"Qiu Yueniang, the second daughter of Marquis Xuanping, was once the twin sister of Xiao Guanyin in the capital. It is said that she died in the Northern Mongolian border war in the second year of Wuzhao."
"At the end of the same year, the Xuanping Hou Qiu Qili Tongbei Mongolia case occurred. All the men above fifteen years old in the whole family were executed at Caishikou, and their families and subordinates were all convicted." He said calmly.
The mysterious figure suddenly appeared, and with a strong sense of pressure, he opened his mouth and told all the details about himself.
Mrs. Yue paused for a moment, but still raised her eyes calmly: "Your Excellency is very knowledgeable."
The two maids beside her had already drawn their daggers and pointed at Qiao Yan defensively.
Qiao Yan narrowed his eyes: "I have something to discuss with Madam in detail. Can I speak alone?"
Mrs. Yue raised her hand and signaled the two maids to leave.
The two maids couldn't help but stop them: "Madam, you can't..."
"Go down!" Mrs. Yue interrupted them neatly.
The two maids always knew what kind of temper their wife was, so they could only sigh and glare at Qiao Yan warningly before leaving the room.
Only Mrs. Yue and Qiao Yan were left in the room.
Mrs. Yue casually took a new porcelain cup and placed it in front of him and poured a cup of tea: "Your Excellency, what do you want to say?"
Qiao Yan did not answer her, but brushed his white fingertips over the gleaming mother-of-pearl inlaid on the table: "Even a man who can afford golden nanmu, but the willow furniture in the same house, the lady seems to like willow very much."
."
Madam Yue's mood was waning: "Today, everyone has come to ask me what kind of furniture I like. Why, you think I have no good taste, so you are vying to give me a set of good furniture?"
Qiao Yan tapped the mother-of-pearl with his fingertips, then raised his deep eyes and looked at her intently: "No, I'm here to see my wife off to the Underworld."
Mrs. Yue was stunned, her beautiful and cold face trembled slightly, but she said nothing.
…
An hour later, two maids came in and saw Mrs. Yue drinking tea with a calm face.
"Madam, is that person... an assassin?" One person couldn't help but ask.
Mrs. Yue was silent for a while and sighed softly: "No, he can be regarded as an old friend."
At this time, there was a faint hint of dawn on the horizon, which was dark and hazy.
…
It was already three o'clock in the morning when Ming Lanruo woke up.
The sunlight fell in, forming a patch of gold on the ground. It was clearly June and the sun was shining in the mountains, but there was no warmth.
She sat up slowly and felt her pulse briefly. Apart from weakness, there was no major problem.
Ming Lanruo suddenly felt relaxed. It seemed that the new voodoo technique he had created by combining the Siamese head-lowering technique and rhubarb had much less backlash than the previous voodoo techniques in Miao territory.
But it's not the last moment yet. When the poison attacks, we can't take it lightly.
You will see the results in a few days.
She glanced at the bed opposite and saw a slender figure sleeping sideways.
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment. She had almost never seen Qiao Yan get up later than her. What did this man do last night?
She guessed, got out of bed, and walked to Qiao Yan.
Seeing that his eyelashes were long and slender, hanging down on his fair face like a gorgeous black feather fan, it seemed that the sleeping person had a sense of tranquility and vulnerability that was rarely seen in normal times.
Ming Lanruo didn't expect to see such a thing as fragility in this man.
She held her chin and looked at him carefully.
Suddenly, the closed eyes opened, and a vicious and sharp cold light suddenly shot out, but after the pupils reflected her appearance, they instantly became much warmer.
"Are you awake, Xiao Ming?"
Ming Lanruo: "..."
It's better to call her "Little Empress", it's much more pleasing to the ear than Xiao Ming, who often appears in children's enlightenment books.
She tilted her face lazily: "Well, I'm awake."
This man was afraid that if she moved, he would wake up and be very alert.
Qiao Yan was about to stand up when he saw her grabbing his sleeve: "Wait a minute."
Qiao Yan didn't move, raised his chin slightly, and was about to ask her what she wanted to do, when he saw her suddenly come over and gently suck on his thin scarlet lips.
"Morning." She smiled like a flower, her black hair was scattered, and she stretched out her hand to gently hook his Adam's apple affectionately and lazily.
Qiao Yan was stunned, his heart stopped and his body stiffened.
But Ming Lanruo had already stood up and walked away casually: "It's already this hour, just eat whatever you want, otherwise you won't want to eat anything for lunch after a while."
Qiao Yan glanced at his lower abdomen under the thin quilt, and as expected...he sighed softly.
It seems that he really exposed his secret yesterday and made her discover that the hidden scholar is him.
Otherwise, as a doctor, she knew that he had a special physical condition and that it was a sensitive time early in the morning, so she would act like this on purpose.
What a vengeful little lady!
He simply got up and went to take a shower.
…
three days later
Gujiazhai Assembly Hall
"Everyone, the imperial army will be approaching the city in the near future. How are the war preparations going?" Master Gu stood in front of the terrain sand table with a solemn expression.
The third master came out and clasped his fists: "Master, we are in charge of the weapons. Shenji heavy crossbow, Zhuge serial crossbow, thunder and fire bombs, various light bows, hammers, kerosene, trebuchets, swords, etc... can be armed.
The weapons of the two hundred thousand armored soldiers are all ready!"
Several heads of family came out——
"The food in my city is enough to support the entire city for three years!"
"The traps outside the city have begun to be laid, and now more than half of them have been laid!"
"The melee and distant combat teams in the city are already in place! The war horses are also ready!"
"People have been assigned to guard the bunkers and tunnels in the city!"
"..."
Master Gu was very satisfied. He clenched his fist and slammed the table: "Very good. You still have the same courage as I did twenty years ago to fight on the battlefield. This time, let the eagles and dogs of the imperial court never come back!"
At this time, Gu Bijun was sitting in a wheelchair, but suddenly said: "Father, let me add a few comments."
Although Mr. Gu was dissatisfied with Gu Bijun's excessive promiscuity in personal matters, he always valued this smart and spicy daughter, so he nodded: "Bijun, say it!"
Gu Bijun played with the dagger in his hand and said coldly: "First, we need to impose a curfew immediately. After the sun sets, we can only enter and exit according to the right sign to prevent the imperial spies from causing wanton destruction!"
"Second, cut down all the trees within a hundred meters outside my city to prevent the imperial army from using the trees to carry out conspiracy and attack the city at night. The cut trees can also be used as knocking wood!"
All the village leaders nodded approvingly.
Although Miss Gu is a very promiscuous person, she is very clever and clever! She has never fought in a war, but she can quickly add two important things.
Master Gu also stroked his beard with satisfaction: "What you say makes sense, send someone to implement it immediately!"
Seeing that her father was in a good mood, Gu Bijun rolled his eyes, smiled and held his hands.
"Since my father thinks it's reasonable, why don't you give me the patrol team in the city, and I will catch all the suspicious people, so that my brother will have no worries on the front line!"
If this were at the foot of the mountain, she could kill Xiao Qiao right away, but now she could only rely on the patrol team.
Gu Dayi was accustomed to loving her as a big sister and almost always responded to her requests. He had already been appointed as a pioneer officer today and had no time to take care of the security in the city. He would definitely agree to give her the patrol team.
As long as Xiao Qiao falls into her hands and is not a spy, she can also make him become a spy.
She just happened to try out the various tortures she had read about in the book on that young man. It would be interesting to torture that proud young man.
You can also take the opportunity to control the patrol and improve your status.
