Chapter 437 Entering the Camp
"We were careless. We thought that the man was a fake and what his purpose was, but we forgot that the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind!"
After hearing Uncle Su's words, Du Jingyi didn't take it to heart. Instead, he smiled and said.
"Granduncle and uncle, don't be like this. Your reaction only makes the other party more certain. There are only thieves who have been thieves for a thousand years, but no one can guard against thieves for a thousand years. Besides, it is not possible to hide Yan Zhiqing's identity for a lifetime, so it's revealed. It's okay to be open and aboveboard. I don't take this little thing to heart."
The Du Jingyi family concealed Yan Zhiqing's identity for their own safety at first, and to prevent those blood-sucking relatives of the Du family from having any thoughts.
And now, she and Gu Shaoyu have become a close couple, which means that the Du family can no longer protect themselves. Gu Shaoyu stands on the side of the prince, which means that their Du family also has to serve the prince.
So it is clear that even if she wants to hide it, she may not really be able to hide it.
Apart from anything else, those who are against the Gu family anytime and anywhere, I am afraid that a careful investigation will still find some clues, so after thinking of this, she no longer worries about when her identity will be discovered.
Anyway, it will be discovered sooner or later, so she simply doesn't want to hide it, and then she reminded.
"Since the other party has come to investigate, we can't hide it even if we want to. The most urgent thing is that my concubine is not worried about my identity being discovered, but whether it will be implicated in the things that the general is investigating. If there is really a connection, I am afraid that we will have more than one enemy."
Du Jingyi's words hit the point.
Although the father and son of the Su family did not know what Gu Shaoyu was investigating, they also heard a little about some things on the river, but if Gu Shaoyu didn't say it, they couldn't interrupt.
As for Gu Shaoyu, his face was also gloomy, but because of the habit he had developed over the years, he would not get angry in front of his family.
"Uncle, is the loss of the Su family serious?"
"It's 50% profit this year, but fortunately, money can never be fully earned, so if there is a loss, it's no big deal."
The money of the Su family can be said to be more than ten generations can use up, so for the father and son, this little money is really not worth it, but if this breath can't be vented, the face of the Su family will also be lost, so the person must be caught, and Uncle Su has even thought about how to deal with that person to regain his face!
He is the first one who dares to be so rampant in the Su family!
Gu Shaoyu nodded and said.
"That's good, uncle, rest assured, Shaoyu will give you an explanation for this matter. I know who it is."
"Who?"
"When the opportunity is right, I will tell uncle, but now is not the time."
Because of the special identity of Gu Shaoyu, the father and son of the Su family guessed that this matter must be related to the court dispute. The eldest branch of their Su family never touched this matter, so they didn't ask any more questions.
After saying goodbye to the father and son of the Su family, Gu Shaoyu took Du Jingyi away from the Su family.
When they left, they did not look back at the Gu family, but headed for the Hu Ben Army camp near Qingshui Town outside Jinling City. Seeing the scenery outside had changed, Du Jingyi was also worried.
"General, the camp is not for me to enter. I am afraid that I will cause some gossip to the general if I go there."
"What are you afraid of? It's just a few gossips. I will take it to heart? Besides, you know who can spread this. Once the news from your majesty arrives, these people will have nowhere to jump."
Hearing this, Du Jingyi did not say anything more. About an hour later, she followed Gu Shaoyu into the Hu Ben Army camp.
This was Du Jingyi's first time to enter the camp, and it was slightly different from what she imagined.
She thought that such a brave and combative Tiger Guards should be in serious training at any time, but who knew that she heard all kinds of thunderous laughter and fighting sounds as soon as she entered the camp.
Du Jingyi was not familiar with it, but Gu Shaoyu understood it.
It must be that their people started "fighting" with the navy camp again, so it was so lively, and then she explained to Du Jingyi.
"They have been fighting with the navy camp for so many months, so no one is willing to admit defeat. If they lose here, they will make up for it there. Therefore, the noises you hear now are just watching the excitement."
"General, don't you care?"
"Why should you care? They are all hot-blooded people. Fighting more will also be good for them. And there are people in the army who are in control, so they won't be red-eyed."
Du Jingyi nodded in understanding, and then didn't say anything more, and followed Gu Shaoyu into the central army tent.
As for Yingtao and Lizhu, they were naturally left outside the tent.
Yingtao was fine, standing calmly at the door waiting for the lady, but Lizhu had been training with the fourth lady for so long, and had heard her talk about many interesting things in the Gu family army, so she had longed for the military camp life.
However, she knew that her chance of going to the battlefield in this life was almost slim, so she took this opportunity to have twelve pairs of eyes and stare at the military camp thoroughly.
In the big tent, Du Jingyi saw the neatly arranged tables and beds as soon as he came in. It was simple and clear, but clean and neat. There were also two maps hanging inside, one of which was a survey map of Daxing, and the other was a map of Jinling City.
Du Jingyi stepped forward to take a closer look at these two pictures. They were quite different from those recorded by her father who traveled all over the country.
Hanging in the big tent are more records of the garrisons in various places, their strength, what they are good at, and the various dangerous mountains and rivers, rivers and inlets. What my father recorded is the folk customs, special products, etc. , at first glance, there is a difference between military strategists and merchants.
Gu Shaoyu didn't know what his wife was thinking at the moment. When he saw her looking at the map, he thought she was interested, so he explained.
"There are two pictures like this in the study of the General's Mansion. If you are interested, you can go and look in the study when you return to Sui'an City."
The one in the study was simpler than this, so Gu Shaoyu didn't leak military information.
Unexpectedly, Du Jingyi smiled and refused.
"General, let me go. If you ask me to look at the account book, I won't be bothered for three days and three nights. If you let me look at this, I'm afraid there will be a fight in half a quarter of an hour, so let's forget it. "
Seeing her shirk, Gu Shaoyu didn't force it anymore, but took out a map from a secret box under the desk, and then handed it to Du Jingyi.
