"Big brother, it's actually nothing, it's just that Tongtong is homesick, I want to take her back to her parents' house so that she can meet her parents. After all, Tongtong still has parents in the Federation, unlike me, who has no father or mother, except for Tongtong and the three of you, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, there is nothing else to worry about. ”

"Brother, no wonder you've been preoccupied lately, now that the empire is in this situation, it's really difficult to go back. It's a pity that the eldest brother has no ability, so I'm sorry for you. ”

"Don't say that, big brother. To stay with you, Tongtong and I are already very satisfied. If it weren't for you, Tongtong and I would have died three years ago. We have been able to live such a leisurely and carefree life in the past three years, thanks to you and my sister-in-law. ”

"Huh. Don't comfort me. I know you want to go back, but you just don't want to make me and your sister-in-law sad. I understand how you feel now, when your sister-in-law just married me and her parents were still alive, I would take her back to her parents' house at every opportunity. It's just that now that her parents are gone, she doesn't have this mind. ”

After a conversation, Yang Qiu found that although his heart was not solved, his heart was a lot more relaxed, and he no longer thought about it so much, so he immediately poured a bowl of wine and toasted Yang Jinmao gratefully. After touching the glass with Yang Jinmao, Yang Qiu immediately drank all the wine, and then poured another glass, wanting to get drunk with Yang Jinmao to relieve his sorrows.

"Don't drink it, brother, if you have this idea, you shouldn't give up, you should believe in yourself.

Otherwise, Sister Tongtong will be disappointed, although I don't say it in my heart, but as a woman, I know this kind of thing too well. As a wife, there is no woman who does not want to be blessed by her parents unless they are gone. You should cheer up, this matter starts today, the three of us will figure out a way together, there will always be a way. ”

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the voice of Feng Ke, Yang Jinmao's wife, and Yang Qiu turned his head to look.

I saw that Feng Ke cleaned up the table of the guests next to him personally, wiped his sweat with a towel, and walked towards himself without resting, and when he came to the front, the style snatched the wine bowl in his hand, and looked at himself with dissatisfaction, accusing himself of not being depressed and encouraging himself without hesitation, Yang Qiu smiled all of a sudden.

Then, he grabbed Feng Ke's hand and snatched the wine bowl back into his hand, and Yang Qiu immediately poured another bowl of wine. After drinking it all, he saw that Feng Ke was glaring at him with a more dissatisfied gaze, and Yang Jinmao on the side also stretched out his hand to persuade himself under Feng Ke's eyes, Yang Qiu let out a long sigh helplessly, and immediately told Feng Ke the truth, hoping that the other party could understand.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't believe in myself, I really can't help it. I've tried all the methods that work, but they can't work. As it stands, I can only wait patiently. Wait until one day when the Empire revokes the warrant for Tongtong, and I will have a chance to bring her back to the Federation. ”

"Nonsense! The solution is that people have figured it out. Nothing in the world is certain. There will definitely be a way. ”

However, after finding that Feng Ke listened, he became even more angry, and slapped his head hard with a "bang", posing as an elder teaching a lesson to the junior, Yang Qiu suddenly shook his head speechlessly, and couldn't help arguing with the other party.

"That's good. You said. Sister-in-law, what else can you do? Tongtong and I can't even leave the tavern now, how can we leave the empire? The spaceships that go to the Federation have been inspected more and more strictly in the past three years, as long as someone covers their faces, they will be blocked, but all the larger luggage is required to be opened by the ticket inspector, how do you say I can let Tongtong get on the ship?"

"Can't you pay for a ticket inspector?"

"No, I can't. Ticket wickets rotate every once in a while, not to mention that there is not only one ticket wicket at the ticket gates. ”

"Can't you buy off the management of the airport ticket office?"

"That's not going to work either. Airport ticket gates are more than just airport staff. Since Tongtong and I appeared at the airport three years ago, the airport is now sending more arrests and inspections from all over the country every day, not to mention those who stayed near the airport to guard Tongtong and me purely because of the huge bounty on the wanted warrant. ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how do you know if you don't try?"

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to try, it's that the risk is too great. It's definitely not difficult for me to get on the ship alone, and the new wanted warrant of the empire is not for me, the key is that Tongtong can't get on the ship. Three years ago, in order to get on the ship, I almost caused Tongtong to die, and I didn't want Tongtong to take such a big risk again. If I wasn't more than 90% sure, I wouldn't have tried it. ”

"Brother. As soon as you say that, there is something that makes me curious, can you answer me honestly?"

"Sister-in-law, you say. ”

"You tell me and your eldest brother that you and Sister Tongtong are both from the Federation. So, why did you come to the Empire?"

"It's a long story. To put it simply, it's because of Tongtong. She was captured by her mother's enemies and taken to the Empire, so I followed. ”

"Her mother's enemy? So, Tongtong's sister's mother is from the Empire?"

"Yes. ”

"Then why don't you go to Tongtong's sister's relatives in the empire for help? If it weren't for the powerless little people like me and your eldest brother, as long as you have a little power, your affairs would be easy to handle." It's perfectly possible to take advantage of relationships...... Oh, you just said that Tongtong's sister's maiden home is in the Federation, that's me mistaken. They should have moved to the Commonwealth......"

"Nope. Tongtong's grandfather is still in the empire. ”

"Then why don't you go to him?"

"I did, otherwise, we would have managed to leave the Empire three years ago. Just because he couldn't find it, Tongtong's grandfather didn't know where to move. ”

"If you find it, you can leave the empire three years ago, brother! Can you be so sure, is Tongtong's sister's grandfather very famous? If so, you tell your sister-in-law what is his name, and I will go out with your eldest brother to help you inquire. Maybe you can find out, so you won't be able to go back to the Federation. ”

Yang Qiu looked at Feng Ke with a light smile, and talked to Feng Ke in his heart, but he didn't have any expectations, but seeing that Feng Ke was so enthusiastic about himself, he thought about it seriously. Realizing that what he didn't say might hurt the other party's heart, not to mention, Feng Ke's mention just now was not unavoidable, maybe this was really a solution, so a faint hope surged in his heart and he opened his mouth.

"His name is Yuan Yizheng. Sister-in-law, have you heard of it?"

However, as soon as his words landed, Feng Ke shook his head silently, and Yang Qiu's heart suddenly swelled with a deep sense of loss. At the same time, Yang Qiu also shook his head silently, and after realizing how innocent the thoughts in his heart were just now, he couldn't help but want to laugh at himself, and grinned.

"Yuan Yizheng, brother, you said that the grandfather of your brother and sister is called Yuan Yizheng!?"

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard Yang Jinmao's voice in his ears, and Yang Qiu turned his head to look.

I saw that Yang Jinmao, who had been listening until now and didn't make a sound, stood up in an instant, and pressed his whole body to the table at once, looking like he was eager to put his face on his face, his eyes were shining and looking at himself, his expression was getting more and more excited, and he was full of deep expectations for himself, Yang Qiu judged that Yang Jinmao might know Yuan Yizheng's whereabouts, and his dim eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes. ”

"This time, when I went to the city to buy goods, I heard that a new city lord came to Pingshan City, and his name was Yuan Yizheng. Maybe it's my brother and sister's grandfather. ”

Then, hearing the exciting news from Yang Jinmao's mouth, Yang Qiu looked up happily and laughed, and hugged Yang Jinmao in his arms excitedly, and kissed Feng Ke, who was also happy for himself, threw down the wine bowl and got up and walked towards the door, wanting to sneak into Pingshan City, the closest to this place, to confirm the facts.

"Brother, where are you going?"

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a voice stopping him from behind him, Yang Qiu turned his head to look, only to see Feng Ke's face change after he got up, and he chased him out in a hurry, pulling Yang Jinmao, who was still in a daze, to block his way with his body, both of them looked at him with concern, Yang Qiu suddenly couldn't figure it out, and showed a look of confusion.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing here? I'm going to Pingshan City to confirm the facts, don't stop me!"

"Brother. It's inconvenient for you to do this, let me or your eldest brother help you. ”

"Can you help me?"

"That's right. Tongtong girl can't do without you. Don't look at her recovery now, she has been very happy for three years, but the illness three years ago made her sick. If you leave her for a long time, she will not be able to stand it, you are a big cap, but at the same time you have a big temper, and it is easy to have an accident if you are not careful.

In case something happens in the city, or someone else finds out that you are a monk, even if you come back, I am afraid that the monks in the city will think about it more. If they had linked this to a wanted warrant and had done a rigorous investigation of the surrounding situation, they would have found out to us. So, let us make sure for you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Qiu realized the painstaking efforts of Feng Ke and Yang Jinmao, seriously thought about it, and found that what the other party said was very reasonable, it was true that under the situation of martial law in the empire, he was not suitable to show his face, not to mention that Yang Jinmao and his wife did not know that they knew that they would not die, and Wu Tong was indeed inseparable from himself, so Yang Qiu nodded and accepted the mention.

"Okay. Then I'll stay in the tavern. Big brother, sister-in-law, then I'll leave this matter to you. ”

"Don't worry. ”

Three days later, a person came from outside the official gate of Pingshan City, with big shoulders and a round waist, thick eyebrows and a wide mouth, dressed as a hunter, and carrying a box two meters long and half a palm-wide behind him, it was none other than Yang Jinmao. As soon as he came to the door of the official mansion, Yang Jinmao held his breath, as if he was complaining, raised his thick fist, and knocked on the door desperately, without stopping.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

It wasn't until the knocking door was opened in a dissatisfied shout, and seeing three or four young men dressed as monks walking out of it, Yang Jinmao stopped, showed a respectful look, and lowered his head expectantly, hoping to have the opportunity to enter the city lord Yuan Yizheng immediately.

"Who are you, and what is the matter with coming to the Yamen?"

"In Xia Yang Jinmao, he is a hunter in the city outside the city, and he wants to ask to see the newly appointed city lord. ”

"Oh. If you have anything, just say it here. The adults have gone out on business, and they are not in the city now. ”

"When will you be back?"

"Tomorrow. ”

However, hearing that Yuan Yizheng was not in the city, Yang Jinmao's heart suddenly swelled with a trace of doubt, he had already inquired clearly before coming to the Yamen, Yuan Yizheng was in the city, how could he not be there. After thinking about it for a while, considering that maybe Yuan Yizheng might have just left not long ago, and before the news could reach the outside, Yang Jinmao bowed respectfully and left the yamen with the intention of coming back tomorrow.
