The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

The Gu Mansion is the Gu family in public. This is where Gu Changqing lives in order to be close to the palace and avoid the nagging at home.

Logically…

Shen Qinglan didn't expect Gu Changqing to be here. His expression changed slightly, and then he sighed and said:

"Big Brother, it was Xiao Huazi who told us. Now is not the time to talk about this. I have to save people first."

Gu Changqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I thought so. It turned out to be Xiao Huazi! That kid really has a keen eye. He even pestered me to teach him the Baijie Pills. I will reward him after this is done."

After these words were spoken, not only Shen Qinglan, but even Di Shu and Yan Ge who were following behind couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

Shen Qinglan hesitated for a while before finally saying:

"Big Brother...I'm sorry."

Gu Changqing didn't know why Shen Qinglan wanted to apologize to him, but he didn't think much about it. He just asked someone to bring Master Yun Yan to the room first.

Shen Qinglan did not dare to delay and immediately began to pull out the arrow and stop the bleeding for Master Yun Yan.

Just when Shen Qinglan was stopping the bleeding for National Master Yun Yan, Gu Changqing came out and planned to treat the wounds of Di Shu and Brother Yan.

After all, it seems that the injuries of Di Shu and Brother Yan are no less serious than those of National Master Yun Yan.

As soon as he went out, Gu Changqing was stunned.

The gate to the yard was closed.

Di Shu, Brother Yan and the dozen or so other guards brought by Huo Zhanting were standing by, and lying on the ground was Xiao Huazi's body.

Gu Changqing's eyes flickered slightly, and looked a little dull.

Di Shu and Yan Ge looked at each other and said reluctantly:

"Just now, after Xiao Huazi sent us out, he was discovered by the Queen for some reason. The Queen wanted to use him to threaten us, but Xiao Huazi..."

"I'm sorry, we didn't protect Xiao Huazi well."

Both Di Shu and Yan Ge lowered their heads with guilt.

Gu Changqing finally came back to his senses, pursed his lips and said:

"Let me take care of your wounds first."

Di Shu and Brother Yan looked at Gu Changqing with some surprise.

But Gu Changqing acted as if nothing had happened. He turned around, took out the medicine box, and urged the two of them.

It seems that he doesn't look particularly sad.

Di Shu and Brother Yan looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything. They could only walk to Gu Changqing in silence and let him help treat the wound.

After Shen Qinglan treated Master Yun Yan's wound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the arrow missed her heart by an inch, otherwise she could not have been saved.

Maybe God never intended to accept Yun Yan as the National Master?

Huo Zhanting had been sitting aside, watching Shen Qinglan treat the wound quietly, with a tender look in his eyes.

"How did you come?"

After Shen Qinglan wiped her hands clean, she turned to look at Huo Zhanting and asked in confusion.

After all, logically speaking, Huo Zhanting shouldn't be here at this moment.

Huo Zhanting sighed, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he reached out and took Shen Qinglan's hand to apologize earnestly:

"Yan Ge'er sent someone to tell me. I was worried that something might happen, so I hurried over."

Originally, Huo Zhanting thought that although Shen Qinglan was trapped in the palace by the Queen, her life would not be in danger, so he dared to go out of the city without any worries.

But this security is based on the principle that Shen Qinglan will not leave the palace.

If Shen Qinglan wanted to escape, the Queen might not tolerate it.

Besides, Huo Zhanting knew that if Shen Qinglan tried so hard to escape from the palace, there must be something important that required her to come out!

Shen Qinglan nodded, and without wasting any more time, she directly told Huo Zhanting her guess.

First, there must be a secret passage in Tianqi Mountain that leads directly from Xinyi to Dayong, so they must find this secret passage and cut off Xinyi’s subsequent reinforcements.

Second, the queen has a backup plan, so even if Xinyi’s reinforcements are cut off, the queen’s backup plan will surely arrive in time.

By then, the country will still change hands, and Prince Zhan's mansion will be turned into bones and stepped on by others to take the throne.

After listening to Shen Qinglan's analysis, Huo Zhanting's brows furrowed more and more.

If so, then they would not only be fighting against Xinyi's troops, but also the Queen's men.

"So, for now, we must not only tie up the Xinyi army outside the city, but also block the passage to Tianqi Mountain in time. We must also find out where the Queen's backup is and intercept them..."

The more Huo Zhanting spoke, the heavier his tone became.

If that's the case, it would be too difficult!

He had to stay outside the city to defend against the enemy and keep the people there, so he couldn't split himself.

And finding someone else to lead the team to destroy the passage to Tianqi Mountain is not an easy task.

Most importantly, there is the Queen’s backup plan.

Not only do they have to find out where the Queen's back-up plan is, but they also have to get rid of these people in a timely manner.

This brings up another problem: they have no soldiers.

Shen Qinglan was silent for a while, then took out the map she had drawn when she was locked in the secret room.

Huo Zhanting took a closer look, his eyes full of shock.

"This map is more detailed than what we have now. Did you draw it?"

After gaining Shen Qinglan's recognition, Huo Zhanting began to admire Shen Qinglan even more.

Shen Qinglan looked at the map, constantly calculating in his mind.

She was wondering, if she were the queen, where would she place this support?

First of all, she must have a powerful army that only obeys her orders!

Secondly, this army cannot be too close to the capital, as it would be easily discovered by Emperor Jingren and would also be inconvenient to use.

But it can't be too far. If it is too far, she won't be able to get it when she needs it.

While looking at the map, Shen Qinglan pointed his finger at a place and asked:

"This... is the Beiyan Army, right?"

Huo Zhanting took a look, nodded and explained:

"Yes, the general of the Beiyan Army is named Zhou Wang, who is probably in his forties. He climbed up from the lowest level of the Fire Army. I heard that he is stubborn and never accepts olive branches from anyone, so he is unique."

Huo Zhanting spoke out the information he knew.

But after Huo Zhanting finished speaking, he looked at Shen Qinglan's expression, and after a moment of silence, he asked:

"Do you think there's something wrong with Zhou Wang?"

Shen Qinglan nodded, sat on the chair and said seriously: "Have you forgotten the surname of the Eighth Prince's wife?"

The eighth prince’s wife also has the surname Zhou.

There is no such coincidence in the world.

The Beiyan Army is neither too close nor too far from the capital, making it the most suitable place for the Queen to deploy it.

And Zhou Wang is a member of the Zhou family. It would be much more convenient for the queen to control him.

Furthermore, Shen Qinglan said with a heavy tone:

"Do you know where the Wang family's ancestral home is?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Zhanting's expression changed and he looked at Shen Qinglan in surprise.
