Montenegro?

Hearing the name of the place in Gu Simiao's mouth, not only the Zhao family, but also the Gu family were stunned.

Gu Yanming's brows condensed slightly, but he stretched out in the next second, and after Zhao reacted, his complexion changed suddenly.

"What? Montenegro?! ”

Her eyes widened, she looked at Gu Simiao in disbelief, and her voice raised by an order of magnitude.

"Miao'er, why did you choose that kind of ghost place?!"

Gu Simiao said calmly: "Because there is charcoal there, and I like the people there." ”

"Coal?"

Zhao didn't understand at all.

"The useless garbage?"

Hearing this, Gu Simiao couldn't help frowning slightly.

Gu Yanming groaned, and then asked curiously: "Miao'er, did you choose Black Mountain as your fiefdom because Lord Lu was studying charcoal and wanted to turn it into a treasure and turn it into a good thing that could be like charcoal?" ”

"Hmm."

Gu Simiao nodded.

Gu Yanming suddenly understood.

"I see."

However, for this reason, Zhao is difficult to accept.

She also remembered that when she was chatting with some noble ladies recently, she did hear that Lu Chen was doing something recently, saying that he wanted to be extremely virtuous in the way of things, explore the truth of heaven and earth, and seek changes from it to benefit the world.

For example, research on how to make charcoal burn without the harmful smoke, so as to play the same role as charcoal.

This kind of unheard of and unprecedented thing, almost all the noblewomen in Beijing scoffed at it, and no one wanted to believe it, and some even bluntly said that their family officials were waiting to see Lu Chen's jokes.

And for them, even if this charcoal can get rid of the harmful smoke, it is useless, after all, they rarely even use charcoal, and there is a warm spring magic circle, who still uses those cheap things.

Even charcoal is not worthy of their noble status, let alone charcoal.

I really don't understand what a big man like Lu Chen cares about such a cheap thing.

Zhao didn't believe in such incomprehensible things either.

"Miao'er, how can such a big thing as fiefdom and food be so hasty? Lord Lu is kind to our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but Miao'er, half of the merit of killing the demon queen's henchmen to eliminate disasters for the country has been given to him, and the great kindness has already been repaid, so why gamble on such things related to the well-being of future generations in order to express support for him? ”

"Miao'er, listen to your mother's advice, now hurry into the palace to your majesty"

When some uncles and elders saw Zhao's persuasion of Gu Simiao to quickly repent, they also spoke up one after another, and persuaded Gu Simiao not to do stupid things.

However, as soon as they spoke, Gu Yanming suddenly snorted coldly.

"Shut up!"

He looked at Zhao and said coldly: "I have already said it, Miao'er's matter Miao'er decides by herself, and no Gu family member is allowed to interfere arbitrarily, otherwise you will blame me for being polite!" If you do this, do you still have me as the head of the family in your eyes?! ”

Seeing that the head of the family was angry, the Gu family was suddenly silent, and the Zhao family did not dare to say any more.

But his eyes were full of unwillingness and disobedience.

The expression seemed to say: Am I, a mother, still harming my own children?

After shutting everyone up with one sentence, Gu Yanming looked at Gu Simiao again, and the cold color in his eyes quickly faded.

"Miao'er, no matter what your original intention is, since you have decided to make Montenegro and the surrounding people the territory and food of Taihe County, then don't care about other people's opinions, let alone change land lightly, don't make Your Majesty embarrassed."

After a pause, he said again: "Although my father doesn't know why Lord Lu thinks that Shi Tan can be turned into treasure, but Lord Lu will never be untargeted, and although Lord Lu has had amazing actions that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, but in the end he has proved that he is right, it can be seen that he must be a wise and decisive person, since he thinks that Shi Tan and Tiangong Division are promising, there must be his considerations, Miao'er, there is nothing wrong with you betting on Lord Lu." ”

"The future is undecided, everything is possible, this charcoal, which has been avoided by people throughout the ages, in the hands of Lord Lu, maybe it can really become a good thing on a par with charcoal."

Hearing this, a shallow smile quietly appeared on Gu Simiao's face.

"Well, my daughter knows."

After agreeing, she suddenly glanced to the side, and when she saw her mother's dissatisfied look, she couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

"Daddy."

She raised her head slightly, looked at her father, who had gray hair in front of her, and said softly:

"Although there are different opinions, my mother and uncles say this for the sake of their daughter, and I ask my father not to blame."

Hearing this, Gu Yanming was stunned.

"And ......"

Gu Simiao's corner of her eyes glanced at the side and back, and saw her younger brothers and sisters hiding in the corner, cowering and peeking here, with obvious fear in their eyes.

"The past, the past is over, my father should not care too much, and there is no need to dwell on this, so as not to hurt the harmony, so that the family is not harmonious, the family business is not prosperous, Zhengbei and Begonia definitely don't want to see you and your mother discordant."

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone looked at Gu Yanming in unison.

Since the fall of the demon queen, the Gu family has suffered a great disaster, Gu Yanming, the once gentle and elegant "good family master", seems to have changed as a person, doing things vigorously and resolutely, and saying everything in the Gu family, especially in the matter of Gu Simiao, even let Gu Simiao use the power of the Shenwu General to help them reinstate the children of the Gu family who were dismissed and sent home because of the involvement of the demon queen, he refused.

He strictly ordered the Gu family not to seek official positions through Gu Simiao, not even to use the power of the Gu family.

And his confidence in being so unkind lies in Gu Simiao himself, now that Gu Simiao said this, their eyes suddenly began to light up slightly, and a flash of hope flashed in their eyes.

Looking at his daughter in front of him, Gu Yanming couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Miao'er, you've really grown up."

He stretched out his hand and gently put it on Gu Simiao's shoulder armor, feeling the cold touch in his hand, but there was no wavering in his eyes.

"Don't worry, my father has his own measure, and he will also consider the feelings of Zhengbei and Begonia, Miao'er doesn't have to worry."

Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth suddenly flashed with a hint of coldness.

"And don't they like to be good for you? For the sake of the Father, it is also for their good. ”

Gu Simiao: "......"

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Hearing Gu Yanming say this, everyone's expressions suddenly changed slightly, but they didn't dare to say anything more about Gu Yanming's words.

When encountering such a family head who doesn't care about the overall situation, without the slightest chance of resistance, what else can they say?

Shaking her head, Gu Simiao shook off the distractions in her mind.

"Daddy."

She glanced at her uncle and elder on the side.

"In the future, your daughter will not be with you all the time, you have to take care of yourself and don't work too hard."

After a little explanation, she suddenly reached into her arms, took out a blue butterfly-shaped pendant from her arms, and handed it to Gu Yanming.

"You accept this rune, if something happens, you can call your daughter directly through the rune, or you can activate the rune, as long as the rune takes effect, you will be sure to protect your father."

Gu Yanming stretched out his hand to take it.

"Miao'er has a heart."

Naturally, there is nothing polite to be with your own daughter.

Soon, the servants packed their bags and put them all in the carriage.

Then the old housekeeper Lu Yi walked over.

"Master, the luggage is all packed, and you can leave at any time."

Gu Yanming nodded, and then glanced at Gu Simiao reluctantly, but without a trace of hesitation, he said to the old housekeeper, "Let's go now." ”

"Yes! Master! ”

Lu Yi listened to the order, turned around and walked towards the convoy.

"Alright."

Gu Yanming turned his head and said to Gu Simiao: "It's not too early, Miao'er, you should go back to the barracks quickly, although you are now a Shenwu general and the head of the world's martial arts, but you are in such a high position at a young age, you should walk on thin ice, like Lord Lu, and focus on official business, so as to be worthy of Your Majesty's trust." ”

Hearing the expected teachings of her father, who had always been loyal, Gu Simiao frowned slightly for some reason.

Like Lu Chen's piece of wood?

Forget it......

However, although there was a little strange emotion in her heart, Gu Simiao still nodded honestly.

"My daughter knows."

I still have to listen to what the old father said.

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Zhao glanced at Gu Yanming with some complaints, and after telling Gu Simiao to take good care of herself in the future, and write to her if she missed her, he turned around and left.

"That's right, Miao'er."

Gu Yanming seemed to suddenly remember something, and his face suddenly became a little serious.

"Your mother just said that she has repaid Lord Lu's kindness with merit, you must not care, Lord Lu has the grace of saving the lives of our Gu family, and he also has the grace of redemption for you, this is a kindness that cannot be repaid no matter what, so you must not do anything to be sorry for Lord Lu."

Speaking of which, it seemed that this was a bit absolute, and Gu Yanming added:

"Of course, the situation is treacherous, Your Majesty's heart is unpredictable, when the future is undecided, no one knows who can have the last laugh, today dominates the world, but tomorrow it is possible to be full of beheading, the so-called ups and downs of the sea are unpredictable, but in any case, even if you can't support Lord Lu clearly, you can't do the ...... that falls into the well."

However, before he finished speaking, Gu Simiao's eyes froze, and he interrupted in an extremely rare voice: "Dad, you are too worried. ”

She took a deep breath inexplicably, and then said in a deep voice: "The two assumptions you said at the end don't exist at all for your daughter. ”

Hearing this, Gu Yanming was stunned.

After a little thought, he understood what his daughter meant.

He was a little incomprehensible.

Although it is natural to be grateful for Lord Lu's kindness, but is it a bit to do this.

As soon as he thought of this, an incredible possibility inexplicably appeared in his mind.

Then he looked at his daughter fixedly, as if he wanted to see something in Gu Simiao's eyes.

But Gu Simiao's face was extremely indifferent, and there was no trace of abnormality in her eyes.

Seeing her father looking at her like this, Gu Simiao suddenly asked out loud, "What's wrong?" Daddy, why are you looking at the child like this? ”

Gu Yanming withdrew his gaze.

"Nothing."

He shook his head slightly, and then said softly: "If you can think like this, you can rest assured that your father, no matter what, no matter how you plan to repay Lord Lu, your father will support you." ”

After saying this meaningful sentence, Gu Yanming glanced at Gu Simiao deeply, and then said goodbye to his daughter, turned around and walked towards the convoy.

Looking at her father's back as she drifted away, Gu Simiao clenched her fists inexplicably, and a complicated color flashed in her eyes.

…………

Without the slightest surprise, the news that Gu Simiao chose Montenegro as a fiefdom soon spread to the ears of all the well-known figures in Luojing.

As the youngest general of the Pillar State and the general of Shenwu in the history of the Great Xia Empire, she was already proficient in martial arts at the age of twenty-five, and she naturally attracted attention from all sides.

Although she is not as good as Lu Chen, she is undoubtedly one of the hottest figures in the Yongchu Dynasty.

Family background, strength, appearance, power, holy family, city government, potential, in all aspects, she is almost incredibly good, and she is now in control of the power of the division and the army, such an existence is destined to be targeted by people with intentions.

Then, the incident became a joke that spread throughout Luojing.

Choosing Montenegro as a fief? How brain-dead does it take to make such a stupid choice?

What does Montenegro have?

Except for the charcoal or the charcoal, it is worthless at all.

After a lot of hardships, the merits that were finally won by desperate efforts were actually exchanged for such a broken place, this kind of wasteland, even if it is the supreme county prince, how much national fortune can be shared with the imperial court? How much help can it be for cultivation?

Choosing Montenegro as a fief is not a brain kicked by a donkey, what else can it be?

Especially in the eyes of some Wenchen, Gu Simiao is simply stupid.

What the Gu family can see, these spirits can naturally see as well.

After all, Lu Chen only proposed to create the Tiangong Division on the front foot, and started to engage in the harmless treatment of Laoshizi's coal, and Gu Simiao went to Taihe County to receive Montenegro on the back foot.

Fools can see that Gu Simiao did this completely to express his attitude to Lu Chen, who is now in full swing.

Or rather, overtures.

Using a fiefdom that is related to future generations and the national fortune that is very important to cultivation to curry favor with Lu Chen is completely worth the loss.

After all, she is already a Shenwu general, and her current status is not much worse than Lu Chen.

Besides, who doesn't know that although Lu Chen's guy is hateful, he is quite principled in doing things, after all, he is a righteous man, as long as nothing is done in his hands, or deliberately provokes him, he will basically not embarrass others.

Therefore, there is no need to deliberately curry favor with Lu Chen, not to mention that it is not beneficial, it may attract the attention of this mad dog, or even hostility.

Why do such thankless work?

Even if it is to repay Lu Chen's kindness at the beginning, it should not be used in this way, not to mention that she has already divided half of the battle exploits to Lu Chen, and directly made him the title of Duke of Xingping County, which is rich enough, and no one can find fault with it.

As for liking Lu Chen? That's even more ridiculous, Gu Simiao is five years older than Lu Chen, and these two people are both figures of the Yongchu Dynasty, one literary and one martial, if they are combined, the empress is afraid that she will have to summon the Holy King of Cangming back to Beijing on the spot.

Besides, as a strong man, who doesn't want to have a few more insiders in the back house and indulge in the warm fragrance.

And as strong as Lu Chen and Gu Simiao, who of them will be willing to commit themselves to?

Regarding the subtle atmosphere in Beijing, Gu Simiao, who was far away in the forbidden army camp to train soldiers, naturally did not know, and even if he knew, he would not care.

She thinks about things and always does things spontaneously, so why do you need to explain it to others?

And just when the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing were waiting for the failure of Shi Tan's research, waiting to see Lu Chen and Gu Simiao's jokes.

Taihe County.

"Lord Prefectural Order."

There are only more than 30 wealthy businessmen in the county gathered at the county office, and they all looked at the county order of Taihe County.

"Dare to ask the villages near Montenegro, have you made up for 800 households now?"

Li Yongcheng stroked his long beard, squinted at the people gathered, and said meaningfully: "Not yet, this official only went there the day before yesterday to investigate, and found that the villages around Montenegro are still extremely sparse, let alone eight hundred, four hundred households are enough." ”

After a pause, he said meaningfully:

"It seems that the general can only ask the general to personally designate the household registration from Taihe County and make it her old man's food."

Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly changed.
