Chapter 404: Childe's intentions
I knew in my heart that after a heavy rain, it would be difficult to leave a mark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the heavy rain stops in the morning, the traces left by the carriage in the mountains and forests will also be washed away by the rain.
When the time comes, even if I look for it again, there will be no obvious traces to follow.
I'm afraid this time, I'm still trying my luck!
Before going to bed, I glanced out the window.
The shadows of the distant mountains are not very real in the darkness.
Leaning against the mottled wall, I thought about walking around the courtyard again, following Master Wan and the attendants beside Lady Liu.
The three of them went to the south of the town and acted in two ways, waiting in the teahouse on one side, and Master Wan going to the craftsman's shop on the other side.
Then, the chaos began on the streets.
I thought about it, especially the squire's reaction along the way.
By now, I could indeed guess that the man's true identity could never be an attendant in the Sealand Palace.
I can guess where he came from...... Eight, nine is not far from ten.
To get me out of the house in a hurry, it's best to disappear from Northland, before you get a chance to get close to someone.
Layer by layer, the scope that can be guessed is not large in the first place.
It's not the first time this has happened, it's happened before, it's just a matter of doing it all over again.
In the eyes of the person in the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion, I was probably just a stumbling block in Yun Chu's way forward, or more seriously, I caused him a lot of trouble.
The problem is that he thinks very differently from mine, and I have my own purpose and what I have to do when I come to the Northland.
I've come from Sealand Palace, and if I can't even complete the task I set for myself, it will be the most ridiculous!
I had already made up my mind that I was going to send things to him anyway, and as for the follow-up, it wasn't something I could plan right now.
In my opinion, whether you are together or far away, you need to be on the same page to do it.
I think since those people in the Jade Pavilion are ...... Now that their hands have reached into the mansion, I believe that they must have more than one hand placed next to the empress.
Even if I follow Master Wan out, things don't go well, and they don't find an opportunity this time, they will still be ready to go to the next operation soon.
Fortunately, they went smoothly and it can be said that it saved trouble!
In the darkness, I let out a long sigh.
...... On the side of a wall in the courtyard of Northland Town, the figure easily climbed over and then landed in the alley.
He stood there and looked around.
The house of the Empress of Northland occupies a large area in the north of the town, with mountains to the north and adjacent to the streets of the town to the south.
The area is quiet at night, and even very few people pass by.
In particular, the alleys adjacent to the walls in the middle of nowhere, it can be said that no one passes through them at all.
He had looked at it a few times beforehand, and when it came time to act, everything was going well.
When he came out of the house, he naturally had a place to go.
No one knows better than him what happened in the south of the town during the day, but the missing one was taken out of the town by the people in the cabinet.
He wants to know the follow-up, and he must go this way!
The pavilion master confirmed the news of the person's disappearance, and there was no need to worry, at least there was no need to worry about the person trying to get close to the son in the mansion.
By the time he arrived at the first-line camp in the Northlands, the man had already been sent far away, and it might not be so easy to enter the camp of the army.
The pavilion master secretly planned, hoping that before the prince finished his trip to the north, the man would not have any chance to approach.
In this way, Childe will leave the territory of Sealand smoothly and go where he should go.
...... Before he climbed over the wall, he had already replaced the squire outfit he was wearing.
The clothes they changed were hidden in a tree hole near the courtyard wall, so they would not get wet.
He walked through the alley in the light rain in the direction of his goal.
After nightfall, the area around the houses in Northland Town is deserted, but when you walk to the center of the town, you will find that the restaurants and teahouses in the town are still open quite late.
He walked all the way through the streets, saw people with umbrellas in the light rain, and also bought an umbrella from the door of a grocery store on the side of the street.
With an umbrella as cover, people passing by will not notice him.
He walked very fast, arriving in an alley in the town every few hours.
This place is already the second time he has come back, so it is quite familiar.
Last time, it came out in the name of delivering a message, and after the matter was done, it turned around in this area, but this time it was different, and it was purely from the house to find an opportunity to sneak out to do things.
Before entering the alley, he habitually looked towards the adjacent street.
He wanted to see if there were any people who were following him, and after confirming that he was safe and hidden, he calmly walked in.
Before knocking, he hesitated again out of caution, and looked back at the way he had come, to make sure that no one was coming with him.
The two hesitations fully illustrate the caution of this man.
However, there is a contradiction here, the fact that he came out of the mansion was a very risky act in itself.
He reached out and tapped lightly on the door.
The frequency of percussion can be fast or slow, and the frequency varies from light to severe.
The sound of continuous knocking was still the secret signal of the people in the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion, and sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to answer the door.
There were still a few people standing under the eaves of the courtyard at this moment.
When they saw their companion coming in through the door, they looked in his direction and nodded in greeting, "You're here?" ”
The door closed again, and several people retreated into the house.
The charcoal brazier was lit inside the house, and it was very warm to walk in, much more comfortable than the cold rain on the street.
...... The companion looked at the visitor and asked, "You came so late, is it possible that the empress in the mansion is investigating this matter?" ”
In the room, someone came to take a few sips of hot tea from the hands of other companions.
After a while, he looked at the few people opposite him and whispered, "You can all guess that there is chaos in the town, this time it is not ordinary chaos, it is much worse than the last time." ”
"The Empress will definitely not just leave it at that!"
"But clues are hard to find, and those who catch them can't ask for useful clues."
The tone of the person who came was firm, and his eyes were calm.
The chaos in Northland Town has this benefit, there are all kinds of people in the town, how to thoroughly investigate it in a short period of time, it is not more efficient than in the army.
He paused, looked at the other person and asked, "Didn't our people send her out of town, and Dou7 hasn't come back yet?" ”
Chaotic streets mixed with people missing in the crowd......
Hearing this, someone in the house replied: "I want to take someone to the mountains, and the guards stationed outside will stop him at night, and the inspection will be very strict this evening, and he will definitely not be able to enter when he arrives." ”
Estimating the round-trip time, you can draw conclusions.
Even if the carriage is going fast, when you come back, you can only find a place to stay for the night near the town!
"Surely there should be news of him to-morrow morning," the man continued, "I see that he is out of town, and that he is going well, and that he must have sent him far away. ”
The person who spoke paused again, and only after a moment did he hesitate to look at the person who came and asked, "Have you mentioned all the things you asked us to prepare to the pavilion master?" ”
At that time, on the street, the Martyr Jade Pavilion man who pretended to be an attendant was still with the master craftsman and the craftsman in the house.
It wasn't he who was going to do the task, he just managed to drugged the tea.
The companions were naturally curious, and it was a little ...... to say that the people who were dealing with the cabinet were still so thoughtful and secretly sent the message Incredible!
The person who came said with a wry smile: "This matter is actually not my intention, but our pavilion master insists on doing it." ”
There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone, and he was even more hesitant when he spoke: "Let's ...... Those who do things at the bottom naturally can't be disobeyed, but ...... I don't think Childe would like to see that. ”
He thought about it again and again, and felt that it was better to leave some room for everything.
"I don't want to do too much, you must know that she has never had a conflict with the people in our pavilion," he paused and continued, "Actually, from the Lake Country to the present, there are quite a few people who have been treated by her hands!" ”
"Even at this point, we can't overdo it."
It is true that he is a person who works in the Jade Pavilion, but he has always had his own opinions about doctors, at least his impression is not bad!
"In the wilderness, if something goes wrong, even if you can hide it from your son for a while, what about the one in Haiguo...... That's her brother! ”
Having said that, there is nothing unclear about the few people in the room.
The visitor glanced at the group of people sitting or standing in the room, thought for a moment, and added, "You still have to hide a little." ”
"In short, we have completed the task assigned by the pavilion master!"
This was true, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Other details, unless he takes the initiative to ask, just don't mention it."
"Otherwise...... helped people, but he didn't fall well in front of the pavilion master! ”
The person who came said to his companions again: "You can all see the attitude of the pavilion master, let me remind you that you will know it in your hearts." ”
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Several people nodded in turn, which was to listen to what the future people said.
One of the companions looked at the comer: "By the way, just now you mentioned those people in the Sea Country, there is something very strange! ”
"There was indeed their whereabouts in the town a few days ago, strangely...... But then they disappeared. ”
"Aren't we going to follow the trail? I also looked for clues, and found that it seemed to be going to the mountains near the Northland. ”
"Is it the same direction as sending her?"
It won't make such an oolong thing!
After hearing this, the companion quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it's definitely not in the same area, and it's not in the same direction." ”
"Let's send people to the southwest, and the people of Haiguo disappeared in the mountains of the east region, two completely different paths."
The person who came answered: "That's good, I'm still a mistake, go to the same side, then it's more ...... Trouble! ”
The companion thought for a while, and then said: "The people of Haiguo probably encountered a situation in the mountains, and maybe they were temporarily trapped, so there is no follow-up news. ”
The companion lowered his voice and said to everyone: "There are some strange things in the mountains to the east, and the locals talk about it. ”
After thinking about it, the visitor had an idea, looked at his companion and asked, "...... in the mountains How far is it from the battlefield? What about distance? ”
"It's not that far, but the terrain in the mountains is complicated, and I've heard that there are some areas where even the locals don't dare to go in."
The visitor said strangely: "That's not ordinary weirdness!" ”
The local mountain people have lived for generations, and if they don't even dare to set foot in an area, it won't be a safe place!
He said to his companion: "I have read all the letters of Lady Liu, although I can't enter the imperial study, we haven't pulled down the news from the outside at all." ”
"I haven't heard or seen any news related to that side, so General Gu on the front line must not know about it."
The companion reminded: "When I traced it, I found that there were aliens in that area. ”
The visitor frowned and said, "Why are there aliens everywhere?" ”
He couldn't help muttering: "There are their people in the disaster relief area, and there are a lot of people in the town, even the forbidden places in the mountains are investigated!" ”
"Yes, indeed! As soon as we arrived in the town, we felt that there were a lot of foreign people, could it be that we also wanted to take advantage of the war in the Northland, and there was a suspicion of fishing in troubled waters! ”
"Is there a concentration of aliens in the town?"
"Yes! On a street in the town, there were several large inns, and many foreigners lived in the inns. ”
After thinking about it, the person who came instructed: "Since there are suspicious locations, send our people to keep an eye on some, and if there is any abnormality, we can also find it in time." ”
"Childe will leave for the camp in time?"
The visitor groaned and looked at his companions, everyone was concerned about the matter, and he told the truth.
"Childe has used strong medicine these days, it should be just to go to the front line."
He thought about it again, looked out the window and said, "I went out to buy with the craftsman in the house today, and I know that he went to the craftsman's shop...... Because the fire didn't get the job done. ”
"There is a hidden danger in the carriage that Childe is riding."
When several people in the room heard this, they immediately looked at him in surprise.
He paused, looked at them, and said, "The person we sent to the shop came back and said that the master craftsman is very good, and he is actually planning to find a way to remedy it from above!" ”
"Why did you hide it from your superiors?"
"Because...... That hidden danger was tacitly tolerated as early as when he was in the Sealand Palace, and it has always existed. ”
Several people in the room suddenly said angrily: "The empress is really ill-intentioned, and the son has to ...... for her."
The person who came shook his head and said: "That's not right, the prince has an arrangement, it will definitely not be because of the empress, but at the moment we don't know about this trip to the north...... Childe's intentions. ”
The person who came suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled a little helplessly: "To be honest, it's not yet time to leave the Northland." ”
"Just based on the minds of a few of us, how can we guess Childe's thoughts!"
