Chapter 483 Success (one more)

Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng entered the prefectural mansion in the afternoon, but they did not see the prefecture come back until the evening.

Master Hu asked the kitchen to cook dinner, and he personally brought it over.

Gu Chengfeng was on Gu Jiao's side, and Master Hu also brought the food to this room.

At this time, Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng both took off their face masks. When they saw Gu Chengfeng, Master Hu only felt that this adult really had a good appearance, that is, he was too young. How could the Queen Mother line up such a young man? Are you born with a border fortress?

Then he saw Gu Jiao on the side.

Master Hu was directly stunned by the birthmark on Gu Jiao’s face. Is the court so careless in employing people?

Gu Chengfeng had a full view of Master Hu’s reaction. When Master Hu looked at him, he didn't care, but Master Hu stared at Gu Jiao with this strange gaze, making him angry for no reason.

His expression cooled down: ”Is there anything wrong with Master Hu?”

”Ah! No, no!” Master Hu instantly regained consciousness and noticed the other party's displeasure. He hurriedly smiled, holding the tray two steps forward and said, ”Two adults, this is dinner. You put it here.”

As he said, he placed the tray respectfully on the table in front of the two of them.

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Jiao have gone all the way. There are not many days when they are sleeping and sleeping. They have gone through rich cities and barren towns. The farther they go north, the colder the weather, and the harder the people’s lives seem to be.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that the food in the dignified prefect’s mansion would be so bad!

Is the biggest local official anyhow!

Gu Chengfeng looked at the miserable miscellaneous grain Wowotou in the bowl, as well as two hard-boiled eggs and a plate of pickles, dumbfounded.

Appearing to perceive Gu Chengfeng’s doubts, Master Hu smiled awkwardly, and said, “The frontier fortress is a bitter and cold place, and it’s not better than the capital. I hope the two adults will bear it.”

”Is even the prefecture so poor?”

Gu Chengfeng couldn't help asking.

Isn’t there a saying among the folks that there are 100,000 snowflake silvers in the three years of the Qing prefecture?

There are only poor people in the world. Where are the poor officials?

Master Hu lowered his head and sighed helplessly: ”The two adults don't know, Yuegu City is poor, and the people can't eat enough. The prefect is born in a poor family and loves the people like his son. His salary is used to help the victims. On weekdays The common people eat whatever they eat. Today, to entertain the two adults, he found out the eggs and pickles that they were willing to eat during the Chinese New Year. There is meat in the pickles.”

The last sentence is the finishing touch.

Gu Chengfeng's mouth twitched, there is meat here?

The kind of diced meat?

What did he think of, Gu Chengfeng asked: ”The imperial court allocates funds to the frontier fortresses every year. Where did it go?”

Master Hu sighed faintly again: ”Our Yue Ancient City is just a small city, and the funds allocated are not much, and all of them have been used out. The prefect does not take a cent from the people, nor a cent from the court.”

Gu Chengfeng was silent.

Forget it, he is a thief, what does he care about the people’s livelihood in this world?

The purpose of his trip is to rescue his grandfather, and the others are irrelevant to him.

Master Hu said in a discreet manner: ”Two adults, please take your time, the younger one has stepped back.”

”Hmm.” Gu Chengfeng waved his hand lightly.

After Master Hu went out, Gu Chengfeng picked up a wowotou casually. It was estimated to be hot when it came out of the pot, but the time he brought it was cold and stiff as a stone.

Gu Chengfeng took a bite, and it was so unpleasant that he frowned. He said to Gu Jiao: ”If Princess Ning'an had known that she would be married to such a place, she was afraid she would not come here?”

”I don't know.” Gu Jiao said.

Gu Chengfeng curled his mouth in disgust, and there was always a way to kill the sky.

He was disgusted on the face, but he was very careful when he pitied Gu Jiao.

He peeled off the air-dried skin and put it in his bowl. The hot and soft core inside was placed in Gu Jiao's bowl. The pickles had been carefully selected for a long time, and the diced pork inside was picked out and given to Gu Jiao.

He was not so natural from the beginning. The first time was in the first station after he left Beijing. At that time, the food was pretty good. They actually ate a plate of shrimps. He took care of his younger brother and got used to it. Just stripped one to Gu Jiao.

Waiting to put it on Gu Jiao's plate did he notice something wrong.

Gu Jiao is not his brother or sister, he does not admit it!

The most embarrassing thing is not that he peeled the shrimps for Gu Jiao in a passionate manner, but in case Gu Jiao suddenly said, ”Why are you so good to me”.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiao didn't say a word, and didn't even raise her eyelids, as if this kind of behavior was not out of the ordinary and it didn't matter.

This made Gu Chengfeng a sigh of relief.

After that, he unconsciously did similar things several times, and she always accepted it indifferently, and if he didn't do it, she wouldn't ask him why he didn't do it.

Gu Chengfeng felt that this girl is not difficult to get along with.

Or rather, it’s easy to get along with.

Gu Jinyu in   's mansion is not so easy to get along with. Gu Jinyu is too fragile and needs someone to take care of it all the time, otherwise she will be sad and cry.

Gu Jiao will not, she will only make others cry.

After eating, Gu Chengfeng said to Gu Jiao: ”I am going to Yecheng to save my grandfather tomorrow, what are your plans?”

The remnants of the former dynasty were stationed in Yecheng, and his grandfather and Princess Ning'an were also arrested there.

Ye City is the most heavily guarded of the three cities. It has not only the remnants of the previous dynasty, but also the army of Chen, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. He wants to rescue his grandfather by himself, but the outcome is actually very small.

But he had to do this. It was his grandfather. Even if Yecheng was a sea of ​​swords and flames, he had to break through.

Gu Chengfeng suddenly remembered Gu Jiao’s purpose of coming to the border fortress, and asked her: ”You said your brother was also arrested, won’t he also be in Yecheng?”

”Not here.” Gu Jiao said.

Gu Chengfeng’s expression loosened: “It’s fine if you are not in Yecheng. Yecheng’s situation is the most complicated. Don’t act arbitrarily. Wait until I go to Yecheng to rescue your grandfather, and then go with you to save your brother.”

Gu Jiao took a sip of water with sand, and said slowly, ”Okay.”

Princess Ning'an and Old Houye were secretly transferred a long time ago. At this time, they were not in Yecheng at all. Yecheng was an empty nest that had to worry about Chengfeng's demise.

After Gu Chengfeng returned to the house, Gu Jiao also stopped.

In the middle of the night, she heard a very slight movement from the roof, her ears moved and her eyes coldly opened.

In that dream, Gu Chengfeng lived in an inn. He was drugged the first night, which caused him to suddenly lose all his power when he went to Yecheng to save people the next day, and fell into the other party’s trap.

It seems that the defense of the prefectural palace is not very effective, and it is time to come.
