Qiao Moyun stared at the chessboard lightly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't do anything.

Qiao Zhao looked around and saw that the guards were all guarding from afar, and he didn't have to worry about someone getting close to eavesdropping, so he sat down on Qiao Zhao's side and said bluntly: "I have studied that fang." ”

Shao Mingyuan sat down and asked, "What kind of poison?"

Qiao Mo listened intently.

"This poison is supposed to be extracted from a spider called the red-faced tarantula. ”

"Red-faced tarantula?" Shao Mingyuan muttered these four words, only to feel that the name of the spider was very special.

"The ruddy tarantula should grow in the Lingnan region. Qiao Mo suddenly spoke.

Qiao Zhao and Shao Mingyuan both looked at him.

According to local stories, a bride was bitten by a poisonous spider hiding in the sedan curtain when she got off the sedan chair, and she died of poison before she walked into the door of her mother-in-law's house. Qiao Mo's voice was as warm as a spring, and he was not in a hurry to talk about the red-faced tarantula.

"Lingnan-" Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Zhao glanced at each other, and the two of them obviously thought of the Lingnan Rebellion twenty years ago at the same time.

Could it be that the person who shot at Master Wumei is related to the traitor Su Wang?

Thinking of this, Shao Mingyuan said to Qiao Zhaozheng: "Miss Li, this matter will end here." ”

If it really involves the remnants of King Su and the rebellion of the royal family, then it is not for them to be involved.

"I see. Qiao Zhao did not refute.

She can't take care of her own affairs, of course she won't get involved in such a thing as a royal rebellion, once such a thing is touched, it will be a catastrophe.

At this time, a guard approached, stood not far away and said, "General, there is an urgent report." ”

Shao Mingyuan stood up: "Uncle, Miss Li, you sit first, and I'll come when I go." ”

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the gazebo and went straight to the study.

Back in the safe and secure study, Shao Mingyuan sat down: "Take the emergency report." ”

The guards put the emergency report in both hands.

Shao Mingyuan looked at the mark on the emergency report, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled at the corner of his eyes.

It's Ye Luo's letter, could it be that Doctor Li has found the kind of gel beads needed to treat his uncle's burns?

Shao Mingyuan opened the seal of the fire paint, took out the letter inside and read it quickly, his face gradually turned iron-blue, and the slender fingers holding the letter paper trembled slightly.

The guards held their breath and hung their heads not daring to disturb.

After a long time, the atmosphere in the study seemed to be condensed, and Shao Mingyuan spoke: "Go and invite Gongzi Qiao to the study." ”

"Commanded. ”

Seeing the guards go out, Shao Mingyuan said in a deep voice: "Remember not to let Miss Li see the clues." ”

"Humble duty understands. ”

After the guards closed the door of the study, Shao Mingyuan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and sighed.

It didn't take long for the guards to bring Qiao Mo in: "General, Qiao Gongzi is here." ”

"You go out first. ”

Only Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Mo were left in the room.

Qiao Mo's gaze swept over Shao Mingyuan's ugly face, and moved down to the urgent report placed on the bookcase.

He couldn't see the contents of the urgent report, but he had already guessed that it must have something to do with this sudden urgent report.

Qiao Mo waited for a while, and seeing that Shao Mingyuan didn't speak, he took the initiative to ask: "The person behind the poisoning of me, could it be that there is new progress?"

Shao Mingyuan shook his head slowly.

It's already so difficult to speak in the face of my uncle, what should I say in the face of Miss Li?

"What's the matter with Master Hou?" Qiao Mo was faintly uneasy.

Even when he was told about poisoning, Champion Hou never hesitated like this.

"It's Doctor Li. Shao Mingyuan finally spoke.

Qiao Mo looked at him suddenly, and his heart unconsciously lifted up.

Shao Mingyuan sighed: "I received an urgent report from the subordinates who escorted Doctor Li to the South China Sea, and after their group went to sea to collect gel beads, they encountered a hurricane at sea, except for him who was rescued by a passing ship, everyone else was killed. ”

Qiao Mo staggered back a few steps, held on to the bookshelf, and said in a lost voice: "Including Doctor Li?"

Shao Mingyuan nodded slowly.

Qiao Mo sat down in despair, inserted his ten fingers into his hair in pain, and muttered, "I hurt his old man." ”

Shao Mingyuan was silent.

In the face of natural disasters such as hurricanes at sea, he could not accuse his subordinates of dereliction of duty, and because of this, his heart was even more empty and uncomfortable.

The two sat silently in the study, and after a long time, Qiao Mo looked at Shao Mingyuan as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Zhaozhao is there-"

He respects Doctor Li as an elder, but in fact, he hasn't gotten along much in the past. But Zhao Zhao is different, for Zhao Zhao, Doctor Li is another grandfather.

"Do you want to tell her?" asked Shao Mingyuan.

"Of course. Qiao Mo said without thinking.

"Miss Li will be sad. Shao Mingyuan asked softly.

Qiao Mo rubbed his eyebrows fiercely and said with a wry smile: "Yes." However, the news has been hidden for a while, and it is better to tell her now than to tell her later, let her go through the same sadness and blame us for concealment. ”

Seeing that Shao Mingyuan was silent, Qiao Mo sighed: "Don't worry, although Zhaozhao will be sad, she would rather be cruelly honest than hide it with kindness." ”

"My uncle knows Miss Li very well. ”

"Yes, as I said earlier, she is very similar to my eldest sister. ”

Shao Mingyuan lowered his eyes: "Then about Doctor Li, please ask my uncle to tell Miss Li." ”

Qiao Mo couldn't cry or laugh, looking at Shao Mingyuan's gaze a little strange.

Shao Mingyuan confessed: "I'm afraid that Miss Li will cry." ”

"Alright, I'll go tell her. Qiao Mo stood up, although he couldn't see anything on his face, he walked with a heavy weight.

They are men, and no matter how hard they are, they have to endure it, but why should the eldest sister and a girl bear this? If he can, how much he wants to feel sorry for her.

Qiao Mo returned to the gazebo.

Qiao Zhao was idly knocking on the chess pieces, when he heard the footsteps and looked up, he threw the chess pieces back into the chess jar and stood up: "Big brother-"

The look on her brother's face made her swallow the rest of the words.

Qiao Mo sat down opposite Qiao Zhao: "Zhao Zhao, sit." ”

Qiao Zhao sat down silently.

"Zhaozhao, I have something to tell you. Qiao Mo opened his head and looked at his sister's clear eyes, but the words behind him were speechless for a while.

Shao Mingyuan stood behind the acacia tree, looking at the direction of the pavilion from afar, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

"Big brother?" Qiao Mo's silence made Qiao Zhao's lips gradually pale, and he suppressed and trembled and asked slowly, "Is it related to Grandpa Li?"

She has lost almost everything she can lose, and what else will make her brother dare not tell her?

"Big brother!"

Qiao Mo stretched out his hand and put it on the back of Qiao Zhao's cold hand: "Doctor Li encountered a hurricane at sea and was killed. ”

Qiao Zhao straightened his back and said nothing, his emaciated cheeks whiter than the winter snow.

Qiao Mo clenched Qiao Zhao's hand and said softly: "Zhaozhao, eldest brother is here, you are not alone, cry if you are sad." ”
