imprinted you in my heart

Ever since Mulan Yu, Zuo Xuan and the others were left behind by Shi Mian, they had been worried all the way, fearing that something might happen to Shi Mian, they hurried all the way without daring to delay, but they chased all the way to the county seat of Juwang County. Seeing Shi Min's figure, the sky was getting dark again, Zuo Xuan became anxious, and continued to chase towards the watchtower pier.

On the way here, they met the Forbidden Army who turned back and reported the news. They learned that the thief had escaped by water, and it was expected that His Majesty would chase him to the pier.

Although Mulan Yu was also anxious, she stopped at the city gate and asked the guards guarding the city gate. After learning that the county magistrate and the county lieutenant had brought people to the watchtower wharf, her heart was finally relieved. Get down, and quickly ride your horse to catch up with Zuohuan.

The group of people ran wildly all the way again, and finally saw a piece of watchtower pier illuminated by torches, and vaguely saw the figure of An Ranru sitting in the middle, whether it was His Majesty or who, the two immediately got off their horses and went forward to salute, Jiang Feng The coldness slapped on the face and the tiredness of the body are nothing compared to the peace of mind and joy at this moment.

Shi Min excused them, asked about the situation on the road, and learned that the Forbidden Army who had turned back to report the news had turned back together, so he didn't say much.

Compared with the joy of Zuo Xuan and the others finally catching up to her, at this moment she is furious. She never thought that the one who attacked would be someone from the Yueli Sect. She had already issued an order to Guo Fanqiu that he must Let the cult of Yuelijiao completely disappear in the Hua Dynasty.

Guo Fanqiu also reported that the work was going smoothly in secret, and all the members of the Yueli Sect who could be found had disappeared in the territory of Huachao. Afterwards, he checked it again, and the effect was not as obvious as before. There is not much news about it, and if you don't know it, you won't get any useful news if you kill it.

So much so that Guo Fanqiu and she thought that Yue Lijiao had been wiped out, and even if there were a few fish that slipped through the net, it would not be a big deal, but now they were slapped hard, and the face hurt.

Secretly saying that the person who has not been found must be buried deep enough. It is not good to rob anyone, but she robbed her lover, and even blatantly made a condition to change Yun Chuan. This is simply revenge and threats.

Moreover, there were premeditated and organized revenge and threats. He was willing to take the risk of exposure for Yun Chuan. It seems that Yun Chuan, the leader of the cult, did quite successfully. I don't know how long the other party has been planning for this, but There must be more than one person!

When she thought that she had used all the manpower and material resources to kill Yuelijiao, but she didn't let Yuelijiao completely disappear in Huachao territory, but instead was suddenly taken by the other party, Shi Min felt a chill down his spine.

Whether the other party really hides too deeply, or Yue Lijiao is far more powerful than she thought, neither of the two situations is what she wants to see.

Since Yun Chuan and Yue Lijiao dared to break ground on Tai Sui, they must have the awareness to pay the price. She has never been the one who can suffer. Whether it is Yun Chuan or Yue Lijiao, she will get rid of it. No one can stop it!

Thinking about it the other way around, since the other party has something to ask, it means that at least Bu Qianxue is safe now, which makes Shi Min, who has been tense all the time, relax a little bit, but Kexin feels uncontrollable even more uncomfortable.

Because as far as the current situation is concerned, the other party will definitely not tear up the ticket. As for whether it will be beaten or tortured, it is hard to say, although she is sure that no one will know what she is doing, let alone Yue Lijiao. , to ensure that the other party does not want to avenge his leader and take the opportunity to collect some interest.

After all, if the Hua Dynasty hadn't defeated Yun Chu'an, Yun Chu'an would still be the actual controller of the Kang Kingdom, and the high-ranking Pope is now a prisoner. There are too many ways to suffer.

As long as he thought that Bu Qianxue might be beaten and tortured by them, Shi Min's heart would be pierced like a knife, and he wished to bear the pain for her that he would not dare to bear for her, all because of her.

Shi Min held the armrest of the chair tightly with his right hand, as if trying to crush the chair.

In such a huge watchtower wharf, the workers and boatmen who were loading and unloading the cargo had already packed up and rushed back to the county seat or at home to rest before the curfew. Except for the cargo ship being guarded and the big ship being brightly lit, other places were in harmony with it. The night is completely integrated.

From time to time there was a sound of echoing on the big ship, as if they were listening to books, thinking about it, the empress dowager hadn't passed the first three months of her death, and she couldn't play music and other happy things, so she could only listen to books to relieve her boredom.

Because of the intervention of the Water Transportation Department, all the large ships that were originally parked in the middle were moved to the top pier, including the cargo ships that were left guarded, so even if they heard a little sound, it was just like cicadas and birds chirping, not too noisy .

The lowest wharf with the most people and the most torches is the quietest place in the whole lookout wharf, except for the sound of burning torches, the occasional sound of the river wind passing by and the sound of big ships.

After the old man Zhang's body was inspected by Wu, he covered it with a white cloth and put it in the carriage. The case might not be settled for a while, so Shi Min couldn't bear him to stay here forever, so he sent a foreign imperial guard to personally escort him back. Buhou Mansion.

He also told her to use a good coffin and bury it according to her granddaughter's wishes. If she returns to her hometown for burial, the Hou Mansion will send someone to escort her.

The officials and soldiers present saw and heard it, and were deeply moved. His Majesty has such sympathy for a servant in the Hou's mansion who has been implicated, so what else do they have to worry about?

In the past, Shi Min might indeed have the intention of flaunting and appeasing, but this time she really didn't, because she was more guilty. First, Wen Zhiyuan had indirectly or directly caused harm to Zhang's grandparent and grandson; She didn't send Zhang's grandparent and grandson to Bufu, so old man Zhang wouldn't suffer from such a disaster?

No matter what it is, it has something to do with her. Even Bu Qianxue was kidnapped because of her, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became.

People in this world attach great importance to the funeral affairs, so she will definitely take care of the funeral affairs of old man Zhang, and she will also take good care of his granddaughter, so that the old man can leave with peace of mind.

Since the other party wants Yun Chuan to exchange, they will definitely send another message. In order to ensure that the bargaining chip is in his own hands, Shi Min sent Mulan Yu to lead four foreign imperial troops to bring Yun Chuan to Yi Tongfan with her handwritten letter. bring.

Zuo Xuan stood not far to the left of Shimin, keeping his hand on the knife, looking at all directions and listening to all directions, the Chief of Staff of the Foreign Imperial Army stood at the left rear, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant stood at the right rear, disguised The inner guards stood on the left and right sides of Shimiao, the closest; the outer guards formed the inner circle, a little farther away;

The torches formed into three unsealed elliptical circles look like three curled up fire dragons from above, illuminating the Nanjiang river in a fiery red, but the situation on the opposite side cannot be clearly seen due to the distance.

The carriage containing the old man Zhang's body had already left, but Wu Zuo did not leave. Although she had completed her task, the county magistrate and the others did not leave. She did not dare to leave without an order, so she had to stand outside.

Shi Min was sitting on the pier, watching the rushing river not far away without saying a word for a long time, staring at the surroundings with left-handed eyes, like a tiger waiting for its prey to appear within its sight range.

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes and footsteps broke the uneasy tranquility, and after a while, someone came to report that the transport envoy of the Water Transportation Department asked to see him.

"Let him in." Shi Min didn't even turn his head, he closed his eyes, broke away again and recovered.

She knew that everyone present was cold, tired and hungry, why wasn't she?Just let her be willful for once, wait here, and she will feel at ease when she gets closer.

"Wu Chicai, the transfer envoy of the Minister's Water Transport Department, respectfully greets His Majesty Shengan." Seeing that His Majesty was facing the river and looking ahead, he did not dare to stand in the middle and salute to block His Majesty's sight.

When the adjutant officer quietly sent someone to inform him that His Majesty was coming, Wu Chicai was teaching his children to read with his partner in the back office. He had begged so many times before to thank his Majesty, but today he came suddenly without warning, and let him I didn't slow down for a long time.

After a quick meal, he hurriedly changed his clothes and chattered a lot, and immediately rushed to the lookout wharf to face the saint. The sedan chair he usually took was too slow, so he rode a horse and galloped all the way. When he dismounted, The official uniforms were all messed up, and his face was flushed red. Now that the clothes were tidied up, his face couldn't be changed for a while.

"Get up." Shi Min didn't even lift his eyes, and continued to look directly at the river, as if looking at it this way, Qianxue and the people who were chasing him could all look back.

"Thank you, Your Majesty" Seeing that His Majesty didn't intend to speak anymore, Wu Chicai didn't dare to say a bunch of arguments that he had prepared. Originally, he thought that something more important had happened, so he sent the Imperial Guards to chase him in person. Now it seems that he Still an underestimate.

His Majesty is in a bad mood, this is known to everyone present, no one dares to make a mistake here, no matter how hungry or tired he dares to be negligent.

Especially the two yamen servants who stopped Shi Min before are still in shock, fearing that they will be settled by Qiu Hou, but Shi Min has long forgotten about them.

As for the foreign forbidden soldier who delivered the letter, until now he didn't know that the person sitting in front was the one who shouted and questioned halfway. If he knew, he might not be able to sleep well.

Seeing that the atmosphere had returned to the penetrating tranquility again, and His Majesty had no intention of leaving at all, Zuo Xuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked up to Shi Min and saluted, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not." , "Then don't say it." Shi Min directly denied it.

"Your Majesty, I must say that the riverside is deeper and the dew is heavier, and the cold wind is blowing in the face. Even if I wait for the martial arts practitioners to stay for a long time, I feel that it is not right. Your Majesty is the honor of all saints. He belongs to the family and the world. Waiting here for a long time It's definitely not a long-term solution, please move your majesty to the county government office or the water transportation department to rest." Zuo Xuan said it all in one go, as if he didn't hear Shi Min's words.

Others don't know, but they did know that they followed His Majesty all the way. They hurried all the way, not to mention eating or drinking, and only stopped to drink once. This was the first half. According to my understanding, nine out of ten I am afraid that I have not eaten.

"Your Majesty, please think twice about the words of Commander Zuo," the Chief of Staff of the Foreign Imperial Army and Wu Chicai, who were closer, quickly echoed.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty." With Zuo Xuan and the others taking the lead, the imperial army, county magistrate, county lieutenant and others naturally followed suit and followed suit.

Fortunately, the area nearby has been cleared and no one else is around, and the big boats have been moved to the top pier, even if they hear it, they don't know it clearly, otherwise, the news of Shi Min's arrival at the watchtower pier would have spread to the county town in a short time.

Shi Min's gaze that had been looking at the river finally came back, and he glanced left and right at the people who were saluting, put his hands on their foreheads, let go after a while, and asked in a low voice, "What time is it now?".

Zuo Xuan replied: "Your Majesty Qizuo, if I have not made a mistake, it should be almost Haishi." When you are away from home, you can tell the time by looking at the sky or listening to the sound of the clock. You can't hear the sound of the clock here, so you can only rely on estimation.

"Move to the Water Transportation Department after a stick of incense, get up." The county government is too far away from the Wangtai Wharf, and the Water Transportation Department is just right.

Zuo Xuan was satisfied with "following the holy edict."

Among them, the happiest ones are Wu Chicai, the Assistant Officer of the Water Transportation Department and the Cao Bing, because His Majesty finally decided to go to their Water Transportation Department. He even dared to say behind his back that they were a lowly yamen.

Although Wu Chi just arrived in a hurry, before leaving, just in case, he still made some arrangements, just in case His Majesty wants to live with them. After all, it is so late, so I specially told my partner I vacated the residence and prepared the meals. I didn't expect it to come in handy, and I was secretly happy.

When Zuo Xuan mentioned the county magistrate, the magistrate was very happy. Even if he didn't make arrangements in advance, he was alone with a few followers, and he packed it up very quickly. Before His Majesty passed by, he could send someone to clean it up. In the end, I didn't expect that His Majesty finally decided to go to the Water Transport Department, and he felt as miserable as Coptis chinensis.

Fortunately, Wu Chicai was standing in front of him, otherwise, seeing Wu Chicai's faintly smiling face would have made him feel even more bitter.

At this moment, Shi Min was only thinking about Bu Qianxue, and she didn't have the heart to use mind reading skills to read Wu Chicai's thoughts. If she knew it, she would probably just laugh it off. They really thought too much. Near the pier.

Time passed little by little, and when Shi Min got up and was about to leave, a black figure ran out of the night, because it was too dark to see what it looked like, but it didn't look small.

Seeing that it had no intention of stopping at all and was still rushing in, the cao soldiers and city guards guarding the periphery immediately showed their weapons and stood on guard, ready to block it when it got close.

Shi Min could see clearly, fearing that they would hurt Qingying, he hurriedly stopped him, "Let it in".

It was the first time Qingying saw so many people pointing weapons at it, and she was a little puzzled when she was about to approach it, because the master would not let anyone hurt it. Are these people all bad guys?

This realization made it tense instantly, and just when it was about to fight, it heard the voice of its master, and those people finally listened to the master's words and retracted their weapons.

Only then did Qingying happily run in from the path they gave way to, and as soon as she got close to Shi Min, she rubbed against her in various ways. Did you run all the way here?" Qingying nodded.

After waking up this morning, it left the palace and went to play in the suburbs. It didn’t go back to the palace until the afternoon when it felt hungry. While eating meat while listening to the palace servants, it knew that the master was looking for it. Smelling the master's smell all the way to find it.

"Thank you for your hard work, but Qianxue is still waiting for me to save her. I know you can take me to find her, so I can only work harder on you." Shi Min touched Qingying's head and leaned over and whispered.

Qingying turned her head to look at Shi Min suspiciously, Shi Min closed her eyes and nodded,

In the end, the plan of going to the Water Transport Department turned into going to eat. Even if she could bear it, she felt very reluctant to go to Bu Qianxue right away, but everyone had been working hard with her for half a day without getting any rice. People can't stand it either.

It is an eternal truth that people have to eat.Even if she didn't have an appetite, she had to go to the Transportation Department to eat and rest in order for Zuo Xuan and the others to have some rest and to find Bu Qianxue.

Naturally, the food of the Water Transport Department was not comparable to that in the palace, but it was still acceptable. Shi Min had a table for one person, and the food was the best, but in the end he only ate one bowl, and the rest went into Qing Ying's mouth.

Shi Min and his party were full of food and drink, and it was almost midnight after a short rest. The foreign imperial army and soldiers sent out to chase them had finally returned. It is difficult to catch up at all. ?
