Loyal heart travels a long way

Today is not a bright and clear day, the sun has been hiding behind the clouds shyly and timidly, the sun is getting darker and darker, which makes people lose interest.

And this wind, when the summer is hot, it is lazy to come out to give you some coolness. In this season, let alone the first month, the northwest wind blows the snow foam from the roof and greets you on your face.

At the gate of the Chu Mansion, a beautiful woman was wearing a blue-gray horse-faced skirt, a moon-white long jacket with a stand-up collar and a dark green cloak, and her gestures were dignified.

The woman took good care of herself, and she had a pair of unparalleled romantic Ruifeng eyes, but there was a touch of sadness between her brows, so that there were some fine lines in the shape of "Sichuan" between her brows.

"Cheng...Yonger, you must be more careful when you go here. Don't rush forward when things happen. If you can't make a contribution, don't do it. Mother just wants you to come back safely." , it was Chu Lang, the wife of the Qin family.

Qin Yong's expression at this time is also much softer, not as aggressive as when facing Qin Zhengqi, blinking Ruifeng's eyes that are no different from Chu Lang, and said in a relaxed tone: "Madam, what are you thinking? It's just If the Daisheng finds the eldest princess, he will definitely come back whole and whole, and I won’t find the emperor and ask for my head.”

Chu Lang couldn't help laughing out loud: "You're the only one who can make me happy." After saying that, Chu Lang frowned again: "You have to take over this job, so why bother to get angry with your master, mother won't come back It's not a problem, after all, it's the wife of the main house, no matter how much the master favors Xian'er, he won't treat me badly."

"Isn't this asking my wife to come back to take care of her health?" Qin Yong didn't want Chu Lang to know about Qin Zhengqi and Qin Xian's affair, so he changed the subject and said, "Doesn't my wife want to eat Qizhou's dim sum? This time I can let Xiao I go to Zuixianlou to buy it and eat it every day."

"Why are you so greedy?" Chu Lang said angrily, and told Qin Yong to put on clothes in the cold weather, drink medicine on time, and finally touched the bandaged wound on Qin Yong's forehead with pity, before bidding farewell to his son.

The emperor's order to return the pearl was urgent, and Qin Yong left the next day after receiving the order.

As he and Qin Zhengqi said, Mrs. Qin accompanied her and traveled on the official road for about six or seven days before arriving at the grandfather's house in Qizhou. After resting in Qizhou for a day, she was about to leave for the south.

When the first emperor was still there, old general Chu had been old for many years.

Old General Chu had the merits of following the dragon when the first emperor seized the throne, and he was quite talented in leading troops and fighting, but Old General Chu was very tactful and witty, so he disarmed and returned home early.

Later, the court was in turmoil, and the ambitions of the old generals grew gradually. Only the Chu family was able to prosper and prosper to this day, and it was also because the old general Chu knew what it meant to be a dead dog.

Now that the new emperor ascended the throne, in fact, Old General Chu also made some efforts secretly. The new emperor seemed to vaguely want Old General Chu to return to the capital, but the reason was complicated, and the clansmen were all eyeing him, so the matter could only be postponed.

At this juncture, since he was not in the Qin residence, it was impossible for him to leave Chu Lang at home alone.

Knowing the son is like the father, before the late emperor passed away, he originally wanted to be the eldest prince, but the eldest prince was too impatient, and actually tampered with the late emperor's food, the late emperor made a decree for the fourth prince to ascend the throne, and the eldest prince was rewarded by Mobei The fiefdom, without an imperial edict, is not allowed to return to Beijing.

The fourth prince, the new emperor, had learned the art of war from his grandfather, so his grandfather would naturally help him, and Qin Zhengqi had always belonged to the eldest prince's faction before.

The new emperor has been intentionally treating the Qin family coldly since he ascended the throne. If he were not around at this time, Chu Lang would be no different from Qin Zhengqi's hostage to hold back General Chu. If Chu Lang was not sent back, the new emperor could not be completely at ease with old General Chu.

Heh, want to be a grasshopper on the same boat with the Chu family?Qin Zhengqi didn't even think about it.

The carriage shook dizzily, Qin Yong leaned on the cushion and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, closed his eyes and thought about the known news:

Back then, Princess Jingming drove out of the palace in a micro-clothes to go to the Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival. At that time, there were more than ten princes and princesses brought out by the late emperor. Only the eldest princess Jingming disappeared, and there were many hidden guards around the late emperor. The loss of the princess did not cause any alarm. It is not unusual for anyone, even the princess' wet nurse Chang to disappear along with her.

After the first emperor returned to the palace, everyone found that the princess and the princess' nurse were missing, which means that the two escaped all the hidden guards and guards when they disappeared, so there are only two possibilities:

Either Mrs. Chang had a different intention and abducted Princess Jingming, or someone in the palace abducted Mrs. Chang and the princess together.

The Chang family is a female family, and the foster mothers and wet nurses in the palace have always been cautious in choosing, so their background should be no problem.

That is to say, if it is the first possibility, Chang's must have been instructed by someone to take care of her.

Regardless of the possibility, the princess is definitely not lost, and the mastermind behind it is very likely to be a certain empress, a certain prince or princess, or even the late emperor himself.

Signaling everyone to stop and rest, Qin Yong knocked on the window frame: "Shadow Two."

"Master." A person came in through the window and knelt on the floor of the car with one knee. He was not very handsome, with small eyes, but his attitude was respectful.

Even though Qin Yong never showed his emotions very much, he couldn't help but twitch his brows: "When you followed the emperor, did you have the same face every day?"

"Returning to the master, in the palace, you are working on the beam every day, and the human skin mask is of no use."

Qin Yong: "..."

Shadow Two: "Master?"

Qin Yong took a deep breath: "It's nothing. Where might Princess Jingming appear in the news report back then?"

"Return to master, Lan Ling."

"Lanling..." Qin Yong thought for a moment, then asked again: "Did you only visit Lanling for so many years? What about the surrounding towns and countryside?"

"Returning to the master, I have searched all the surrounding towns and found it in the Renyazi market. There was once a man Yazi who bought two girls who were about the same age as Chang's and Princess Jingming."

"Where is that human tooth?" Qin Yong reckoned that this person might be dead. Since Ying Er gave him the disappearance, it must be a correct tip. But if this human tooth was caught, Princess Jingming and Chang would have already been arrested. Found it: "Dead?"

"Yes, master, between Xiapi and Tancheng, hidden weapons."

really.

"Next, go to the Pi." After Qin Yong gave the order, he stopped talking, leaned back on the pillow and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Ying Er cupped his hands, turned out of the carriage, and the two servants carried a medicine box to replace Qin Yong's forehead. Medicine, one covered Qin Yong's legs with a quilt.

——These two young servants were rewarded by the emperor, and they were a pair of brothers. The one who changed the dressing was not very talkative, he was the elder brother, and his name was Qian Duoduo;

The two brothers are the adopted sons of Eunuch Qian, the chief eunuch, and they are a pair of blood brothers. They took care of Qin Yong very wholeheartedly along the way.

Both Ying Er and the Qian brothers were bestowed by the emperor, so Qin Yong did not let the Qian brothers retreat when he saw Ying Er.

"Young Master..." Qian Manman endured the child's curiosity and asked, "Why did you go to Xiapi instead of Tancheng?"

"Tancheng is the direction to go back to Lanling." Qin Yong opened his eyes: "Ren Yazi who was silenced after selling Chang and Princess Jingming should not be an insider. Ren Yazi who wants to sell people across cities has his habit. Then he will probably sell the person in his hand and go back to Lanling to buy others. This kind of person is also called Dao Ye Ye, who specializes in earning the difference between buying and selling. The government searched Jing in the city. Regarding the whereabouts of Princess Ming, the murderer would not strike right away in the city, it would be a night full of dreams, so he should find an opportunity to silence Ren Yazi as soon as he leaves the city."

Qian Manman nodded and stopped talking.Qin Yong took a look at Qian Manman, continued to close his eyes and meditate, Qian Duoduo gave his hands a pause, then turned around and said, "Manman, go outside to see if the master's medicine is ready."

Qian Manman agreed, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

As soon as Qian Manman left, Qian Duoduo's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop. Qin Yong opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows to look at Qian Duoduo.

"My lord," Qian Duoduo calmed down and said, "My brother is young and ignorant, so I don't intend to find out anything. My lord, we signed a death contract. The emperor gave us two brothers to you. We are two brothers. We don't need to enter the palace cleanly like our adoptive father, we... If you are worried, you can let us look after the property for you when you return to Beijing, don't..." Qian Duoduo seemed to be at a loss for words, took a breath before continuing Said: "Otherwise, the young master will send me back, don't send Manman back, will you, young master?"

Qin Yong was silent for a while before opening his mouth: "Are you afraid that your brother will be sent back?"

Qian Duoduo nodded: "Yes, young master, in fact, the servant should have entered the palace last year. If it wasn't for the rash, he wouldn't be here today. The servants of the Qin family are afraid of the young master, but in fact, the young master has never treated his servants harshly. The servant and Manman have both signed death contracts, and now they are the son's slaves. Eunuch Qian is getting old now, and the emperor is also promoting a new father-in-law. If the son sends us back, there is no foster father in the palace. I won't live long." Qian Duoduo kowtowed: "What's more, if you are sent back by the young master, the emperor will not spare us two brothers. This slave has a life, but after all, there is still such a brother, and this slave cannot look at him... ..."

"Since there is only such a brother, you should teach him well." Qin Yong took out a copy of "Shui Jing Zhu" from the hidden compartment on the side, and spread it on his knees: "Can you still protect him for a lifetime? Go by yourself at night Receive the punishment on behalf of your brother."

Qian Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed twice before standing up.

……

In the evening, Qian Duoduo received the fine - copied "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" once, and was a little confused: Isn't receiving the punishment a board?Does the young master like to punish people for copying things?
