After hearing her answer, Gu Yuan seemed quite satisfied and raised his lips reservedly.
Seeing this, Jiang Shanshan hugged him tightly. The two of them walked to the pavilion and sat down, then asked, "I heard that the Liao people are leaving?"
"Um."
"Why is it so sudden? Last time, didn't you say you would wait until the emperor offered sacrifices before leaving?"
"Maybe it's been a long time since I saw the defense plan, so I can't wait any longer."
"Is that so?"
Jiang Shanshan stared at him suspiciously, trying to find something from his indifferent expression, but unfortunately failed.
On the contrary, when he glanced at her, she couldn't help but look away.
She held her trembling heart.
I don’t know how many people have seen the elegant demeanor of Mr. Gu. The corner of his eyes looked like spring and snow, clear but not cold, charming but not charming.
Just a glance makes me almost unable to control myself.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan probably didn't know what she was thinking, so he just said, "What else do you think?"
Jiang Shanshan was silent, what did she just say?
Forget it, it's not important.
"Then when will they leave Beijing and which way will they take?" Her thoughts were clear.
Gu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he analyzed it without any concealment: "First take the waterway, then reach the land to the border and cross the plains."
"Border? Yanmen Pass?"
"No." Gu Yuan shook his head, "The Liao people must also know that the journey back is dangerous. They will be fine in Daxing, but they can no longer guarantee it after passing Daxing."
As he spoke, he broke off a flower and drew three places on the stone table with the stem.
"There are three borders, Yanmen Mountain, Damao Mountain, and the Baigou area. Baigou is the easternmost one. It is connected to Youyun Sixteen Continents in the north and has a flat plain. If they want to return to Liao, it is safest to take this road."
Because there is no place to ambush, it is much safer than the other two places.
Jiang Shanshan understood, it meant that they could not take action inside the country, but they could wait until they left the border before taking action.
Thinking of this, she looked at him with bright eyes, "When are you leaving, take me with you."
Her purpose is unabashed.
Yeluer dared to attack her in the gambling house, so he must be aware of her revenge.
She is not a good person, nor does she have a forgiving heart.
Any grudge will be remembered for a lifetime!
"Don't worry, we still need to make some arrangements. Then we can just take a shortcut to intercept them."
Decoration?
Jiang Shanshan thought for a while and didn't ask any more questions for the time being.
Soon, a message came from the other end of the hall, asking them to go back and have dinner together.
Li's face was filled with joy, and it seemed that she had a good conversation with the old master.
Looking at the latter, it seems to be no different from usual days.
However, the marriage certificate was properly kept by him.
For Mr. Li, this may be a happy event, but for Old Master, it is more complicated than words.
The two siblings lost their mothers when they were young, and now their biological father has ignored them, leaving only him, an old teacher, to take care of them.
It's really sad.
But more of it is resentment.
His disciple, such a proud daughter of heaven, has fallen to this level, and even his children have been abused.
Thinking of this, he said to Li in a very solemn tone: "Chang Hui, since this marriage has been decided, I hope you will be kind to Shanshan. Even if you don't care about Zhilan, please... for my sake."
Come on."
Li pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.
"Junior sister and I have the best relationship. I have always intended to treat her children well, and now we have a marriage as promised."
Otherwise, why would she turn a blind eye and watch their interactions.
The old master was surprised for a moment, "Really? I don't know."
Mrs. Li lowered her eyelashes, "From the moment I saw Shan Shan, I knew she was her daughter."
After all, no one can be found who is so similar to Lin Zhilan.
"It's good if you don't mind her identity. The aristocratic family has a lot of rules. Fortunately, the Gu family is the founding father of the country, and they don't behave like literati."
"Her identity?" Mrs. Li smiled, "Isn't Shanshan the daughter of Zhilan? What does it have to do with the Jiang family?"
She curled her red lips, as if she had never taken the Jiang family seriously.
The old master sighed, "That's what I say, but I can't explain the bloodline thing clearly!"
"oh……"
Mrs. Li didn't speak any more, just lowered her head and sipped her tea.
Seeing her being so unconcerned, the old master didn't know whether to laugh or worry.
That's all, just take it one step at a time. If anything happens in the future, he will still be there.
After the marriage was settled, Jiang Shanshan heard about the departure of the Liao people within two days. As for any alliance and marriage, Daxing declined as there was no suitable princess.
The Liao people also understood at this time that Daxing did not take them seriously and simply left.
Immediately afterwards came another sacrifice. It was not until that day that the courtiers discovered that the emperor had been replaced by the Sixth Prince.
Everyone was puzzled.
Only a few people who knew the reason showed worry in their eyes.
The sacrificial trip ended successfully, and then the news reached Jiang Shanshan.
At that time, she was packing up all her useful things.
"By the way, have you given the message to your two uncles?"
"I handed it over." Taohong said with a smile, "Thanks to you, otherwise they might really..."
If the assassination fails, there is only one end.
"My news can't be wrong." Jiang Shanshan took a few bottles of medicinal powder.
This is not something I didn't prepare last time and had to use powder to make up for it.
But real medicinal powder.
"By the way, pack me a few sets of light clothes, preferably for riding on the road."
Jiang Shanshan ordered.
Taohong agreed and rummaged through the cabinet, but she couldn't find the clothes she mentioned.
It is light and convenient for horseback riding. Among her piles of embroidered and woven clothes, the lightest one is also a long skirt with wide sleeves.
Traveling is okay, but riding a horse is really inconvenient.
"No." She said with a dull face.
Jiang Shanshan was surprised, so he put down the things on the table and went to see them in person, and then asked her to take a few pieces of silver and go out to buy a few sets.
Is it still a problem if money can solve it?
That night, she found Jiang Mingxuan who was studying in his room. When he saw her coming, the latter glanced at the night.
It’s almost the third update.
"Sister, what happened if you came here so late?"
"No, I just have something to tell you." As he spoke, he walked in and sat down at the table.
When Jiang Mingxuan heard this, he paused while reaching out to pour tea, and said, "Sister, are you going out?"
"Well, I have to leave Beijing recently, so I came here to talk to you, lest you think I ran away without saying a word."
"Are you... with Master Gu?"
"good."
"what's up?"
"Chasing Yeluer."
Jiang Mingxuan raised his eyelids, "Is he the little prince of Liao who hurt my sister?"
Jiang Shanshan nodded, seeing that he also wanted to follow, and said directly: "Stay at home and help me keep an eye on the Jiang family. They are restless. If they know that I have left Beijing, something might happen.
