Chapter 309: A Contemptuous Attitude

The squire who was walking in front suddenly turned to look at me. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After a while, the expression on his face immediately changed.

He deliberately stopped, waiting for me to approach.

Master Wan glanced at the attendant a little blankly, and the next second he immediately felt that something was not quite right.

Fortunately, Master Wan reacted quite quickly, and immediately took a step closer to me.

"What are you looking around?"

When the attendant spoke, his tone sounded not as polite as that of a female officer, and he looked extremely impatient.

Seeing this, Master Wan hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game.

Master Wan looked at him and said, "Xiao Lin is the first to come back here, it is inevitable that he will be curious, I will remind him." ”

After speaking, Master Wan glanced at me and signaled me to be calm.

I really didn't want to answer, and I didn't intend to choke with the attendants.

Not long after arriving at the mansion, if there was a dispute, it would be unwise to move even in the eyes of others.

Just listen to the tone of his voice...... I frowned and glanced at the squire.

Even when you go to the Northland Mansion, you can still see the difference in clothes.

I could see what he was wearing.

Not to mention that the female official just now wouldn't talk like this, even if Gu Qimei arrived here, she wouldn't have such a contemptuous attitude.

To be precise...... Gu Qimei's attitude was the most impeccable among the same group of training personnel at that time.

From the beginning of the training camp in the palace, I have known her personality, and her ability to be transferred to the empress has a lot to do with her calm and peaceful personality.

In addition, it is because of the fact that there is a general Gu who is on the front-line battlefield in the north, and she is still her own sister.

Master Wan and I are craftsmen drawn from the camp, which is different from the attendants in the palace.

The mission hasn't started yet!

When I was thinking about how to deal with it, Master Wan stepped forward to say a few soft words to the attendant in order to ease the atmosphere.

I couldn't help frowning, and looked thoughtfully at the two people who were talking, and secretly said in my heart that this was not good.

...... Climbing the rocks is time-consuming and laborious, and looking at the dense mountains and forests that appear in front of you again, it may take a lot of time to explore the way.

The young man's heart was combined, and he turned his head to look at the guard on the side and said, "Stop here and rest for a while." ”

The three of them have had many experiences in Xilannan, and the guards of the Yuwen family have also walked in the wild many times on missions.

It stands to reason that the two guards should be better at adapting to the wild environment than their own little masters.

It's a pity that the scope of their activities in the past is too different from the situation here in the Northland.

The difference between Xilanan and here is too great to be measured together!

With this premise, so far, in the eyes of the two guards, this area, which the Northland mountain people call a forbidden land, is a mystery for them, and they are really worried about the road ahead.

The two have different personalities, and one of the guards behaves more obviously.

The other companion who followed was a slightly calmer personality and played a persuasive role along the way.

The short pause is definitely for the longer road ahead!

The two guards listened to what the boy said, did not object, and immediately stopped and began to rest.

They had just climbed from the rocks, as if they had passed another checkpoint on the way.

However, the guard thought of the core area that his little master had said, and looked at the lush mountains and forests in the distance...... The feeling of being ...... in an instant It's like there's a lot of danger hidden inside.

The boy sat down, took out the water bladder he was carrying, and took a few sips of water.

The two guards each ate a little bit of dry food they had brought.

The young man turned his gaze to them and said, "You can't stay too long along the way. ”

He glanced at the guard out of the corner of his eye, and then explained calmly, "If you wait until it's dark, it's even more difficult to walk. ”

"In case there is a trap on the road ahead...... It will be more troublesome. ”

The guard's back stiffened, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

They know the personality of their little master very well, and they always talk ugly about it first.

The problem is that he just breathed a sigh of relief, and he just said this, hey!

The guard looked at his calm-looking companion and shook his head silently.

...... The boy stood still under the tree, looking ahead in silence.

He carefully recalled in his mind the situation of meeting the mountain people after entering the mountain.

From the trail shortcut mentioned by the other party all the way to the forbidden land, then through the misty forest, and then over the obstacle blocked by mountains and rocks.

He combed through the whereabouts of himself and his two guards, and calmed down to think about his next move.

At present, those who are one step ahead of them have indeed gone to a more remote position.

If there are occasional mountain people near the forbidden land, there is no pattern to follow if you want to go further afield.

For those who are not familiar with the terrain of the Northland, it is undoubtedly a risky act.

Teenagers are not blindly impulsive personalities, and they will think carefully before deciding on things.

It's just that he always felt that this area was unspeakably strange, and of course he was more convinced that those obstacles and mazes were definitely not accidental.

...... He paused again to survey the road ahead.

The young man groaned and turned back to look at the guard, "The misty forest that blocked us just now, the road we walked during this period is only a part of it. ”

When the guard heard this, he immediately looked at the boy.

The young man stopped the topic, he was thinking about the time when he met the mountain people until the mountain people showed the way for the three of them, in fact, it was about the forbidden land...... The other party did not disclose further details.

The topic itself is taboo, and it is simply an area that mountain people do not set foot in on weekdays.

However, the aliens have become interested in this place, and they will certainly not come to explore it for no reason.

There was still a vague suspicion in the boy's heart, that is, about the markings along the way.

None of the two guards who had followed him into the mountains knew anything about the aliens.

Even if it is himself, he is also half-understood.

The young man secretly reminded himself at this moment that when he returned to Northland Town, he must find someone familiar with him and ask in detail.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch a live bite on the road ahead, and things will be much easier.

...... After a moment's pause, the two guards of the Yuwen family exchanged glances.

The young man opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "The information I have now shows that the aliens were haunted in the mountains near the Northland before and after the earthquake. ”

"But there's very little news about this area, almost nothing, and if it weren't for this trip, I wouldn't know how long their hands would have been."

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "But young master, although there are very few people in this area, if you have to pass through the road outside Beidi Town, no matter how careful and cautious the aliens are, they will inevitably meet people who come and go from Master Wang." ”

From the time the empress moved into the mansion in the north of the town, there must have been many more people shuttling between the front camp of the royal division and the town in the north than before.

"In what way do they avoid those people?"

"Once it is detected, won't Master Wang send someone to follow him?"

"yes, that's a question too, unless ......"

The young man's eyes rolled and he hesitated slightly: "There are still hidden shortcuts in the mountains around Beidi Town. ”

"A shortcut that even the king doesn't know?"

The guard asked in surprise after hearing this.

The young man turned his head to look at the guard, and said in a cold tone: "Don't forget that on the way we came, the road we walked was only known to the mountain people, isn't it strange?" ”

The boy retracted his gaze and said, "But these are just assumptions. ”

"Until we catch the aliens, we can't be sure if they are the ones who left the mark."

The young man thought to himself as he walked, and another thought suddenly came to his heart.

If aliens go to the mountains to explore, what is it about this place that will interest them?

In an instant, the boy's mind turned to the deep mountain that he had walked with Xiaoling, and at that time he had discovered the camp built by aliens in the deep mountains.

Could this be the next place they chose to build their camp?

...... Unlike the young man who was constantly fluctuating in his heart, the two guards behind him were all focused on the front.

At this moment, the scene they saw in front of them was somewhat similar to the misty forest they had walked through at the beginning.

After walking for a long time, the guards were hoping that even a little change ahead, at least they could give people a sense of hope for discovering new clues.

It's better than the same view, a bit boring to watch.

...... Before you know it, the light dimmed again.

The guards looked at the young man and had no intention of retreating, so he could only continue to cross the mountains and forests.

This dense forest walked for half an hour, and when a waterfall appeared in front of them, the guards' eyes lit up in an instant.

Finally, as he expected, there was some different scenery.

But then, the road was blocked again, and it seemed that the waterfall in front of it completely cut off the way forward.

The two of them turned their eyes to their little master.

Unexpectedly, the boy just paused slightly, and walked in the direction of the waterfall without looking back.

It looked like you were going to rush to the bottom of a waterfall.

The waterfall that blocks the way is a mountain that flows down from the mountains.

The surrounding area was shrouded in splashing mist.

If it weren't for the fact that it had snowed heavily outside the mountain a few days ago, the guards would have almost forgotten that it was still winter in the Northland.

...... Coming out of the imperial study, Gu Qimei looked in a trance for a moment, standing on the corridor and looking into the distance.

At this time, the sound of footsteps from the outer courtyard interrupted her thoughts.

Gu Qimei looked intently, only to see a figure walking in through the weeping flower door in the distance.

She knew that person, and he was also a female official in the court.

At this time, I am not in the imperial study, and the pressure is naturally much lighter.

Gu Qimei walked down the corridor for a while, and then went down the steps to the courtyard.

When he got close to the female officer, the other party looked at Gu Qimei.

The person had been walking with his head down all the time, looking at the appearance of having something on his mind, needless to say, Gu Qimei could also guess that it was related to the war in the Northland.

In the past few days, she saw officials and generals in the army who came and went, and more than one of them had similar expressions.

stepped forward and stood still, and after a few words of greeting, the female officer looked at Gu Qimei, pointed in the direction of the imperial study, and asked in a low voice, "Is Your Majesty in the study at this time?" ”

"Well, I was talking about things before, and I was there just now, so I should still be here now."

The eldest sister of the Gu family entered the court at about the same time as the female officer who came here, and once served in the north together, but the eldest sister of the Gu family stayed in the army, and the female official was just a scholar.

But as long as you are in the national capital, you will walk around each other during the New Year's holidays, and the relationship is very good.

In Gu Qimei's eyes, these are very familiar people to her, and she is not so restrained when she speaks.

The eldest sister of the Gu family is in a high position and is much more favored than these people who are familiar with Gu Qimei.

In other words, they have a kind attitude towards her, from the time Gu Qimei saw them when she was a child...... This attitude has not changed for more than ten years, and it is really related to the fact that the eldest sister of the Gu family has been reused under the empress.

Now, even the youngest daughter of the Gu family is by the empress's side, how can the female official not be enthusiastic when she sees Gu Qimei!

It's just that today's female official can't get rid of that worried look on her face.

Gu Qimei looked at her a few times, and rarely took the initiative to ask: "Is it for the night attack in the army, and you haven't found out yet, right?" ”

After hearing this, the female officer smiled bitterly: "No, at present, our manpower can provide very little evidence, and those evidences are not enough to point to the fact that this matter was done by the other camp." ”

Gu Qimei hesitated, lowered her voice and said, "I'm afraid it's not ......"

The female officer looked at her in astonishment, and with a turn of her mind, she suddenly remembered that the recruits from the camp had been sent here.

Maybe the person was interrogated by Gu Qimei, but the female officer suddenly became excited, stared at her without blinking her eyes and asked, "Qimei, is there a new clue from the people in the camp?" ”

When the female officer spoke, her tone was a little excited.

She looked at Gu Qimei and took a step closer and said, "If there is really definite news, I have to say it anyway!" ”

Gu Qimei lowered her head and groaned, looked at her and paused, "Over there...... Send a letter and say that this thing was definitely not done by their people. ”

"They hope that His Majesty will investigate thoroughly, and also suggest that after the matter is clarified......"

After saying this, the female officer standing opposite was stunned.

She looked in a trance for a moment, then hurriedly looked at Gu Qimei and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean ......?"

Anyone who is familiar with the eldest sister of the Gu family is very clear about the current status of the two daughters of the Gu family in His Majesty's heart.

Some questions may not be answered by others, but if they are asked about someone like Gu Qimei, who walks in front of the emperor almost every day, the female official is very sure that she can get tangible information from her.

"Your Majesty is still thinking about it," Gu Qimei said in a low voice after thinking about it, "Because this matter is very involved, it is not something that can be drawn casually. ”

She looked to the side of the courtyard, turned her head to look at the female officer, and said, "But right now, the two messengers sent by the other party have arrived here." ”

"Messenger?"

The female officer was slightly stunned, then looked at Gu Qimei in surprise and asked, "Qimei, have you seen them?" (To be continued.) )
