Chapter 67: The Piece on the Chessboard

If it were me, I was afraid that after a short period of travel, my strength would be almost exhausted - Sui-Dream-Novel www.suimeng.lฤ

The boy pursed his lips and fell silent, waving the dagger in his hand to cut through the dead branches that stood in the way of the road.

I guessed that this area should be as little walked as I thought.

The problem is that there are few people in the current state!

It's like no-man's land!

Could it be that the choice just now was wrong, and that the other race should have chosen the path that the alien drove to?

As soon as I hesitated, my steps slowed down.

I didn't expect that the young man who opened the road in front of me would still be able to see the six roads and know it when he walked ahead.

He noticed my hesitation and immediately turned his head to look at me, and then raised his voice a little and urged: "Xiaoling, keep up!" โ€

Emma, here we go again!

That guy is still a familiar password! Still a familiar tone!

It is said that from the last time he followed him in the deep mountains to endure hardships until now, only in this aspect, why didn't he change it?

Today's eldest young master at least knows how to ask the opinions of his companions during the journey, and notices that the mood of the people around him has changed.

Every sign shows that his emotional intelligence is gradually improving, so why do you still call me like that?

Didn't he know that shouting like that would give people the illusion of that? Very unpleasant delusion!

I stared at his back and gritted my teeth.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, and then I followed in extreme depression.

Secretly reminded himself that I must not be left behind this time, otherwise he will definitely say about me.

I don't want to hear those four words anymore!

The moment the young man walking in front looked back just now, he had already seen the man's expression, and at this moment he actually heard the sound of him gritting his teeth.

I don't know why, but the tedious exploration in his eyes suddenly became full of interest.

In the boy's opinion, it seemed that the skinny guy behind him had some kind of ability, and the dull atmosphere would change his movements instantly because of his words.

Xiaoling, that guy, I have an indescribable feeling!

The boy turned his head mischievously and added: "Xiaoling, keep up!" โ€

His voice rang out in the mountains and forests. There was nothing else but the sound of the wind, and the mood was suddenly happy, and the young man's forehead was sweaty, but the corners of his mouth were raised

"Great young master. I said can you stop calling me like that, don't you know it's awkward? โ€

I angrily said to his back.

"What's awkward?" He replied nonchalantly.

"It's awkward everywhere, stop, don't call me like this four words or four words again!"

"Otherwise"

The boy turned his head for a second. Stopping on the spot, I walked too fast and almost crashed over.

"How else?"

I can't speak.

"Can you beat me? Xiaoling? โ€

I hung my head, took a deep breath, snatched the dagger from his hand, and walked ahead to start the way.

The branches were lying horizontally, and it was really tiring to cut them, and it didn't take long for the boy to step forward and grab them again.

"Okay, I'm really careful, it's just a shout at you. I'm coming!"

I stared at his back depressedly, wiped my sweat and followed, secretly saying that this time it should stop!

I think of the mansion in the east of Suzhou City, and the eldest young master of the Yuwen family should not catch the rabbit the most, but to satisfy his hobby of shouting passwords!

The mountains and forests are dense, and the young man chose to take the road and continue to the northeast.

The wind blowing in the forest blows on your face, and you can feel the chill of midwinter.

It's hard to see that the trees here can grow so green, it's a miracle.

After walking for a short while, the dagger in the young man's hand was clearly insufficient.

Not long after, he broke off a branch from a tree beside the road.

Now it's a combination of both. When a branch or bush obstructed him, he would directly swing his dagger and cut it down.

When he came across a place with a lot of weeds, he used the branch in his hand to pull it away.

He walked at a slower pace, but still in an orderly manner.

The young man's expression was also very calm. I followed him, not daring to drop a single step.

Originally, I thought that when he talked about Huya Village, he deliberately emphasized the road with few people, and maybe you could see the village soon after walking on the mountain road!

At least that's what I thought when he made the decision.

Who knows that he has followed him all the way to the present, let alone a house. Not even a temporary shelter for hunters to shelter from the rain.

I remember following him on his trek through the mountains, at least on the way I would see the kind of huts I mentioned above, which were used by hunters to take shelter from the rain.

It's a pity that I haven't seen this area, is it because there are so few people, so few that there are no mountain people hunting?

Thinking about the uncle and aunt, they can live in such a remote place for decades, and their hearts are really sure!

Along the way, don't expect to meet people on the road! Not even a rabbit!

I thought about it for a moment, and when I looked up, it was still a dense mountain forest, and I couldn't see the end at a glance.

But there is one thing that the tsundere boy reminded me of, and now I pay attention to it, and I realize that it is indeed what he said.

The route we walked was actually slowly walking towards the top of the mountain, and the altitude gradually increased.

The boy led me through the woods, and even though he was leading the way, my hair was covered with leaves from the woods, and there were a lot of grass clippings.

I reached down and threw it away, there was no mirror, but as you can imagine the appearance of me must have been quite wolf.

No wonder the tsundere boy looked back with a smile on the corner of his mouth several times, compared to my wolf bรจi, he was obviously much more refreshing

Finally waiting for the figure to walk away, Mo Yan immediately turned his head.

He stood by the stream, still holding the box sent by the empress earlier, and in accordance with the wishes of his son-in-law, he tried his best to block those "idle people" outside the big tent.

Anyone who doesn't have the eyesight to disturb the child, Mo Yan will classify them as an unpopular category in his heart.

sent the one away, Mo Yan still didn't look a little happy.

At this moment, he was just thinking in his heart, when he arrived in the Northland, he must find a proper place to stay, away from those who bothered him.

Even he felt that it was difficult, not to mention that he had to bother his son?

Those people didn't have any eyes at all, and Ruo Gongzi wanted to see them. Will you wait until now?!

Mo Yan's footsteps ran outside the big tent like flying.

He steadied himself, lightened his steps and walked in slowly.

When Yun Chu saw him come in, he smiled faintly and said, "Gone?" "Childe, she sent it personally." Mo Yan lowered his head and handed over the box in his hand.

He glanced at it. There is a faint smell of medicine, and it must be where to find rare medicinal materials.

Yun Chu's gaze swept over the box in his hand, and he moved his fingers slightly with a smile.

Mo Yan understood, walked to the corner of the big tent, and put the box on a few cases

Inside the big tent. The Empress sat there depressed.

The attendant carefully spread out the chessboard in front of her, and after a few moments, the empress sighed and sat up straight.

In a short time, someone from outside came and waited outside the tent.

The empress summoned him, and as soon as the man entered, he saw a multitude of chess pieces on the chessboard.

Someone else might just look at it, but the person in the problem army was particularly keen, and he noticed something strange on the chessboard at a glance.

That's right, it's like a map, he looks at it with wide eyes. It was only after a few moments that he reacted, and his gaze turned to the empress.

"Your Majesty," he said with a hint of hesitation in his tone, and the Empress beckoned him to sit across from him.

Then, she pointed to the chessboard and said, "Accompany me for the next game." โ€

When the man first came in, he saw that the empress was in a bad mood, and her eyebrows were deeply locked, as if there was something troublesome.

He glanced over the desk and saw a pile of news from the flying pigeons outside.

Some of those letters were scattered, some of them were opened and read, and now seeing the empress's gloomy face, what else did not understand?

can make Majesty Xiร  so annoying. It must have something to do with the Northland War.

Looking at the chessboard in front of him again, it was not his Majesty's plan

He looked hesitant, but sat down as he said and waited for the child to fall.

The Empress had already noticed it. Glancing up at him.

Her gaze fell on the man's nervous face, and the empress was settled.

She dropped a shot on the chessboard, looked up at the direction outside the account, and the expression between her brows was slightly soothed.

Just when she was playing chess, she said in a low voice: "The matter over there in Nanhua Town must not be delayed. โ€

After a pause, she continued with three more words. "Pioneer Battalion!"

The person sitting on the other side glanced at her and nodded quickly

In the forest closest to the big tent, a beautiful figure stood in the forest, bowing her head and contemplating.

Passing through the path through the woods, there is a military camp not far away.

A female officer walked through the forest and saw the beautiful figure under the tree, and when she saw the person clearly, she was stunned.

Soon she walked over, an official who had been transferred back to the empress from the North.

This time, I went to the Northland with him, and I was very familiar with the eldest sister in front of me, it was none other than Gu Qimei, who was transferred by the empress to the side and went to the Northland together.

Gu Qimei withdrew from her contemplation, and when she saw the female official who came closer, she immediately stood up straight, stepped forward and said hello with a smile.

She knew that the other party was a female official who had returned and promoted not long ago, and like her, it didn't take long for her to be promoted.

She followed the empress from the capital of Sealand all the way to this place.

The journey along the way was slow, and the gossip circulating in the army was heard a lot.

Looking at the man's expression at this time, most of them wanted to come up and get some inside information.

Gu Qimei said in her heart that she was afraid that she would be disappointed.

They don't know the bottom of their hearts, is she herself a bamboo in her chest?

After a few words of greeting, the female official whispered to Gu Qimei and asked, "Your Majesty is here now" "Your Majesty went to discuss things with the National Teacher, and I am resting in the tent at this time." โ€œ

Gu Qimei answered truthfully, and when she came back, she saw more than one pair of eyes in the camp, which was not a secret in itself.

is reasonable, Gu Qimei's attitude towards the female officials who have stayed with her eldest sister in the Northland is very modest.

In front of them, she is equivalent to a small character, these people are older than her, and they look similar to their eldest sister.

Most of the officials who used to serve in the Northland had good relationships.

Those female officials returned to Beijing far more often than her eldest sister, and the family remembered that the eldest sister was worried about her life in the Northland, and most of the news of the eldest sister's stay in the Northland depended on the letters they sent.

Although when it comes to her status in the army, her eldest sister's title is much higher than theirs.

Not only the person in front of him, but also the people who wanted to inquire about Gu Qimei for the past few days.

She's all used to it, and her rhetoric is pretty much the same when dealing with them.

The other party naturally knew Gu Qimei's subtle identity now.

Speaking of which, she was the only one who the Empress always had with her and would definitely take her to the Northland.

The female officer's attitude was particularly enthusiastic when she faced Gu Qimei

After dealing with the officials who came to listen to the news, Gu Qimei restrained her expression and slowly walked towards the empress's big tent.

Half an hour ago, the former official went to the area of Nanhua Town to plan for the affairs of the vanguard camp of the army.

Gu Qimei understands this very well.

The empress had been looking bad since she came back from the National Teacher, and she had summoned the official before, but it was not clear if the situation in Nanhua Town had changed.

Gu Qimei couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought of this, in fact, those who came to spy on the news also misunderstood.

Although she is very close to the empress, from the palace to the current march, who can know the mind of His Majesty!

Including the national teacher who couldn't even meet in person, who could know what the two of them discussed?

Speaking of which, she is also like others, confused in her heart, and there is no one who can solve her puzzles.

When Gu Qimei approached the big tent, she happened to hear the sound of cracking inside

The mountain wind blew and suddenly felt a chill, and not long after the crisp sound of porcelain breaking, the gray-faced attendant ran out.

Seeing Gu Qimei, he bowed his head and hurried over after saluting.

She could see the plate in the squire's hand, the broken porcelain shard.

It seems that things are really going extremely badly, and Gu Qimei has a thought in her heart, could it be that there is something in Nanhua Town?

But how could the affairs of the pioneer camp be so ineffective when local officials helped them to do it?

She paused outside the tent before hearing footsteps coming out of the tent.

This time, it was the official who had been assigned to do the work who walked out of the tent with a disgraced face.

Seeing Gu Qimei outside, he smiled helplessly and made a gesture to her.

It was indeed wrong, Gu Qimei saw his gesture clearly, stood outside the tent and thought for a moment before hesitating.

In the end, she still didn't disturb the empress, but waited quietly outside the tent

A moment later, the empress's voice sounded inside, naturally calling her in.

The empress knew that Gu Qimei had advanced and retreated, and she also knew that she had walked outside the tent and waited.

In her opinion, Gu Qimei has many advantages, and this is one of them.

Gu Qimei walked in and saw the empress standing next to several cases with a very unhappy expression. (To be continued.) )
