When Zhou Gu came to Nanping Houfu, it was just dawn.

When the gatekeeper saw Zhou Gu, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly opened the door for him, yawning and saluting, "Little Master Zhou." ”

Zhou Gu nodded and asked him, "Which courtyard does Su Rong live in?" ”

The gatekeeper said slowly, "Miss Su Qi?" I came here yesterday, and it seems that I live in the backyard of Ewha Garden. ”

Before the gatekeeper could finish speaking, he saw Zhou Gu rushing to the backyard like a gust of wind.

The gatekeeper was stunned, and suddenly his sleepiness was swept away, although the Nanping Hou Mansion was far away from the capital, but the rumors about Su Rong and Zhou Gu had already spread to the Nanping Hou Mansion, so the people in the mansion had heard the rumors about the two.

The little guy who guarded the door was also a person who loved to get together with three or two little guys after tea and dinner, and he immediately woke up the person who was guarding the door with him, "Hey, wake up, Zhou Xiaogongzi is here, as soon as the person came, he hurriedly asked Miss Su Qi, and now the person has rushed to Pear Garden." ”

The person who was awakened by him immediately rubbed his eyes, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Oh, Zhou Xiaogongzi, here, rushed to the backyard to find Miss Su Qi, look at it is really anxious." This man said: "You hurry up and tell the prince, and by the way, go to the outside of the pear flower garden to have a look." ”

The man nodded, rubbed his eyes, said yes, and ran to the inner courtyard.

Ning Chi had already gotten up, he was used to getting up early, and he was cleaning his face, when he heard that the little guy was coming to report that Zhou Gu was coming in a hurry, he was also stunned for a moment, waved his hand to the little guy, and said, "Got it." ”

After the little guy left, Ning Chi smiled at the personal guard beside him: "I received his letter last night, and he also said in the letter that the matter of the eighteen villages is a little tricky, and he is not easy to go, I am afraid that there will be changes after leaving, but I don't want people to come early this morning." ”

Wu Wu naturally heard the rumors, and he followed Ning Chi since he was a child, and he also knew that after Zhou Gu came to Nanping, he mentioned Su Rong when he sat opposite Ning Chi and drank, and Zhou Gu showed Ning Chi the medicine Su Rong made for him, and was asked unceremoniously by the prince, "I heard that Miss Su Qi has a marriage contract with Nan Chu's second son of the night?" Are you two still in contact with each other? , almost turned his face with the world.

Later, not only did Shizi understand, but he also understood that Zhou Xiaogongzi couldn't let go of Miss Su Qi.

Therefore, as soon as Miss Su Qi arrived in Nanping, Shizi sent someone to send him a letter. When he received his reply, he learned that he would not come back, and the prince also said, "I can bear it, I deserve to be Zhou Gu, a person from the East Palace." ”

But now......

He asked, "Do you want to go to Ewha Garden?" ”

Ning Chi shook his head, "He came early in the morning, went straight to Pear Flower Garden, let them talk first!" I'm not going to bother. ”

Think about it too.

Zhou Gu soon found the Pear Flower Garden where Su Rong lived, and when he arrived, the entire Pear Flower Garden was quiet and still asleep.

He walked lightly and entered the courtyard.

Feng Ling yawned and opened the door, looking at Zhou Gu in surprise, "Childe Thursday? You're coming so fast. ”

He also thought that Zhou Gu had something to do, and he wouldn't come so soon in the Eighteen Villages, maybe the master would leave Nanping with him, as long as he didn't go to the Eighteen Villages, he wouldn't necessarily be able to see him. After all, it hasn't been long since he left Beijing, and it's not like he hasn't seen him for a year and a half, so he won't be in such a hurry.

Zhou Gu nodded, lowered his voice and said, "She's still asleep?" ”

Feng Ling nodded.

Zhou Gu said: "Find a place to talk, don't wake her up." ”

Feng Ling thought to herself, now that she is afraid that she has woken up, and others have found it, she may not have woken up if she knew about it, but if you find it, she must have woken up.

Sure enough, Su Rong's door opened from the inside, she looked at Zhou Gu and beckoned to him, "Coming?" Come in and talk, I'm awake. ”

Feng Ling heaved in his heart, he knew!

Zhou Gu immediately walked towards Su Rong, came to her, and said to her, "I came early and woke you up." ”

Su Rong motioned for him to sit and walked to the copper basin to clean his face.

Zhou Gu sat on the chair, looked at her, and saw that she had finished washing and wiping her hands with a handkerchief, he also stood up and walked over, "I will wash it too." ”

He rode to the Nanping Marquis Mansion early in the morning, and his face was uncomfortable with the wind and dust.

Su Rong nodded and instructed him, "Then you pour this out and replace it with a basin of water." ”

Zhou Gu said "um", poured the water with it, scooped it from the well, and stood in front of the handwashing rack to clean his face.

This time, Su Rong sat at the table and looked at him while wiping his face and hands with balm.

After Zhou Gu wiped it clean, he came back to the table and sat down, looked at Su Rong and said, "You wipe your hands, you didn't make it for me, and you smell a medicinal fragrance." ”

Su Rong looked at him, "You are a man, you also want to use balm?" ”

"I've got a dry face." Zhou Gu pointed to his face, and he knew most in his heart that she liked good-looking people, so he cared a lot about his face, after all, if the night return snow was not good-looking, do you think she would make a marriage contract? That's impossible, "The wind in Nanping is much harder than the wind in Beijing, and the temperature is warmer, which is really strange." ”

"Nanping is mountainous, and it is a mountain wind." Su Rong handed him the balm, "I didn't make this by me, such a cheap thing, it's a waste of my time, if you want it, I'll give it to you!" ”

Zhou Gu blinked, "What do you use after you give it to me?" ”

"Let Feng Ling buy it again." Su Rong asked him, "How did the matter of the Eighteen Villages be handled?" Isn't it tricky? ”

"It's tricky." Speaking of this, Zhou Gu wiped the balm and straightened his expression, "Zhang Ping's sister-in-law Zhang Mao, if my guess is right, he is now in the Eighteen Villages." ”

Su Rong suddenly sat up straight.

Zhang Ping's sister-in-law Zhang Mao is in the Eighteen Villages, what does it mean, as long as Su Rong hears this name and the place he came from, he understands that he is coming for the Eighteen Villages.

In other words, coming to the Eighteen Villages is equivalent to coming to Nanping.

The north of Hebei is also thousands of miles away from Nanping, but the journey of thousands of miles, although it is not close, is not too far.

Zhou Gu continued: "I guess that he came with troops, and he has been checked. ”

"How so? Why the speculation? Su Rong immediately asked.

Zhou Gu told Su Rong about his negotiation experience in the past three days in the eighteenth village, as well as the change in Chen Qi's attitude before and after, and after finishing speaking, he told his speculations one by one.

After listening to this, Su Rong pondered carefully for a moment and affirmed Zhou Gu's speculation, "You are right, Chen Qi's attitude has changed so much, it must be a variable, and now the court situation, the prince has risen to the momentum, and the eighteen villages represented by Chen Qi do not even want to take refuge in the prince, and do not accept the court's recruitment, then, someone must have promised him great benefits, and he was tempted." ”

"In today's imperial court, who can give better treatment than the preferential treatment promised by the crown prince? Your Majesty can't do it, but the second prince is possible, but behind the second prince, we all know, it's the Pingxi General's Mansion and Zhang Ping. And the person who can persuade Chen Qi and make him make up his mind to bet on the treasure is not only Zhang Ping himself, but also his sister-in-law Zhang Mao. ”

Su Rong narrowed his eyes, "There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Nanping Marquis Mansion, if the northern Hebei really transfers troops, plus an eighteen villages, Nanping will be in danger." ”

She immediately decided, "Send a message to the prince Feiying, send it to the capital as soon as possible, and ask the prince to transfer troops to Nanping." I don't know if it's too late. ”

After she finished speaking, she said: "Your third brother Zhou Che, on the order of the crown prince, secretly dispatched 100,000 soldiers and horses to Mobei to help me, and now he should be halfway there." It's better to send him a message, let him not go to northern Hebei, and after receiving the message, quickly change the route to Nanping. ”

Commuter pass, what's it?
