Chapter 437 Witness (one more)
Su Rong was talking to Feng Ling, while Zhou Gu sat aside and listened without interrupting.
After the two finished talking, he said, "Jiang Zhu, the master of the eleventh village in the eighteenth village, he doesn't intend to accept the imperial court's offer, and he doesn't plan to join the prince's family, but asks me to recommend him, and he also joins you."
"Huh?" Feng Ling opened her eyes wide, "When did my sister become a sweet potato?"
No wonder he was suspicious, Su Rong's current situation is really not good, it is very difficult, before entering Southern Chu, there will be wave after wave of assassinations from Southern Chu, if he enters Southern Chu, it is conceivable that what he will face will be about a hundred times more difficult than now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he will step back all the way back through the forest of thorns and knives.
Taking refuge in her is tantamount to betting on the future with one's own life.
After all, danger is unknown.
Just like yesterday, if Zhou Gu hadn't rescued her, she would have been killed by Nangong Yu, so what future would there be?
Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows happily, "Why don't you say that they all have good eyesight?"
Feng Ling: "..."
It is true that this vision is good, but the road to Southern Chu to seize power is also difficult.
After yesterday, he and his sister would no longer dare to be careless and negligent after killing them, and they would not dare to underestimate anyone because everything went too smoothly, including their knowledge of the Nangong family.
"Jiang Zhu is so wise that he is close to a monster. If he joins you, he will gain nothing but no harm. He is a person who knows what he wants." Zhou Gu simply repeated what Jiang Zhu said to him about the comparison between the prince and her, and of course concealed his warning and threat Jiang Zhu not to have her ideas.
Su Rong was a bit surprised when he heard that Jiang Zhu guessed Zhou Gu's plan to go to Southern Chu from Zhou Gu's attitude towards her, "Such a smart person is indeed an indispensable talent."
She was worried that there was no one available in Nanchu. If she had brought a large number of people there, it would be different. Not only would she not need to worry about using it, but she would also avoid arresting people to use it when the time came.
She has no objection, "Okay, since you recommended it and have such a high evaluation, I will accept it. Where is he now? In the Nanping Hou Mansion?"
"When I left, I asked him to follow Ning Chi to sort out some trivial matters that I don't need to intervene. After all, major matters have been decided, and many trivial matters need to be handled by others, which cannot be resolved in a day or two. He also needs to resettle his brothers and relatives, as well as those who are unwilling to leave Daliang and go to Nanchu."
Feng Ling answered, "When Shizi Ning returned to the Nanping Marquis Mansion, I didn't see anyone with him. That Jiang Zhu should still be dealing with things in Shibazhai, right?"
Su Rong nodded, and stopped talking, "Now the most urgent thing is the troops in northern Hebei. Have you found out how many troops there are? Also, if the letter I sent to the prince goes well, it is time for the prince to arrive in the capital. The prince should have received the letter, but the capital is still too far away from Nanping, and your third brother Zhou Che, I don’t know if he has received the letter. Now I am afraid it depends on his troops."
Zhou Gudao: "I asked Ziye to investigate, but there is no news yet."
He seemed to have thought about this for a long time, and said to Su Rong: "Let's follow this road and go to Nanping City. However, if we don't enter Nanping City, we will find a secret place outside the city. One is to inquire about news, and the other is to wait for my third brother's troops. In addition, when you were changing the medicine, I had someone send a letter to Ningchi Kuaima to make him ready. He can only guard the city. Let's find an opportunity and cooperate from inside to outside."
Su Rong had the same idea when she first heard the news about the change of soldiers and horses in northern Hebei. Now that Zhou Gu said this, it coincided with her thoughts. Otherwise, if they entered the city, if a large number of soldiers and horses invaded, Nanping City only had 30,000 soldiers and horses. When they entered Nanping City, they only added a few more people who were imprisoned. It is indeed better to find a hidden place outside the city, check the news, and find a way.
"I have also sent people to inquire about the news. Among our dark guards, there are good inquirers who are good at stealth and tracking." Feng Ling said: "Sister, don't worry about it now, or it will be bad for your wounded recovery."
Su Rong nodded, "It's useless to worry."
She was brought up with a big heart. When she faced Nangong Yu who was chasing after her to kill her, although she was desperate, she also wanted to die with him. She didn't think about what happened before and after her life, what people should be thinking about, and people she couldn't bear.
So, to a certain extent, she is considered big-hearted.
Now, no matter how much she thinks about it, it's useless. What's more, after going through the two incidents of calculating Zhang Mao and Jibei's mobilization and rushing to rescue her in time, she can really see Zhou Gu's cleverness and ability to calculate and predict. With him by his side, she doesn't need to worry too much.
Feng Ling thought about it too, seeing that he had said everything he needed to say, and there was nothing more to say, he asked Zhou Gu, "Brother-in-law, I'm out, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhou Gu nodded, "Yes."
Feng Ling blinked, "Then tell me."
Zhou Gudao: "Be a witness. Your sister said that she will give me a marriage certificate. A marriage certificate for the marriage alliance."
Feng Ling: "..."
He turned to look at Su Rong.
Su Rong looked towards the ceiling.
Feng Ling didn't understand what Su Rong meant by looking at the roof of the shed. She was a little uncertain for a while, scratching her head, "This, this shouldn't be me as a witness, right?"
Both his parents and elder brother are still alive, so he doesn't seem to be qualified as a younger brother of the secret guard, right?
Zhou Gu also saw Su Rong looking towards the ceiling, and was immediately dissatisfied. He reached out and pinched her face, threatening, "What is your expression? Do you want to go back on your word?"
Su Rong was hurt by his pinching, but she couldn't lift her arm, couldn't rub her face, she could only follow the strength of his hand and turned her head to look at him. Seeing him staring at her closely, it seemed that she dared to say a word of remorse, and he immediately wanted her to look good, so she immediately said: "Don't dare, how dare I?"
If she dares, Zhou Gu will either cry or make her cry, it's not too good anyway.
"It's fine if you don't dare." Zhou Gu didn't let her go, "Then what was your expression just now?"
Su Rong was a little uncomfortable, glared at him, and said angrily: "I'm just a little embarrassed, you insist on asking."
Zhou Gu: "..."
That's it!
He was in a good mood immediately, bent his mouth, gently helped her rub the red cheeks from his pinching, turned to Feng Ling and said: "You heard, she agrees."
Feng Ling: "..."
I hear it, I hear it!
He even yelled at his brother-in-law, isn't it just to be a witness? He can do this!
Zhou Gu turned around, found a pen and ink from the box, put it on the table, and said to Su Rong: "Come on, write now, I will hold your hand, and I won't let you touch the wound."
Su Rong: "..."
Really didn't spare the wounded.
