Chen Duan stood with his back bent, looking at the slender figure intently.
The veil that covered her from head to toe covered her so tightly that he couldn't see her face, let alone her eyes.
But, did he seem to see a little bit of starlight?
She is indeed the daughter of the Gu family who has been "famous for a long time".
It seems that some of the things in the rumors are not entirely false.
The rise of the Gu family in Lingnan must have something to do with that little girl.
Gu Qingcheng glanced lightly at the figure standing high on the city wall. It was a bit far away, and he couldn't see the person's face clearly even if he looked up.
Bu Nao, just a head taller than an ordinary person, is enough to prove that Chen Duan is "different".
At that time, the height of the battlements was about seven feet (1.6 meters).
Chen Duan stood in front of the battlement, with half of his body exposed, rather than half of his head or the top of his head like many southern soldiers. It can be inferred that he was more than eight feet tall.
Converted to centimeters, it is estimated to be 190.
So tall, even in the later generations with overnutrition and improved physical fitness, he is still considered tall. In ancient times, he was simply not a giant!
Gu Qingcheng secretly nodded, not to mention his strength, but his height alone made him look like a tough general.
"Huh? Is the little girl from the Gu family looking at him?"
"Do you think that by hiding behind Mi Ling, you can be unscrupulous?"
"Are you really brave?"
Chen Duan found that the little girl actually raised her head and looked at him openly, which made her feel even more interesting.
Although a fourteen-year-old girl can already talk about marriage.
But to an adult man in his twenties, he is no longer a child.
Chen Duan could not have regarded her as a "wrong leg".
Gender + age + petite body type, it’s really no wonder that Chen Duan underestimated Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng:......
Even though we were far apart, I felt inexplicably being looked down upon.
She raised her legs and gently lifted the red gauze in front of her.
Without the obstruction of Mi Lang, the line of sight becomes extremely clear.
She still couldn't see the man's face clearly, but their eyes met in mid-air.
No giving in, no ducking.
The two lines of sight collided in mid-air, sparking fierce sparks.
Chen Duan raised his eyebrows, the little girl from the Gu family was so arrogant!
If you challenge others in public, you will not be trampled on by etiquette, but if you have a strong heart, you will not be afraid of the arrogance of the world.
... Without a formal meeting, Gu Qingcheng had a silent contest with Chen Duan.
It’s not about winning or losing, but it’s about the first impression we had on each other.
"Sanniang, the carriage has been inspected!"
Ah Man's face was sullen, and he looked unhappy from the inside out.
When Bu Nao came to Gu Qingcheng's side, she respectfully replied, "Let's get in the car."
Gu Qingcheng nodded, supported Aman's legs, and returned to the carriage.
"Let go!"
After the two soldiers checked, there was no further difficulty.
Following an order, the horse barrier on the side was opened, and the motorcade slowly entered the city.
"torch!"
Chen Duan watched the carriage disappear from his "east", without hesitation, turned around and walked towards the city wall.
He led a team of men and horses and rode past.
He returned to "Prince Liang's Mansion" faster than Gu Qingcheng, ahem, it was not the former Governor's Mansion.
The governor's office is a standard government office, with a front office and a backyard.
When Chen Duan came to Lingnan this time, he did not bring any female relatives with him, but only some servants.
Therefore, there is no deliberate distinction between the front yard and the outer yard.
He regarded the yamen in front as the main tent of the Chinese army, while the yamen in the back was used as a resting place for himself and his staff.
Gu Qingcheng's motorcade slowly arrived at the front office of the Governor's Mansion.
There were soldiers in armor standing at the yamen gate, not ordinary yamen servants.
"Like a military camp!"
Gu Qingcheng lifted the curtains of the car, glanced at it, and made an evaluation.
That King of Liang was worthy of his military background. Even if he occupied Guangcheng, he would still manage the army in the same way.
Well?
Gu Qingcheng seemed to have found an entry point.
The military and political affairs should actually be separated.
Military control and other things can only be used as a short-term transition, but they cannot last long.
"Aman! Go and ask!"
Gu Qingcheng had a plan in mind, but without showing any signs of it, she raised her voice and gave instructions.
"no!"
Ah Man agreed and quickly turned to Dongma.
She ran up to the soldiers guarding the gate and took out a famous card from her sleeve pocket, "Sanniang of the Gu family, I was invited to pay a visit to the Emperor of Liang Dynasty!"
Bing Zhidong consciously looked at the carriage behind Aman. It was not very luxurious, but there was a family mark hanging on the carriage compartment.
After all, people from Jiankang have seen the big world.
Soldiers know that real aristocratic families have family emblems.
You don’t have to know the specific family, but you must know: even if the carriage with the emblem hanging on it belongs to that family!
The soldiers are not afraid, but they must not break the rules and cause trouble for their prince!
"Wait a minute! He's going to ask!"
The soldier was very polite. Although he was illiterate, he took the name card and turned around and entered the Yamen.
Gu Qingcheng was waiting in the carriage.
Oh no, she didn't leave either.
After thinking for a while, he called two female soldiers, "Let's go to the city and see how the merchants are doing?"
If you want to see whether a city is stable, prosperous, and whether shops are operating normally, this is a very important indicator.
If even small businesses and hawkers cannot operate normally, then the city is not far away from chaos!
Gu Qingcheng has been an expert in government affairs and general affairs throughout her life, and she has experienced traveling through time more than ten times. She has too much "common sense".
"Hey! After leaving the novel world, he knows more and more 'common sense'!"
Gu Qingcheng controlled his consciousness to prevent the troubles in the sea of consciousness from noticing the fluctuations in his thoughts.
In fact, when the character value reached the passing line, Gu Qingcheng discovered the "sign"——
As her character increases, she wonders whether she will be able to "randomly" match the character she wants. The system seems to have loosened her "blocking" due to errors in her system.
On the surface, Gu Qingcheng looked like he didn't care much about his "character value".
It seems that every time she adds attribute values to her character, it robs her of her spontaneity.
In fact, this is not the case.
Is Gu Qingcheng trying it consciously?
For example, now, her character value has reached 65 points.
Such a value should be regarded as a level of kindness among ordinary people.
He is not a good person, but he is not a bad person either.
He will not deliberately do good deeds to accumulate virtue, but he will not reject kindness either.
Gu Qingcheng didn't know what kind of role Dong could be matched with, whether it was a former heroine, or a female supporting character who could counterattack.
However, they should not be cannon fodder or villains.
Many of the "memories" she gained in the mission world don't seem to be so tightly guarded by the system.
She can now think of more and more "common sense" or insights that emerge from her subconscious mind.
"What exactly is that system?"
"Why are there such 'restrictions'?"
"Should I fault him individually? Should I treat him equally?"
"Yongwanzhe, how many so-called executors are there? Are there really many? Isn't he one of them?"
Gu Qingcheng had too many questions and many speculations.
No, she didn't show it at all.
She wasn't even in a hurry to verify.
As she went deeper, she seemed to be aware of a "conspiracy."
If you want to solve it and get the truth, you need to have enough patience.
Having been involved in government affairs all his life, the most important thing Gu Qingcheng lacked was patience.
What she is best at is understanding people's hearts and using everything to achieve a better self!
"Sanniang, that man has been in there for a while, why doesn't he come out?"
Aman stood in front of the carriage window, looking anxiously at the yamen door, and whispered to Qingcheng, "That Liang Wang, did you do it on purpose?"
"He wants to give you a bad start?"
You really can’t blame Ah Man for thinking too much.
At the city gate, he was ordered to check the east carriage;
When I arrived at "Prince Liang's Mansion", I was stopped at the door and waited.
Once is not a rule, but twice is not necessarily a coincidence!
Even if Aman's name has "Man", she is not stupid.
And she has the keen intuition of a small animal, and she can always perceive the most direct good and evil.
“Not necessarily Dongmawei!”
Gu Qingcheng was not in a hurry, the old god was walking in the carriage.
Whether her carriage compartment could be modified, she exploited the limited space to the greatest extent.
Although the sparrow is small, it is fully equipped with all kinds of small compartments and storage.
That's a mini movable room.
From where you raise your legs, you can get what Gu Qingcheng needs: food, tea, Shuanglu, Go, books, pen and ink...
Not to mention just walking away for a short while, just staying in the carriage for a day and a night, Gu Qingcheng would be able to live comfortably.
"Perhaps he wants to 'observe' and measure the weight of his Gu daughter!"
And Gu Qingcheng was doing the same thing.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sun became hotter.
Aman was standing outside the car, with beads of sweat already forming on his forehead.
She also became more and more irritable.
The two female soldiers had quietly returned and brought back the news that Gu Qingcheng wanted.
After listening to the two people's reports, Gu Qingcheng had a better understanding of the current situation in Guangcheng.
As she expected, King Liang seemed to control Guangcheng, but there were many hidden dangers.
I looked at the moon and saw that it was almost noon.
Gu Qingcheng beckoned, and Cuo Aman said, "Go and urge me! If Prince Liang's palace is really busy, he will come back in the afternoon!"
Not to be angry, nor to threaten.
Does Gu Qingcheng simply want to find a place to eat, take a rest, and then continue the PK with Prince Liang?
"no!"
Ah Man was very angry from waiting.
He ran to the yamen gate in a few steps and conveyed Gu Qingcheng's message to the soldiers.
"Please wait a moment, little lady, so I can go and ask!"
When the soldiers saw that Ah Man was sweating profusely and holding on to his anger, they knew that they were really waiting in a hurry.
In fact, he felt a little embarrassed too.
On that day in Lingnan, it was quite hot even in the winter months.
The little girl is in Yuetoudong, and she is gone for an hour as soon as she leaves. It is indeed a bit inappropriate.
It would be fine if they didn't want to be an uninvited guest, but they didn't!
