Chapter 304: The Battlefield Sees the Truth

Gu Qimei was very clear about the empress's arrangement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This Emperor is still in the imperial study, but there is another person in the study besides her.
Gu Qimei knew that the empress had no time to see the envoy sent by the princess for the time being.
She looked down and thought about it, trying to think of a safer way to deal with it.
Soon, a thought crossed her mind.
Then, she looked at the attendant outside the door and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty is still discussing matters in the study at this time. ”
"Why don't I go with you and take a look first."
The attendant was stunned, but he didn't dare to say more, and nodded in agreement.
Gu Qimei turned her head to look at the recruits standing in the room with a worried look as she spoke, and said, "I have something to go away." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she slowed down her tone and looked at the recruit: "You think about it carefully, when I come in a while, if you think of it, you can tell me." ”
That being said, in fact, Gu Qimei could guess that most of the recruits couldn't say useful information when she looked at the recruits, and the possibility of figuring out the whole thing with just a few words was actually very small.
If the war in the Northland waits for no one, it is estimated that this case will be put aside for the time being.
There is no other way but to deal with the most important things first, and the most important thing at the moment is naturally the confrontation between the two armies!
The attendant walked in front to lead the way for Gu Qimei.
Soon, the two of them came to the room where the messenger was delivered.
The attendant stepped forward to open the door, and Gu Qimei walked in slowly.
In the courtyard of the house in Northland Town, an attendant came out of the empress's imperial study after delivering tea.
After walking a few steps, I saw a few people hurrying by in the corner of the corridor opposite the side door.
There were a lot of people coming in and out of the house these days, because the war was approaching, and there would be more things, but these people happened to attract his attention.
The attendant stopped to look, and when he saw clearly that it was Gu Qimei's subordinates, he turned his head and walked away.
However, after walking some distance, the squire couldn't help but turn his gaze and look in that direction.
He could clearly see that among the few people passing by, except for the one who was in the lead, who were all attendants like him, there were also several faces that looked very unfamiliar.
The attendant secretly guessed the origin of the other party in his heart.
In addition to this, the attendants also noticed some details.
He saw that the man walking behind his companion looked clearly from the army.
The attendant was inevitably suspicious at this time, there were already people in the barracks who had arrived at the mansion before, and many people in the courtyard had seen it.
The man who came had heard that he had come for questioning about the night attack.
Why are there people from the barracks coming here again?
He stopped and thought for a moment, but couldn't think of a reason, and decided to ask the other companions.
The attendant walked all the way to the end of the corridor and hurried into a room.
When he saw another companion inside, he couldn't help but ask the other party.
"I just met a few fresh faces in the yard, looking at people coming in from outside."
"But there are people among them who look like they're from the army."
The companion was stunned when he heard this, stopped his movements after a while, looked at him and answered: "A stranger from the army? Oh, it's about a craftsman who was transferred from the camp to do things! ”
When the attendant heard this, he looked at him puzzled, and asked in a surprised tone, "Master craftsman?" Drawn from the battalion? ”
At first glance, he thought he had misheard!
The companion groaned and nodded, "Not bad." ”
The companion glanced at him again and said, "Aren't you going to the front-line camp soon?" ”
"Your Majesty means to ask the master craftsmen to reinforce and repair the several cars that need to be taken when they set off."
Traveling from the capital city to the northland, some sections of the road are really difficult to explain, so the car will inevitably wear and tear.
Resting for safety reasons, this sounds like a good reason.
Hearing this, the attendant asked in surprise with his eyes: "Since you are looking for a master craftsman, is there no suitable one in Northland Town?" ”
The people of the house have rarely gone out since they arrived, but they have passed through the town on the way here.
The people below, including the attendants, saw the lively streets of the town, the crowds of people, and the shops on the side of the streets.
If you want to find a craftsman, you should have a ready-made one in Beidi Town!
The companion glanced at him and then answered: "How dare you ask someone from outside, you must not worry, of course you have to draw from the camp." ”
The attendant asked in a surprised tone, "Are there people in the camp who are good at doing this?" ”
The companion glanced at him and smiled: "Why not, there are naturally ready-made ones in the camp, and they have done things in the palace before!" ”
The companion paused, and continued: "Don't look at those people who are usually in the barracks, many of them know other crafts!" ”
The attendant subconsciously asked, "How do you know this matter so clearly?" ”
These things should be the responsibility of the female officials, and they have nothing to do with them.
The companion replied in a gentle tone: "It's also a coincidence, I happened to hear the conversation between Master Gu and the people below. ”
The companion frowned and glanced at him, and said in a soft tone: "I heard them mention the matter of transferring manpower, so it is very clear. ”
The attendant showed a sudden look: "No wonder, I said!" ”
"You are in the courtyard, don't ask people about the news casually, Your Majesty is very taboo about this."
The companion came a few years earlier and was more experienced, so he couldn't help but remind him when he saw this.
"I understand, don't worry."
Not to mention that the empress is taboo, even Lord Gu, who is on an errand in the imperial study under her, is also very taboo.
The attendant saw her question a companion who was inquiring in the courtyard.
That Master Gu was young, beautiful in appearance, and his voice was also gentle and calm.
However, the attendant who was questioned by Master Gu was still sent away to be a handyman on the side of the stable.
Thinking of this, the attendant couldn't help but shudder, then walked to the window and closed it.
"It's so cold today, will it snow?"
After glancing outside, he retracted his gaze and asked his companion, "If there is a real war, it will be difficult to walk on the mountain road if it snows." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, the road here is not easy to walk, and it's the same over there, it's not far away."
The two talked in a low voice in the room for a while, and the attendant looked at his companion and said, "I have to go to Lord Gu, after delivering tea before, I don't know if I will send something in later." ”
"Okay," the companion nodded again, crouching in the corner of the room and fiddling with the charcoal fire.
When Gu Qimei looked at the two men sitting in front of her, the other party was also looking at her.
The messenger who delivered the letter didn't expect to be able to see the empress yet, but first saw the female official on an errand beside the empress.
What surprised them was not Gu Qimei's identity, but her age.
After listening to the other party's self-report, the two also politely exchanged a few words, but there was always a trace of suspicion in their eyes when they looked at Gu Qimei.
Or one of the messengers came to his senses first, why! It was because he heard Gu Qimei introduce herself and said that her surname was Gu, and she was still on an errand in the empress's imperial study.
The above content made waves in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of some rumors.
After the man's eyes looked at Gu Qimei, he met her gaze and asked tentatively, "I wonder if Lord Gu has a sister?" ”
As soon as these words came out, even his companions beside him remembered the rumors they had heard, and suddenly came to their senses.
Gu Qimei saw the reactions of these two people, and after hearing this, she said in a gentle tone after a while: "Yes, my eldest sister is in the army." ”
"But General Gu?" The tone of the person sitting in the seat was still a little urgent.
Gu Qimei's eyes flashed, and she responded calmly: "Yes." ”
The man suddenly looked at his companion with a look of joy.
The reactions of the two were similar, originally they were still thinking about how to talk to the empress and how to persuade each other, but now they are actually receiving the sister of General Gu Da, who is in charge of the first-line camp in the north.
What could be happier for them than the current situation?
You must know that the purpose of this trip is to send a letter written by the princess herself.
The content of the letter was about the night attack on the front-line camp, which was being investigated by the army under the command of General Gu.
I really didn't expect that the two daughters of the Gu family, one was in charge of the front army, and the other was still by the empress's side, holding such an important position.
What is the Imperial Study? Both of them knew very well in their hearts that the eyes they looked at Gu Qimei were a little different at this time.
If you want to say that when Gu Qimei came in before, it really didn't give people a very credible feeling, in the final analysis, it was because of her young age.
Now that they have figured out the antecedents, after the two of them looked at each other, they finally decided to show her the letter first.
"Lord Gu, this is a handwritten letter from the princess, about the night attack on the Wang Shi military camp."
Gu Qimei looked at them with subtle eyes, and then smiled lightly: "The news spread quickly. ”
After that, she took the letter, held it in her hand but did not open it.
"Lord Gu, this matter is not trivial, please ask Lord Gu for help"
Facing the expectant eyes of the two, Gu Qimei turned her head quietly and glanced in the direction of the corridor.
After a moment, she stood up and said, "Your Majesty is discussing matters in the study at this time, and it is estimated that it will take another hour." ”
She paused for a moment and then continued, "Let me think about this matter first, and you should not be impatient. ”
Gu Qimei's figure disappeared outside the door, listening to the footsteps on the corridor and leaving.
The two people in the room looked at each other again, and one of them said with a wry smile: "I was too happy before, and looking at her appearance, she may not be willing to help us speak." ”
The smile of the person sitting on the other side gradually retracted, and he looked at him and said in a sincere tone: "Not necessarily, she hasn't even read the letter, I think after she reads it, maybe her mind will change." ”
"In fact, for them, even if they really believe the princess's words, the war in the Northland will only be postponed for a few days, and it doesn't make much difference."
"It's just that this way, at least we can figure out the truth of the matter."
After the companion lowered his head and pondered, he looked out the window and said, "How can I bear this kind of thing with the princess's temper for the third-party forces hidden in the dark?" ”
"If you really want to fight, you can see the real chapter on the battlefield!"
The attendant walked out of the house, and then walked to a small courtyard across the way.
The mansions here occupy a large area of the town of Northland, separated from each other, so that they are not disturbed.
He had already been outside the study and knew that Gu Qimei was not in the imperial study at this time.
In the eyes of the people below, Gu Qimei has always been very busy, starting from being an errand in the imperial study, until the empress gradually handed over more and more things to her to do.
Everyone said that Gu Qimei was highly valued by the empress, and in the eyes of the attendants, she was naturally no exception.
Before entering the courtyard, the attendant heard footsteps.
He turned his head to look, and was stunned for a moment when he noticed his companion approaching not far away.
The other party approached, and when he saw him, he also showed a look of surprise on his face.
The attendant saw that the other party was still holding a scroll in his hand, which seemed to be a picture scroll, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen Master Gu?" ”
"Isn't Master Gu on an errand in the imperial study?"
The companion thought it was strange.
"No, Your Majesty is discussing things at this time, and Master Gu is not here."
After hearing this, the companion paused and said, "There are recruits from the camp, there is probably something, and Master Gu may also go over there." ”
The attendant's words came to his lips, and he wanted to ask about things, but remembering the cautionary words he had heard earlier, he still suppressed his curiosity.
The companion pondered for a moment, frowned at him and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
The attendant did not answer, and his gaze fell on the scroll that his companion was holding.
The other party followed his gaze, tilted his head and thought for a while, and explained, "I'm here to deliver drawings." ”
He looked at the attendant and said, "The master craftsman who came from the camp has just arrived, and he will stay here for the next two days." ”
"Someone has gone over to meet them now."
He raised the scroll in his hand and paused, then continued: "What I am holding in my hand is the drawing of the carriage that I brought all the way from the national capital, and I plan to give it to them to see. ”
The companion lowered his eyelids and raised his head in thought, "I said that if you're okay, don't walk around the yard." ”
"It's better to wait outside the imperial study."
"In case Master Gu comes back after finishing his work later, I won't be able to find you!"
There was no one left and right, and as his companion spoke, he couldn't help but raise his voice a little and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has not been in a good mood since he came out of the attic where the National Teacher lived in the morning. ”
The attendant was stunned when he heard this, and his face changed when he looked at his companion in an instant.
His companion kindly reminded him: "If Your Majesty is in a bad mood, we have to be careful, otherwise"
After a moment's delay outside the garden, the attendant turned around and walked in the direction of the imperial study.
His companion stood there and glanced at his back, then walked towards the courtyard.
As he walked into the courtyard, the sound of speech rang out.
The attendant saw a man who looked like an officer talking to a female officer standing in the courtyard.
