"Sanniang, Sanniang, there are many knights outside. They want to escort us to Lingnan."
"Those knights said they heard about the deeds of the Minister of the Central Secretariat and were deeply moved, so they took action out of righteousness!"
"...Although these people came from humble backgrounds, they were all chivalrous and courageous."
The maids were busy coming in and out, chattering about this all the time.
Gu Qingcheng listened with a smile, "They are all chivalrous men!" But they are also smarter.
Gu Qingcheng admitted that her heart was far less simple and innocent than those little maids.
When she thinks about things, she thinks about both the good and the bad.
Take the case of Youxiaer for example.
When the little maid heard the knights gathered outside and shouted, "Lord You'an is a loyal and honest man who was exiled for crying out for justice. We have come here to escort him," she would definitely be overwhelmed with emotion and grateful.
They were proud of their master's loyalty and good reputation, which spread throughout the world, and even the knights in the market came to help.
They also thanked Youxiaer for his loyalty and courage.
As for Gu Qingcheng, she would indeed think of what the little maid had thought of, but she would also think of -
These rangers must have their own little thoughts for standing up.
Gu Heng, also known as Gu Youan, was a son of the Wujun Gu family and the Minister of the Central Secretariat of the Southern Dynasties. He became famous at a young age and was well-known both at home and abroad!
Now he has been framed and exiled to Lingnan. If he encounters another setback during his exile, his name will surely go down in history.
At this time, if he had knights protecting him, these loyal and brave knights could also be called "righteous men".
If you don't handle it well, it will be recorded in history books.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were so many heroes whose stories were praised by later generations for many years.
But he is a definite success story and the idol that Youxiaer always thinks of.
Troublemaker: ...This is the person who is in charge of government affairs. His heart is not only dirty, but also extremely complicated.
"Since these righteous men have come to help, my Gu family cannot treat them unfairly!"
Gu Qingcheng directly defined these knights who were willing to escort her as "righteous men" and praised them highly.
"Bring a few jars of wine from the cellar, and set aside a leg of beef to cook, and send it to the front yard along with the wine."
Gu Qingcheng originally wanted to make all the meat in the house into jerky and pickled meat.
But, now that the "helper" has come, she can't let him work for nothing.
Moreover, the grandparents and grandchildren are about to leave Jiankang, so they cannot leave in a sad and miserable way, but must do so in a grand and glorious way!
…
In the front yard, Gu Heng warmly greeted a dozen rangers and turned to wink at the steward beside him.
The steward understood and hurried back to the inner courtyard to pass on the message.
As a result, he didn't need to remind her at all. Gu Qingcheng, who was less than six years old, handled everything.
"Wine! Copper-cauldron beef!"
The steward saw the hot soup bubbling in the huge bronze tripod, and the thinly sliced beef rolling in the hot soup.
The fragrance is very novel. The managers of the Gu family are basically family-born sons from several generations ago, and they have more knowledge than ordinary officials.
But he still had never smelled anything like it.
"Is this a new idea that Sanniang came up with?"
The steward sniffed and asked with a smile.
"I guess so."
Gu Qingcheng answered vaguely.
She referred to the recipe of the copper hot pot she ate in the novel world and instructed the cook to make the pot base.
In addition, she also learned that many medicinal herbs can be used as seasonings.
But these are minor paths, nothing surprising.
"Sanniang is really capable!"
The steward exclaimed in admiration and ordered his servants to carry the huge bronze tripod to the front yard.
Gu Heng: ...What a fast speed! Sanniang must have made arrangements in advance!
Alas, this child is so precocious that he is almost a demon. It seems that his appearance has been exchanged for his brain.
If possible, Gu Heng hopes that his granddaughter can be more balanced.
There is wine and a big pot of beef. Whether the host is welcoming or not can be seen by how attentively they treat you.
Anyway, these rangers felt the hospitality of the Gu family.
This is the aristocratic Gu family, a top-tier clan that even the royal family doesn't take seriously, but they treat these lowly knights as guests of honor.
For a moment, the blood rushed to their brains, and the knights deeply understood the saying "A gentleman will die for his friend".
They felt that their worthless lives were given to the Gu family.
Originally, there was still a little thought of seeking fame and reputation in my heart, but at this moment, all the messy thoughts were gone.
They had only one thought - even if it cost them their lives, they had to protect the safety of You'an's ancestors and grandchildren.
One knight, having drunk a few bowls of wine, patted his chest and said, "Lord You'an, we don't even need to go to Lingnan! If you give the order, we will take you out of the Southern Dynasty even if it costs us our lives!"
Gu Heng: ...Haha, if I was afraid of being exiled, I would have left with my children and grandchildren long ago. Why wait until now?
"No! The Holy Will cannot be violated."
Gu Heng looked serious and righteous.
The knights showed even more respect, and all stood up and bowed, "Lord You'an is truly loyal, righteous, and virtuous! How detestable are the treacherous officials in power!"
Gu Heng did not discuss state affairs with Youxiaer, but continued to warmly invite everyone to eat and drink.
Thanks to this group of knights, the Gu family gained another hour.
Zheng Mo and others didn't even come to urge them.
Zheng Mo knew these ruffians very well. They were now like a pile of dry firewood next to a fire.
The slightest spark and they'll catch fire!
Zheng Mo just wanted to send Gu Heng to Lingnan smoothly, but didn't want to get entangled with those desperate criminals.
Gu Qingcheng continued to be busy. She persuaded the doctors who had been employed by her family for a long time to leave their homes and careers and follow them to Lingnan.
It was soon afternoon, and if we didn't leave, it would be dark.
Gu Heng knew his limits and was willing to do Zheng Mo a favor. Without waiting for Zheng Mo to urge him, he took the initiative to say, "It's getting late. I should leave now!"
Gu Qingcheng was also fully prepared, leaving only two maids, Luqi and Jiaowei, by her side.
Gu Heng was accompanied by an old servant and his grandson.
Most of the Gu family's troops escorted Gu Yi, Princess Jiangling and others to the Southern Dynasty.
The remaining small group hid in the dark, trying to provide a secret escort.
This time there were more than a dozen rangers, which really helped the troops.
Moreover, the number of these wanderers increased as the Gu family's grandparents and grandchildren left the city.
People all like to join in the fun.
Those wanderers had nothing to do and just wandered around.
Now that they see their “companions” doing big things, and this big thing has no threshold or difficulty, they are actively joining in.
So, when Gu Qingcheng was sitting in the newly repaired ox cart and slowly leaving the capital, there was a long team of knights in different clothes on both sides of her ox cart.
Their number far exceeds Zheng Mo's Qianniu Guards.
Zheng Mo: ...These damn rangers, don't they have anything else to do? Why do they have to come and join in the fun?
