In the carriage, laughter and laughter could be heard one after another.
The maid sitting on Gu's left smiled sweetly and said, "Madam, I dreamed that you gave birth to a son last night."
Mrs. Gu chuckled and said, "Lu'er, your mouth is so sweet."
The maid sitting on Gu's right side immediately said: "Madam, what Sister Lu'er said must be true. If you worship the Buddha every day and do good deeds every day, the Buddha will definitely bless you with a fat boy."
"Okay, I accept your good advice."
Mrs. Gu reached out and touched her belly, hoping that it was a boy inside.
Zhou Shi dotes on her extremely, but when a woman eventually becomes old and loses her luster, if she cannot give birth to a boy and the Zhou family's bloodline cannot be passed on, Zhou Shi will definitely take concubines. Only by Gu's support for Zhou Shi can this be guaranteed.
His status was unshakable. Mrs. Gu took her two maids to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, just to get a boy.
The horse-drawn carriage drove farther and farther away.
When the carriage reached a remote mountain road, it suddenly stopped.
The carriage stopped and shook several times.
The maid on Gu's left had a sullen face and shouted sweetly: "Madam is pregnant and can't bear the bumps. How do you drive? If Madam has any physical discomfort, can you afford it?"
The groom said intermittently: "Mountain...bandits, there are...there are bandits!"
When the maid heard this, her face turned extremely ugly.
A trace of panic flashed in Gu's eyes, but she was still calm and did not lose her composure because of the bandit. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked around, and saw that the mountain road was surrounded by black heads, and there were enough
There were nearly a hundred people. There was one person who looked strong and strong, giving off a sharp-edged appearance. He was obviously the leader of the bandits.
This person was none other than Zhou Tai, who led nearly a hundred people to surround Gu.
Jiang Qin led 300 soldiers to cut off the front and rear ends of the mountain road to prevent anyone from discovering Zhou Taijie Road.
Gu's face was slightly pale, she held the skirt of her skirt with both hands, took a deep breath, tried her best to stay calm, and said: "All heroes and good men, you are only blocking the way to ask for money. Please hold your hands high, I am willing to give you a thousand pieces of gold."
.”
Knowing that she couldn't run away, Mrs. Gu wanted to use money to ward off the disaster, but she found the wrong person.
Zhou Tai is not short of money, but he is short of people.
Zhou Tai shook his head and said: "Mrs. Zhou, I don't ask for money. I just want to invite Mrs. Zhou to live in the mountains. Please rest assured, Mrs. Zhou, we have no ill intentions. Mrs. Zhou is pregnant. I hope Mrs. Zhou can cooperate. Don't
It hurts the child in the belly. When County Magistrate Zhou comes, Mrs. Zhou will be asked to leave, and so will Magistrate Zhou."
Mrs. Gu's eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that it was directed at her husband.
At this time, Mrs. Gu actually calmed down.
Gu's mind turned and she said simply: "In that case, please ask a good man to lead the way. However, I only need one maid by my side. Let the other one report the news."
Zhou Tai shook his head and said, "No need, I will send someone to notify Magistrate Zhou."
Zhou Tai waved his hand, and a soldier drove the car in person, taking Gu family towards the mountains.
…
Prefect's Mansion, in the study.
When Zhou Shi was handling government affairs, the old housekeeper hurriedly walked in with a letter in his hand. The old housekeeper handed the letter to Zhou Shi and said: "Master, someone just sent a letter to the concierge, asking you to personally
reading."
Zhou Shi took the letter and his face changed drastically when he saw the content in the letter.
"boom!"
Zhou Shi pressed the letter on the desk and asked, "Where is the person who sent the letter? Is he still outside the house?"
The old housekeeper shook his head and said: "No, I don't know where it went."
Zhou Shi ordered: "Prepare the carriage, I want to leave the city."
The old housekeeper was very puzzled and asked hurriedly: "Master, what happened?"
Zhou Shi looked serious and said in a cold voice: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Just prepare the carriage. I'll drive out of the city to do things by myself. Remember, don't spread the news that I'm out of town to do things. If you have other things, wait until I come back."
Post-processing.”
"yes!"
The old housekeeper didn't ask any further questions and immediately prepared a carriage for Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi angrily burned the letter in his hand and said in a deep voice: "No matter who you are, if my wife has any shortcomings, I and you will not be in harmony."
As he spoke, Zhou Shi left the study, went straight out of the county house, and drove to the designated location outside the city.
An hour later, Zhou Shi drove to the location where Gu was robbed.
As soon as the carriage arrived, Zhou Tai sent someone to take Zhou Shi to the mountains. After Zhou Shi saw Zhou Tai, he was not polite and said directly: "Where is my wife? I want to see my wife."
Zhou Taichao ordered the soldiers beside him: "Take him there!"
The soldiers took Zhou Shi to see Gu. About half a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Shi was taken to the thatched cottage by the soldiers.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu was safe and sound, Zhou Shi felt relieved.
He looked at Zhou Tai and asked, "May I ask who you are and what business you have with me?"
Zhou Tai said in a deep voice: "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Zhou, my first name is Tai, and my given name is Youping. Speaking of which, I am the same family as County Magistrate Zhou. Today, I invited Magistrate Zhou to the mountain to discuss a major matter with Magistrate Zhou.
.”
"Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai!!"
After Zhou Shi murmured twice, his eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed: "Are you Zhou Tai, the deputy commander of the navy of Shu?"
"Yes, I am."
Zhou Tai said in a deep voice: "County Magistrate Zhou is a smart man. After guessing my identity, he can definitely guess my purpose. The purpose of inviting Magistrate Zhou to come this time is to make Magistrate Zhou surrender to the King of Shu and become the King of Shu."
How effective is it, I wonder what Zhou County Magistrate’s intention is?”
Zhou Shi smiled bitterly and said: "I am just a small county magistrate, but I have the deputy commander of the Navy of Shu come here in person. I'm afraid things are not that simple!" It is obviously impossible for Zhou Shi to become the head of a county from a down-and-out scholar.
Relying on his own knowledge and more importantly his own ability, Zhou Tai must have something important to do when he comes in person.
Zhou Tai nodded and said: "What County Magistrate Zhou said is right, there is indeed something important. Magistrate Zhou surrendered to the Queen of Shu. Firstly, there is no need for Magistrate Zhou to charge into the battle. Secondly, there is no need for Magistrate Zhou to announce his submission with great fanfare. Thirdly, there is no need for Magistrate Zhou to declare his submission with great fanfare.
Ling went to work as an undercover agent next to Sun Quan. As long as Magistrate Zhou maintains the status quo in Poyang County, and waits for Lu Su to send people to requisition grain, it will be fine. When Yuzhang County is captured, Magistrate Zhou will declare his surrender to Shu. What do you think?
?”
Zhou Shi pondered for a while and said, "My wife is in the hands of Governor Zhou, can you not agree to it?"
In fact, when Zhou Shi met Gu, he learned some information from Gu. The difference was that Gu did not know Zhou Tai's identity or the specific details. He only knew that Zhou Tai was a general of the Shu army.
Although the Gu family was a female, she knew that the Shu army was difficult to stop and that it would be a matter of time to capture Yuzhang County, so she persuaded Zhou Shi to surrender.
When Zhou Shi learned that the Shu army was recruiting troops to surrender, he had an idea in his mind.
Zhou Tailiang made his intention clear, and Zhou Shi agreed.
"County Magistrate Zhou is very happy. Since Magistrate Zhou agreed, we will continue to serve as county magistrate according to our established affairs and wait for Lu Su to send people to collect grain." Zhou Tai laughed and was quite excited.
Zhou Shi asked: "Captain Zhou, my wife is pregnant, this..."
Zhou Tai said simply: "When you leave, take Mrs. Zhou directly away. I believe that County Magistrate Zhou is a smart man and will not do anything that is unfavorable to him. Magistrate Zhou cooperates well and everything will be easy. If Zhou
No matter what little tricks the county magistrate makes, your wife will not be safe whether she is in the county or in the capital of Wu State. Therefore, I ask you to take Mrs. Zhou back to avoid affecting the children."
Zhou Shi said gratefully: "Thank you, Governor Zhou, thank you Governor Zhou."
Zhou Shi was delighted by Zhou Tai's generosity. He did not expect Zhou Tai to be so easy to talk to. However, Zhou Shi also knew that if he did not cooperate with the Shu army, he would be more vulnerable to attacks.
However, Zhou Shi had already made up his mind to submit to Shu, and there were no other problems.
Ps: The third update is completed. I will continue to pay off my debts tonight. The update time is uncertain.
