What a sharp little girl!
Chen Duan stood with his back on his body and looked at the slender figure intently.
The Mi Lang, which covered her almost from head to toe, covered her so tightly that he couldn't see her face, let alone her eyes.
However, he just seemed 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 fiction.
The rise of the Gu family in Lingnan must have something to do with this little girl.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at the figure standing high on the city wall. It was a bit far away, and since he was looking up, he couldn't see the person's face clearly.
However, just being 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 upper body exposed, instead of only half of his head or the top of his head like many southern soldiers. It can be inferred that he is more than eight feet tall.
Converted to centimeters, it is estimated to be 190.
So tall, in later generations with overnutrition and improved physical fitness, he would be considered a tall man. In ancient times, he was simply a giant!
Gu Qingcheng secretly nodded, not to mention his strength, just with his height, he looked like a tough general.
"Eh? Is this little girl from the Gu family looking at me?"
"Do you think that by hiding behind Mingling, you can be unscrupulous?"
"Or 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 a grown man in his twenties, he is still a child.
Chen Duan instinctively could not regard her as an "opponent".
Gender + age + petite body shape, you really can't blame Chen Duan for underestimating Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng:......
Although they were far apart, I felt inexplicably being despised.
She raised her hand and gently lifted the white gauze in front of her.
Without the obstruction of Mi Lang, the line of sight became extremely clear.
She still couldn't see the man's face clearly, but their eyes still met in mid-air.
No giving in, no ducking.
The two lines of sight collided in mid-air, causing fierce sparks.
Chen Duan raised his eyebrows. The little girl from the Gu family is really arrogant!
To challenge someone in public is not a violation of etiquette, but a strong heart and arrogance without fear of the world.
... Before they formally met, Gu Qingcheng had a silent contest with Chen Duan.
We can't talk about winning or losing, but we have a first impression of each other.
"Sanniang, the carriage has been inspected!"
Aman's face was sullen, and he looked unhappy from the inside out.
However, when he came to Gu Qingcheng's side, he still responded respectfully, "Let's get in the car."
Gu Qingcheng nodded, held Aman's hand, and returned to the carriage.
"Let go!"
After the two soldiers checked, there was no further difficulty.
Following an order, the horse-rejecting fence on the side was opened, and the convoy slowly entered the city.
"Walk!"
Chen Duan watched the carriage disappear from his "feet" without hesitation, turned around and got off the city wall.
He led a group of people and rode past.
He returned to "Prince Liang's Mansion" faster than Gu Qingcheng, which was, ahem, 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, only some servants.
Therefore, there is no deliberate distinction between the front yard and the inner yard.
He regarded the yamen in the front as the main tent of the Chinese army, and the back was a place for him and his staff to rest.
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 instead of ordinary yamen servants.
"Like a military camp!"
Gu Qingcheng lifted the curtains of the car, glanced at it, and made an evaluation.
This Liang Wang was worthy of his military background. Even if he occupied Guangcheng, he still used the same method of managing the army.
Well?
Gu Qingcheng seemed to have found an entry point.
The military and political affairs should actually be separated.
Military control and the like can only be used as a short-term transition and cannot last long.
"Aman! Go and ask!"
Gu Qingcheng had a plan in her mind, but her face didn't show anything as she raised her voice and gave instructions.
"yes!"
Ah Man agreed and quickly dismounted from his horse.
She ran up to the guard guarding the gate and took out a name card from her sleeve pocket, "Sanniang of the Gu family, I have been invited to pay a visit to His Highness Prince Liang!"
The soldiers subconsciously looked at the carriage behind Aman. It was not very luxurious, but there was a family mark hanging on the carriage.
After all, he is from Jiankang and has seen the world.
Soldiers know that real aristocratic families have family emblems.
You don’t have to know the specific family, but you must know: as long as the carriage with the emblem is hung, it belongs to a noble family!
The soldiers are not afraid, but they cannot break the rules and cause trouble for their prince!
"Wait a minute! I'll go ask!"
The soldiers were quite polite. Although they were illiterate, they still took the name card and turned around and entered the Yamen.
Gu Qingcheng was sitting in the carriage waiting.
However, she did not sit still.
After thinking for a while, he called the two female soldiers, "You guys go to the city and see how the merchants are doing?"
If you want to see whether a city is stable and prosperous, and whether shops are operating normally, this is a very important indicator.
If even small businesses and hawkers cannot operate normally, then this city is not far away from chaos!
Gu Qingcheng was a big boss who was good at government affairs and general affairs in her previous life. She also had more than ten time travel experiences. She had too much "common sense".
"Hey! After leaving this world, I have learned 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 this "sign"——
With the improvement of her character value, she was not only able to "randomly" match with relatively important characters, but the system's "blockade" on her seemed to be loose.
On the surface, Gu Qingcheng still looked like he didn't care much about "character value".
It seemed that every time she added attribute values to her character, it was just her doing it randomly.
In fact, not so.
Gu Qingcheng was consciously trying.
For example, now, her character value has reached 65 points.
Such a value should be regarded as a level of kindness among ordinary people.
Not a good guy, but not a bad guy either.
He will not deliberately do good deeds to accumulate virtue, but he will not reject kindness either.
Gu Qingcheng didn't know what important role he could be matched with next time. Maybe it was a former heroine, or maybe a female supporting character who could counterattack.
However, they should not be cannon fodder or villains.
And 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.
"What exactly is this system?"
"Why are there such 'restrictions'?"
"Are you treating me alone? Or are you treating everyone equally?"
"Or, how many so-called executors are there? Are there really many? Or is it just me?"
Gu Qingcheng had too many questions and many speculations.
However, she didn't show it at all.
She wasn't even in a hurry to verify.
As she continued to go deeper, she seemed to be aware of a "conspiracy."
If you want to crack it and get the truth, you must have enough patience.
After 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 version of herself!
"Sanniang, that man has been in there for a while, why hasn't he come out yet?"
Aman stood in front of the carriage window, looking anxiously at the yamen door, and whispered to Gu Qingcheng, "Did Prince Liang do this on purpose?"
"He wants to give you a blow?"
I really can’t blame Ah Man for thinking too much.
At the city gate, he was ordered to get out of the car for inspection;
When I arrived at "Prince Liang's Mansion", I was stopped at the door and waited.
Once is a rule, twice is not necessarily a coincidence!
Ah Man just has "Man" in her name, but she is not stupid.
And she has a keen intuition like a small animal, and can always perceive the most direct good and evil.
“It doesn’t have to be a show of force!”
Gu Qingcheng was not in a hurry, the old god was sitting in the carriage.
Her carriage carriage was modified, and 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.
This is a mini movable room.
Just by raising your hand, you can get what Gu Qingcheng needs: food, tea, Shuanglu, Go, books, pen and ink...
Not to mention just sitting there for a short while, even if he stayed in the carriage for a whole day and a night, Gu Qingcheng could live comfortably.
"Perhaps he wants to 'observe' and weigh me, the daughter of the Gu family!"
And Gu Qingcheng was doing the same thing.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sun became hot.
Aman, who was standing outside the car, had beads of sweat 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 expected, King Liang seemed to control Guangcheng, but there were many hidden dangers.
I looked at the sun and saw that it was almost noon.
Gu Qingcheng waved and said to Aman, "Go and urge him! If His Highness Prince Liang is really busy, I will come back in the afternoon!"
It's not out of anger or a threat.
Gu Qingcheng simply wanted to find a place to eat, take a rest, and then continue the PK with King Liang!
"yes!"
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 Ah Man sweating profusely and suppressing his anger, they knew that they were really waiting in a hurry.
In fact, he felt a little embarrassed too.
This day in Lingnan is quite hot even in winter.
It is indeed inappropriate for a little girl to sit there for an hour under the sun.
It would be fine if they were uninvited guests, but not!
