Gu Wanning's heart warmed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Support regardless of the reason, trust without hesitation.

This is the real family.

"Third uncle, I came to you today, and I really have something to ask for. "In front of real relatives, there is no need to test each other around the bush. Gu Wanning said calmly: "I want to find someone for you." ”

Gu Hai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Is the maid next to you not enough?"

As soon as the words came out, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Look at me, I'm really confused." You deliberately opened your mouth to ask me for someone, but naturally you didn't want a maid. ”

Gu Guanning also smiled slightly: "Yes, what I want is someone under the third uncle." ”

The Gu family has been a general for generations and has hundreds of soldiers. These pro-soldiers are strong in martial arts, good at combat, and loyal to the Gu family. The Gu family stands tall in the court, and these battle-hardened soldiers have made great contributions.

After the soldiers got married and left their children, they would go to the battlefield with their masters. Few of the men of the Gu family died in their lives, and most of the Gu family's personal soldiers died on the battlefield. Only those who are over fifty years old or too seriously injured can retire from the battlefield.

They were not afraid of death on the battlefield, protected the safety of their masters, and charged with Gu Jiaerlang's conquest. The Gu family has never treated them badly. The children of the relatives and soldiers are all raised by the Gu family. If you die in battle, you will have a very generous settlement fee. When the children grow up, the Gu family will also arrange errands for them.

Without worries, these pro-soldiers will work hard to serve the Gu family.

When Gu Zhan went to the border gate, he took away half of his own soldiers. Later, Gu Zhan died in battle, and the soldiers around him were almost killed and wounded. For the Gu family, it was really a big injury.

Later, Gu Song attacked the title, and when he went to the border pass, he brought two hundred personal soldiers to it. There are only more than 100 pro-soldiers left in the capital.

…… These are well-known things!

However, Gu Guanning knows very well that the Gu family's family background is far more than that.

The imperial court had strict regulations on the number of personal soldiers under the command of military generals. The Gu family can have five hundred soldiers, which is already the maximum number allowed by the imperial court. You must know that the East Palace Prince's Mansion only has a thousand personal soldiers. And the king of Qi, who was in the domain, could only have 800 personal soldiers.

These are all superficial regulations. In fact, there are by no means a few generals who privately support their own soldiers.

No matter how loyal and patriotic the Gu family is, they will not be stupid enough to put all their hole cards on the table.

In addition to the 500 personal soldiers that can be owned, there are at least about 2,000 private soldiers raised by the Gu family in the dark. Every year, the Gu family secretly spends a huge amount of gold and silver for this.

There are no more than three people in the Gu family who know about these things.

Gu Hai's eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Did your mother tell you this?"

Gu Song was far away at the border, and he didn't even mention the Fang family. Thinking about it this way, Gu Wanning must have learned from Mrs. Tai about the Gu family's secret support of private soldiers.

Gu Guanning nodded without changing his face: "Yes." When my grandmother was talking to me, she occasionally slipped through the cracks. However, when I asked again, she would not elaborate. I only know that these private soldiers have always been in charge of the third uncle. I don't know anything else. ”

In fact, Mrs. Tai never mentioned it in front of her.

In his previous life, after the death of the crown prince, Emperor Yuanyou was seriously ill and wanted to pass the throne directly to his grandson. The king of Qi raised troops and led the troops to force the palace. Emperor Yuanyou was so angry that he was dying. The grandson was injured by the spies who had been lurking around him for many years, and the king of Qi had an internal response in the palace, and the inside and outside should be combined to enter the palace.

The grandson died under the arrows of the prince of Qi.

She led her son out of the palace in a panic.

At the most critical juncture, the third uncle Gu Hai ordered Ji Tong to lead all the Gu family's personal soldiers and private soldiers to come. They desperately escorted her and her son out of the capital, and then followed her back to the capital to regain the country that belonged to her son.

……

These private soldiers of the Gu family are now in the hands of Gu Hai.

What Gu Wanning wanted was these private soldiers hidden in the shadows.

"Wanning," Gu Hai retracted all his smiles, and his expression became solemn: "It's not that the third uncle refuses to agree to you." It's just, you're a boudoir girl, what's the use of a private soldier?"

Without waiting for Gu Wanning to answer, he continued to speak:

"If you have anything to do, just tell the third uncle, and the third uncle will do it for you, and you don't have to do it yourself. ”

lest she get into any unjust things and dirty her hands.

Gu Wanning heard the meaning of love in Gu Hai's words, and a burst of warmth surged in his heart: "I understand the kindness of the third uncle. However, there are some things that I don't want to fake. ”

Gu Hai frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Wanning, what do you want to do?"

Gu Wanning raised his head, and a hint of apology flashed in his black and bright eyes like jewels: "Third uncle, I'm sorry." I have a last resort, and it is inconvenient to tell the truth. I assure you, though. Everything I do in the future is for our Gu family, and I will never harm the Gu family in the slightest. ”

"Please believe me, third uncle!"

Gu Wanning's expression was resolute, and his words were sonorous and powerful. With unquestionable power.

Gu Hai was shocked by Gu Guanning like this, and he didn't react for a while. After a while, he came back to his senses: "Of course the third uncle believes in you." How many people do you want?"

Gu Hai asked directly, and Gu Guanning replied very neatly: "Soldiers are not expensive! Two hundred soldiers are enough." ”

Gu Hai: "......"

Two hundred?

The corners of Gu Hai's mouth twitched slightly: "Guan Ning, you're not joking with the third uncle!"

Most of Gu Jiaming's manpower was taken to the border pass, and the remaining hundred or so personal soldiers were left in the Dingbei Hou Mansion to patrol and keep vigil. These hands cannot be appropriated.

There are a total of 2,000 private soldiers in the Gu family, and 200 people account for one-tenth, which seems to be not much. But among the 2,000 private soldiers, there are only about 500 who can be called elite soldiers.

She wants 200 elite soldiers with one mouth, which is like a lion's mouth wide open!

If it weren't Gu Guanning, the smartest and calmest niece standing in front of him, it would be strange for Gu Hai not to turn his face and pick up talents.

"Such an important matter, how could I joke with the third uncle. ”

Gu Wanning turned a blind eye to Gu Hai's not very beautiful face, and said seriously: "By the way, I still have to find the third uncle to ask for someone who can manage things." I am in the boudoir, and there are many things that are inconvenient to show up, so someone has to take care of these two hundred elite soldiers for me. ”

…… Even the commander of the own army is going to be on board! It seems that it is really not a joke.

"You don't want to ask Gu Bai over!" Gu Hai was half helpless and half joking.

Gu Bai is Linglong's father and the commander of the Dingbei Hou Mansion. Martial arts, shrewd and capable. He has great prestige among his own soldiers. can be called Gu Hai's right-hand man.

Gu Wanning pursed his lips and smiled, revealing two shallow pear vortices: "A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others!" Gu Bai is the third uncle's most powerful henchman, how dare I move this thought." The third uncle just give Ji Tong to me. ”

…… Gu Hai's head hurts!

Gu Bai is over forty years old, and he has injuries and illnesses, and he has been secretly cultivating a successor in the past two years.

Unfortunately, this successor is Ji Tong who Gu Guanning "casually" mentioned.

Ji Tong is eighteen years old this year, silent and silent, calm and careful. The skills are also the top among the pro-soldiers, and it is not an exaggeration to fight ten against one. His father followed Gu Zhan to the border and died on the battlefield three years ago. Ji Tong has also been working in Fuzhong since that time and has been following Gu Bai all the time.

Gu Hai coughed and said with a smile: "Ji Tong is too young and not experienced enough, let him command two hundred elite soldiers, I'm afraid that he won't be able to do it, and it won't be good if he delays your important affairs when he is not on an errand." In this case, I will be generous and choose another ...... for you who is good and shrewd."

"No need!" Gu Wanning smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Being young has the advantage of being young. Bloody, willing to take responsibility, and full of energy. It's the same season!"

In her previous life, Ji Tong followed and guarded her for nearly a year, and finally died for her.

In this life, she will treat the loyal Ji Tong well and make everyone around her safe and sound.

Gu Hai wanted to say anything more, Gu Wanning had already looked at him with a trusting and dependent gaze: "Third Uncle has always been the best to me, and he will definitely not refuse such a small request from me!"

Faced with such a pair of eyes full of pleading and trust, where could Gu Hai say a word?
