Chapter 492: 250 Sister Control (Update 1)_2 Chapter 492: 250 Sister Control (Update 1)_2 “Of course.” Gu Changqing said calmly.
Guards around were startled, wondering if it was okay for this general to lie so blatantly.
The general of Tiger Mountain Camp was infamous for his indifference. It would be more challenging than reaching the sky for a small bodyguard like Zhou Erzhuang to request a leave, unless he didn’t want to work in the military camp anymore, else he would be demoted after his return.
Gu Changqing stretched out his hand: “Give it to , you go back first, I will convey the ssage to him.”
Gu Jiao thought for a while: “Okay. Have him visit the dical Hall before he goes back, I have so stuff to send back.”
Gu Changqing agreed, took the letter, and watched Gu Jiao get on the horse carriage before he turned and entered the camp.
General Hu was neither a subordinate nor senior to him; he was under General Ran’s command, whereas General Hu was under General Qin.
He didn’t have much private interaction with General Qin and General Hu normally.
After a mont’s hesitation, he still went to General Hu’s barracks and ntioned Zhou Erzhuang’s matter, “…my sister and his sister-in-law are old acquaintances.”
He also explained why he had helped Zhou Erzhuang several tis.
It finally dawned on General Hu why Zhou Erzhuang could trouble the heir to the Marquis Residence to deliver his things. So, there was such a connection.
Zhou Erzhuang was a country bumpkin, so were his brother and sister-in-law. Their old acquaintances should also be from the countryside.
General Hu had heard that the daughter of the Marquis Residence was swapped at birth and grew up among commoners, and it must be her.
He didn’t elaborate too much on family affairs, and General Hu also knew to not dig further. He smiled and said: “The lad has been following for several years enduring a lot of hardship. He is brave and ticulous, and has achieved rits. On a mission to deliver a letter to Youzhou, he even refrained from entering his ho to avoid delaying the military intelligence… It’s about ti he got a break.”
This statent was sowhat exaggerated.
While Zhou Erzhuang’s bearing hardship and bravery were real, his refrain from entering his ho was a bit of a stretch.
He actually took the water route to Youzhou and bypassed, the distance was over a hundred li from Qingquan Village.
Gu Changqing clearly saw through those words but chose not to expose them: “Since my sister asked, I will trouble General Hu.”
The prince ntioned his sister three tis in the conversation, keeping her always on his lips. Were their feelings so good?
Did he grow up in the countryside and hadn’t seen her much, right?
Gu Changqing was famously cold in the military camp, never heard him ntion any family mbers, including his two siblings and the well-known daughter from his ho.
It was believed he didn’t like his siblings, but look at him ntioning his sister, his eyes had softened.
General Hu touched his nose.
It was indeed a strange day.
However, despite not often interacting with others, the heir had co to him willingly, which amazed General Hu. Today’s event ant Gu Changqing owed him a favor.
As for the general’s issue, he had a fitting reason.
The next day, Zhou Erzhuang packed his belongings and went to the dical Hall.
“Excuse , is Mistress Gu Jiao here?”
He asked Shopkeeper Wang.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at Gu Jiao, who was inspecting the dicine cabinet, and said, “Miss Gu, soone is looking for you!”
“These herbs are a bit damp, take them out for drying.” After instructing the dicine boy, Gu Jiao turned towards the counter, “Who is looking for ?”
Shopkeeper Wang pointed at Zhou Erzhuang.
Zhou Erzhuang stared at Gu Jiao in astonishnt.
This… this… is this… Jiao?
She’s different from his mory!
Even though Xue Ningxiang repeatedly emphasized in her letter that Gu Jiao’s illness was cured and she was a normal girl now, Zhou Erzhuang still couldn’t reconcile the young girl in front of him with the silly girl from his mory.
It was indeed… a vast difference.
The only characteristic that hadn’t changed was probably the birthmark on her face.
“Zhou Erzhuang?” Gu Jiao guessed the identity of the other party.
“Ah, yes! I am Erzhuang!” Zhou Erzhuang awkwardly gathered himself, he had learned to behave from being with General Hu. Staring at her like this was impolite.
Fortunately, Gu Jiao didn’t mind. She glanced at the burden on his back, “Are you about to set off?”
Zhou Erzhuang said: “Yes, General Hu has just assigned a mission to hand deliver a letter to General Lu in Youzhou. General Hu allowed to visit ho after I complete the task.”
That sounded great.
This was an execution of a mission with a side trip to ho. Better than simply taking leave.
Gu Jiao wasn’t aware that this was the result of Gu Changqing’s diation, she said to Zhou Erzhuang: “Wait a mont, I have so things for you to take back.”
