MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 437 Enter the camp

Chapter 437 Entering the camp

“We were negligent, thinking that the person was a fake and what his purpose was, but we forgot that when a mantis stalks a cicada, the oriole follows behind!”

Hearing Uncle Su's words, Du Jingyi actually didn't take it to heart, but then said with a smile.

"Uncle and uncle don't have to do this. Your reaction just makes the other party more certain. Only those who have been thieves for thousands of years, and those who have been guarding against thieves for thousands of years, besides, it is unlikely that Yan Zhiqing's identity will be hidden for a lifetime, so he revealed it. It’s just revealed, it’s nothing aboveboard, I don’t care about this kind of thing.”

The Du Jingyi family concealed Yan Zhiqing's identity initially for their own safety and to prevent the blood-sucking relatives of the Du family from thinking about it.

Now, she and Gu Shaoyu have become a close couple, which means that the Du family can no longer protect themselves wisely. Gu Shaoyu sides with the prince, which means that the Du family must also serve the prince.

So I thought that even if she wanted to hide it, she might not be able to hide it.

Apart from anything else, even those who were against the Gu family at any time and at any time could still find some clues even if they were carefully checked, so after thinking of this, she no longer worried about when their identities would be discovered.

Since he would be discovered sooner or later, he simply didn’t want to hide it, and then reminded him.

"Now that the other party has come to investigate, we can't hide it even if we want to. The top priority is that what I'm worried about now is not that my identity will be revealed, but whether it will be implicated in the things that the general is investigating. If it is true, They are related, I’m afraid we have more than one enemy.”

　Du Jingyi’s words hit the point.

Although the Su family father and son didn't know exactly what Gu Shaoyu was investigating, they also heard a little bit about some things on the river, but Gu Shaoyu didn't say anything, and it was hard for them to interrupt.

As for Gu Shaoyu, his face is also gloomy, but because of the habits he has developed over the years, he will not get angry casually in front of his family.

“Uncle, is the Su family’s loss serious?”

"This year's profit will be 50%, but it's okay. There's always money to be made, and if you lose it, you'll lose it. It doesn't matter."

It can be said that the Su family has more money than they can use for more than ten generations, so for their father and son, they really don't take this money seriously, but if they can't express this, the Su family's face will also be ruined. He was lost, so he must be caught. Uncle Su even thought about how to deal with that person in order to regain his face!

He is the first person in history to dare to act so aggressively against the Su family!

 Gu Shaoyu nodded when he heard this, and then said.

“That’s good, uncle, don’t worry, Shao Yu will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. I know who he is.”

"who?"

“I will tell my uncle when the opportunity comes, but now is not the time.”

Due to the special status of Gu Shaoyu, the Su family and his son guessed that this matter must be related to the dispute in the court. Their eldest son of the Su family had never been exposed to this matter, so they did not ask any more questions.

 After saying goodbye to the Su family and his son, Gu Shaoyu took Du Jingyi and left the Su family.

 When he left, he did not look back at home. Instead, he ran towards the Huben Army camp near Qingshui Town outside Jinling City. Seeing the changes in the scenery outside, Du Jingyi was worried in his heart.

"General, I am not allowed to enter the camp. I'm afraid that going there will cause some gossip to the general."

"What are you afraid of? It's just a few gossips, will I take it to heart? Besides, I know who is the person who can spread these words. Once the news from His Majesty arrives, these people will have no place to move. Hearing this, Du Jingyi said no more. About an hour later, he followed Gu Shaoyu into the Huben Army's camp.

This was Du Jingyi’s first time entering the camp, and it was slightly different from what she had imagined.

She thought that such a brave and capable Tiger Army should be in serious training at all times, but who knew that as soon as they entered the camp, they heard all kinds of thunderous laughter and slapstick.

Du Jingyi is not familiar with it, but Gu Shaoyu understands it.

 It must be that their people and the naval camp started to "fight" again, so it was so lively, and then they explained to Du Jingyi.

"They have been competing with the people in the naval camp for several months, so everyone refuses to admit defeat. If they lose here, they have to make up for it there. Therefore, the voices you hear now are just watching the excitement. It’s a big deal.”

“General, don’t you care?”

"Why bother? They are all strong-blooded people, and it will be good for them to fight more. Besides, there are people in the army who can control the situation, so they will not be jealous."

Du Jingyi nodded clearly, and then followed Gu Shaoyu into the Chinese army's tent without saying anything more.

As for the cherries and Li Zhu, they were naturally left outside the tent.

Cherry was okay and stood calmly at the door waiting for Madam, but Li Zhu had been training with the Fourth Madam for so long, and had heard her tell many interesting things about her time in the Gu Family Army, so she had longed for life in the military camp.

However, she knew that her chances of going to the battlefield in this life were almost slim, so she wished she could take this opportunity to have twelve pairs of eyes and stare at the military camp thoroughly.

In the big tent, Du Jingyi saw the neat tables and beds as soon as he came in. They were simple and clear, but showed cleanliness. There were also two pictures hanging inside, one was the survey map of Daxing, and the other was From Jinling City.

Du Jingyi stepped forward to take a closer look at these two pictures. They were quite different from those recorded by her father who traveled all over the country.

Hanging in the big tent are more records of the garrisons in various places, their strength, what they are good at, and the various dangerous mountains and rivers, rivers and inlets. What my father recorded is the folk customs, special products, etc. , at first glance, there is a difference between military strategists and merchants.

Gu Shaoyu didn't know what his wife was thinking at the moment. Seeing her looking at the map in a trance, he thought she was interested, so he explained.

“There are two pictures like this in the study room of the General’s Mansion. If you are interested, you can go and look in the study room when you return to Sui’an City.”

 The ones in the study are simpler than this, so Gu Shaoyu doesn't leak military information.

Unexpectedly, Du Jingyi smiled and refused.

"General, let me go. If you ask me to read the account book, I won't bother you for three days and three nights. If you ask me to read this, I'm afraid there will be a fight in half a quarter of an hour, so let's forget it."

Seeing her evasion, Gu Shaoyu didn't force it anymore. Instead, he took out a map from a secret box under the desk and handed it to Du Jingyi.
