Qing'er clapped her hands happily.

Gu Zizhong looked at Qing'er's appearance and smiled happily.

Five days later, Zhu Wangye received a letter from Zhu Changxi, saying that he was already on his way back.

Zhu Wangye told Gu Zizhong the news as soon as possible.

No matter how calm Gu Zizhong was, as soon as he heard this kind of news, his whole person seemed to be a different person, and he couldn't stop smiling.

And there was also good news from the barracks, saying that Zhu Ziqin had brought back the Ming army in the Sichuan and Shu areas.

That's a big deal.

Gu Zizhong personally went to the barracks to inquire about the situation.

Zhu Ziqin came out of the camp and came to meet Gu Zizhong.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a few days, but it seemed like they hadn't seen each other for a few years, and both of them had anticipation in their eyes.

The two men faced each other and did not speak.

After a pause for a long time, Gu Zizhong opened his mouth first.

She thumped Zhu Ziqin's chest, smiled silently, and said, "Look at you, why are you still so divided?

Zhu Ziqin hurriedly smiled and accompanied her, and introduced her to the camp tent to prepare wine and food.

Gu Zizhong sat down, grabbed her, and didn't let her move: "Don't be busy first, I came here to find you, I have something important to ask you." ”

Zhu Ziqin sat down and looked like she was swearing.

She stared at him, and without asking, she already knew.

He is a kid who always gives some ideas and does some good things when it is critical.

"Brother Zhu, I heard that you brought the Ming army from Sichuan Shu?" Gu Zizhong frowned, but he still smiled.

Zhu Ziqin touched her nose, a little shy, but she couldn't hide the joy in her heart: "Not much, not much, only 10,000 people." ”

10,000 soldiers?

So much?

Although Gu Zizhong was happy, he still asked him with a smile: "Why are you so powerful...... Where did so many people come from?"

Zhu Ziqin stiffened his shoulders, lowered his eyes, pursed his mouth, and then said: "The soldiers of Sichuan and Shu have all submitted to me." ”

Gu Zizhong was puzzled, but the mood of joy had already come to his head. She couldn't help but laugh.

Zhu Ziqin began to become serious, serious, as if in the court, and said: "The Sichuan and Shu areas were originally controlled by King Kang Mian. However, King Kang Mian prepared men and horses to support the capital. So he couldn't control some cities in Sichuan and Shu. I saw what was going on and brought them back. Besides, the people in these places are very vague in the first place. The Sichuan and Shu areas and the places further north originally belonged to the Kang Mian Wang. But sometimes he didn't give food, he didn't suppress the bandits, but he still had to pay taxes. Therefore, the people there did not support King Kang very much. ”

Gu Zizhong was happy in his heart, stretched out his hand, the fingers of his right hand drew something on the palm of his left hand, and his mouth was also muttering: "Great merit, great merit." ”

She suddenly faced Zhu Ziqin and promised him: "You have already made a contribution when you come here." I promise you that I will reward you. ”

Zhu Ziqin didn't want a reward, he was originally from a famous family, and he was not short of money or status.

In his own words, what he lacks is this meritorious process.

It's so enjoyable.

People who practice martial arts always want to use kung fu to conquer others.

His purpose has been achieved.

Gu Zizhong doesn't argue with him, just give him whatever he wants.

He didn't want to reward him for the time being, and Gu Zizhong didn't force it.

When she went home, she told her father-in-law about it.

Zhu Wangye was also quite surprised, he didn't expect that the Jiangnan area could go to the southwest to dig soldiers and dig people.

But what about King Kang?

Gu Zizhong was curious.

She asked her father-in-law.

Zhu Wangye looked at him with a mocking look: "Hey, he lost his wife and lost his soldiers." He hadn't even been to Shanxi, but he heard that the imperial court had exterminated the Japanese invaders. In this way, it doesn't make sense for him to want to swing his teacher into Beijing. In the past two days, he has been returning to the southwest with his men and horses. ”

Gu Zi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "If that's the case, it is estimated that he will be even more angry when he goes back." The twenty counties of Sichuan and Shu are now all ours. We have established a base in the Yangtze River area, and we are afraid that no one in the south will be able to make us enemies in the future, right?"

Zhu Wangye smiled excitedly, but then his face stiffened again.

It's not necessarily a good thing to have so many people.

Because the tree is very windy.

They are really afraid that something will happen again, and the entire Ming people will wave at them, and at that time, they will be miserable.

After all, a corner is not defeated by the whole country.

Zhu Wangye thought for a while and said, "Let's be careful." How many men and horses we have in our hands must be truthfully reported to the imperial court. lest those who admonish civil officials poke us in the backbone with a pen. ”

Oh!

Gu Zizhong restrained his smile and didn't say much.

After two days, Zhu Changxi came back with dozens of people.

Gu Zizhong didn't have time to change his outfit, so he took the people from his family and went out of the city to greet him in person.

She hugged Qing'er and jumped directly from the sedan chair.

Zhu Changxi is still wearing armor.

Gu Zizhong ran over and stopped beside him.

The husband and wife haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are really embarrassed to look at each other with affection.

But in the corners of her eyes, tears were rolling.

Zhu Changxi stretched out his hand at Qing'er and pinched Qing'er's nose.

Qing'er smiled cheerfully and called him, "Father is back." ”

Zhu Changxi was surprised, Qing'er could speak.

He took Qing'er over, hugged it in his arms, and giggled non-stop.

Gu Zizhong's first sentence was: "He has been talking about you for the past two days." You said you would stay in the capital and not come back. ”

Zhu Changxi laughed, looking indifferent, and said, "Aren't I coming back?" I'm back!"

He raised his head with his chest held up, looking proud.

Gu Zi looked at his stupid look again, but didn't argue with him, just said, "Let's go, let's go home." Daddy is waiting for you at home. ”

Zhu Changxi waved his hand behind him and asked them to follow him into the city.

And all the people went back to the city.

Zhu Changxi returned home and explained the matter of the capital to his father: "Dad, I sent the silver to the hands of the Empress Dowager. She was very happy. And I exterminated all the Tartars. ”

When Zhu Wangye heard this, he was calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Zizhong took Qing'er over and stood aside.

She didn't dare to interject.

However, Zhu Wangye said: "Zizhong, what have you done at home?"

Gu Zi raised her eyebrows again, but she told the truth about some family matters.

Zhu Wangye said: "Did you see it, Zizhong worked hard at home and didn't say a word." You're still not successful?"

Zhu Changxi came back happily, but he didn't want to be scolded in front of his father.

He lowered his head and silently listened to his father's reproach.
