Queen is fearless

Chapter 645 Speculation
The arrival of Zhishu put Lian Zhaoyi in a very good mood. She looked in the direction where the girl left and explained to her.

After hearing Lian Zhaoyi's words, Zhishu couldn't help but also looked in the direction of the girl's departure. She had already boarded the carriage and was walking farther and farther.

"I'll let someone move things in, and you come into the house with me to keep warm and talk for a while."

Concubine Hui probably came here before, lived there for a few days, and chatted with her a lot. Zhishu felt that Lian Zhaoyi's temperament was much better than the last time he saw her.

She responded, guessing that Lian Zhaoyi wanted to ask about the situation in the palace, so she followed her back to the house.

The servants carefully moved all the New Year's gifts in the carriage to the room designated by Lian Zhaoyi. Afterwards, when Lian Zhaoyi was free, he would go and see what was there by himself.

After entering the house, Zhishu handed her the gift lists of Fengyang Palace and Zhaochun Palace, so that when comparing them, there is no need to worry about missing things.

"How's the situation in the palace? Is the Empress okay? Where's Sister Jiang?"

Sure enough, it was the empress who Lian Zhaoyi asked first, and then Concubine Hui.

Zhishu didn't care, he already knew that Lian Zhaoyi cared more about the empress than her master.

She smiled and responded to Lian Zhaoyi's question.

"You're not in the palace. The Chinese New Year is coming, and the empress has to do the work herself. Our mistress is helping me, and the preparations are very thorough."

Concubine Hui has been in the palace for many years, and it took more than a day or two to prepare for the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, not to mention that the emperor said that everything will be simplified this year, making it easier to organize.

"The queen's confinement was confinement at the end of October, and her recovery is not bad, but because of an accident during the delivery, her blood is not enough, so now, her complexion has not recovered."

"Your Majesty has a very good doctor by her side. You don't have to worry. She said she is taking care of her slowly, and she will come back next year anyway."

"Our master, nothing has changed since the last time you saw her. She even asked her servants to come and look at you carefully before going back and telling her."

After Zhishu finished speaking, Lian Zhaoyi couldn't help laughing, and her mood became better.

"Your Majesty and Elder Sister Jiang have prepared gifts for me, and I am also prepared. After you eat here, I will have someone put them in the car for you, and you can take them home."

Originally, Zhishu wanted to refuse, but when the word was brought and the things were delivered, it was time to go back and report.

But looking at Lian Zhaoyi's hopeful face, he couldn't say no to it.

What's more, Lian Zhaoyi in front of him had a kind face, not as scary as before, and he couldn't see the blood-red centipede either.

The book of knowledge was confirmed, and Lian Zhaoyi ordered people to prepare lunch.

…………

Outside the border, Gu Anzhi led the soldiers, left the border again, and walked towards the place where the abnormality was found yesterday.

As early as dawn, Xuanguo's soldiers took his soldiers and hid.

He originally wanted to hide in a safe place with his team, but the people in the tribe refused to allow him to leave.

In desperation, he had no choice but to stay, staring at the tunnel, and the people in the tribe continued to work.

This place was searched yesterday, and he reckoned that it should be changed today.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt a slight tremor, his expression changed, and he ordered the tribe to stop.

They were eager to stop, so they stopped one by one and looked towards him.

"There are people above." It can cause a certain amount of shock, indicating that there are a lot of people, and I don't know whether the people above are continuing to search this place, or just passing by.

At this moment, there is no way to go out to have a look, so I have to hide in the tunnel and endure.

"Hey, come here." Suddenly, the leader of the tribe in charge greeted the soldiers, and he approached him with some doubts.

"You can look up from here." Since the people of the tribe are good at digging holes and tunnels, they will naturally leave some convenience for themselves, so they can't just dig indiscriminately.

As he said this, the soldiers' eyes lit up, and they took advantage of the place they had prepared to look outside.

Sure enough, there were quite a few people who seemed to be searching around here. I don't know if they were looking for them, or just searching like before?

"We won't be discovered, right?" He looked back at the leader, a little worried.

The other party shook his head with a smug expression on his face. It was impossible for them to be discovered.

Don't think they are digging tunnels, but since they are good at it, they must have thought of everything.

They used to use hand-to-hand sneak attacks to make the enemy have nothing to do. Of course, they have undergone repeated improvements to ensure that they are foolproof.

Otherwise, what's the use of digging the tunnel or not.

Seeing him shaking his head with such an expression, the soldiers were relieved.

On the ground, Gu Anzhi was leading people to search here, secretly anxious.

He was very sure that the hidden guards did not mishear, there were indeed people, and they were people from Xuanguo, but...it looked like there was no problem at all around here, it didn't look like someone had stepped on it?
For a while, he was a little anxious, so he led the soldiers to search in the direction of the capital along this side.

He found a slightly higher open space and looked around, but nothing happened, which made his anxiety even stronger.

After all, where are these Xuanguo people hiding?I can't see anywhere, can I still drill into the ground?
and many more……

Suddenly, Gu Anzhi had a flash of inspiration. When he was in the capital, the emperor told him about his father's injury. He once said that there was a tribe who had many contacts with the people of Xuanguo.

In addition to raising horses well, the people in that tribe are also very good at digging holes. Even a solid city wall can be dug up as long as there is enough time.

"Could it be that the Xuanguo people asked them to dig a hole?" He muttered something in a low voice, probably only he could hear it clearly.

He looked suspiciously at the ground, trying to find something out of the ordinary.

In such a short time, Gu Anzhi had many thoughts in his mind.

If Xuanguo really used the tribesmen to dig holes outside the border, then it would be normal for them not to be found for a while, and it is very likely that they are all hidden underground.

It's just that such a thing may not last for too long, and it is impossible for him to come here for a walk every day. After a long time, he will definitely be suspected.

In the current situation, it is best to be caught off guard, which is the most beneficial for the border, but first, he must find their hiding place.

There is one more thing that must be guarded against. People in the tribe can dig pits and holes. If they are thinking about digging into the border, what should they do?

Gu Anzhi felt that, just in case, it was time to contact the stonemasons and blacksmiths in the city to order some things in large quantities, and to set up more people in relatively weak places.

In addition, laying iron or stone slabs, regardless of the cost, so that even if they really dig a hole, they will never think about it when they reach the border!
