Chapter 2947 Mutation, death without evidence【5】

Brother Cheng shook his head: "It's not that I have anything to do with him, but there are too many things happening to David now. I'm afraid that he will be assassinated, so I asked... We don't know his whereabouts. If something goes wrong, we If we don’t know it in time, we won’t be able to save him even if he wants to.”

 And his cousin's family is his family's biggest trump card. If something happens to his cousin, his family will lose a lot of help.

Gu Jinli: "Don't worry, he is very capable, and the people he leads are also powerful. Nothing will happen... If he is really in trouble, he will ask us for help."

After hearing this, Brother Cheng was relieved and asked curiously: "Second sister, how long will he have to watch before he feels relieved?"

Gu Jinli shook his head: "I don't know either... Anyway, I have to wait until Mingjun appears."

 You will only surrender when you see a wise ruler appear?

 Brother Cheng's face became sad: "Even if I have to see the next generation..." David today does not have a wise king.

Gu Jinli sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it."

 If she saw David now, she would not be willing to surrender.

Seeing Brother Cheng's very sad look, he smiled and raised his hand to poke him in the face, saying: "Don't worry about these things. What we have to do now is to protect ourselves...you need to check more about things underground." Again, that is the way to escape, there can be no mistakes."

Cheng Ge'er nodded: "Second sister, don't worry, I often go underground to check the tunnels, there is no problem... I will take You Xi to check the tunnels of the Duke of Qin's mansion these two nights. You can take the child and have a good rest."

 Gu Jinli agreed: "Sure."

This mansion is the ancestral residence of the Qin family. Grandfather Qin built secret rooms and tunnels.

After Qin's father got it, in order to prevent Qin's rules, he changed the secret room and tunnel.

Last year, Brother Qin changed the route of the secret room and the tunnel to ensure that no outsiders knew the direction of the Qin family's secret tunnel.

“Let’s go and meet the Xie family.” Gu Jinli stood up and took Brother Cheng to meet the Xie family.

When Father Xie and Mother Xie saw their siblings, they hurriedly led their grandchildren to salute: "Meet the Duke's wife, and meet the Marquis of Lu."

He said to Gu Jinli again: "I'm really sorry for causing trouble to Madam."

Cheng Ge's daughter-in-law said that today's incident was too big, and Prince Wei was not easy to mess with. What if he couldn't swallow this and led troops to rebel tonight? He forced them to come to the Duke of Qin's mansion, saying that they would have a greater chance of survival by following the Duke of Qin's wife.

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "You don't need to be polite. It's not troublesome. It's better for your family to come over early. That way, if something really happens, I don't have to send someone to pick you up. Even if nothing happens, the children can do it." Companion."

After hearing this, Ji Zhenniang felt proud and said to the two elders of the Xie family: "You two elders have heard it. I said that Gu Xiaoyu will not be angry. We are friends in life and death. Besides, there are many houses in the Duke of Qin's mansion. Let's live together." Staying there can also add some popularity to the Qin family."

Gu Jinli Haha, what, is my house very spooky?

Madam Xie was so angry that her brain ached, and she hurriedly said: "Brother Cheng and daughter-in-law, when we were in the northwest, the Duke's wife took good care of our family. Now that we have arrived in the capital, it is relatively peaceful. Our family will have to give less to the Duke's wife." Trouble, please help me more."

"I can help." Ji Zhenniang said: "Since my sister-in-law got pregnant, I have taken on a lot of errands for the women's family. I am very busy and tired. It is even harder than when I was in the northwest."

Gu Jinli looked at her and said, "I see that you are quite lively, and there is no trace of fatigue on your face... It seems that you are still too leisurely. It happens that there are goods piled up in the workshop in the house to be inspected, so go and keep an eye on them. "

Ji Zhenniang almost jumped up after hearing this. But Gu Jinli said again: "By the way, you have to get up at nine o'clock tomorrow and learn how to use the new crossbow arrows. After you learn how to use them, you can teach Xiao Zhuzhu and the others."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhuzhu’s eyes brightened up and she promised, “Aunt Qin, I will study hard.”

Ji Zhenniang almost cried: "Daughter, you are a noble lady, but you can't learn these things of fighting and killing. Let's learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

 In the future, she will marry into a high family and become the wife of a princess.

Speaking of becoming the princess's wife, Ji Zhenniang glanced at little Luoyou... Although Zhuzhu was a few years older than Prince Luo, but the third daughter was holding gold bricks, her Zhuzhu might be able to do it if she gave it a try!

Xiao Zhuzhu could tell her mother's thoughts at a glance and wanted to say to her, Mom, can you stop daydreaming?

Xiao Zhuzhu said: "Mom, it is a good thing for your daughter to learn crossbow. If you learn it, you will have the ability to defend yourself. You don't have to worry about your daughter being bullied all the time."

Looked at Gu Jinli again and begged: "Aunt Qin, I will learn to use a crossbow with my mother tomorrow, okay? I can get up, and I am not afraid of hardship."

God, this child was taught so well by the Xie family's parents. He is much more sensible than Ji Zhenniang.

"You are a good boy. Here is the reward from my aunt." Gu Jinli took out a few pieces of colorful candy and handed them to Xiao Zhuzhu, and then said: "If you really want to learn, of course you can. But you don't have to get up in the middle of the day, you still have to You are young, you need to sleep more to grow stronger... Get up at midnight and go to the martial arts training ground in the backyard. At that time, your mother and the others are still practicing, so you can just go and learn for three-quarters of an hour."

Ji Zhenniang was so sad after hearing this that she hurriedly begged Gu Jinli: "Gu Xiaoyu, the weather is too cold now, why don't I go and learn crossbow archery again?"

He also argued: "I learned how to use crossbows and archery when I was in the northwest. I am familiar with these weapons. I can learn them casually. There is no need to learn them before dawn."

Gu Jinli chuckled: "Is it early in the morning? There are early training in the military camp, and there are several hills. And is it very cold now? The capital city is much warmer than the northwest."

besides…

"This new crossbow is different from the ones we learned before. It is a twelve-gun crossbow. The mechanism inside has been greatly changed, and the method of loading arrows has also changed. You have to learn it from scratch, and you have to learn it seriously, otherwise If one person is not good, he will most likely hurt one of his own."

"Twelve consecutive crossbows?!" Ji Zhenniang was shocked: "Where did you get this kind of crossbow arrows? It can shoot so many rounds. It's so powerful."

"Is it very powerful?" There was no joy on Gu Jinli's face, but concern appeared on his face. He looked at Ji Zhenniang and said, "There is a battle report, saying that the crossbow arrows used by the Dongqing people this time are twelve consecutive crossbows."

"What!" Ji Zhenniang was shocked: "The Dongqing thieves have such powerful weapons? Isn't that much more powerful than us?"

Gu Jinli nodded: "Yes, they are indeed better than us, and the most powerful repeating crossbow seems to have more than twelve rounds. It's just that we didn't get their latest repeating crossbow arrows, so we can't be sure."

"The Dongqing people have such powerful weapons, what should my family Xie Cheng do?!" Ji Zhenniang cried in fright, hugged Xiao Zhuzhu, and said: "My poor Zhuzhu, you have just been reunited with your parents for a few months, you Dad is going to..."

"Stop being so talkative... I shouldn't have told you about crossbows." Gu Jinli regretted it very much. Why was she talking to Ji Zhenniang about such serious things as weapons? Ji Zhenniang didn't have the brains to tell her about the new weapons.

But Mrs. Xie was a smart person and asked Gu Jinli: "Madam, I heard Brother Cheng say that it seems that the most powerful crossbow maker is our David. So did the Dongqing people steal our David's things?"

Brother Cheng mentioned something in the family letter he wrote to them. It was said that during the previous war in the northwest, the Ning family received a reward for donating an eight-shot repeating crossbow... How powerful are these twelve-shot repeating crossbows? , Mrs. Xie no longer dared to think about it, but she had a suspicion in her heart, a suspicion about the Ning family.
