Chapter 0012 Northern Army
Xiao Rong subconsciously looked at the guard and found that the guard saluted the old man, and then continued to guard the door without looking away.
Xiao Rong had roughly guessed this person's identity, but he still walked over with doubt.
After entering the side hall, there was no one else inside. The old man closed the door and looked at Xiao Rong carefully as if he was looking at his own grandson. Then he smiled and sighed, "He is really like a beautiful jade."
Xiao Rong: “…”
I was clearly complimenting him, but why does it feel so regretful when I say it?
Then, the old man introduced himself: "My surname is Gao, and my given name is Xunzhi."
Xiao Rong had already guessed it, and quickly bowed and saluted: "Prime Minister Gao!"
Gao Xunzhi waved his hand and said, "Hey, there's no need to call me Prime Minister. Just call me Mr. Gao. Come on, come over here."
As he spoke, Gao Xunzhi took the lead and walked to the wall. This side hall was the same as the main hall, empty. There were a few bows hanging on the wall, as well as leather used to maintain the bows and arrows. Gao Xunzhi lifted a piece of leather, revealing a crack in the wall through which light could be seen.
Then, Gao Xunzhi lowered his voice and said to Xiao Rong, "Last year, the king was extremely angry and overturned the table and threw weapons, piercing the wall. The craftsman who repaired the wall was not good at it, so he left a gap, which was just right for spying."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
He was completely confused: "Isn't this against the rules?"
Gao Xunzhi had his head pressed shut. Hearing this, he looked at Xiao Rong in surprise, "Is it against the rules to eavesdrop under the guards' noses?"
Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment, then shut up immediately and moved his head closer.
Not to mention, it's much clearer from here than from the gate. ...
The main hall separated by a wall.
Qu Yunmie: "Are you sure it's him?"
Yuan Baifu: "Although we have never seen the person, after interrogation, the commoners said that one of the people who often went to their homes to lobby had a long scar on his face and a big black mole on his right hand."
Qu Yunmie suddenly became quiet for a while. Xiao Rong couldn't hear any movement from him, so he looked through the gap. Unfortunately, he could only see the floor and couldn't see the person inside at all.
Qu Yunmie: "Where is he now?"
Yuan Baifu's voice was a little nervous: "I don't know..."
Qu Yunmie: "When did he escape?"
Yuan Baifu: "After the fall of Chenli County, this group of people fled under the pretext of reporting to the leader and asking for reinforcements."
Qu Yunmie: "Then why didn't you send a message to me from your personal soldiers?"
Yuan Baifu: "Your Majesty, a mere Li Xiuheng——"
There was a deafening bang, and Xiao Rong was almost frightened to jump up.
Gao Xunzhi listened attentively while touching his back very skillfully, with such a kind gesture, as if he was Xiao Rong's long-lost grandfather.
