Chapter 249: Finding Someone
Qi Rong stared fixedly at the portrait on the table, and the woman with a scorching posture stood there and smiled, as if communicating with someone outside the painting, although the outfit was different, it was no different from the current appearance.

Yes, Qi Rong was the one who ordered the dark guard to take this painting out to inquire about the news, and as expected, someone had seen her, in addition to the people who had seen her in the chaos of Qingtuo Temple, there was also a place that surprised Qi Rong.
Buntokan.
Speaking of Wentong Hall, Qi Rong heard about it when he was in Qi State.
Manluo is the first in the world, and the most respected in the country are wizards and witch doctors, which can be said to be completely different from the Qi country in the world.
However, there is an ancient academic museum in Manroe, almost every city in Manroe has a branch of it, and the gentlemen in it are also outstanding and knowledgeable masters, not inferior to the students of Qi who are literate and knowledgeable.
As for the origin of this museum, there are different opinions, but no one can say clearly which king it was established from, but every king of Manro who has ascended the throne has great respect for it, and although he does not establish a country based on it, he never dares to blaspheme.
Some gifted children, if they are interested in this, will go to the Tongwen Pavilion to register for an interview accompanied by their family members, and they need to obtain the approval of the master in the Tongwen Pavilion before they can enter the museum to study, which is also quite an honorable thing.
Qi Rong remembered that he used to read the history of the country, and the emperors of Qi Rong's grandfather's generation were still friendly with Manro at that time, and he once sent the best literati and scholars of Qi to come to Manrotong Wenguan to exchange academics, which was also a good story.
Knowing this, Qi Rong was even more puzzled, why Bao Qi would appear in Tongwen Pavilion, there was only a small chance, but this possibility, Qi Rong himself felt very small.
"What's going on on with the messenger?"
Qi Rong lifted his eyes from the picture scroll and asked about the situation with no emotion.
"Returning to the Holy Shrine, the messenger arrived at the temple of Manro yesterday and was received by King Manro, and tomorrow there will be a welcoming ceremony. ā
Qi Rong was a little surprised that Ling Yu's trip went so smoothly, but wasn't this the result he wanted.
"Continue to keep an eye on it, and report any situation as soon as possible, especially the actions of the envoy to ensure the safety of the envoy. ā
"Yes!
The ordered secret guard retreated in civilian clothes, Qi Rong looked at the portrait on the table, his thoughts gradually rose, and he had a hunch that everything was not far away.
"Madame, Madame, the temple is here!"
Bao Qi was picking out clothes for Qi Heng'er in the house, Yun'er's voice had already sounded from outside the door, and then she saw a woman who was a little out of breath running in.
Bao Qi carefully selected the clothes in his hand, and did not look at the people who entered the room, but said,
"Look at your panic, there's some news from the temple that makes you so excited. ā
Yun'er was excited by Bao Qi's words, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained,
The slave just wanted to tell Madame quickly where there was excitement. ā
Bao Qi didn't poke her either, just waited for her to continue,
"Madam, news has just come from the temple, saying that a reception banquet will be held tomorrow to welcome the ambassador of the Qi State, and I invite Madame to go with you! ā
Bao Qi's hand touching the soft little clothes paused, and then said casually,
"There's nothing to do with this. ā
First, she said five years ago that she would take off the identity of the saint, if she went this time, in what capacity, she hid it for five years, if she was seen, it would be a trouble, and second, she didn't want to give Ling Yu any misunderstanding, so as not to lose etiquette, not to mention, there was Heng'er, it was impossible for her to put Qi Heng'er down by herself, of course, it was even more impossible for her to take Qi Heng'er to the temple to show her face and show her identity.
Yun'er's breath was obviously weak, and she asked tentatively,
"Why?"
Bao Qi glanced at her, only sighed softly, and did not speak, but the answer was already written in her eyes, Yun'er felt a little disappointed, but she also understood what her wife meant, after all, the current situation is still very special.
At the banquet the next day, Zhong Mo fulfilled the etiquette of the country to Ling Yu, this reception can be regarded as grand and important, and it also gave Qi Guo enough face, which can be regarded as a lot of improvement from the previous performance.
In the inn of Qucheng, the black-clothed secret guard reported in detail the scene in the temple during the day, and Qi Rong listened carefully while continuing to give orders, after all, the purpose of this time was still on Ling Yu.
It's just that in the end, after responding to all the news coming from the temple, the dark guard hesitated and continued,
"Back to the Holy Shrine, the people in the temple did not see Manro's ...... this time Saint. ā
Qi Rong was also a little surprised,
"Didn't see that?"
"Yes, the holy woman of Manro did not appear from the beginning to the end, and was not even mentioned, and the people inside tried to inquire and did not get any news about the holy woman. ā
This immediately aroused Qi Rong's curiosity, he had heard of the deeds of this legendary saintess, but such a major banquet, the saint did not participate, and she did not even show her face, looking at this scene, it sounded as if it had disappeared, which was completely inconsistent with the rumored situation!
The saint is like the patron goddess of Manro, every generation guards the country, since hearing that this saint appeared five years ago, he has not heard the news of the disappearance of this saint, Qi Rong is keenly aware of the difference, but he can't figure out what is the problem behind it.
"Pass the order, don't let the people inside look for the saint first, keep an eye on the important people first, don't make mistakes. ā
"Subordinates obey!"
The Missing Virgin ...... Saint......
Qi Rong tapped the table with his fingertips slightly, slowly recalling the news he got, but he was never able to connect it, but the matter of the Holy Maiden, after all, is only a secret matter that belongs to his country, and he can temporarily put it on the side, but this does not mean that he will not pursue it.
Mastering any opponent's hole cards is for his own safety, and he is still an emperor after all.
In the afterglow of the sunset, Qi Heng'er sat on the side in a decent manner, with a pair of sparkling eyes, looking at Bao Qi in front of him - the book in his hand, until it slowly closed, Bao Qi said with satisfaction,
"Heng'er has made progress again, can you thank the master today?"
Qi Heng'er blinked,
"Heng'er thanked the master. ā
Seeing that Bao Qi smiled and nodded, Qi Heng'er continued,
"Mother, today the master praised Heng'er, Heng'er wants to ask her mother...... Heng'er tomorrow, can I take a day off?"
Bao Qi looked at Qi Heng'er pitifully at herself, with a pair of small hands on her fingers, which made her want to laugh and be looked at softly, pursed her lips and said,
"Heng'er wants to rest, even if her mother agrees, has Heng'er asked her master?"
Qi Heng'er's eyes flashed,
"Does my mother agree that Heng'er is resting?"
Seeing Bao Qi's smiling expression, Qi Heng'er said with little white teeth,
"As long as the mother agrees, Heng'er can take a holiday, because today the master has agreed to Heng'er~"
Bao Qi sneered and laughed, and scratched the little clever ghost in front of him with a smile.
"You're going to do it first. ā
