Chapter 371: Guessing People's Hearts
Mo Yan stood in front of the dark guard, frowning and looking at him a little hesitantly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Childe's ...... of the medicine he is using these days"
Hearing his hesitation, the dark guard immediately looked at him and asked, "How is the medicine that Childe is using?" ”
Mo Yan glanced at him and said, "Yes, it's a medicine I haven't seen before." ”
"I'm worried that it's stronger than the last medicine I saw......"
The dark guard stared at Mo Yan for a while, and said in a low voice, "There is a sentence that I have wanted to talk to you for a long time. ”
"Childe's affairs are not something you and I can ask about."
"You went too far last time, I warn you...... You just have to do your part. ”
Mo Yan suddenly raised his head to look at him.
It's rare for the dark guard to say such a long sentence, and he still said it to Mo Yan.
After a long time, Mo Yan responded in a low voice: "I only have one task when I go to my son's side......"
...... The Dark Guard came down from the upper floor, about two hours later.
In the meantime, Mo Yan had been staying downstairs, he had the patience to sit and wait, glancing in the direction of the stairs from time to time.
When the figure of the dark guard reappeared at the corner, Mo Yan suddenly stood up to meet him.
"What did you hear from Childe after you met him?"
The dark guard didn't respond when he heard this, but just looked at Mo Yan and was silent.
The latter felt something, his eyes fell on him, and he asked with a little surprise in his tone later: "What are you...... Heading out again? Or do you need to be away for a while? ”
Sure enough, he guessed it!
The dark guard looked at Mo Yan and said calmly, "There are other people coming...... I'm leaving for the time being, taking over my work here in Northland. ”
"There is still something to do before leaving, and we need to finish it before dawn."
The dark guard walked to the door, turned to look at Mo Yan with a somewhat dazed expression and said, "Don't forget what I reminded you, you are so self-conscious, I will leave." ”
As soon as the door opened, the cold air from outside poured in.
It's too warm inside and too cold outside.
Mo Yan couldn't help but shudder.
...... At nightfall, the moon is hidden in the clouds at the frontline of the Northland.
At this time, Gu Qimei's gaze in the crowd was fixed on the partially burned food hoard on the side of the camp.
Behind her, stood the eldest sister of the Gu family, who was the front-line commander of this Northland War and the highly respected General Gu in the Northland Army.
From the moment the two appeared, the mess fell silent.
Looking at the extinguished fire, the faces of both men were undoubtedly gloomy.
A fire in the middle of the night? What a surprise!!
The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first.
The food hoarded on the front line in the north was originally not much, although the rescue was timely, but the hoarded grain was still partially burned in a short time.
This means that the transfer must be made before dawn.
Even if it is mobilized from Northland Town, it will take a while.
The weather in the Northland is unreliable at this time, and there may be a heavy snowfall on the road, in that case...... It's a bit tricky.
Hoarding grain is burned...... There's another reason for this, and that's that the winds in the mountains are especially strong in the Northland winter months!
The north wind fueled the fire.
In addition to that, the time point is in the middle of the night...... It was the moment when the guards were most slack.
In the past few days, the focus of the military has been on investigating the matter of the last night attack, which is also the meaning of the empress.
Gu Qimei took the empress's order and rushed directly to the front line to meet General Gu.
The two of them stayed in the tent late at night, surrounded by many officers.
Suddenly, the soldiers on guard came to report that there was a fire in the temporary warehouse on the side of the camp!
When everyone heard this, their colors immediately changed.
When I arrived at the accident site to inspect it, the origin of the fire was the same as the last night attack.
Before I knew it, it came strangely......
The person who secretly started did it deliberately chose the right time, and this was the moment of laxity in the barracks.
In addition, the officers were all discussing matters at General Gu's office, and even the guards on patrol were less effective than usual.
The battle in the north was put on hold, and each side stood still.
Now that this incident has happened, the loss is not mentioned for the time being, how to report to the empress in Beidi Town is a headache for the resident general.
The two Gu family members were ostensibly calmer than those officers around them.
Gu Qimei looked at the eldest sister, and after the two glanced at each other, General Gu began to arrange the follow-up matters in a calm tone.
The camp is still adequate.
Luckily, it was discovered at a very short time, so the damage could have been reduced.
...... After leaving the accident site after a busy time, the crowd dispersed and walked away.
"The matter of the night attack has not yet been clarified, and there is arson right now, Qimei, what do you think?"
"Right under my nose...... secretly waited for an opportunity to burn the ...... of grain hoarding"
The eldest sister of the Gu family stopped in front of the big tent, and only Gu Qimei was followed by her.
She also stopped, turned and glanced in the direction of the burned part of the grain stockpile.
Gu Qimei lowered her head and thought about it, and then said in a light tone: "I want to...... It doesn't have to be the same group of people, big sister! ”
"The people sent by the camp, the ...... of His Majesty's question"
Gu Qimei was halfway through her words, and the person standing opposite looked at her and asked, "Did that person stay in the mansion to do things?" ”
"Well, two craftsmen have been transferred to the mansion from the pioneer battalion training ground managed by General Han, but there are still not enough manpower, and Your Majesty hopes to get the carriage in order as soon as possible."
As Gu Qimei spoke, she glanced at the guards patrolling in the distance, retracted her gaze and looked at General Gu and said, "When I asked, I learned that that person had also worked with the craftsmen and masters in the village before joining the army. ”
"It's when I'm employing people, I look at him as smart, and he won't be slow to get started, so he just stays to help the craftsmen in the house."
Gu Qimei said calmly: "There are many of him in the camp." ”
...... I wandered back and forth in the woods until my chaotic mind calmed down.
At this moment, I counted the hours, barely slept for a while, and turned back into the courtyard.
This time when I arrived in the courtyard, I didn't go to see the situation in Master Wan's house, knowing that he and Ah Rong must have fallen asleep.
After all, you have to get up tomorrow morning and do the right thing.
I closed the courtyard door on the west side, thinking that Yuan Xiu must be resting at this time, and several people will be busy tomorrow morning.
Actually, I know that I have better things to deal with than them.
For example, when it comes to making food, Ah Rong and Master Wan are not picky, and it is not difficult for me to meet their requirements.
Although the steward of the big kitchen in the house looks a little difficult to get along with, it is just a relationship of personality.
If the person who was sent was really down-to-earth and didn't talk much, I don't think he would be too picky.
When I go to the big kitchen, I just remember to follow the rules over there.
I believe that the female officers agree to it, and the steward will not deliberately embarrass me.
Compared to what I have to face, Master Wan and Ah Rong still have the task of repairing the carriage.
It must be more difficult for them to satisfy the female officials in the house than it is for me to cook.
The thought turned again, and I thought of the people on the other side of the flowerbed...... As for Yuan Xiu, it is estimated that she will have insomnia tonight.
She is still worried about her grandfather's condition!
You can tell from the conversation she had with me!
The matter of going to the pharmacy tomorrow to ask the doctor for a doctor, at this moment, it is still a matter that she is not sure whether it will go smoothly, she has never even seen the face of the young owner of the pharmacy, and she is not so sure.
After thinking about it, I slowly relaxed.
As soon as I thought about it, I thought that the Dark Guard didn't refuse the map when he left, and with his style of doing things, if he didn't refuse, he would probably be able to do it for me.
The thought of tomorrow will be able to accurately understand the terrain of the house, which can be regarded as a good start for the next things to go smoothly.
I thought about it, lay down on the makeshift "bed", and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
...... Before going to bed, I reminded myself that I had to wake up early before dawn tomorrow.
Maybe it played a role, I didn't sleep deeply, and when I woke up and opened my eyes, it wasn't all dawn outside.
I quickly got up and walked out into the yard.
I stood under the eaves and listened to the movements around me, as well as Master Wan's house...... Make sure they're not up yet.
I slept late last night, so I guess I didn't wake up so early, so I should be fine when I go out.
Walking to the west side of the courtyard gate, the cold wind of the early morning was blowing, and the whole person was completely awake.
...... I walked out into the woods, all the way to the place where I had met the Dark Guard last night.
The surrounding area is shrouded in fog, which is like a natural protective barrier.
Even if you hear a little movement from a distance, your vision is partially blocked.
I hesitated for a moment before I took out the piccolo I had brought with me and blew it softly.
...... When the Dark Guard appeared in front of me, I was surprised to realize that he seemed to be waiting in the woods for a long time.
Because of the way he looks, he looks like he has been waiting in the forest for a while.
"Am I waking up late?"
I looked at him and asked hesitantly.
Obviously, I asked him, but I came later than others, of course I was a little embarrassed.
The guard looked at me and shook his head, then he reached out and took something out of his arms, paused for a moment, and handed it to me.
"You told me last night...... Maps needed. ”
The guard looked at me carefully, and then said, "I still have something to do, I'll leave the mansion later!" ”
After struggling for a moment, he stared at me and asked, "What do you look like...... Have you used disfiguring drugs? ”
I was taken aback, and immediately thought of his identity, and felt that it was not a great secret.
So, I looked at him and said seriously, "I have indeed used it, and I have improved the prescription." ”
"When I was in Nanhua Town, I got a recipe that was easier to make than I used to use."
"You must be an expert in this area, right?!"
I looked at him and asked with a small smile on my lips.
I had the impression that the Dark Guard would have a compulsory course on disguise, just like the course I had taken at the beginning.
At that moment, I was distracted, and suddenly I wanted to miss someone!!
...... It was still dawn, and although I knew how easy it was for the guard to get in and out of the house, I was also a little curious about where he was going.
"You shouldn't have been sent on a mission by the empress early in the morning, right?"
Before he left, I couldn't help but ask.
The dark guard stared at me for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not the empress's business, I'm going to the mountains of the Northland." ”
He was willing to say a few more words to me, and I was a little surprised by his performance today.
Staring at him, I showed a look of surprise, looked down and thought about it, and couldn't help but ask, "When you go to the mountains, are you going to the camp of the king of Sealand?" ”
The Dark Guard looked at me again and replied in a sincere tone, "No, someone broke in and got trapped, so ...... I'll have to take a look. ”
Even I thought it was amazing, when did he become a good chatter?
"I listened to what you said...... Why does it sound like a trap dug in the mountains of the Northland? ”
I muttered, and made eye contact with the Dark Guard.
"In fact, it's a trap."
I looked at him and said with a bit of surprise in my tone, "Could it be true...... Did I guess it? Is it a coincidence? ”
"Those who break in, think they're in a passage, and they're going to keep going."
Confused, I looked at him and asked again, "If it's a trap, why do you keep going?" ”
"Didn't you think about going back?"
What does he mean by trap...... How is it different from what I imagined to be a trap in my previous understanding?
Keep moving forward, is this a demonic obstacle?
I shudder at the thought.
"That's because the person who sets the trap can control the situation, guess people's hearts, and know what they care, so the passage can become a trap!!"
"I don't quite understand what you're saying, but it sounds amazing!"
I looked at him and smiled helplessly.
At this point, the Dark Guard looked down and thought for a moment, then looked up at me and didn't speak.
I thought about it from his point of view, and said to myself: "Forget it, you have revealed a lot, I haven't heard you say so much!" ”
I glanced at him quickly, then said calmly, "I know...... As a secret guard, it's definitely not convenient for you to say a lot. ”
"In order to avoid your embarrassment, I will not continue to ask."
He handed me a small box.
I stretched out my hand to him and said in a relaxed tone, "The map is in the box?" Thank you for the map! ”
"It's so much better that I can figure out the way here as soon as possible."
He nodded at me before leaving, hesitated and then made a gesture.
I looked at his vanishing back with a look of astonishment!
...... As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw that Master Wan and Ah Rong had already gotten up.
When Ah Rong saw me appear outside the gate of the courtyard on the west side, he immediately walked up and looked behind me.
"Xiaolin, you ...... early in the morning Did you ask someone from the flower garden to meet in the woods? ”
I was a little out of shape, and hesitated for a few seconds before looking at him.
