As time passed, the Gao caravan became farther and farther away from Mingzhou City.

An hour later, the team stopped for breakfast.

Jiang Mi didn't realize until this time that she was patronizing and bringing money, and there was no food on her body. Of course, in fact, she can't bring food, she doesn't even have a mount alone, how many meals can she take?

When Jiang Mi saw others eating sweetly, she sat in the carriage and said nothing, as if she didn't know hunger. One of the stewards of Gao's convoy frowned and thought: These little boys dare to go out alone without knowing anything!

After thinking about it, he waved his hand and asked Jiang Mi to call him over.

Looking at the short boy standing in front of him, with low eyebrows and eyes, the old steward couldn't help but soften his heart, he coughed and asked, "Do you know how to cook?"

Jiang Mi nodded.

"Where's the stove?"

Jiang Mi nodded again.

"Then you can do a little more of these things. ”

Jiang Mi realized after a while that the old man was exchanging his labor for dry food. She nodded hurriedly and whispered, "Thank you grandpa." ”

I don't know which of Jiang Mi's words touched the old steward's heart, he sighed, reached out and patted Jiang Mi's shoulder, and said, "It's too late for you to go home now." With that, the old steward turned and walked away with his hands behind his back.

......

Cui Zhai.

Old Madam Cui was talking to a few middle-aged women in the wing room, when suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from outside. In the blink of an eye, the maid and servant who served Jiang Mi appeared at the door sweating profusely.

The two were about to speak, when they saw so many people in the room at a glance. He closed his mouth tightly again.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cui frowned, she waved her hand to let the irrelevant people retreat, leaving only Cui Ziying and the housekeeper and daughter-in-law who took care of the Cui family's old mansion, and Mrs. Cui asked the two, "What happened?"

A servant fell to his knees with a thud, and the servant said in a trembling voice, "Old lady, young lady is gone." ”

Almost as soon as the servant's words fell, Cui Ziying said urgently: "What do you mean by this?

The maidservant girl said in a hurry next to her: "Today, the young lady said as usual that she wanted to sit in the restaurant, and Xiao Wu and I followed. After the young lady arrived at the spring restaurant, she ordered the wing room on the second floor and let us wait outside. But we waited. I saw several batches of people coming in and out of the wing. The young lady has not yet come out. So he went and screamed. The young lady didn't answer, and the maid and Xiao Wu ran to the side room. But there is no young lady in the wing!"

The servant added on the side, "The wing room of the Kasuga Restaurant is a large room, separated by a human-high screen. We stood outside the door all the time, and we didn't see any woman like the young lady come out. ”

The servant did not finish his words. But all of you here are human spirits. I understood it at once. That Jiang's. I was afraid that she still knew how to disguise, and then she left from under their noses with a hand of disguise.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

Old Madam Cui stretched out her hand to support her forehead. Seeing how tired she was all of a sudden. Cui Ziying hurriedly ran over and helped Mrs. Cui.

After shaking her head, Old Madam Cui spoke, and she ordered: "Check the number of people who came out of the wing room of the Spring Restaurant during that time period and their identities and appearances, and pursue them one by one!"

"Yes. ”

"Send someone to do it immediately, don't let the news go!"

"Yes. ”

After giving two orders in a row, Old Madam Cui didn't have the energy to deal with the servants and servants, and after waving her hand to let them go down, Old Madam Cui was dizzy for a while.

Next to her, Cui Ziying saw that her grandmother was so angry, her pretty face turned purple, and she said hatefully: "If you come out of a small family, you can't get on the stage! When is it now, she doesn't know how to take care of the family's face and her brother's hard work......

Old Madam Cui waved her hand, and after she made Cui Ziying shut her mouth, she whispered: "This Jiang family is of great significance to Xuan'er, no matter what, you have to find it back!" Ziying, you go down and arrange it yourself." ”

"Yes. ”

As soon as Cui Ziying left, Mrs. Cui leaned on the couch and closed her eyes.

On one side, Mrs. Cui Wu, who has one of the most important daughters-in-law among the Cui family, spoke, and she said, "Mother, the fact that the Jiang family is blessed is not a lie...... It's probably not a good thing for her to get lost at this juncture. ”

After a while, Mrs. Cui Wu asked, "What happened?"

Old Madam Cui said tiredly: "She knows that Zixuan is going to accept the concubines of the six sects as concubines in three months. ”

Mrs. Cui Wu sighed and couldn't help but say: "Ziying is right, if you come out of a small family, you just won't take care of the overall situation!"

Old Madam Cui was really tired, and after a while, when the dizziness stopped for a while, she ordered in a low voice: "What about the three servant women brought by the Jiang family, call them over!"

"Yes!"

Cui Ziying had just walked out of her grandmother's room when she saw Cui Zixuan entering the house surrounded by all the sons.

Looking at her handsome and dazzling brother like a god in the sun, and looking at her brother's radiant spirit, Cui Ziying's heart was uncomfortable for a while.

On the other side, Cui Zixuan saw his sister from a distance, and saw that she did not rush to himself like before to talk and laugh, but rather gloomy between her eyebrows. At that moment, Cui Zixuan turned his head and said to the sons, and after letting them disperse, Cui Zixuan strode towards his sister.

After a while, Cui Zixuan came to Cui Ziying. Lowering his head, Cui Zixuan looked at his sister and asked softly, "What happened?"

Cui Ziying looked up at her brother.

After a while, Cui Ziying bit her lip, and she whispered, "Brother, don't be angry about one thing. ”

The smile on Cui Zixuan's face slowly disappeared, he looked at his sister calmly, and said in a deep voice: "Well, you can say it." ”

Cui Zixuan said in a low voice: "Jiang, the missing ......"

Cui Zixuan took a while to understand the meaning of his sister's words.

Cui Ziying glanced at her brother, bit her lip and continued: "She disappeared by herself, and the servants who followed said that they had been guarding outside the wing room, and only found out that she had disappeared after seeing that Jiang had not come out. Brother, she changed her face and left from under the noses of her subordinates!"

Speaking of which. Cui Ziying looked at Cui Zixuan again.

Cui Zixuan's face was pale and pale, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out!

Cui Ziying became more and more uncomfortable, she glanced back, and said, "Hey, aren't those three people from Jiang's side?" Brother, you quickly call them over and ask." As soon as the voice fell, Cui Ziying had already shouted to the three mothers, "Come here." ”

The three mothers had just walked out of Mrs. Cui's yard, and their faces were pale at this time, and when they saw Cui Zixuan, they showed an expression of shame and annoyance at the same time.

They stood still. Cui Zixuan spoke. He asked word by word in a hoarse voice, "What the hell is going on?"

The three mothers fell to their knees with a thud. Facing her aunt's cold face, Mother Li said ashamedly: "It's all the old slave who is not good, the princess can't eat or sleep these days, and the old slave always thinks that she will slowly figure it out." and there was no persuasion. ”

Gui's mother was also in pain. She choked up and said, "The old slave also noticed that the princess's expression was wrong. But the old slave just thought, which woman won't go this way? The princess was a little squeamish, and if the old slaves followed her to comfort her, they were afraid that she would be even more squeamish. So the old slave just pressed her with a big reason. ”

Mother Gong was even more painful, she said with a white face and trembling voice: "After hearing that my uncle wanted to take a concubine, the princess was very painful. It's all the old slave's fault, knowing that my aunt left on the wedding night, and I left for a few days, the princess looked forward to it, and she didn't even look forward to her uncle's shadow when she heard that her uncle wanted to take a concubine. And those noble concubines are more noble than princesses. Of course, the princess can't think about it, this is the old slave's negligence, the old slave regrets it, the old slave regrets it!" she kept pounding her chest as she spoke!

Cui Ziying was a little angry, she was about to scold, but when she saw her brother's expression, she swallowed back the words.

Cui Zixuan's face was very ugly.

He stood with a pale face for a while, and after a while, Cui Zixuan spoke coldly, "Don't worry, she won't go far!"

As soon as Cui Zixuan's words came out, the three mothers looked up at the same time.

Cui Ziying has always been a god to this brother, and was the first to ask excitedly: "Really, why did my brother say that?"

Cui Zixuan didn't have a smile on his face, he said coldly: "She has been pampered for many years and can't even ride a horse, let alone relatives and friends, where can she go?"

The three mothers glanced at each other, but they were still panicked, only Cui Ziying nodded frequently when she heard this, and said repeatedly: "It's too." People like us, who are used to being served by people even dressing and eating, how will I get used to it when I get outside? ”

......

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

The caravan had already found a place to camp, and Jiang Mi was busy building stoves and boiling water, and he was so tired that his little face was black and white. The black ones are naturally the gray ones of the pot stove, and the white ones are the ones that she can't eat and sleep well these days, and she gives them nothing.

Shao Xiaozi saw Jiang Mi busy and hurriedly ran over to give her a hand. But he didn't know anything, the stove was hit by a stone, and the boiling water was scalded to his feet by hot water, and he was always helping out.

In desperation, Jiang Mi had to beg him not to do anything, just follow her.

Shao Xiaozi was also a little embarrassed at this time, after he ran a few laps behind Jiang Mi's buttocks, he saw Jiang Mi sweating profusely, he suddenly said, "Brother Xu, you also ran away from home, right?"

Jiang Mi, who was choosing wild vegetables, stiffened.

After a while, Jiang Mi picked up the dish again, and she whispered while she was busy: "You said a word, are you also running away from home?"

Shao Xiaozi said, "I'm going to find my brother." He said happily: "They said that my brother came to Suzhou, and I missed him." ”

Jiang Mi asked without a word, "Did your brother use to work outside?"

"Not really. He was a petty official under General Zhao of the Later Zhou Dynasty. ”

Jiang Mi let out an "oh".

On one side, Shao Xiaozi looked at Jiang Mi's increasingly pale face, and couldn't help worrying, he persuaded: "Seeing that you are also pampered like this, if you can go home, I advise you to go home." ”

Jiang Mi put away the vegetables she had chosen and walked towards the river not far away, and said in a dumb voice to Shao Xiaozi, who was following behind, "You don't understand, I think it's good to be like this now." Only when she is constantly busy and tired, she has no time to think nonsense, and her heart will not be so painful!

......

Cui Zixuan stood in the study.

The study was a mess, littered with smashed porcelain. A few sweaty guards had just rushed to the threshold, and under the flickering candle flame, their own Langjun's face was stiff.

After a while, those guards still stepped into the study in small steps, saluted Cui Zixuan, and one of them bowed his head and said, "If you go back to Gongzi, the restaurant on East Street has also been found, but the young lady has not been found." ”

As soon as this person's voice fell, with a "snap", Cui Zixuan picked up the teacup on one side and smashed it on the ground!

Several of the guards shuddered.

At this moment, Cui Zixuan forcibly shouted angrily, "Exit!"

As if pardoned, several of the guards ran and crawled out.

As soon as they retreated, Cui Zixuan sat on the couch and gasped.

Wheezing and wheezing, he grinded his teeth in hatred. Under the candlelight, his face was blue and black, and it was really hard to see the extreme.

After a while, several guards heard a low roar from the study, and then, their always personable Lang Jun grinded his teeth and angrily voiced, "Jiang Mi! Jiang Mi! You have so much courage! This is not a peaceful and prosperous world! You, you still don't have anyone!"

He was so angry that he stretched out his sleeves and flicked it, and there was a clanging and thumping sound of porcelain cracking!

As soon as Cui Ziying entered the door, she saw such a brother.

She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before stepping forward. When she came to her brother, Cui Ziying begged in a soft voice: "Brother, you haven't eaten all this time, eat something to fill your stomach." ”

Cui Zixuan glanced at her. After a while, Cui Zixuan said in a hoarse voice, "Grandmother, can you rest?"

Cui Ziying shook her head, "Not yet." In the blink of an eye, she said, "Grandmother's head wind has been committed again." As she spoke, she glanced at her brother.

Cui Zixuan knew why his grandmother had a headache, and after a while, Cui Zixuan's low voice came, "You said that since the Jiang family doesn't want to...... Why did she ......" just said this, Cui Zixuan immediately realized that his words were really redundant, so he fell silent.

After the two siblings were silent for a moment, Cui Ziying was agitated, she looked up at Cui Zixuan and begged again: "Brother, you can eat something." ”

Cui Zixuan shook his head, he stood up expressionlessly, and after drawing his sword from the ground, Cui Zixuan walked out of the door and ordered in a dumb voice to the guards outside: "Since there is no one in the city, it is out of the city." Gather all the people, go out from the four cities of the south, east, west, and north, and search for merchants and pedestrians within thirty miles along the way!"

"Yes!"

Cui Zixuan closed his eyes heavily, and said again after a while: "The young lady can change her face, and all men and women with similar body types can't let go!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Cui Zixuan walking away, Cui Ziying hurriedly ran out and grabbed her brother's sleeve, she said urgently: "Brother! This matter can't be leaked out!" She rushed to Cui Zixuan's front to stop him, and said: "Brother, no matter how tight the tone is, the matter will not be able to contain the wind if the matter is so big, where is your face?"

Cui Zixuan suddenly looked down at his sister.

After staring at Cui Ziying for a while, Cui Zixuan gasped and said, "It's not that you don't know how chaotic it is outside...... The more she stays outside, the more dangerous it will be!" Speaking of this, the green tendons on Cui Zixuan's forehead jumped a few times, grinding his teeth, and he ordered: "Go!"
