The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 483: Success (Part 1)

Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng entered the prefect's mansion in the afternoon, but the prefect didn't come back until evening.

Master Hu asked the kitchen to cook dinner, and he served it himself.

Gu Chengfeng was at Gu Jiao's side, so Master Hu also brought the food to this room.

At this time, both Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng took off the masks on their faces. When seeing Gu Chengfeng, Master Hu only thought that this lord really looked good, but he was too young. How could the Empress Dowager Zhuang arrange such a young man? What about the young people who come to the frontier?

Then he saw Gu Jiao at the side.

Master Hu was immediately stunned by the birthmark on Gu Jiao's face, is the imperial court so careless about employing people?

Gu Chengfeng had a panoramic view of Master Hu's reaction, and he didn't care when Master Hu looked at him, but Master Hu stared at Gu Jiao with such a strange gaze, which made him angry for no reason.

His expression turned cold: "Master Hu, is there anything else?"

"Ah! No, no!" Master Hu came back to his senses in an instant, noticed the other party's displeasure, smiled shyly, and took two steps forward with a tray in his hand and said, "My lords, this is dinner, my little one. You put it here."

As he spoke, he placed the tray respectfully on the table in front of the two of them.

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Jiao have traveled along the way, and they spent a lot of time eating and sleeping in the open. They have experienced rich cities and barren towns. The further north, the colder the weather, and the more miserable the people's life seems to be.

It's just that he didn't expect that the food in the majestic prefect's mansion would be so bad!

After all, he is the biggest magistrate!

Gu Chengfeng was dumbfounded looking at the miserable-looking miscellaneous rice buns, two hard-boiled eggs and a plate of pickled vegetables in the bowl.

As if aware of Gu Chengfeng's doubts, Master Hu smiled awkwardly, and said: "The frontier is a place of bitter cold, it is not comparable to the capital, and I hope the two adults will take care of it."

"Is even the prefect's mansion so poor?"

Gu Chengfeng couldn't help asking.

Isn't there a folk saying that three years clear the magistrate, and one hundred thousand snowflake silver?

There are only poor people in the world, how can there be poor officials?

Master Hu lowered his head and sighed helplessly: "The two adults don't know something. Yuegu City is poor, and the people can't eat enough. The prefect came from a poor family and loves the people like a son. His salary is used to help the victims. He eats whatever the common people eat, and today, in order to entertain the two adults, he dug out the eggs and pickles that were only willing to eat during the Chinese New Year. There is meat in the pickles.”

The last sentence is simply the finishing touch.

The corner of Gu Chengfeng's mouth twitched, is there meat here?

The diced kind?

what do you think,

Gu Chengfeng asked: "The imperial court allocates funds to the frontier every year, where did it go?"

Master Hu sighed again: "Our Yuegu City is just a small city, and the money allocated is not much, and all of it is used up. The prefect does not take a cent from the common people, nor does he take a penny from the court."

Gu Chengfeng was silent.

Forget it, he is a big thief, what does he care about the people's livelihood in this world?

The purpose of his trip is to rescue his grandfather, and everything else has nothing to do with him.

Master Hu observed his words carefully and said: "You two adults, please take it easy, the younger one is stepping down."

"Yeah." Gu Chengfeng waved his hand lightly.

After Master Hu went out, Gu Chengfeng casually picked up a steamed bun. It was supposed to be hot when it came out of the pan, but it was already cold when he brought it, and it was as stiff as a stone.

Gu Chengfeng took a bite, and he frowned so badly that he frowned. He said to Gu Jiao: "Princess Ning'an, if she had known that she would marry in such a place, wouldn't she have come to the frontier?"

"I don't know." Gu Jiao said.

Gu Chengfeng curled his lips in disgust, always finding a way to chat to death.

He looked disgusted, but he was very careful in picking Gu Jiao.

He peeled off the dried skin and put it into his own bowl, and put the warm and soft core inside into Gu Jiao's bowl. He also picked pickles carefully for a long time, and picked out the diced meat inside and gave it to Gu Jiao.

He was not so natural at the beginning, the first time was at the first post station after leaving Beijing, the food was not bad at that time, they actually ate a plate of shrimp, he got used to taking care of his younger brother, and went smoothly Just peeled one off for Gu Jiao.

It wasn't until they put it on Gu Jiao's plate that something was wrong.

Gu Jiao is not his brother or sister, he doesn't admit it!

The most embarrassing thing was not that he peeled the prawns for Gu Jiao in a passionate way, but that if Gu Jiao suddenly said, "Why are you being so nice to me?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiao didn't say a word, and she didn't even raise her eyelids, as if this kind of behavior was not out of the ordinary and didn't matter.

This made Gu Chengfeng secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he unconsciously did similar things a few times, and she always accepted it calmly, and if he didn't do it, she wouldn't ask him why he didn't do it.

Gu Chengfeng felt that this girl is not difficult to get along with.

Or rather, easy to get along with.

Gu Jinyu in the house is not so easy to get along with. Gu Jinyu is too fragile and needs someone to take care of her all the time, otherwise she will be sad and cry.

Gu Jiao doesn't, she only makes others cry.

After dinner, Gu Chengfeng said to Gu Jiao: "I'm going to Yecheng to save my grandfather tomorrow, what are your plans?"

The remnants of the previous dynasty were stationed in Yecheng, and his grandfather and Princess Ning'an were also arrested there.

Yecheng is the most heavily guarded city among the three cities. It not only has the remnants of the previous dynasty, but also has the army of Chen Guo.

But he had to do this, it was his grandfather, even if Yecheng was a sea of ​​swords and flames, he still had to go for it.

Gu Chengfeng suddenly remembered Gu Jiao's purpose of coming to the frontier, and asked her: "You said your brother was also arrested, so he is also in Yecheng, right?"

"Not here." Gu Jiao said.

Gu Chengfeng's expression relaxed: "It's good if you're not in Yecheng. The situation in Yecheng is the most complicated. Don't act on your own. Wait until I go to Yecheng to rescue my grandfather, and then I will go rescue your brother with you."

Gu Jiao took a sip of the sandy water and said slowly, "Okay."

Princess Ning'an and the old Lord Hou had been secretly transferred a long time ago, and they were not in Yecheng at all at this time, and Yecheng was an empty nest where Gu Chengfeng would never return.

After Gu Chengfeng returned to the house, Gu Jiao also took a rest.

In the middle of the night, she heard a very slight movement from the roof, her ears moved, and she coldly opened her eyes.

In that dream, Gu Chengfeng lived in an inn, and he was drugged on the first night. As a result, when he went to Yecheng to save people the next day, he suddenly lost all his skills and fell into the other party's trap.

It seems that the defense of the prefect's mansion is not very effective, and what should come has come.

There are three people in total.

Gu Jiao looked at the roof, lifted the quilt and sat up, she heard them go to the next door, she waited for them to come out and then came to her side to die, but they left directly!

and many more.

She came with Gu Chengfeng, didn't they drug her too?

Or is Gu Chengfeng the only one they have to deal with from beginning to end?

wrong.

Gu Chengfeng and the old Hou Ye were beheaded, Gu Changqing's legs were cut off, and the Gu family army was destroyed... This is not aimed at Gu Chengfeng, but at the Gu family and the Gu family army.

She concealed her identity and did not reveal the fact that she was the daughter of the Gu family, so the other party did not count her in.

Gu Jiao's eyes turned cold, she pushed open the door and went out, came to Gu Chengfeng's room, kicked the door open, walked in and extinguished the fragrance on the window sill.

Gu Chengfeng was awakened by the huge movement, and sat up holding the dagger: "Who is it!"

He looked at Gu Jiao and frowned: "It's you?"

"Let's go." Gu Jiao said lightly.

"What?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

Gu Jiao threw the extinguished Mixiang out of the windowsill: "Isn't it to save people?"

Gu Chengfeng followed her movements and looked around: "What did you throw away just now?"

Gu Jiao took out the handkerchief and wiped her hands: "Mixiang."

Gu Chengfeng frowned: "Did you give me the fragrance?"

Gu Jiaoyun said calmly: "Yes, I want to kill you."

Gu Chengfeng's face darkened.

Of course he didn't believe that Gu Jiao would kill her, so Gu Jiao didn't bring Mixiang here, he looked at Gu Jiao, then at the door kicked open by her, his face darkened, and said: "Someone came here just now? "

"It's not too stupid." Gu Jiao put away the veil and said.

Gu Chengfeng's expression flashed a trace of solemnity, he is Feishuang, only he knows how alert he is. Gu Jiao said that they were being followed when they entered the city, and he only thought that the other party was far away and he couldn't find it in time.

However, tonight the other party sneaked under his nose, and he didn't notice it at all...

Gu Jiao walked out: "If you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up."

At this point, it would be a bit hypocritical to tell Gu Jiao that you don't have to take risks with me.

Gu Chengfeng put a serious expression on his face, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

They slept in the open air during this journey, and they all slept with their clothes on.

After getting out of bed, he grabbed the sword directly, and quietly left the prefect's mansion with Gu Jiao.

In order not to let the three people notice, they followed a little far away.

At this moment, the two were hiding on a roof, Gu Chengfeng looked at the three people who were defecating in front, and raised his hand to cover Gu Jiao's eyes.

Gu Jiao: "..."

Thanks, I wasn't interested in that either.

Gu Chengfeng whispered: "Tell me, are they the remnants of the previous dynasty or the masters of Chen Guo?"

"The remnants of the previous dynasty." Gu Jiao said without thinking.

"So sure?" Gu Chengfeng looked surprised.

Gu Jiao nodded.

She thought about it carefully just now, the remnants of the previous dynasty and Chen Guo's army were in collusion. It seemed that all their actions were one, but in fact they had their own goals.

For example, it is the idea of ​​Chen Guo's army to let the 100,000 Gu family troops go without returning, but it is more like the scheme of the remnants of the previous dynasty to deal with the grandparents of the Gu family.

I don't know how the Gu family offended the remnants of the previous dynasty and received such wild revenge from them.

In fact, Gu Chengfeng also felt that the possibility of the remnants of the previous dynasty was relatively high, after all, his grandfather fell into the hands of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Gu Chengfeng continued: "Princess Ning'an's son-in-law is also a remnant of the previous dynasty, and according to the information I inquired from Qianji Pavilion, he is also the royal family of the previous dynasty."

This Gu Jiao didn't know.

The three of them finished their convenience, Gu Chengfeng took away his hand covering Gu Jiao's eyes, and led Gu Jiao to continue chasing after him.

After chasing and chasing, he felt something was wrong.

"Hey, that doesn't seem to be the direction to go to Yecheng." He studied the map repeatedly before going to bed, and walking along this official road, you can go east to Yecheng and west to Lingguan City.

"They're going to Lingguan City!" Gu Chengfeng took a breath suspiciously, "What are they going to Lingguan City for? Shouldn't they be going to Yecheng? Could it be...they secretly shifted their positions?"

Gu Chengfeng is not stupid after all, he figured out the key point after thinking about it.

If this is the case, then my grandfather must not be in Ye City anymore, and I ran over there with untold hardships, but in the end I could only miss it.

Fleeing the air is the second, and the group of people drugged him and shifted their positions. I'm afraid they have already set a trap in Yecheng.

Gu Chengfeng looked shocked: "I co-authored to give them a thousand miles away..."

Gu Jiao squinted at him, and silently patted her hands in her heart.

Congratulations, you are right.

The two chased after midnight, and when dawn approached, the three finally stopped their journey and entered a mansion with tokens.

"It's Lingguan City Prefect's Mansion." Gu Chengfeng lay on the eaves of a roof, turned his head and whispered to Gu Jiao behind him.

Lingguan City fell, and the Taishou Mansion had long been in the possession of the remnants of the previous dynasty and the army of Chen Guo.

The Taishou Mansion was heavily guarded by soldiers. Judging from the armor, there were both soldiers of the Chen State and the army of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

"Will grandfather be imprisoned here?" Gu Chengfeng murmured.

Gu Jiao thought he was asking her, and replied, "I don't know."

She didn't dream about this detail, but only knew that Gu Chengfeng and the old Hou Ye were beheaded in Lingguan City, and their heads were also hung on the city wall of Lingguan City.
