Chapter 64 Preparing to Return to Beijing

The path was also walked out by people, so there is such a road.

They didn't see anyone along the way, and it seemed that they could return to the capital safely. However, Gu Junqing looked up. She was sitting in the carriage and couldn't see outside. She could only rely on hearing.

The night passed peacefully. Since Suzhou and Yucheng were very close, they reached the outskirts of Yucheng in one night. It was early morning again and the city gate of Yucheng was not far away. They first found a secluded place in the suburbs to rest for a while, planning to sneak into the city gate when more people gathered at the gate.

I don't know what happened, the control of Yucheng city gate was very loose, the soldiers at the city gate didn't even look at them carefully, and let them go directly. Last night, I sent someone to inform Qingyi and the others that they would arrive in Yucheng at this time today, and they would be needed to pick them up.

Everything was going very smoothly, which made Gu Junqing feel that something was wrong. Logically speaking, Suzhou was in such a turmoil. Although she did not reveal her identity, in the eyes of outsiders, they were the masterminds. They should not be so calm and have no reaction at this time. Gu Junqing, who had been assassinated countless times over the years, could not help but wonder in her heart.

At this time, their group had already arrived at a small house. This house was secretly bought by Qingyi's men for the purpose of today's meeting.

After Qingyi knew that the general had arrived in Yucheng, she saw that the sky in Yucheng had become much brighter and a smile on her face was much more relaxed. At this time, she was still wearing makeup and a mask, still dressed as Gu Junqing. In front of her was the prefect of Yucheng who was discussing things with her. When he saw that she smiled more after coming out of the toilet, he felt a little puzzled and frightened for a moment, fearing that she was planning something big.

After the people left, the prefect of Yucheng sighed. He didn't expect that General Gu was such a frugal person with words. He said a lot but received few responses. Fortunately, he would leave tomorrow and the things in Yucheng would be completed soon. He didn't know why the emperor sent such a great man like General Gu to the small temple in Yucheng for such a small matter.

Half an hour later, Qingyi finally arrived at the small courtyard. Looking at the unharmed General Gu in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. When she saw Gu Junqing looking at her, she lowered her head.

Qinghe was standing behind her. Seeing her like this, she sighed and said nothing. But her helpless look made Gu Junqing stunned.

"What happened?"

Gu Junqing walked up to Qingyi, touched her head, and asked in a gentle voice.

At this moment, hearing Gu Junqing's gentle voice, Qingyi's eyes couldn't help but turn red, but her tone was hard:

"General, it's nothing. It was Qingyi who was reckless." Upon hearing this, Gu Junqing had to turn his attention to Qinghe, and Qinghe told her what happened that day.

Someone has rebelled.

Gu Junqing's eyes moved slightly.

"It seems that many of the problems are caused by our own people..."

She couldn't help but murmur.

Until she came back to her senses and saw the two girls in front of her looking at her with wide eyes and puzzled expressions, Gu Junqing shook his head and said nothing more. He just said that he would return to Beijing tomorrow and finish some follow-up work as soon as possible.

But before that, she still took a look at the prefect of Yucheng in person, and after trying a few times and failing to find out anything, she left.

Only the prefect of Yucheng was left sitting on the chair with lingering fear, thinking that this guy was still silent in the morning, how come he became so eloquent and imposing in just one afternoon? ! As expected, no one in the circle of the capital is simple! In the evening, everyone gathered in the small pavilion in the small courtyard.

Gu Junqing sat in the main seat while Qingyi and Qinghe stood behind her. After all, they were outside now, and the two of them sitting next to Gu Junqing would inevitably make the men present feel strange, which would damage the general's reputation. There was no need to pretend to be too intimate in front of their own people.

Zhen Qingyi sat opposite Gu Junqing, with Li Dahui beside him staring blankly at the sky. Duan Jun leaned against the pillar of the pavilion with his arms folded across his chest, looking around while still remaining alert.

But besides them, there were only some secret guards from the prison.

The wind blowing in Yucheng tonight is exceptionally gentle, making people unable to help but breathe lightly and relax their body and mind.

"General, after we leave, has the governor told you how he plans to deal with the situation in Suzhou City?"

Li Dahui retracted his gaze and looked at Gu Junqing who was drinking tea, and asked curiously. "Write a secret letter to the emperor and let him deal with it and hand in the evidence so that we can better convict him. As for the mine, the emperor will also deal with it. As a minister, we naturally put the emperor and the people first. The miners now have a place to go. We don't have to worry too much. Trust Lord Yang."

Gu Junqing answered slowly.

"But General, the death of the Tenth Princess can't be that simple, right? For example, why was the Tenth Princess in Suzhou City, and at whose hands did she die? Why was she hidden in a dark room by Huang Zhenxing, and why did he bury her in such a nonchalant manner?"

These words were spoken by Zhen Qingyi who was standing aside.

Gu Junqing sighed. This was a good question. Unfortunately, she didn’t know the answer. No matter in her past life or this life, there was no record of the Tenth Princess’ deeds. It was as if someone had deliberately concealed it.

This is probably something that only the Qi family knows. Of course, there is also Yu Xihou, the mastermind behind Huang Zhenxing. Thinking of Yu Xihou, Gu Junqing suddenly remembered that after they brought Huang Zhenxing to the capital, it was known by Lord Chu Shenchu of Changyuan Houfu. Wouldn't Huang Zhenxing be in trouble? After all, this guy killed all the tomb-robbing gangs of their Chu family.

Huang Zhenxing couldn't escape death, Yu Xihou didn't want him to have an easy time, and the people of the Shen family were just watching the show behind the scenes.

This change now has deviated from her original plan.

It seems that I can't be the last one to fish, but it is a rare opportunity. It's a pity that I have to find a way now.

When Zhen Qingyi saw that she did not answer but just sighed after he asked, he knew that General Gu did not know these things. His idea was similar to Gu Junqing's. He also felt that only the Qi family knew what was going on in this matter, or that the people behind Huang Zhenxing knew something.

At this time, Zhen Qingyi didn't know that the people behind Huang Zhenxing were the Yu family. On the contrary, he placed his suspicion on Duke Shen. After all, Gu Junqing never mentioned the Yu family, but only the mine evidence secret letter people. Duan Jun didn't have much to say. He was a man of few words, so Duan Jun looked at Gu Junqing and said:

"General, I will keep an eye on Huang Zhenxing tonight. He is alone in the woodshed, and I am worried!"

"go"

"Yes, my subordinates are resigning!"

After Duan Jun left, the few of them chatted for a while and then went back to their bedrooms to rest.
