After the two reconciled, Zhou Guzi and Su Rong entered a room again and lay down on the bed.
Su Rong looked at him funny, "Where did you sleep last night?"
Zhou Gu pointed to the next door.
Su Rong raised her eyebrows, "Then why don't you go today?"
Zhou Gu muttered, "Yesterday, both Xingzhi and Yan Jin were squeezed together with me. Three people slept in a big bed. Do you think they can sleep in it?"
Su Rong said: "You can still sleep, after all, the three of you are thin."
Zhou Gu closed his eyes, "Just stay with you, I won't leave."
"Have you forgotten that Uncle Xie refused to let you go?" Su Rong reminded him when he saw that he was cheating.
Zhou Gu did not forget, "Qian'er, you were injured, so I stayed with you. Uncle Xie came and knew about it. He didn't say anything, and he didn't ask anyone to kick me out."
He stretched out his hand and hooked Su Rong's finger, "Maybe Uncle Xie also felt that we were too pitiful. We just met in the flames of war when we fell in love. We almost died in the hands of Wei yesterday, so Uncle Xie He is considerate of us and feels that we should be given more opportunities to get along with each other. Those rules and etiquette are not worth mentioning in the face of life and death."
Su Rong laughed, closed her eyes, and hooked his fingers, "Okay, go to sleep!"
As long as this person is not angry, he can do whatever he wants. He was so angry yesterday, but she said a few words and he coaxed him down the stairs. Was it because he had already calmed down before she woke up? No, I just didn't want to get angry with her and increase the burden at this time, when both of them were seriously injured and the Wei Dynasty was watching covetously from outside.
Zhou Gu whispered: "Su Rong, you promised me that no matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to take me away again. I don't want to save my life, and I don't want to live alone to avenge you. I would rather live without hope." I will live and die with you."
"Okay, I understand." Su Rong whispered back to him, "Don't worry, I won't do it again. I will keep my word this time."
As soon as the two fell asleep, the shouting at the city gate gradually stopped.
Zhou Gu closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "It seems that the Wei Dynasty has withdrawn its troops. I didn't expect to withdraw so decisively. It is worthy of Yuan Zhao."
Su Rong said "Yes" in a daze, "Without the siege cannon and not enough experts, we have to think of another way. It seems that we can have a peaceful sleep today."
Zhou Gu also felt that he stopped talking and fell asleep peacefully.
Once the two fell asleep, they slept for a whole day.
When Zhou Gu woke up again, it was already dark. He turned his head and glanced around him. Su Rong was still sleeping. Without disturbing her, he quietly got up, got out of bed, and slowly walked out of the room.
When Lanzhi saw him coming out, she whispered: "Fourth Young Master, are you awake? Master is also awake? Are you hungry?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, "She hasn't woken up yet."
He was just about to ask, "What's the situation at the city gate? Has there been no movement since Wei withdrew its troops?" when he saw a man standing not far away. He was startled, "Zhibai? Why are you here?"
Zhibai is the personal guard of the old protector of the country.
Zhibai stepped forward and bowed his hands in greeting, "Fourth Young Master, my subordinates have been ordered by the old Duke to bring the guards of the Protector's Palace to help you."
Advisor Zhou: "Grandpa also learned about my situation in Nanchu?"
Zhi Bai nodded and shook his head, "When my subordinates set out with their people, the old Duke had not yet learned about Fourth Young Master's situation in Nanchu. It was only when I got halfway, I received someone sent by the old Protector to catch up. I learned that the Fourth Young Master is very dangerous in Southern Chu."
Zhi Bai said ashamedly: "Originally, I should have arrived at Heiya Pass two days earlier. However, after entering Nanchu, I found someone from the Nangong family making trouble on the way. I led someone to deal with it, which caused a delay."
Zhou Gu nodded, "How many people did you bring?"
"My subordinate brought five hundred people earlier, and later the old Duke sent another five hundred people to catch up with him. He said that these one thousand people would be given to the Fourth Young Master. From now on, my subordinate will follow the Fourth Young Master just like Ziye. At the young master's side." Zhi Bai said.
Zhou Gu took a breath and said in surprise: "In this way, my grandfather will give me more than half of the people in the Duke's Mansion."
Zhi Bai nodded, "Old Duke said, the Fourth Young Master is now your employer, and you can accept it with peace of mind. Not only does he, the grandfather, care about you, but the Crown Prince and the other two Young Masters also care about you, and they won't have any objections." He was wrong earlier, and the eldest princess is right. If you don't inherit the family business, what's the matter with allocating more people? So you don't have to bear the burden."
Zhou Gu sighed, "Thank you, grandfather."
He knew the old Duke's temper best. The rules had been set long ago and had not been changed for decades. Now, for him, the rules were changed.
"In addition to the subordinates who have come down, the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master have each sent a hundred secret guards to you. Your subordinates met them on the way and joined them together," Zhi Bai said.
"Second brother and third brother? What's going on?" Zhou Gu was confused.
Zhi Bai said: "According to them, they saw people from the Cui family of Qinghe entering Nanchu from the border. It is guessed that your situation is not optimistic, otherwise Mr. Cui of the Cui family of Qinghe would not have sent a large number of people to Nanchu. He must be helping you. Firstly, they want to get information, and secondly, they want to give you more manpower to help you."
Zhou Gu nodded, feeling warm in his heart, "Thank you also, second brother and third brother."
It has to be said that these people came just in time. Nine out of ten people around him died. The remaining people have now been seriously injured and fell down. There are not many left, not even the person who helped him walk. The little cousin sent someone.
He asked Zhi Bai, "How long have you been here? Have you been waiting for me to wake up?"
"My subordinate arrived not long ago, only an hour later. I heard from Miss Lanzhi that you and the princess were resting after being seriously injured. They have been sleeping for a day and should be waking up soon. This subordinate is waiting outside the door." Zhi Bai said.
Zhou Gu nodded, "Let's go to the side hall with me. Can you tell me carefully about the situation at home?"
Zhi Bai nodded, and seeing Zhou Gu moving slowly, he quickly stepped forward to help him, and the two went to the side hall to talk.
Zhibai told Zhou Gu that the Duke Protector's Mansion had been waiting for news about the Fourth Young Master. Unfortunately, after waiting for two months, there was no news about the Fourth Young Master, and even a few words were not sent back to Daliang. The eldest princess had trouble sleeping and eating, and the old Duke began to It was still stable, but later I felt that something was not good. One day, the Duke's wife received a letter. She was shocked, but she did not alert anyone in the Duke Protector's house. She hurriedly sent people to the Cui family in Qinghe, the old country. The Duke noticed this and secretly guessed that it must be because the Fourth Young Master was unable to expose the Duke's wife's concealment, so he sent him and his people to Nanchu. If he hadn't encountered a disturbance by the Nangong family after entering Nanchu and was delayed, he would have arrived before the people from the Cui family in Qinghe.
When he learned that yesterday was very dangerous and the princess almost died, he felt extremely regretful. His delay had almost caused a catastrophe, and he would not be able to apologize even if he died.
Advisor Zhou Zhibai said, "How many people in the Nangong family are making trouble? And they didn't follow Nangong Zheng out of Nanchu?"
"There are hundreds of people." Zhi Bai said: "My subordinates were afraid that these hundreds of people would become a problem, so they led their men to suppress them. This was a waste of time."
Dear babies, monthly pass, okay?
