Yuan Xiu looked at me and smiled bitterly: "Xiaolin, I still have to go to the backyard to deliver this!" ”

After speaking, she deliberately pointed to the nearest big tree in the forest outside the west gate of the small courtyard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If she hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it.

When Yuan Xiu came, she didn't come empty-handed, but also came with a wooden box.

Now the box is still under the tree!

I looked at the box, stayed on it for a moment, then turned my head and asked Yuan Xiu, "Which side of this box is the flowers and plants?" ”

As soon as I thought about it, I suddenly realized...... Something seems wrong!

Yuan Xiu mentioned just now that he was going to ...... Backyard?!

My heart was beating faster, I looked at Yuan Xiu and paused, and deliberately said in a flat tone: "I have to let you run to deliver it so late?" ”

"Well, Xiaolin, it turns out that my grandfather was doing all this work."

Yuan Xiu looked away, his eyes flashed and he lowered his head and explained to me: "It's just that he has bad legs and feet these days, and you know it." ”

"I'll help deliver flowers and plants a few times."

Yuan Xiu continued by himself: "Last time, I went to the small courtyard to send flowers and plants to Lady Liu, and once I went to His Majesty's imperial study, but there was a discussion inside, and I couldn't go in." ”

"The flowers and plants will be handed over to the attendants to be placed."

Yuan Xiu paused, looked at me and continued: "It's okay to say elsewhere, if you are not in a hurry, we will wait for the next morning to send it, but tonight it is the flowers and plants that the National Teacher asked us to send." ”

"That's a must-go!"

I looked at her in amazement, and it turned out that I had heard correctly.

Where is she going...... That's right!

...... In the cold wind, the moonlight spilled on the ground through the gaps in the leaves.

In the darkness of the night, a figure walked through the corridor in the courtyard where lanterns were hung.

He walked all the way through the courtyard, and he was very familiar with the terrain in this area, in fact, he had only been in Northland for a few days.

However, these things were originally what anyone in the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion was good at, and it was really difficult for them.

At this time, it was getting late at night, and the attendants and palace maids who often saw shuttling back and forth in the courtyard during the day were gone, and there were almost no people walking around in the courtyard.

Only by chance will you see one or two attendants or palace maids passing by, most of them in a hurry and have their own destinations.

When he walked to the area far away from the empress's daily life, there was no one in sight on the path in the courtyard.

...... At night, there would be patrols coming and going in the house, walking along an almost fixed route, keeping an eye on the movements in the house.

He was equally familiar with the path taken by the night guards in the courtyard.

Therefore, when they come out, they will cleverly avoid those positions that may bump into them.

Walking around the house, especially under the eyes of the empress, there should still be some caution, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to yourself.

Even if the strength of the people in the Jade Pavilion is far above the people who guard the mansion, they don't have the hobby of provoking an inexplicable fight.

To say that the way they entered the mansion was relatively hidden, at this juncture when the war in the Northland was about to begin, the situation in the area of Northland Town was chaotic.

Come prepared and go to the area of Northland Town to do tasks.

...... As a group of night guard passed by, he emerged from behind the tree and briskly folded under another winding corridor.

After walking for a while, he walked through the rockery.

He hesitated slightly at the fork in the road, but quickly made a decision, this time he detoured to a courtyard where the female officials of the courtyard lived.

As he passed by the neighborhood, he stopped to take a few looks.

Footsteps ringed in my ears...... He flew under the eaves and hid directly behind a pillar.

It's not too far from the woods, and even if anyone comes, he'll be able to get out of it quickly.

By seeing your surroundings and choosing the right place, you can avoid those keen sights.

Of course, the biggest reliance is on excellent skills.

...... The two of them sat at a small table in the room and played against each other.

In the afternoon, the chess game was lost because of the unexpected arrival of the craftsman, and the chess game was not very smooth at that time.

The companion sitting opposite him raised his head and glanced at the person in front of him.

To be honest, she didn't expect that Lady Liu would be in the mood to find herself to continue the game of chess after nightfall.

It seems to be an indescribable weirdness!

At this moment, looking at the person opposite, the gaze of her companion fell on her face several times, and he always looked at her from time to time, trying to see what was wrong!

Unlike in the afternoon, the two played against each other, and now sitting at the table looking at the chess pieces on the board, the absent-minded person was the companion himself.

Female Officer Liu met her gaze, saw her companion's suspicious look clearly, and then saw her make a mistake, so she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why is your mind not on the chessboard at this time?" ”

"What's going on?"

The companion sitting across from her looked up at her suspiciously.

After careful observation, I saw that her expression was indeed different from when she spoke in the afternoon, and when the craftsman came to her, the person in front of her was clearly preoccupied.

The companion stared at her for a moment and said, "I have to ask you about this, has the previous problem been solved?" ”

The companion was always looking at Lady Liu's expression as he spoke, and he really wanted to see a hint from her face.

It's a pity that she also knows that the possibility is very small, because they are all elves in the house, and it is not a day or two to follow the empress.

If you want to deliberately cover it up, ordinary people really can't see through their subtle expressions.

Female official Liu held a chess piece in her hand and landed another piece on the chessboard.

She lowered her head and lowered her voice: "The master craftsman came to ask, and I gave a good advice according to the meaning of the above." ”

She paused, looked at her companion and continued: "If you want to say that it is completely resolved, it is naturally difficult to say, but it can be regarded as a temporary suppression. ”

The companion frowned when he heard this, looked at her and continued to ask, "Or did you tell me a word or two, that is, ...... The problem? ”

The companion didn't hear Lady Liu's response, and continued later: "When I asked, you were quite vague. ”

Her gaze swept over the chessboard, and then she said, "I think about it, it must have something to do with the National Teacher." ”

"Don't mention it if you're embarrassed, I'm worried that it's not safe for me to know too much!"

The game paused, and the two looked at each other.

Female Officer Liu looked at her companion and smiled bitterly, shook her head, and said with a little helplessness in her tone: "Actually, according to me, if you really want to hide it completely, you should bring the original craftsman with you." ”

"Since it was selected from the army in the future, of course it is right to have doubts."

Lady Liu's words are from the heart, if you want to say that since you had that kind of idea when you designed this car in the national capital, you must avoid repairing it again after arriving in the north.

The problem is that the road conditions are worse than expected, and the worst ones are not the ones that have been passed before.

What does that mean? This means that the road from Northland Town to the first-line camp is very difficult to walk.

If the car is not maintained, there is a risk of an accident on the way.

If you want to say how you know about this matter, before Lady Liu, a few female officials who know a little bit about the work of craftsmen, have seen it, they have already been poked out by another attendant in the mansion who followed his family before entering the palace.

The man has now been removed and is missing.

The companion on the other side heard some rumors, and said that the man used to do chores in the courtyard outside Penglai Pavilion, and it was not as rumored outside that he broke into the backyard.

Instead, there was a more urgent inside story, but unfortunately since the man left, these things have disappeared.

The only thing to be taboo is that the people in the house are more cautious and dare not go to the forbidden place at will.

Yes, the location of the National Teacher is a forbidden place in the eyes of everyone!

The companion looked at her quietly and listened to her continue: "The person was recommended by General Han and selected from the camp......

As female official Liu spoke, her expression darkened a little, and she paused before she said: "That person has been a craftsman for a long time, and his skills are not bad, if he can't see it, it's not normal!" ”

Hearing this, the companion raised his head and looked at her after thinking about it, and said, "I have also heard that the people who come to the mansion are all people selected by General Han, and if they can be sent to His Majesty, I think he must be serious in his work." ”

The companion said earnestly to her, "You don't have to worry too much. ”

"Even if it is related to the National Teacher, you and I can't make the decision."

"The idea is all from His Majesty, she decides, let's just ......"

The companion stopped and looked at Lady Liu, although the latter nodded, his expression still didn't look good, and his tone was even more blunt: "I don't know what you said? ”

"It's all right, but when I think about it, I still feel very good in my heart!"

A trace of confusion flashed in his companion's eyes, and he looked at her and said, "Tell me, why are you bothered, if you are really embarrassed, you can not mention it." ”

Her gaze shifted to the small table in front of her, and she stretched out her finger and said in a different tone: "But I look at the game of chess in front of me, and I have to be in the soup again." ”

"It's either that you're distracted, or I can't calm down, and it looks very uncomfortable!"

After a moment of silence, the two men in the room looked at each other again.

The companion said with emotion: "It is not easy for General Gu to be on the front line, why don't we be in the rear?" ”

Lady Liu stared at her, thought for a moment and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Do you want to ask me? Let me tell you, I went to the imperial study in the afternoon, and His Majesty mentioned to me the matter of hoarding food in the army. ”

The companion lowered his voice and said, "There is a fire in the front-line camp...... Some of the hoarded grain has been burned, and we still have to find a way to mobilize it. ”

"It's easy to say, but the car was delayed halfway because of the rain, and I have to prepare it all at once before the war, where do I want to conjure it up for her, and I'm not a fairy!"

When Lady Liu heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at her companion and couldn't help but smile: "I thought my affairs were difficult, and I didn't think that you would be difficult to do." ”

I said...... You didn't even mention it to me. ”

The companion said angrily: "Didn't I see that you were annoyed? Isn't it blocking you by telling you this?! ”

"And how did you respond?"

After thinking for a few seconds, his companion looked helplessly at the messy chess pieces on the chessboard and was silent.

Lady Liu naturally guessed it, and then looked at her companion opposite and asked, "How can you prevaricate the things that Your Majesty has explained, can't you?" ”

The companion nodded and agreed: "Yes, I plan to send someone out tomorrow morning......"

Hearing this, Lady Liu's eyes turned to her again, with a puzzled look on her face, and she couldn't help asking: "The matter is so urgent, are you still in the mood to play chess?" You're also amazing. ”

"Could it be that you have already found a suitable countermeasure, or have you been preparing for the collection of military rations for a long time?"

Lady Liu looked at her and asked tentatively.

"How is it possible, you really think I am a man of God," the companion's tone became even more helpless, "I have complained to you, why don't you believe me!" ”

His companion's eyes flashed, he glanced out the window, and paused, "I think it...... I can't rush it. ”

"I'm also forced to be calm! You can't mess up by yourself, and you have to arrange for them to do tasks tomorrow morning. ”

She looked at Female Official Liu, lowered her voice again, and said, "On the way I came just now, I saw Mo Yan beside the National Teacher going in the direction of the imperial study, and I am afraid that he was also found by His Majesty." ”

"Maybe I'm going to discuss it."

"By the way, Qimei has another letter, I'll show it to you."

Ms. Liu stood up, walked to the corner of the room, and later took a letter from the shelf and walked back to the small table where the chessboard was placed.

She looked at her companion and said, "When Qimei was leaving, she mentioned to me the things in the house, and asked me to look at it and straighten it out." ”

"There are a few people in the house who are not very restful, and they want to watch a little."

"You're right!"

...... When the patrol passed in the other direction, the figure that came out from behind the shadows of the trees again glanced at the room where the conversation continued.

He walked through the woods outside the courtyard to a secluded place in the courtyard.

The night breeze was cool, and the trip was related to the previous conversation, as well as the craftsman who had been here in the afternoon.

It is said that the three of them live in a separate small courtyard, and the relevant information has been mastered, but when it comes to the car that the young master is riding, he has to go and see it in person to feel appropriate.

He also heard the conversation in the house just now, and the place where the attendants lived was still a little far from the place where Lady Liu and their discussions were.

He came out at night, and he didn't expect to hear some news.

...... I stood where I was, thought about it for a while, glanced at Yuan Xiu, and then walked under the big tree.

I crouched down and reached out my hands to pick up the wooden box.

The box was much heavier than I expected.

Yuan Xiu asked behind me, "Xiaolin, what's wrong with you?" ”

I put down the box, turned my head to look at Yuan Xiu, and after thinking about it, I said, "Yuan Xiu, this box is very heavy to hold...... If you agree......"

She looked at me in surprise.

"Yuan Xiu, I want to go to the backyard with you!!"
