Chapter 28 Night Comes
However, there were still many places in the entire sand table that could not be planted with small flags, and regret appeared on Chu Ku's face.
"What a pity-" he said softly, and when he said this, he reached out and pressed his heart, but he still couldn't suppress the tumbling and let out a few coughs.
"General." The guards next to him immediately brought the tea cup.
Chu Ku took a few sips, pressed down his cough, and reached out: "Where is the marching map you just surveyed?"
The guard was uneasy and nervous: "General, it's time to rest. Master Zhong has ordered you not to go to bed late."
Chu Ku smiled and said, "It's not bad for this time, right? How long can it take to take a look at the marching map?"
The guard was in a dilemma, and rushed steps came from outside the door, accompanied by a notice, "Deputy General Zhong is back."
The guards were very happy to welcome him. Although Chu Ku stood in front of the sand table and did not move, joy and expectation appeared in his eyes.
Deputy General Zhong was covered in dust and stood in the hall to take off his hat and scarf, revealing his dry lips.
"General, don't worry, the lady has been escorted by Prince Zhongshan to meet with Prince Ake," he said.
Chu Ku handed him a cup of tea, Deputy General Zhong took it and drank it all, and then scar's face was almost twisted.
"Brother!" he shouted, sticking out his tongue, "Why do you want me to take medicine?"
He is not afraid of the fire and fire, but he is afraid of taking medicine.
"It's not medicine, it's medicinal tea, it's a kind of tea. You're running hard and tired, and the cold is accumulated. Take medicine tea and rinse it." Chu Ku smiled and called the guards to bring the tea again, "This second cup is hot tea."
Deputy General Zhong took the second cup and sniffed it carefully. He finally drank it all in one go. After two cups of tea, a sweat came out and a breath of turbid air was released. Sure enough, his whole body was unobstructed, and he praised: "Brother is so awesome."
Chu Ku said: "I became a doctor after a long illness."
Hearing this sentence, Deputy General Zhong's face collapsed, and it became even more ugly: "Brother——"
After shouting, I took a deep breath. What's the use of being sad? It only increases my worries. Now it's more important to do things. Tell Chu Ku about Chu Zhao.
"It must be because I heard the news that you were sick, so I was asking to come back. I suspect someone was deliberately trying."
The warmth on Chu Ku's face dissipated, and his eyebrows were sharp: "Someone noticed it so quickly?" His eyebrows softened again, "How is Azhao? Are you scared?"
Deputy General Zhong thought for a while: "Azhao cried when he saw me. He seemed to be frightened, but what she did was amazing. She deceived many people and didn't seem to be afraid at all."
Chu Ke's letter had already added fuel to the air about what Chu Zhao did, and Chu Ku knew it, and couldn't help but smile when he heard it.
"She is so good at lying people. I haven't noticed it before." He said, and sighed again, "When she was by my side, she was safe, happy and comfortable, and she didn't need to lie. Now that I am not by my side, she can only rely on herself in the face of difficulties and obstacles, and she is still afraid."
Deputy General Zhong took out a letter from his arms: "The letter from A Zhao to you."
Chu Ku reached out and took it and opened it. There were not many words written on the letter, only a few simple lines. When he glanced at it, the first few lines were full of deep requests. When he wanted to come back, Chu Ku looked sour, but when it fell on the last line, he froze and held the letter on the table.
The bang shocked Deputy General Zhong.
"What's wrong?" he asked nervously.
Of course, he didn't read the letter Chu Zhao wrote to his father. It was supposed to be the girl who cried and said something about how she missed her father, or that she was bullied in the capital, which made her father feel distressed.
Why does Chu Ku look angry?
"She asked her mother." Chu Ku said.
Deputy General Zhong's face also frowned, and then he frowned: "This is inevitable. Not to mention the other people in the capital, the family members are not good at speaking. Brother, we are also on guard. So we told Ah Zhao since childhood that her mother was a humble mother and you two were not etiquette. After entering the capital, she would not be troubled too much if she listened to those criticisms."
Sadness is definitely sad. After all, he is a little girl. When she arrives in such a prosperous and wealthy place, she is pointed at by others.
Chu Ku's expression was a little complicated. According to the letter, there were guards outside the door rushing in: "General, arrest - well, there is a man."
Both Chu Ku and Deputy General Zhong looked at the guards. What exactly was it? Or was it arrested?
"Catched a soldier from the county town, but he identified the ID number plate at a glance, which was not his-" said the guard.
Before he could finish his words, Deputy General Zhong Scar's face was full of chills: "Then just chop it, no matter which one is looking for death."
Recently, more and more people have been spying on it, and they are more and more courageous. They have taken them as a place to fall into the city!
The guard looked at Deputy General Zhong: "He said he knew Mr. Zhong, and came to find you."
Deputy General Zhong’s scars are beating: “There are so many people who know grandpa, I can just chop it up—”
The guard finished speaking: "He said his name was Ajiu."
"——Ah, Ah Jiu?" Deputy General Zhong's tongue slipped and almost bitten, and his face became stiff.
It turned out to be this kid! What is this kid doing? It shouldn't be-
His gaze subconsciously looked at Chu Ku.
Chu Ku listened aside. Seeing Deputy General Zhong’s reaction, he knew that it should be a misunderstanding. It was indeed someone he knew, but suddenly, Deputy General Zhong’s eyes were still very strange.
"Since you know each other, go and see him." Chu Ku said, thinking that Deputy General Zhong was asking for instructions.
Deputy General Zhong waved his hand and asked the guards to go down first, but he stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Chu Ke smiled, "Can't it be you?"
Deputy General Zhong said: "This Ajiu, I know the lady."
Chu Ku was slightly stunned, but his mind was quick and quick, and immediately thought: "Is it a post soldier?" He smiled slightly. It was not surprising that he came to ask for some benefits when he learned that Chu Zhao was his daughter. "Since we came to visit him on our own initiative, we don't have to go to the county town to thank you again."
Deputy General Zhong thought about it: "Miss and this Ajiu, well, have a good relationship."
Chu Ku understood, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became lighter: "Is that so? How good is it?"
How was it good? Deputy General Zhong was a little unreasonable. What he saw with his own eyes was that the lady who was crying and wanted to return to the border county called Ajiu and said a few words to Ajiu, then she stopped making trouble.
This is not bad, the worst thing is that I heard of it.
Although the post soldier and the prince of Zhongshan were both subtle, the prince's guard, the one named Tieying, told him very bluntly that at the time, Miss Chu and Ajiu got into trouble and jumped into the river. After their prince saved him, Miss Chu complained that the prince was meddling in other people's business.
"What other people's business is too much to worry about? Ask Miss Chu."
Finally, Tieying said something sarcastically.
Deputy General Zhong is also a wife and a child, so he didn't understand what he meant. He was so angry that he almost pulled Ajiu over on the spot, but reason told him to hold back.
However, along the way, Ajiu did not approach him. The post soldier named Zhang also told him obscurely that Ajiu and Miss Chu did not have a good relationship. Ajiu did not agree to take her. The two often had disputes, but everyone was in good intentions. If they were neglecting Miss Chu, it was because they did not know their identity and the post soldier's responsibilities.
Thinking about how A Zhao deceived a group of people to join the post soldiers, Deputy General Zhong calmed down and felt that the lady's attitude towards Ajiu was just to follow the post soldiers to the border county.
If Ajiu was a wise man, he would understand the lady’s intentions and would not think randomly, and this matter would be over.
Unexpectedly, this kid came to find General Chu in the middle of the night. What did he want to do? Didn’t he figured it out?
Deputy General Zhong clenched his hands and creaked, so let him wake up.
Chu Ku smiled and signaled Deputy General Zhong to calm down.
