Ministers made me a male queen

In Jiao Yun's heart, because of Nie Baichang's sudden opening, he wanted to leave early, and he would usually be separated for a while except for his business trips.

This is the first time we have separated because of other things.

But since Nie Bochang said so, even if it is a very important matter, otherwise Nie Bochang would not be willing to part with him because of his little thoughts of secretly delighting him.

Thinking about it this way, Jiao Yun felt inexplicably much better.

Probably because the parting was imminent, all Jiao Yun's thoughts were on Nie Baichang's departure ahead of time, and the parting would probably take more than half a month.

Linzhou Mansion is not far from here, half a month's journey is right, but he has to set off to Qingzhou Mansion first, and then rush there, at least it will take nearly [-] days.

Because it was almost dawn when Nie Baichang said it, Jiao Yun could only immediately arrange for someone to pack some other bags, but Nie Baichang didn't want anyone to follow him, he was worried, so he let a familiar servant in the mansion follow him.

Nie Baichang didn't dare to show his flaws at this juncture, so he could only keep the man and wait two days before finding an excuse to send him back.

After Nie Baichang agreed, Jiao Yun's inexplicable anxiety was soothed after hearing Nie Baichang's opening, he babbled around and finally took out a stack of bank notes from his arms and handed it to him.

The amount is not large, but it adds up to a lot, which is several thousand taels.

Nie Baichang was taken aback, "What is this for?"

"I'll take it for you! There's still more than a month before Chunwei, and it's a long way to go from here to the capital. If I can't make it, you can go to the capital first." Jiao Yun is used to planning for the worst. Consider, in case he is delayed on the way to Qingzhou Mansion, Nie Baichang can't just go to the capital in such a bitter way.

After all, they are brothers who grew up together since childhood, so he couldn't bear Nie Xiaobai to suffer.

The last thing he lacked was money.

There is now a box of luminous pearls piled up in his space, not to mention priceless, and there are 15 taels of gold.

What got rid of for Miao Chongjun was the silver he had accumulated before, so he still has at least 15 taels of gold in his space.

Nie Baichang's face changed slightly, he knew his situation, and this time he was going would be pretending to die, he couldn't take the money that Jiao Yun had saved all these years, "I don't want it."

Jiao Yun was annoyed, and patted him in his arms: "If you don't treat me as a brother, just say it! If you give you money, you can take it! I don't lack these!" Although he said these things fiercely, but in order to reassure Nie Baichang , he still took out another stack and shook it in front of him, "Don't worry now? I still have more. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

Nie Baichang felt sore, he understood Jiao Yun's temperament, if he didn't take it, the other party might not let it go, when the time comes...

He gritted his teeth, bit the bullet and took it down.

Only then was Jiao Yun satisfied, he didn't tell Wanniang, fearing that Nie Baichang would delay his work, so he took his servant to send him to the gate of the city just after dawn.

When the city gate opened, they were sent all the way outside the city until Nie Baichang said that they would see each other again in a while, then Jiao Yun stood beside the steed, with his fingers wrapped around the reins, his lips pursed in a bad mood, and he even brought some irritable.

Nie Baichang, that bastard, he doesn't talk about it sooner or later, he only talks about it when it's the end, so he doesn't even have a plan.

But in the end, he was not willing to embarrass Nie Baichang, so he could only wave his hands and watch Nie Baichang lead the horse with his servant and walk away.

Nie Bochang's hand holding the rein of the horse was also tightly clenched. He waited until it was time for him to leave, but he still couldn't help turning his head to take another look, wanting to see everything about the other party. He was afraid that if he didn't look at him at this time , There will be no chance in the future.

He didn't get on his horse until looking at it any further, he got on his horse, took a last look at Jiao Yun, didn't dare to speak, reined in the horse, and galloped away.

The servant behind him also got on his horse and followed closely behind.

Jiao Yun looked at the people who were drifting away, and stood there for a long time without moving. The sunrise light gradually brightened and dyed his body with a white glow. He kicked the soil under his feet irritably, holding hands The horse snorted and kicked its hooves.

Jiao Yun originally lowered his head, but because of the sound and the singing of birds in the bamboo forest in the distance, he finally looked at the end of the official road, then got on his horse and returned to the city.

When Jiao Yun returned to the mansion, Wanniang had just arrived, and she heard that Nie Baichang left early, she was surprised, "Why didn't Brother Bai go with you?"

Jiao Yun was also upset because of this, "He has something to do, I have to go to Qingzhou Mansion first, and then meet at Linzhou Mansion."

"That's it." Wanniang thought about it, she didn't know much about the mansion, only Mr. Hou knew about the Qingzhou mansion, so it should be a serious matter, "But this is too sudden, I have prepared your salute for you , will you go directly from Qingzhou Mansion or come back first?"

Jiao Yun thought about it: "Go directly." It will take a day or two to delay returning, so it's better to go directly.

Wanniang saw that he was depressed, and smiled: "This is the first time that your child has been left behind by Brother Pagoda. In the past, you were the one who went out of town, and Brother Pagoda waited for you in the mansion every day, but this time it is the opposite. gone."

Jiao Yun shrugged helplessly: "Business matters, there is no other way."

Wanniang patted his arm: "Okay, don't frown, let's have dinner together tonight, and my mother will see you off tomorrow."

Jiao Yun had lunch at the mansion, and prepared his luggage. He only had a few clothes. He planned to pack lightly, and buy the rest on the road. He just waited for Wanniang and Master Tao to have dinner. Because we have to leave the next day, we rested early.

But lying on the bed couldn't fall asleep, tossed and turned, and then fell asleep in a daze.

Just half asleep, suddenly woke up.

Because Nie Baichang left suddenly, all Jiao Yun's attention was on Nie Baichang's departure. For a while, he believed what Nie Baichang said, but every time Nie Baichang went to Qingzhou Mansion, he was with him, and he was also with Master Hou. How could he Didn't I hear Nie Baichang ask Mr. Hou to find something?

Could it be that Nie Baichang went to see Mr. Hou alone when he didn't know?

But since he was specifically avoiding him to meet Mr. Hou, that was what he was looking for, and he couldn't let him know.

Since he kept it a secret for so long, why did he let him know at this juncture?

What can Master Hou know that he can't?

Now that the night is quiet, Jiao Yun's mind, which has been chaotic for a day, has finally cleared up a lot. He always feels that this matter is a bit strange. Since he was not allowed to know at the beginning, but now he is allowed to know again, but since he knew it, he did not tell him. What is it?

Or...is this just an excuse?

Jiao Yun frowned tightly, and just sat there in the middle of the night. When it was about to dawn, he finally decided on something. When Wanniang and Master Tao came to see him off early in the morning, he simply asked Master Tao to find him A reliable person went to Qingzhou Mansion, and after getting the things Master Hou asked for, he sent it to Linzhou Mansion overnight.

Although Master Tao was surprised that Jiao Yun changed his mind not to go to Qingzhou Mansion just overnight, he didn't think much about it: "Okay, I'll let Liu Xiong go. He is always cautious and has the best relationship with you."

Jiao Yun complied, he had an inexplicable intuition that Nie Xiaobai must have been hiding something from him.

Jiao Yun waited for the city gate to open at dawn, bid farewell to Wanniang and Master Tao who came to see him off, and galloped away on horseback.

He wanted to catch up with Nie Baichang, but now he was delayed for a day and a night, so he could only hurry on his way.

As a result, after two or three days of catching up like this, I couldn't catch up.

Not only that, but on the evening of the fourth day of his journey and the evening of the fifth day of Nie Baichang's departure, when he was working at an inn in a small town and planned to continue his journey at night, he ran into the servant who had been sent to follow Nie Baichang.

"Young Master?!" The servant was very surprised, "Why did you catch up so early?" Listening to Mr. Bai, didn't it mean that it would take a long time?

The boy was pleasantly surprised when he saw Jiao Yun, but Jiao Yun was frightened.

Even the premonition in my heart is about to come true.

The boy was startled by Jiao Yun's expression: "Master, son?"

Jiao Yun forced a smile, "Didn't I ask you to accompany Nie Xiaobai to Beijing? Why did you go back by yourself?"

The young man saw that the young master didn't seem angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "It was Mr. Bai who asked the young one to come back first. He said that he could do it by himself, and he had to do other things. He had to travel day and night. He said that the young one had no internal strength. If you can't make it in time, it will delay your trip, and the younger one is also afraid that it will hinder Mr. Bai, so you are sure that Mr. Bai really doesn't need the younger one, so you come back."

Jiao Yun rubbed the center of his brows, this bastard really did hide something from him.

"Young master?" The little servant was afraid that Jiao Yun would scold him, so he thought of something, and quickly took out something from his arms and handed it to Jiao Yun, "By the way, young master, this is what Mr. Bai asked the younger one to bring back to the house. , Said that it is usually not necessary so much, let the little one bring back the rest to Madam."

Jiao Yun looked at the bank note handed in front of him, his face darkened even more.

He took it and gave the boy some scraps of silver as money. He almost didn't stop, bought some food and went out of the city. When he arrived outside the city, he saw that there was no one else, so he threw it into the space and continued on his way overnight.

Jiao Yun almost didn't stop much on the way, sleeping in the inn when he met him, and sleeping outside directly if he didn't.

But even with such a hurry, Jiao Yun failed to catch up with Nie Baichang.

Jiao Yun's face was dark all the way, if it's not tricky, he will take his surname!

And when Jiao Yun was full of energy to rush on the road, Nie Baichang was also traveling day and night, because Nie Baichang set off one day earlier, and his physical fitness was better, so he traveled faster, so he was two days earlier than Jiao Yun. Rush to Linzhou mansion.

In an inn in Linzhou Mansion, Nie Baichang met a confidant sent by Bai Xuan.

The confidant's surname is Tian, ​​and his name is Tian Yilin. He was disguised by Yi Rong, with a big beard, like a businessman.

Tian Yilin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nie Baichang, "My lord, you are finally here!"

Nie Baichang's energy was not bad after he had been on the road for several days, but his brows were rarely tired, "What are you going to do next?"

"According to what your lord said before, there is still a day or two away. It is a small town, and everything has been arranged. I also found a corpse that is about the same size as the son. I will freeze it in the freezer to delay the time of death. When the time comes." Burn the corpse directly with a fire, and the corpse will be seriously damaged, leaving only the bones. Although the elder brother of the young master will conduct an autopsy, after a few days, he may not be able to examine anything." Tian Yilin looked at Nie Baichang Absent-minded, he knew everything related to Nie Baichang, thinking that he was reluctant to part with that elder brother and that aunt Wan, after comforting him, he began to explain the location and time in detail, and there were also his own people prepared there.

Nie Baichang hummed, "Is there any movement in the capital?"

Tian Yilin's face changed slightly, and he nodded, "The Ning family has been looking for it for several months, and it is estimated that it will not be long before we find it, so we have to successfully fake death before then."

When the time comes, there will be no proof of death. Even if the Ning family doubts, the threat to them will be lifted after the death, and they will not take any more actions at the risk.

Nie Baichang's expression was still serious: "Will they deal with the Jiao family after I'death?"

Tian Yilin shook his head: "You can rest assured about this. They are only suspicious, and they are only targeting you. They would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, but if you are gone, they will not take risks. After all, the Jiao family's wife is now Marry Master Tao, and Master Tao is from the Tao family in the capital, and is the county magistrate's wife, they will not take this risk."

After all, he is a county magistrate, so he is different from ordinary people. It would be wrong to involve more things because of the death of the county magistrate.

Only then did Nie Baichang let out a sigh of relief and understood what he meant. What the Ning family wanted was that the child would not survive back then, and that he would not be a threat to them in the future because of this so-called royal blood. The family members also have the blood of the royal family. If the child does not exist, they will not attack others.

On the other side, Jiao Yun, who had been on the road for more than ten days, just wanted to catch Nie Baichang shaking his shoulders and scold him: You bastard!Hurry up and hurry up, is it necessary to rush to death? !He felt himself falling apart on horseback.
