Chapter 336: Plan Failed

After watching the steward say some polite words to the guards, he immediately turned around and left.

Gu Junqing, who was hiding above, hurriedly followed.

Fortunately, this person did not wander around aimlessly. Instead, after walking for half an incense stick of time, he came to a small wooden house.

This little wooden house is quite unique, Gu Junqing thought silently in his heart.

You just have to find a tricky position to sneak in.

Fortunately, Gu Junqing was well versed in the ways of secret guards, and after observing the surroundings for a few times, he found a good entry point.

After she entered the cabin, Gu Junqing, who was hiding in the dark, looked at a young man who was eight feet tall and handsome standing in front of the former steward. There was no expression on his face, but there was a barely detectable smile in his indifferent eyes and brows, but from her perspective, he seemed a little sinister.

He didn't move his mouth and it was clear that he didn't say a word, but his temperament naturally carried a bit of arrogance and majesty, which made people who saw him naturally feel submissive.

It was like the butler, who had always maintained a disdainful and hypocritical attitude, looked straight at the ground, knelt on the ground, and behaved in a respectful and worshipful manner when he saw this man.

Gu Junqing didn't feel anything. After all, even the occasional pressure from the emperor didn't make her want to worship him. In her heart, she felt loyalty and awe for the emperor.

She watched all this with cold eyes, and even wanted to press her head to ask them to finish these polite words quickly so that they could get down to business.

After staying on the beam for a while, the master and servant finally finished their polite words. Then it was time to get down to business.

However, compared to what he said just now, the steward's bold words to those people whose identities he was not sure about sounded a bit fantastic.

The man's words were much more rational. He just said calmly:

"The people sent by the emperor have probably arrived today, or they are gathering information from somewhere in the imperial mausoleum. The imperial mausoleum is no longer safe, so we have gathered some necessary people and left tonight."

The steward's eyes flickered slightly as he lowered them. He understood what the man meant, but he did not say anything more. He just continued to maintain his respectful attitude and replied in a deep voice, "Yes, I will do it right away."

Then the butler did not dawdle like he did on the road just now, but left the cabin without any hesitation, leaving the man standing there alone.

The man turned sideways to face Gu Junqing, which made it difficult for her to see his specific expression, but it was still solemn. Gu Junqing knew after the man said that he wanted to take some people who were useful to him, and let those who were useless stay in the imperial mausoleum. The purpose was to use a sleight of hand to catch all the guards guarding the imperial mausoleum. By the time they reacted and arrested them, the Prince of Qing might have already left here with his men and escaped successfully.

Thinking of this, Gu Junqing couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. After all, it was too cruel and ruthless for that man to casually abandon those guards who had followed him for several years.

In fact, Gu Junqing could guess the man's identity at once. After all, considering the steward's respectful attitude just now and the words that the man said, it was not difficult to guess that this man was actually Prince Qing himself.

Prince Qing did not move, and Gu Junqing just stayed on the beam without making any noise.

However, the King of Qing just stood there, thinking about something, and it seemed that he had figured it out. So he did not stay in the cabin any longer, but turned around and left. Gu Junqing thought about whether he should continue to follow or quickly return to his original position to reunite with the three people.

After all, this hour is really too short.

Gu Junqing finally chose to return the same way he came, to prevent the three men from thinking that something had gone wrong with him and going out to look for him separately.

If this is true, then the more you search, the busier you will be, which would be a waste of time.

As for Prince Qing, it was enough for her to know that they would take action and leave the imperial mausoleum tonight.

They only need to take their men and ambush tightly at the surrounding intersections.

Why not just wait for the King of Qing to bring his men and then take the bait?

Gu Junqing returned the same way, and without alarming anyone, the four of them finally got together.

But no one spoke. Instead, everyone kept their eyes on Gu Junqing, waiting for his orders.

The location of this place is not very good and it is empty, which can easily cause an echo. If any noise caused accidentally is heard by the guards outside, all efforts will be wasted.

So Gu Junqing still made a gesture to retreat to the three people, and then made another gesture to retreat along the original route and leave here.

The three of them saw it clearly, so no one hesitated and turned around and walked back the way they came.

Their people were all guarding outside, but in order to avoid being discovered by the people around King Qing, those who were ambushing were slightly dispersed.

When Gu Junqing arrived, the tent had already been set up casually.

Then she summoned the officials who were accompanying her on this trip.

That person was from the prison, and his official position was much lower than Chen You's.

A group of people gathered together, talking about the news that Gu Junqing and others had heard from inside the imperial mausoleum.

Gu Jun didn’t know much, but the clues in these messages were more important than those of others.

The news that the other people heard was somewhat uncertain. One of them even said that Prince Qing might take his men to the entrance of the imperial mausoleum basement and take a long detour to the exit, and then completely escape from the imperial mausoleum.

Whether it is true or not, we will know after tonight.

Time passed quickly and it became dark in the blink of an eye.

Since the target's escape route was too wide, Gu Junqing led a group of people to ambush in the basement of the imperial mausoleum, while the others split into two groups and waited for news or other things elsewhere.

They just said it was at night, but there was no specific time period.

So everyone lay in ambush outside for an hour and a half, their eyes focused and without any distraction.

However, as time went on, they began to suspect that Prince Qing knew their plan and that they were lying in ambush outside. That was why he gave up his plan to escape tonight and decided to wait and see what would happen.

Gu Junqing didn't know, but she couldn't stop thinking in her heart that if she could not alert the enemy and destroy the buildings around the imperial mausoleum, she would have already brought a group of people and broke into the imperial mausoleum.
