Chapter 176: Circus Class
At this time, in Tianyang City, there was a news widely circulated: the missing Princess Qingning was the real Tianyang Goddess.
Li Anyue showed the face of a fairy at the state banquet, and the matter of riding on the back of the elephant was also passed on to ten, ten to hundred, but it completely lost its original appearance, and became Li Anyue's body glowed with strange brilliance, revealing the original form of the goddess, and then gave an order to the divine beast, and at this time the elephant seemed to understand, obediently kneeling, Li Anyue sat on the back of the elephant, and at this time colorful birds flew in the sky, flying around Li Anyue.
As a result, the rumors of the former goddess have gradually been forgotten, and people believe in the legendary goddess even more.
At this time, two figures hurriedly entered the Qingning Palace, the two of them were dressed ordinarily, but they were not stopped by the guards at the door. As soon as the two entered, Qinghong greeted them, "Two seniors, the prince is waiting for you here, please come with me." ”
It turned out that this was Lin Yuanqing and Jin Susu.
The two entered the hall, and Shenyue Haoqing walked over when he saw them coming in, "What news do you have from the two seniors?" ”
"That's right, the old man just wants to tell the prince the news he just got, but how does the prince know that the two of us have news?"
Originally, Shenyue Haoqing was bothered by Li Anyue's affairs, but he was informed that Lin Yuanqing and Jin Susu left without saying hello, and they knew in their hearts that the two of them must have gone to find Li Anyue's news, and when they saw them come in, they knew that they must have found something.
"Yue'er was tied up in Taoli Town."
"Taoli Town? Is Yue'er okay now? Shenyue Haoqing's heart hung as soon as he heard it.
"When the news came, he only said that he had passed out, and there should be no danger to his life."
Shenyue Haoqing clenched his hands tightly, "How did the two seniors know about this?" Can you tell me more about that? ”
It turned out that Lin Yuanqing and Jin Susu decided to go to their friends in the past to help after learning the news of Li Anyue's disappearance that day, and the most widely known in the world is not the imperial court or the people in the martial arts, but the beggars who will exist whenever and wherever they are, but they are not ordinary beggars, but the largest organization formed - the beggar gang. They make a living by begging, but they don't just beg, the beggars are also organized and disciplined gangs.
Lin Yuanqing and Jin Susu specially drilled into the pile of the poor, and soon found the person with the lucky bag on his back, and the two said that they were looking for the leader of their gang, and reported the name they used in the rivers and lakes back then. Of course, those people didn't believe them right away, and after letting the two of them stop, they went back to report to them.
Wu Qiao, the ninth elder who was still in the capital, was the former leader of the beggar gang, and later retired, and Lin Yuanqing was also an old acquaintance, and the two often learned martial arts from each other when they were young, and when they heard that he was coming, they hurriedly came out and took the two in.
After a long reminiscence, Lin Yuanqing hurriedly said his intention, and Wu Qiao did not shirk it, asked for Li Anyue's portrait and passed the news to all parts of Tianyang Kingdom, so that the local beggar disciples paid attention to strange people. So when Yuan Baoer saw Li Anyue, they sent the news back as soon as possible.
Shenyue Haoqing's expression was awe-inspiring, "Then I'll go to Taoli Town, I don't know how to contact the people of the beggar gang in Taoli Town?" ”
"As long as the prince arrives under the big tree at the city gate and sees a begging man, he asks him, 'Have the pigeons fattened this year?' and the man will answer, 'There are no pigeons, it is delicious to call the flower chicken', and then as long as the prince explains his intentions, he will naturally take the prince to find the leader."
"Okay, I got it." Shenyue Haoqing nodded, and went to instruct Qinghong to prepare the horse, but the black eagle walked in at this time.
"Lord, the word from the palace is for you to go over now."
"Okay, got it." Shenyue Haoqing paused for a moment, then nodded, and went to the palace first.
The Chengde Hall was still brightly lit at this time, and when Shenyue Cangting saw Shenyue Haoqing coming in, he signaled Wu Yong to go out first and guard. Shenyue Haoqing walked over and saw the white cloth on the table.
"Father, the results of the inspection have come out?"
"That's right. The Weaving Bureau reported that these silk threads are Tianyan silk, which is a specialty of Qi State, and it seems that this matter is indeed inseparable from Qi State, and there is a more important point. Shenyue Cangting said as he picked up one of the golden silk threads.
"What?"
"This gold thread is a special gold thread in the palace, and the people are not allowed to use it, so it seems that there must be people in the palace who are also involved in this matter."
Shenyue Haoqing nodded, "The ministers have known about this matter for a long time. ”
"Oh? How do you know? ”
"Father still remember the note that the son gave you, that paper was found in the Liuhua Palace, but as soon as you touch the paper, you can feel that it is thicker than ordinary paper, if you pay attention to it, you can notice that the bottom of the paper is embossed, which is a unique seal of the palace, so that you can know that the person who wrote the note must have written it in the palace, but it is not excluded that it was taken secretly, so the son asked his father to send someone to the handwriting, but now you should be able to know who it is without comparison."
Shenyue Cangting's face was a little serious, "In this case, many things may happen earlier." ”
"Father, rest assured, Erchen has made arrangements, but Erchen has just received news about Yue'er, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back in a day or two."
Almost an hour later, Shenyue Haoqing walked out of the palace, and the black eagle was already waiting there with his horse, "The subordinates and the prince will go together." ”
Shenyue Haoqing nodded, and the two of them rode in the direction of Taoli Town.
On the other side, Li Anyue originally passed out on the side of the road, but not long after Huo Dong returned, he happened to bump into the circus troupe that was rushing overnight, one of them was tripped by Li Anyue's outstretched hand when he walked, and was frightened.
Li Anyue felt a bitterness in her mouth, so she frowned and opened her eyes, only felt a pain in her chest, and couldn't help coughing, and a little girl next to her who was dozing off was awakened by her movement, and when she saw that she was awake, she immediately walked towards her.
"Don't get up, you've got a wound, you have to lie down and rest."
Li Anyue looked at her, the little girl looked like she was only seven or eight years old, with two pigtails tied on her head, her face was a little sallow, she knew that she was malnourished at a glance, Li Anyue supported herself with some difficulty, and looked around, this was a simple tent set up, the cloth under it was not long enough, and it was still exposed to the wind, Li Anyue was put on the bed made of straw, "Who are you?" What is this place? How could I be here? ”
"Don't worry, you lie down first, I'll explain to you." The little girl said and helped Li Anyue to lie down again, Li Anyue looked at her harmlessly, and lay down as she said.
When the little girl saw that she was lying down, she spoke, "My name is girl, this is in the wild, and we will stay here for one night." When we passed through the town, we found you lying in the grass, and the owner had you carried you up. ”
"Class master? Who is the class leader? Li Anyue asked strangely.
"The class master is the class master." The girl replied as a matter of course.
Li Anyue thought for a moment, "I mean, who is the class master, is his name the class master?" ”
"No, it's just that we all call him class master, I remind you, leave as soon as you're well, class master......"
"Girl!" At this time, a man's voice came from outside the tent, and the girl was like a frightened deer, and she stood up all of a sudden, and stood obediently to the side, at this time a middle-aged man lifted the curtain and walked in, "Girl, why don't you say something when the girl wakes up?" ”
"Class master, the girl has just woken up, and she hasn't had time to ...... yet" The girl looked very afraid of the person in front of her, who was called the class master, and shrank aside when she replied.
The middle-aged man didn't continue to look at her, turned to Li Anyue and asked, "How does the girl feel?" ”
Li Anyue had already sat up at this time, so she nodded at him, "Thank you for saving your life." ”
"Girl, don't call me that, my name is Li Shengcai, and the class leaders are all called by people in the circus class, I don't know what to call the girl?"
Li Anyue lowered her eyes and said, "My name is An Yue." ”
"Then Li called the girl Miss An, I don't know why Miss An fell on the side of the road, and she was still injured?"
"I, I'm because ......" Li Anyue hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Li Shengcai looked at her and thought that she had a last resort, so he hurriedly waved his hand, "If the girl doesn't want to say it, you don't need to say it, and the girl is not a bad person, Li is just a little curious." ”
"No, it's not, it's not that there is no reason to say, it's just that it's really scary, and it's just a little scary to think about. Truth be told, I escaped. ”
"Escaped?" Li Shengcai was a little stunned, but instead comforted her, "Miss An, don't worry, you are safe now." ”
Li Anyue looked at him gratefully as if he was encouraged at this time, and said casually, "Actually, I am ...... I escaped because I was forced to marry, my husband's family treated me badly, I was beaten and scolded all day long, and today I was going to sell me to the Qinglou to ask for wine money, I really couldn't stand it and escaped, but I was chased by them all the way, and I fell on the side of the road due to lack of strength, but fortunately I was rescued by the master of the Li class. ”
