Yuedi, Baojiantang.

The young master sipped his tea, glanced at Qin Lu who was standing below, and asked, "I've been here these days, is there any news from Jiangzhou?"

Qin Lu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Young master, five days ago, at dusk, there was a group of water bandits who wanted to hijack the cargo ship of Jiangnan Caoyun docked at the Jiangzhou wharf......

The young master's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered Gu Zhirong's words, and hurriedly asked, "What is the result?"

Qin Lu's face was rarely solemn: "There are many people in those water bandits, but they were defeated by those dozens of merchant ships. ”

The young master was stunned: "About 10,000 water bandits will be defeated and defeated?

Qin Lu glanced at the young master, and said, "Young master, those merchant ships in the south of the Yangtze River are all equipped with powerful artillery. There were twenty or thirty merchant ships in one ship. ”

"Artillery?" the young master couldn't believe it.

This is the first case that the merchant ships of the Jokhang Kingdom were equipped with artillery. Moreover, even if it is equipped with artillery like a warship, if the opponent has a large number of people, it may not be possible to win the battle.

Seeing the young master's doubts, Qin Lu explained: "Young master, those artillery, the firepower is really strong, and the range is very far, not like what I am looking for!"

The young master's handsome sword eyebrows tightened: "Not me?"

Qin Lu nodded, and said with certainty: "Not only is it impossible for our merchant ships to have such powerful artillery, but even in the army, our artillery cannot have such a powerful power!"

"Is that a foreign?" the young lord muttered.

Qin Lu shook his head: "My subordinates have been paying attention to the military equipment of the surrounding subject countries, and they have not found anything suspicious. Even the beams that have been at war with us for many years. There is no information about this either. ”

The young master was really shocked this time: "So, she came up with it herself?"

Qin Lu said: "She is so young, and she has not experienced war. I'm afraid I can't think of these things. The subordinates thought that in recent years, it was rumored that the children of the Mo family, who were good at mechanical skills, had reappeared, and the subordinates thought that this Miss Gu Wu would be a ...... of the Mo family."

"You go find out about it. The young master quickly gave an order, "If there are really children of the Mo family in this world, they must be used by me." ”

Qin Lu knew that this matter was very important, and nodded solemnly. And then. He raised his head and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, the Mo family has reappeared in the rivers and lakes in recent years. It's just a rumor, but this Miss Gu Wu is mysterious, she is not only skilled in medicine, but also knows how to march and fight. If you are recruited by the overstep. I'm afraid it's not good for us. The subordinates think that it is the best policy to get rid of her now to prevent future troubles!"

The young master turned around suddenly, stared at him, and said sharply: "Qin Lu, didn't I tell you, don't touch her!"

Qin Lu hurriedly shouted, "Young Master!"

The young master said in a deep voice: "You go down." You don't have to worry about that. ”

Qin Lu shouted again: "Young master!" It seems that he has to persuade again.

The young master shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter." In fact, the words in that book are like heavenly books. Except for her, I believe that few people in the world can understand it, not even Xuanhe can't understand it. Besides, it takes a certain amount of courage to carry out the secret techniques in the book, and if she is cowardly and lacks self-confidence, she wonders how she could be so convinced that these secret techniques can save people, and believe so surely, as if she had experienced it herself......"

Qin Lu still tried to persuade again: "But the young master ......"

The young master stroked his eyebrows and waved his hand: "You go down, I will deal with this matter." Miss Gu Wu may also be useful to us in the future. Now, as long as she doesn't come into contact with the one who crossed the ground, there will be nothing. I'm going to let people watch her and don't let her run around. As for the one who crossed the land, let him live in the land for the rest of his life. ”

Qin Lu knew that the young master had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to retreat, and was stopped by the young master halfway through.

"Qin Lu, since Miss Gu Wu has given us such a big gift, if we don't accept it, won't we live up to her kindness? ”

The young master said, turned around and folded into the study, praised a letter, folded it after writing, packed it in a brown paper envelope, sealed it with dense wax, and handed it to Qin Lu.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked, "Have you reported the installation of artillery on the Jiangnan Caoyun merchant ship to the local Ordnance Bureau?"

Qin Lu said: "My subordinates have thought of this matter a long time ago, and immediately sent a book to the Jiangnan side for verification, and got the news early this morning, saying that it had been reported." ”

The current situation is like this, what to add to the ship, the court has to manage, but what exactly to load, it doesn't matter, just report.

The young master was slightly stunned: "It seems that this Miss Gu Wu has thought everything through quite thoroughly." ”

But think about it, she said that she wanted to give herself a big gift, if there is a lot of trouble behind this big gift, then how can it be called a gift?

For Gu Zhirong's move, he was both surprised and felt that it seemed quite reasonable. Just think about it, Miss Gu Wu seems to be different from others, if such a woman really doesn't do something different, it doesn't look like the one he knows.

After letting Qin Lu retreat, the young master pinched his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly: "Miss Gu Wu, you little girl, how many secrets do I not know?"

That night, Mingyue, who had lost several bottles of anti-inflammatory liquid and nutrient solution, finally came to her senses, and the people in the room were simply ecstatic, and the green water almost didn't dance.

After waking up, Mingyue seemed to be in good shape, no longer vomiting, no longer falling into a coma, recognizing people, and being able to say a few words simply. However, the voice of the speaker was like the chirping of a mosquito, and it was not clear to others who did not come close to hear it, but the speaker seemed to use all his strength, sweating profusely.

Gu Zhirong hurriedly stopped her and told her not to speak hard and raise her slowly.

Mingyue looked at Gu Zhirong guiltily, tears oozing from the corners of her eyes. Gu Zhirong knew what she meant, and hurriedly said: "Mingyue, you can relax, we are staying here not because of your illness." How to say it, you know me, I am a person who likes to travel the world, and during the days when I lived in the Hou Mansion, I couldn't go far away, and I was about to suffocate to death. Now that you're sick, don't I have a reason to stay outside? I'm still waiting to see the scenery. At the end of the day, I have to thank you, don't I?"

Mingyue couldn't help but be amused by Gu Zhirong.

Gu Zhirong tucked the corners of the quilt for her, asked her to turn the brazier a little stronger, looked at Mingyue Zhengse and said: "Mingyue, we have a lot of things to do next, you can't fall, you have to get better quickly, stay by my side quickly, you know?"

Mingyue couldn't say anything, just nodded heavily.

Of course, on the side of the capital, Gu Zhirong also sent a messenger and gave him more silver, asking him to send the letter to the Yuanning Marquis Mansion quickly, and briefly wrote down Mingyue's illness on the letter, informing the old lady that she would have to delay a few more days before she could come back.

And the snow goose that stayed behind finally came with good news, saying that the convex lens worked, and she followed Gu Zhirong's instructions, put phosphorus powder, and soon set a fire and burned the house. At this time, the snow goose went out under the pretext of leaving Xing'er alone. So Xing'er's fate can be imagined, she was picked up on the spot, and the eldest lady's eyeliner was finally pulled out. (To be continued......)
