Zhang Cheng sent people to search the mountain for two days and nights, but no sign of Zhou Gu was found.
He said angrily: "I don't know where it is hidden, this person can't find it."
Zhang Yundao: "Second uncle, let's attack the city. Don't delay any longer."
Zhang Cheng looked at him, "You are so injured..."
Zhang Cheng can already get out of bed and walk around, but Zhang Yun can't yet. His injury is too serious and he will have to recover for a few days.
Zhang Yundao said: "My injury is not serious and I don't need to do it myself anyway. Second uncle, you really can't delay it any longer. Otherwise, once the imperial troops arrive, it will be difficult to capture Nanping City.
You don’t need to think too hard to know that Zhou Gu was willing to take the risk of sneaking into the military camp at night to kill you and me just to buy time for Nanping City."
Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, attack the city tonight."
He ordered that all those who were searching be withdrawn and prepare for war.
Zhang Cheng gave an order, and the Northern Hebei Army withdrew from Sou Mountain and returned to the barracks. The secret guards received the news immediately, and Zhou Gu and others came out of the secret room where they had been bored for two days and nights.
After recovering from her injuries for a few days, Su Rong was able to get off the ground and walk around on her own. She wanted to jump up and down, but as soon as she made a move, she was stopped by Zhou Gu. Although he looked like a young man, he taught her like a gentleman, "How old are you?"
Are you there? I don’t know if your injury is healed yet? Don’t jump around."
Su Rong stared at him, "Zhou Gu, have you noticed that you care about me like a daughter?"
Zhou Gu blushed and looked at her pretty face, thinking that if his future daughter was so difficult to control and so unbehaved, would he be willing to beat her?
Su Rong saw that his eyes were wandering, as if he was thinking about something irrelevant. She was speechless, "Zhou Gu, you are not thinking wildly, are you? You are thinking too far!"
Zhou Gu's face turned even redder, and he said angrily, "I didn't, so don't talk nonsense."
Even if he thought about it, he wouldn't admit it.
Su Rong didn't believe it, "Just don't think about it."
She reached out and patted his head, like a puppy, "Be good, don't think about those things. We haven't accomplished the task yet. Let's think about the immediate things first."
What she meant was that it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to ascend to the throne alive, and it was really delusional to still miss her daughter.
She herself didn't dare to think about having a son who looked like him.
Zhou Gu brushed her hand away angrily, "You have to be good. Don't move until your injury is healed. Otherwise, I will write a letter to my aunt and file a lawsuit against you."
Su Rong: "..."
She was indeed a little afraid of the eldest lady. She was thousands of miles away and had to think of how to beat her up.
Not only did Su Rong feel uncomfortable after not bathing for two days, but Zhou Gu also felt uncomfortable. After Su Rong had Lanzhi scrubbing her body, Zhou Gu was bathing next door while thinking that Zhang Cheng had stopped searching the mountains and was probably planning to start a war against Nanping City.
Now that the third brother has not arrived, and the second brother has not arrived, can Nanping City withstand the siege of 200,000 troops?
Obviously it can't.
I can only last one day at most. I have to think of a way quickly.
After Zhou Gu finished bathing, he estimated the time and went to find Su Rong. Sure enough, Lanzhi had packed up Su Rong, scrubbed her body, washed her hair, put her clothes on, and was wiping her hair. After he walked in, he said:
Lanzhi said: "You go ahead, I'll do it."
Lanzhi pursed her lips and smiled, nodded, and handed Su Rong over to Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu took the handkerchief and handed it to Su Rong to wipe her head with some clumsiness. The long, smooth hair, like black brocade, was wiped carefully under his hands, for fear of pulling her scalp or breaking a few strands.
Even though he looked clumsy, Su Rong didn't mind him and sat obediently.
Zhou Gu thought she was so good at this time, so he couldn't help but kiss her on the ear and praised her, "She's so good."
Su Ronxiao, after unlocking the function of the marriage certificate, she used it very confidently. It seemed that she wanted to make up for all the incomprehension she had suffered when she was in Jiangning County and the internal injuries she suffered when she broke off the engagement when she was in Beijing. He would either kiss her all the time or
Sticking to her made her doubt that she was not a person but a piece of candy.
Zhou Gu dried Su Rong's hair, combed her hair with a comb, then put down the comb and gestured to her back with his palm.
Su Rong couldn't see his movements, but she could feel what he was doing and asked, "What are you gesticulating for?"
Zhou Gu hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear: "When did your hair reach your waist?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhou Gu chuckled, "If you have long hair that reaches your waist, you can get married."
Su Rong: "..."
She was amused, "Are you so impatient?"
Zhou Gu said "Huh", "That's natural."
He had a hunch that Zhang Ping's rebellion was not caused suddenly by cooperating with the Nangong family, or that the Wei Dynasty had long been suspected of treason. If this was the case, then she would have no time to fight again after she suppressed Zhang Ping's rebellion.
He is in Daliang, so he has to rush to Nanchu. Otherwise, if the Wei Dynasty also raises troops, then the two countries will go to war, and Nanchu will inevitably get involved. Daliang needs Nanchu's help. But now he has only taken one
Paper wedding certificate, as for the wedding, it may be far away.
After all, once a war starts, it's hard to say when it will end or how many years it will last.
"Okay, I understand." Su Rong put her hand around his neck and affirmed, "Then I won't cut my hair secretly anymore."
Zhou Gu was shocked, "You actually cut your hair secretly?"
"Yes, otherwise my hair would be too long, which would be troublesome and tiring to wash." Su Rong complained, "One time my mother saw me holding a pair of scissors and was very angry. She said that my body and skin were affected by my parents, and asked me what I wanted to do.
?Do you want to become a monk at a young age? Later, I invited my father, eldest brother, and my aunts and sisters to give special instructions, saying that if I saw anyone who dared to cut their hair, I would cut off their monthly rules."
Su Rong sighed, "I didn't want her to interrupt my monthly routine, so I cut it secretly. I didn't cut too much every time, but just cut it a small inch so she couldn't notice it. Later I felt that my sisters' long hair was very good, and mine was the only one."
But why do they stop growing when they reach the back? I said it was because I was ignorant when I was a child and I probably hurt them with scissors, so they didn’t like to grow anymore.”
Zhou Gu: "..."
He was at a loss for words, "Does Auntie believe it?"
"Believe it." Su Rong giggled, "If you don't believe it, she can't catch me."
Zhou Gu reached out and pinched Su Rong's face, "Naughty."
Su Rong pinched him back, "Hurry up and get down to business, estimate the time, the soldiers and horses won't come so soon, we have to think of a way quickly."
"I just thought about it, but there is a way. It is too vicious, but there is no way. Who makes us have no soldiers and generals now." Zhou Gu said: "Nanping City must not fall into Zhang Cheng's hands."
"What method can you tell me?" Su Rong asked.
Zhou Gudao: "Don't we have poisonous powder in our hands? I think we can poison it again."
With one assassination and one poisoning, reinforcements can always be delayed.
"Poisoning..." Su Rong pondered, "What do you mean, in the river outside Nanping City? The water source used by 200,000 soldiers and horses?"
"Yes." Zhou Gu nodded, "Although the river has long been frozen, water can still be obtained by digging holes in the ice. The 200,000 troops of the Northern Hebei Army drink the water from that river."
Su Rong looked at him, "Few people in Nanping City dig deep underground wells, and most of them drink water from there."
"There's nothing you can do about it. The poison won't kill you, but it will make your whole body weak and your hands and feet weak. It won't hurt anyone, but it can save Nanping City." Zhou Gu said.
Su Rong agreed, "Okay, let's do it."
There really was no better way. She had to be lucky that she knew how to make poison, otherwise the poison in a river wouldn't work even if it was lightly dosed. You couldn't buy it in such a large quantity, so you could make it yourself.
