seeing the sneer on the young man's face, Qiu Fu's shield protector moved to the left and right sides of the Long Saber Guard, protecting them. At the same time, two squads of cavalrymen shot out like arrows, instantly allowing over a hundred bandits to fight with each other. Immediately, shouts of slaughter rang out, and although there were a lot of bandits, they were still a motley crowd, comparable to the elite cavalrymen of the imperial government.

Seeing this, Qiu Fu immediately raised the shield guards on both sides of his spear into the air. Following that, the Long Blade Guards heard Qiu Fu yell, "Charge!" Under the protection of the shield guards, the Long Bladed Guard quickly rushed forward. At the same time, the two squads of cavalry retreated from the left and right.

Under the cover of the shield, the shield guard rammed into the half-dead bandit. At the same time, the shield guard leaped over the shield guard and started fighting with the other bandits.

After a few rounds of killing, there were less than twenty bandits left, and Qiu Fu Clan only slightly injured a few of them. Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, Chen Longyu shouted, "Cold idea is too hard, bullsh * t!"

One by one, the bandits moved towards Chen Longyu. Gu Bo knew that Chen Longyu's words implied, "This official is too powerful, hurry up and withdraw!"

Qiu Fu shouted, "You want to run, don't even think about it! "Soldiers, listen up!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, "Yes!"

Qiu Fu shouted, "Whoever enters the enemy ranks first will be rewarded with 30 gold. Those who capture Chen Long Yu alive will be rewarded with gold, charge!"

The soldiers followed Qiu Fu's order and bravely rushed forward. With a "whoosh", all of them rushed forward. With spears in hand, Qiu Fu charged to the front of the troop.

Gu Bai wanted to go over and take a look, but as soon as he got up, he realized that although Chen Long Yu's troops had been utterly defeated, they had all been retreating in an orderly fashion. He even turned around from time to time to tease them, and immediately realized that this was Chen Long Yu's plan to lure the enemy into an ambush, but he was actually willing to sacrifice dozens of his men just to lure them into the ambush.

Thus, Gu Bai immediately chased after him. After running for about a cup of tea, he heard "peng, pong" sounds coming from not too far away. What followed was the loss of the horse's hooves and the people's desperate cries before they died.

He saw that in the forest not far ahead, Qiufu's troops were fighting against Chen Longyu's underlings, and the soldiers of the Qiufu Clan would often die after being hit by an unidentified projectile. Gu Bai stood a little further away and looked left and right, and saw that a large number of musketeers were lurking in the jungle.

Due to the distance and the dense forest acting as a natural barrier, Gu Bai Daoist couldn't even count the number of people here. However, Gu Bai Daoist was indeed surprised because even the Great Ming Kingdom had very little ownership of firearms. He didn't expect Chen Long Yu's small bandit's nest would have so many of these things.

Just as Gu Bai was thinking about this, he heard another gunshot, and Qiu Fu fell from his horse. It was obvious that he had been shot. The surrounding guards hastily ran over to help, and with a "peng peng" sound, they all killed the guards that came from afar.

At this moment, Chen Long Yu laughed loudly. "Little kids, I'll catch you alive if you let me down!"

When the bandits heard one another, they all rushed over, only to see Qiu Fu barely standing up with his spear on the ground, blood spurting out from his stomach in an instant. But at this moment, Qiu Fu saw many of the criminals rushing towards him with his spear on both sides of their bodies, pulling out the swords at their waists.

Gu Bai saw that Qiu Fu was about to collapse, so he shouted loudly and flew over. At the same time, he took out a palm sigil from his pocket and chanted, "Old Lord Taishang has ordered it urgently, rise!"

In an instant, the earth trembled in front of Qiu Fu. The force behind the collision caused him to retreat two steps. The long spear in his hand lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Chen Long Yu was also stunned, but he was still a bit courageous. He calmed himself and raised his head to see that Daoist Gu Bai was right in front of him, so he quickly took out his long blade from the hands of the people around him. He then swung it and chopped at Daoist Gu Bai's wrist with his whisk – he also conveniently took advantage of the opportunity to roll up his brush against Chen Long Yu's long blade. As he gave the order, several tens of guns were shot out. Seeing that he was not in a good condition, Gu Bai hurriedly threw himself onto the ground and did a roll after roll. At the same time, he used his right hand to wrap the horsetail whisk around Qiu Fu's right hand and brought him here.

At the same time, a "carp jumped up" from the ground. After standing up, it didn't dare to waste a single second. Carrying Qiu Fu, it disappeared without a trace.
