Chapter 23 Missing Person Notice
In Changzhou City in the early morning, the city gate was wide open at this time, and the morning market had been open for more than half an hour.
At the entrance of the city gate, in the distance, Zhang Mo found the portrait of Chen Xiuwen and Qiulan, with a big missing person notice written on it, and the time was only pasted this morning, so there are many people watching.
"Qiulan, it seems that you and Xiuwen are really from the palace, but if you enter the city like this, you must be discovered immediately, do you think about how to deal with it?" Zhang Mo reminded.
Qiulan wears a curtain hat, and she will definitely not be recognizable if she doesn't take it off. It's just that when entering the city, there are officers and soldiers guarding it, and everyone must take off their hats, and Qiulan will definitely be found when the time comes.
It's just that she didn't look worried, and said, "Wait for me!"
As she spoke, she walked to the woods beside the road, and quickly walked out. It's just that his face has changed, so that Zhang Mo is almost unrecognizable.
"Will you be transfigured?" Zhang Mo said in surprise.
"It's just a small skill of carving insects, this is a point disguise method, I and Miss I have been with a doctor before, I didn't expect it to come in handy today. Let's go, this acupoint transfiguration method only has an expiration date, and after an hour, I will return to my original appearance. As she spoke, she strode toward the city gate, not in the slightest fear of being recognized.
Zhang Mo hurriedly followed, and sure enough, he saw Qiulan easily entering the city.
The two came to the money village in the city, and then Qiu Lan saw that she took out Xiuwen's jade pendant and handed it to the store.
"Prepare eight million golden tickets for me, you can't open a royal head, one thousand for each golden ticket, understand?" Qiu Lan reminded.
Qian Zhuang's junior immediately said that he understood, and then prepared the golden ticket.
Half an hour passed, and Xiao Er came to the counter with the golden ticket and said, "My lord, the little one has prepared the golden ticket according to your requirements, do you want to count it again?"
"No need, thank you!" After speaking, Qiulan put all the golden tickets into a bag, and then left with Zhang Mo.
After Qian Zhuang Xiaoer saw Qiulan leaving, he immediately turned around and reported to the shopkeeper. Then the shopkeeper left through the back door and hurried towards the yamen.
In Changzhou City, there are not many large and small money banks, but there are not many royal golden tickets, no more than ten. The money village where Qiulan and Zhang Mo went was closest to the entrance of the city gate, and the two took the money and immediately left the city.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the two of them left the city, a large group of men and horses left the city, and then divided their troops into three directions to chase them.
Da Da Da ......
Zhang Mo and Qiulan hid next to an official road, and only showed up when they saw a team of people walking away.
"As the princess expected, if we stayed on the official road, they would have caught up with us. Qiulan said with some joy.
Zhang Mo said: "You and the princess don't like to be followed, what if you meet a bad person?"
"We're all practitioners, if we meet bad guys, we will beat them up!" Speaking of this, Qiulan found an alternative, "Of course, except for you!"
"Hmph, if I were a bad person, you would have died a long time ago!" Zhang Mo said coldly. In his opinion, the two of them are bold and reckless, and sooner or later they will suffer, and it is better to let them suffer a little now than to let others bully.
It's just that Zhang Mo forgot their identities, if ordinary people knew that they were from the palace, they would have knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, how dare they do it. Zhang Mo is also a newcomer, and he has no personal experience of the dangers of the world, but fortunately, he has been taught by the half-hung teacher Tiezhu for ten years, otherwise he will inevitably suffer.
Qiulan didn't argue with Zhang Mo, this young man was too cruel, and if it was not good for the princess, she would be a sinner, so she simply pretended to be deaf and stupid.
Next, the two of them walked out of the three-mile area, and then flew to the Xiling Depression District in Beisha.
......
The officers and soldiers who were divided into three routes to chase Zhang Mo and Qiulan soon returned to the city, and a man in gold armor waited for a long time at the entrance of the city gate.
"General Hui, we chased all the way, but we found no trace of the princess!" said the captain of the first team loudly.
"General, my team chased for thirty miles and didn't see the princess!" said the captain of the second team.
"General, we are the same!" said the captain of the third team helplessly.
Seeing that none of his men had caught up with the princess, the golden-armored man sighed and said, "Okay! ”
After speaking, a large group of people returned to the mansion.
At this time, in the hall of the government office, Governor Lu Chaolun was pacing back and forth worriedly.
The gold-armored man came to the hall of the palace, knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Lu, my men and horses divided their troops to chase, but in the end they still didn't find any trace of the princess, it seems that the princess deliberately didn't want us to find it." ”
"General Chen, I don't care if you find the princess or not, I can immediately send troops out to find the whereabouts of the princess, if there is no result in seven days, you can take off your robe and fuck me off!" Lu Chaolun shouted angrily.
The princess disappeared in Changzhou City, and as the lord of a state, his sin could not escape, and if the princess died, his official career would end here.
"Yes, my lord! After speaking, General Chen hurriedly retreated.
In fact, he was also aggrieved in his heart, the princess has hands and feet, if she wants to hide, who can find it immediately. However, he didn't dare to refute, otherwise Lu Chaolun would immediately pick up his armor.
Soon the streets and alleys of Changzhou City posted portraits of Xiuwen and Qiulan, and other counties and towns also posted their portraits, which made the ordinary people of the entire state take action, after all, finding these two women can get a lot of bounty.
The news of Princess Xiuwen's disappearance in Changzhou soon spread to the palace, and the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince gathered together excitedly to celebrate.
The eldest prince said: "Second brother, third brother, let's raise a glass and drink!"
"!"
"!"
The second prince and the third prince raised their glasses and drank them all.
After a glass of wine, the second prince smiled: "I really didn't expect Xiuwen, this crazy girl, to be found, it is better to be eaten by the beasts in the mountains, and we will have peace of mind in the future." ”
"Second brother, what you said is so right, Xiuwen, this girl is not afraid of heaven and earth, she fought with us for everything before, she didn't look like a girl at all, now it's okay, out of sight is clean. The third prince echoed.
The eldest prince said: "I'm afraid that Xiuwen, this girl, is hiding somewhere and is happy, in case she is tired of life in Changzhou, and after returning to the palace, we will suffer again." ”
The second prince said: "Big brother, now my father already knows that Xiuwen has disappeared, and ordered the entire Changzhou Mansion to search for this girl with all his might, it is said that all streets and alleys are plastered with their portraits, I believe there will be news of them soon." Why don't we go down and take a look, don't let Xiuwen's girl be found so quickly. ”
"I agree with the second brother's proposal!" the third prince echoed. He hated Xiuwen very much, before he asked his father for a good horse, and finally Chen Xiuwen took a fancy to it, this good horse was taken away by her, so how could he not be angry. If it weren't for his own sister, he really wanted to beat her up.
It's just that Chen Xiuwen has one of the biggest dependences, and this reliance is the old emperor. She is deeply liked by the old emperor, and even if the third prince is unwilling, he has to obediently give the good horse to Xiuwen.
The eldest prince said thoughtfully: "Two imperial brothers, why don't you ask your father for your life, go to Changzhou to find Xiuwen, I will cover you on the side, and after finding Xiuwen, how about finding another opportunity to repair this ghost girl?"
The second prince and the third prince felt that it was feasible, so the three brothers came to the palace, and then made their intentions clear to their father, Emperor Chen Peiyu. Chen Pei was very moved to see that the two brothers cared so much about their sister, so he readily agreed that the two would go to Changzhou to find Xiuwen.
......
Xiling degraded the warehouse, and Zhang Mo and Qiulan returned with gold coins on Beisha.
Qiulan informed Chen Xiuwen of what she had seen along the way, and said, "Princess, as you expected, the officers and soldiers of Changzhou City are searching for us everywhere, and it seems that they will not let us find out, and they will not give up." ”
Xiuwen smiled, "Then let them go to find it!" These officials are afraid of responsibility, and besides, I came to Changzhou with the emperor's order, if I have an accident, none of them can get out of it." ”
"It's just that some people are worried and some people are happy, and I guess those royal brothers of mine are probably drinking wine right now to celebrate that I have been eaten by wild beasts. Then they will send people to Changzhou, and then pretend to search for it, and if we are found by them, it is inevitable that we will be taught a lesson, and if they cannot find it, they will go back to the palace and tell our father that we have died at the mouth of wild beasts. ”
"Hmph! I don't want them to do it. When they get to Changzhou, we'll find a chance to tease the brothers who arrived, otherwise they think I'm really so easy to bully. ”
Qiulan gave a thumbs up and praised, "High, high! The princess is really tall." ”
Zhang Mo on the side didn't expect the royal children to be so despicable in their intrigues, and he didn't bother to get involved in the affairs between them, so he said: "Princess, I won't participate in your royal affairs, just say which demon beast you want, of course those two birds don't count." ”
Xiuwen nodded, she had no extra choice, and said, "Which spotted tiger do I want, it looks majestic! ”
Zhang Mo immediately sent a message to Banhu and said: "From now on, you will follow this girl for the time being, and after you leave Xiling, ask her directly for anything you need." But remember, you can't hurt ordinary people, your job is to protect her, and you can ignore the rest. ”
"Yes, master!" replied, and then it came up to Xiuwen and let out a low growl at her.
Xiuwen didn't understand what it meant, and was so frightened that he retreated again and again.
Zhang Mo smiled: "Princess, the spotted tiger will follow you in the future." It has just told you that it will be at your disposal from now on, and that you should be kind to it. ”
Xiuwen immediately promised that he would never let the spotted tiger be wronged, and he would treat it with good food and drink.
Zhang Mo saw that there was nothing to explain, so he took his share of the gold coin and left in Beisha.
When Zhang Mo returned to Zhangjiabao, Zhang Jing, Zhang Cai, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Yong came to his home.
"Hey, why are you here?" Outside the door, Zhang Mo asked a little puzzled when he saw the four of them coming together.
"Zhang Mo, why did you go home, where did you go before?" Zhang Jing asked. The four of them came to see Zhang Mo, but found that he was not at home. They were a little ashamed to leave Zhang Mo alone in the town before, so they came to apologize.
Zhang Mo smiled, "You came just in time, I didn't blackmail the money of the two girls before, and I didn't wait for me when I saw you, so I played in the town for a while, and bought some food by the way, I wanted to send it to you, but since you came, I will give it to you directly." ”
After speaking, Zhang Mo walked into the room, and then took out a bag of osmanthus cakes.
"This pastry tastes good, I ate some along the way, and the rest is yours. Saying that, Zhang Mo handed the pastry to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing saw that there was food, and he did not doubt whether his words were true or false. He knew that Zhang Mo had blackmailed Xiuwen and Qiulan before, and the two gold coins had not been spent yet.
When Zhang Cai and the three of them saw that there was something to eat, they all stretched out their hands to ask for it.
After the four of them finished eating the osmanthus cake, Zhang Jing took out a portrait and said: "Zhang Mo, these two women are really from the palace, we are in a big disaster." Honestly, what did they tell you when they left, and where are they now?"
