First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 762 Brother and sister join forces (first update)

 The monarch waited outside for a long time, a little worried about what happened to the little princess.

 “Little snow.”

 He called out.

The little princess stood on the window sill, anxiously looking at Xiao Jiu holding a small bamboo tube in her mouth: "I, I, I... I'm still shitting! Don't come in!"

 The monarch sighed helplessly and continued to wait in the corridor.

After hesitating for a moment, he still felt uneasy and came to the door and said, "Don't fall in."

The little princess said: "I don't know how!"

She didn’t really poop, so how could she fall into the toilet?

The king wandered outside for a while: "Aren't you coming out yet?"

"almost done!"

 The king finally got tired of waiting. He always felt that there was something strange about the little guy.

 “I have come in,” said the king.

 The king pushed the door open.

 The little guy even locked the door!

 If there is a ghost, there must be a ghost!

 “Zhang Dequan.” The monarch called out solemnly.

Zhang Dequan understood, pulled out the hairpin from his head, reached in and pried off the door bolt.

He pushed open the door, and the king stepped in with a sullen face.

 “I knew you were causing trouble!”

The monarch looked seriously at Little Douding who was lying on the window sill. Little Douding was holding a big bird with both hands. Perhaps the monarch made too much movement and her little body trembled.

 When she turned around, she couldn't hide the guilty look of being caught.

 After seeing clearly that the big bird in her hand turned out to be an eagle, the monarch felt bad!

 “Come here!”

He gave the order, and Zhang Dequan rushed in with his guards. The guards took three steps at a time and flew towards the eagle that attacked the little princess.

 The little princess was so frightened that she let go.

Xiaojiu flapped her wings and flew away.

The little princess pursed her lips and cried loudly: "Wow - I finally caught Xiao Jiu - you scared Xiao Jiu away - I want Xiao Jiu - I want Xiao Jiu -"

 She can still say names.

The monarch walked over and slipped the little guy into his arms. He looked up and down to make sure he was not injured, and then asked: "What Xiaojiu?"

“It’s the bird just now, its name is Xiaojiu.”

“So you’re not here to cause trouble, but you just want to catch birds?”

The little princess howled twice, lowered her head and pointed her fingers.

This look in the eyes of the king means that he guessed right, the little guy is here to catch birds!

The king was furious: "That's an eagle. It can hurt people. Aren't you afraid of being bitten by it?"

The little princess said in a low voice, "Xiaojiu doesn't bite."

Look at this mouth, he has become more eloquent every day since he went to school.

 “Whose bird is it?” asked the king.

The little princess pursed her lips and said, "It's empty. Uncle, why does he have birds but I don't? I'm so sad."

 You will be sad because you have a bird, you are a little girl!

 The king supports his forehead.

What is all this about?

 The king made the little girl confused with anger. He took a deep breath and felt like he was going to run away at any moment.

 “Go back to the palace!”

  If she doesn't return to the palace, he's afraid he's going to spank her!

The little princess lowered her head and said, "Oh."

 The little princess was taken away by the monarch.

 When she returned to the carriage, she suddenly said: "Uncle, I want to hide inside, you look for me!"

Children really think about everything they want.

 “I’m not looking for you!” The monarch ruthlessly refused.

The little princess hugged the monarch's thigh and coquettishly said: "I want it, I want it, I want it, uncle is looking for Xiaoxue, please come~ Please~"

 It’s no use begging!

 “I only give you dozens of blows.” The monarch gritted his teeth.

“Uncle, it’s best, Xiaoxue loves you!” The little princess climbed onto the carriage, closed the curtain, and stuffed the small bamboo tubes in her book bag back into the secret compartment one by one.

 …

 Kilin Hall.

Both Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao went to the purple bamboo forest to chop bamboo. When Xiaojiu brought the bamboo tube over, only Shangguan Yan and Xiao Jingkong were in the room.

Shangguan Yan took a look at the bamboo tubes used by the emperor and knew that they belonged to the monarch.

 She couldn't move on her own, so she asked Xiao Jingkong to go over and ask what was going on.

"It's the teacher's test question." The little princess said, "Is the teacher here? Show it to the teacher quickly, before my uncle finds out."

 Gu Jiao was not here, so she couldn't see it at the moment, but Xiao Qingkong couldn't help but had an extraordinary memory, so he quickly wrote down the content of the test questions.

Xiao Jingkong is a rigorous child. He not only wrote down each note one by one, but also asked Yu He for six bamboo tubes to put the notes in, and carefully restored the details.

—The difference is that the monarch’s bamboo tube was the smallest one, while Yu He found him the largest bamboo tube.

So, when Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng came back from chopping bamboo, they saw six extra large bamboo tubes on the table.

　　Just, quite exaggerated.

 “What’s going on?” Xiao Heng asked.

“Xiaoxue said it was Jiaojiao’s test questions.” Xiao Jingkong patted her chest, “I memorized it, these are all written by me!”

 The two exchanged a look, test question? Is that what they think?

 The two of them took the test questions to the next door.

 Xiao Heng closed the door and sat down at the table with Gu Jiao.

“Six bamboo tubes, six promotion candidates...open them.” He looked at the bamboo tubes on the table and said.

"Yes." Gu Jiao casually picked up a bamboo tube, poured out the note inside, and read, "Enter the Songshan Mountains, raid the enemy camp near Biyue Spring, seize the secret letters, and send them to the First Beacon Fire Battalion, hand it over to the left deputy general of our battalion."

“It sounds like your final selection task.” Xiao Heng paused, “But why are there six bamboo tubes?”

Gu Jiao opened the second bamboo tube and said, "You are a masterpiece of the Turks. This is the real secret letter of the Turkic army. Quickly take the only secret letter to the First Beacon Camp and hand it to the right deputy general of the rebel army in this camp."

 “What do you mean?” Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Heng said: "The secret letter that was seized during the raid on the enemy camp was a fake secret letter. If he hadn't seen this bamboo tube, probably no one would have known that what he had taken away was a fake secret letter. In that case, even if he reached the end point, the mission would still be over. It was also a failure.”

Gu Jiao frowned: "What a thief. In this way, this task of escorting the real secret letter is more advantageous. You don't have to fight the enemy, and you don't have to worry about getting a fake secret letter."

Xiao Heng always felt that things were not that simple: "Let's look at the third one first."

Gu Jiao opened the third bamboo tube, and this time the situation unexpectedly changed: "Enter the Songshan Mountains, raid the enemy camp near Huangshupo, seize their secret letters, send them to the Second Beacon Camp, and hand them over in person Give it to the left deputy general of our camp."

 Gu Jiao then opened the fourth one.

"You are the Turks' detailed work. This is the real secret letter of the Turkic army. Quickly take the only secret letter to the Second Beacon Camp and hand it to the right deputy general of the rebel army in this camp."

“Hmm, is this a different location and NPC to complete the dungeon?”

 “What?” Xiao Heng didn’t understand the last two words.

Gu Jiao explained: "The location and characters are different, but the form of the mission is the same as the first group. One goes to the enemy camp to rob the fake one, and the other escorts the real one."

“Let’s take a look at the last two.” Xiao Heng said. He probably just changed the soup without changing the medicine.

As expected, the remaining two destinations were the Third Beacon Camp, and the raid location was Purple Grass Pond in the Songshan Mountains.

Gu Jiao made a summary: "This competition is divided into three groups. Each group has a cavalry and a craftsman. But how to determine the winner? For example, I, Gu Changqing, Han Wuye, we All three of them have won the lottery, and all of them have safely delivered the secret letters to their respective rebels, so who among us is the winner?"

Xiao Heng shook his head thoughtfully: "It is impossible to complete the tasks at the same time, it is only possible to fail at the same time."

Gu Jiao was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Heng opened the note: "If you look carefully at the details...'Hurry up and bring the only secret letter.' This one and only is the key point of the entire mission. You clearly have three details, why do you want to mention the only letter?"

Gu Jiao thought for a while: "Because the destination is different? For example, the only one who goes to the First Beacon Camp is this secret letter."

"Then there is no need to emphasize the uniqueness." Xiao Heng boldly analyzed, "I think the uniqueness means destroying the other two carefully crafted secret letters and turning your own secret letter into the only secret letter."

As he spoke, he opened another note belonging to the cavalry, "And the mission of the cavalry includes the word "they". Since the secret letter in the enemy camp is fake, they should refer to the three agents. "

 Gu Jiao understood when he said this: "So, the task of the cavalry is to grab three secret letters, and the task of the meticulous is to destroy the secret letters in the hands of others. In this way, there must be a fierce battle between the six people."

Xiao Heng sighed: "Three to rob and three to destroy. It's not just a fierce battle? It's simply a fight to the death."

 Gu Jiao thought of a possibility, frowned, and asked, "What if everything fails? For example, all the secret letters are destroyed."

Xiao Heng looked solemn: "The winner...is the king!"

 The king never wanted anyone to win from the beginning.

He first used the power of the top ten aristocratic families to get everyone to agree to the proposal to select the commander of the Black Wind Cavalry, and then used the selection rules to eliminate all the cavalry. In this way, he could say with a high voice - It's not that I won't give you a chance, it's that If you don't have the ability yourself, then I can only take back the Black Wind Cavalry for the time being.

Gu Jiao said: "Just like he took back the military power of the Mu family."

 The thoughts of the King of Yan are really deeper than the sea.

Xiao Heng stared at him and said: "This time it is not only a fight against the aristocratic family, but also a fight against the King of Yan. Fortunately, we know the test questions and have a great advantage."

Gu Jiao said seriously: "I won't let him get his wish."

She will not let the family get what they want. She must take back the Xuanyuan family’s Black Wind Cavalry!

 …

 The three-day period arrived as promised.

The six of Gu Jiao went to the Han family's cavalry camp to gather early in the morning. This round, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and the Duwei Mansion jointly proctored the exam.

The person coming from the Duwei Mansion is Wang Xu.

No one from the Wang family advanced this time. Wang Xu put his hope in Mu Qingchen, but when he saw Gu Jiao, he suddenly felt that it would be good if Gu Jiao advanced.

 The two of them had no communication at all, and they pretended not to know each other even if they saw them.

 After the group gathered together, they headed to the entrance of the Songshan Mountains.

 The Minister of War announced the rules for this round of assessments, which basically stated that the martial arts points should be competed until the point, and lives should not be harmed. Anyone who violates the rules will have their selection results cancelled, and will be sentenced according to the law.

 Then they began to enter the small bamboo houses one by one to draw lots.

 On the surface, the number plate is drawn, but it is actually the task of this selection.

 Wang Xu and Honglu Temple Minister were sitting in the small bamboo house. It was a relatively closed space. Except for the cavalry and the two examiners, no one knew the tasks on the note.

Gu Jiao was the last one to enter the small bamboo house. After she came out, the Minister of War rang the gong.

 The five of them rode into the mountains and soon separated from each other.

Only Gu Jiao was riding slowly and leisurely, more like riding a donkey than riding a horse. The examiners were anxious for her.

 You should go!

 Are you reluctant to leave us or something happened?

Gu Jiao was not reluctant to leave them.

After Gu Jiao waited for the others to go far enough, she quickly chased after Gu Changqing in the direction he left.

Gu Changqing was already waiting halfway.

Seeing her coming, he rode over and said, "They are all gone. It is safe here."

 “What did you draw?” Gu Jiao asked.

Gu Changqing handed her his note.

Gu Jiao looked at it intently and said, "You have drawn the cavalryman from the No. 1 Beacon Fire Camp. I am the craftsman from the No. 1 Beacon Fire Camp!"

Gu Changqing smiled slightly: "We are in the same battalion, which is great."

 He and his sister are destined to be together.

Gu Jiao: Well, as long as you’re happy.

Gu Changqing doesn't care at all that he is a cavalryman and his sister is a craftsman. Anyway, he can betray him at any time for his sister's sake.

Gu Changqing said in a good mood: "I saw that everyone was going in different directions, so I guessed that their destinations might be different, but I didn't guess that their identities were also different."

Gu Jiao told Gu Changqing the analysis of the six bamboo tubes.

Gu Changqing woke up from a dream: "I thought I could get the secret letter by raiding the enemy camp."

Gu Jiao waved her hand: "That's a fake secret letter. It's useless even if you get it. The real secret letter is in the hands of our three agents. They are still kept in the dark, let's go and rob them!"

 Gu Changqing looked at his sister dotingly: "Okay."

Gu Jiao asked: "Where did the four of them go?"

Gu Changqing said: "Taoist Master Qingfeng and Mu Qingchen went due east, and Master Han Wu and Jun Xiuhan went southeast. Who should we chase first?"
