After being forced to marry the prince

The two ordered people to bury the bones on the side of the road for safety. After returning, they took out the map and asked the local people in southern Xinjiang to describe the surrounding situation in detail.

After listening to different people's descriptions of the place, Gu Baiji came to the conclusion that it might not be the most difficult thing to kill the bandits on this trip, but the mountain forests with many caves and miasma were the most difficult.

Once the gangster hides in, it will be like a fish in the sea, no matter how difficult it is to find, it is no wonder that the other party dares to be so rampant.

In the general's mansion, Chu Wu was teaching with Gu Nanshu drying herbs in the yard.

Gu Nanshu is very obedient, smart and serious, and has learned a lot of herbs.

Gu Nanshu would still look for Chu Wu when he left, but he didn't mention Gu Baiji leaving her.

It's not that she doesn't want to, but that Gu Baiji has left too many times, and every time someone tells her that what her brother is doing is very important.

Over time, Gu Nanshu also felt the solemn atmosphere from the serious expressions of others, and never asked her brother again.

The little guy is so sensible, but it makes Chu Wu feel distressed to see him. He loved him very much in the first place, but now he is even more considerate.

Knowing too many medicinal materials will inevitably be boring, so Chu Wu told Gu Nanshu some strange customs and customs in various places.

For example, somewhere there is a cave that goes down to the bottom, and in the cave lives Granny Shan with her hair dragging on the ground.Granny Shan is very fierce and will eat disobedient children.

If you are chased by Granny Shan, you can only run down and not up, because when you go down, Grandma Shan's hair will hang down to block her eyes, and the person chased by her will be safe.

After listening, Gu Nanshu didn't feel scared, but looked at Chu Wu thoughtfully, then lightly grabbed his hair and laughed, "Sister-in-law also has long hair, sister-in-law is not a mountain mother, but a fairy."

Chu Wu scratched her handmaiden amusedly, "Nan Shu is also a little fairy."

Then he talked about southern Xinjiang, where there are deep mountains and forests, there are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, and there is also a miasma that can make people stunned, and there are magical humans living in the miasma...

Gu Nanshu was very interested in listening, and pestered Chu Wu to listen more, until she was so sleepy that she fell asleep in his arms.

"My lord." Chen Siyao stepped forward and said, "Let the maid take the lady to bed to sleep!"

"Okay." Chu Wu nodded, and gently handed Gu Nanshu into her arms, "I'm sorry."

Chen Siyuan came out and saw Chu Wu still standing there motionless, thought for a while, stepped forward and asked, "Is there something on your mind?"

"It's rainy season in southern Xinjiang at this time, when snakes, insects, rats and ants are rampant." Chu Wudao, "I should have prepared more emergency medicines before."

"The prince has already prepared a lot." Chen Siyuan said, "Besides, there is only one person, the prince is too busy, and the prince has already given the prescription to the army doctor, the general and the others will be fine."

Chu Wu was still a little worried, "I'm afraid I don't have so much time to march and fight."

Chen Siyuan put the cloak next to him on him, poured him a cup of hot tea, and said: "No matter what, my lord, please take care of yourself, otherwise the general will be worried when he comes back."

Chu Wu shook his head, he didn't think about whether Gu Baiji would be worried, he looked at Chen Siyuan, and suddenly said: "Ma'am, you are the general's subordinate, so you don't need to treat yourself as a house boy."

"My lord?" Chen Siyuan was a little puzzled, "The servant girl was sent by the general to serve..."

"You weren't the general's maid before, were you?"

Gu Baiji said that the siblings of the Chen family came from quite unusual families, and they originally stayed by Gu Baiji's side to do things for him in order to repay the kindness of saving their lives, but they were later sent to the mansion by Gu Baiji to protect him.

Chen Siyuan was tall and slender, no matter how low-key she was, her temperament could not be concealed from others, and Chen Qifei's unrestrained temperament was not something that ordinary people could raise.

So from the time these two people came to him, Chu Wu never really regarded them as servants.

Hearing Chu Wu's question, Chen Siyao said: "The servant girl served the general before, but the general said that from now on, the servant girl only needs to take orders from the prince, and no one else including the general needs to take orders from him."

Chu Wu didn't expect that Gu Baiji would have such an order in private, and he felt warm, and said: "In this case, if you and Ah Qi don't dislike it, what was it like to be by the general's side before, and how to be by my side in the future. .”

When Chen Siyuan heard the words, she naturally had no reason to refuse, "The servant girl thanked the prince."

Chu Wu laughed: "In the future, this self-proclaiming can also be omitted."

"Yes." Chen Siyuan was also very hearty, "Don't worry, my lord, from now on, the two brothers and sisters of the slave family will definitely protect the lord comprehensively for the rest of their lives."

"Thank you in advance." Chu Wu said, then remembered something again, "You should not be enslaved yet, right?"

"I entered." Chen Siyao said, "I gave it to Gu Guanshi the day I entered the mansion."

At that time, I thought it would be more convenient to act like this, and there was no need to give people an excuse.

"That's it." Chu Wudao said, "I'll let Gu Qing deal with it later, and get rid of slavery for you siblings."

Chen Siyuan hurriedly thanked her again.

In fact, she is used to being cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and she is mostly indifferent to everything in the past, and she really wants to stay by Chu Wu's side to protect him, so she doesn't care much about whether she is a slave or not.

What's more, it wasn't Gu Baiji who forced them into slavery at the beginning, but Chen Siyuan asked them to protect the lord when he heard that they were sent to protect the prince. After all, they came from special backgrounds. trust.

But even so, thinking that Chen Qi would be freed from slavery in the future, Chen Siyuan felt a little more grateful to Chu Wu in her heart.

On the other side, Gu Baiji did encounter some troubles, and after really digging in, he found that the terrain in southern Xinjiang was much more complicated than expected.

Fortunately, with many medicines prepared by Chu Wu for this situation, the army was forced to stop at the outskirts of the mountain forest by the miasma.

Even so, it took nearly three days to clear half of the two hills occupied by the bandits.

However, what Gu Bai did not expect was that he could meet an "acquaintance" in this remote deep mountain and old forest.

"You just said..." Gu Baiji's tone was slow, with a sense of depression about to come, and he said almost word by word, "What do you mean by knowing the cause of my mother's death?"

"Yes, the villain knows."

The person who spoke was about 30 years old, with sunken eyes, dressed as a scholar, and played a role similar to a military adviser among the gangsters.

On the way to suppress the bandits just now, the bandits were really heinous. In order to fight against Gu Baiji, they even captured many women and children. They used some strange method to lure these people as bait to lure ferocious beasts to fight against them.After most of the gangsters were wiped out, the man saw that he could not escape, so he hurriedly said that he knew the secret about the general's mother's death that year.

Gu Baiji's mother died of dystocia back then, but according to his later investigation, it was obviously not that simple. The maid beside his mother said that Gu's mother's birth was very smooth, even better than Gu Baiji's birth. The time was much smoother, but when Gu Nanshu was carried out and everyone was busy, the midwife suddenly said that there was still one in the wife's stomach, and then there was an accident during the delivery, and the blood collapsed.

In this way, one dead body and two lives were killed. The dead baby who was carried out later was a boy.

And since that time, a personal maid who had been serving Mother Gu died unexpectedly, and the midwife's family was burned down in a fire. Gu Baiji searched for so many years and still found nothing. Will be spoken out of nowhere in this remote place.
