The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210: 130 Prodigy (First Update) _3

A slender little figure quickly emerged in Gu Changqing’s mind.

He had brought the eaglet back, taken it to that alleyway. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

The people in the alleyway knew nothing about the origin of the eaglet, taking it just as Xiao Jingkong had said, a gift from his elder brother.

The eaglet was very fierce, and whoever in the house tried to feed it would get a peck. But the old lady had a trick.

The old lady opened the chicken cage.

Xiao Jingkong’s seven chicks strutted out. They were very brave chicks, boldly entering the eaglet’s cage, then lined up like when Xiao Jingkong took them out for walks, each chicken feeding the eaglet with a piece of raw meat in its beak.

The eaglet became very well-behaved under the care of the seven chicken mothers, squawking expectantly for food!

The old lady watched this happily.

Gu Jiao came over and said, “Grandma, I am going to the military camp to deliver something to Uncle Dogwa.”

Before leaving the village, Xue Ningxiang had asked them to send Dogwa’s uncle a letter, some winter clothes, and a safety charm she had prayed for at the temple

Gu Jiao added jars of pickled vegetables and dried meat she made herself.

The old lady nodded: “Go ahead.”

There were several military camps in the Capital City. The one Gu Jiao was going to was Tiger Mountain Camp. The distance was not too far, and she could reach there in half a 2-hour period if she hurried.

Gu Jiao hired a horse carriage.

When she arrived at the camp, they were conducting military drills. The spirited shouting of the soldiers could be heard from afar.

The carriage stopped outside the military camp.

A soldier walked over, raised his hand to stop the carriage, “Who is it?”

Gu Jiao got off the carriage, telling him, “I’m here to see someone. He is under Deputy General Hu, called Zhou Erzhuang.”

Dogwa’s father was called Zhou Dazhuang.

The soldier looked Gu Jiao up and down, impatiently saying, “The camp is off limits to visitors. Leave immediately!”

Gu Jiao said, “Just for a little while.”

The soldier coldly replied: “No, that won’t do!”

Gu Jiao continued: “I brought him some items. I will leave once I deliver them.”

The soldier became even more impatient: “Leave it here, and I will deliver it later!”

Zhou Erzhuang had mentioned in his letters that some soldiers might withhold things sent in. Gu Jiao still wanted to hand them over to him personally: “When will they finish their drills? I will wait for him here.”

The soldier frowned: “Hey, what’s the matter with you? You think you can hang around a military camp at will? How do I know you’re not a spy?”

“I’m not.” Gu Jiao said.
