Chapter 49: Memory and Exploration
Qi Zhu didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he didn't know how long he had been on this boat, but he only knew that when he woke up, the place where he stayed was already bright.
The person was still tied hand and foot, and his mouth was gagged, but he was not thrown on the floor in the corner, but on a broken wooden board covered with a straw mat, Qi Zhu twisted vigorously and looked around.
It was a very small room, with a thick wooden door, and only a small window was open near the roof, just enough sunlight to let in, and it was impossible to escape like this, Qi Zhu didn't bother to struggle, and hung his shoulders in frustration.
Lowering her head and not knowing what to think for a while, Qi Zhu struggled again, turned her head and pressed her head against the wall behind her, and listened to the movement outside with her ears sideways, as if she could really hear something.
While listening, I twisted and jumped to change positions, and I was very troublesome.
But she didn't realize that she had been displaced, and now she couldn't hear anything.
In the accidentally bright room, there stood a man in brocade clothes, with a bit of evil in his eyes, an eagle nose and thin lips, and a prodigal posture.
The slave who came in sneered, but he didn't dare to be too obvious, and bowed over to report to the man in front of him,
"Tell the young master, the person has moved out, tossed for a night, and now I just woke up, but I didn't make any trouble, I stayed honestly. β
The man smiled evilly and snorted,
"Girl, dare to fight labor, hum, see what kind of flowers you can toss this time, let you also taste your master's skills!"
As the man spoke, he pulled one side of his cheek, as if he was still reminiscing about the original slap, and the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was extremely prodigal.
"Have the people of Qi Mansion all set off?"
The servant hurried and said,
"It's time to set off, and I received the news from Xiangguofu early in the morning, so Master Qi set off immediately, and he took his second young master with him. β
In the last sentence, the slave deliberately aggravated it and curried favor.
The man was very satisfied with this, the sneer under his eyes became stronger, he touched his chin, and said to himself,
"Labor and management are not people who can't fight back, I want to see if it's your Qi Mansion's money is tough, or my Shi Jundao's methods are hard!"
The slave nodded beside him and kept praising him, and Shi Jundao almost listened to it, so he waved his hand to let the other party go down.
It has been a morning since Master Qi set off, and the Qi Mansion is in a panic, waiting for his master to bring the young lady back, but in this Qi Rong's courtyard, it seems calm and quiet as usual.
Bao Qi asked Qi Rong for a map, saying that she wanted to take a closer look at the location and geography of the three cities, but in fact, she just wanted to quickly familiarize herself with the territory of Qi State.
I don't know if I was forced, or if I didn't find it before, Bao Qi has been feeling more and more that he has a good memory recently, almost to the point of never forgetting, perhaps, starting from the good hearing that has never been forgotten, this is inevitable.
Deaf and clear-sighted, it must always be closely related, and you can't favor one over the other~
Bao Qi quickly checked the territory of Qi and found that this area seemed to be not small, the national capital was northern, and the terrain was mostly plain, so Bao Qi carefully remembered the location on it again.
The map Qi Rong took was very detailed, and almost some of the main roads or towns were on it, of course, Beixing Village was not there.
Bao Qi traced the location on the map with his finger, and said casually,
"I haven't drawn this neighboring country, and I don't know what it looks like now. β
Qi Rong said lightly,
"This is the national map of my Great Qi, naturally there is no other country, and even if there is, it is naturally not comparable to the territory of our Great Qi. β
Bao Qi naturally answered,
"I'm a little curious when you say that. β
said and patted his head, very ashamed,
"I didn't have many opportunities before, but now I have learned a little bit of it, but it has been fun. β
Qi Rong smiled lightly, picked up a roll of drawings casually, and said while unfolding it,
"It's the first time I've seen a woman interested in the territory of this country. β
Bao Qi's heart was a little empty, and his face was stable with a little embarrassment,
"I just look at it, feel the vastness of our Daqi, how can I understand anything else, not to mention, with such a good gentleman as you, I naturally want to make good use of it. β
Bao Qi said a little naΓ―ve and a little playful, Qi Rong only glanced at him a little deeply, bent the corners of his mouth, and laid out the drawings.
Bao Qi swept his eyes casually like looking at a flower, and said in admiration,
"I didn't expect you to be here, everything is quite complete, what do you want, it's really admirable. β
Bao Qi lowered her head and said, not forgetting to quietly look at Qi Rong's changes with her eyes, she had long known that Qi Rong was talented, but how could this seriously ill person still have so much strength to study so many things?
Looking at the location of the map, it is still placed in the corner, and it is placed very carelessly, but there is no dust on it, and it is obvious that I often look at it.
Qi Rong's cheeks were only pale and his voice was faint and gentle,
"This study was set up before, when I was young, I always felt that there were many things I wanted to learn, and I was as curious as you were, so I learned from Mr. Everything and came to a copy, so it was so full, and then I couldn't move, and I didn't bother to clean it up. β
In Qi Rong's words, he obviously thought that he thought that his health would be better, but he had no choice but to sigh strictly, but he said a sense of indifference and ease, as if he had seen it for so many years.
Bao Qi's face was gloomy, and he nodded in understanding, but his heart was clearer than the previous sympathy, and Fang Cai's suspicion did not decrease in the slightest.
The two chatted casually in the house for a while, and Bao Qi also took the opportunity to remember the current world, and he could be regarded as a rough understanding of what kind of sub-bureau he lived in.
There are some things that you don't necessarily know that are useful, but if you don't, it's hard to be in them.
Just after noon, the sun was a little less hot, Qi Rong looked out of the door, slightly pensive, his face was fair and translucent, but when he saw Qi An running in a hurry, he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and his voice trembled a little,
"Something happened to the young master! The spies of the Xiangguo Mansion quickly returned, master...... The old man was on the way to Yuyang...... Something happened!"
Bao Qi was startled, Qi Rong's brows furrowed instantly, but his shallow voice was very tight,
"You say slowly, what the hell is going on?!"
Qi An's face was flushed, sweating profusely,
"The guards from Xiangguo's Mansion who went with this master just rushed back and sent urgent news, saying that the master and the second young master are in ...... On the way to Yuyang, he was attacked and turned back halfway to ......"
Qi Rong's voice sank and said,
"But anyone is hurt?"
Qi An lowered his head,
"The guard only said that the second young master was injured to protect the master, and did not say that the master's situation was ......."
Qi Rong's eyebrows were shallow, no situation is a good situation, and then he deepened it again, and said in a slightly low voice,
"But someone was sent to pick it up, where are you now?"
