Chapter 1168: Take Poyang County
The wheels turned, and the carriage swirled forward. ()
In the carriage, laughter and laughter came out one after another.
The maid sitting on the left side of the Gu family smiled and said, "Madam, the little maid dreamed last night that you gave birth to a son. ”
Gu Shi chuckled and said, "Lu'er, your mouth is so sweet. ”
The maid sitting on the right side of the Gu clan immediately said, "Madam, Sister Lu'er's words must be true. If you worship the Buddha every day and do good deeds every day, the Buddha will definitely bless you to give birth to a big fat boy. ”
"Okay, take your good words."
Gu Shi reached out and touched his belly, hoping that it was a boy in his belly.
Zhou Shi loves her very much, but when a woman is old and decrepit, if she can't give birth to a boy, the bloodline of the Zhou family can't be passed on, and Zhou Shi will definitely take a concubine. Only the Gu family can ensure that the status is unshakable. Gu took the two maids to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, just to get the boy.
The carriage drove away.
When the carriage reached a remote mountain road, it came to a sudden stop.
The carriage stopped, and it shook several times in succession.
The maid on the left side of the Gu family stiffened her face and said coquettishly: "Madame is pregnant and can't be bumpy, how did you drive?" If Madame is unwell, can you bear it? ”
The groom said intermittently: "Mountain... Bandits, there's... There are bandits! ”
When the maid heard this, her face became extremely ugly.
A hint of panic flashed in Gu's eyes, but he was quite calm and did not lose his square inch because of the encounter with the bandits. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked around, only to see that the black pressure around the mountain road was full of human heads, and there were nearly 100 people. There is a man who is strong and strong, giving people the impression of being sharp, and is obviously the leader of the bandits.
This person was Zhou Tai, who brought nearly 100 people to surround the Gu family.
Jiang Qin led 300 soldiers to cut off the front and back ends of the mountain road to prevent anyone from discovering the Zhou Tai robbery.
Gu's face turned slightly pale, he grabbed his skirt with both hands, took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and said, "Heroes, you are blocking the way just to ask for money. Please raise your noble hands, and the concubines are willing to give thousands of gold. ”
Gu knew that he couldn't run away, and wanted to use money to eliminate the disaster, but he found the wrong person.
Zhou Tai is not short of money, what he lacks is people.
Zhou Tai shook his head and said, "Mrs. Zhou, I don't ask for money, I just want to invite Mrs. Zhou to live in the mountains." Please rest assured, Mrs. Zhou, we have no malicious intent. Mrs. Zhou is pregnant, and I hope Mrs. Zhou can cooperate and not hurt the child in her belly. When the Zhou County Order comes, he will let Mrs. Zhou leave, and he will also let the Zhou County Order leave. ”
Gu's eyes widened, and she chuckled in her heart, but she didn't expect it to be aimed at her husband.
At this time, Gu Shi calmed down.
Gu's mind turned, and he said simply: "In this case, please lead the way." However, it is enough for me to have one maid by my side, so let the other one report the news. ”
Zhou Tai shook his head and said, "No need, I will send someone to inform Zhou County Order." ”
With a wave of Zhou Tai's hand, a soldier personally drove and took Gu towards the mountain.
……
Taishou Mansion, in the study.
When Zhou Shi was dealing with government affairs, the old housekeeper hurriedly walked in, still holding a letter in his hand. The old housekeeper handed the letter to Zhou Shi and said, "Master, someone just sent a letter to the concierge for you to read for yourself." ”
Zhou Shi took the letter, and his face changed greatly after seeing the content of the letter.
"Bang!"
Zhou Shi pressed the letter on the desk and asked, "What about the person who sent the letter?" Is it still outside the house? ”
The old butler shook his head and said, "No, I don't know where I went." ”
Zhou Shi instructed: "Prepare the carriage, I want to go out of the city." ”
The old butler was very puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what happened?" ”
Zhou Shi's expression was serious, and he said coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just go and prepare the carriage, and I'll drive out of the city to do errands." Remember, don't get the word out that I'm out of town on errands, and if there's anything else, I'll deal with it when I get back. ”
"Yes!"
The old housekeeper didn't ask much, and immediately prepared a carriage for Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi snorted and burned the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who you are, if Mrs. has three longs and two shorts, this official and you will not stand together." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Shi left the study, went straight out of the county government, and drove towards the location set outside the city.
An hour later, Zhou Shi drove to the location where Gu was robbed.
As soon as the carriage arrived, Zhou Tai sent someone to take Zhou Shi to the mountain. After Zhou Shi saw Zhou Tai, he was not polite, and said directly: "What about my wife?" I want to see Madame. ”
Zhou Tai ordered the soldiers beside him, "Take him with you!" ”
The soldier took Zhou Shi to see Gu, and about half an hour later, Zhou Shi was taken to the grass house by the soldiers.
Zhou Shi saw that the Gu family was safe and sound, and his heart settled down.
He looked at Zhou Tai and asked, "Dare to ask who Your Excellency is, what is the matter with this official?" ”
Zhou Tai said in a deep voice: "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Zhou, my name is Tai, the word is Youping, and I am still my family with Zhou County." Today, I invited Zhou County Commander to the mountains in order to discuss a major matter with Zhou County Order. ”
"Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai!!"
After Zhou Shi muttered twice, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed: "You are Zhou Tai, the deputy governor of the Shu Army?" ”
"Yes, I am."
Zhou Tai said in a deep voice: "Zhou County Ling is a smart person, after guessing my identity, he will definitely be able to guess my purpose." This time, I invited the Zhou County Order to come, because I wanted the Zhou County Order to return to the King of Shu and serve the King of Shu, I don't know what the Zhou County Order wants? ”
Zhou Shi smiled bitterly: "It's just a small county order, but let the deputy governor of the navy of Shu come in person, I'm afraid things are not so simple!" "Zhou Shi can become the lord of a county from a down-and-out Confucian student, obviously it is impossible to rely on his own knowledge, but also his own ability, Zhou Tai must have something important to come in person.
Zhou Tai nodded and said, "Zhou County's order is right, it is indeed an important matter. After the Zhou County Order returned to the Queen of Shu, first, there was no need for the Zhou County Order to charge into battle, second, there was no need for the Zhou County Order to announce the submission with great fanfare, and third, there was no need for the Zhou County Order to go to Sun Quan's side to be an undercover agent. As long as Zhou County's order maintains the status quo in Poyang County, when Lusu sends people to requisition food, it will be enough to make a little effort. Wait for Yuzhang County to take it, and Zhou County will announce the return to Shu State, what do you think? ”
Zhou Shi pondered for a while and said, "My wife is in the hands of Zhou Dudu, can you not agree?" ”
In fact, when Zhou Shi saw Gu's, he knew something from Gu's mouth. The difference is that the Gu family didn't know Zhou Tai's identity, nor did he know the specific things, but only knew that Zhou Tai was a general of the Shu army. Although the Gu family was a woman, she knew that the Shu army was unstoppable, and it was a matter of time before she captured Yuzhang County, so she persuaded Zhou Shi to return to obedience.
Zhou Shi learned that the Shu army had surrendered, and he had an idea.
Zhou Tailiang made it clear that he was coming, and Zhou Shi agreed.
"The Zhou County Decree is refreshing, since the Zhou County Decree has agreed, we will continue to serve as the county magistrate according to our established things, and wait for Lu Su to send someone to collect grain." Zhou Tai laughed, quite excited.
Zhou Shi asked: "Zhou Dudu, my wife is pregnant, this ......"
Zhou Tai said dryly: "When you leave, take Mrs. Zhou away directly." I believe that Zhou Xianling is a smart person and will not make situations that are unfavorable to him. Zhou County Commander cooperates well, everything is easy to say, if Zhou County Commander makes any small moves, your wife is not safe whether she is in the county government or in the capital of Wu State. Therefore, the governor of Pontus asked you to bring Mrs. Zhou back so as not to affect the child. ”
Zhou Shi said gratefully: "Thank you Governor Zhou, thank you Governor Zhou." ”
Zhou Tai's generosity made Zhou Shi very happy, but he didn't expect Zhou Tai to speak so well. However, Zhou Shi also knew that if he did not cooperate with the Shu army, the greater the attack.
However, Zhou Shi had already made up his mind to return to Shu, and there were no other problems.
