"Ah, Overseer?" The two of them were startled, Huo An hurriedly cleaned up Qin Slow, dragged the person to the door with a drag, and whispered, "Be flexible, pick up some of the things that the Overseer likes to hear, don't be okay with the pestle there like a log, you know?" ”

After getting along for a while, Huo An has become Qin Slow's own family member and loyal confidant. No slave doesn't think about his master's good, Qin Slow is really not enlightened, he feels that he has the obligation to remind her.

Qin slowly lowered his head and kicked his toes, and replied: "Oh~"

Then the person was pushed out by Huo An, and she thought to herself what the overseer and his old man liked to hear. It seems that every time I talk to Yongque, the result is often unsatisfactory.

In the morning, the clouds are smeared red by the morning sun, an auspicious cloud rises in the east, and the begonia of Xifu under the eaves is delicate, stained with the dew condensed in the night, fresh and pleasant. Yongque stood in front of the begonia, with one hand in the crook of his arm, and a silver spoon in the other hand to tease the birds in the cage.

He was still wearing last night's silver robe, but he was only loosely held by a long hairpin, and the hairpin was engraved with a half-opened green lotus, as if he was a leader who had just stepped on the wind and rain. He heard the noise, but he didn't look back, and plucked the bird's food: "Didn't sleep well last night, and woke up so late?" ”

The tone was light, not like a question, but more like a casual greeting

Huo An shrank behind the door and stabbed Qin Slow's waist hard, and she flattened her mouth: "Overseer, morning." ”

Yongque hummed, put down the silver spoon, and when he looked back, he picked the corner of his eye, and looked at it slightly, but he was not much surprised: "Well, this looks like a normal girl's home." ”

He has a very critical eye, and it has always been difficult to come up with nice words in his mouth, and this sentence is already a good compliment. Qin Wan was distressed by the constraints of layers of clothes, and she didn't sleep well, so her interest was not very high, and she nodded sullenly: "Oh......"

Since the play has begun, there is no reason not to act. Yongque's actions have always represented the emperor's providence and the direction of the court's situation, even if such a big thing happened in the palace, the next day after the extermination of the mountain bandits, the Huiwang Mansion still had a grand banquet early in the morning to entertain this eunuch and his relatives.

"Ah Yu's life and death are unknown, this king is anxious to find her, and he is slow to wait for the overseer and his wife." Xiao Ling, the king of Hui, picked up the wine glass, and almost didn't sleep all night, which made the gray look on his face more and more obvious, and he was also weak when he spoke, "Since the overseer and his wife have come to Huizhou, they are the distinguished guests of my Huiwang Mansion, but if there is a need, they will fly down." ”

Yongque hurriedly got up and raised his hand to drink: "The prince is loved, and the ministers are afraid." ”

From yesterday to now, Qin Slow has eaten a total of black-flour steamed buns, and at this moment, she is so hungry that she scratches her heart when she is hungry for a table of delicacies, and when she waits for the end of the greetings, she suddenly has a heartache in her toes. As soon as she took a breath and woke up, King Hui of the upper seat was casting an inquiring look, Yongque on her side was still standing upright, she blinked and reacted and stood up with Yongque in a panic, and learned to use Yongque's hands to serve the lamp in style: "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

Xiao Ling glanced at her, smiling helplessly and apologetically: "Mrs. was tired last night, I shouldn't have bothered Mrs. today, I just ......"

Yongque said solemnly, "The princess still doesn't know her safety, how can the minister sit back and relax?" The prince is relieved, the matter has happened, and the minister should do his best to find the whereabouts of the princess. ”

"Thank you, Lord, then."

Qin slowly looked at Xiao Ling and then at Yongque, and then at the golden cup in his hand, hesitated for a moment and slowly took a sip, the spicy smell of wine suddenly choked her tears, attracting the two of them to look sideways.

Yongque patted her back understandingly, shook his head and smiled at King Hui: "I have never been strong enough to drink, and I lost my honor in front of the prince." ”

Xiao Ling, who had just stood up, watched Qin slowly sit back again, and he smiled for a while: "Women inevitably drink shallowly, so don't get drunk or don't get wet, it's not good if you hurt your body." ”

said that it was a banquet, but Xiao Ling's spirit was really poor, and after sitting for a while, Yongque saw that he was tired, and offered to ask him to rest first: "The princess's affairs will be handed over to the ministers, and I will give the prince an explanation." ”

When it came to the end, most of the troubled waters had flowed through this trip, and he simply flowed to the end, and it was not in vain that he spent a lot of effort just to sell Haihui King his favor.

Xiao Ling had more than enough heart but not enough strength, and apologized repeatedly, Fang retreated under the support of the servants, and before leaving, he paused in front of Qin Slow, and said softly: "Later, I will ask Fuzhong Langzhong to send some hangover soup, and it will feel better to drink it." ”

Before Qin Wan could return the salute and say thank you, King Hui had already left with the support of his attendants.

Yongque also followed her gaze, and he should have been a high-spirited and heroic man who pointed out the country, but he showed his lack of age early. Could it be that it is true that as the world says, wisdom will be hurt, and love will not live? He said in his heart, and shook his head with a smile, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the heavenly family, the most unbelievable thing is a love word. King Haihui lives in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, but his fiancée is thousands of miles away in the southwest of Shu, the two have not met several times since they got married, where is the deep love and which is not longevity?

It's all drama routines according to the script, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, each has its own ghost fetus, King Hui is, and so do they.

After the banquet was dispersed, Yongque clutched his cuffs and said: "It was not too early to toss yesterday, let you have a day of leisure today, and you don't have to follow me anymore." ”

Qin Slow didn't leave, his toes rubbed on the ground: "The Overseer, but you want to go up the mountain again to explore the cottage?" ”

The brain spins fast! Yongque glanced at her: "What's the matter, you want to go too?" ”

Qin nodded slowly.

Yongque groaned and didn't speak, Qin Que waited beside him, and after a while, he reluctantly nodded in agreement: "Since you are begging for our family, I am not unreasonable." He glanced at the cumbersome clothes on her body, and knew in his heart, "Go, change into light clothes, take Huo An, and wait at the west gate of the palace in a moment." ”

"Hey! Okay! She replied crisply.

He watched Qin slowly leave happily, and his steps were much lighter than the usual turtle-like friction, what did Xiao Ling's words mean before leaving the table?

┉┉∞∞┉┉┉┉∞∞┉┉┉

Qingyang County is not far from Huizhou City, a distance of more than ten miles, if you ride a horse, it will take a while. The carriage with Qin was slower, but at noon, the Yongque people returned to the cottage by the same road. The poisonous snakes in the trap in front of the gate have been cleaned up, and the swords in ambush are still inserted, reflecting the dazzling sunlight, like cold tombstones.

The village was empty, and even the chickens that Qin Slow fed were nowhere to be seen, and they disappeared cleanly, Qin Slow looked around and didn't see them, and muttered: "It seems that they have been prepared for a long time." ”

"What did you prepare?" Yongque asked.

She pointed to the empty paddy field: "I used to feed a few chickens there. ”

"......" Lu Cun and the others looked at each other strangely, but Huo An was more familiar with her and bolder, and echoed, "Yes, the girl has fed chickens here, and has hugged dogs and touched sheep, so ...... And how? ”

Others didn't understand, Yongque immediately understood, even chickens and dogs and other things had time to take away, obviously the other party evacuated in an orderly manner, and maybe even those women, children and children were not the families of the bandits in the village at all, just a smoke to hide people's eyes and ears and confuse people.

From the robbery of Princess Hui to the arrest of Qin Slow, and finally to the suppression of the bandit village, this is all a bureau set up by the other party, and it is not so much aimed at King Hui as Yongque him.

Now people are generously suing you, I am leading you into the game, is it to enter or not to enter? Yongque actually didn't think about choosing in the past, Princess Hui must find it, and here is the only clue, even if the sword mountain and sea of fire ahead, you can only know the success or failure of life and death if you break through.

Qin Slow obviously thought of it with him, and she sucked her lips: "Overseer, why don't we think about it in the long run?" ”

Yongque looked at the sky with his hand: "It's all here, if we don't find some clues, how can our family explain to King Hui?" He squinted, "What's the matter, you're scared?" ”

She sighed unabashedly: "I am not only afraid of snakes, but also of death. ”

He comforted lightly and insincerely: "Life and death are fate, look at the point." ”

"Woo......"

The huge bandit village was turned upside down by the Jinyi Guard, and even places like the rice tank basin were opened and searched one by one, and the result was the same as the previous night, and nothing was found.

Huo An and Qin Slow, two useless people who had no power to restrain chickens, could only sit under the big tree on the rice field and watch the figures fly around, turning out a wave of dust, diffusing in the sun. Huo An took out a square handkerchief and handed it to Qin Slow: "Madam, cover your mouth and nose carefully, suck the ashes and choke your throat." ”

Qin slowly thanked him renounously, folded the handkerchief three times and covered his mouth tightly, and a slow and muffled voice came from behind the handkerchief: "Those children are quite fun......

"......" Huo An didn't know where to start, in just one day, just because you were so busy here, the little bandit leaders called you aunt!

"Alas......" Qin slowly looked at the grinding table in the rice field again, "Actually, the black flour steamed buns are also quite delicious, and they are quite fragrant to chew......"

This master looks like he is in a hurry to swallow slowly and can't catch up all day, and he mentions that he can only lift up his spirit when he eats, and your eyes are brighter than usual! Huo An thought in his heart, and Qin slowly sighed beside him: "Huo Xiaogong, when it comes to eating, I'm hungry......"

"......," Huo An thought, "too, this south is different from our north, and we eat heartily in the morning. But this King Haihui is also not at the edge, but anyone who is tired of a table of meat early in the morning has to lose his appetite. He grumbled and stood up, "Fortunately, the minion thought of it, and brought you some fragrant things in the carriage, you wait, and the minion will bring it to you." ”

Yongque, who was strolling leisurely, glanced at the two people squatting under the old tree from time to time, and when he saw Qin Slow's listless appearance, he thought that he was either sleepy or hungry. This girl is thin and small, and the amount of food in one meal is not large, but she is like a cat, she does not eat much at a time, but she has to eat several meals a day.

No, as soon as he saw Huo An trotting over, Yongque asked slowly and knowingly, "What's wrong with Madame?" ”

Huo An bowed: "Madame didn't eat much at the banquet earlier, and her stomach was smoked by the smell of wine, and at this time the stomach was burning with fire and uncomfortable, so the servant came over to fetch her some snacks to fill in." ”

That's it! Yongque's eyes were still looking straight ahead, and he bowed his head proudly in agreement.

Huo An took two steps back with a smile, and when he took two steps back, his ankles were numb, his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground with a puff, and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, so it didn't hurt.

He fell unfortunately, and his head just rubbed the corner of the grinding table next to him with a long red mark, but fortunately, he didn't pull out his mouth and didn't see red. But before he touched it, it was a hot pain, but it could throw all his internal organs out of place!

Such a big movement had already attracted Yongque's attention, and he shook his head after a glance, and said casually: "Be careful." ”

"Yes, yes, the minion is reckless." Huo An hurriedly got up, only halfway through the climb to the other ankle, this time he really couldn't climb up if he wanted to.

He fell to the ground, feeling miserable and painful, and the sparks were sparkling in front of his eyes, and he wanted to smash the damn mill in half.

Huo An angrily propped up and got up dizzy, didn't look up and almost hit the mill again, but fortunately he was quick to avoid it, this avoidance he said "hey", covered his forehead and leaned over to take a closer look, not quite sure: "Is this a carved word?" ”

shouted out in a loud voice, Yongque turned around, Huo An grabbed his eyebrows and looked left and right, pointed to the bottom of the mill and said, "Overseer, there is really a word in this...... However, the minions don't know much. ”

The grinding table is half a person high, and the place where the inscription is engraved is very low, and he has to be prostrate on the ground to see it with Yongque's stature, but how can he condescend to be so noble with his identity.

"It's not a word, it's a coat of arms."

There was no need for him to bend over, Qin Slow, who was still under the big tree just now, squatted beside Huo An at some point, and with her height and low age, she could just see the "words" on the grinding table, and her eyes widened to observe it and she was sure: "It's carved as a mulberry leaf." ”

"Mulberry leaves?" Huo An was confused, and naturally thought, "Well, it's those in the stockade."

"......No," Qin described slowly, "Look at this mulberry leaf, it seems to be simple with a few strokes, but each stroke is three points into the wood, and the knife is coherent and smooth, which is definitely not done by ordinary children." ”

Huo An didn't care about the pain, looked at it seriously, and exclaimed: "It's really as Madam said!" It's a mulberry leaf! He scratched his head and wrinkled his face, "It's just that the shape is too weird for the minions to see." ”

Sang Tong mourned, and it was a leaf again...... "Ghost hand Ye Qing's handwriting?" Yongque's eyes turned slightly, "Lu Cun? ”

In this river and lake, there are countless capable people like carp crossing the river, but when it comes to carving knife techniques, no one in the entire rivers and lakes can come out of Ye Qing's right. Like most hermitage masters, his temper is strange and smelly, and the "medical saint" Ren Zhongping can be regarded as reasonable and approachable compared to him.

If he is willing, he will not charge a penny to build a mountain, carve a bridge, and even carve a palace with his own hands; And if he is unwilling, even if you offer a mountain of gold and half of the treasury, you will not even move a sword.

"No one has seen him for a long time." Lu Cun studied under the Songshan faction before entering the East Factory, and since then he has often been in contact with the rivers and lakes, "The grapevine said that he went to the Bada Mountains many years ago to collect wind and fell to his death, but Bai Xiaosheng did not have any exact news. ”

Qin Slow stretched out his hand and stroked it back and forth, and said, "The nick is very deep and the mark is clear, and it won't be long before it is engraved." ”

"Ghost hand Ye Qing has made a stone grinding ...... here" Yongque walked around the grinding platform for half a circle, and looked at Qin Slow with flirtatious eyes, "You told me before, if there is a second path in the mountain, it is a secret path on the ground?" ”

Qin sighed slowly, as if he had just remembered: "Yes, that's right, the overseer is wise!" Wise! ”

In terms of the ability to pretend to be stupid, the person in front of him is really unmatched, Yongque glanced at her, and Qin slowly smiled at him with innocent eyes. Tsk, it's still good.

Yongque didn't accept her well-behavedness, stared at the grinding table for a long time, and his palm suddenly swept quickly on the stone surface, bringing out a piece of confused dust: "Bring water......" He paused, "Bring ink." ”

Fortunately, his subordinates knew that this factory official was busy with affairs and had pen, ink, paper and inkstone ready at any time, but it was a pity that the good Songshan inkstone was mixed with water and splashed on the stone surface.

The water meandered along the stone face into several streams, each spreading out and falling in a stream. At the same time, on the stone surface, a few wisps of lines gradually became clear in people's vision.

"This is ......" Huo An carefully observed for a long time, looking up and down, left and right, but he couldn't see what those strange and intertwined lines expressed. He secretly spied on the expressions of Xia Yongque and Qin Slow, one of his long fingers touched the stone face and was silent, while the other looked at the stone face with a blank face......

He swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to disturb the two masters.

It is said that the ghost hand Ye Qing gave birth to a whimsical brain, and the carved objects in his pen either look like fairies, like fairyland, or Senluo Hell, evil ghosts and cannibals. Seeing it with his own eyes today, Huo An was secretly ashamed and admired his own governor and wife, but he didn't see anything at all except the ghost drawing talisman!

Yongque, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly asked, "What is this?" ”

Huo An almost choked on his own saliva.

Realizing that it was he who was asking, Qin slowly raised his head and looked at Yongque, and then looked down at the stone face: "Uh...... Ghost Drawing? ”

Huo An was really choked on saliva this time.

Yongque Huo Ran laughed cheerfully: "It is indeed a ghost painting talisman, and the Western Regions Suluo Kingdom once paid tribute to a picture of a hundred ghosts at night. They are different from our dynasty, they regard ghosts as their respect, hell as their beauty, and believe in the Yama ghost king, hoping to have a good reincarnation after death. Hence ......"

Qin slowly subconsciously continued: "So this is the text of the Suo Luo Kingdom? ”

Yongque bowed: "It's just that the order is disorganized, and it looks disorganized, so that our family didn't see it for a while." ”

"So the Overseer knows Solowan?" Qin said in surprise.

"In the past, in order to welcome the courtiers of the Suluo Kingdom for the first emperor, I practiced some of them," Yongque ordered someone to sweep away the excess ink, "It seems that what is recorded above is the ingenuity of opening the secret passage." ”
