Outside the bedroom, two palace maids were waiting quietly in front of the door.

Several palace maids who came from the imperial dining room walked up from His Highness, 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 lowered voice.

The maids outside the palace looked at each other and made a mouth shape.

…

In the hall, Xiao Hongdou was already packing things in the hall and looked at Han Dongwen with some worry.

Even compared to before, Your 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 was in an emergency, Xiao Hongdou wouldn't know if there were any other men besides the guards of the Ministry of Health who could enter the harem.

Which Lord from Taishu Pavilion is this, 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 didn't look like anything confidential. She gently flattened the paper 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, does that mean 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 also strange.

She also heard that it is winter almost all year round, and there are only two months of summer when the snow melts and the sky is clear. In short, it is a place that is 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 respective tasks well, and someone will come again."

Jack Guo and Han Dongwen were inspecting the corpses of these West Asians in the snow. He took off a lapis lazuli cross the size of a fingernail that was 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 Jie Ke'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 Guo Jieke buried the "unsung heroes" and embarked on the return journey to Han Yingzong together. Han Dongwen could not 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 meaningless, and Han Dongwen could only pretend to nod.

"How are you doing? Do you understand the situation now?" Guo Jie Ke asked anxiously.

"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 decided suddenly and looks quite suspicious, so knowing 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 the West Asian Principality? According to common sense, such information should have been leaked to the West Asian Principality during the dissemination chain of command. How could such a simple method be used?

What about dispatching spies at the grassroots level to control it?

He thought 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 some 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. Still, when there is that wolf, you deserve my admiration."

this……

Han Dongwen bit his lower lip sadly: "May the Lord bless his soul."

"May the Lord God bless his soul. Okay, what do you need my help with?"

Guo Jieke prayed softly. The two of them had already arrived at the sect's realm, and 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.
