Gu Mingzhu was woken up by a chill.

There was a dense coolness on her arm, she struggled to open her eyes, Xu Jue was smearing medicine on her, and every time she applied it, she had to gently rub the blood.

In this slow gentleness, she slowly came to her senses, her eyes were full of softness, and she said in a dumb voice: "Why do you look like a rich little daughter-in-law." ”

Xu Jue smiled when he heard this, kept moving his hands, and said, "I have to do it." ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "A Jue ......"

"Huh?"

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "Your skin has thickened a lot." ”

Xu Jue leaned over, kissed her forehead, and said, "Get up and eat something, for the sake of planning, we have to leave at dawn." ”

After eating, it was already the fourth watch, and the entire Duanzhou City was in a state of tranquility.

The carriage passed through the rain and stopped in front of the governor's house.

Gu Mingzhu slept well and got out of the car refreshed, where she met Cao Cheng, the governor of Duanzhou.

The man was shivering and detained in the back hall of the governor's mansion, and his wife and young children were also shrunk in the corner.

Because of the sound of the door, he retreated in fear.

The lights are lit.

Cao Cheng raised his eyes fearfully and boldly, first a pair of boots, a dark red robe, and a white belt, the man squatted down and looked at him at eye level, Cao Cheng saw a pair of bright eyes.

The man under the silver mask hooked his lips and said, "Cao Zhizhou? ”

Cao Cheng stepped back, not that he couldn't tell whether the person was a man or a woman, he saw his figure clearly in hindsight, and said in a lost voice: "Female? ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly and said, "It's a woman, it's unexpected?" ”

Cao Cheng's eyes were filled with hatred and fear: "I never expected that King Ming, who has disturbed the southeast chickens and dogs in the past few days, is actually a woman!" ”

Gu Mingzhu stood up, looked down at him, swept over his wife, sons, and daughters behind him, and said, "I came to see you, not to listen to your nonsense. There is only one path in front of you. ”

"What way?"

"This Duanzhou Zhizhou, are you still doing it?"

Cao Cheng looked up suddenly.

Do not do it?

He was indignant: "Can I not do it? ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "Naturally, I can, then I will send your family to Huangquan." ”

When Cao Cheng's wife heard this, she hugged the child in her arms in horror: "Master, ......"

Cao Cheng was indignant: "Despicable! ”

Gu Mingzhu sat down, it was raining outside the door, and under the corridor in the distance, in a haze, Xu Jue was talking to Chuqiu and Yueyan.

She was silent for a while, and looked sideways at Cao Cheng: "Cao Zhizhou is loyal, iron-clad, and Mingyi." ”

The man at the door heard the summons and entered.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Send Cao Zhizhou's family on the road." ”

The young man's face was expressionless: "Yes." ”

He pulled out his sword, and as soon as he took a step, Cao Cheng couldn't help but scream: "Wait! Wait a minute...... I ......"

Gu Mingzhu waved his hand, and Ming Yi put away his sword.

She smiled slightly and said, "I will hand over the people of Duanzhou to you to appease, and the Duweifu will be replaced by my people, and from now on Duanzhou will be included in my territory." ”

Cao Cheng listened silently.

Gu Mingzhu paused, and continued: "Cao Zhizhou also knows my means, since you have surrendered, don't let me know that you have two hearts, otherwise the world is so big, even if it is in Jiangling City, I will definitely be able to kill you." ”

Cao Cheng's face was full of sadness, but he still kowtowed: "The lower officials know." ”

Gu Mingzhu went out.

A thousand Yanyun had already crossed the waterway in advance, and she couldn't delay any longer.

On the second day of the march, around dusk, the rain stopped.

In early autumn, I found a clean plot and lit a fire for heating.

Gu Mingzhu sat by the fire and roasted his hands, and after a while, the medicine was handed over.

Chuqiu sat down beside her and said, "It's time to take medicine." ”

Gu Mingzhu took the bowl and drank it slowly because of the hot breath.

In the early autumn, he put the hare he had just caught on the fire and roasted it, stared at her to drink medicine by the way, and looked at Gu Mingzhu and frowned after taking a sip, he never soothed it from beginning to end, and couldn't help but say: "Miss, you better drink it quickly, Yueyan specially told me to watch you finish drinking." ”

Gu Mingzhu took a big sip, frowned bitterly, and asked, "What about Yueyan?" ”

"Patrolling in front, after a day's journey, the team is somewhat attrition."

Chu Qiu turned over the sizzling rabbit meat and continued: "Yueyan has been a little strange for the past two days. ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "What's strange? ”

Chu Qiu said: "She just fried this medicine herself, but I asked me to send it to you, and I went to patrol by myself, as if I was a little afraid to see Miss." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled, frowned and drank the rest of the medicine, took out a piece of sugar to relieve the bitterness, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Jue talking to someone not far away.

It is several squad leaders and Duanzhou squad leaders of Yan Yunqi.

In addition to Yan Yuncai, they also brought 3,000 defenders from Duanzhou with them this time, all of whom were selected strong soldiers.

Seven people gathered around Xu Jue, not knowing what they were talking about.

Chu Qiu followed her gaze and said with a smile: "These soldiers are very respectful of the world...... Son. ”

In early autumn, he changed his tune at the right time.

After thinking about it, he said: "It's no wonder, there has never been a defeat in many years of war, but there is no one who is not admired by anyone who is in the army." ”

The sugar melted in her mouth, and the evening breeze rubbed her smile, which also hid her tenderness.

was roasting meat, and a soldier came to report: "Report, someone from the front said that he wanted to see King Ming." ”

Both of them were surprised, and Chu Qiu said, "Who?" ”

The soldier said: "Two men and one woman, they are said to be the second sons of the Qinghe Liu family." ”

Qinghe County? The Liu family? Second son?

Gu Mingzhu said, "Bring it here." ”

In early autumn, he handed the meat to the side to roast, picked up the fire, and stood behind Gu Mingzhu.

The two men and one woman were soon brought to Gu Mingzhu.

The night was getting dark, and the silver mask glowed cold in the firelight.

The three of them went all the way and saluted.

One of them said: "The Liu family of Qinghe County has seen King Ming." ”

This is the first time that others have called her like this, and Gu Mingzhu realized that the name Gu Jue has set off a big wave in the southeast.

Ming Wang ...... Ming Wang ......

She savored these two words beside the fire, raised her eyes, and said, "The son of the Liu family in Qinghe County? ”

The man in Tsing Yi leaned over slightly: "In Xia Liu Qige, this is my best friend Qin Sang and sister Liu Siru." ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "Second Prince Liu doesn't stay in Jiangnan, what are you doing in this wilderness?" ”

Liu Qige said: "I and the other three are here to take refuge in you." ”

"Take refuge?" Gu Mingzhu looked at the young man with a playful look in his eyes: "The Liu family is a scholarly family, and the second son of Liu is even more famous in the Jiangnan area, so he actually wants to follow me as a thief?" ”

Before Liu Qige could speak, Liu Siru behind him hurriedly said: "You don't know yet, the uprising in Chizhou has spread to the south, my father ...... My father refused to follow them, and was killed by them, and the Liu family is gone......"

Her eyes were red as she spoke, and it was clear that she had suffered a lot along the way.

Gu Mingzhu's expression was hidden under the mask, and after a while, she said, "What about Gusu?" ”

Honeysuckle is in Gusu, and if something happens, she will definitely be informed.

Liu Qige said: "King Ming still doesn't know, the military strength of the Duwei Mansion in Gusu has increased to 30,000, which is from Jiangling, and is led by the Gu family's son." ”

"What?" Gu Mingzhu's voice was heavy.

Liu Qige said: "This incident happened the day before yesterday, and after hearing that Gu Xiurong resigned, he should be on an errand and will return to Jiangling to take up his post immediately." ”

Gu Mingzhu suppressed his thoughts and said, "Do you know what the reason is?" ”

"Naturally, I don't know, but I suspect it has something to do with the death of his sister," Lyuzig said. ”

Yes!

He faked his death that day and was in the hands of Chifeng, and his brother ...... How could my brother let Chiffon go so easily, who in Gangneung took him?

Gu Mingzhu thought for a while, his eyes fell on the three of them, and said: "You came to take refuge, I have to ask, what is the difference between Zheng Menglin and me, the Qinghe Liu family did not descend to him, but came all the way to join me?" ”

Lyuzig understands that this question is the key.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "I don't want to deceive, now that the southeast is rising, the thirteen cities of Chizhou are all in the hands of Zheng Menglin, he killed my people and ruined the Liu family, how can I take refuge in him again!" ”

"Jiangling is now fighting fiercely, although Li Zhao has talent, but his wings are not full, Prince De has no imperial talent, assisting such a king, Qige is unwilling, I want to find my own way out, my own world."

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "Second son Liu, far-reaching knowledge. ”

Liu Qige lowered his head slightly and gave Gu Mingzhu a gesture.

She stood up in the firelight, and said with a smile: "Okay, from today on, Second Prince Liu is my person." ”
