You say, this situation only happened after Song Huai went to Huaizhou? Qin Niang asked thoughtfully.

Steward Liu nodded: "At first, the local people still concealed it and did not report it, and the prefect of that state also checked, but the people of that place believed in ghosts and gods too much, their mouths were very tight, and they refused to spit out a word when they died. ”

Now, the whole Huaizhou is like an independent small country, and Song Huai has undoubtedly become the emperor there, and the people sent by the capital have no news one after another.

Because the imperial court has not received a specific excerpt about Huaizhou for three consecutive years, every year it only receives a general excerpt of the four seas and a bunch of praises and praises, and nothing else.

It is precisely because those excerpts are written so beautifully that there are no natural or man-made disasters at all, so it arouses suspicion.

The country to the east is so big, and no place dares to say that there is no problem in the place where it governs, and those words full of singing and dancing seem to be hiding something.

"It seems that those who disappeared for no reason, as well as those ghosts and gods, are a little unusual, it seems that I have to go to the palace tomorrow." Qin Niang said in a deep voice.

This matter is not trivial, and Song Yu must be made aware of it, otherwise, once things deteriorate, it will have an immeasurable impact on the country.

Now that the war has broken out, there must be no more internal chaos.

She knows who Song Huai is, now that the emperor has set up Song Yu as the crown prince, it is impossible for him not to know about this matter, for Song Huai, Donglin can only be his, and he will never give up the great rivers and mountains in Donglin to others.

As long as he doesn't die, his ambition won't die.

Therefore, it is impossible for Song Huai to stay in Huaizhou honestly as a Huai king, let alone watch another person inherit this country, and he must have done something else in front of others over the years.

"You call Gu Bai over." Qin Niang waved her hand and sent Steward Liu away.

"Yes." After Steward Liu stepped back, it didn't take long for Gu Bai to come.

Gu Chen specially left Gu Bai before leaving, and only took Gu Qing away.

"Young lady, are you looking for me?" Gu Bai dressed up as a little girl, stood quietly beside Qin Niang, and asked.

"I'll write a letter to Gu Chen in a while, and you will personally send it to Gu Chen at the border gate." Qin Niang thought, Huaizhou is not far from the south, if Song Huai really wants to make something, she had better talk to Gu Chen first, lest if Song Huai comes to Yin, he will be caught off guard.

She didn't dare to underestimate Song Huai's shamelessness.

"Young lady, the master asked me to stay in the capital to protect you, if you want to send a message, I can send other dark guards." Gu Bai said insistently.

He didn't want to be punished by Gu Chen after going to the south, besides, it was nothing more than sending a letter, and whoever sent it would be the same.

"There will be no danger in the capital for the time being, besides, other secret guards can also protect us, but this letter is very important, and I don't worry about others going." Qin Niang is also very persistent.

As far as she is concerned, the only people she knows and trusts in Gu Chen's secret guard are Gu Qing and Gu Bai, and these two people are indeed the two best in his secret guard, Gu Chen had to leave both of them together before leaving, and it was she who insisted on him taking one away, so he took Gu Qing away.

She also uses Gu Bai more easily on weekdays, and she can't be clearer about Gu Bai's temperament, and there is no problem in keeping him.

It's just that now he is not happy to send a letter in person.

Gu Chen explained to him before leaving, nothing is as important as the safety of their mother and son.

Therefore, at this time, Qin Niang asked him to deliver the letter, in case there was any big mess in the capital during the time he was away, and the secret guards left behind were negligent, and then all of them would not be able to pay for their lives' thunderous anger of the master.

For this, Gu Bai understands very well.

"If the young lady is not at ease, you can use a special potion to soak the letter paper before writing, and when the handwriting is dry, there will be no handwriting appearing, if you want to read the letter, you can only soak the letter paper into the potion, but after reading, the words on this paper will disappear completely, so the young lady can rest assured."

Gu Bai saw that she was not at ease, and seemed to insist that he had to send this letter in person, Gu Bai knew what she was worried about, she was only familiar with him and Gu Qing in the entire dark guard, and the rest of the people, because of the lack of contact, she didn't trust them enough, which was also reasonable.

She was afraid that the content of the letter would be read by a second person besides Gu Chen, so she insisted that he send it.

So, he had no choice but to tell her one of the most secret contact methods in the Secret Guard.

Qin Niang was very surprised, there was such a magical potion in this world.

"The young lady doesn't have to worry about the letter being read before it is delivered to the master, because this potion was developed by our secret guards themselves, and others don't know about it, and besides, this kind of letter will disappear after reading it, even if the secret guard wants to peek at it, he doesn't dare to take risks."

After all, after reading it, it was a blank piece of paper, and they couldn't explain it in Gu Chen's hands, they weren't so stupid.

On the contrary, those who were able to enter Gu Chen's Dark Guard were extremely smart people.

"It's great to have something so good." Qin Niang said, and immediately asked Qiu Tao to get a piece of paper.

Qiu Tao hurriedly went to the house and took it out.

In front of Qin Niang, Gu Bai took out a small bottle of medicine from his arms and said to Qiu Tao: "I still have to bother the girl to go and fetch a basin of water." ”

Qiu Tao glanced at Qin Niang, saw her signal, and went to fetch water again.

After a while, the water came, Gu Bai poured the liquid in the bottle into the basin, and then soaked the paper in front of Qin Niang.

After the paper was completely soaked, Gu Bai fished it out, put it on the small stool on the side, and said: "Now that the weather is good, I believe that this paper will dry out soon, the young lady can take a small piece to wipe it first, as for this basin of water, don't pour it out for the time being, you will know in a while, how amazing this potion is." ”

Qin Niang was told by him, and she also came to Xingzhi, and immediately ordered someone to bring a fan, fan it a few more times, and wanted to dry the paper as soon as possible.

However, the soaked and dried paper is inevitably a little uneven, Qin Niang doesn't care about these, as soon as the paper is dry, she can't hold back and order someone to take the pen and ink, try to write a few words on it, and then, she saw with her own eyes that the handwriting on the paper dried, and disappeared.

Qiu Tao was stunned on the side: "Gu Bai, do you still need people from the Dark Guard?" I also want to go in and see a long time. ”

If such a miraculous thing is bought in the market, it may be able to sell for a sky-high price.

"I don't want people like you to be a weak chicken." Gu Bai hit her unceremoniously.

Qiu Tao puffed out her mouth angrily, but there was nothing she could do about him, what people said was the truth, what could she do?

"Okay, you two don't make trouble, this potion is good, go back and make two more bottles for me." Qin Niang unceremoniously asked for tribute.

There are such good things not to mention, so every time she sends a letter to Gu Chen, she is worried that someone will intercept her in an accident on the road, if there is this, what else is she worried about.

"Young lady, although this thing is good, it's best not to use it often, after all, if you use it too much, others can find it, and once it is discovered, it will be inconvenient for us to use it in the future." Gu Bai looked at her with an excited look on her face, and couldn't help but remind in a low voice.

Qin Niang glanced at him, and then looked at the paper in her hand, the breeze came, and a faint smell of medicine came to her nose, Qin Niang's heart sank, she seemed to realize the crux of the problem Gu Bai said.

The medicine seems to have a taste, and if the letter falls into the hands of someone who understands pharmacology, then it is easy to make the same liquid as if it were made.

"It seems that your potion is not good, I'll improve it for you later." Qin Niang said, then took the other half of the paper back to the back room and wrote a letter to Gu Chen.

Gu Bai didn't get the letter, so he could only stand in the yard and wait, Qiu Tao glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I still think I'm a weak chicken, I don't think you guys are very good, go back and let my young lady improve it for you, you also know that the most things our young lady has done in recent years is all kinds of improvements." ”

The corners of Gu Bai's mouth twitched, and he said, "The young lady does have a hand in improving the drawings, but I haven't heard that she is also proficient in pharmacology. ”

The ghosts in their team were all leaders in their fields, and he didn't believe that Qin Niang, a person with little knowledge of pharmacology, could give them any suggestions for improvement.

"Don't underestimate people, even if our young lady is not proficient in pharmacology, she is better than reading a lot, be careful of a sore face." Qiu Tao said, raised her chin, glanced at him with her nostrils, and turned into the house proudly.

After a short time, Qin Niang's letter was written, she sealed it with wax after she packed it, and then handed it to Gu Bai with her own hands: "I don't care who you send, in short, this letter must be handed over to your master by hand, even if the person dies, the letter will be obtained, otherwise, everyone will not end well." ”

Gu Bai had also heard about the matter in Huaizhou, so he didn't dare to slack off, and after solemnly responding, he left.

After the letter was delivered, Qin Niang stood in the courtyard for a while before going inside.

Since he knew the situation in Huaizhou, Qin Niang always felt unsteady in his heart, Song Huai was an ambitious and skillful man, he knew that there were many people staring at him in the open and in the dark, so he would definitely try his best to hide his edge, secretly recuperate, and wait for the right time to launch a general attack.

Early the next morning, she handed a sign to the palace and went into the palace.

This time, I didn't go to the queen, after all, this is a political matter, and it is a little inappropriate to find the queen, so she directly asked people to lead her to the emperor's imperial study.

The emperor was in bed again, and Song Yu was in the study.
