Forced to redouble his efforts, Guard Zhang remained silent for a moment before finally accepting the arduous task. Thinking about what he had to do that night, he said helplessly, "Then I'll leave them out for the night and talk to them in detail tomorrow."
Gu Yuzhi nodded, glanced at the night sky outside that was shimmering with light, and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Guard Zhang, Prince Qi, you two go ahead and get busy."
To get to the island, we need to prepare a boat and things like that...
Seeing that Guard Zhang had already circled the screen, Gu Yuzhi remembered something else and hurriedly called out, "Guard Zhang, I forgot to ask, did those leading generals give any information about the situation on the back lake?"
Especially the general at Yuding Gate, he should be one of the private soldiers of the King of Chu.
According to Qi Shizi's previous idea, these private soldiers were initially hidden on Houhu Island, so he must have known about the layout of Houhu Island.
Upon hearing Gu Yuzhi's words, Guard Zhang slapped his forehead and turned around, saying, "I completely forgot to tell Your Highness about this. The general at Yuding Gate did indeed confess."
Guard Zhang shook his head slightly: "But these people came from Houhu Island quite early, and they only know what Houhu Island looked like in its early days. A lot of new buildings have been added to Houhu Island in recent years, which they have no way of knowing."
They have already drawn a simple map of Houhu Island, and Mr. Huo, Jiang Kangming, and others are formulating a landing plan based on the map.
Hearing this, Gu Yuzhi patted his chest lightly: "That's good, that's good. Something is better than nothing."
When they were building Xinliang, the master they consulted said that city construction usually starts with the most basic elements, and subsequent construction is based on these foundations.
Therefore, in his view, Houhu Island must be the same.
Hearing this, Guard Zhang smiled and said, "Then Your Highness, I will take my leave now."
Gu Yuzhi waved his little hand, and after Guard Zhang left, he glanced at Chief Secretary Xie and Imperial Physician Qin. His big eyes darted around, and he hurriedly ran outside to look at the sky, calculating the time: "There's still quite a while until the end of Chou hour."
Teacher Shu said that children should go to bed early and get up early, but he slept for a long time during the day and is not sleepy at all now.
Since Judge Qin wouldn't let him practice martial arts, he didn't know what to do.
Just then, Judge Qin also took his leave.
There are relatively few doctors in Huizhou City who treat external injuries, and even fewer who are willing to go to the battlefield. Therefore, Imperial Physician Qin needs to go back to prepare and will go to the island with Qin Shinan and the prefectural physician.
He walked around in front of the door with his hands behind his back, then turned to look at Chief Secretary Xie, puffing out his cheeks, and said, "Chief Secretary Xie, now it's just the two of us."
He still has a whole night to go; he should do something.
Xie Changshi wanted to go back to sleep.
But if they were to land on the island, all the guards in the manor would set off, leaving only the two of them. His Highness would surely be a little scared if he were alone.
Suppressing the urge to yawn, Chief Secretary Xie said softly, "Since there's nothing to do here, Your Highness, why don't you go practice your calligraphy?"
While in the northern desert, Your Highness didn't practice calligraphy much because of the upcoming battles. Now that you've been away for so long, I wonder if your handwriting has deteriorated.
Gu Yuzhi really wasn't interested in practicing calligraphy right now. He waved his hand and said, "I'm thinking about what happened on Houhu Island. I can't calm down. If I can't calm down, I can't practice calligraphy well. It's better not to practice at all."
Seeing this, Xie Changshi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "Your Highness, how about this, you write down what you have seen and heard along the way, especially the delicacies of Huizhou. After the situation in Jiangnan stabilizes, you can send these to the Emperor."
He emphasized, "His Majesty was made Crown Prince at a young age and has never left the capital."
What does it mean that he has never left the capital?
This means that the Emperor has never seen the scenery along the way!
My eyes lit up at the thought.
But he quickly pouted again: "Although I came to Huizhou, I didn't see any scenery along the way."
The first part was spent galloping on horseback, but later, due to infection and fever, they were mostly in a carriage.
Could he possibly be writing to his elder brother about how bumpy the carriage ride was and how tiring it was to ride on horseback?
Let's forget about it then!
Chief Secretary Xie secretly pinched his thumb, realizing he had forgotten about this for a moment, and whispered, "Then Your Highness can write about the delicacies of Baoyuezhai."
Gu Yuzhi bounced up and down lightly: "This is good, this is good! Although there are Jiangnan cuisines in the capital, they are really not as delicious as those from Baoyuezhai."
He couldn't actually recall what the Jiangnan cuisine he had eaten at the state banquet tasted like, but the dishes at the state banquet were almost all cold, so they tasted a bit strange.
For example, the cuisine served at state banquets in Beijing is not as delicious as the food made by Granny Xu.
Gu Yuzhi was delighted and wanted to show off to his elder brother, but more importantly, he wanted his mother to know that he was safe in Huizhou.
As he walked toward the study, Gu Yuzhi muttered to himself, "I wonder if my mother will be terrified when she finds out I've come to Huizhou."
They must have been terrified, worried about their safety in Huizhou.
Therefore, he not only had to record the delicacies of Baoyuezhai, but also had to draw them for his mother to see, so that she could see which dish looked pleasing to the eye.
When I come of age, I will bring my mother to Jiangnan so that she can also taste the delicacies of Baoyuezhai.
Seeing that he looked dejected but was still trying to comfort her, Shu Xiaohan felt a pang of sympathy: "Does Your Highness still remember what Physician Qin said, 'It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone'?"
Gu Yuzhi nodded and said, "I remember! That's why I didn't go to Houhu Island."
Otherwise, he could definitely have killed several enemies!
Guard Zhang told him that although he was slightly weaker than an adult man in terms of strength, he had the advantage of skill, and with the protection of the golden silk armor, he would hardly suffer serious injuries in battle.
Seeing his defiant look, Shu Xiaohan couldn't help but pinch his cheek: "Little Prince, you'll be painting and practicing calligraphy later, are you taking a break?"
"Listen to me, lie down and rest. If you stand for too long, those wounds that have just healed might reopen, wouldn't that be troublesome?"
Gu Yuzhi was about to jump into the study when Shu Xiaohan mentioned the scars on her legs. He then walked in steadily and with large strides, saying, "Of course, practicing calligraphy is a time for rest!"
Taking advantage of Xie Changshi's inattention, Gu Yuzhi waved his hand and said, "Teacher Shu, you don't understand. Practicing calligraphy uses the strength of the wrist. What does it have to do with my elbow?"
"Besides, Judge Qin's point is that we shouldn't use force. What's a little bit of force when practicing calligraphy!"
He wasn't going to sleep until Guard Zhang and his men returned victorious.
As Xie Changshi was grinding ink, he saw Gu Yuzhi angrily unfold the paper and stand there for a long time without making a move...
