Chapter 39: Dark Chess
I used to watch it from a distance, and I only knew that the second lady was very beautiful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, when I got closer, I realized that the word beautiful was too shallow to describe the second lady.
The bright and dazzling appearance is certainly breathtaking. What is even more attractive is the intelligence, cleverness, calmness and composure between the eyebrows, as well as the terrifying momentum and coercion exuded by the whole body.
Those sharp eyes were unusually bright, making people unconsciously hold their breath and obey orders, without the slightest hint of resistance.
How can a boudoir girl who grew up in an inner house have such a striking momentum?
Under Ji Tongxin's shock, he was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Gu Guanning for a moment.
Gu Wanning raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a smile: "Ji Tong, have you remembered what I just said?"
What did the second lady just say?!
Ji Tong's mind went blank for a moment, and he reacted quickly, his handsome face suddenly turned red, and the back of his ears was also hot. Hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "The slave forgot for a moment and offended Miss." Please also punish the young lady!"
"If it's offensive to take a second look, I don't know how many people in this house have offended me. ”
Gu Wanning didn't care, and even joked: "In the future, you will have to run errands for me, and the opportunity to meet is indispensable." You don't have to be so inhibited. ”
Ji Tong fixed his mind and responded: "Miss's magnanimity is a blessing for a slave. The slave must do his best to do things for the young lady. The servants will never tell anyone about the errands that the young lady commands. Even when the third master asked, the slave would never reveal a single star. ”
Gu Wanning hummed with satisfaction.
He didn't say much, but he said it strongly.
Sure enough, it's still the trusted and reliable Ji Tong!
Gu Wanning said lightly: "From today onwards, the two hundred personal soldiers will be under your command. I am in the inner courtyard, so it is inconvenient for me to have more contact with them, so I will only give you an account of something, and you will command and assign them to do things. I will tell you to go down, and if you have something to report in the future, go directly to Yiliu Courtyard, and let the maids spread the word. ”
Access to the inner courtyard. This is not only a trust in him, but also a gift of dignity and honor from his master.
In the Hou Mansion, the subordinates who have such treatment are all the henchmen and cronies of the masters. For example, Gu Song, the housekeeper of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Gu Bai, the commander of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and Li Shan, the chief of Gu Hai's side.
Ji Tong didn't expect that he would have such an honor, so he couldn't help but be flattered, and hurriedly responded: "Miss trusts the slave so much, and the slave is grateful. The slave is only afraid that he will not do his job well and live up to the expectations of the young lady. ”
Gu Wanning pursed her lips and smiled, and her voice was a little gentler: "Since I deliberately picked you, I can trust you." ”
The trust in the tone is not fake.
Ji Tong was moved, but he also secretly had doubts in his heart.
The second lady had never had contact with him in the past and didn't know much about him. How could you pick him and trust him so much?
"Are you wondering, there are so many guards in the Hou Mansion, why did I pick you alone and trust you so much?" Gu Wanning's voice sounded leisurely.
Ji Tong was said to have missed his thoughts, and a touch of embarrassment flashed over his handsome face, and he quickly calmed down again: "Yes, the slave was a little surprised in his heart. ”
Gu Wanning naturally wouldn't tell the truth, and moved out the excuse of dealing with the third uncle Gu Hai again: "I practiced martial arts with Master Chen, and Master Chen once praised you in front of me. That's why I picked you. ”
I see!
In the eyes of his mother, his son is of course the best and most outstanding in the world.
The second lady must have listened too much, so she has some impressions of him. Only then did he name him and call him to his side.
Ji Tong was immediately relieved, "Speaking of which, the slave is also unfilial." When I was young, I was busy practicing martial arts, and after the age of fourteen, I often went out on errands, and it was not easy for my mother to see me. It's no wonder that she always talks about slaves in front of people. ”
Gu Wanning was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "You will do a good job as an errand in the future, and in a few years, marrying a daughter-in-law and having a few children will be the greatest filial piety to Master Chen." ”
At that time, Ji Tong died early before he married a wife and had children. Even though Master Chen has a good life, he still has a lot of food and clothes every day, but he is still gloomy and incomprehensible in his heart, and rarely shows his face.
In this life, she will definitely let Chen Fuzi Ji and his mother and son enjoy the glory in peace. It can be regarded as making up for the regrets of the previous life.
Ji Tong was still an eighteen-year-old boy after all, and when he heard that he had a wife and children, he immediately blushed.
Gu Wanning looked at his cramped appearance, and couldn't help but secretly laugh. stopped joking, and quickly got to the point: "What I want to tell you to do, you listen now." ”
Ji Tong restrained his hands and listened carefully.
"First of all, I want you to send someone to keep an eye on Fifth Uncle Shen. ”
Gu Guanning said lightly: "What he does every day, who has seen him, what has he said to him, all the information that can be found will be sent to me without leakage." ”
Ji Tong received the order without hesitation: "Yes, the slave knows." ”
As a guard, it is my duty to obey the orders of my master.
Why the master did this is not something he should inquire about.
Gu Wanning was very satisfied with his performance, and continued: "Send some people to Xijing and secretly stare at Old Lady Shen and the two uncles. and the uncle in the second room, who is also staring at. ”
Old lady Shen is the patriarch of the Shen family, the father of the Shen family, and her maternal grandfather.
In addition to Shen's daughter, Old Lady Shen also has two sons.
The relationship between the second room and the long room has always been close, and several cousins in the second room once found the Shen family and Shen Qian together with the old lady Shen. They all know the private ~ relationship between Shen and Shen Qian back then.
The Gu family's own soldiers have all been trained to stalk and inquire about news, and Ji Tong often performs such tasks, so when he heard this, he immediately nodded and responded: "The slave takes the order." ”
The next commands, one more astonishing than the other.
"Let people keep an eye on every move of the Qi Palace, and pay attention to who the Prince of Qi has in contact with. If there is any abnormality, you must report back to me immediately. ”
"Also, send some people to the Qi king's domain, secretly investigate the actions of the Qi king in the domain, how many private soldiers he secretly raised, and which courtiers he had dealings with. Especially the dealings with military generals, you should pay more attention. ”
"The Prince's Mansion is also secretly staring. ”
……
Pay attention to the movements of Fifth Uncle Shen and the Shen family, it is reasonable.
What does it mean to stare at the King of Qi and the Prince of Qi?
The most surprising thing was the last command.
King Qi's father and son are in-laws of the Gu family, but the prince's mansion and the Dingbei Hou Mansion do not have much contact. Why did the second lady suddenly care about the Prince's Mansion?
One question after another flashed in Ji Tong's mind.
However, he didn't show much surprise on his face, and responded one by one.
Gu Wanning saw that Ji Tong was calm as usual, and he was quite satisfied: "That's all for the time being." If there is any other dispatch in the future, I will command it. ”
