The danger of this man can be felt, and the soldiers stared at this killing god vigilantly, not daring to move forward easily for a while.

He Zhou raised his eyebrows, took out a signal bomb from his arms, pulled it, and the shell quickly flew into the sky and exploded under everyone's eyes.

"I said you are a bunch of cowards," he smiled contemptuously, clenched the knife in his hand, and loosened his neck, "Come on!"

Nanling.

Qin Zhaoyi had talked with He Zhou in advance, and after a certain time, he set off with a few boats and stopped fifty miles away from the Donghu barracks. When he saw him send out the signal flare, he went full speed to rescue him in the Donghu barracks.

The purpose is not to kill Donghu people, only He Zhou.

Jing Zhao and Guan Yue were in Fengdu and had just landed, "What time is it?" Jing Zhao asked the soldier.

"It's almost time."

"So if there are no accidents, Brother He has succeeded." Jing Zhao looked at Guan Yue, who nodded and said, "Let's go, we have to hurry back to Linjing."

"it is good."

Ping Wei slept for nearly six hours, probably because he was too tired, he didn't sleep well in the Yamen last night, and he was injured again, which caused him to sleep deeply.When he woke up at noon the next day, when he was packing his luggage, he saw He Zhou's clothes also placed in the closet, and he sighed.

I left suddenly, before I could tell him.

I don't know how he is doing.

In fact, Pingwei really wanted to stay in Linjing for one more day, maybe the other party could come back, but the emperor in the palace wanted him to leave quickly...

I really don't miss the father-son relationship at all.

Quickly packed up his things, and after breakfast, Ping Wei talked to the servants again, watched Xu Bo give them the money, opened the door and walked out of the yard.

I saw a large group of people standing outside.

They are Qi Zheng and Zhang Lingsi who are familiar with each other.

The two leaned in front of a carriage and seemed to be chatting in low voices. They turned their heads when they saw someone walking out—Qi Zheng straightened up and walked towards him, while Zhang Lingsi was a little cautious and walked towards him slowly, that's all right a gift.

"You guys are..."

Ping Wei was a little puzzled, and his eyes fell on the clothes of the two of them, both of which were ordinary clothes, not the usual official clothes.

"Could it be..."

Qi Zheng seemed to be in a good mood, and said in a light and authentic tone, "Your Highness, I will go to Yuzhou with you."

Pingwei was surprised, "It's Emperor Chong..."

He remembered that this time, Qi Zheng helped him investigate the secrets of the palace more than 20 years ago, and boldly stole the dossier from the Cangshu Pavilion. Emperor Chong must not tolerate him.Can't help but ask softly worriedly, "Have you been dismissed?"

"It is said that I will be suspended for a period of time, and let me go to Yuzhou for training," Qi Zheng replied quickly, without any annoyance on his face.

Pingwei looked at him, "Don't you feel sad?"

"No," Master Qi smiled slightly, "I have been an official for more than ten years, and I am tired of these intrigues, so I just take advantage of this time to rest and walk around."

Pingwei was helpless, but Emperor Chong asked them to go to the plague land, which was extremely dangerous.

But it is best for Qi Zhengneng to think this way, without so many worries, and then looked at Zhang Lingsi who was standing next to him, "Why are you here? Didn't you just enter the Ministry of Rites?"

Zhang Lingsi smiled wryly. He was not as good as Qi Zheng. This time he was called to deal with the plague in Yuzhou for no reason. After a word, why did you notice him.

"I don't know...the decree I just received last night."

Ping Wei nodded, it seemed that he was also implicated in this case, thinking about the case of cheating in the imperial examination last time, he had contact with Zhang Lingsi, so Emperor Chong sent him to him as well.

"It's okay, I'll take care of you," Ping Wei promised.

"Okay," Qi Zheng answered quickly, obviously trusting him.

Zhang Lingsi nodded anxiously.

After exchanging pleasantries with the two, Pingwei looked at the five people standing behind them again, and Qi Zheng introduced, "These are some medical officers from the Imperial Hospital."

"The next official is Qingshu," a middle-aged man in his fifties stood up, probably the leader of their group, and said respectfully.

"Mr. Qing," Ping Wei had heard about him. It is said that this person is very skilled in medicine, and he has dealt with plague and other things before.

Qing Shu looked behind him, "This is Wen Zhong, Yan Gui, Qing Ru and Mencius Jiu, all my students."

Ping Wei looked at them one by one and memorized their names. Wen Zhong and Yan Gui looked very similar, "Are you brothers?"

"Yes," it was Wen Zhong who answered, his brows were frowned, a dimple appeared on the side of his mouth, and he was a fat, young man with a lot of spirit.

Yan Gui was calmer than him, and only smiled lightly.

Pingwei nodded and looked at Qingru, what surprised him was that this was a woman, very young, probably in her early twenties.Seeing that his eyes were fixed on A Ru, Qing Shu looked a little unnatural, and said softly, "This is the daughter of the lower official... After hearing about Yu An and Yuzhou's accident, she insisted on following her."

Ping Wei was a little surprised, this one was voluntary, frankly speaking, the plague is very deadly, and if he contracted it accidentally, there is almost no cure for it. He thought that these five doctors were all in danger, so he didn't want to come.I don't want someone to take the initiative to ask for Ying, and it's still a woman.

He looked at each other with a little more appreciation in his eyes.

Mencius stood next to Qingru, coughed lightly, then Pingwei looked away, and then looked at him.

"This is Zijiao," Qingshu looked up at him, with an embarrassed expression on his face. After much deliberation, he still confessed to His Highness, "He and Ah Ru are lovers."

It was also the first time for Qi Zheng and Zhang Lingsi to see these five medical officers, and they were not very familiar with them, and they didn't talk much while waiting outside, but now that Mr. Qing said this, they looked at Zijiao and Aru with more eyes. A bit of probing and gossip.

A smile appeared on Pingwei's lips, "So that's how it is."

After a pause, he said loudly, "It's getting late, let's go now."

"Yes."

Everyone responded and got into the carriage.There were three vehicles in total, five medical officers took two vehicles, because they also brought a lot of medicinal materials, one for Ping Wei, Qi Zheng, and Zhang Lingsi.

The two got into the car first, Ping Wei looked back at the other courtyard behind him, Xu Bohong waved to him with eyes, Ping Wei smiled gently, we will meet again.

He stepped into the carriage, and the carriage moved slowly.

But Linjing City... probably won't come back.

At the gate of the city, the soldier asked who was inside the groom, and after reading the official document, he was about to let him go, but Pingwei suddenly remembered something, and he lifted the curtain of the car and asked the soldier on duty, "You have a soldier named Chen Jing, Are you here today?"

The other party saw Ping Wei poking his head out suddenly. Although he didn't recognize him, he was stunned when he saw the other party's appearance, and said, "Let me ask for you."

Then he ran away, and Ping Wei waited for a while, when he heard someone knock on the carriage, he opened the curtain and saw that Chen Jing.

"You looking for me?" Chen Jing was not on duty at the gate of the city today, and was transferred to do other things, but when he heard that someone in a luxurious carriage was looking for him, he wondered if it was His Highness, and ran over to have a look. It really is.He was a little surprised.

Ping smiled, "I have something to trouble you."

"Please tell me," Chen Jing said seriously.

"In a few days, there may be three people entering the city. Their names are He Zhou, Liang Jingzhao, and Guan Yue. Tell them for me that I have gone to Yuzhou, and I am not in Linjing City." Ping Wei looked at him gently, "Remember Yet?"

Chen Jing defaulted to the names of those people in his heart, nodded, "I remember, please rest assured."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Ping Wei paused, and then added, "How are you doing recently?"

Chen Jing was slightly stunned, and looked at him with eager eyes, "It's pretty good, I've been living a good life."

Ping smiled slightly, "Then let's go first, see you when we have a chance."

As he spoke, he lowered the curtain.

Chen Jing stood at the same spot, watching the carriage pull out of the city gate, the other party always appeared unexpectedly, stayed for a short time and then left quickly, he couldn't help but feel a little...

Chen Jing didn't figure it out, he slowed down for a while, until the colleague on the other side called him, then he came back to his senses and continued to do the errand just now.

Ping Wei sat in the carriage, Qi Zheng sat next to him, and asked, "Is this someone your Highness just met?"

"Well, let him help tell He Zhou and the others that I have left Linjing City."

Qizheng knew about him and Guard He, glanced at the drowsy Zhang Lingsi next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Then Guard He is coming to see you?"

Pingwei turned his head and glanced at him, seeing Qi Zheng's secretive look, he couldn't help smiling, "Of course he will come."

"Oh..." Qi Zheng nodded.

"What's the matter?" Ping Wei was still smiling, "It will be more convenient for us to have him here."

"Why?"

"He's better at fighting," Ping Wei smiled, "I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you two if something happens."

Sir Qi was speechless, he and Zhang Lingsi... are two helpless scholars.

"Then when will guard He arrive?"

"I don't know, I haven't had time to find out what's going on in Nanling. Is the war going well?" Ping Wei was too busy these two days, dealing with the relationship with Emperor Chong, so he didn't pay attention to Nanling.

Qi Zheng received the news last night, "General Qin attacked the Donghu army at night the night before yesterday and returned with a big victory."

Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that both Jingzhao and Guan Yue were fine, "The night before yesterday... I don't know if He Zhou arrived in Nanling or not."

"If you haven't arrived, you should come today anyway," Qi Zheng said, "according to the strength of the guards."

Ping smiled slightly, "Do you think He Zhou is hard to mess with?"

Isn't it? Qi Zheng looked at him, saw the warmth in the other's eyes, and said carefully, "Yes...a little..."

Ping smiled and said nothing, thinking that He Zhou was very good, although he was a little willful at times, but generally speaking he was very much in line with his wishes.

Seeing his smiling face, Qi Zheng felt a little helpless, and patted Zhang Lingsi, who was already snoring beside him, "Go to the coachman in front."

"Hmm..." Zhang Lingsi was woken up by him for no reason, and looked at him blankly.

"Go quickly."

"Oh..." Zhang Lingsi obviously hadn't recovered yet, and walked to the front in a daze.

Only Qi Zheng and Ping Wei were left in the car, and the latter looked at the former puzzledly. Qi Zheng said, "Your Highness, last night I suddenly received an order from His Majesty to go to Yuzhou. Your Majesty still has some questions about this matter. Can you answer it?" ?"

"Ah."

"You and His Majesty are... have you resolved the problem?"

"Forget it... right," Ping Wei hesitated, "I promise him that he will never return to the capital."

"What?!" Qi Zheng was horrified, and stared at him with wide eyes, "So this trip, is it possible that this trip will be the last time that your Highness will work together?"

Ping smiled, "It seems so."

"Where does your Highness plan to go?"

"Go back to Yu'an. I might stay there when the epidemic over there is brought under control."

"With guard He?"

"Well," Ping slightly frowned.

"..." Master Qi was speechless.

Ping Wei looked at his face, "What's the matter, do you want to resign and join me?"

"Hmm..." Qi Zheng was really thinking about it. He looked at His Majesty opposite him with a complicated expression—he was really slow, and His Majesty would definitely not let His Majesty go to a plague-stricken place like Yuzhou. The mentality of the other party's return, I actually realized it.

Ping Wei shook his head and laughed straight, if Emperor Chong knew that his ministers had just been abducted by him, he would not have to trouble him again.

"Farewell, the governor of Linjing Prefecture is so good, why do you resign for no reason?"

"Just a little tired," Qi Zheng was about to say that he was reluctant to part with the other party. He certainly didn't believe it, so he said with all his heart and soul, "I have been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and I have had enough of those intrigues, so I want to take a good rest. Can you ask Your Majesty to tell him if he can be transferred to Yu An as the prefect?"

His eyes lit up, and he looked at Pingwei with burning eyes.

Ping smiled and shook his head, "Let's talk again, do you have any questions?"

"Your Majesty thought yesterday that You Buqing had a connection with Donghu Xizuo. If he belongs to His Majesty, then His Majesty ordered him to do so?"

"I thought about this before. It should be ordered by Emperor Chong. Donghu has invaded Daqi several times. He must not be able to bear it, so he used You Buqing as a pawn to ask the other party to give Donghu two stones to encourage them. Send troops to Daqi again, and allow their spies to enter the city secretly, creating an illusion for Donghu that they are sure about taking Nanling, and then think of me, an illegitimate child who has been living in the folk, and arrange for me to deal with the theft of arms Case. On the one hand, you can find a reason to fight back against Donghu, and on the other hand, you can use You Buqing to kill me, killing two birds with one stone."

"But You Buqing didn't attack you?"

"That's right...that might be an omission in his plan. Emperor Chong didn't expect that You Buqing felt that blowing up the people around me would be more cruel than blowing up me."

Ping smiled. In fact, he also felt that Jingzhao's death would be ten times more uncomfortable than his own death, but Chongdi didn't know, because he always had only himself in his heart, and everyone else was his stepping stone, and he threw it away after use.

"So it is very likely that His Majesty will send troops to completely crush Donghu this time?" Qi Zheng asked.

"It's very possible that General Qin in Nanling may be busy," Ping Wei said.

Lord Qi said again, "Didn't His Highness be called to the palace by the Queen the day before yesterday?"

"Ah."

"I heard that the second prince also went to the palace to look for the queen that morning. I don't know what he said. After he returned, he was looking into his biological mother."

"His biological mother?" Ping Wei was taken aback, remembering her name, "Meng Jiuxi?"

"Yes, I finished the interrogation of the coffin shop owner yesterday evening. When I got back to the yamen, I saw him waiting inside and told me about my biological mother. I suspect that he may have some vague knowledge of the conflict between you and His Majesty. But I didn’t dare to express my position too clearly, I only came here to hint a few words.”

"Implying that there is a problem with his biological mother, is it the courtier who framed Gu Jing back then?" Ping Wei answered quickly, "It seems that the queen may have reminded him."

"Yes," Qi Zheng said, "Do you think the Queen and Concubine Ming are really friends?"

"It should be," Ping Wei said indifferently, "after all, both of them were hurt by Emperor Chong."

One loved him deeply, but never got a response, and the other once loved him passionately, but was abandoned as a pawn in the end.

Ping Wei sighed, speaking of which, he left Linjing City and hadn't met his biological mother yet.

Some people are born with no relationship with their loved ones, and he is probably one of them.
