Chapter 488: A Suspicious Spy

Hua Qianshu spent a whole winter, learning needlework, and prepared a box of small clothes and bedding for the unborn child, although the craftsmanship is still not very good, but the stitches and threads all condense their expectations for this child.

She was very glad that she had saved the child and would not stand alone in this world.

Rao is the harsh winter at the border pass, dripping into ice, she is also trying to learn to cook with Wang Ma, she is planning for the future.

She had long wanted to move out of the General Military Mansion and live alone, not wanting the world to misunderstand Gu Mozhi.

But Gu Mozhi resolutely disagreed, afraid that because she was pregnant, she would be inconvenient, and if there was anything, no one would be able to take care of her in time.

Hua Qianshu's fetal image has been unstable, and by the time she was seven months old, the doctor said that there was still a risk of slippery tires or premature birth. Hua Qianshu didn't dare to be strong, and the more she got later, the child was able to punch and kick happily in her stomach, which made her feel the happiness of being a mother, and the child became more and more important to her.

This child is not only the crystallization of the relationship between her and Yefang, but also her desire for family affection.

Therefore, she followed Gu Mozhi's advice and stayed in the General Soldier's Mansion, planning to wait for the child to be born before making plans.

Today's weather is good, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the air is full of the smell of warm sun.

It's rare that Gu Mozhi is free and can accompany her around.

Throughout the winter months, Gu Mozhi was not idle, and he was busy with border defense, post-war reconstruction, and many trivial matters in Wolong Pass.

The chief soldier of this Wolong Pass is really not good. Unlike other general soldiers, he only needs to be in charge of the military and political affairs here, leading the troops to fight, defending the border and defending the country, and he also has to take care of all the big and small affairs in the Guan, which is almost equivalent to the local parent officials.

So it's rare to have such a free time.

Hua Qianshu carried a bamboo basket in his hand, planning to buy some vegetables that Gu Mozhi liked along the way.

I ate radish and cabbage for a winter, and now that the weather is warmer, I finally have green vegetables that are refreshing.

The two of them went straight out of the General Soldier's Mansion and walked along the street towards the bustling market.

In this desolate Wolong Pass, now the people finally no longer suffer from the war, enjoy the peace of the whole winter, and can recuperate.

In previous years, Wolong Pass in the winter moon was constantly fighting. Although the heavy snow closed the road, Xiliang's iron riders could not cross this long frozen grassland. But in the nearby passes, the people of Xiliang will always visit here from time to time, and by surprise, they will plunder the winter grain and rice stored by the people, as well as the cloth and tea in the shops.

Such a peace is extremely rare for them. Therefore, they were also more and more grateful for the arrival of Gu Mozhi and Hua Qianshu.

The two of them walked down the street, but all the people they knew well greeted her warmly, and the vegetables they needed were the freshest and fattest, and they were stuffed into her baskets, and then they collected the least amount of silver.

This made Hua Qianshu very unhappy.

Gu Mozhi took the basket in her hand and held it in her hand, as light as nothing.

The two walked side by side, like a pair of beautiful people, adding a touch of freshness and agility to this earthy town.

A soldier hurried through the flow of people and approached the two of them, with a look of haste on their faces.

Hua Qianshu knew that there must be something important in the army that needed to be dealt with by Gu Mozhi.

The two paused, and the soldier stepped forward, first striking an arch at the two, and then said: "Your Excellency, this morning, a group of six people entered Wolong Pass from the North City Gate, and they were not dressed as ordinary people or businessmen. Do we need to arrest them and interrogate them, please?"

"What's the costume?"

"Wearing ordinary people's clothes, but the shoes are more worn, every move, there are eyes, the back is straight, the body is straight, it seems that all of them have been trained. And the person who is the leader, with a burly body, a wide mouth, and a noble atmosphere, is definitely not very human. There is a thick callus on his tiger's mouth, which should be the reason why he holds the sword for many years. The rest of the people were quite respectful to him, bowing their heads to him. ”

The soldier replied very carefully.

Because of the battle with Xiliang, they are all quite vigilant, and they will pay more attention to strangers from outside. Not to mention such a dazzling group of people?

Gu Mozhi frowned slightly: "If it is a spy sent by Xiliang, he should know the minimum concealment of his identity, and he will not be so public, let us see the clues just from the appearance." But if they inquire about our internal defenses and other important matters, they have no choice but to guard against them. The two of them followed for the time being, paying attention to their every move, and if there was any abnormality, they would come forward to investigate. ”

For business, Hua Qianshu doesn't intervene much.

The soldier received the order and added: "Some brothers said that the person in their leader spoke with an accent like that of a person from Beijing. ”

Gu Mozhi and Hua Qianshu couldn't help but glance at each other.

Gu Mozhi asked the soldier, "Where are those people now?"

The soldier raised his hand and pointed: "Now let's eat noodles on the noodle stall not far ahead." also deliberately accosted the owner of the noodle stall, discussing the invasion of Xiliang last year, and inquiring about his wife. ”

Gu Mozhi just groaned slightly: "Why don't you and I go over for a while and see what the sacredness is?"

Hua Qianshu was also curious about this person who inquired about him: "Okay." ”

The soldiers led the way, and the two followed before they reached a steaming noodle stall.

The noodle stall is not large, and a shed was built at the corner of the street, and four tables of eight immortals were set up, selling sorghum noodles. Add a few verdant green cabbage leaves, pour a spoonful of mutton mixed with red peppers, steaming, very suitable for the climate here in Wolongguan.

This point is less than a meal, and there are no diners at the stall, so the six people are more conspicuous.

Hua Qianshu looked at it slightly, and it was really just like the soldier Shicai replied, six people sat at two Eight Immortal Tables, without the casualness and laziness of ordinary people, all with straight backs and neat movements. He didn't talk, but looked around alertly, paying attention to the traffic on the street.

Although it was dressed as a coarse cloth common man, Hua Qianshu could still see at a glance that it was clearly a well-trained guard.

There was a man sitting with his back to him, with a tiger on his back and a burly body, wearing a sauce-colored silk silk robe with the word "shou", and a bun was tied at the top of his head, which was fixed with a shiny silver hairpin.

The noodle stall owner twisted his face while scooping noodles and didn't know what to talk to him.

Then, after pouring the marinade, he held it in both hands, brought it to the person, with a smile on his face, wiped his hands with an apron, took chopsticks from the side and handed them to the person, and then turned around to serve the other bowls.

The man turned his face and spoke to the four men at the table next to him, presumably commanding something.

Hua Qianshu's heart slammed suddenly, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Rubbing his eyes and looking again, the man had already turned his face to bury his head in eating noodles, leaving only a back.

Zhenguo Hou!

If she hadn't been dazzled, this person should have been the famous Marquis of Zhenguo, the old man of Feng Chumad and Feng Jiuge!
