beauty heart thorn

Chapter 12 The Name of Kyushu
After four or five miles, the road surface was potholed and immediately bumped. Gu Mingzhu dismounted, walked to the side of the road, let go of the reins, and walked towards the woods alone.

The mountains were silent, and soon came to the end of the forest.

"Miss." A figure quietly appeared behind him.

Gu Mingzhu looked into the distance, and said in a calm tone, "How about what I told you to do?"

Under the sunlight, the man in Tsing Yi was extremely respectful: "Everything has been arranged according to Miss's instructions."

Gu Mingzhu said: "It seems to be doing well, how is Liandong going?"

"A letter from Liandong, our people have arrived in Jiangling, and everything is going well."

Gu Mingzhu stood with her hands behind her back, silent for a moment, then turned her head and said, "Did you get injured last night?"

Under the silver dragon mask, the man in Tsing Yi lowered his brows and eyes: "Miss Xie cares about you. I just fought with Miss's guards yesterday. Chu Qiu was not injured."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Yang Jiu is my brother's personal bodyguard. He has practiced martial arts since childhood, and his martial arts are not inferior to the three of you. If we meet in the future, don't confront him head-on."

"Chu Qiu understands." Chu Qiu raised his head and said, "Yueyan next to Miss is a bit strange."

When mentioning Yueyan, Gu Mingzhu's indifferent expression became a bit more interesting, and said: "This person has a clever and exquisite heart, and can always guess what I want to do. He will help me openly and secretly, and check her details."

"My subordinate understands."

Gu Mingzhu took two steps forward, her eyes darkened: "I have other things to do when I go to Xiangbei to check on the business. It takes at least a month to go back and forth. I will leave the Jiangling matter to you for the time being. I know that you are doing things safely, but I still want to tell you a few words, Chun Wei is a big deal, and it is not a trivial matter, so don't take it lightly."

Chu Qiu lowered his eyes respectfully: "Chu Qiu understands, and I will definitely live up to Miss's wishes."

"If the money is not enough, I will make it up later."

Chu Qiu said: "Except for the tight money in the east, we are fine."

Gu Mingzhu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The east side can't be tight, let me think of a way."

It's almost time.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Go."

Chu Qiu saluted: "The subordinates are waiting for Miss in Jiangling."

Gu Mingzhu walked out of the woods, the road was quiet, the horse happily gnawed on the grass, heard the voice of the master, and walked towards her in a very human way.

Gu Mingzhu smiled and reached out to stroke the horse's head: "Are you full?"

Marcus exhaled.

Gu Mingzhu got on his horse and waited. After waiting for about a moment, the four of them finally joined up and entered the northwest boundary on the evening of the third day.

Northwest is also known as Kyushu in the mouth of the common people. Kyushu includes nine big cities in the northwest, three counties and six counties, all of which are under the jurisdiction of King Dingbei.

The territory of the Li Kingdom is huge, and all the princes and princes have fiefs, but there is no other prince of the opposite sex like Kyushu who holds an army of 50.

Speaking of Kyushu, one has to mention Xu Wei, the King of the North. The Xu family has guarded the northwest for more than [-] years, protecting one side of the territory, protecting the people of Kyushu, and stopping foreign enemies from all directions. They are deeply loved by the people of Dali.

It was five years ago that Xu Wei became the king. When the old emperor visited Dingyang City in the northwest, the news leaked out and the enemy army besieged the city. There was another accident in the army. Xu Wei and the old emperor were trapped in Dingyang City for half a month. Long.

"Then how did Dingyang get out of trouble?" Chun'er questioned.

Gu Mingzhu smiled and didn't speak.

Yang Jiumu had a face, his face rarely showed any other expressions, and said: "Dingyang was besieged for half a month, the commander was trapped in the army, and the people were panic-stricken. They all knew that the opening to the north would be torn open. Xu Shizi, who was only 15 years old, led [-] elite troops to attack thousands of miles, attacked the enemy camp at night, beheaded the enemy's commander, and solved the difficulties in Dingyang."

Chun'er exclaimed: "That Xu Shizi is really amazing!"

"The common people respect King Dingbei, but the soldiers regard Xu Shizi as a god."

Chun'er nodded half understanding.

But Yue Yan said: "In the year of weak crown, but can command the three armies, such a deterrent force, may not be a good thing."

When she said this, her eyes fell on Gu Mingzhu in front of her. The girl was sitting upright on the horse, her back was slender, and her hair was flying like ink in the wind.

Yueyan looked away, and said with a smile: "It is rumored that Xu Shizi is a young hero, and he was born with unparalleled beauty. Those who say that he is close will almost break the threshold of Xu's residence."

To enter Kyushu, one must cross the Meishui River that spans the north and south. The four of them boarded a boat, and when it was getting dark, they finally arrived at Weishui City, the southernmost state city in Kyushu.

The night in the north was bitterly cold, Gu Mingzhu's body was delicate and her face was pale by the cold wind, the four of them found an inn and had an early rest.

At dawn on the second day, Chun'er was waiting for Gu Mingzhu to get up and freshen up. Just as she took out the earrings, the waiter from the inn came up and knocked on the door, "Miss, someone is looking for you."

Chun'er carefully put the red agate earrings on Gu Mingzhu. Miss Today chose a crescent white dress, which was a bit plain. She is 16 years old, and this pair of agate earrings is brightly colored, making up for the plainness of the dress. , and paired with a phoenix butterfly peach hairpin, it complements each other.

Chun'er heard Xiao Er's words, put down the comb and went out to take a look, then quickly returned and said, "Miss, it's Er Ye who is here."

Before Gu Mingzhu could react, hearty laughter came from the door: "Wanwan."

Gu Mingzhu saw who was coming, and ran towards him happily: "Second Uncle!"

Gu Cheng hugged the little man who rushed towards him vigorously, and said in a doting tone, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and the little girl has lost a lot of weight."

Gu Mingzhu poked her small head out of his arms, her face couldn't hide her happiness: "Second Uncle, I miss you so much."

Gu Cheng scratched the tip of her nose, let go of Gu Mingzhu, and said, "My little ancestor, my second uncle also misses you, but as soon as I receive a letter from my elder brother, I will pick you up when I know you are here."

Gu Mingzhu took his arm, like a clingy child, and said: "This time I come to Xiangbei, I must stay for a while."

When Gu Cheng heard it, it was exactly what he wanted, and said: "Wanwan can stay as long as she wants, Second Uncle wishes you could stay in Xiangbei forever, without you, a little troublemaker, Second Uncle would be very bored."

"Second Uncle." Gu Mingzhu said coquettishly.

Gu Cheng said: "Okay, okay, just to tease you, the carriage is ready, let's talk while walking."

A group of people went downstairs and took the Gu family's carriage to Xiangbei.

Near the end of the day, the group finally arrived in Xiangbei, an extremely rich state and county in Kyushu.

The Gu family's mansion in Xiangbei is not eye-catching, it is a courtyard with two gardens.Although it is not big, the layout is exquisite, and the backyard and the front shop are connected through the corridor, which is smooth all the way.

Gu Mingzhu lived in Xiyuan, which was free, and after tidying up, it was already dark, so she took Yueyan to look for Gu Cheng.

In the corridor of the east courtyard, Gu Chengzheng was talking with someone. When the two approached, they heard Gu Cheng frowning and asking: "How much is it expected?"

A man about 40 years old replied: "Boss shopkeeper, this time the Zeng family is coming very aggressively. If we want not to be controlled by others, we may have to bleed a lot."

Business matters?
Gu Mingzhu called out at the right time: "Second Uncle."

The conversation between the two was interrupted, Gu Cheng heard her voice and glanced over, then said to the man: "We'll decide this matter slowly."
