Chapter 1713: 837 Xuanping Marquis Arrives (1st watch)

Gu Jiao was too tired. Thinking and thinking, her eyelids grew heavy, and she fell asleep on the little desk in front of her.

For ventilation, her tent flap was open, and there were two cavalry guards at the entrance.

A vanguard camp cavalryman passed by, unintentionally glanced inside, and then stopped in his tracks.

Soon after, two, three, four...

Without Gu Jiao knowing, a bunch of curious heads crowded at the doorway.

"The little commander is drooling..."

"The little commander’s frowning..."

"He’s even scrunching his nose..."

"Keep your voice down..."

Gu Jiao lay across the table, her tender little cheeks pressed into plumpness, her small mouth slightly open, drooling crystal clear saliva all over the table.

Having studied Wang Man for so many days, Gu Jiao had just managed to pick up the essence, totally unaware that her official image had fallen apart in a single day.

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t push me, I can’t see..." a cavalryman grumbled, almost being squeezed out.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger.

Everyone wanted to see the little commander sleeping.

Strangely enough, they were all big men, so why did they like watching another big man?

In terms of looks, Mu Qingchen was more handsome and suave. After all, he was the number one young master of Shengdu, and rightfully so.

But they didn’t like watching Mu Qingchen.

"What’s going on? What’s happened?"

Master Hu, who had just come over from the kitchen, was taken aback when he saw the doorway surrounded layer upon layer, fearing some serious incident had happened inside the commander’s tent.

He asked out loud.

But no one paid him any mind.

He poked a cavalryman at the back of the line: "Hey, what’s going on?"

The cavalryman didn’t turn around, and pushed away his hand: "Don’t bother! Go away!"

Master Hu widened his eyes and took a sharp breath.

What did this brat just say? Telling who to go away? I’m your Uncle Hu!

I’m no longer that nameless, undervalued benchwarmer adviser; I’m a confidant highly valued by Commander Xiao! I’ve accompanied the commander north and south, conquering all lands!

My status is very high!

Fuming, Master Hu raised his hand, jumped, and landed a slap on the back of the cavalryman’s head: "How dare you!"

The cavalryman immediately turned around, seeing it was Master Hu, he shrank his neck and pinched his companion’s bottom.

The companion slapped away his hand: "What are you doing! I’m watching the little commander!"

"Ahem ahem!" He cleared his throat heavily.

All the cavalrymen simultaneously turned their heads, glaring angrily, unanimously lowering their voices: "Shut up!"

They might wake the little commander!

Then, they saw Master Hu with a gloomy expression.

Everyone awkwardly froze for three seconds, then hurriedly dispersed!

Master Hu didn’t catch a single one, gritting his teeth in anger: "A bunch of little brats!"

He stormed into the tent angrily.

Just seeing Gu Jiao lying on the table, he couldn’t help but clutch his chest.

No way?

What kind of heavenly little commander is this...

Too cute!

Gu Jiao slept until the afternoon.

Master Hu lowered the tent flap; after all, those little brats might see the little commander’s doughy little face again.

After waking up, Gu Jiao quietly wiped away the drool, as if nothing had happened.

I’m not embarrassed; it’s others who are embarrassed.

Master Hu awkwardly laughed and said, "Sir, it’s still early, why don’t you rest a bit more?"

"No." Gu Jiao rubbed her sore neck, "What’s the situation in the city?"

Master Hu replied, "Everything is in order, rest assured, Sir."

Thinking of something, Gu Jiao asked, "Does Quyang City have a city lord?"

Master Hu had already inquired about this information, so he said, "The former city lord was from the Nangong Family. After the family head of the Nangong Family came, he made himself the city lord and took the former city lord with him when he left."

Gu Jiao acknowledged, "We need to find a new city lord to restore order in the city."

Master Hu quickly agreed, "I will keep an eye out. Oh, right, Sir, while you were resting, the Medical Officer from the wounded camp came by and said Chang Wei has woken up."

Gu Jiao was surprised, "Oh, that was quick. Quite resilient. I’ll go have a look."

Seeing his thin little build, Master Hu couldn’t help but blurt out, "Eat before you go!"

It was in the tone of a head of the family scolding their child!

Gu Jiao, who had stood up, gave Master Hu a strange look.

Master Hu then realized what he had just said in panic, shivered with fright, and bowed his head, saying, "I-I mean...you haven’t eaten all day. It’s not urgent to see Chang Wei, after all, he won’t die in a while. Sir, you should eat before going..."
