Chapter 539 Warmth like a big brother
Nan Xingkuang knew that Gu Chan must be up to something in this matter, but he didn't point it out and just shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, come with me to the General's Mansion to have a rest and recuperate. We will take a boat there in the afternoon."
"Okay, General." Gu Chan said happily.
Then the two of them went to the general's mansion to rest together.
And Nan Xingkuang did favor Gu Chan. After the two of them entered the general's mansion, he ordered people to make good wine and dishes to entertain them.
For a moment, Gu Chan's mouth was full of oil, which was a great pleasure.
In the afternoon, after resting, Gu Chan and Nan Xingkuang came to the small dock behind Jiangnan Camp. Then the two left on a warship and rushed towards the Dujiang Town dock.
Because they were traveling upstream, it took the two of them more than two hours to arrive at the Dujiang Town Pier.
It was already midnight.
The two got off the warship. Nan Xingkuang ordered the soldiers to guard the warship. Then he took only Gu Chan to Zuo Wangfeng's camp without any bodyguards.
On the way there, the two of them rode horses. Gu Chan sat on the horse and said, "General, do you really believe in Zuo Wangfeng so much that you don't even bring a guard?"
"When I was studying in Kyoto, I, my senior brother Long Zhen, and his Zuo Wangfeng were all under the same master. In theory, the three of us are considered senior brothers, and he is also my senior brother. You Do you understand?" Nan Xingkuang explained.
"That's it! Then why are you and General Long Zhen so loyal and patriotic, but he wants to seek refuge with the prince to help him do evil?" Gu Chan asked.
"You are still young, and you don't understand many things yet. People are in different positions and have different choices." Nan Xingkuang did not explain too much, but just replied lightly.
Gu Chan had a dull look on his face when he heard this, and Monk Zhang Er was really confused.
Nan Xingkuang did not dwell too much on this issue and instead said, "By the way, the day after tomorrow is the day when the Jiangnan Poetry Conference will be held. How are you preparing for it?"
"What are you preparing for?" Gu Chan said dumbfounded.
"Aren't you going to participate in the poetry meeting?" Nan Xingkuang asked.
Gu Chan shook his head.
From the beginning to the end, she never thought about participating in any poetry meeting. She had asked the old academician to hold this grand meeting before, just to delay the time. She did not want Zuo Wangfeng and Shuiyue to lead their troops into Jiangnan. It's just a city, so participating in a poetry meeting was not in her plan at all.
Nan Xingkuang smiled lightly and said, "I advise you to sign up to participate. Now that you are the leader of Jiangnan, you can also take this opportunity to select the truly talented people in Jiangnan for your own use. If you don't participate, you will How can you personally select the best candidate? ”
"Hiss...that makes sense! I really didn't think about this before, but you reminded me." Gu Chan hissed and immediately changed his mind.
She admitted that Nan Xingkuang was right.
What she lacks the most now is talents, like the gang of second princes in Jiangnan. Even if she saves their lives this time, she still has to replace them all in the future. Otherwise, if she really wants to secure her position as the lord of Jiangnan, then It's also impossible.
Thinking of this, Gu Chan made a decision immediately, "Okay, then I will go back tomorrow and go find the old academician to sign up." "Remember, the Second Prince Party cannot be reused. As a lord of one party, never plant hidden dangers around you, otherwise one day If something happens, you may not even know how you died," Nan Xing scolded.
"Okay, thank you so much, General. I've learned a lesson." Gu Chan cupped her fists and thanked him.
Nan Xingkuang waved his hand carelessly, "You are still young and you still have a lot to learn. I hope you will learn how to be a good lord in the future. I can't always stay in the Jiangnan area. If one day I am forced to Lead the army and leave, and you will be on your own to deal with all dangers that come to you."
"Okay, I get it, mother-in-law, she acts like a girl." Gu Chan said angrily.
"You..." Nan Xing was furious and speechless.
After that, he simply stopped talking and just rode his horse and whip, speeding up to the camp ahead.
Gu Chan followed him, smiling from ear to ear.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, she also discovered that Nan Xingkuang was more like a big brother. He was very gentle and doting on her. This also made her feel very lucky. At least after coming to the Jiangnan area, she could Meeting such a big brother-like character made her feel unspeakable warmth!
Half an hour later, the two finally arrived outside the camp on horseback.
The two soldiers guarding the gate of the camp saw them coming, and quickly sent one of them to go in and report.
After a while, Zuo Wangfeng put on his battle armor and personally took Shuiyue out of the camp to greet him.
However, the funny thing is, the moment the two parties met, Shuiyue's eyes widened when she saw Nan Xingkuang. The man in front of her was really tall and handsome, it was hard not to make a woman's heart flutter!
Gu Chan glanced at Shui Yue and said with a smile, "Why are you staring at my brother? Are you so perverted that you can't walk when you see a beautiful man?"
"Bah! You stinky brat, you have such a mean mouth. Sooner or later, I will tear that stinky mouth of yours to pieces." Shui Yue came back to her senses and glared at Gu Chan and cursed.
After scolding, she quickly looked away with a blushing face, embarrassed to look at Nan Xingkuang again.
Zuo Wangfeng said awkwardly, "Junior brother, I'm sorry! I made you laugh. She has been with the prince all year round and has not seen many capable men. It is inevitable that she will be shy like a little woman. I hope you don't mind. ”
"Senior brother, what are you talking about? You and I haven't seen each other for many years. I came here to catch up with you tonight and nothing else." Nan Xingkuang said with a faint smile.
When he said this, all his eyes were focused on Zuo Wangfeng, and he didn't even look at Shuiyue.
To put it another way, a woman like Shuiyue would never be able to catch his eye.
Zuo Wangfeng didn't care about this, but welcomed the two of them into the camp very enthusiastically. Soon the four of them came to the general's tent and took their seats.
As soon as he sat down, Nan Xingkuang said with a puzzled look, "By the way, senior brother, you can come directly to Jiangnan Camp to find me! Why is it that the lord doesn't come to see me?"
"Hmph! Ask him! That night I had already taken Shuiyue with me and entered the Jiangnan River by boat. We were almost behind your Jiangnan camp. But this brat brought a powerful old beggar with him. , came on a flower boat to block me, and threatened me in all kinds of ways. He threatened and said that the old beggar was the emperor's old son who was living abroad. I wanted to avoid causing trouble to you, so I turned around and came back. Otherwise, what message would I send to you?" Zuo Wangfeng Bai Gu Chan! One glance, and he explained angrily.
Nan Xingkuang immediately glared at Gu Chan fiercely.
Gu Chan sat on the chair with her legs crossed, laughing awkwardly, not knowing what to say at all.
