1783 to the Frontier
Gu Xiaowan opened the brocade box, and saw that inside the brocade box, there was a green jadeite hairpin. The style was very unique, but it was also common. The rest were no different.
Gu Xiaowan looked at the hairpin and felt that Tan Yushu would give it to herself. There must be a secret, so she opened the brocade box to have a look, but there was still nothing. The only thing that cannot be removed is the hairpin in his hand.
"Sister, could there be something wrong with the hairpin?"
Gu Xiaowan thought of the jewelry that Qin Yuzhi gave her, most of which had hidden secrets inside, so she tried to move the hairpin. Sure enough, Gu Xiaowan discovered the mystery in the place where the head and tail of the hairpin meet.
She carefully unscrewed the hairpin, and sure enough, she found a note inside the hairpin.
"There is really something!" Gu Xiaoyi exclaimed.
Gu Xiaowan opened the note, and saw a few simple words written in it - I'm going to find Ning Ping.
Gu Xiaowan clenched her hands tightly, and the note in her palm was clenched into a ball.
She actually went to find Ning Ping!
"Sister, she... how could she do it?" Gu Xiaoyi was also stunned, this place is thousands of miles away from the frontier, she is a weak woman, how can she get there?
When Tan Yexing saw the words on the note, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.
"She went to find Gu Ningping!" Gu Xiaowan saw Tan Yexing's expression changed, and quickly explained: "Now that I know what she is doing, it will be easy, I will send someone to pick her up now!"
Tan Yexing shook his head: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"
"Blame you?" Gu Xiaowan was surprised: "What do you blame?"
"Hey, I won't hide it from you anymore!" Tan Yexing said quietly at this moment: "Your brother is in the army, something happened!"
"boom……"
Like a thunderbolt suddenly flashed on a sunny day, Gu Xiaowan was so startled that she couldn't even stand still, and her whole body swayed: "General Tan, you... what did you say?"
Deputy General Chen, who had been standing aside, said at this moment: "Princess Anping, we got news from the army a few days ago, because we knew that Gu Ningping was your younger brother, the general asked one more question, and only then did we learn that Gu Ningping is your younger brother. Brother, in a small battle, he was seriously injured!"
"Seriously injured?" Gu Xiaowan and Gu Xiaoyi exclaimed in unison, and the faces of the two sisters turned pale with fright: "How is he?"
"When the general got the news a few days ago, he knew that he hadn't woken up yet!" Deputy General Chen said.
Gu Xiaowan sat down in the chair in shock, but could not hear other words.
No wonder, no wonder!
No wonder there was no news from Ningping during these days. It turned out that he was seriously injured. It took more than a month to travel from the border to the capital. It took more than two months to go back and forth. I am afraid that Ning Ping was injured after being sent to the hospital. This delay means that there has been no news for several months!
"Yu Shu must have heard our conversation and knew about Brother Ling's situation!" Tan Yexing said in a deep voice.
Gu Xiaowan was so startled by Tan Yushu's disappearance that she couldn't sleep at night, but now that she heard the news that Gu Ningping was seriously injured, she felt a pain like scratching her ears and scratching her heart.
"General Tan, since I know where Yushu has gone, I'm going to the frontier now!" Gu Xiaowan said firmly.
After Tan Yexing heard this, he raised his head in shock and saw Gu Xiaowan's firm expression: "The border is thousands of miles away from here, and it takes more than two months to go back and forth. Are you really going?"
She is a weak woman, how can she endure the bumpy road and the wind and sand along the way?
"If Yushu can go, so can I! General Tan, please prepare a map for me as soon as possible, I'll pack up and set off right away!"
Tan Yexing saw that she had to go, so he said: "Well, I will send you some people to follow you all the way! Yushu often walks this way back and forth, so she is very familiar with it. You have never been there before, so bring a few more people with you. ! If you find the jade book, please send Feige the book to me, so that I can rest assured!"
"Don't worry, General Tan, I'm going to prepare things now, and we will gather at the city gate in the future!"
When packing up, Gu Xiaoyi said whatever she wanted to go with her: "Sister, I want to go with you, whatever I say I want to go together! Brother was seriously injured, I'm worried about him!"
Gu Xiaowan was also anxious to death, but she pretended to be calm: "There is no news from over there, which means that Ning Ping is fine now, so don't panic, wait for me at home, I got the news , will tell you as soon as possible!"
"Sister, I want to go too! It's such a long way, why do you go alone? I will go with you, and you will stand in front of me and this family in everything. When I grow up, I can do it too. I will relieve your worries!" Seeing that her sister did not agree to go by herself, Gu Xiaoyi burst into tears.
Gu Xiaowantan sighed, stepped forward and took Gu Xiaoyi's hand, and said softly: "Xiaoyi, it's a long way to go to the frontier, I don't know when I can come back. You are in the capital, take care of this home for me, look after it Our shop, when I come back, is to help my sister, do you know? I still have Zuo Ahmad with me, and I also bring the old subordinates given by General Tan. This trip will definitely be fine, just will Get tired. I'm busy outside, and you are busy inside. Let's do our own work for this family, okay?"
Gu Xiaowan said softly.
There is a faint judgment in her heart, no news from Gu Ningping's side is the best news.
Gu Xiaoyi then nodded: "Sister, you must take good care of yourself when you are outside, you know? Brother, if you get news, tell me quickly, I won't worry, okay?"
"Okay, my sister must
Will do! You and your aunt are at home, guard your home and keep an eye on the shop. When the time comes, my sister will bring you good news, and you will bring good news to my sister. Let's work hard together for this family! "
Gu Xiaowan said earnestly, the two sisters hugged each other and separated after a long time.
Because the news of Gu Xiaowan's departure couldn't be kept secret, Gu Xiaowan still wanted to tell Gu Fangxi before she planned to leave, but she said she was going to find someone outside, but she didn't say who she was looking for, and she didn't disclose the news of Gu Ningping's injury at all.
