Chapter 320: One after another
After hearing this, the female officer looked at Gu Qimei in surprise and asked, "Qimei, have you seen the messenger?" ”
The news itself was a surprise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unexpectedly, during the investigation of the night attack on the Northland, the opposing camp would actually send messengers over, and its intention is food for thought.
Gu Qimei nodded, glanced at her, and said in a calm tone: "Earlier, His Majesty was also in the study......
Gu Qimei said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "When the messenger came, His Majesty happened to be discussing matters. ”
"I went to see them."
Gu Qimei looked at the female official and said calmly: "The letter was given to me first, and then I handed it to Your Majesty by hand." ”
"Your Majesty has seen it...... How so? ”
The female officer hesitated, looked at Gu Qimei and asked again.
Gu Qimei shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, Your Majesty didn't say much after reading the letter. ”
"The two messengers who came, are they still here?"
The female officer asked tentatively.
"It's still there," Gu Qimei paused, her eyes fell on the distance of the corridor, and she said in a low voice, "If you want to meet...... Yes, too. ”
Gu Qimei could guess the female official's thoughts, so she answered the boat.
After hesitating, the female official looked at Gu Qimei and whispered, "That's it...... I'll wait until I go to see His Majesty first and ask His Majesty what he means before I decide. ”
She really wanted to meet the people who came from the princess's side, but she was not without worries.
After weighing it, the female officer still made a decision.
"Okay, it's safer."
Gu Qimei has no reason to object, if it were her, it should be the same choice, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
She watched as the female officer walked all the way in the direction of the imperial study, and stopped alone for a moment by the corridor, and then went to the side room where the messenger was now.
Shi Cai met with the two of them, including the process of delivering the letter, and there were only a few words of conversation between Gu Qimei and the messenger.
The other party was first curious about Gu Qimei's identity, and after it was confirmed, they were overjoyed, looking forward to building a bridge with the empress through her.
If things can go smoothly, the letter can be delivered to the empress, and it can be said through Gu Qimei's mouth, the whole thing will be more convincing in the eyes of the two messengers.
Gu Qimei thought that the angle of things was different from theirs, and she only felt that there were actually some words that she hadn't asked clearly in a hurry.
She thought that no one was going to meet the messenger at this moment, so it was better to make another trip now.
Regarding the night attack on the camp, according to her opinion at this time, the empress should have made a decision in her heart, and most of them believed it.
The letter worked.
Otherwise, according to the understanding of taking care of Qimei and the empress's consistent style, she read the letter as soon as she received it, and if she felt that it was completely untrustworthy, she would not stay at all.
I won't ask the two people in the study!
Gu Qimei turned around on the corridor and couldn't help but sigh.
According to this speculation, the person who may have the most headache is not the empress, and of course it will not be the princess, but the eldest sister of the Gu family who is still stationed in the front-line camp of the Northland battlefield at this time.
The temperature in the mountains was extremely low, and they stayed in the front-line camps, and the battle was delayed, and it was the generals of the Sealand royal division who suffered.
If you have to add some people, then it is naturally the princess's soldiers.
Both sides are facing bad weather, and there is a shortage of doctors and medicines.
If the follow-up supply is a little behind, it must be a thing that makes General Gu very depressed.
What the eldest sister was thinking at this time, Gu Qimei had no way of knowing.
As she walked down the corridor, her gaze fell again into the distance, and after a moment, she withdrew her gaze and saw that the house where the two messengers were waiting was nearing the end.
The two of them should have been waiting in a hurry since Gu Qimei delivered the letter.
However, Gu Qimei thought of the previous conversation, changed her mind and temporarily changed her mind.
She turned and walked again towards the room where the recruit was.
Gu Qimei decided to confirm some details of what happened in the camp that was attacked last night before going to meet the messenger.
Because the messenger also arrived suddenly, they affected her timely interrogation of the recruits.
Gu Qimei said in her heart that things still have to come one by one.
...... Seeing that the boy was actually close to the waterfall, the guards who followed him almost shouted!
If it weren't for the fact that his companion immediately grabbed him and signaled him to be quiet, he would have rushed over.
The boy walked straight to the waterfall, where he was sure to be wet with the splashing mist.
The guard swallowed the words to his lips, turned to look at his companion and asked, "You say...... Does the young master really want to go to the waterfall? ”
The companion hurriedly reached out and patted his arm again, and said, "Just go and see if there is a way out." ”
Hearing this, the guard stood there, staring blankly ahead, and said, "What other way can there be under the waterfall?" ”
I'm afraid it's hard to stand firm.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his companion, waiting for him to answer.
His companion looked at him helplessly with the same eyes as an idiot, and after a pause, he had to explain: "When I was in Xilanan...... There was a trip to follow the young master to do a mission. ”
"On the way, I once met a waterfall blocking the way."
Hearing this, the guard stared at him and asked, "Same as here?" ”
"Well, sort of," replied his companion, "to tell you the truth, it turned out to be the way I found behind the waterfall, and there was an entrance to the cave. ”
His companion's gaze swept forward, and he continued, "Of course it's a little different, it's not as cold as it was here. ”
The companion's tone changed: "Besides, it's not a forbidden place in the mountains where no one lives, at least I've met a lot of people on the mountain roads." ”
The guard frowned and stared at him and asked, "This kind of place is rare in the first place, where would there be so many, if it weren't for the purpose of probing the situation, the young master would definitely not come here easily." ”
He didn't even say that there was still business in Suzhou at this time! I guess I'm too busy to deal with it!
After all, the boy came to Northland...... Until the mountains explore...... It's all inseparable from that son.
The guards knew that the companions they were sending out at this moment should be operating in various camps in the mountains near Northland.
He thought to himself, if he really couldn't find any clues about that son, what would his little master do at that time?
As soon as he was distracted, his companion saw the movement in front of him, and immediately grabbed him and said, "I really said it!" ”
The guard was pulled back to his thoughts for a second, and looked fixedly in the direction of the waterfall...... Where is there still a trace of their own little master!
After a while, the companion beside him looked at him fixedly and said, "Let's go too." ”
He lowered his head and thought about it and said, "There must be a way to go after the waterfall, the young master has already passed now." ”
...... The female officer entered the imperial study and walked out after a long time.
This time she was ordered to bring the recruit who had seen the suspicious during the night raid on the camp to the Imperial Study.
With the attendant leading the way, the female officer hurried to the place where the recruits were waiting.
The squire walking in front of her couldn't help but glance back at her on the corridor and said, "That recruit...... Master Gu had already asked before, but unfortunately he walked away halfway through the question. ”
The attendant said, "Later, Master Gu walked away, and he stayed in the house and waited!" ”
The female officer thought about it, and then opened her mouth to ask the attendant, "Where is the messenger that Master Gu said to be staying temporarily?" ”
The attendant rolled his gaze to her, then pointed in a direction in the courtyard and said, "Take the corridor and pass through the small door." ”
"In the courtyard opposite the small door, in the middle of the room, the messenger was delivered...... Over there. ”
Hearing this, the female officer glanced in the direction he pointed, then nodded and said, "Thank you, I'll have to go over and ask later." ”
...... After the recruits left Gu Qimei, they had been staying in the house anxiously and waiting.
At this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps in the corridor, and he subconsciously reminded himself not to panic, and then moved his steps to the door.
Soon, the female officer walked in, and the recruit looked a little surprised when he saw her.
The female officer looked at him again, and the other party was wearing the usual clothes in the army, and he was inconspicuous in the first-line camp in the Northland.
The female officer looked at him thoughtfully, then asked him, "You are an eyewitness to the night attack on the camp?" ”
The recruit nodded, hesitated for a moment before responding, "Yes." ”
"Your Majesty asked you to come over, I have something to ask you."
"Yes, sir."
He honestly agreed.
The female officer looked at him again, it seemed that Gu Qimei had asked before, so this person looked a little calmer, unlike those who came back to the mansion for the first time.
As everyone knows, the recruits are also trying their best to hide their emotions.
Gu Qimei mentioned one thing when she talked to him before, if someone comes to take him away next or His Majesty wants to see him in person...... The most important thing to pay attention to is attitude.
He had to keep his composure no matter what.
Because that's the least likely way to make mistakes.
As for the content of the questioning...... Gu Qimei told him that he just had to tell the truth.
The recruit looked back at this time, and he was grateful to Gu Qimei in his heart.
People are kind enough to remind themselves.
The recruits also heard some rumors in the front-line barracks and knew that Master Gu...... I heard that she is still General Gu's little sister, and she is not very old at the side of the empress in the imperial study!
...... The squire is still at the forefront.
The female officer looked at the recruits and said, "Your Majesty wants to see you to inquire about last night's camp. ”
After thinking for a few seconds, the female officer whispered to the recruit: "When Your Majesty asks, you don't have to worry, think carefully when answering questions, and then say what you see and know!" ”
The recruit glanced at her in surprise.
The female officer, as well as Gu Qimei, both of them said similar things...... He hastened to answer.
On the way to the house, he was very worried about the road ahead, but he didn't expect that after arriving at the destination, both Gu Qimei and the female official in front of him were very easy to talk to.
"My lord, I only say what I see and know."
When the female officer heard this, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, just do what you say." ”
...... Walking all the way to the door of the imperial study, the female officer stepped forward.
The attendant consciously retreated to the side.
When they arrived, the recruits looked nervous.
The female officer noticed it, turned around and reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have remembered all the reminders before, right?" ”
The recruit nodded, and the female officer knocked on the door and led him in.
Following behind the female officer, the recruits didn't even dare to come out.
When they arrived near the empress's desk in the imperial study, they heard the female officer come forward to answer, and the recruits stayed where they were.
Glancing over the recruit standing below, the Empress took in his reaction, but instead of asking a question immediately, she raised her head and looked at him carefully for a moment.
Later, the empress first asked a completely unrelated question.
She looked at the recruit and said, "You're not from the Northlands, where are you from?" ”
The female officer stood aside, taken aback when she saw this, and inevitably felt a little strange in her heart.
In the perception of the female official, the empress has a lot of things, and it is a bit strange that she is willing to meet this person in person.
After hearing the empress's question, her doubts deepened.
Later, she saw the flustered appearance of the recruits, and hurriedly answered: "Your Majesty, this person was conscripted into the army in Nanhua Town. ”
The recruit slowly calmed down, thinking about what Gu Qimei had told him, he lowered his head and replied, "People from Nanhua Town." ”
The empress's eyes moved slightly.
Seeing the other party's uneasy mood, it was only after a moment that the empress's voice sounded in the study: "Tell me what happened last night...... Tell me about it. ”
The recruit straightened his back slightly.
He tried to calm down and began to say what he had said to Gu Qimei to the empress.
Outside, the weather was dripping with ice, but the temperature inside the study was not low.
The recruit stood opposite the empress, sweating even in his palms.
...... The two guards of the Yuwen family looked forward together and slowly approached the waterfall.
At this moment, the little master of his own family was gone.
The guard stood still, silently reaching out to touch the waterfall that flowed down the mountain.
In just a few seconds, the two people who approached were stained with moisture.
The guards knew that it had snowed in the Northland not long ago, but the waterfall had flowed down from the mountains and had not frozen in the middle of winter.
When his hand touched the water of the waterfall, he clearly felt the heat.
The temperature of the water flowing through the mountains in this area is relatively high, and the boy has already mentioned it, so it seems that there must be a heat source nearby.
The mountains of South Zealand also have a similarly peculiar topography.
Not only does this water not freeze in winter, but according to Dr. Silanan, it also has healing properties.
But right now, it's a forbidden area in the Northland Mountains, and no one can use even the best mountain spring water.
The guard's mind turned around, and he couldn't help but show a look of regret.
...... The guard retracted his thoughts, and immediately saw that his companion had not said a word, and had taken a step forward to the waterfall himself. (To be continued.) )
