Chapter 344 The best relative (more updates are coming)
"Sanniang!"
Gu Qingcheng walked out of the dormitory, Jiao Wei and Lu Qi both knelt down and saluted.
They were a few years older than Gu Qingcheng, and now they were both Pingting girls.
The appearance of both of them is more than delicate, but not beautiful enough.
If we use numerical values, it would be around 70, which is a little beauty among ordinary people.
As for Gu Qingcheng, her appearance is 69 points, which is basically the same as the two maids.
However, she is young, only nine years old, and she has a noble temperament that comes from her bones, making her whole person look particularly bright.
"Huh? Sanniang is growing more and more."
"Yes! I think Lingnan is a really good place. After Sanniang came to Lingnan, it became more and more beautiful!"
It cannot be said that the ancients were superstitious, but they believed more in Feng Shui and destiny.
If we are to be more scientific, oranges grow in Huainan and Huaibei.
Although Gu Qingcheng is from Jiankang, it is obvious that she is more adapted to the conditions of Lingnan.
Gu Qingcheng couldn't hear Jiao Wei and Lu Qi's thoughts, and didn't pay attention to their delighted looks.
For the two maids, they just didn't see their little girl for one night.
But for Gu Qingcheng, who has lived in the novel world for decades, it has been a separation for most of his life.
It feels like a lifetime ago!
Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng has experienced traveling through time many times, and she is a master at hiding her emotions and adjusting her mentality.
After a little daze, Gu Qingcheng adapted to everything in this world.
"Where are Aman and the others?"
Gu Qingcheng already had an idea and asked.
"Aman, Ali, they are all at the school yard in the backyard."
Jiao Wei bowed and replied.
Gu Qingcheng nodded and walked straight towards the backyard without saying anything else.
After these three years, Aman and a group of guest girls have all grown into little girls of twelve or thirteen years old.
They eat well and live well at Gu Qingcheng's side. They insist on practicing martial arts every day. They all have rosy faces and are in good spirits.
Especially Aman.
Gu Qingcheng knew that she had a big appetite, so he ordered people to prepare more meals for her to eat.
The fishing village is close to the sea and has all kinds of seafood.
Although Gu Qingcheng's memory related to the mission world was erased, she has "common sense".
When it comes to delicious food, she still knows a bit about it.
After arriving in Lingnan, in addition to seafood, there are also various fresh fruits and ingredients such as taro.
Some of the erased memories deep in Gu Qingcheng's soul began to have some "images".
Moreover, the Gu family has a cook, and Gu Qingcheng has also recruited many local talents in Lingnan.
She only needs to say a vague concept, and someone will run to experiment repeatedly.
As a result, all kinds of delicacies were perfectly reproduced.
In addition to the initial mutton hot pot and subsequent stir-fries, the Gu family has added many "private dishes" to its menu.
Just one piece of seafood, just one oyster, there are several ways to make it——
"It's a pity that there are no chili peppers! Huh? What are chili peppers? It seems to be a kind of seasoning, red, green, long, round, and can be planted in flower pots."
Fuzzy memories suddenly hit Gu Qingcheng. Unfortunately, she still didn't know the origin of chili peppers.
It doesn't matter, Gu Qingcheng has enriched the Gu family's dining table to the greatest extent.
Gu Heng ate very happily, and all the slaves of the Gu family also took advantage of it.
My favorite is Aman, with plenty of food, various varieties, and all kinds of colors, flavors, and tastes.
Alas, the little girl’s mouth is full of oil and her heart is full every time she eats.
Eat well and feel better. As a result, Ah Man is only eleven years old and almost as tall as an adult man.
However, she is not as tall as a man, and is even a little thin.
The hands are full of strength.
Now Aman can lift a bronze tripod weighing several hundred kilograms with one hand, making her a very powerful girl.
As soon as Gu Qingcheng came to the backyard, he heard the sound of shouting and drinking.
She followed the sound and looked over. A group of teenage girls were practicing hard.
Some people straddle their horses;
Some people were poking around with halberds, guns and other weapons;
Someone hacked left and right at the wooden pile;
There is also a girl who looks skinny, but she is squatting on a horse with a stone in both hands.
Everyone practiced seriously, but when they saw Gu Qingcheng, they all stopped.
"Sanniang!"
"Sanniang!"
Everyone knelt down and saluted respectfully.
"Well! Go on!"
Gu Qingcheng waved his hand casually, signaling for everyone to continue.
Ah Man and others responded and continued practicing.
Gu Qingcheng walked around the school grounds and quickly discovered the problem.
These young girls all work hard and strive to improve themselves.
But, it’s just me!
They did not practice together, nor did they have any sense of collaboration or unity.
What Gu Qingcheng wants is not only strong martial arts but also a bodyguard who can protect him.
What she needs is an army!
"Jiaowei, how many guest girls are there now?"
Gu Qingcheng stood on the high platform in front of the school grounds, condescendingly taking all the guest girls into his eyes.
"Forty-three people in total!"
Jiao Wei quickly gave the answer.
In the past three years, Gu Yi and his wife, who were far away in the Northern Dynasties, did not interrupt their contact with Lingnan.
Every once in a while, they would send someone or something to Lingnan.
Money is not needed!
Because people here in Lingnan are richer than Gu Yi and others.
Ahem, Gu Qingcheng allocated a large area of the beach and dried it with salt every spring and summer.
The huge salt field requires no firewood, no pots, and except for a small amount of manpower, it is simply a costless business.
Gu Qingcheng earns huge wealth every year by selling salt.
Really huge amount of money. To say that you are as rich as a country is an exaggeration, but if it is full of money, it seems modest.
Anyway, just selling salt allowed Gu Qingcheng to build a huge Gu Family Fort and recruit hundreds of talents.
Oh, by the way, there are also rangers!
Among the first batch of knights left behind, Gu Qingcheng promoted Nie Chengfeng first.
Nie Chengfeng went from being an idler wandering around the world to being a disciple of the Gu family.
We cannot say that we have achieved a class leap, but we have a bright future.
He has become a "role model" for all knight-errants.
Everyone followed suit and worked hard to be accepted into Gu's disciples.
As for Nie Chengfeng, he has a future and has not forgotten his relatives and friends.
While wandering around the world, he met many knight-errants;
After arriving in Lingnan, he unexpectedly discovered some old family friends.
Alas, it can be seen from this that Nie Chengfeng's family has indeed declined, and all his former family friends have been exiled to Lingnan.
After sighing, Nie Chengfeng began to do his best to help his old friend.
On Gu Qingcheng's side, he had a clear goal and took advantage of the opportunity of building the city to recruit manpower.
Nie Chengfeng's "black and white" friends are basically young and strong men who can be used.
There is also a branch of the Gu family that Gu Heng summoned from his hometown in Jiankang.
Gu Qingcheng roughly estimated that there were already more than 600 young people in the Gu family in Wubao who could ride horses and fight.
These are the confidence for the Gu family to establish a foothold in Lingnan.
But they are not Gu Qingcheng’s team!
Gu Qingcheng knew her disadvantages. She did not think that she would be domineering and domineering when she returned to this world after being the regent and queen mother in her previous life, and the emperor and first lady in the mission world.
She is a woman, she is only nine years old this year!
Both of these points are fatal flaws.
Regardless of whether they are a ranger or a branch of the Gu family, what they look for is the banner of "Gu family".
Instead of convincing her of Gu Qing and Gu Qingcheng!
Gu Qingcheng can only train his own team.
Even if he recruits those people, Gu Qingcheng must first show his strength.
If someone wants to be a lord, they must first confirm whether the other person is awesome enough.
To put it more elegantly, it’s called “A good bird chooses a tree to roost in”!
Only by planting sycamore trees can you attract golden phoenixes.
Gu Qingcheng gathered her thoughts and called Nie Chengfeng.
"Master Nie, I want to learn swordsmanship, are you willing to teach me?"
Gu Qingcheng did not call her by any polite title such as husband, but called her "Master" directly.
Nie Chengfeng is in his thirties, with a tall body and a slightly dark face.
With three strands of beautiful beard and a long sword on his back, he looks like a martial arts master.
Nie Chengfeng's heart beat faster when he heard Gu Qingcheng call him "Master Nie".
Outsiders didn't know how powerful this third lady of the Gu family was. She escorted the Gu family all the way to Lingnan and lived with the Gu family in Lingnan for three years.
Whether he saw it with his own eyes or heard it with his own ears, Nie Chengfeng knew that Sanniang of the Gu family was a little girl who was "so intelligent that she was almost a demon".
Three years ago, as a six-year-old child, she was able to take charge of the entire Gu family.
Not only did the Gu family gain a foothold in Luozhou, but they also built a huge fortress.
Not to mention, there are the salt fields on the seaside...
He has been accepted as a retainer by the Gu family, and is still far away from being a retainer.
However, Nie Chengfeng has already come into contact with some secrets of the Gu family.
Therefore, he admired Gu Qingcheng more and more, even a little in awe.
But at this moment, the genius who was almost evil in his heart was willing to worship him as his teacher.
Does this prove that he is one step closer to that goal?
"..."
Taking a deep breath, Nie Chengfeng tried his best to control the excitement in his heart and said: "If Sanniang doesn't dislike it, I will humbly be willing to give it to you!"
"master!"
Gu Qingcheng bowed her head to the ground with a very respectful attitude.
Later, under the witness of Gu Heng, he officially became Nie Chengfeng's disciple.
Nie Chengfeng:... A scholar dies for a confidant! A scholar dies for a confidant! A scholar dies for a confidant!
If Mrs. Gu treats me like this, I will definitely retaliate with death.
Nie Chengfeng was excited, proud, and moved. Under the influence of many emotions, he not only taught Gu Qingcheng everything he could, but also acted like a strict teacher.
As a result, Gu Qingcheng began a journey of hard training where he was ready to live and die.
Fortunately, her physical strength has increased, and fortunately she has a tough mind. No matter how hard or tired she is, she perseveres.
"This is the sword technique passed down from the ancestors of my Nie family. It may not be very famous, but it is also quite powerful!"
Nie Chengfeng really showed off his skills and even taught Gu Qingcheng the martial arts passed down from his ancestors.
Gu Qingcheng originally wanted to bring Aman and other guest girls to study together, but after hearing Nie Chengfeng's words, he immediately gave up the idea.
It is very rare for Nie Chengfeng to be able to teach himself the swordsmanship passed down from his ancestors.
Maybe it’s still a “decision that goes against the ancestors”!
Gu Qingcheng can't push for an inch, let alone force others to make things difficult for them.
Aman and the others should continue their normal training.
After you have learned it yourself, you will give them "special training"!
Gu Qingcheng abandoned his distracting thoughts, and besides studying and doing housework every day, he also studied swordsmanship with Nie Chengfeng.
Gu Qingcheng was smart enough and hardworking enough. In less than a month, he had mastered the basic skills.
Nie Chengfeng initially taught Gu Qingcheng a little girl carefully because of the "grace of knowledge" of the Gu family.
However, after seeing Gu Qingcheng's hard work and talent with his own eyes, he couldn't help but develop a love for talent.
After much hesitation, Nie Chengfeng handed over his last trump card——
"One of my ancestors became a Taoist priest."
"They developed a set of breathing and breathing methods based on Taoist martial arts."
"This method of breathing and breathing, combined with swordsmanship, has extraordinary miraculous effects!"
Nie Chengfeng dismissed the people around him and went to the beach with Gu Qingcheng alone.
He looked solemn, as if he was telling a great secret.
Gu Qingcheng:...Internal strength? Could it be the legendary internal strength?
Huh?
What legend? What is internal strength?
Pick leaves and flowers!
Hunting cattle across the mountain!
The sword energy is like a rainbow!
There were some specious words and some vague pictures in Gu Qingcheng's mind.
Gu Qingcheng only knew that these existed, but did not know what they were or how they came from.
"This system is really stingy!"
"So many obstacles have been set up to protect me!"
Gu Qingcheng secretly complained.
"Now, my teacher is willing to teach you this method of breathing and breathing. Are you willing?"
Nie Chengfeng looked into Gu Qingcheng's eyes steadily and asked very seriously.
"willing!"
Gu Qingcheng is not stupid, of course he knows the beauty of this breathing method (internal strength?).
Learning such a technique will not only make her strong and strong in martial arts, but it will also be of great benefit to her even when she enters the world of novels!
Gu Qingcheng had a hunch that the tasks he would encounter in the future might not be the same as before.
In the future, she may encounter more and more dangerous tasks.
Although the system has said that in the novel world, dying before completing the task will not affect the world.
At most, the corresponding points will be deducted.
However, when it comes to life and death, there is no harm in being more cautious.
Furthermore, Gu Qingcheng has not yet figured out the system's routines, and does not know whether his binding to it is a chance or a conspiracy.
...For various reasons, Gu Qingcheng felt that making herself stronger was the right way.
"Okay! From now on, I will teach you this method of breathing and breathing!"
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng was sincerely studying and had a very positive attitude, the last trace of hesitation in Nie Chengfeng's heart disappeared.
He started teaching.
Gu Qingcheng studied hard.
While Huoshui was watching, he thought silently: Hey, should we arrange a small world of martial arts or martial arts for Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven?
Oh, everything in the world is fine, the most important thing is to do it!
Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven is good. Every time she finishes a mission, she has to stay in this world for a long time.
She doesn't seem to be obsessed with those colorful, wonderful and enjoyable other worlds at all, which is obviously different from other executors.
Other executors wish they could stay in a small world every day.
In order to prevent them from becoming "addicted", the system sets a cooling time and forces the executors to "disconnect from the Internet".
But as for Gu Qingcheng, haha, every cooling time is almost turning into freezing time, but she still doesn't care.
Every morning, facing the first light from the sky, I sit cross-legged and breathe, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth on the seaside.
Study, practice swordsmanship, deal with all things in Wubao, and when you have a little leisure time, you also have to lead a group of guest girls or adopted orphans to practice!
Although Gu Qingcheng did not remember the novels, films and television works about special forces that he saw in a certain mission world, he had "common sense" about certain special training projects.
The basic formation allowed a group of eleven or twelve-year-old children to learn to behave in a uniform manner and follow orders and prohibitions.
Cross-country with heavy loads to exercise their physical strength and endurance;
Survive in the wild and hone their basic survival skills and unity;
There are also trainings such as obstacle running, diving, martial arts, horse riding, archery, etc., which are also conducted regularly.
When Gu Qingcheng trained these children, he also followed suit.
In the shortest possible time, Gu Qingcheng went from being a "sanniang" respected by a group of guest ladies to a comrade who shares the joys and sorrows.
Of course, Gu Qingcheng is the commander and will not just mingle with the soldiers.
He was majestic when he should be majestic, and cordial when he should be cordial. Gu Qingcheng knew the right measure very accurately.
After a special training, Gu Qingcheng's Women's Army began to take shape.
There are less than a hundred people in total, and their combat effectiveness is not weak at all.
Gu Qingcheng followed "common sense" again and began to lead his female soldiers to advance around Gu's Wubao - to suppress the bandits!
Bandits, bandits, pirates, horse bandits...
Lingnan is desolate and has been the "holy land of exile" for all dynasties.
The people who can be sent here are either very virtuous and powerful, or they are very evil.
It's no big deal that they are great sages and powerful people. After they came to Lingnan, they still had the world in mind and educated all people.
However, those traitors and evildoers could not bear the barbarism and poverty in Lingnan, so they fled from their places of exile one after another, either fleeing back to the interior or falling into the trap of bandits.
These people occupy the deep forests and hide in the water, which really brings disaster to the people around them.
What I didn't say was just one word - kill!
Not only can you train troops, but you can also capture trophies.
The key is that this land belongs to the Gu family and she, Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng will never allow anyone to do evil in his territory!
Aman and other guest girls had gone through difficult and boring training, and they were all exhausted.
After learning about Gu Qingcheng's plan, everyone screamed with excitement.
Suppressing bandits is great!
When they came to Luozhou, they were still children under ten years old, but they were willing to follow the Gu family's tribe to kill the enemy.
Now, they have all grown up and become stronger.
They have long been eager to fight independently and prove their abilities to Sanniang!
Gu Qingcheng had a plan, and the women's soldiers were thirsty for their swords, so a group of eleven and twelve-year-old children began their journey.
It was still "common sense". Gu Qingcheng started from the smallest village, trained his troops step by step, and improved bit by bit.
In less than three months, her female soldiers were expanded to 150 people.
Several small villages near Gu's Wubao were all wiped out.
Gu Qingcheng continues to expand.
In the eyes of many adults, she and her army of women may be just children playing house.
Even the governor of Luozhou heard the news and sighed behind his back: "Gong Youan is too doting on his children!"
She is just a little girl, but she is allowed to lead the troops in the war.
What kind of bandits are you trying to suppress?
Just like those slang people in the mountains.
With all this nonsense, where can you find the tranquility and elegance of a noble lady from a noble family?
The governor of Luozhou felt that his filter for girls from aristocratic families was shattered.
He even couldn't help it a few times and wanted to run to "remind" Gu Heng.
After all, he is the Gu family of Wu County, one of the three nobles in his life.
Duke You'an was a veteran of three dynasties and a former commander. Why did he indulge his granddaughter like this?
Gu Heng:...How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?
As an old fox who has been in court, he is a real boss in government affairs.
Gu Heng's venomous vision and keen observation are definitely top-notch beings.
If we talk about Gu Qingcheng three years ago, it just made Gu Heng feel that she was so smart that she was almost a monster, and she was a child prodigy that made him happy.
So after arriving in Lingnan, Gu Heng realized something through Gu Qingcheng's various behaviors.
"Oh, I wish I didn't have a male body."
Gu Heng looked at his little granddaughter sweating with a group of female soldiers on the school field, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If Aqing were a young man, Gu Heng would only be cautious but joyful.
It happened that she was a little girl, with such ambition at such a young age. Gu Heng was also happy, but there was worry and uneasiness in his happiness.
The world is inherently harsh on women.
Most of the women in history who were able to stand at the top did so because of their husbands or sons.
Their power and dignity are all based on others.
But it is too difficult to struggle on your own.
That is destined to be a road full of thorns.
As an old man who loves his granddaughter, Gu Heng doesn't want to see his granddaughter working so hard.
but--
"Get up at the third watch, go to bed at the fifth watch, practice martial arts, study, and never slack off!"
"Such a heart, such determination! As a close relative, how can we not feel pity?"
If your blood relatives are unwilling to help, but are obstructing you because of worldly things, do you deserve to be called an "elder"?
After much thought, Gu Heng wrote a letter to his son and daughter-in-law who were far away in the Northern Dynasties.
He told them his guess and decision.
Two months later, the letter was delivered to Gu Yi.
I originally thought it was a need for Lingnan or a new invention.
There was an expectant smile on Gu Yi's handsome face.
However, when he opened the letter and carefully read it word by line, he was stunned for a moment.
What did Dad write?
Handwriting is a familiar style to him, and it is also what my father is best at.
He also knew every word and sentence and could easily understand them.
But, why can't Gu Yi not understand when these things are put together?
"What orders do you have, sir?"
In this day and age, the respectful title for fathers is "Sir".
Even when she was a princess, Xiao had great respect for Gu Heng, her father-in-law.
Now, her family's fortune has been overturned, and Mrs. Xiao has changed from a eldest princess to a housewife, and she will only respect Gu Heng even more.
"..." Gu Yi was still confused and didn't know how to tell his wife.
He simply handed the letter to Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao glanced at her husband doubtfully, then lowered her eyes and began to read seriously.
Then, the stunned people became two.
I don't know how much time passed before Ms. Xiao said in a dry voice, "A Qing actually has such an ambition?"
Ms. Xiao definitely received the biggest impact. She is a princess, a true daughter of heaven.
Once upon a time, she was relatively close to that position, and she once had ambitions.
However, she still lost to the world.
Unexpectedly, more than twenty years later, Xiao's empire was gone, and her daughter went to...
"Okay! As expected of my daughter!"
Chen Jing took away the country from the Xiao royal family, and it will be Xiao's daughter who will take it back in the future.
This can be regarded as a good reincarnation in the way of heaven.
Gu Yi looked at his wife in shock and looked at each other. After a long time, he sighed: "This child~~"
"Alas, we failed to give her a good skin, and we already owe her a debt."
"Now that she has such ambitions, as parents, should we still hold her back?"
"Forget it! Just listen to Dad, let nature take its course, and do your best!"
Gu Qingcheng doesn't know the decision of her grandfather and parents, but she knows that she has the best relatives in the world...
PS: Dear friends, thank you again for your support last month! Hey, there will be an update in the morning, new stories, so stay tuned!
