Chapter 97
Gu Mingzhu looked intently and carefully selected. She was never a person who struggled, so she quickly pointed to the courtyard in the east of the city and said, "Let's go, the location is quiet, and the garden is also suitable."

Xu Jue smiled.

Gu Xiurong said: "Why didn't you choose this place? The big plum garden, don't you love plum blossoms the most?"

Gu Mingzhu said, "I don't like it."

Gu Xiurong had no choice but to put away the drawings and said, "Yes, I accept the punishment."

Gu Mingzhu looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Xiurong shrugged and said, "I bet you two, guess which one you will choose."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Oh? You think I will choose this?"

"I would like to bet and admit defeat, but I never thought... my own sister is like someone else's sister."

Gu Mingzhu looked slightly unnatural, coughed lightly, changed the subject, and said, "What bet are you betting on?"

"Bet on an item I keep at home."

Gu Mingzhu nodded and stopped asking.

Gu Xiurong said quickly: "Since you have made your choice, tomorrow I will have someone put up a plaque and turn it inside out again. After this work is over, I will return to Gusu."

Gu Mingzhu was taken aback: "Brother...? Aren't you going to stay?"

Gu Xiurong smiled: "My parents are still waiting for me, Mingzhu, you didn't want to implicate the family when you buried your name. I have been here for half a month, if I don't leave, the Gu family may be in danger."

Gu Mingzhu said, "Are you still going to Jiangling?"

Gu Xiurong's face was slightly condensed, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I know you are safe now, so I won't wade in this muddy water in Jiangling. I'm in Gusu, guarding my home."

Gu Mingzhu was silent, and said after a long while: "Alright, after my side is settled down, I will go back to pick up my parents myself."

Gu Xiurong said: "In addition to picking a house for you today, there is one more thing."

"what?"

Gu Xiurong said: "The southeast defense line. Jiangling's reception of the 50 troops in the northwest will be completed soon. When the time comes, war between the two sides is inevitable. Before that, the southeast defense line must be completed as soon as possible."

He paused, and continued: "Ah Jue and I have just studied the topographic map of the southeast for half a day. We plan to build a fortified line of defense with Duanzhou as the leader, Liangzhou as the boundary, and Cuiping Mountain as the back."

Gu Xiurong pointed to the map on the table. Gu Mingzhu didn't check it just now, and then realized that it was a topographic map of the southeast.

Gu Xiurong pointed to Duanzhou and said: "Duanzhou is a big city, and it will soon become the first military city in the southeast. There must be at least [-] troops here, and they will spread to the left with Duanzhou as a point. Mainly, equipped with well-equipped bows and crossbows, we can provide immediate reinforcements."

Gu Mingzhu nodded her head and listened intently, when she suddenly felt the back of her hand being touched.

Gu Xiurong pointed to the picture, clicked on several places, and said something else.

The thumb was hooked, and the palm was gently scratched.

Taking advantage of people not paying attention, Gu Mingzhu gave a threatening glance.

Xu Jue smiled, and held her hand with the hand hidden under the cloak, but said without changing his face: "My opinion is the same as that of Xiu Rong."

Gu Xiurong looked at him.

Gu Mingzhu felt nervous inexplicably, she was afraid that Xu Jue's small movements would be noticed, and she was a little annoyed that he was so bold.

Gu Xiurong smiled and said, "Didn't you come up with the idea? It seems like it's all mine."

He turned to look at Gu Mingzhu, and said: "If you don't understand some of the details, you can ask your Xu family brother in the future. He has experienced many battles, so you can rest assured to leave these matters to him."

Gu Mingzhu nodded.

Gu Xiurong looked at her suspiciously: "Why is your face so red?"

Gu Mingzhu gave a light ah, and said, "Yes...is there?"

Gu Xiurong said, "Do you want to look in the mirror?"

As he said that, he really went to take off the mirror.

As soon as Gu Xiurong turned around, Gu Mingzhu's hand broke free from his palm.

"Here, see for yourself."

Gu Mingzhu took the box of mirrors, and the woman's reddish cheeks were reflected in the large square mirror.

Gu Mingzhu calmly put down the mirror and said, "Maybe it's too hot."

Gu Xiurong looked at the gust of wind blowing outside the window, and looked at her like she was looking at a fool.

Gu Mingzhu touched her nose unnaturally, and said, "Look at what I'm doing, it's time to deliver dinner."

Gu Xiurong said: "Eat first, I'll go back soon."

The sky began to darken.

As soon as Gu Xiurong left the house, Xu Jue dragged him into a corner where he couldn't see from the outside.

Gu Mingzhu said: "You are crazy!"

Xu Jue said, "What? Am I so shameless?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "I didn't say you're shameless, it's just that it's not a good time right now."

Xu Jue raised her eyebrows: "You are such a scumbag."

Gu Mingzhu: "?"

Xu Jue raised his eyebrows: "Eat up and wipe me out, but don't give me a decent title, do you think you are a scumbag?"

Gu Mingzhu laughed angrily: "Crazy?"

"I'm mad at you." Xu Jue trapped her in a small world: "Say! When will you give me my title?"

The atmosphere between the two was subtle.

Gu Mingzhu became interested, and her eyes drooped: "Oh... I don't want to give it anymore now, and I suddenly feel that the well-known Xu Jue is my bed warming restaurant, and it feels pretty good."

"You philanderer..."

"Yeah..." Gu Mingzhu said in a leisurely tone, "I'm just ruthless..."

Before the ghost word could be uttered, Xu Jue had already pressed the person down and kissed him.

He just wanted to shut her mouth, kiss her innocently, met the smile in her eyes, moved away for a while, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a landing sound behind him, and then Gu Xiurong's shocked voice sounded: "You... ...you...you!"

The two turned their heads at the same time.

Gu Xiurong looked shocked, his eyes were full of disbelief, he pointed with trembling hands, his eyes swept over the two of them back and forth: "You... you... I... damn it!"

Even Xu Jue couldn't help coughing lightly, and said, "Xiu Rong, listen to me..."

Gu Xiurong pointed at him, and said heartbrokenly: "A Jue, I never thought that I treat you as a brother, but you want to be my brother-in-law!"

"You actually like my sister, a troublemaker?"

Xu Jue paused when he was about to explain.

Gu Mingzhu wanted to be a transparent person, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but argue: "Brother, when did I cause trouble?"

Gu Xiurong glared: "You haven't caused too many troubles? Isn't Dongnan the trouble you caused?"

Gu Mingzhu shut up in time.

Xu Jue glanced at Gu Mingzhu and said, "That's right, I like Mingzhu."

Gu Xiurong said: "When did it happen?"

Xu Jue was silent for a rare moment before saying, "It's been a long time."

"There must be a time, when?"

Gu Mingzhu was also a little curious about this question, and tilted her head to look at him.

The two siblings stared at Xu Jue together.

Xu Jue coughed.

Gu Xiurong held his chin: "Could it be when we were in Jiangling?"

Xu Jue shook his head: "No."

"Could it be my father's birthday in Gusu?"

Xu Jue hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Gu Xiurong laughed loudly: "I really didn't expect, Ah Jue, that you would actually like Mingzhu. You don't know, but I secretly detested her in my heart. She caused troubles all day long in Gusu, and I was there for her in the future." Life in the Yunfu was worrying, and I was very worried when I got divorced, I never thought that you would like her, this is really never expected!"

Gu Mingzhu gloomily stared at the person in front of her: "Brother!"

She was so annoyed that she came to hit him, but Gu Xiurong was not afraid of it, hey, pulled Xu Jue past him, hid behind him and laughed, "I can't hit him."

Gu Mingzhu gritted her teeth angrily, and had nothing to do with him.
