Bao Shan looked at Qing Zhi and said, "When I left, she was still here." ”

Qing Zhi closed the lid of the wooden box and added a lock on it.

She and Bao Shan worked together to lift the box to the cabinet in the corner of the room, and it took some effort to put it on the top of the cabinet.

"The storeroom of the flower garden has not been completed yet, and I have to take stock of the remaining things in it these days."

"The wooden box will be placed here for the time being, and when the warehouse is ready, I will ask Master Yuan to help bring it over."

Qingzhi walked to the door, glanced into the courtyard, looked at Baoshan and said, "Gu Lan doesn't know where she went?" "I came from the place where the palace banquet was, and I didn't see her, so I shouldn't have been called to help." "Sister, how is that possible?" Baoshan couldn't help but pull up the corners of his mouth and said, "How can there be someone who can't get through Sister Guò directly." "The steward at the flowerbed hasn't changed." "Besides, this place in Penglai Pavilion, it will take some trouble for His Majesty to come in, where is the people under your lord's command who can enter and exit at will." "In my opinion, sister, Gu Lan went out by herself." "Are you looking for the sisters who came in at the same time?"

Qingzhi frowned and said: "Xiaoling is missing, there are two left besides her, one is in His Majesty's study, almost inseparable from His Majesty." "The other one is the little girl in the Lin De Palace." "These two people don't have a chance to meet Gu Lan today." "In the study, I've heard a lot of letters from the Northland these days, and another herald has arrived. How could she be free? "Not to mention the Lin De Palace, the emperor is not very happy because of Xiaoling's matter. In the past few days, the people under His Royal Highness Lin De have been trembling, how can they come out and meet and chat with people at will. “

After Qingzhi took stock in a low voice, she raised her head and looked at Baoshan and said, "I can't think of where she will run to." "You came from the construction site of the flower garden, and you didn't see her over there or in the woods along the road, did you?" "No, sister," Bosun denied. "The people in the construction department are busy, Master Yuan is with the apprentices in our small courtyard, Gu Lan really didn't see it." "No matter. After dinner, I had to go out to the palace banquet. “

Qing Zhi speculated that it would be about the time when the palace banquet began today. "Our national teacher here has fallen ill and hasn't woken up, Mo Yan told me to let me bring a few attendants to see if I can go over there to help." "Originally, His Majesty planned to hand over the matter of the palace banquet to our Penglai Pavilion and Lin De Palace," Qing Zhi's tone changed. His eyes darkened. "It's a pity that the national teacher is not in good health, so he can only put this matter on your head." "The lord of Penglai Pavilion doesn't have the time to go, and the people below always have to do their best."

Qing Zhi said this, paused, turned his head to look at the sky outside the window and said, "Baoshan, come over and take a look, is it going to change the sky?" "I don't think it's a little foggy, and the sun in the sky is gone."

Bao Shan heard this. Walk briskly to the window and push it all the way down. Raising his eyes, he nodded and said, "Maybe, my sister also had fog in the palace last night, and she couldn't see clearly at night, so it's a little strange these days." ”

"Didn't God know that the North was going to war, and it wasn't peaceful." Qingzhi said with emotion.

"How do you know, Baoshan, I saw you all right at night, and you didn't even go out."

Qing Zhi's eyes turned on Bao Shan's face, and after silence, she asked in a low voice.

"Sister, I went to the flower garden construction site, and it happened that Master Yuan was discussing with the people in the repair office, and it was not easy to repair our house when it was windy and rainy."

"The master of the repair department said that there was a lot of fog last night, and it seems that the weather today is not very good."

"I see." Qing Zhi nodded, "The masters of the construction department are better at looking at the weather than us, and the work they have in their hands often has to choose a day because of the weather. ”

"Sister, I'm afraid the war in the Northland is the same."

Bosun walked to the door, closed the door, and peeked into the courtyard through the window.

At this time, the attendants of Penglai Pavilion were all working in the outer courtyard, and there were only Mo Yan and the National Teacher in the main building, and no one else was moving around, and the courtyard was exceptionally quiet.

Bao Shan walked back to Qingzhi's side and whispered, "Sister, I heard from the people in the palace that the weather over there in the north is bad. ”

"It must be the people in the building office gossiping again." Qing Zhi smiled and patted Baoshan on the shoulder and said, "It stands to reason that you should know better than us." ”

Bao Shan smiled bitterly and frowned: "Sister, when I was in the training ground, I was not idle every day, where can I have a chance to go out." ”

It was the first time she had confessed so frankly to Qing Zhi, but Qing Zhi was slightly stunned, and then the corners of her mouth curved and said, "The female officer didn't tell you about the situation in the Northland?" ”

"As far as I know, Your Majesty started planning a few years ago, and you people should have gotten the information from there earlier."

Bao Shan shook his head and said, "The people in the camp are divided into several groups, and I am the one who is the last to advance. ”

"What my sister said about the war in the Northland," Bao Shan frowned and said, "Those people in the front must know a lot, and now almost all of them are in the Northland, under the banner of the Great General." ”

"As for a few of us, we went late and didn't know much," Baoshan coughed awkwardly, "It's too late to be busy with your own business all day, where is there so much news." ”

"The female officer always told us that it would be good to be able to do our own things, and not to drift too far away."

Baoshan repeated the words of the female official, and said in a light tone: "When it is time to use us, it will naturally be used." ”

Qing Zhi stared at Baoshan for a few seconds, shook her head and said, "It looks like it's the same as in the palace, but you didn't expect to come to the palace flower garden to do things out of the camp, right?" ”

"Don't hide it from my sister," Baoshan sighed, his eyes darkened, "When I received the order, I secretly cried, and I felt that all the hardships were in vain, and later I actually wanted to be a palace maid." ”

"I'm wondering if I'm not practicing well enough."

"Don't think so," Qingzhi said as she approached her. Stretched out his hand and put his hand on Baoshan's shoulder, patted it lightly a few times, and said, "The palace maid selected in the palace." It depends on each person's chance. ”

"Yes, now in the barracks, and some, as civil officials, in the past few years in the palace, I have seen and heard a lot, and there are all kinds of situations."

Qingzhi looked at Baoshan. In a serious tone, he said, "So you don't have to worry too much about the current situation. ”

"It's not that once you come in, you become a palace maid. She has been a palace maid for two years. ”

"Sister doesn't need to comfort me, I want to open it," Baoshan noticed Qingzhi's understanding and said gratefully. "Actually, it's pretty good here. At least there was no fear for life. "There are no swords and no eyes on the Northland side, and after a battle, who knows how many casualties there will be."

"I heard that the princess has found a lot of talented people," Bao Shan's tone was quite emotional, and he paused between his words, and then continued, "It seems that she has been planning for a long time." ”

"Of course, Your Majesty is stronger here. But the war is not easy to say, and the timing is not accurate. ”

"Shh Qing Zhi subconsciously made a silent gesture and said to Baoshan, "You will also say this in our room." ”

"Sister, don't worry, I know," Baoshan was silent for a moment, raised his head and looked at Qing Zhi and said, "Besides, Gu Lan is not here, if she is here, I will have some scruples." ”

"The day before yesterday, His Majesty Xià came to me to inquire about the flower garden, and asked many questions, and I answered as vaguely as my sister said."

"Baoshan," Qingzhi was slightly stunned, her expression instantly became a little subtle, her eyes looked at Shang Baoshan, and her eyes moved and asked, "When Xiaoling met me, he once reminded me about Gu Lan. ”

"What do you think of her?" Qing Zhi's inquiring gaze was on the treasure of Shandao.

Bao Shan was startled, looked at her in a daze, and then lowered his head and said, "I have the same opinion as Xiaoling." ”

On the road outside the capital of Sealand, a small group of people and horses hurried along the mountain road.

The person who took the lead looked like he had traveled a long distance, but the eyes on his face were very spiritual.

Unlike him, at the end of the line were two horses, one still covered in blood, and the other was no better, his clothes torn by branches.

A group of men, no more than eight or nine in total, walked along the mountain road to the outskirts of the capital of Sealand, but bypassed the road near the city gate and continued to turn a corner on the mountain road. "Boss!" The guy who was following the leader in the group stepped forward and asked, "Aren't you going into the capital?" “

The leader frowned and said: "We are all wearing civilian clothes, and there are things in the back car, it is not difficult to disguise ourselves as businessmen, but isn't this meeting two unlucky ones?" "I can't say that I threw them away, you see the last one, I'm afraid the injuries on his body are even worse, and he won't let him sit in the car." "I thought I'd better take a ride along the mountain road, go to the mountains on the outskirts of the city, find a cave to rest for a while, and help him deal with his injuries." "Boss, you're too good-hearted." "It's not that I'm good-hearted, the pavilion master will have opinions when he knows, if he leaves them alone" "Hey, those two people don't know what to do, obviously they have a car to sit on, so they have to ride a horse by themselves." “

"I'm a little puzzled, how can the people of the Sea Kingdom be so virtuous, it stands to reason that if they want to intercept the people under the princess, shouldn't they send two people with better kung fu?"

"Boss," said the chaser in a low voice, "they say they were ambushed. ”

"I asked carefully, and said that there were only two of them left in the group, and there were more than these people when they came out."

"This is even more strange, the people of the Sea Kingdom met with the first person in the pavilion a few days ago, where did they come from?"

"I'll have to interrogate you when I find a suitable place to rest."

"Boss, are you saying they're cheating?"

"No, the injuries on the body must be real, as for how it got like this, and how many waves of people came over from their Hai Kingdom, they have to ask carefully."

"The pavilion master said that the sea country is as cunning as a fox, although they have joined forces, but they also have to guard against others."

As the leader spoke, he turned his head to look at the back of the team and glanced at the two of them coldly.

Then he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the fog that had spread through the col, the sun was obscured by clouds, and the fog in the mountains was thicker than in the morning.

"Hurry up, get to the mountain in front of you early, and find a cave to settle down for a while."

Hurrying through the foggy mountains, I saw a suspected cave in front of me after a while.

The leader asked the people below to rush over and take a look, and sure enough, it was a cave half covered by a big tree, and the front of the cave was overgrown with weeds.

The leader led the team over, and their small group was temporarily mobilized by the Martyrdom Pavilion at a certain station in Sealand.

Speaking of the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion to Sealand, it has only been half a year, far less than the forces in other places.

The site was located in the south of Zealand, far away from the national capital, and after half a year of calm, I suddenly received a message from the pavilion, saying that the pavilion master had come to the capital of Zealand.

At this time, the war in the north is just around the corner, and there are various rumors in the cabinet.

One of them is the sword pointing at the northern land, originally thought that the pavilion master was going to help the forces on both sides, but the current signs are a little incomprehensible.

The leader knew that these things would not be understood clearly until the pavilion master met, so he didn't dare to stop along the way, so he hurried over with people.

I didn't expect to meet people from Haiguo on the road, but a few days ago, the message mentioned Haiguo who temporarily joined forces with the pavilion master.

Those two people claimed to have been ambushed, and the wolf was unbearable, but they did it in order to intercept a few killers under the princess.

The leader plans to simply bring them with him, and when he meets with the pavilion master and the people of the sea country, he will naturally know the truth.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and there was no one else on the mountain road except for their team.

The leader took the lead to dismount and led people to the entrance of the cave, which his subordinates had checked just now, it was an ordinary cave, the area in it was not small, and there were some traces of fire left by passers-by on the ground.

The men of the group hid their horses in a hidden place in the woods, leaving two men to watch over them, and the rest followed the leader to the cave.

The two unlucky ghosts of the Sea Kingdom, especially the one who was seriously injured, were able to hold on to their horses until now, which made the people of the Jade Pavilion impressed.

The leader had them dismount from their horses and followed the rest into the cave as well.

The two men staggered in, and sat down on the ground as soon as they got inside.

The leader took action himself, crouched down to check the injuries of the two of them, his clothes were torn and the one who looked at the wolf bèi, but there were some skin injuries on his body, and the other one was much stricter.

He was wounded by a sword, and he also brought medicine with him, but fortunately they also carried the antidote pill with him, and he controlled the injury, but when the clothes were untied, the wounds on his shoulders were a little dark.

The leader looked at the back carefully, and then took out the medicine he was carrying and dealt with it for him, turned his head to the people under his hand and said in a gentle tone: "This injury can only be pressed with medicine for the time being, it is best to wait until the meeting and let the pavilion master deal with it." ”

Although the people of Haiguo gritted their teeth in pain, they shook their heads again and again: "Thank you for your trouble, I don't dare to trouble your pavilion master." "As long as we can hold on, the people who arrived first also have medical skills, I don't know how long it will take from here to the place of resettlement?" (To be continued......)
