Princess Jinghe smiled and said, "No rush, my men will stop him. Come with me."
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
In a deserted alley two streets away from the Xie residence.
A man was pinned to the ground by four or five burly men and was completely unable to move.
Princess Jinghe approached and saw that the man on the ground was already tied up and beaten black and blue.
"Princess! The person has been captured!" said the armored soldier.
Princess Jinghe raised her hand.
Several men grabbed the man on the ground by the back of his collar and pulled him up.
Jinghe reached into the man's chest and quickly pulled out a piece of paper.
The man kept making "uh-uh-uh" noises, but was soon punched again and fell silent.
Jinghe unfolded the letter, inside which was a border defense deployment map.
The troop deployment at each pass was extremely detailed.
If an enemy state were to obtain this blueprint, it would be a near-catastrophic disaster for the Northern Qi.
When Jinghe saw this, she laughed even more heartily.
"What a Gu Jiangli! What a Gu family!"
Liu and General Xie, standing behind her, felt a chilling aura.
Jinghe ignored them and spoke to the remaining soldiers:
"Take this Gu family guard with you and return to the palace."
"yes!"
————
The Xie family.
Gu Jiangli lay on the recliner, while Hehua massaged her legs beside her.
"Miss's legs are a little swollen. It's really hard on you to worry about me while you're pregnant."
"Lotus, you've had a tough time these past two days. Being locked up there must have been tough for you. Please forgive me, but I had to wait until today to get you out in order to lower Liu's guard."
Lotus shook her head firmly: "Miss is too considerate of me. Although I am locked up, I have food and drink, and no one comes to beat or scold me. It is not hard for me."
Gu Jiangli looked at the sky with satisfaction.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, completely obscuring the sun.
At this moment, Xie Shiyan also came out of the back room, bringing out some fruit.
"Shiyan, things are about to change."
Xie Shiyan glanced at the sky indifferently and then said, "It's just a dark cloud. A gust of wind will blow it away."
Gu Jiangli relaxed his body and stretched. "Yes, everything is ready, except for that one crucial 'east wind'."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They both understood each other's feelings.
Shuang'er rushed over from outside the courtyard, and almost tripped and fell because she was walking too fast.
Shuang'er, who is usually so composed, rarely shows such an anxious expression.
"General, Madam, the Imperial Guards are just outside the gate. They want you both to set off immediately and enter the palace together."
