It was late at night, and except for a few torches outside the camp, the entire camp was pitch black.
In the camp that is completely silent.
Gu Qingqiu's pitch-black pupils were filled with faint yellow candlelight, and a coldness flashed across her eyes.
"You mean that Gu Ning went to a private meeting in the forest?"
Her voice was very low, like a ghost in this quiet environment.
Seeing the excitement in her eyes, Ban Xia could only maintain her sober mind by clenching her hands and relying on the pain.
"When I came back, I saw the county lord and the maid beside me coming out of the woods from a distance. Although I couldn't see their faces clearly, the clothes were made of brocade, which had a unique brilliance under the sun. The slave would not Admittedly."
There are only a few batches of brocade from the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor only rewarded the eldest princess and the queen. The queen sent the brocade to the eldest princess to show her virtuousness. In the entire Chu Kingdom, only Gu Ning can make brocade into clothes. The skirt is worn on the body.
Hearing this, Gu Qingqiu closed his eyes, and suddenly laughed softly.
"Sure enough." She squeezed her hands firmly, her beautiful and gentle face, like a rakshasa possessed, was extremely ferocious, "The things I can get are all that she Gu Ning doesn't want!"
Her clothes and jewelry are like this, even men are like this!
Gu Ning must have empathized with someone else and fell in love with someone else, that's why he was so forthright when he broke off the engagement!As if afraid of being entangled!
She, Gu Qingqiu, was a poor person from the beginning to the end.
Why?The daughter of the same father, how can Gu Ning enjoy the splendor of wealth!And she can only pick up things that Gu Ning doesn't want?She is also her father's daughter!Why is God so unfair?
Gu Qingqiu ruthlessly pinched the brocade quilt under her body until it was crumpled into a ball before she let go.
"Stare at Gu Ning!" She gritted her teeth, "I want to know who that adulterer is!"
Ban Xia responded immediately, and when she was about to leave, Gu Qingqiu called to her again: "Just stare at it from a distance, don't get close, she is surrounded by martial arts, if you find your trace, It’s not good to scare the snake away.”
"Yes." Ban Xia recalled Chun Yu's agile skills today, feeling a little scared in her heart.
Ban Xia was about to leave when she suddenly saw a cold light flash in front of her eyes, a sword with a murderous look under the moonlight pierced through the tent and stabbed straight at her.
She kicked back two steps, bumped into the low stool, and fell heavily to the ground, seeing that the sword was about to pierce her chest.
At this time, a quilt fell from the sky and stopped the man in black.
Gu Qingqiu's body trembled, his voice broke: "There are assassins!"
She knew that without the Pei family, the Gu family would be an ant among the accompanying officials. No one would care about the life and death of the ant. Only by pulling the big man into the water can he have a chance to breathe!
The woman's sharp yell came from nowhere, resounding through the entire camp.
In an instant, the faces of the guards on patrol changed drastically, and they all ran towards the camp where the emperor was, while the other guards searched for assassins in each camp.
The eyes of the man in black who broke into Gu Qingqiu's tent originally flickered a few times. He looked inside the tent but didn't find what he was looking for. He left quickly before the forbidden army arrived.
When the imperial army arrived, Gu Qingqiu's face turned a little bloody.
"What's going on?" Chu Yunyi's face was full of worry, seeing Gu Qingqiu who was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Qingqiu, did the assassin hurt you just now?"
Gu Qingqiu shook his head: "He seems to have gone to the wrong tent. I saw that he is very good at swordsmanship, but I thought he was going after the emperor, so I yelled a reminder."
"Your Highness, did I do something wrong?"
She looked up at Chu Yunyi, just in time for Chu Yunyi to see the two tear stains on her face.
Chu Yunyi knew that she was frightened, so he hugged her waist lovingly, and comforted him: "You are right, this assassin is very skilled in martial arts, I am afraid that he came for the emperor, and several groups of assassins went to the camp To the west, they just want to make a noise."
Leaning in Chu Yunyi's arms, Gu Qingqiu nodded with lingering fear.
She glanced at the panic-stricken Ban Xia in warning, Ban Xia lowered her head, and swallowed back the words that were about to blurt out—the man in black just entered, clearly looking for something!
……
At the same time, inside Gu Ning's tent.
When she saw the box that had been turned over in a mess, her mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
When the group of men in black entered the room just now, she was walking back from the Eldest Princess with Chunyu.
After the imperial army arrived, the group of men in black disappeared, but her tent seemed to have been ransacked.
While the imperial guards were talking in a hurry, they also revealed a message - there are assassins on Gu Qingqiu's side!
After Chunyu saw the mess in front of her, she immediately thought of the cage that Gu Ning brought back today, she lowered her head uneasily, and whispered: "Master, could it be that they are aiming at the wooden cage in the cave?" Did it come from the box?"
"Ninety-nine are not far from ten." Gu Ning slowly clenched his hands. The men in black who came today are probably Yan Yu's tricks, and it can be proved that it was not accidental that Yan Yu got the map in the book. I'm afraid he already knew that there was such a map under the cliff.
This is something that even the eldest princess and Xie Yan don't know about, how did Yan Yu know about it?
Gu Ning's heart was beating like thunder, and those uneasy emotions surged up instantly.
For her, the biggest threat is not Chu Yunyi, not Gu Qingqiu, but Yan Yu!
A look of uneasiness flashed across Gu Ning's eyes, Chunyu saw it, and immediately replied: "Master, don't worry, there are slaves here, and slaves will definitely protect you!"
"That being said..." Gu Ning pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "How can there be any reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days? Then we must not be exhausted? It is best to find a way to draw Yan Yu's attention away. "
After saying this, a brilliant idea popped up in Gu Ning's mind.
She blinked at Chunyu, and handed Chunyu the map stuffed in her sleeve.
"There are so many masters in the dark guards, find me the best faker." Gu Ning quickly said, "I want a map with exactly the same material as this map, but with completely different lines on it."
Chunyu looked at the map that Gu Ning carefully protected and didn't want to show her all the way, and stood there in amazement: "You trust the slave so much?"
"You are the person my grandmother gave me, and you must be the most trustworthy person." Gu Ning took advantage of her height and patted her on the shoulder, "But this map is of great importance. Do you know the private treasury of the late emperor?"
In an instant, Chunyu forgot what she wanted to say.
She froze for a while, then stammered and pointed at the map, and asked cautiously, "Do you mean to say that this map is the private treasury of the late emperor..."
"Smart." Gu Ning exhorted, "Since you know its importance, you must find a reliable person to imitate the fake map!"
Chunyu immediately understood that Gu Ning wanted to use the imitation map to confuse the enemy, she nodded quickly, carefully put the map into her inner pocket, and whispered: "Your servant will be careful!"
The fact that there were assassins in the camp made the emperor's already uneasy heart even more restless.
The autumn hunt was originally a grand event, but this wave after wave of turmoil made him very bored, first there was a tiger, then there was an assassin, and everything told him that someone was watching his throne.
Early the next morning, all the adult princes were scolded by the emperor for reasons.
They knew that the emperor suspected all of them at this time.
All of a sudden, the camp was full of fear and panic.
And those men in black seemed to have disappeared, since they appeared in the night, they never came to the camp again.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Taifu is here."
Upon hearing this, the happy emperor, who was lying in the arms of the beauty, sat up with a worried face.
"What is he doing?"
"It seems to be for the assassination last time." Li Dehai whispered, "Looking at Jiang Taifu's face, it seems to be something."
Hearing this, the unhappiness on the emperor's face dissipated a lot.
He nodded, let the beauties around him retreat behind the screen, tidied up his clothes, and received Jiang Taifu.
As soon as Jiang Taifu entered, he felt the thick atmosphere in the tent. He was displeased, but he still respectfully bowed to the emperor and presented a memorial to the emperor.
The emperor casually flipped through it, but he didn't want to read the densely packed words on it, and said impatiently: "The Taifu has something to say, and it's just you and me, why bother to write another book? I didn't come to Autumn Hunting to deal with state affairs. "
As a matter of course, he threw the memorial to the corner of the desk, his overworked face was full of impatience.
Jiang Taifu endured and endured, suppressed the bad breath in his heart, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, regarding the origin of the men in black, I have found evidence, and many imperial soldiers who fought with them saw it from the back of their necks." bears the mark of a white wolf."
The emperor was drinking tea casually, but after hearing this, he immediately put down the teacup heavily: "White wolf mark?"
"Exactly." Jiang Taifu said in a deep voice, "This is the exclusive mark of the Huns!"
The emperor realized the seriousness of the matter for the first time. He held the handrail uneasily and murmured, "How could it be the Huns? How could they come to the capital without being noticed?"
For a while, all kinds of speculations about the collusion between the Huns and the people in the court filled the emperor's mind. He fidgeted and thought about it, and finally remembered the existence of Jiang Taifu.
"What's the Taifu's opinion?" The emperor looked at Jiang Taifu eagerly.
Jiang Taifu stood with his hands folded: "The Huns have infiltrated the hunting ground unknowingly. I am afraid that they may have colluded with the ministers of the court. In my humble opinion, the imperial army should be inspected immediately. They must be checked one by one, and the spies must be found out.”
"In addition, after repeated inspections of the hunting grounds, there are still fish that slipped through the net. The commander of the imperial army, Pei Anlin, and his subordinates failed to do their job well, so they should be punished!"
Jiang Taifu looked upright, as if he pursued Pei Anlin, Xie Yan and others only for the emperor's safety.
After hearing his words, the anxious emperor did not agree immediately, but said in a deep tone: "Do you really want to do this?"
"If your majesty suspects that this humble minister is acting for selfishness, I would like to take the lead and ask the emperor to send someone to investigate the people accompanying Jiang's mansion!" Jiang Taifu knelt heavily and said loudly, "Besides, this humble minister, as the grand master, has given the Huns a chance to take advantage of it." If you fail to perform your due duties, you will be punished by the emperor just like the commander of the Imperial Army and others!"
His words were sincere, and the emperor quickly dispelled his doubts.
However, after thinking for a moment, the emperor waved his hands: "You are all my ministers, and you must not be punished at will."
"It's better to first check the imperial army and the accompanying ministers, ministers' families, accompanying guards, and maidservants to see if there are any suspicious persons. As for other matters, forget it."
The emperor obviously didn't want to offend the Pei family and the Jiang family at the same time. Although he didn't care about state affairs, he also understood the importance of the Jiang family and the Pei family.
Jiang Taifu's face was not very good, but he still took the order to leave.
In the camp that is completely silent.
Gu Qingqiu's pitch-black pupils were filled with faint yellow candlelight, and a coldness flashed across her eyes.
"You mean that Gu Ning went to a private meeting in the forest?"
