Chapter 20: Misfortune is wrong
I heard the horse's hooves galloping in the distance. Sure enough, it was the figure of the prince, who rode his horse and galloped, and when he saw the executive, he asked before he got off the horse: "Is there any news?" ”
The senior executive hurriedly handed over the carrier pigeon. Looking at the tired face of the prince again, he was very distressed. Even a piece of green stubble has not had time to be trimmed.
If the prince mentions it in the palace today, he will be guilty of disrespect again. The prince didn't care, opened the note and looked at it carefully. His face gradually changed from worry to doubt.
"Lord Wang?" asked the executive tentatively, "The carriage is waiting at the palace gate when Shenshi, has the prince not seen it?"
This senior executive used to be the prince's attendant. He has taken care of him since he was a child, so he naturally kissed him. Knowing that the prince was about to enter the palace, he immediately arranged for a carriage to wait at the gate of the palace, and this time he saw him riding a horse again. There are some concerns.
"Well, the carriage is too slow. The prince replied lightly, pinched the note, and entered the house.
The senior executives followed behind and asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to use some refreshments, this is in a hurry, and you haven't eaten in the palace, right?"
The prince paused, indeed tired. has been tracking Xiao Jiu's whereabouts all the time. That Tuoba Gu was very cunning, and when he learned that Shenlong Villa was looking for taste, he set up many obstacles. Fortunately, I found which Orion family, and specially said that it was Jincheng. It was impossible for Xiao Jiu to return to Jincheng, so after thinking about it, he also locked Jingmen.
But he received news from Jiangdu again and again. The father ordered eight posters in a row. The matter is more serious, so I have to let people continue to follow, and I quickly whip myself back and rush back.
What the prince has done this time is excessive, if he does not come back to be a cannon barrel, I am afraid that the people will not be at peace, and innocent people will be injured
It's really exhausting. He raised his eyes and ordered: "No need, let people prepare for the bath, and the son will come over immediately." ”
"Yes!" The executive hesitated a little, and then said: "Zihuai has been entangled by that father-in-law recently, if you don't come back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out." ”
The prince continued to walk and snorted: "I didn't expect the minister of state to change direction, it's okay, there are accounts to settle slowly." ”
After taking a bath steadily, Zihuai was already waiting in the front hall. The quiet river is not as good as before. As soon as he saw the prince come in, he immediately made a big salute: "Participate in the prince." ”
The prince was not interested in performing with him, raised his hand, and threw the note back to him.
Zihuai held back a smile after reading it. "The Ninth Master is really interested, we are in a hurry here, and he is having a good time. When he asked me to go to the song and dance studio, I thought it was nonsense. “
Seeing Wang Ye's Tie Qing's face, he hurriedly changed the conversation again: "Although the ninth master is not good-looking, he is very bold and happy. It doesn't matter if it's up or down, and knows the return. Tuoba Gu belongs to the people of the rivers and lakes, and he is easily attracted to people like Xiao Jiu. It's not surprising to play Brother. But why did you take Xiao Jiu away in the first place?"
The prince knocked on the table of pineapple wood. "Maybe it's a bribe. I have checked Tuoba Gu, this person is lonely and arrogant, but I don't know why I got mixed with the prince all these years. However, when the news came, the prince was very dissatisfied with him, and he still had to ask him for something. “
Zihuai thought about it. "No, Xiao Jiu wants to be literary or not, and he can't be martial arts. I also inquired in Jincheng. Xiao Jiu is just an ordinary doctor, and he is not very famous. There was nothing in that courtyard. How could he win him over. “
The prince was silent and fell into deep thought.
Zihuai said again: "The punishment on the Qiu Yu side is also too heavy, although the person lost it in the village." Didn't I also track the clues? Now that her manor is gone, she is still waiting for you to punish her. Lord, you have to have mercy on the jade, too."
The prince raised his eyebrows. "How's her manor?"
Zihuai continued: "A few days ago, a fire was extinguished. Not even a single dragon left of the dragon she raised. ”
The prince frowned: "It's not me!"
When Zihuai heard this, he also frowned. Isn't it the little nine that Shenlong Villa took away after offending Tuoba Lone?
"You also feel it?"
Zihuai came to his senses. "It's still not right, if we don't guess, now that you're back, I can get out. I'll go and rescue Xiao Jiu back to Jiangdu first, and I'll find out if there's anything to ask. "
"No, you and Tuoba Gu are not opponents, now Xiao Jiu is living safely, when I deal with the affairs of Jiangdu, I will go in person, and Tuoba Gu will be jealous of me. “
Although the spies are reporting that they are all safe. The prince panicked inexplicably. Especially what Zihuai said. It's easy to be attracted to people like Xiao Jiu. I feel even tighter in my chest.
At this time, Jiangdu was not peaceful. The prince bit the matter of the refugees fiercely, and if it is strictly investigated, I am afraid that innocent people will be affected. You have to find someone to come out and confess, otherwise the prince won't swallow this breath.
Xiao Jiu has no choice but to wait and see what happens.
For a moment, his eyes dimmed. asked Zihuai again: "I heard that you have been under house arrest by your father-in-law recently?"
"Yes, the prince atoned for his sins. On that day, the minister said that he had something to discuss with me, so I went. It was too late to find out, so in order not to hurt the peace, I had to pretend not to know. "
"Well, it's good to think about her where your mind is quiet, but now you have to distinguish the situation!"
"Yes, Zihuai can't bear it. He didn't have a good impression of Cheng Yujing, the daughter of the prime minister, who was young and vigorous, made a bet with King Ying and accidentally entered the pit.
Now seeing the Fanghua woman alone in the empty house, I also feel unbearable, after all, I was deceived by him. If you can't give pampering, you have to do the rest. I don't know if Cheng Yujing has hatred because of love. We will have to be very careful going forward.
At noon the next day, Xiao Jiu opened his eyes. Tuoba Gu had already prepared the porridge and set it aside.
Seeing her wake up, she said gently, "Wake up, come and use some clear porridge." There is also a workshop in Jingmen Town, which specializes in making fat sheep. You clear your stomach first, feel comfortable, and then we'll try it.
Xiao Jiu thought of last night's feat and laughed secretly. Since I was a child, I have been disappointed countless times, so why should I care so much. If it weren't for his invitation, I would have been ready to part ways with him.
He rubbed his grass nest-like hair and beard. said with a smile: "The wine in Jingmen Town is really magical, and when you get drunk, you don't feel a headache." ”
Tuoba smiled and said, "You are known as a doctor, and you never know how to make medicine for yourself after drinking to relieve headaches?"
Xiao Jiu smiled self-deprecatingly and drank the porridge in one gulp. "Too lazy. ”
Indeed, perhaps in order to be an ordinary man. For all her own things, she is too lazy to do it, too lazy to pay attention. I'm also afraid that once I get into my heart, I won't have the courage to live.
When I was a child, I dressed as a man for convenience and not to be bullied. After that, it will become a habit to be reluctant to give up those brothers. There is only one thing in her life that can make her care.
That's why I worked hard to learn medical skills and learn how to make drugs. It's a pity that they all arrived at the coveted Medicine Valley, but there are still no clues and directions.
Tuoba Gu saw her sad face and rubbed his messy hair vigorously. "Are you still hungry?"
"I don't think so. ”
Then we walked over, and we happened to pass by the ready-to-wear shop to pick up some clothes.
Xiao Jiu was stunned and was about to speak. Tuoba Gu said again: "Knowing that you are a man, people rely on clothes, horses rely on amines, and men also need clothes." You see that you have been wearing Orion's clothes, and it is too unreasonable to follow me back to Xiban. ”
Xiao Jiu pursed his lips and stopped talking.
When he arrived at the ready-to-wear workshop, Xiao Jiu was attracted by the light blue cage embroidered caftan in the hall at a glance. I don't know what kind of vegetation is used to dye the color.
Beautiful and not eye-catching, with white pear blossoms embroidered on it, a row on the neck and a row on the sleeves. Fresh and comfortable. Underneath is a long wrap skirt without a hint of variegation. Only a white belt embroidered with pear blossoms of the same color is embellished, which is very beautiful.
"Such a son, but he picks clothes for his family. The shopkeeper saw that Xiao Jiu's eyes were about to straighten, and he hurriedly asked.
Xiao Jiu waved his hand awkwardly, but he couldn't help but take another look.
"Shopkeeper, this suit, take a set according to the size of this son, my wife is of the same figure as her. Tuoba Gu saw that Xiao Jiu liked it, and he had already commanded.
Xiao Jiu glared and focused on choosing men's clothing. I took a fancy to a set of moon-white caftans. Suddenly, it occurred to me that the prince liked it. Pouted. Changed into a dark gray coat.
Tuoba turned around a few times, did not choose men's clothes, and picked out a set of royal blue wide-sleeved jacket skirts. The appearance is simple and generous, but it is not luxurious, and there are some ethnic customs.
The two picked out their clothes and walked to the workshop. When I arrived in the front yard, I smelled the fragrance. Xiao Jiu, who didn't feel hungry in the morning, suddenly felt hungry and sleepy.
When I entered the front yard, I found that none of the people inside were Han. All of them are dressed in strange clothes, but they also look good.
Familiar with Tuoba Lone Statue. When they saw him come in, they cut the roasted leg of lamb and brought it to him. Xiao Jiu ate a piece, which was very delicious.
The two of them sat down and picked up the mutton with their bare hands and ate it. The shopkeeper was also happy to see that she didn't ask for utensils, and sent a stack of charcoal-baked chili noodles and sea salt to eat.
A stack of lamb was almost exhausted, and the shop put on a small stove with haggis stewed on it. I don't know if I add the fruit on it, there is no smell at all, and it is very refreshing.
I saw that she was eating happily. Tuoba Gucai said: "Xiao Jiu, let me take care of you in the future, okay? Come back to Ximan with me, be yourself, and make sure that no one will bully you." ”
Xiao Jiu's originally cheerful face gradually became gloomy, stirring the soup pot silently. He thought for a moment before he said.
"Tuoba Gu, I'm really not the person you're looking for. From childhood to adulthood, I remember all the people who were kind to me. I think you'll find her. ”
Tuoba Gu did not speak again. Xiao Jiu said again: "I have to ask you for something!"
"You say!"
Xiao Jiu thought about it, the matter was complicated, so he had to start from the beginning. "I have a brother named Muzi, and in order to distract the prince, he summoned his brothers to enter the city pretending to be refugees. Later, the news leaked. The prince was angry. ”
"You mean let me get him out?"
Xiao Jiu shook his head and nodded again. "Lord Ying said that he had been arranged to go to a safe place, but he didn't know what place it was. Now it seems that he will not care about small people like us. I want to beg you to help me find him. ”
Tuoba looked at her expression, and regretted not telling her that King Ying's spies were looking for her all over the world.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Jiu said again: "I'm not the person you're looking for, and I don't have much ability." If you're really interested in competing with me, I'm willing to do that. But you have to promise me to find Muzi and keep him safe. ”
Tuoba Gu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Okay! Xiao Jiu is what he says, but Muzi can make such a big move, he is a capable person, you don't have to worry too much." “
After a pause, he said, "After finding him, you will go to live in the West Barbarian." That's my territory, and no one will dare stop you if you want to walk sideways. ”
