Outside the bedroom, two palace maids were waiting quietly in front of the door.
Several palace maids who came from the imperial dining room came forward from His Highness. They stopped outside the palace and exchanged glances with the palace maids guarding the bedroom.
"Your Highness, haven't you...?"
They asked inquiringly, and the maid guarding the dormitory naturally shook her head.
"Oh...which empress is it?" someone asked in a low voice.
The maids outside the palace looked at each other and made a mouth gesture.
…
In the hall, Xiao Hongdou was already packing things in the hall and looked at Han Dongwen with some worry.
Even compared to before, His Highness woke up very late today.
She works as a maid, so she naturally knows that at this time, she has come to have lunch two or three times, and naturally she was reported to the Imperial Hospital by the imperial kitchen in the evening, so it was difficult to hide.
"Knock knock."
There was a soft knock on the door.
Xiao Hongdou was startled. The maid outside the door would never disturb the palace if she had not been ordered to do so. Who is so brave?
"Your Highness is still resting and has not yet risen in the morning."
Xiao Hongdou quickly walked to the door of the dormitory and lowered her voice.
The person outside the door was silent for a moment, then handed a piece of paper under the door.
"Presented to Your Highness."
The speaker was a man.
If it weren't for the minister of Taishu Pavilion who had an emergency, Xiao Hongdou wouldn't know if there were any other men besides the guards of the harem who could enter the harem.
Which Lord is this from Taishu Pavilion, or is this Lord from Xiube?
Xiao Hongdou bowed and picked up the paper. Through the palace door, she could feel the person outside turning around and leaving.
The paper was not sealed, and even folded in half it was a bit perfunctory. It looked like it was not something confidential. She flattened the paper gently and found that the content on it was also very simple.
Visiting West Asia with Chi Yagong.
Chiya Palace refers to Concubine Chi.
Visiting West Asia, literally?
Xiao Hongdou had heard about the different features of this neighboring country. She heard that the people there had golden, red or even white hair, light-colored eyes, and their speaking accents were strange.
She also heard that it was winter almost all year round, and there were only two months of summer each year when the snow melted and the sky was clear. In short, it was a place that was different from Simeng in every way.
Xiao Hongdou gently placed the paper on the table. When His Highness woke up, she wanted to hear more about West Asia.
——————
"Do your job well and others will come again."
Jack Guo and Han Dongwen inspected the corpses of these West Asians in the snow. He took off a lapis lazuli cross the size of a fingernail worn on the corpse and placed it on his body as a treasure.
Han Dongwen knew that this was a practice devoutly believed by believers in the Church of God. They believed that the immortal souls would return to God—as long as their souls stayed and this little cross could return to their homeland.
Will anyone come again?
Han Dongwen pretended to put away a small cross while chewing on Guo Jieke's words.
Why are they dressing up as soldiers from the National Defense Department?
As one of the forces of the National Law Department, Han Yingzong, how can Guo Jieke help them?
Does this mean that there is treason and traitorous behavior within the National Military Department, and can it be used as a handle for Tantai and his son, or are they victims?
He doesn't know yet.
Han Dongwen and Jack Guo buried the "unsung heroes" and embarked on the return journey to Han Yingzong together. Han Dongwen couldn't shirk it, so he had to bite the bullet and walked back with him. He never had the chance to wake up in the dormitory.
"Now that we have brothers in the construction team, I feel much more relaxed."
On the way back, Jack Guo suddenly said something carelessly, and Han Dongwen could only pretend to nod.
"How's it going? Do you understand what's going on now?" Jack Guo asked eagerly.
"Condition……"
Han Dongwen coughed twice: "The situation is a bit complicated. Right now..."
"What's so complicated! Is it a tower or a bunker? What is the significance of these site selections? What is the specific scale of the project?"
Jack Guo couldn't help but asked again and again like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Han Dongwen froze in place for a long time without saying a word: "This...according to what I know now, these buildings..."
The fact that Lord Wen wants to build Yihong Towers all over the country has a completely different meaning from the perspective of the Principality of West Asia.
From their perspective, this is a large-scale project that was suddenly decided and looks quite suspicious, so mastering the details of this project is definitely the first priority.
What Han Dongwen didn't expect was that there was something wrong with the intelligence network of this West Asian principality? According to common sense, such information should have been leaked to the Principality of West Asia during the communication chain of command. How could it be possible to use such a simple method and send spies at the grassroots level to grasp it?
He considered it for a moment: "These buildings don't seem to have any military considerations. They look like ordinary restaurants and residences..."
After hearing this, Jack Guo showed a strange expression:
"Restaurant? Even the most stupid person who doesn't know how to do business knows that if no one patronizes it, no matter how good the restaurant is, it won't last long. This Tianying City is not a big city, and this kind of building is built on the edge of the city..."
He held it back and said, "In Simeng's words, isn't this a waste of money?"
Han Dongwen scratched his head: "God knows what these Simeng people are thinking, but there is indeed nothing strange in the building construction project. From a pure design point of view, this is indeed the most ordinary restaurant."
Jack Guo pondered for a moment: "Gu, tell me...could this be that? Is it corruption?"
"corruption?"
"Yes!" Jack Guo nodded vigorously: "There must be some way to make money from the construction funds of this kind of project. Maybe this is a project deliberately done by an executive in Siyang in order to get benefits."
Han Dongwen naturally nodded in agreement, thinking that fortunately he had eliminated the possibility of corruption for the time being, otherwise he might have lost a lot of money.
"No matter what, all we can do...is wait."
Jack Guo patted Han Dongwen on the shoulder: "We must stand still until the next batch of compatriots arrive. Since you said this is a normal project, there is no need to worry. If there is anything I can help you with, please tell me. .”
After hearing this, Han Dongwen asked him: "Why? Shouldn't we only focus on our own tasks?"
This is the creed of the Seventh Knights. Although it is not an iron law, few people are willing to take the initiative to provide too much help to others' tasks.
"Because you are a kind man."
Jack Guo patted Han Dongwen heavily on the shoulder: "I saw that in order to save that compatriot from suffering, you had to personally send him on his way. Even with that beast, you deserve my admiration."
this……
Who is he talking about? Han Dongwen killed two people...
If Omus had sacrificed himself and used the Holy Ring, this would still be justified. After all, every inch of his skin would burn alive, which was really not a good outcome.
But the second person, the one who had the prayer mark carved on his body, was also killed by Han Dongwen with one blow. This...
Didn't you see it?
Han Dongwen bit his lower lip sadly: "May the Lord bless his soul."
"May the Lord bless his soul. Okay, what do you need my help with?"
Guo Jieke prayed softly. The two of them had already arrived in the sect's realm, so it was no longer possible to talk about dangerous content.
Han Dongwen thought for a while and stretched out two fingers:
"First, after joining the inner sect, I hope you can help me with some small favors, Jack."
This is not a problem, Jack Guo nodded.
"The second thing is, can you find a way for me to get in touch with people from the Justice Department?"
