Regarding matters of the military camp, Duke An was not very clear, perhaps it was a leader from the Xuanyuan Jun.
After all, there were many leaders under Xuanyuan Li’s command, and Duke An, being a junior, actually didn’t know most of them.
Gu Jiao put the portrait back.
Mr. ng did not move into the Duke Residence with them because sothing had happened at the Chess House, and he had to go back to handle it.
As for his personal safety, Gu Jiao wasn’t worried, so she let him go.
Duke An escorted Gu Jiao to the entrance.
The gate of the Duke Residence opened for her, Manager Zheng stood on the open ground with a smile, and behind him was an incredibly luxurious carriage.
The canopy was made of premium yellow pear wood, the top inlaid with East Sea pearls, and the hanging curtains had two layers, the inner layer being bamboo and the outer layer being beaded with jade fragnts.
Although they were called jade fragnts, each piece was actually ticulously carved jade, agate, and mutton-fat jade.
The carriage was drawn by two tall, strong white horses. Gu Jiao blinked: "Um, this is..."
Manager Zheng walked forward with a broad smile and respectfully saluted the two: "Duke, Young Master!"
Then he said to Gu Jiao, "This is the carriage I prepared for the Young Master, I wonder if the Young Master is satisfied?"
The Duke was certainly very satisfied.
Only such a luxurious carriage could match her.
Gu Jiao thought to herself, isn’t this too much? Going out in such a carriage, won’t it get robbed?
Forget it, it seems no one can rob anyway.
"Thank you, Godfather!" Gu Jiao thanked Duke An and was about to get on the carriage.
"Young Master, please wait!" Manager Zheng called out to Gu Jiao with a smile, taking out a brand new silver note from his wide sleeve, "This is your spending money for today!"
Pocket money?
One... one hundred taels?
This much?
Gu Jiao cleared her throat lightly and asked Manager Zheng in a low voice, "Are you sure this is for one day, not one month?"
Manager Zheng smiled and said, "It’s for one day! The Duke told the Young Master to spend it first, if it’s not enough, there will be more!"
This is lavish without humanity.
Gu Jiao suddenly had an illusion, it felt like her classmates’ wealthy parents in her previous life, sending their kids out with not only luxury cars but also a huge sum of pocket money, only missing the line "Don’t co back until you’ve spent it all."
So, this is what it’s like to be a second-generation rich kid?
It’s... quite nice.
Gu Jiao seriously accepted the silver note.
Duke An smiled when he saw her accept it.
Gu Jiao bid farewell to Duke An and left in the carriage.
Manager Zheng ca up behind Duke An, pushing his wheelchair, and said with a cheerful smile, "Duke, shall I push you back to the courtyard to rest?"
Duke An wrote on the armrest, "To the accountancy room."
Manager Zheng asked, "It’s quite late, what are you going to do in the accountancy room?"
Duke An wrote, "To make money."
A lot of small money, for her to spend.

Gu Jiao went to the National Master Hall, her aunt and uncle were taken out for a walk by Xiao Jingkong, Xiao Hen was in Shangguan Yun’s room, and Zhang Dequan was also there, seemingly saying sothing to Xiao Hen.
Gu Jiao didn’t go in, she went straight to the secret room at the end of the corridor.
The first aid kit was always there, and the operating room was ready at any ti.
Gu Jiao had rushed back to change Gu Changqing’s dication, but when she entered the intensive care unit, she found that the National Master was also there, and the dication had already been changed.
"Has he woken up?" Gu Jiao asked.
"No," the National Master said, "Have you finished your business over there?"
Gu Jiao nodded, "Yes, it’s all taken care of."
The forr was an answer, the latter was voluntarily explained. It seed normal, but coming from Gu Jiao, it showed that her trust in the National Master had reached a new level.
Gu Jiao stood in front of the bed, looking at the unconscious Gu Changqing, and said, "However, I have a doubt in my heart."
The National Master said, "Speak."
Gu Jiao pondered, "I just thought of it on my way back to the National Master Hall. According to the intelligence brought back by the Imperial Eldest Grandson, Consort Han thought Consort Wang frad her. The Han family should retaliate against the Wang family, why would they co after my family? If it was to bring down the Crown Prince, so many days have passed, the Han family’s reaction is too slow."
The National Master did not show any surprise at her doubt, it was evident he had sensed sothing too.
He did not give his opinion directly, but asked Gu Jiao, "What do you think?"
Gu Jiao said, "I think, perhaps one of Consort Wang’s five people is a mole, who told Consort Han about Shangguan Yun’s false injury framing Consort Han and her son, and Consort Han inford the Han family."
"Or—" The National Master looked at Gu Jiao aningfully.
Gu Jiao received his gaze and frowned slightly, "Or, there is no mole, it was the Han family taking the initiative, not for Consort Han’s issue, but for—"
At this point, a light bulb went off in her head, "My appointnt as Hei Fengqi Commander! The Han family wanted to use my family to threaten to give up the commander’s position!"
"Not too stupid." The National Master said coldly, turned to the dicine cabinet and took out a bottle of anti-inflammatory drugs, "You going to Hei Feng Camp won’t be too smooth, you’d better be ntally prepared."
"I know." Gu Jiao said.
"Go on with your business then." The National Master said indifferently, "Don’t you have other matters to handle?"
Suddenly beco so aloof, becoming more and more like a godfather.
Is he really the godfather?
If he is, I can bully him back.
In the past life, the godfather had too high martial prowess, and she was always the one getting beaten up.
"Why are you looking at like that?" The National Master noticed the malicious look in Gu Jiao’s eyes.
"Nothing." Gu Jiao calmly withdrew her gaze.
He’s not skilled in martial arts, looks very easy to bully.
Don’t let find out you’re the godfather.
Otherwise, before recognizing you, I must beat you up first to settle the scores from the past life.
"Xiao Liulang."
The National Master suddenly called out to Gu Jiao, who had already reached the door.
Gu Jiao turned back: "What’s the matter?"
The National Master said: "If, and I an if, Gu Changqing wakes up and becos a cripple—"
Without hesitation, Gu Jiao said: "I will take care of him."
Gu Jiao still had to send her great-aunt and great-uncle to the Duke Residence, so she handed this place over to the National Master temporarily.
However, just as she walked out of the secret room, the National Master stepped to the sickbed.
Gu Changqing’s eyelids quivered slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
A simple act of opening his eyes almost drained all of his energy.
The entire intensive care unit was filled with his heavy breathing through the oxygen mask.
The National Master looked calmly at Gu Changqing: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Gu Changqing used the remainder of his strength to nod his head.

Miao Ruoxin saw Gu Jiao outside the Duke Residence, and the bitterness in her heart reached its peak.
She was firmly convinced that it was that Zhan Country person who had instigated the discord between her and the Duke of An, the truly capable ones are too proud to use manipulative words.
But that Zhan Country person kept flatteringly approaching the Chess Master of the Six Countries and the Duke of An, proving he was just a sycophantic minion!
Miao Ruoxin just hated herself for being too lofty and disregarding those manipulative tactics, otherwise, how could a Zhan Country person have found a loophole!
The more Miao Ruoxin thought, the angrier she beca.
Since you had your way at the start, don’t bla for retaliating!
Miao Ruoxin found an inn to stay in, and said to the guards from the Duke Residence who escorted her: "You can go back, I don’t need you with ! I will return to Chen Country myself!"
The leading guard said: "But, the Duke ordered us to escort Miss Miao safely back to Chen Country."
Miao Ruoxin raised her chin and said: "No need, go back and tell your Duke I appreciate his kindness, if I have the opportunity to visit Yan Country again, I will definitely visit."
The guards tried to persuade a few more tis, seeing Miao Ruoxin determined, they decided not to continue entangling.
The leading guard asked Miao Ruoxin to write a letter expressing that she truly wanted to return to her country alone, then led away the other brothers.
As soon as the guards from the Duke of An’s residence left, Miao Ruoxin called her maid to hire a carriage, then left the inn alone in the carriage.

The Han Family recently faced a turbulent period, first the repeated incidents involving the family mbers, then the loss of Hei Fengqi, and now even the concubine and the heir had been assassinated, losing the Consort and the heir positions.
The Han Family suffered heavily, they cannot afford any more losses.
"How could it fail?"
In the main hall, the Han elder who seed to have aged ten years, placed his hands on the handle of his cane and said.
Han Lei and Han Third Master stood on either side, Han Fifth Master was recuperating in the courtyard and did not co.
The current atmosphere was so tense that even the carefree Han Third Master did not dare to show any disrespect.
The Han elder continued: "And why did all the highly skilled fighters die, while the bodyguards were fine?"
It was not that they were fine, they just had one life left.
The fighters were confronted by Gu Jiao, naturally, none of them survived.
Those who went to the courtyard to snatch people were only injured and knocked out by Mrs. Nan and her people.
Han Lei said: "The corpses of those fighters were brought back, the coroner said they were killed by a spear."
The Han elder squinted his eyes: "Spear? Xiao Liulang?"
Xiao Liulang’s weapon is the Red-Tasseled Spear.
And the only one who could kill so many Han Family fighters at once, apart from him, the Han elder couldn’t think of anyone else.
Han Lei said: "He’s not the real Xiao Liulang, just an imposter taking Xiao Liulang’s identity, a Zhan Country person."
The Han elder said coldly: "No matter who he is, this kid is bound to be our Han Family’s mortal enemy!"
During the conversation, Han Family’s manager hurriedly walked over, standing outside the door and reported: "Elder! Soone outside seeks a eting!"
The Han elder didn’t even ask who it was, and said sternly: "Didn’t you tell them I don’t see visitors?"
Now, amidst the turbulence, the Han Family can’t casually associate with people.
The manager said awkwardly: "That lady said she is the divine doctor from Chen Country, and can heal... the heir’s injuries."
