Lord Hou, you have been flopped again

Chapter 59 She is the prince's person
Your Royal Highness?

This answer made Gong Zexuan frowned, a little surprised.

How did His Highness the Crown Prince know that there was a spy hidden in the northern army?Even if he knew, how could he arrange for a woman to report?

Knowing that Gong Zexuan was puzzled, before he could ask, Qin Yu continued to say without changing his expression, "General, did Old General Gong mention the matter of the Shadow Army to you before he passed away?"

Gong Zexuan was slightly taken aback.

The Shadow Army is an army dedicated to the Emperor.Said to be the army, they are not used to fight the enemy on the battlefield, but to set up eyes and ears all over the country to investigate whether there is any chaos or spying.

This was a secret army started by the first emperor. Apart from the emperor and the prince, only the most trusted ministers knew about it. It was for the purpose of consolidating the regime and eliminating dissidents.

Gong Zexuan only learned this secret from his father before his father passed away.

How did this woman know?

Although Gong Zexuan didn't answer, Qin Yu already got a positive answer from his eyes.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "To tell you the truth, I am a member of the Shadow Army, and now His Royal Highness is in charge."

"Knowing that there may be secret work hidden in the northern border army, and that you are in an important position, it will be disadvantageous to you general, so His Royal Highness asked me to keep a low profile and come to the northern border quickly to tell you the news in time."

"With the order of His Royal Highness, I will enter Mr. Chen's new barracks, and then find a chance to come here to report to the general, so as not to startle the snake."

Gong Zexuan frowned.

There is no flaw in this woman's words.Moreover, if it is not the prince's people, how can they be so clear about the shadow army.

However, Gong Zexuan was still skeptical about the fact that the crown prince actually let the woman join the shadow army.

After being silent for a while, Gong Zexuan asked: "Then the Xin people set up a trap, and His Royal Highness asked you to send a message?"

Qin Yu replied: "Yes. The shadow army and my identity need to be kept secret, so before I could only lie that I was a soldier under Chief Chen."

The matter is of great importance, Gong Zexuan must be cautious, and asked: "As a prince, can you bring a token or a letter?"

Qin Yu said: "I went out of Beijing this time to be careful not to be noticed, to be humble and not to bring any tokens. However,"

Qin Yu stepped forward, dipped his finger in water from the teapot beside him, and while gesturing on the table, said, "I can draw the totem of the Shadow Army to the general."

Soon, a circular totem appeared on the table, and slowly disappeared as the water stains dried up.

Seeing the totem clearly, even if Gong Zexuan still had doubts about Qin Yu's identity, he already believed that she was a member of the shadow army in charge of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Gong Zexuan finally nodded, and said: "You saved everyone that day, so you shouldn't have any ill intentions towards the northern border army. I believe you, when I meet His Royal Highness, I will check your identity carefully."

"Please rest assured, General," Qin Yu vowed, "What the humble official said is not false!"

She sighed secretly in her heart, and finally escaped a catastrophe.

Of course she is not from the Shadow Army.

As a concubine in the previous life, and later became an empress, Qin Yu certainly knew about the Shadow Army, and he expected that the old general Ding Gong would definitely tell Gong Zexuan about it before he passed away.

Qin Yu just took a gamble, and he won.

As for whether Gong Zexuan has discovered that she is a daughter, whether she wonders why there is a woman in the shadow army, as long as he doesn't ask, she doesn't bother to think about it.

There is also the matter of checking Di Yan's identity.The northern border is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it takes more than a month to go back and forth.

Gong Zexuan was guarding the frontier at this time, so naturally he would not return to Beijing.

Di Yan would not come to this barren northern border if she had nothing to do.

As the saying goes, the mountain is high and the prince is far away.At least for the time being, she is safe.
