Gu Wanning's eyes drooped slightly, and he fell on the letter paper in his hand.

The words are like their people, and Gu Jinxing's words are upright and clear, and they are very calm.

The letter reads: "...... Tubo Guoshi and Xiao Rui live together. After Ji Tong traced their whereabouts, he attacked them at night. In this battle, the dark guards lost more than 300 people, and the guards around Xiao Rui were killed and wounded more than twice as much. Ji Tong was slightly injured, and ordered someone to send a letter back, and vowed not to return to the camp if Xiao Rui and Tubo were not caught......"

In the inky black handwriting, there seems to be boundless blood light, which makes people's heartstrings tremble.

Linlang's gentle voice sounded in her ears: "Niangniang, Ji Tong was injured, do you want to tell the master and Sango?"

Gu Wanning came back to his senses: "Of course you have to tell them." After a pause, he said, "You go and call them over now, and I will tell them both personally." ”

Linlang wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, and retreated.

After a while, Chen Yueniang and Coral came.

Both of them are Ji Tong's closest people in the world. One is a mother-in-law, and the other is a wife.

They are also the closest people to her. Coral is her personal maid, and she has been with her for many years. Chen Yueniang is her husband, and she is also an elder who is worthy of respect and is happy to be close to.

If something happens to Ji Tong......

How should she explain it to them?

……

Chen Yueniang and Coral saluted together, and when the two got up, they were stunned when they saw Gu Wanning, who looked solemn and complicated.

Chen Yueniang was the most keen, and reacted almost immediately, and her heart sank: "Niangniang specially called the slave maid and the coral to come, but something happened to Ji Tong?"

The coral's face quietly turned white, and he breathed.

Gu Wanning calmed down and said in a low voice: "He is performing a very important task, which is quite dangerous. This time he suffered some minor injuries, but his life was not in jeopardy. ”

Coral breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then thought about it, and a heart was pulled up again.

A dangerous and dangerous mission!

This time it was only a minor injury, and there was no fear of life, so what about the next time?

Chen Yueniang obviously thought of this, but her face did not show it, and she solemnly bowed and said: "Ji Tong, as a secret guard, should obey orders. The Gu family has carefully cultivated him for many years, if he can't complete the task, he won't have the face to return to Beijing to see his mother. ”

After a pause, he said, "If he is injured on an errand or has an accident, Niangniang doesn't need to feel guilty." He'd known that there would be a day since he joined the Dark Guard. ”

Just like back then, before his father went to the battlefield, he said to the slave maid. If he dies on the battlefield, the slave and maid need not be too sad. There are no immortals in war. Even the two marquis died in battle. ”

When Ji Tong insisted on accompanying Shen Gongzi to the border pass, the slave maid had already made all the preparations. ”

Chen Yueniang's eyes were firm, and her figure was straight.

Coral was full of tears in his eyes, and he was also forced to go back. Her gaze became equally determined: "That's right. The slave and maid were also prepared. No matter what happens, the slave can hold on. Niangniang doesn't have to worry about slaves. ”

Gu Wanning's nose was a little pantothenic, but it was not revealed on his face.

She looked at Chen Yueniang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fixedly, and solemnly promised: "This time, I will summon Ji Tong back to Beijing." ”

It is much safer to return to Beijing than to stay in the border army. Only Gu Guanning can summon Ji Tong back to Beijing.

Chen Yueniang thanked Coral for her grace.

……

After exiting the dormitory, Sango's eyes turned red and she quietly burst into tears.

Chen Yueniang was also anxious and worried in her heart, but she didn't cry like Sango, but told in a deep voice: "It's okay for you to cry in front of me." In the future, in front of the mother, you must not show traces. ”

"Niangniang personally told us about this today, which shows that Niangniang has felt ashamed in her heart. ”

"It's just that the person who Niangniang really trusts is Ji Tong. At this moment, Ji Tong will never be afraid of the truth, and he will never back down. ”

Coral wiped her tears with her sleeve and nodded with red eyes, "I see." Rest assured, I will never cry again. ”

Chen Yueniang was silent for a moment and sighed: "I knew that today, I shouldn't have let Ji Tong marry you that day." Marrying the Gu family's secret guard, you have to be scared. ”

Of course, Chen Yueniang knew how torturous this taste was.

Coral said, "I'd rather be scared." ”

Chen Yueniang was slightly stunned and looked at the coral.

For this silent and attentive daughter-in-law, of course she is satisfied. However, if you like it very much, you really can't talk about it. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are on errands by Gu Wanning's side, and they often contact each other on weekdays, but they can't get close.

She prefers lively pearls, clever and delicate, careful and keen, and even the glass is much more active than coral.

The coral is too silent and silent, and its presence is thin.

At this moment, Chen Yueniang suddenly became close to coral. What he didn't want to say was naturally spoken: "Sango, if something happens to Ji Tong, you must hold on." ”

Just like I was back then.

After hearing the bad news that her husband had died in battle, she cried a lot, and then stopped crying. Dedicated to raising his son to adulthood.

Coral looked resolute in his eyes: "I will." ”

Chen Yueniang's eyes became gentle, and she took the initiative to take Coral's hand: "Ji Tong's vision is really good. ”

Coral smiled, thinking of her husband who was far away at the border, and her heart was sour.

……

Since then, there has been no news of Ji Tong.

Every time he wins a battle, Gu Jinxing always writes a letter.

In the following month, Gu Jinxing wrote a total of three letters to the capital. In these three letters, Ji Tong is not mentioned.

Obviously, the previous assassination and pursuit had made Xiao Rui vigilant and more prepared. Ji Tong, who is in the shadows, has never had a chance to make a move, so he has been silent and has no news.

In a blink of an eye, it was March.

The spring flowers are blooming, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the sun is bright and warm, and it shines warmly in people's hearts.

Xiao Si's full moon ceremony was never held in a big way, and when it came to the 100-day ceremony, Xiao Xu's condition improved, and the border pass won battles again and again. Empress Dowager Min had the idea of organizing a palace banquet. It is quite an opportunity to drive away the bad luck in the palace.

Gu Wanning couldn't bear to disobey Empress Dowager Min's wishes, so he responded and ordered a phoenix to organize a palace banquet.

For the first time in more than a year, a banquet was held in the palace, and the ladies of the three grades or above in Beijing were eligible to attend. Gu Wanning deliberately issued a phoenix decree that every lady could bring her juniors into the palace.

The palace, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became lively.

Many familiar faces appeared in front of Gu Wanning one by one.

Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Pingxibo...... Of course, the female dependents of the Dingbei Hou Mansion are indispensable.

When Mrs. Tai led her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law into the hall, Gu Wanning felt an irrepressible excitement in her heart.

Gu Guanning got up from the phoenix chair, took the initiative to greet him, and called out to his grandmother.
