Chapter 366: Turning to the Secret Guard
Yuan Xiu agreed, looked at the gardener and said, "Grandpa, the one who broke into the forbidden place of the mansion last time and was beaten is now ...... Where are the people? ā
When she talked about this topic, there was a blank look in her eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Before the person went to the forbidden land, Yuan Xiu actually recognized it, and the people in the flower garden had been in the house for a long time.
Especially before and after the empress came to the Northland, she had dealings with almost everywhere.
Decorate the house, send potted flowers everywhere, and Yuan Xiu almost walked around the courtyard.
She is not very old, and her mouth is sweet when she sees those palace maids, so many people know her.
The man broke into the place where the national teacher lived...... The follow-up news doesn't seem to have been heard.
Yuan Xiu himself...... Because that incident left a deep impression, I specially reminded it out of kindness after meeting Xiaolin.
People who come to the house for the first time don't know the taboos here, and they may not know that the backyard is definitely a place where they can't set foot, and Yuan Xiu doesn't want Xiaolin to cause trouble for no reason because he doesn't know.
She thought about it a few times, but she actually wanted to ask her grandfather for a long time, and Yuan Xiu wanted to know the answer.
The gardener was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyelids and looked at her in a low voice, "Ah Xiu, I didn't hear them talk about it later." ā
"But since the last incident, the man hasn't seen him in the house."
The gardener also came and went more often in the house, more than Yuan Xiu.
Even he said that he hadn't seen it, but he knew that the man was probably not in the house.
He was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at Yuan Xiu and said helplessly, "I guess it was sent out...... Or is it ......"
The gardener stopped talking, he hesitated, and after thinking about it, decided not to mention it.
"Ah Xiu, I don't know very well."
In the gardener's heart, the granddaughter didn't know much about some of the dark insiders in the house after all.
If that person is said to have been ...... by the empress Will it leave a shadow on Ah Xiu!
The gardener's apprehensions have his own reasons.
When Yuan Xiu heard this, his eyes swept over his face again, his heart tightened, and he had already guessed a few points in an instant.
Even if Grandpa didn't want to make the whole thing too clear out of concern, she wasn't completely unaware.
For a moment, the atmosphere around him seemed a little stagnant.
The cold wind of the winter night blew the leaves in the forest and made a constant noise, and the two walked into the deserted courtyard of the flower garden in silence.
...... The dim lights were shining, and a few hot meals were served on the stove!
Yuan Xiu sat opposite the florist, faintly distracted by the light.
She was still planning what she was going to do tomorrow.
Yuan Xiu planned in his heart that he would wait for his grandfather to complete the task entrusted to him by the upper authorities in the mansion, and then he could go to the pharmacy in Northland Town.
The letter written by Xiao Lin is best not handed over to the people in the pharmacy in front of his grandfather!
Yuan Xiu felt that this point needed special attention.
Don't think about hiding the whole thing when the time comes, only to fall short.
Once the news leaks out, with Grandpa's stubborn personality, it must be very difficult for him to change his mind for a while.
Maybe the gardener knew that it was Kobayashi who introduced him, and he would be angry on the spot and leave the pharmacy directly...... It is not necessary to come back to the house.
Yuan Xiu sat at the small table, and took the food with chopsticks and sent it to his mouth.
They had already delayed their meals, and it stands to reason that they were already very hungry, but Yuan Xiu was a little unate.
She was pressed with things on her mind, and she was inevitably a little worried.
The gardener looked at the little granddaughter sitting opposite with her head down and made a muffled sound, and the movements of the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables seemed very mechanical, looking preoccupied.
The gardener looked at the little granddaughter thoughtfully, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at her and said, "Ah Xiu, follow grandpa out tomorrow, if you ...... If you have a place you want to go, tell your grandfather in advance! ā
"There are clothes shops in the town, and all the shops that girls like to go to, you can go and see them."
Yuan Xiu retracted his thoughts and said in a very affirmative tone: "Grandpa, all I want to go to is the pharmacy on the street." ā
"I'm not short of clothes, and I don't have anything to buy."
Yuan Xiu emphatically said: "Grandpa, as long as your legs can be optimistic, it is the happiest thing for me!" ā
"Ah Xiu, it is impossible to say that it is cured, at most it can be relieved, I am very satisfied."
The gardener was not very optimistic about the medical skills of the doctors in the town.
Besides, his illness was very common in the Northlands, and it was very difficult.
I heard that there are very good doctors in Suzhou, but there is no chance to go.
The doctors in the town can often only alleviate the symptoms, and it is too difficult to cure it.
These words only swirled in his mind once, and the gardener did not say them to his granddaughter.
At the moment, none of them have been to Shun'an Hall, and they haven't even seen the doctor sitting in the hall, don't tell the truth now and completely break Ah Xiu's expectations!
The gardener sighed silently in his heart, and turned his head to glance out the window.
The yard of the flower garden is very quiet, and it is more special than the rest of the house.
The courtyard where the craftsmen live is also in this corner, and there are very few people who come and go on a regular basis.
The people in the house, if they don't have something to do, they won't come here.
...... I was in the house, listening to the silence outside, only the sound of the wind passing, and I listened to it with a disturbed heart, and reminded myself several times to calm down.
When I got up and pushed open the door and walked out, I deliberately stopped at the room where Ah Rong and Master Wan lived and listened to the movement.
The two of them snore in the room, and I knew they were asleep.
I have another important thing to do tonight, and I can't calm down.
...... Standing in the courtyard, I reached out and took the car parked in the courtyard again.
It's been a short time since I've been here, and I know very little about it, but I know one thing for sure.
They were the night guards who patrolled the house, and they didn't seem to pass by where we lived...... This area.
In fact, if you think about it, you can know that this is already the most remote corner of the house, far from where the empress lives.
Compared with the place where the heavily guarded national teacher lives, it is even less worth mentioning.
The number of guards must not be as large as there was in the palace at that time, so it is natural to focus more energy on useful places.
The first thing they want to ensure is the safety of the empress.
The empress left the palace in the capital city and drove north in person, which has long been the secret target of many people.
...... I have met the guards of the house when they are walking around the house, and I know the approximate number of them.
There's an attendant leading the way for me!
After thinking about it, I thought that the reason why the mysterious secret guard would choose the forest next to the small courtyard as the meeting place must have been considered.
I don't quite understand one thing, it seems that as the secret guard next to the empress, his behavior will seem a little strange.
After all, I can't think of anything I had crossed paths with him before I met him.
Could it be that he also used to stay in the Sealand Palace in the national capital?!
The thought popped into my mind, and I quickly dismissed it.
I thought about it carefully, including when I was writing in the warehouse alone.
Yet I still couldn't match him with anyone I remembered or remembered meeting him.
I haven't met him.
I definitely hadn't met this person before I arrived at camp, and that's one thing I'm pretty sure of at the moment!
In this way, there are more mysteries on him.
I even imagined that he would be the person next to Yun Chu?
But I myself immediately dismissed this speculation.
The reason for the negative is that he can go to the training ground of the pioneer camp, which is equivalent to exposing the target.
If it's a cloudy person, I think...... will definitely be arranged by him to hide in the shadows, how can there be any reason to go directly to the empress's military camp to walk?
I think that's the case...... It's kind of incredible!
Even if he was like Mo Yan and followed Yun Chu to the palace, the scope of his activities was restricted!
On ordinary days, Mo Yan almost stayed in the attic.
As far as I know, he went out once by chance, and it was also related to the empress!
Sent on tasks such as delivering messages.
When he was in Penglai Pavilion in the Sealand Palace, Mo Yan was almost the same thing as he was doing now.
...... I thought for a moment, then looked down and took out what I had gotten from meeting the Dark Guard.
At that time, in the forest next to the small courtyard, he suddenly appeared, and I was completely defenseless, and I looked at the man dressed in night clothes as if he was mixed with the night.
He didn't remove the cover from his face, but I recognized him at a glance, and his temperament was very different from others.
I've seen the Secret Guard shoot, so I'm familiar with the temperament of those people who are very different from ordinary people.
At this moment, I thought about it again, and my eyes were fixed on the little thing I was holding in my hand.
In the moonlight, it rested on my outstretched palm, and I still looked at it with some curiosity.
Just like the first time I saw it, there was a small thing in the palm of my hand that looked very delicate.
I'm talking about instruments like piccolo.
I picked it up and looked into the moonlight, and I could clearly see the hollowed-out part of it.
I looked at the small holes on it repeatedly, and the whole size was no more than a leaf.
When I was asked if it could blow the Secret Guard...... The man was smiling in front of me.
But I don't think what I said was funny!
That's right, I think about it, the only person who can turn to and ensure safety and not cause trouble at the moment is the secret guard whose whereabouts have always been mysterious.
As for what I want to ask for, it is obvious that the first thing to do is the topographical map of the house.
As Ah Rong complained, I had no confidence in my ability to recognize the way.
This is not the main street of Northland.
I'm almost dizzy for the small courtyards scattered all over the house and the intricate roads, all kinds of shortcuts.
I'd like to figure out the twists and turns of this place as soon as possible, and preferably from him to determine the route and approximate time of the patrol's movements.
As soon as the thought came to me, it occurred to me that if the Dark Guard was willing to help, it would be an easy thing for him.
It can even be said that no one knows everything here better than the Dark Guard!
My only concern is that he may not be willing to help.
But before leaving, the dark guard made it clear to me that he didn't seem to be talking.
He said that he was going out to run errands today, and that I could wait for him in the forest in the evening.
If you blow this ...... in my hand This "flute", the right to call it so!
He said he would definitely show up.
Anyway, I'm going to give it a try!
I stood in the courtyard for a moment, then turned back to the house where Ah Rong and the others lived, and listened to the movement again.
This time, I'm pretty sure they really slept.
I slowly walked to the west side of the courtyard gate, opened the courtyard door very lightly, the cold wind outside blew in, I stood at the door and hesitated, and finally walked out!
...... Yuan Xiu and the gardener had just finished dinner, and before the two of them even had time to clean up, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the path in the forest outside.
At first, Yuan Xiu hadn't heard it, thinking it was the wind outside!
Soon, the footsteps reached the gate of the courtyard, and then the sound of the attendant speaking sounded outside the courtyard gate, Yuan Xiu and his grandfather glanced at each other, and immediately went out to investigate.
The attendants who came were usually working beside Lady Liu, and when he saw Yuan Xiu, he stood in the wind and shivered a few times and said, "It's really cold this day!" ā
Yuan Xiu hurriedly invited him in, and soon, the gardener heard the movement and came over.
When the three of them arrived in the house, Yuan Xiu brought hot tea for the attendant, he took a few sips, suppressed the cold air and looked at the gardener and said, "It's so late, I'm sorry to disturb your ......."
"What's the matter with you?"
Yuan Xiu looked at him curiously and asked.
The attendant glanced at her and said, "Master Liu sent me here, saying that he would pick two pots of flowers from the greenhouse." ā
"Isn't it your majesty's study?"
Yuan Xiu glanced at the gardener and asked with a little surprise on his face.
The attendant shook his head: "I don't know where to send it, but Lord Liu said that he wanted me to take a look." ā
"Since that's the case, we can't delay."
When the gardener stood up, his body shook, and a discerning person could tell that his leg was not quite right!
Yuan Xiu hurriedly ran over and reached out to help the gardener, and then she frowned and looked at the attendant.
Yuan Xiu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my grandfather has had a leg problem these days, and he plans to go to the pharmacy on the street to have a look when he goes out to run errands tomorrow morning." ā
The attendant stepped forward and said a few words of reassurance, then looked at the gardener and said, "What Lord Liu said, I also know, if you agree...... Why don't you let Ah Xiu help you go? ā
Yuan Xiu heard him say politely, and was grateful, and hurriedly responded: "It must be." ā
"It's something that Lord Liu ordered, so why don't we do it."
Yuan Xiu looked at the gardener and saw that his grandfather nodded, so he turned his head to look at the attendant and said earnestly: "Why don't you follow me to the conservatory?" ā
"Let's pick two pots on the shelf."
She blinked, looked at the attendant and said, "If you want to talk about sending flowers, we might as well be safer." ā
