Chapter 106 Departure Camp
Jiang Qingyue didn't expect to persuade Commander Guo to give up with just a few words.
“I understand. If something happens, I will call you. If I need to go out, I will also inform you. However, could you please have your people stay on the perimeter? After all, there is a difference between men and women, and it is ultimately inconvenient.”
After all, nobody likes having someone watching them all day long; it's really uncomfortable.
Commander Guo hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."
After all, Jiang Qingyue's request was perfectly reasonable. If he refused, and Jiang Qingyue complained to His Majesty, he would be in a difficult position to explain himself.
Anyway, his men have surrounded the yard, so there shouldn't be any problems.
"Then thank you very much, Commander Guo."
Next, in order to lower Commander Guo's guard, Jiang Qingyue would ask her people to accompany her whenever she left the courtyard. She would even have them disguised and accompany her when she went out on the street. It could be said that she cooperated so well that no one could find fault with her. Meanwhile, she was also waiting for news from Qin Xuanyu.
Commander Guo thus lowered his guard against Jiang Qingyue. Perhaps she really thought that they were there to protect her, which is why she cooperated so well.
It was precisely because of Commander Guo's laxity that Qin Xuanyu found an opportunity to sneak into Jiang Qingyue's room again.
Jiang Qingyue quickly glanced at the courtyard gate, closed the house door, and anxiously stepped forward to grab Qin Xuanyu's hand, "How is it? Any news?"
Qin Xuanyu didn't speak, but looked down at Jiang Qingyue's hand that was holding his. Jiang Qingyue then realized that she had been too hasty and quickly let go, "I'm sorry..."
Qin Xuanyu withdrew his gaze, still feeling the lingering warmth of Jiang Qingyue on his arm.
He became much more serious. "There's still no news of General Gu. However, the only thing we can be sure of is that he should still be alive. Someone risked their life to go in and search for him, and found the marks left by General Gu. But because the poisonous miasma inside was too potent, everyone who went in was infected by the miasma and couldn't go any further, so they had to turn back."
I've already put in the necessary connections. When the time comes, we'll enter the camp as doctors to treat them, assess the extent of the miasma, and then plan our next steps.
It can be said that Qin Xuanyu arranged this matter very clearly.
Jiang Qingyue nodded. "That's the only way. Wait a minute, shall we?"
Jiang Qingyue caught Qin Xuanyu's words, "You want to come too?"
Qin Xuanyu nodded, "I'm worried about leaving you alone."
Qin Xuanyu's sudden and blunt words left Jiang Qingyue momentarily speechless. She opened her mouth, "You... whatever you want..."
After saying that, she quickly turned around, calmed her pounding heart, and then started packing her clothes.
With Qin Xuanyu's help and Jiang Qingyue's deliberate cooperation, they easily escaped Commander Guo's control.
As for what happens to them after they find out I'm gone, that's not something I should worry about. Even if I return, the emperor can't punish me for it.
It wasn't until the next day that Commander Guo discovered Jiang Qingyue was missing.
He rushed into the palace and reported the situation. The emperor dispatched a large number of troops to guard all the city gates, preparing to prevent Jiang Qingyue from leaving.
Because nobody knows what will happen once she leaves.
If they bring General Gu back, everything will be fine. If they don't, it won't be a big problem either. The worst thing is if she gets into trouble because of this, then all their plans will fall apart.
Thinking about this, both the emperor and the crown prince had a great headache.
"Father, what should we do?"
The emperor rubbed his temples. "What can we do? We can only send people to chase after them."
Qin Jinghao's eyes flickered slightly, and he hesitated before speaking, "What if we catch up? Should we forcibly bring her back? As for the Gu family, I'm afraid..."
Qin Jinghao's biggest worry was that Jiang Qingyue would reunite with the Gu family, which would make things much more difficult.
The emperor was well aware of this. "Bring her back directly, but if she has already joined up with the Gu family army, then there's nothing we can do but let her come back with the Gu family army!"
The emperor looked ahead with a dangerous gaze.
This Jiang Qingyue... seems quite extraordinary! She actually managed to slip away right under Commander Guo's nose; he underestimated her.
Meanwhile, the emperor was also praying that General Gu would disappear completely, which would make things much simpler.
……
At this very moment, Jiang Qingyue and Qin Xuanyu were already heading to the location where the Gu family army was stationed, completely unconcerned about how the emperor and the crown prince would be troubled by this.
Qin Xuanyu wasn't worried about them suspecting him, because a few days ago he had already claimed to be ill and went to recuperate, telling the emperor that the poison was acting up and he needed to suppress it and recuperate for a while. In addition, there was no open relationship between Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue, so they wouldn't make any connections for the time being.
As the two hurried along, passing through the city gates, they naturally noticed the unusual garrison and realized that they were being prepared to arrest them!
So, Jiang Qingyue disguised herself and Qin Xuanyu. Jiang Qingyue became a rustic village girl with some dark spots on her face, while Qin Xuanyu became a hunchbacked, scarred man. The two pretended to be a couple visiting relatives and perfectly fooled the soldiers guarding the city.
After comparing the portrait with Jiang Qingyue's current face, they impatiently waved their hands and let them pass.
After traveling day and night for more than ten days, the two arrived near the Gu family army's garrison.
Along the way, they stopped frequently, rested briefly, and then continued on their way, changing horses one after another, finally arriving here at top speed.
As soon as Qin Xuanyu arrived nearby, he left a secret signal. His men hiding in the area immediately contacted the Gu family army, and one of the captains came to pick up Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue.
"You two must be the renowned doctors skilled in detoxification, right?" Upon receiving the news, the captain's previously anxious heart finally calmed down a little.
Those soldiers who entered the Misty Forest were all infected with miasma to varying degrees, and many doctors tried to help them, but to no avail.
Later, a former comrade-in-arms told me that there was a pair of itinerant doctors in our hometown who were skilled in treating all kinds of miasma and poisons, so we specially invited them over.
"Yes, General," Qin Xuanyu replied.
"Please, both of you!"
When strangers arrived at the camp, the entire Gu family army kept their eyes on Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue, ready to seize them at the slightest sign of trouble.
After the captain reported and explained to the Left General, the surrounding gazes gradually disappeared.
Jiang Qingyue told them to take her to check on the miasma situation immediately.
The medical treatment was just an excuse; Jiang Qingyue's true purpose was to check the situation of the miasma, find countermeasures, and head to the Misty Forest to find her maternal grandfather!
