The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1770

Chapter 1770: 866 Xuanyuan’s Wrath! (2nd update)

Gu Jiao was wearing Jin military armor, so the opponent should have just been asking normally.

Gu Jiao lightly patted Black Wind King’s horse back. Black Wind King retracted its regal aura, drooping its head, looking as if it was about to be exhausted.

In terms of acting skills, truly no one can match Gu Jiao’s audacity.

Except... Xuanyuan Qi.

The cavalryman sped up and galloped towards Gu Jiao, stopping approximately six feet away from her. He looked Gu Jiao up and down and asked, "Which camp are you from? Whose subordinate are you?"

It just so happened that these phrases were in the Jin Country language Gu Jiao had recently learned.

Without changing her expression, Gu Jiao answered his second question, "I’m under General Liu’s command."

As for which camp, she wasn’t sure, and she dreaded him asking which General Liu.

The cavalryman looked at Gu Jiao suspiciously, "Are you under General Liu Wei? I’ve never seen you before."

Gu Jiao replied, "I was just transferred from under General Min Hongyi; General Min was assassinated."

The emphasis was on the latter statement.

Sure enough, after hearing this news, the opponent immediately changed his expression, "What? General Min was assassinated?"

Min Hongyi was assassinated the night before last, it seems the news hasn’t reached the new city yet.

Gu Jiao: "Yes."

The cavalryman asked, "How was he assassinated?"

Gu Jiao replied coldly, "It’s not convenient to say more." Mainly because the Jin Country language she learned on the fly was insufficient and might expose her.

This was a seasoned cavalryman, evidently not so easily fooled. He frowned and looked at Gu Jiao again, "Then what are you doing here? Chasing down the killer?"

If I say I’m chasing the killer, wouldn’t your ten thousand men have to join in the chase?

How would I get back to Quyang City?

Gu Jiao replied succinctly, "Secret order, it’s inconvenient to say more."

Once something is tied to secrecy, it gains a kind of sacred, inviolable aura.

And with Gu Jiao’s face showing confidence and not even a hint of guilt, the cavalryman believed her.

He was about to say, "Then go," when another cavalryman came over.

Judging by the red tassel on the armor, it was a small leader.

"What happened?" he asked.

The cavalryman respectfully clasped hands towards him and said, "Reporting to Deputy Zhang, he is under General Min’s command. General Min was killed, and he’s been transferred under General Liu and is now going out of the city to execute a secret order."

Deputy Zhang’s eyes turned cold, "Secret orders are executed by at least two people together!"
