The old Lord Protector was glared at by his grandson, and he was also very angry.
He asked Zhou Gu, "She gave you the marriage certificate, what about Ye Guixue?"
Zhou Gu hummed, "Before Ye Guixue left Beijing, she had broken off her engagement with him."
The old Protector was surprised and looked at Su Xingze.
Su Xing nodded to the old Protector.
The old Protector scolded her, "You stinky girl, you are making fun of your marriage."
"No." Zhou Gu retorted, "She did it for me. She said she had no choice. She had already made up her mind, but she couldn't help but be soft-hearted towards me. So when she found out, she broke off Ye Guixue's engagement in time, To avoid difficulties in the future.”
As he spoke, he felt a little proud again and solemnly emphasized, "Grandpa, did you hear what she said about being soft to me?"
The old Protector naturally heard it, "You are so shameless that no one can do anything to you, yet you are so proud? Why are you so proud?"
Zhou Gu said shamelessly: "It proves that she likes me."
The old Protector snorted.
Grandparents and grandsons come and go. Such a situation would only happen when Zhou Gu was in front of the old Lord Protector. And since childhood, when the two of them stayed together, there was rarely a time when they were harmonious and did not quarrel.
Zhou Wei asked with a smile: "The third brother and the fourth brother have been busy all the way. Are you hungry? Let's eat first."
Zhou Gu touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry."
Zhou Che also nodded, "I have been traveling all the way without much rest. Although there is a letter from Miss Seven saying that Zhang Yun will capture Zhang Ping's 250,000-strong Northern Hebei Army, I don't know if it is really reliable. So, my fourth brother and I don't dare to Relax, I'm always on my way. I want to reunite with my grandfather as soon as possible."
"Huh? What Zhang Yun?" asked the old Protector.
Zhou Che quickly told Su Rong about subduing Zhang Yun.
The old Protector was surprised, "Is this so?"
Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "Talents are rare. If Xiao Qi can catch them, he will definitely catch them."
"Yes, the little girl has some abilities that are unexpected." The old protector has always known how capable Su Rong is, but he doesn't know that in addition to her abilities, she is also so broad-minded. You must know that she almost died in Zhang Yun and In Nangong Yu's hands, "If what Zhang Yunxin said is true, it would be a great achievement to be able to seize the military power of the Northern Hebei Army without any bloodshed."
It can be predicted that if this battle breaks out, how many people will die. If you can avoid killing people, that would be the best. After all, they are all Daliang's own soldiers.
"So, Grandpa, why shouldn't I go to Nanchu?" Zhou Gu took advantage of the opportunity and tried to find a way to make the old protector agree with his correct decision. "The prince and she will both be the masters of the Ming Dynasty in the future. She established the pillars." Such great merit has saved me from the flames of war and the loss of life, why can't I be replaced by another one?"
The old Protector was angry, but did not refute this.
Zhou Gu suddenly smiled and said, "Grandpa, although Nanchu is far away, it is not far away. We will still come back to visit our relatives in the future."
No matter how reluctant the old Protector was, he also knew that he couldn't keep this grandson. "Shut up, please."
Zhou Wei sighed, "Fourth brother, you are abandoning your family and career. We, the family, can't bear to leave you."
"Then you learn from Uncle Su, Aunt Su, and my uncle." Zhou Gu put his hand on Su Xingze's shoulder, "They won't go to Nanchu either. Just write more letters if you want."
What you say is that you really can't help your mother.
Someone brought food. Zhou Gu and Zhou Che were indeed hungry. They stopped talking, picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
The old Protector called for someone and said, "Pay close attention to the movements of the Northern Hebei Army. If there is any movement, report it in time."
Someone should be there and go immediately.
After eating, Zhou Gu and Zhou Che were very tired, so they went to the tent to sleep together.
The old protector, Zhou Wei, and Su Xingze were all awake and sat together chatting.
Zhou Weidao: "Grandpa, if it is true as the third and fourth brothers said, that Zhang Yun can capture Zhang Ping's 250,000 troops, we really don't have to fight this battle. Do you think Zhang Yun has this ability?" ?”
After listening to what Zhou Gu and Zhou Che said, Zhang Yun must be sincere since he agreed to join him, but Zhang Ping's grandson is not someone who can be easily fooled.
"Since this lucky kid can subdue that little girl Su Rong regardless of past grudges, it shows that he is really capable. He was picked through the Zhang family's hidden stakes, guessed Su Rong's location, and secretly joined forces with Nangong Yu to kill her, and he At that time, before Nangong Yu arrived, he showed up, and he was sure that Su Rong would not attack him easily, so that the little girl stumbled, which shows that the boy guessed people's hearts and had very deep plans, so he was a good player. ." The old protector of the country said: "Zhang Ping can guard against outsiders, but he may not be able to guard against his own son. It is very likely that he will succeed."
Su Xing nodded aside, "That's what the old Duke said."
He said: "Originally, I requested an order from His Highness the Crown Prince to be transferred to Northern Hebei Province, and His Highness the Crown Prince agreed. Therefore, in order to prepare, I read the archives of the Pingxi General's Mansion in the East Palace. This piece of luck can be He is said to be a very special person. He has been in charge of all the hidden stakes of the Zhang family since he was thirteen years old. It took countless times to make Zhang Ping value the person who handed the most important hidden stake of the Zhang family into his hands. Zhang Ping attaches great importance to him, which shows that he understands Zhang Ping's temper very well, and the possibility of succeeding is very high."
Zhou Wei felt relieved when he heard this, "Then we just wait?"
The old Protector nodded, "Wait!"
Zhou Che slept for one day, but he still couldn't sleep soundly. Even though he was very tired, Zhou Gu did not. He slept for two full days, as if he wanted to make up for all the sleep he had not had these days.
The old Protector asked several times and learned that he was still sleeping. He blew his beard and stared, "This kid can sleep well."
Zhou Che said: "Fourth brother has worked hard in the past few days, so he should have a good rest."
The old Protector glanced at him and said, "The fact that Zhang Yun can slip away in front of your eyes means that you are not agile and alert enough in marching and fighting, so you should take this as a warning. After all, he is not alone, but has brought more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, so huge Logically speaking, no matter how well the clean-up is done, there will still be traces, so it shouldn’t be undetectable.”
Zhou Che kept the lesson in mind, "Yes, grandfather, my grandson will take this as a warning."
When Zhou Gu woke up, he felt refreshed and relieved from the fatigue of the past few days. He was also very good at waking up. After he woke up and had a meal, a spy came to report, "Report, old Duke, The Northern Hebei Army stopped marching and seemed to have turned back."
"Huh?" The old Protector was stunned.
Zhou Gu was the first to react and immediately smiled, "Zhang Yun succeeded."
Zhou Wei stood up and asked the detective, "Are you sure it's correct?"
"Yes, it has been confirmed again and again. The Northern Hebei Army originally had one and a half days to go before reaching Changzhou, but it stayed at the same place for half a day. Then, it hung up its white sails and turned back to the direction of Longxi County."
"Zhang Ping is dead." Zhou Gu concluded, "Only when Zhang Ping is dead will the white sails be hung up, and Zhang Yun will take over the Northern Hebei Army and return to Longxi County. Because he doesn't know that I will come to join forces with my grandfather, and he is afraid that the two will There will be a fight, so it is better to go to Longxi County and make peace with Su Rong."
