What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why did Miss Gu dress up as a man?"

Chu Shiting became even more disgusted with his son's silly personal soldier.

Wu Dajiang quickly explained:

"Everything I said is true. When I was in Chengyang County, I saw with my own eyes that Miss Gu dressed up as a man and claimed to be surnamed Xi. She also went to the county government office."

Hearing Wu Dajiang's confident words, Zhou Qing's eyes flashed with a strange look, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Then where is she now?"

Chu Shiting said:

"Sir, I do know this. The women of the Gu family are indeed in Dingxi County. Although they are exiled, we all know what kind of person General Gu is. Besides, they are just a few women and children. They can't cause any trouble, and it is impossible for them to cause any trouble.

To be honest, sir, my wife is a close friend of General Gu's wife. This morning, Mrs. Gu opened a store, and my wife went to support her. I only ask for your understanding and allow them to stay in Dingxi County."

Chu Shiting spoke sincerely and bowed with his fists clasped.

Zhou Qing hurriedly helped Zhou Qing up, sighed and said:

"What are you thinking, nephew? How could I not know the loyalty of the Gu family? Some time ago, the Gu family exiled women and children and were attacked by robbers. I happened to be not far from there, so I went to the scene in person.

After the investigation, it was found that several slaves and servants were dead, while Madam Gu and the second wife of the Gu family were rescued. At that time, I reported to the court, claiming that all the members of the Gu family died at the hands of robbers.

I have already felt guilty towards General Gu, how could I bear to see the Gu family be without an heir? I just didn’t expect that I and the Gu family would have such an opportunity in the future.”

Chu Shiting breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also wondering why no one from the imperial court caught the exiled people from the Gu family who had escaped. It turned out that Zhou Qing concealed the truth, which could be considered as saving the Gu family.

After Zhou Qing left the general's mansion, he took Zhou An for a stroll on the street.

When they arrived not far from Yazhi Pavilion, Zhou Qing looked into the shop.

At this moment, Gu Xi and others had just finished counting today's harvest and were closing the door to leave.

Gu Xi and Zhou Qing looked at each other.

Zhou Qing finally believed what Wu Dajiang said.

This girl's bright big eyes are exactly the same as Xi Xiaoyou's.

When Gu Xi first saw Zhou Qing, he was wondering why this old man was here.

She almost instinctively went forward to flatter him.

Then she touched her face. Now she was her real self and Zhou Qing didn't recognize her.

So he pretended not to know him, turned around and walked in another direction with his family.

Zhou Qing wanted to call her, but after opening his mouth, he paused, his hand stopped in mid-air, and finally he sighed.

"Oh! Forget it, let's go back."

Zhou An looked at Zhou Qing in confusion:

"Sir, now that you have found the person you have gone to so much trouble to find, why don't you come forward to acknowledge him?"

Zhou Qing said dejectedly:

"How can I face the Gu family?"

"But sir, you didn't do anything wrong. The affairs of the Gu family are not something you can control. Moreover, you have helped them many times. And you don't plan to tell the Gu family about General Gu's current situation?"

Zhou Qing stopped Zhou An from speaking, then looked around warily. No one noticed them, so he said:

"Don't talk nonsense outside in the future."

Although he was craving for Moutai, he still endured it.

I don't intend to disturb the peaceful life of General Gu's family.

Niutou Mountain. Evening.

The countdown sign reads the number "three".

One hundred soldiers gathered on the training ground, sweating profusely in the light of the campfire.

Gu Xi looked at the soldiers' high morale, strong bodies, and determined eyes. Compared with twelve days ago, they were completely transformed.

I checked my reputation points and found that there was already a balance of 2,000.

When he defeats Chu Zhao, he will probably get tens of thousands. Gu Xi feels very happy.

At this time, in a valley not far from the camp, Zhu Dabing and Liu Erdan were solving the problem of the cycle of grains.

The two were squatting when they suddenly heard some noise not far away.

Occasionally they would encounter wild animals or hunters in the mountains. When they were free these days, they had caught rabbits, pheasants, etc., so they didn't take it seriously.

But soon, they discovered something was wrong.

There were voices of people talking, but they couldn't understand the gibberish.

Zhu Dabing pushed aside the bushes and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw three figures.

It was far away, so I couldn't see the face clearly, I could only see the rough outline.

But it can also be seen that it is definitely not a hunter.

When Zhu Dabing heard these people's chattering again, he took a deep breath.

He has been to the battlefield, and these three men are obviously Turks!

He lowered his voice and said to Liu Erdan:

"Erdan, there are three Turkic spies here. I'll keep an eye on them. Go back and report to Captain Qi."

After more than ten days of training, Liu Erdan was no longer the greenhorn he used to be. He did not panic, but nodded, pulled up his trousers, and left quietly.

"Captain!" Liu Erdan ran to Gu Xi who was barbecuing in front of the campfire. She planned to use the skewers as the assessment prize tonight.

"what's up?"

"There are Turkic spies over there. Captain Zhu is watching them and asked me to come back and report." Liu Erdan pointed to the valley in the east.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi quickly put down the skewers, stood up and looked to the east, and asked:

"Turkic spies? How many are there?"

Liu Erdan held up three fingers: "Three."

They have been training for more than ten days and could only conduct drills. Now that the Turkic spies have arrived, it is a good opportunity to give these guys a real combat experience.

Gu Xi waved his hand:

"Group One, Group Two, listen up! Let's go catch the Turkic spies!"

The soldiers were training. When they heard what Gu Xi said, the soldiers in groups one and two all became excited.

Most likely their captain is tricking them into having a mock exercise again, but they like this kind of trickery because they get delicious food every time they win.

The two groups of soldiers quietly followed Gu Xi to the east, and they deliberately lowered their footsteps so as to make almost no sound.

When Zhu Dabing saw a dark shadow coming, he knew that his people had arrived, so he hurried out of the woods and reported to Gu Xi.

"Captain, they are leading their horses over there. I saw them holding something that looked like a map and they were talking incoherently. It seems they are lost."

"Let's go and catch up!"

Gu Xi led everyone and quickly chased in the direction of the Turks, and soon saw them.

"Catch him alive! Go!"

The twenty soldiers had been ready for battle. Upon hearing Gu Xi's order, they immediately rushed forward quickly, each of them in a nimble posture.

When the three Turkic spies discovered someone coming after them, they were so scared that they quickly mounted their horses and fled.

But the two behind were pulled off their horses by the soldiers who rushed over as soon as they climbed onto the horses.

The two men wanted to run, but were grabbed by the soldiers and pinned to the ground, unable to move.

The Turkic spy in the front was more clever. He took advantage of the opportunity when his two companions behind him blocked the pursuers and rode away for dozens of meters.
