Chapter 42 Indecent assault

The back garden of the Chu Mansion.

Chu Zhao leaned against the rockery with his arms folded, looking at Gu Xi who was happily picking flowers.

Some flowers and plants are rare materials.

Gu Xi now has the second level of camouflage skills, and more materials are needed for disguise.

She thought it through and realized that ancient treasures could not be considered antiques in modern times and their value was about the same as in ancient times.

But she can sell modern supplies for money.

Countless predecessors who have traveled through time have tried it. Glass cups, plastic products, and those little gadgets that cost a few dollars in Yiwu Small Commodity City would be priceless if they were brought to ancient times.

She has already made plans. In the future, she will do business, trade materials from both sides, and become the most powerful "rich man" in the world.

Then she would have to travel far and wide, and she couldn't use her identity as the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Fortunately, she had the skill of disguise.

"Hey, hey, Miss Gu, please don't plucking all the weeds in my garden." Chu Zhao said unhappily.

Gu Xi said without turning his head:

"Oh? How about I ask the next lady if I can pick more of these flowers?"

Chu Zhao: "..."

Well, considering how much his mother likes Gu Xi, even if the whole garden is flattened by Gu Xi, his mother would probably be happy to help pass her the shovel.

"Miss Gu, let's not beat around the bush. Where did you hide the Sun family's valuables?" Chu Zhao couldn't help but ask.

Gu Xi's eyes rolled around. She would never admit to this.

Not to mention that most of that property was taken away by the unscrupulous system.

Even if it was still in her hand, she couldn't recognize it.

Anyway, Chu Zhao has no evidence.

"I don't know what you mean. I told you clearly at the inn that I knew nothing. I'm still wondering, why would you, a great general of the Chu family, be eyeing the Sun family's property? Could it be that you stole it?"

Now Gu Xi also figured it out. Chu Zhao’s theft to the Sun family was probably related to the shortage of food and fodder for the Northwest Army.

There is nothing wrong with a young boy in adolescence, full of passion, stealing from the rich and unkind bad guys for the sake of his soldiers.

But now she has helped the Northwest Army solve this problem perfectly. It was not excessive for her to take that batch of property, and Gu Xi felt at ease.

Seeing Gu Xi playing dumb, Chu Zhao gritted his teeth.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me ask you, how did you find Zhen Wude's secret room?"

Gu Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

How did he know this?

"You followed me?" Gu Xi reacted immediately and said angrily.

Chu Zhao was proud.

"You are allowed to do bad things, but no one else is allowed to know? I tell you, you'd better tell the truth. Everything you did is under my control."

Gu Xi snorted, "You little brat, you're still trying to trick her."

"Since everything is under your control, why are you still asking me why?"

Having collected all the materials he needed, Gu Xi turned around and left.

Chu Zhao hurried forward and stretched out his arms to block Gu Xi's way.

"You can't leave. I still have a lot of questions to ask."

"What else do you want to ask?" Gu Xi asked.

"The batch of grain from Chengyang County suddenly arrived at the gate of the military camp. Was it you who did it?" Chu Zhao stared into Gu Xi's eyes.

Gu Xi still pretended to be stupid:

"Major General, I'm afraid you've read too many books and developed paranoia? I don't understand what you're saying. I have to go back."

After saying that, he crouched down and slipped under Chu Zhao's arm.

Chu Zhao was absolutely certain that this matter was related to Gu Xi, so he naturally refused to let her go and grabbed her arm.

"No, you have to explain it to me today."

Gu Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at the big hand that was holding his arm.

"What? Are you trying to molest me?"

Chu Zhao let go angrily. This woman is really——

"You think too much. I'm not so hungry that I won't choose what to eat."

"Oh, do you think I'm ugly or have a bad figure? I think I'm naturally beautiful. Would you please take a closer look, General?"

Gu Xi deliberately changed the subject to prevent him from dwelling on things she couldn't explain when he was old.

"You, how could you do this--" Chu Zhao was furious.

"What's wrong with me? Flirtatious? It's not the first time you've known this. Since you don't molest me, I'll molest you."

Gu Xi said as he pinched Chu Zhao's face.

The flesh on her face is firm and smooth, and feels good to the touch. Apart from being a little dark, there is nothing wrong with her.

Chu Zhao: "!!!"

run away.

Gu Xi, who successfully scared Chu Zhao away, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The innocent boys in ancient times were still very shy, and it was really fun to tease them.

She wouldn't dare do that in modern times.

A modern 17-year-old boy may be dependent on his parents and cannot even take care of himself; he may be a mama's boy with no opinion, but he is rarely so shy in front of girls. If he is taken advantage of, it will be more trouble than gain.

Chu Zhao ran all the way back to his courtyard with a dark face.

He took a deep breath to calm his blushing face and pounding heart, and decided that he must have been running too fast.

But when he came to his senses, he realized that he had been tricked by Gu Xi.

It was obviously a deliberate attempt to change the subject.

Now, Chu Zhao was even more certain that the batch of grain must have been sent by Gu Xi.

How many secrets does this strange woman hide?

Chu Zhao decided to investigate Gu Xi thoroughly.

He asked someone to find Wu Dajiang and ordered:

"Now that the military food crisis has been resolved, you send a message to Lu Xiaowu and the others, telling them not to rush back after selling the antiques in the capital, and to secretly investigate General Gu's eldest daughter, Gu Xi, from the first house. I want to know everything, but don't let anyone find out."

Wu Dajiang accepted the order and then said:

"Major General, today I saw that woman coming to the General's Mansion. It turns out that she is the eldest daughter of the Gu family. No wonder she wanted to take revenge on the second branch of the Gu family."

Then he winked and said:

"However, I just heard from someone in the mansion that the madam is looking for a wife for the young general. Could it be Miss Gu?"

Chu Zhao kicked Wu Dajiang on the buttocks and said angrily:

"roll!"

Wu Dajiang left with a chuckle.

At this moment, Gu Xi had returned to the front hall. Madam Ren wanted to keep her and her daughter for dinner, but Qi couldn't stay because a whole family was waiting for them at home.

Mrs. Ren had no choice but to give up and send them out, repeatedly telling them to come to the general's mansion if they needed anything.

As soon as he returned to the inn, Gu Xi saw a flash of golden light in front of him, and the system issued another task.

[Mission: Join the Northwest Army within three days.]

[Completion reward: Level 1 horse riding skills. ]

[Unfinished penalty: format all host's skills and space. ]

Gu Xi went berserk.

"System, get out of here. Explain to me what it means to join the army. You want a cute girl like me to join the Northwest Army, which is full of rough men. Don't you feel guilty? Besides, have you ever seen a military camp that wants women?"
