Chapter Fifty-Eight: Qingyue Gathers
As soon as he arrived in the town, Ye Yujiang went to the pharmacy, but Xiao Qing never showed up. After sleeping in bed again, eating a hot meal, and changing clothes, everyone's injuries seemed to be half healed in an instant. Ye Yujiang went to the bazaar and hired more than a dozen big men, who were actually the responding force of the Qing Gang. There are a few who are seriously injured and must be left to rest.
Ye Yujiang wanted to rest for two more days before leaving, but the next day he received news that he couldn't contact the person who followed Wu Hou on the way to Qingyue. After looking for a day, so many of them and the carriage seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of them.
Xiao Qing was anxious when he heard this, thinking that he was ambushed this time, it seems that the enemy in the shadows must be cut down and eradicated this time. I couldn't stay any longer, so I hurriedly prepared dry food and medicinal herbs so that I could go on the road as soon as possible. Ye Yujiang went to thank the father-in-law, saying that there was an urgent matter at home and he could no longer go along. The boy didn't say anything else, and said goodbye gently. It's really like a chance encounter on the way, and when you get to the fork in the road, you go your separate way.
Xiao Qing and the others walked for another week before they arrived in Qingyue. Xiao Qing has almost recovered, but he always feels that someone is staring at him in the dark, and he is extra careful along the way. Because he was worried about the old lady, Han'er and Yurong, Xiao Qing couldn't calm down and practice. Cang'er's matter has never come to a conclusion. That father-in-law never appeared again, but Xiao Qing felt that he would definitely see him again.
As soon as he arrived in Qingyue, Ye Yujiang hurried to contact his own people. Let's see what's going on! So many people don't have one or two, how can they suddenly disappear?
Yujiang went to inquire about the news, but Xiao Qing couldn't stay alone, so he took Yumei to the largest teahouse in Qingyue. In general, there is always a variety of news in such places. Xiao Er led up to the second floor. Xiao Qing has a good habit of carefully observing the terrain wherever he goes. Where are there doors and windows, where can they be used as exits at critical moments, where can they hide, etc.
The second floor is very spacious, which is extremely rare in such a town. As soon as you go up the stairs, there are scattered tables in one piece, and the inner row is full of private rooms. It's just that there is a person standing at the door of the private room by the window, and the figure is very familiar. Xiao Qing was watching, the man raised his head with a smile, and made a silent movement. Xiao Qingping retreated from Xiao Er and went straight to the figure.
"Courtier, knock to see the emperor!" Xiao Qing bowed straight.
"Since you're out there, you're all right? Have you caught those fanatics?"
"Back to the emperor, the poison has been resolved, but I don't know what poison is. When I met the help of nobles, I barely got killed, but I didn't catch anyone. ”
"I heard that Wu Hou and the old lady were going to travel to the south, so I have been concerned about their safety. You've been careful. It's just that he was ambushed. When I heard the news, I was very uneasy, and I chased all the way, not wanting to go to the vicinity and lost the news of Wu Hou. Wu Hou and the old lady Jiren have their own natural appearances, so you don't have to worry. ”
"Thank you for your compassion!"
"Now that you're outside, you don't want the emperor to call you, and it's not convenient to act, so it's better for you to call me Sizun, and I'll call you Yuqing. ”
"Courtiers don't dare!"
"I'm sure you're calling!"
"Yes!"
The atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, Xiao Qingzhen didn't know what the emperor was singing. Those who are not kings and ministers will not be out of proportion.
Xiao Qing was still very worried, and he didn't know about the Flame Order, what did the emperor think? What is the reason for the emperor to leave the palace now? Xiao Qing doesn't think that the Hou Mansion is so important. Sima Lan also seemed to sense that the atmosphere was too awkward. With a light cough, he summoned Imperial Doctor Liu.
"Imperial Doctor Liu, you show Yuqing, what hidden dangers can be left!"
Imperial Doctor Liu respectfully checked the pulse and diagnosed it for a long time before putting down his hand.
"Back to the master, the poison is no longer a problem, presumably the antidote pill is very valuable, so that the remaining poison can be cleared so thoroughly. It's just that the lady is a little weak, and the villain can prescribe a prescription to recuperate. ”
"That's very good. Yesterday, the imperial guard reported that there was a deep mountain in the north of Qingyue, and Wu Hou and the old lady disappeared after entering the deep mountain. Let's go check it out tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
Sima Lan sent someone to pass the meal, but during the banquet, he was very close to Xiao Qing, like a patriarch. really flattered Xiao Qing. Before leaving, the emperor said to Xiao Qing seriously.
"Yuqing, your body is still very weak, go back and have a good rest, don't think nonsense, everything has me. ”
When the emperor said so, Xiao Qing looked confused. What kind of trouble is the emperor making here? Why did he suddenly change his sex? Didn't he always pick up a gun and a stick, full of suspicion? Before he could calm down, he heard a familiar voice.
"Madame, what a coincidence?
It's none other than the son-in-law.
"Gongzi Yue, what a coincidence, you also come to Qingyue!"
Xiao Qing didn't feel surprised when he saw his son-in-law. Xiao Qing found out that the second floor had been cleared at some point.
"I'm just traveling all over the world, and I can go wherever I want! This friend of yours is extraordinary, handsome and martial!"
Gongzi Yue was polite and bowed his hand towards Sima Lan.
"Yue-Gongzi, I'm really interested! Coming to my Eastern Dynasty is not just about enjoying the mountains and rivers!"
"I heard that Brother Sima is here, and I am afraid that I will lose my courtesy, and I am even more afraid that I will be an assassin for unknown reasons, so I have come to pay a visit. Brother Sima, I came here for personal matters, and I don't want to meet you here. Brother Sima won't blame me for not telling me in advance. ”
"The eldest prince, I am very polite, I have always been hospitable in the Eastern Dynasty, and I have always been courteous to the guests who are 'polite'. Like the Great Prince, I should be entertained. ”
Listening to the battle between the two, Xiao Qing lowered his head in interest and stepped aside. However, I did understand a little, and sure enough, this son-in-law was not an ordinary person! He was actually the eldest prince of South Vietnam? I just don't know what he was doing when he came to the Eastern Dynasty? Was it by accident that he met himself or something else?
"It turns out that Madame is the famous Madame Jade, the little general. No wonder it's so special, blame me for not recognizing Madame's snubbing. I heard that Wu Hou suddenly disappeared, and we had some friendship along the way. I also want to do my best, it is better to walk with my wife tomorrow, and I hope that my wife will not refuse. ”
As he spoke, he approached Xiao Qing and whispered.
"Wu Houfu has suffered many times and still can't find out the mastermind behind it, has Madame thought about the reason?"
No matter how sluggish Xiao Qing was, he could hear the meaning of the words, not to mention that he and Mo Ke had already discussed, and they both thought that the royal family would definitely be inseparable.
Nowadays, finding Han'er is the first priority, if the emperor openly helps to find it, but secretly obstructs it, it is really not easy to do. But how can you be sure that the great prince will not do something in the middle?
"At least we are afraid of each other, so we don't dare to make any big moves!"
Gongzi Yue whispered again, as if he had seen through Xiao Qing's mental activities.
"In this way, I will thank the eldest prince for Wu Hou!"
"Hahaha, Brother Sima knows that on the way to Qingyue, Madame Yu was attacked, and the assassin's knife was stained with poison! The blade of the knife was facing the wind, faintly floating with a layer of blue gas, but it was reflected in the red light. I heard that there is a poison called Blue Moonlight, and there is a sign of this! Brother Sima should be careful! So, see you tomorrow, you two!"
Looking at Sima Lan again, his face was already green! he reluctantly coped with Xiao Qing, and then separated.
"Blue moonlight, it turned out to be really blue moonlight, or the big prince is alarmist. Blue moonlight is extremely rare, and one of the ingredients is completely in the hands of the royal family of the Eastern Dynasty, who has such boldness and so much energy to do such a thing without himself. Let Xue Fei check if the rain lives!"
"Is the eldest prince talking about the blue moonlight? Is the blue moonlight controlled by the royal family of the Eastern Dynasty alarmist, or is it true? Is it deliberately divided or is it specially reminded?"
Xiao Qing also thought about it for a long time when he went back.
