It's because she is the county lord that she feels uncertain about many things.

Aunt Cui didn't say anything more, and Gu Zizhong didn't mention it.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Feng Ming said that Brother Zishan should come over to accompany her in half a month.

Gu Zizhong was ecstatic when she heard this, she felt that she hadn't seen Brother Zishan for a long time.

In the afternoon, the news of Brother Zishan did not come again, but a friend came.

People say that it is Zhu Changxi's old man.

Gu Zizhong stared at the other person up and down for a long time, except for the handsome person who was a little handsome, she didn't see anything special about the others.

Listening to Feng Ming, this is a general, or General Fuyuan who guards the Shanhaiguan.

As soon as he heard the words "Shanhaiguan", Gu Zizhong trembled.

She didn't know what this person's intentions were, and she was polite to others on the surface, but in fact she was more guarded.

Gu Zizhong invited people to sit in the hall.

Before Feng Ming served tea, people said bluntly: "I came today to guard the mountain customs in Zishan Town." ”

Gu Zizhong trembled.

What you are afraid of, what comes.

She shrunk her neck and asked carefully: "What Shanhaiguan?" Brother Zishan, he is very good in the court, and I haven't heard that the emperor is going to send him to Shanhaiguan." ”

"Oh. The person's expression did not change: "Well, I don't know much about this, but I received an edict from the Queen Mother, so ...... I also came to say hello in advance. ”

Is it the Queen Mother?

Gu Zizhong didn't quite understand.

It's a place for comfortable polite words, not for talking about national affairs.

Gu Zizhong got up and stretched out his hand to signal the family to go to the back garden to sit.

The man was quite cheerful, got up and followed her.

The two of them went to a Mingxuan and sat down, and Gu Zizhong asked Feng Ming to serve tea to others and served snacks.

They sat down and smiled.

Gu Zizhong began to set up: "I haven't asked yet, what is your honorable name?"

The man smiled and said: "I am the general of Fuyuan in the middle of the court, surnamed Wang Mingtong, and I used to guard the place of Gyeonggi, but I don't know if the county lord knows me." ”

Gu Zizhong smiled awkwardly.

She really didn't know each other.

The man smiled and stopped talking.

Gu Zizhong invited people to tea.

They took a sip.

She rolled her eyes, and suddenly seemed to suddenly realize: "Oh, General Wang's prestige, I have heard Brother Zishan talk about it." It's just that...... But I have not seen you. I'm lucky enough to see you today, huh...... I don't know Brother Zishan, have you seen it?"

General Wang shook his head.

"This is also a special message from the Queen Mother, as soon as I received the message, I hurriedly came over, for fear that there would be any changes in the court. Uh, county lord, please help my brother pass a message. General Wang looked very embarrassed.

Gu Zizhong's heart was bottomless, when she left Beijing, Brother Zishan was fine, and there were no special orders in the court.

The Queen Mother likes Gu Zizhong and will not harm her for no reason, and the court still needs the support of the Zhu family and the Gu family in Jinling.

Otherwise, Brother Zishan needs to leave the capital, and the Queen Mother has her old man's intentions to do this.

Gu Zizhong didn't quite understand, but the string in his heart was very tight.

She invited General Wang to drink tea, and said: "Brother Zishan said that he would come over, but I don't know when he will come." Maybe it's past this summer. ”

General Wang waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, you are joking with me, the summer resort only came in summer." In the fall, who will come?"

She wanted to say two words, but she was recognized.

She blushed, lowered her head, and said no more.

General Wang said with a smile: "County Lord, I didn't have anything else to do when I came over today, I just wanted to talk to Brother Zishan's family quickly." Please tell him, and when he comes, let him go to Shanhaiguan for two days. ”

Gu Zizhong also pretended to be angry: "Brother, you hurt Zishan's heart by saying this." If he comes, won't he rest for two days? He hasn't stopped much throughout the year. As soon as the early spring arrived, he entered the imperial court, from the treasury to disaster relief, which major event did he not participate in? No matter how powerful a person was, he was tired by this time. ”

General Wang touched his head and pursed his lips, but the wrinkles on his forehead were raised: "Sister-in-law, I can understand what you said." But this is what the Queen Mother meant, how dare we not listen? So don't embarrass your brother. I know what you mean, but I can't help you with that......"

As he spoke, General Wang stood up and prepared to turn around and leave.

Gu Zizhong also got up, wanting to keep others.

But General Wang didn't want to look back at all: "Sister-in-law, this matter is said to break through the sky, and it is also the intention of the Queen Mother, I am an ordinary general, I can only follow the order." So please talk to Brother Zishan. ”

She still wanted to call someone, but she didn't know how to call it.

After General Wang saluted Gu Zizhong, he hurriedly took his leave.

Only Gu Zizhong was left alone in Mingxuan, bowing his head silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Feng Ming came over and patted her on the shoulder, but didn't wake her up.

She didn't understand very much, the Queen Mother was the best for Gu Zizhong, why did she do this?

Let Brother Zishan go to guard Shanhaiguan, isn't that a thankless job that is both helpful and thankless?

Staying there, at most, the Tatars do not go south, and there is peace and security.

The benefits are not.

But once the Tatars went south, and the Watts made trouble, once Shanhaiguan suffered a defeat, the generals would not be able to eat and go away.

Gu Zizhong was so anxious that he turned around.

She got up, looked at Feng Ming, and asked her again: "Feng Ming, does Brother Zishan have any news from him?"

Feng Ming shook his head.

Seeing the sudden change in the county lord's face, Feng Ming was frightened.

Gu Zizhong couldn't wait any longer, she waved her hands, gestured out of thin air, and said, "You immediately send someone to the capital to carry the letter, just say that the Queen Mother intends to let Brother Zishan go to the town to guard the Shanhaiguan." You ask Brother Zishan to figure out a way by himself. ”

Feng Ming let out an "oh" and quickly ran away.

Only Gu Zizhong was left to sit alone in Mingxuan.

At this time, Aunt Cui came over, and when she saw the county lord's sad face, she asked with a smile.

Gu Zizhong was suspicious of Aunt Cui and didn't dare to tell others what was in his heart.

She just made an excuse and said a few words.

Aunt Cui explained to her from the perspective of a pregnant woman and helped her relieve her boredom.

What is boring, what is she thinking in her heart, Aunt Cui doesn't know.

So she smiled casually and coped with it.

In the evening, Feng Ming came in when there was no one outside, and said to Gu Zizhong: "County Lord, I have already let people go." ”

Gu Zizhong was relieved.

Feng Ming helped her bring hot water to wash her face.

She only whispered, "You can put it there first, don't worry about it." ”
