Chapter 48: Speculation
Bao Qi exchanged a few more words with Shangguan Qingtong, and then welcomed Mrs. Qi back to the house, during which he did not forget to confirm whether Master Qi and Qi Yue had gone to Yuyang.
Mrs. Qi's attitude was still the same, but she was a little tired, and she didn't leave Bao Qi to talk about much, so she sent her away.
Bao Qi naturally couldn't ask for it, since he knew what Mrs. Qi had done to him, Bao Qi was no longer the beginning of Mrs. Qi's mentality, and his face was more deferential.
On the way back to the backyard, Bao Qi has been thinking about going to Hua's house, Master Qi and Qi Yue are gone, the important thing is that now Qi Zhu is no more, and Mrs. Qi's mind is mostly on Qi Zhu, it is a good time to go out.
As for who to send...... Bao Qi thought about it, it was impossible to go by himself, unless he came to the capital, if he wanted to let the people in the mansion go, he could only find Qi Rong's side to recognize him.
With these helps, Bao Qi felt that Qi Rong would still help him, and Bao Qi always felt that Qi Rong, as the eldest young master, could not have only Qi An and Yun'er by his side, not to mention that the other party was still competing with Mrs. Qi.
Bao Qi felt more and more that he should have made a plan earlier, and couldn't help but glance at Yun'er who was following him.
The pace under his feet couldn't help but slow down, Bao Qi looked up at the scenery not far away, and said worriedly,
"I don't know how they are......
Yun'er was listening to Bao Qi's half-talking, and Bao Qi had already stepped away, and quickly followed.
Back in the house, Bao Qi first informed Qi Rong of Master Qi and Qi Yue's trip to Yuyang, Qi Rong looked unexpected, and Bao Qi talked about other things.
"I don't know if there is a suitable man in the house, I want to send someone to the Hua family to have a look, but I am really a little worried......
The corners of Qi Rong's lips were slightly hooked, and he naturally understood what Bao Qi meant, he wanted to find a trustworthy servant, not Mrs. Qi's house, and said with a warm face,
"Fang Cai, I've already found someone to go out, and I guess I'm out of the capital now. β
Bao Qi didn't expect Qi Rong to arrange it in front of him, his heart was a little moved, and a little helpless, his eyes were a little warm,
"Thank you. β
Bao Qi knew that the other party arranged this way, not only to help himself, but also to not expose the power in his house, but Rao was like this, this help still helped Bao Qi's heart, and Bao Qi wrote it down in his heart.
"And what are you going to do next?"
Bao Qi smiled, but still threw out the most critical question.
Yun'er had already quietly retreated and closed the door of the house, and at this moment, only Bao Qi and Qi Rong were left in the house.
Qi Rong stood by the desk, reflecting the sunlight shining in, his white face was even whiter like ice and snow, as if it was transparent, but his eyes were different from the shell, heavy, covering up gentleness.
"Since my father and second brother have gone to save Zhu'er, I will wait peacefully in the house. β
Bao Qi hooked the corners of his mouth, just smiled faintly, carefully looked at the calligraphy and painting in front of Qi Rong, as if recalling,
"Didn't you just say the contents of the note, since it was sent in the name of the pretending flower family, shouldn't I also know something. β
Qi Rong still smiled gently, picked up the pen and wrote slowly, saying as he wrote,
"This is where my father went. β
Bao Qi frowned slightly, looking at Qi Rong's pen and continuing,
"This is where the note is written. β
Bao Qi watched Qi Rong write two different place names on both sides of the rice paper, and finally picked up the pen and wrote another place name in the middle and top of the two place names.
"This is where we are. β
Bao Qi finally understood why Qi Rong's expression was like that when he learned about the two different clues.
The location written on this note is Luozhou, and the location found out by Xiangguo Mansion is Yuyang, if you say these two places, there is nothing special, but this location is worth recalling.
Yuyang is located in the southwest of Qidu, and Luoyang is located in the southeast of Qidu, the two state cities are far away from each other, and they are in opposite directions.
Which one is it?
"How far apart are these two places?"
Bao Qi stared at the words on the paper and asked in a daze.
Qi Rong's eyes did not change his path,
"Qidu is less than 200 kilometers away from Yuyang, about 150 kilometers away from Luozhou, and Yuluo is more than 500 kilometers apart. β
Bao Qi narrowed his eyes, raised his head again, and looked at Qi Rongdao carefully,
"It seems that no matter which way she goes, Zhu'er will suffer with her. β
Qi Rong said slowly,
"Yuyang is still on land, Luozhou is still on the water road, no matter which way you go, the other party is a material that can be made. β
Bao Qi didn't understand for a while, is this praising the other party? After thinking about it carefully, and then looking at Qi Rong's eyes, he was a little surprised, "You mean Zhu'er is ......?"
Bao Qi said the latter words with his mouth, Qi Rong was pale and his eyes were slightly dark, which was a tacit acquiescence to Bao Qi's guess.
Bao Qi was more shocked in his heart, and his questions were deeper,
"Then why did my father ...... when he saw the note?"
Qi Rong lowered his head and happened to be close to some Bao Qi, but he only coughed sideways twice, and his body trembled, and then he suppressed his voice,
"Because that's my mother's house. β
Qi Rong's biological mother, that is, Mrs. Zhengfang of Qi Mansion! Bao Qiyi couldn't make up for the other party's appearance for a while, seeing that Qi Rong's lips were white and his eyes were blocked by eyelashes, he couldn't help but make up for the current tragedy of the wealthy family of Mrs. Qi's concubine who assassinated the main room.
Bao Qi's voice slowed down a little, and it was not good to ask any more questions,
"Where is it uncomfortable, do you want to go to bed and lie down for a while and rest?"
Qi Rong's face was pale, his eyes were light, and his tone was the same as usual,
"I've been feeling better a little lately, so let's walk more on the ground. β
Seeing Qi Rong like this, Bao Qi confirmed his guess for seven or eight points, what a familiar battle, the concubine killed his wife and forced his sister-in-law, Bao Qi even suspected that Qi Rong's illness was caused by Mrs. Qi.
Of course, speculation is just speculation, Bao Qi can only confirm that he and Qi Rong are definitely the same enemy and stand on the same side, as for these various twists and turns, we still have to explore slowly in the future, and we can't wait for a while.
Since Qi Rong dared to secretly resist Mrs. Qi, Bao Qi didn't believe it for so many years, he didn't find anything, not to mention, isn't there still Yun'er?
Bao Qi noticed that Qi Rong definitely didn't tell SΓΉ Yun'er everything, but this kind of thing that makes his subordinates show loyalty will definitely reveal a little, thinking that he has been secretly calculated by Mrs. Qi for so long, and the unspeakable sins he has suffered in the past few days, his heart is even stronger!
