Chapter 25: National Public Opinion Map
The prince looked at the empty bedroom, every inch of which made him feel extremely depressed.
If no one came in as the guard said, how did these things disappear? I couldn't help but think of the secret message reported by the spy at night.
Things from the Censorate also disappeared while they were being moved.
Even if I didn't want to believe in such unlucky things, I began to have some doubts.
On the other side, the prince received a letter from the spy and made plans overnight.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
…
After Xie Zhizhi left the palace, he walked around most of the imperial city and returned to the remote little house.
When she entered the nearby forest, she appeared.
A glance at the time showed that it was already past the hour of Xu.
Xie Zhizhi was wearing an old dress with floral patterns and a hairpin, and she ran very fast and nimbly to the front of the small house.
Jingyi and Jinger were already waiting at the door.
As soon as they saw the familiar figure, they went to greet her, "Miss!"
Jing Yi took out a still warm cake from his chest, put it around her left side, and said, "Miss, you didn't bring any money when you went out. Are you hungry? Here you go."
"Xiaoyi is so nice." Even though she wasn't hungry, she reached out to take it and took a bite. It was filled with meat and the aroma was fragrant. The skin was fried crispy and fragrant. "It's really good. I want to go to the one in West City, right?"
The meat pie shop that the original owner loved most in his memory was always crowded with people and you had to queue up if you wanted to buy something.
Jing Er nodded, walked around Xie Zhizhi, and was relieved after confirming that she was not injured. He was very worried about her, so he asked, "Miss, I really had nothing to do, so I went to Xicheng to buy meat cakes. Where did you go, Miss?"
"I went to rob a house!" Xie Zhizhi pulled them into the house, "Let's talk inside."
They entered the house. This small house was located in a remote area with few neighbors around.
There were candles lit in the room, the wooden table was wiped clean, and a pot of steaming hot tea was placed on it.
Jing Er was amused and laughed: "Where did the young lady go to rob?"
"I was lying to you." Xie Zhizhi smiled with her eyes crescent-shaped, and ate meat pie with a big mouthful. This was the original taste without additives that could not be eaten in modern times. She didn't tell them for the time being.
"Then Miss, shall we set off to the border to find the general tomorrow?" Jing Yi sat down on the chair. No matter whether the general died or not, the result would be the same. He could only jump into the river. He believed that the general had saved countless people and was blessed with great fortune. He would definitely not die so easily.
"Not yet." Xie Zhizhi still wanted to find the map of the world, "We can't leave the imperial city until we find the map of the world of the world. If we leave the imperial city, we really won't have the chance to find it somewhere else."
"Miss, haven't you found it in the general's study?" Jing Yi was puzzled and frowned slightly: "If the general's mansion can't find it, then the dog emperor can't find it."
Xie Zhizhi suddenly slapped his thigh, Ouch!
She forgot to go to the Imperial Study!
Maybe it's true!
Go again tomorrow.
"I'll go out and look for it tomorrow." She didn't know what she was thinking. She took out the box left by Xie Zongyi from the space and put it on the table. "I found this in my father's study. There are only the warehouse key and some parchment in it. Can you see if there are any hidden devices?"
Jing Er sat on her left side, took a closer look, and found that the lock of the box was broken. It must be the young lady's great strength that opened the lid of the wooden box directly.
There was a layer of parchment underneath, and on top of it was a key.
"Miss, have I taken out all the things?"
"Take it." Xie Zhizhi bit off the last cookie, wiped her mouth, drank some hot tea, and saw that after Jing Er took out the parchment and key, there was nothing left inside.
Jing Yi watched the whole process and asked, "Can this parchment be opened?"
"Open! See what's there." Xie Zhizhi took it casually. Jing Yi took away the teapot and teacup with a sharp glance. She spread them out directly on the square wooden table.
I thought it was some letter or something.
But as the parchment was unfolded bit by bit, a shocking map of the water road appeared before our eyes.
Xie Zhizhi never thought that Xie Zongyi would hide the military affairs map like this.
The parchment was stacked very thickly, more than ten to twenty centimeters high, and the table could not be fully opened.
"Just put it on the ground." Xie Zhizhi and the others each grabbed a corner and pulled it to the ground and put it down.
After a little development, I found that the map is very rich in content, with dense rivers, city camps, narrow paths, and iconic buildings. Across the border, southern Xinjiang, and Dongling, there is a different national map!
"This is the Western Region!" Jing Yi pointed at a place and looked at the grassland in surprise.
