Chapter 59: Chicken Leg Dispute
When there were 100 pieces, and only 50 people were left, Gu Xi announced the end of the game.
The fifty winners in the end, regardless of the soreness in their arms, all rushed forward excitedly, and each got a chicken drumstick.
When squad leader Zhu Dabing got the chicken leg, he was so excited that he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead and took a bite.
The tender and crispy taste immediately filled my mouth.
"It smells so good! It smells so damn good!" He couldn't bear to swallow it.
The others did the same, taking a big bite and then chewing it slowly.
He also deliberately smacked his lips, envying those who lost the game.
The squad leader Hu Guilin squinted his eyes and savored the fried chicken leg carefully, with a look of intoxication on his face.
Smacking his lips exaggeratedly, he said to the people around him:
"When I was young, I worked for a landlord in town. During festivals, the landlord and his wife would give us leftovers. I have eaten chicken legs before, but I have never seen such delicious chicken legs."
Soldier Li Dewang ate faster. At this moment, he was sucking on the chicken bones that he had licked clean, and he said:
"Such a delicious chicken leg, probably only the nobles and the emperor can eat it, haha! We are lucky today, we can eat such a chicken leg in this life, and we can brag about it to our grandchildren for years when we are old."
Gu Xi thought to himself: The old emperor can’t eat modern fried chicken.
There was a burst of laughter from the side, and some people laughed at Li Dewang:
"What about grandsons? You just wait and see if you can get a wife in this life. Hahahaha..."
Those who didn't get the chicken leg could only watch the other fifty people blow the chicken leg into pieces like dragon meat, and they could only swallow their saliva, feeling extremely annoyed.
It's my fault for neglecting exercise and not living up to expectations!
Gu Xi said to them at this time:
"Don't be discouraged, there will be games tomorrow. There are chicken legs every day, whether you can eat them depends on your own ability!"
When the soldiers heard this, even though they were so tired that they didn't want to move a finger, everyone's eyes were still burning with fighting spirit, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
There will be chicken legs tomorrow, and maybe even every day!
The soldiers who lost today sniffed hard. The aroma of fried chicken legs made them feel so excited that they wanted to grab some and have a taste.
Those who have won today, after tasting the delicious chicken legs, will of course be even more unable to stop.
All the soldiers secretly swore that they would win tomorrow even if it cost them their lives!
Gu Xi also asked the squad leaders to count the height and weight of all the soldiers.
When they heard that their captain was going to give them new uniforms, and have them tailor-made for them, they all grinned.
The military uniforms they are wearing were old when they were issued, and are now covered with patches.
There were many mosquitoes in the mountains, so Gu Xi took out some mosquito repellent from her space. While everyone was asleep and snoring loudly, she walked around the tent and sprayed it all over.
At the same time, in the Northwest Military Camp.
Chu Zhao's personal guards Lu Xiaowu and others rushed back from Kyoto.
"Major General, after we arrived in the capital, we went to several antique shops. Since we were in a hurry to sell and needed cash, we didn't sell them at a high price. The total price of that batch of antique calligraphy and paintings was 50,000 taels of silver. This is the silver note."
Lu Xiaowu handed a box to Chu Zhao.
Inside was a thick stack of silver bills.
Lu Xiaowu and others, who had to travel overnight and not dare to delay, had to protect the silver bills on the way. At this moment, their eyes were bloodshot.
Seeing Lu Xiaowu's dusty appearance, Chu Zhao patted his shoulder:
"Good! This general will remember your merit for this."
Then he asked again, "How about the matter I asked you to inquire about?"
Lu Xiaowu said, "The young lady of the Gu family's eldest branch that the young general wants to investigate, I have inquired through many sources and learned that although this young lady of the Gu family is a lady from a famous family, she has often followed General Gu out since she was young. Although she has never been to the battlefield, she has traveled to many places and is an experienced young lady. In addition, I have also heard an interesting story about the young lady of the Gu family."
Lu Xiaowu said so much in one breath. Just as he took a breath, he saw his young general asking impatiently:
"What's the anecdote?"
Lu Xiaowu continued:
"When Miss Gu was born, a wandering Taoist priest came to the door of the Gu Mansion and claimed that Miss Gu, who had just been born that day, had a unique fate and would definitely be extremely noble in the future.
Since this happened at the gate of Gu's house, many people heard it and it was no secret.
Many people even speculated that Miss Gu might very well become the empress in the palace.
I heard that even the Crown Prince wanted to marry her as his Crown Princess, but before he could propose the marriage, the Gu family's treason case happened.
Now, Miss Gu has been exiled, which shows that the Taoist priest’s words cannot be trusted.”
Is it unbelievable?
Chu Zhao felt that that might not be the case.
In his eyes, Gu Xi's actions were shrouded in mystery, so it was somewhat true that he said she had a peculiar fate.
Chu Zhao asked again: "Anything else? Have you ever heard if anything strange has happened to Miss Gu?"
Lu Xiaowu shook his head: "I haven't heard of this. This is all the information I have heard. The rest is that the entire Gu family was exiled."
"Okay, go down and have a rest. I'll give you two days off."
Chu Zhao waved his hand and asked Lu Xiaowu and others to go down.
He himself fell into deep thought.
Apart from what the Taoist said, if there was anything special about Gu Xi's life, it could only be that she was the daughter of a general and had some abilities.
But the tracking during those days made him feel that Gu Xi was definitely not such a simple person.
But if she was the powerful one described in the miscellaneous books, how could she have let the Gu family fall into this situation?
Gu Xi, ah Gu Xi, what secrets are you hiding?
Chu Zhao had a dream all night, and Gu Xi's figure was all he could see in his dream.
He even dreamed that Gu Xi married him, and on their wedding night, her soft and warm little hands pinched his face again...
