Chapter 12: The Name of Kyushu
After four or five miles of road, the road was potholes and immediately bumpy, Gu Mingzhu got off the horse, walked to the side of the road and loosened the reins, and walked towards the woods alone.
The mountains were silent, and soon they came to the end of the forest.
"Miss." A figure silently appeared behind him.
Gu Mingzhu looked into the distance, said in a light tone, "How did you explain what you did?" ”
Under the sun, the people in Tsing Yi were extremely respectful: "Everything is arranged according to the instructions of the young lady." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "It seems that it is doing well, how is Honeysuckle over there?" ”
"Honeysuckle letter, our people are doing well, and they are on their way to Gangneung at the moment."
Gu Mingzhu stood with his hands in his hands, was silent for a moment, turned his head and said, "Were you injured last night?" ”
Under the silver dragon mask, the eyebrows of the man in Tsing Yi drooped very low: "Miss Xie cares, yesterday and Miss's guards were just a simple move, and they were not injured in early autumn." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Yang Jiu is my brother's personal guard, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts are not under the three of you, if you meet in the future, don't clash head-on." ”
"Early autumn understands." Chu Qiu raised his head and said, "The moon words beside Miss are a little strange. ”
Speaking of Yueyan, Gu Mingzhu's cold expression was a little more interesting, and said: "This person has a clever heart, and he can always guess what I want to do, help me openly and secretly, and check her details." ”
"My subordinates understand."
Gu Mingzhu took two steps forward, his eyes were slightly gloomy: "I went to Xiangbei to check the accident, there are other things to do, at least for more than a month, the matter of Jiangling will be handed over to you for the time being, I know that you are doing things safely, but I still want to tell you a few words, the matter of Chun Yuzi is big, it is not trivial, you must not take it lightly." ”
Early Autumn respectfully lowered her eyes: "Early Autumn understands that it will live up to Miss's intentions." ”
"If the money is not enough, I will make it back again."
Chu Qiu said: "Except for the tight money in the east, we are fine. ”
Gu Mingzhu nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "The east can't be tight, when I get to Xiangbei, I will pay some silver taels from this side first." ”
It's almost time.
Gu Mingzhu said: "Go ahead." ”
In early autumn, he saluted: "The subordinates are waiting for the young lady in Gangneung." ”
Gu Mingzhu walked out of the woods, the road was quiet, the horses were happily gnawing on the grass, and when they heard the voice of their master, they walked towards her with great humanity.
Gu Mingzhu smiled and reached out to stroke the horse's head: "Full?" ”
Marss exhaled.
Gu Mingzhu got on his horse and waited, and after waiting for about a moment, the four of them finally converged, and on the evening of the third day, they entered the northwest realm.
The northwest is also known as Kyushu in the mouth of the people, and Kyushu includes nine major state cities in the northwest, three counties and six counties, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the king of Dingbei.
The territory of the Li State is huge, and the princes and princes all have fiefs, but a prince of the opposite sex with an army of 500,000 like Kyushu can't find a second one in the world.
Speaking of Kyushu, we have to mention that Xu Wei, the king of the north, has guarded the northwest for more than 30 years, protecting one territory, protecting the people of Kyushu, and blocking foreign enemies from all sides, and winning the love of the people of Dali.
Xu Wei was crowned king five years ago, when the old emperor came to Dingyang City in the northwest on a visit, the news leaked, the enemy army raised troops to besiege the city, and there were changes in the army, Xu Wei and the old emperor were trapped in Dingyang City for half a month.
"Then how did Dingyang get out of trouble?" Chun'er asked.
Gu Mingzhu smiled and didn't speak.
Yang Jiumu had a face, and there was little other expression on his face, and said: "Dingyang was besieged for half a month, the commander was trapped in the army, the people were panicked, and the opening in the north of the capital was about to be torn open, Xu Shizi, who was only fifteen years old at the time, led 10,000 elite soldiers to run thousands of miles, attacked the enemy camp at night, killed the enemy commander, and the dilemma of Dingyang was solved."
Chun'er exclaimed: "That Xu Shizi is really amazing!" ”
"The people revere the king of Dingbei, but the soldiers worship Xu Shizi as a god."
Chun'er nodded as if she didn't understand.
Yue Yan said: "In the year of the weak crown, but being able to command the three armies, such a deterrent is not necessarily a good thing." ”
When she said this, her eyes fell on Gu Mingzhu in front of her, and the girl was sitting on a horse, her back was swaying, and her hair was like ink flying in the wind.
Yue Yan retracted her gaze and said with a smile: "It is rumored that Xu Shizi is a young hero, and he was born handsome and unparalleled, and everyone who said that he was close to breaking the threshold of Xu Mansion." ”
To enter Kyushu, it is necessary to cross the Mae River that crosses the north and south, and the four of them go up by boat, and when it is about to dark, they finally reach the southernmost state city of Kyushu, Weishui Castle.
The night in the north was bitingly cold, Gu Mingzhu's body was delicate, and her face was pale by the cold wind, so the four of them found an inn and rested early.
At dawn on the second day, Chun'er was waiting for Gu Mingzhu to get up and freshen up, and just took out the earrings, the innkeeper came up and knocked on the door outside: "Miss, someone is looking for you." ”
Chun'er carefully put on the red agate earrings for Gu Mingzhu, today's miss chose a crescent white dress, plain, sixteen years old is the delicate age, this pair of agate earrings are brightly colored, making up for the plain of the dress, and with the phoenix butterfly peach hairpin, it complements each other.
Chun'er heard Xiao Er's words, put down the comb and went out to take a look, and quickly returned: "Miss, it's the second master who is here." ”
Before Gu Mingzhu could react, a hearty laugh had already come from the door: "Wanwan." ”
Gu Mingzhu saw the person coming clearly, and ran towards him happily: "Second uncle! ”
Gu Cheng vigorously hugged the oncoming villain, and said in a doting tone, "I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and the little girl has lost a lot of weight." ”
Gu Mingzhu got out of his little head from his arms, and his face couldn't hide his happiness: "Second uncle, I miss you to death." ”
Gu Cheng scratched the tip of her nose, let go of Gu Mingzhu, and said, "My little ancestor, the second uncle also misses you, as soon as I received the letter from the eldest brother, I knew that you were coming, so I came to pick it up in person." ”
Gu Mingzhu grabbed his arm, like a clingy child, and said, "This time I came to Xiangbei, I will definitely live well for a while." ”
When Gu Cheng heard this, he was exactly what he wanted, and said: "Wanwan can live as long as she wants, the second uncle wishes that you have been living in Xiangbei, without you being a little trickster, the second uncle is also bored." ”
"Second uncle......" Gu Mingzhu was coquettish.
Gu Cheng said: "Okay, okay, let's play with you, the carriage is ready, let's talk while walking." ”
The group went downstairs and took the Gu family's carriage to Xiangbei.
In the evening of the day, the group finally arrived in Xiangbei, an extremely rich state and county in Kyushu.
The Gu family's mansion in Xiangbei is not eye-catching, it is a courtyard with two gardens. Although it is not large, it is exquisitely furnished, and the backyard and the front shop are connected by a long corridor, all the way unimpeded.
Gu Mingzhu stayed in the idle Xiyuan, and after cleaning up, it was already dark, so he took Yueyan to find Gu Cheng.
In the corridor of the East Courtyard, Gu Cheng was talking to someone, and when the two approached, they heard Gu Cheng frowning and asking, "How much is expected?" ”
A man of about forty years old replied: "Great treasurer, this time the Zeng family is menacing, if we want to be uncontrolled by others, I am afraid that we will have to have a lot of blood." ”
Business?
Gu Mingzhu called out at the right time: "Second uncle." ”
The two were interrupted from talking, Gu Cheng glanced at her voice when he heard her voice, and then said to the man: "This matter will be decided slowly." ”
