Chapter 59: The Legend of the Willow (1)

After Zhao Gu returned to the barracks, Cao Wei immediately found him, and the two looked at each other slightly, and they quickly understood what they meant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Gu knew that Cao Wei had been waiting for Zhao Gu to come back during this time, and at the same time, he also tied up General Wang, and Cao Wei also saw from Zhao Gu's eyes the joy that the military order had been properly resolved.

I have to say that sometimes the friendship between men is also very mysterious.

Neither of them spoke, but exchanged words silently, and then the two of them took the new army to the outside of Kaifeng City, during which no one found that Zhao Gu had returned, just as no one knew that Zhao Gu had left.

After arriving outside Kaifeng, Cao Wei entered the city to hand over the military order, and got the order of the new army to rest on the spot, Cao Wei gave the recruits a three-day vacation, and then returned to the barracks to assemble after three days.

The recruits went home happily, including several generals, and all of them left the barracks as soon as possible.

The barracks suddenly emptied, leaving only Cao Wei and Zhao Gu.

Cao Wei handed Zhao Gu a piece of paper and said, "You really have the ability, you actually asked the Privy Council to delay the military order to exterminate Tiger Mountain for half a month." ”

Cao Wei hadn't heard about Lu Mengzheng's family at this time, so there was no difference in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Gu, but he didn't know how he would react when he heard about it.

After all, except for Zhao Pu and Xiaozhuzi, it can be guessed that Lu Mengzheng's matter was secretly promoted by Zhao Gu, and only Cao Wei is left.

Zhao Gu took the military order and looked at it, and saw that the content on it was still to exterminate Tiger Mountain, but the departure time had been changed to three days later, and the deadline was half a month to complete.

In addition, the 1,000 recruits for this crackdown on bandits will be led by Zhao Gu alone, rather than with General Wang.

As for General Wang, Cao Wei escorted him to the Privy Council when he entered the city, although he didn't know what the end would be, but it wouldn't be too good.

"Thank you, General Cao, this time." Zhao Gu put away the paperwork and hugged his fists.

Cao Wei smiled: "I'm also thinking about a thousand recruits, and I wish you good luck on your expedition." ”

Zhao Gu smiled back, and the two separated, Cao Wei naturally went home, and Zhao Gu rushed to the county lord's mansion non-stop.

With excitement, Zhao Gu knocked on the door of the county lord's mansion, thinking that he would be able to see Su Xiaocheng later, and anyone could see the joy on Zhao Gu's face.

It was still the porter who received Zhao Gu, but before Zhao Gu could ask, he directly told Zhao Gu that the Lord of Cheshire remembered Chai Jun, the king of Yunnan, so he went back to Yunnan to accompany Chai Jun for the New Year, and Su Xiaocheng, as her good sister, couldn't bear to be lonely on the road with the Lord of Cheshire, so he also followed.

"I'm not at home." Zhao Gu smiled bitterly, and then did not stay, said goodbye to the porter, and went back to Baiwei Restaurant directly.

didn't see Su Xiaocheng, Zhao Gu's mood was naturally very low, I don't know when this gentle woman had occupied his heart.

Fighting his spirits, Zhao Gu called the two sisters of Rock Candy and Sydney, and asked about the operation of Baiwei Restaurant these days, and learned that since the imperial court revoked the order to restrict grain procurement, the business of Baiwei Restaurant has resumed booming again, and the turnover of Baiwei Restaurant is basically about 10,000 copper plates a day.

Hearing that the business of Baiwei Restaurant was good, Zhao Gu was quite comforted, and it can be said that this news is the best news he has heard in recent times.

Grabbed a handful of copper plates in the box where the money was collected, Zhao Gu distributed them to the two sisters, patted their heads, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, take it to sell food." ”

The two sisters were very happy, especially the little girl in Sydney, who happily kissed Zhao Gu on the face.

Bingtang glanced at Zhao Gu with a slightly red face, and then went to work again, I don't know if it was shyness or something else.

Holding the little girl Sydney, Zhao Gu then entered the back kitchen, said hello to Master Li and the two kitchen guys, and pointed out their cooking techniques by the way.

After noon, when there were many fewer customers in the store, Zhao Gu had lunch with everyone.

During the banquet, Zhao Gu announced that he would raise everyone's salary by 100 copper plates, and Master Li would raise his salary by 300 copper plates alone.

After lunch, Zhao Gu was rarely idle, so he moved a reclining chair, covered his legs with a blanket, and took a nap in the courtyard.

This sleep, sleeping so refreshed, Zhao Gu has not slept so leisurely for a long time, and when he woke up, it was about three or four o'clock in the next life.

"I don't know how the two dogs are doing?" Zhao Gu thought about it and decided to go to the brothers' dart game to have a look.

When they arrived at the brothers' dart game, all the darts saw Zhao Gu, and they all hurriedly saluted, Zhao Gu returned the salute one by one, and asked about the two dogs and the three of them, but learned that they all went out to escort the darts, and none of them were in the dart game.

Zhao Gu couldn't help but smile bitterly, how could he feel that all the people he knew were not in Kaifeng.

In desperation, Zhao Gu had to go back to Baiwei Restaurant again, take a shower after dinner, and prepare to go to bed.

As soon as he didn't want to lie down, the little girl knocked on his door.

"Come in, what's wrong?" Zhao Gu asked.

Bingtang walked in with a red face, and saw that Zhao Gu was only wearing underwear, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and said, "Boss, the pretty sister in the ready-to-wear store next door said that she was looking for something with you, so I came over to report it." ”

A ready-to-wear store?

Zhao Gu soon remembered that the ready-to-wear store next door to him was called Liu Ji Ready-to-Wear Store, which was opened by the masked woman who helped Su Xiaocheng escape from the city when he hijacked him and escaped from prison that day.

When the Baiwei restaurant first opened, the masked woman was ready to come over for dinner, but then she didn't know why she left again.

How can she ask me for help?

Although she was not familiar with the masked woman, Zhao Gu could see that she was a strong woman, and she would not ask for help if she didn't encounter difficulties.

"Where is she now?" Zhao Gu thought about it for a while, and felt that it would not be a big deal if he could really repay the masked woman, so he asked.

Bingtang said: "Sister Qiaoqiao is next door, she said boss, if you really want to help, go over by yourself." ”

Do you want me to go over? Is this a begging attitude?

Zhao Gu smiled, but he didn't care, he was a lazy person with a tolerant mentality, as long as it didn't violate his bottom line, he could generally understand.

"Well, then I'll go see her."

Zhao Gu got dressed, and accompanied by rock candy, came to Liu Ji Ready-to-Wear Store.

Along the way, Zhao Gu asked a few words about rock candy, and learned that the masked woman was a kind-hearted person, very good for the fatherless and motherless rock sugar Sydney, everyone was a neighbor, she knew the life experience of the two sisters, and from time to time she would bring some food to the two sisters, and occasionally she would take the rock sugar Sydney pear to play on the street in her spare time.

Zhao Gu nodded secretly when he listened, this masked woman was really a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
