famous eldest daughter

Chapter 40 Wind Surge
After giving instructions to Kumquat and Luju in detail, when they left Tongyuan and returned to the east courtyard to wait for orders, Gu Yuqing also supported Jixiang and left the flower hall.

The wind was raging outside, and the branches were blown by the strong wind in the dark night. The swaying was particularly scary, like a monster with teeth and claws, trying to scare away the spirit.

In the second prince's residence, Xiao Duo stood by the window with his hands behind his back.

The diamond-shaped lattice windows were opened wide, and the strong wind poured in wantonly, blowing the white clothes of Xiaoduo Lake to flutter.

"Your Highness, it's going to rain heavily outside. Do you want to go tonight?" Through the window, Xiao Duo's personal guard Chang Shun frowned and glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, and said worriedly: "It seems that the rain is heavy. I’m afraid it’s even bigger than last night.”

After Chang Shun finished speaking, a bright bolt of lightning struck across the sky, and the white light illuminated Xiao Duo's face particularly clearly. Chang Shun saw the corner of Xiao Duo's lips curling into a smile that he was sure to win, and he suddenly sighed in his heart. Take a breath.

Although he was loyal to Xiao Duo, he really didn't want to go out in such weather.

I heard that someone was struck to death by lightning last night. The weather tonight is even worse than last night. If you are unlucky and get struck by lightning when you go out, what should you do? He hasn't married yet!
"What on earth is the "Peacock March" that His Highness values ​​​​so much?" Xiao Duo would rather go to Gu Mansion in the rain for a copy of the legendary "Peacock March", Changshun couldn't help but curiously asked.

Mentioning "Peacock March", Xiao Duo looked away from the window, turned around and walked towards the house, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Since Emperor Taizu fought in the country, the Gu family has produced brave generals capable of conquering wars for generations. In Gu Zhen's generation, there are already eight of them. This king does not believe that all the descendants of the Gu family are so invincible." On a grand master's chair Sitting down, taking a sip from a blue and white porcelain tea cup, Xiao Duo said with shining eyes.

"Your Highness thinks that the members of the Gu family were able to win the battle only because of this "Peacock Marching Military Strategies"?" Chang Shun felt unbelievable.

No matter how powerful a military book is, isn't there a saying that everything depends on man?If the generals of the Gu family were not really loyal and capable, they would not be able to win so many battles with just a military book.

However, Changshun naturally did not dare to reveal his thoughts in front of Xiao Duo.

Changshun is five years older than Xiao Duo. He has served Xiao Duo since he was a child. He has served Xiao Duo for sixteen years now, and he understands Xiao Duo's temperament best.

This master is vicious and vindictive, and he is extremely cold-blooded and does not care about old feelings.

If anyone dares to disobey him, that person will be unable to survive or die.

Following Chang Shun's words, Xiao Duo hummed and said, "That's natural. Rumor has it that the "Peacock Marching Strategy" was obtained by the ancestors of the Gu family from a Taoist priest. At that time, the ancestors of the Gu family led the troops to fight and were facing The whole army was in the dilemma of being wiped out. Ever since he got this military book, the head of the Gu family has been as invincible as having the help of heavenly soldiers and generals. He defeated the enemy camp in just three days. Do you think this "Peacock Marching Strategy" is powerful or not?"

Changshun followed Xiao Duo's thoughts and said with an exaggerated smile: "Oh my god! There is such a strange thing. This servant is really eye-opening. This "Peacock Marching Strategy" is too amazing."

Xiao Duo said proudly: "Yes, so I must get this book. Gu Zhen has no son, and now he is just a useless person who only knows how to seek immortality and medicine. Keeping this book in the Gu family is a waste of money." , only when you come to me is it worth the money.”

Changshun nodded in agreement, but then said doubtfully: "Your Highness and the Second Miss of the Gu family are so familiar with each other, why not just ask the Second Miss of the Gu family for it? If His Highness asks for it, the Second Miss of the Gu family will definitely give it to him with both hands."

He really didn't want to go out in this ghostly weather with lightning and thunder!
Changshun burst into tears at the thought of going out in the rain with Xiao Duo in the middle of the night, but at this moment, he was talking to Xiao Duo about topics he was interested in, and had to put on a smile on his face. Changshun felt that My heart is going to be twisted to death.

"Gu Yuhe is only ten years old, she can know what "Peacock Marching Strategy" is." Speaking of Gu Yuhe, Xiao Duo's tone was filled with undisguised contempt and disdain.

Xiao Duo deliberately got close to Gu Yuhe just to win over Gu Yuqing. In his eyes, Gu Yuhe was just a worm who relied on Gu Yuqing.

"What if I ask her directly, what if she spills the beans in front of Gu Yuqing? Gu Yuqing is not an ordinary person." Speaking of Gu Yuqing, Xiao Duo felt that the breath in his chest was not smooth.

Although he did not find any intentional flaws on Gu Yuqing's face, Gu Yuqing's words in front of his father today were like a stick with a thorn, which made him uneasy.

Although his father put all the blame for what happened today on He Wenyue, Xiao Duo understood that his father knew it in his heart.

Not punishing him was just for the royal family's sake, but it didn't mean that his father would spare him. The punishment he deserved, I was afraid that his father would find another excuse to give him. Coupled with Gu Yuqing's words, it only meant that I'm afraid his punishment won't be light!

A dark light flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Duo thought bitterly that when he became famous, he would make Gu Yuqing pay the price for his nonsense today.

Seeing Xiao Duo's expression change, Chang Shun pursed his lips and did not dare to speak anymore. For a moment, the room was extremely quiet, which was even more deafening against the rumbling thunder outside.

Standing beside Xiao Duo, Changshun looked at the lightning flashing outside from time to time, sighing again and again in his heart.

As midnight approached, the time agreed with Gu Yuhe finally arrived. Xiao Duo and Chang Shun plunged into the vast rainy night and headed straight for Gu's residence.

Having been here several times, Xiao Duo walked into the east courtyard of Gu Mansion with ease.

And...it seems to be going particularly smoothly all the way in today.

Probably because of the weather, Xiao Duo didn't think much. Standing on the porch, Xiao Duo raised his hand and clicked rhythmically on the window lattice that Gu Yuhe had left for him.

Hearing the sound, the kumquat and green chrysanthemum who had been guarding by the window trembled suddenly, and the two looked at each other for a while, holding their breath.

On Lu Ju's face, Jin Jue saw fear as thick as ink.

Jin Jue took Lu Ju's hand and felt her trembling hand was cold. "Don't be afraid. If you do this well, the eldest lady will give me a way out. Think about Aunt Zhao, we can't be tortured like her." Beat to death."

While soothing Lu Ju, she was even more encouraging herself.

Luju opened her big frightened eyes and nodded with a pale face, "I know, I'll try my best." She took a deep breath and said.

Jin Jue squeezed Jin Jue's hand hard, "It's not about effort, it's about necessity."

If the second prince discovers the clues, they will definitely die, so they have no way out and no second chance.

"For you, and for me." Although the panic in his heart was no less than that of Lu Ju, Jin gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down. He held Lu Ju's hand tightly and whispered, his voice extremely contagious.
