"Li Quan has seen Miss." In the front yard of Gu's mansion, Lanfeng Pavilion, Li Quan hugged his fists and bowed slightly, saluting Gu Nianxun.

"Brother Nurse, did your trip go smoothly today?" Gu Nianxun asked.

"I have completed the task assigned by the young lady, and it is generally smooth, but there is something strange in the backyard." Li Quan replied.

Gu Nianxun thought for a while and said, "What kind of strange method? It seems that there is some secret hidden behind that small courtyard. “

Li Quan then recalled what he had seen and heard today: "When I first entered the courtyard, everything went smoothly and there were no other abnormalities. Qian San also took a few brothers from the house to the backyard where his wife and children were being held, but I waited in the front yard and did not hear the sound of the backyard, so I felt that something was wrong. When I felt the backyard, Qian Sanyi and his party were gone. “

Gu Nianxun smiled and broke through the puzzle in Li Quan's words: "Is there a building like a secret room in the backyard?"

"Miss is smart, I can't wait." Li wholeheartedly bowed down, and only listened to his words to know the key point of the matter, and he was very aware of his remaining shortcomings.

"No, the eunuch houses in Beijing mostly follow this kind of layout. Most of them are generations of families, and naturally there is something that cannot be known to outsiders, and the secret room and secret pavilion came into being. When you stay in the capital, you will naturally have to deal with these shady things. Naturally, there are also those with ill intentions who set it up as a cage for secret detention. Come to think of it, Qian Sanji's wife and children are being imprisoned there. Gu Nianxun explained one or two keys to Li Quan.

"As Mademoiselle said. Except for his wife and children, who were moved to a hidden corner behind the kitchen stove before I left, Qian San and our brothers were all imprisoned there. When we came to the rescue, his servants saw that the tide was gone, and they all swung their swords and cut them off. “

Hearing this, a trace of gloom swept over Gu Nianxun's light face just now, and the killing intent in his eyes was cold.

"Miss, is there anything unusual?" Li Quan saw that Gu Nianxun's expression was different, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Self-defeating? These are probably dead soldiers raised by people with hearts, and self-determination is the result of mission failure. Gu Nianxun said coldly, Lanfeng Pavilion was still warm just now, and the next moment it was already stormy.

"Dead? This... I've only seen it in the book. According to legend, the dead were raised by the family of high-ranking officials and used for secret manpower. Li Quan was deeply surprised in his heart that there were also dead soldiers in the land of Jiangnan Water Town.

However, seeing that the nurse brother was not injured and looked as usual, I thought that the skills of these dead soldiers were not top-notch, and they should be freshmen sent by the capital. Otherwise, the guards in the palace today are afraid that they will be more auspicious. Gu Nianxun observed Li Quan's demeanor, and he already knew it in his heart.

Li Quan said: "What the young lady said is good, the small wounds on the hands and feet of the brothers are not serious."

"I think it's also because you have more manpower than the enemy, all in all, today's layout decision, Brother Milk has done a very good job." The alarm bell in Gu Nianxun's heart rang loudly, if the dead soldier secretly cultivated by Sanfang today was very skilled, or it was not just a handful of them, the result was difficult to say.

At any time, you should not easily underestimate the enemy, unless you have complete certainty in your heart. Three rooms, dead soldiers? It seems that Gu Nianxun in his previous life still missed too many things around him, just like the delicate flowers and bones that were warmed by his father and mother in the garden, unable to withstand the wind and frost and rain, and he didn't know the dark clouds surging.

"Another thing that Miss explained is that there are already candidates for subordinates. Zhang Maolin and Liu Sanzhu in the house are both loyal and upright people, and their skills are also very passable, brave and resourceful. If you can use it for the young lady, you can also become the right hand man and right-hand man of the young lady. Li Quan's words pulled Gu Nianxun, who was immersed in past memories, back to the Lanfeng Pavilion in reality.

"Brother Milk, I can trust me. After a few days, I asked Mama An to clean up a separate yard in the front yard for a temporary base of manpower for your follow-up formation. When I return to the capital, I will set up a separate courtyard in the vicinity of the Gu Mansion in the capital to place people. For the follow-up manpower arrangement, Gu Nianxun has a free scale in his heart.

"Qian San is extremely wife and children, but can you settle down?" Thinking of his other subordinate, Gu Nianxun asked Li Quan about Qian San's entourage.

Li Quan replied: "They have all settled in the courtyard arranged by the young lady in advance, and their wives and children are not in serious trouble, but they are a little frightened and excessive, and they still need to recuperate for a while." I have instructed the brothers to invite Lang Zhong to come and see him. “

"Very good. Brother Nurse has worked hard, go back and rest quickly. Gu Nianxun was very satisfied with Li Quan's thoughtfulness, and he couldn't handle things properly.

"There are two more things to get back to Miss. First, the few live mouths brought back and a Chang Mama, how is the young lady going to deal with it. The second is to set up two or three tables in the forecourt lodgings later today to reward the brethren. Li Quan continued to reply to the rest of the things that the young lady needed to know.

Gu Nianxun thought for a moment, and replied: "I sent it to the government to handle it according to law, and the crime is that I forcibly imprisoned a woman from a good family, and I will take care of it in the future." In this way, the trained person can't ask anything, and just deal with it. This second thing, you don't have to do it yourself, I'll let the big kitchen in Fuzhong buy it. Take this opportunity to communicate with those two people and explain their intentions. “

"Yes." Li Quan nodded yes.

Gu Nianxun asked Li Quan to go down to rest first, and walked to the eldest lady of the main courtyard with Qiuyi. Today's events, Gu Nian still wants her mother to know, perhaps, a large-scale mobilization of manpower in the house can't hide from her eyes.

Gu Mansion, Main Courtyard.

"My son, have you had lunch?" The eldest lady Ning, who was taking a nap, looked very happy when she saw her daughter coming at this time.

"Mother, my daughter has already had lunch. Today, there are a few things to tell my mother. Gu Nianxun didn't want to delay the eldest lady's lunch break too much, so he was ready to make a long story short. Although the eldest lady is pampered, she has given birth to three children, and the second birth is twins, and her blood is not as good as before.

"You say, my mother also wants to know where those palace guards are going to fight and kill today?" The eldest lady sneered, looking at the mysterious eldest daughter, it reminded people of Gu Nianxun's two or three troubles when he was a child.

Gu Nianxun probably knew what her mother was thinking about, probably because she sneaked out with Qiuyi when she was a child and pretended to be a chivalrous man, but she was teased by the neighbors.

No matter how old they are, in the eyes of their mothers, they are probably a child, and they already have the ability to shelter them from the wind and rain.
