Jiang Segu felt his brain was like a mushy mess the more he thought about it, and in the end, he couldn't make anything out of it all.
"I have already sent people to investigate Wu Feitao, but I don't have enough manpower right now, so I'm afraid it won't be long before I find any clues."
He was no longer under the command of General Weiyuan, so he had no authority to move the people in the military camp. Today, when he asked Chunsheng and his men to investigate those matters, General Weiyuan was quite angry and summoned Chunsheng and his men back to the military camp.
The man who went to Baoding had to plead with the military camp for a long time before General Weiyuan agreed to let him return to camp after he finished his business.
Only Wen Dong voluntarily gave up her military service and stayed by his side.
There was also the military doctor, who did not belong to the Northwest Army, so naturally he did not need to return to camp.
Jiang Segu, unaware of the reason, looked embarrassed.
He was suspicious of everything, yet he managed to get so many people around him that he had no one left to rely on.
That's really unfair!
But she was truly afraid... afraid that she would misjudge someone again...
Let's wait a little longer!
If nothing happens in Baoding... and if he doesn't take action against the Yin family at this critical juncture, she will tentatively believe the man in front of her!
If he takes the opportunity to severely damage the Yin family, at least his three uncles are still alive and can protect the Yin family from repeating the same mistakes!
Jiang Segu stood up. "Thank you for saving me, General Gu. If you ever encounter any trouble, I will do everything in my power to help you!"
After saying this, he was about to respectfully bow to Gu Songhan.
Gu Songhan grabbed her raised wrist and said, "I never helped you out of gratitude, I just wanted peace of mind!"
Jiang Segu was stunned.
Where her wrist was held, a domineering, burning heat unique to men seeped into her skin, coursing through her body and throwing her into a frenzy, leaving her completely bewildered and unsure how to react.
Gu Songhan was the first to withdraw his hand, placing his fist behind his back, and coughed lightly, "I'm no longer a general. His Majesty has ordered me to take up a post in the North City."
Jiang Segu's mind was still a little confused, so she could only nod to show that she understood.
Seeing her bewildered and charmingly dazed expression, Gu Songhan clenched his fist and, for some reason, said, "Temporarily assume the position of Commander of the Northern City Military Command!"
It seemed to carry a hint of showing off.
Back then, he was bullied in the North City, and the little girl told him to live a decent life before taking revenge!
Now, it seems the little girl's words have come true!
Seeing that the young girl showed no respect, Gu Songhan awkwardly changed the subject, "There is a General Rong in the Northwest Army. He is over fifty years old this year. I don't think he is the person that Miss Jiang is looking for! I have also ordered someone to bring General Rong's grandson here. He will be able to enter the capital in a few days."
"Qiaolian told me! May I ask the general... may I ask the commander..."
"Gu Songhan, that's my name! Miss Jiang, you may call me by my name!"
Jiang Segu was surprised.
How could she possibly call him by his name!
She's not his elder!
"Please address me as Young Master Gu! May I ask if Young Master Gu knows the name of General Rong's grandson?"
Gu Songhan felt a little disappointed, and also had a feeling like he had eaten a sour cucumber.
Seeing that he did not answer, Jiang Segu assumed that he did not know. "Since General... Young Master Gu does not know, I will wait for him to arrive before asking him!"
Gu Songhan felt a pang of jealousy!
The young girl must have come to his door to see him; it couldn't be for someone else!
“Rong Dian. His name is Rong Dian, not Rong Ding!”
Gu Songhan spoke slowly and deliberately, afraid that Jiang Segu might misunderstand.
Rongdian?
Rongding...
Could Rongding be a courtesy name?
According to our dynasty's regulations, a man could take a courtesy name upon reaching adulthood...
Thinking of this, a faint smile rippled in Jiang Segu's bright eyes, making her small face appear as delicate and beautiful as a blooming flower.
"Does Young Master Gu know how old Young Master Rong is?"
Gu Songhan didn't want to admit that he was petty, but when he saw Jiang Segu's different attitudes towards him and Rong Dian, whom he had never met, his face turned dark and green!
Asking about age before even meeting the person?
Is the next step to match birth dates and choose an auspicious date?
However, thinking of the information he had found out, Gu Songhan generously answered "seventeen..." and provided another piece of information, "I heard that he is engaged to a girl in his hometown, and his trip to the capital is also to ask General Rong to help arrange the wedding."
Jiang Segu was taken aback.
General Rongding remained single and never married.
Could it be that... Rongdian is not Rongding?
The smile on her face was like peeling paint, slowly crumbling away.
Seeing this, Gu Songhan did not feel the expected joy; instead, he felt increasingly annoyed.
"It's getting late, I should head back now!"
After walking a few steps, he added, "Since this matter has nothing to do with the Song family, I will suppress the rumors to avoid upsetting the Song family and causing further trouble."
Jiang Segu's lips moved slightly, but before he could speak, the person in front of him disappeared!
She gazed at the dark horizon in the distance, her eyes filled with heavy worries.
While he was certain that the Song family wouldn't do anything to him, Wu Feitao was an exception!
Hopefully, Young Master Gu can find out Wu Feitao's purpose soon...
***
As the sun rose, Gu Songhan arrived at the Northern City Military Command to begin his duties.
Those who could make a living in the Five Cities Garrison were all from wealthy or noble families.
When someone with no connections suddenly appears, naturally some people will be dissatisfied.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Songhan entered the North City Military Command, he clearly felt the ill-intentioned gazes around him.
Some even went directly to him, challenging him to a one-on-one duel.
This person had an ordinary appearance, with deep-set eyes and a hooked nose. When he looked at people, he had a gloomy look about him.
