"Uncle's injury is no longer a big problem, he just needs to recuperate for a while."

Doctor Yan gave Qi Jinzhi a detailed examination, and then said with relief: "Thanks to the few pills brought by the eldest grandmother, the poison was detoxified by mistake, and the wound was treated in a timely manner, so the poison did not spread." ”

Dr. Yan Lala said a lot of miscellaneous things, but there was only one point, that is, Qi Jinzhi was able to come back with all his beard and tail, thanks to Gu Jialuo and the people she brought with her for timely treatment.

Qi Jin's heart was very clear, but he didn't say anything, some things were just clear in his heart, and there was no need to resort to words.

Gu Jialuo didn't care about these at all, she only cared about one thing: "Doctor Yan, is the uncle really okay?" "It is quite hateful to ask such a thing to a doctor, but Gu Jialuo can only ask repeatedly for the sake of peace of mind.

Doctor Yan knew that Gu Jialuo was 'concerned and chaotic', so he didn't bother with her, but repeatedly assured him with an unusually good temper: "Uncle will recuperate for a while, supplemented by a diet that nourishes blood and qi, and it won't take long for him to return to normal." ”

Qi Jinzhi's injuries can be controlled so well, in addition to Gu Jialuo's timely arrival, the more important thing is that Qi Jinzhi's foundation is good, he is young, and he has practiced martial arts all year round, and his body is not ordinary strong.

As soon as Gu Jialuo heard this, he hurriedly chased after Dr. Yan and asked some medicinal recipes suitable for Qi Jinzhi, as well as dietary taboos.

Seeing that Gu Jialuo was asking carefully, Doctor Yan thought about it, and simply made a list and wrote down all the precautions.

Gu Jialuo took the list and went to the kitchen, not caring about any rest at all.

“…… Grandma is a good, good woman! ”

Looking at Gu Jialuo's back in a hurry. Qi Dayong couldn't help but praise it. The hatred and disgust for Gu Jialuo because he heard that Gu Jialuo Hongxing was out of the wall have long since turned into smoke.

Since leaving the capital, Qi Dayong's perception of Gu Jialuo has been constantly refreshing. Now the admiration and respect for her has reached its peak.

Sometimes Qi Dayong even secretly thinks that the incident with the eldest grandmother must have something else hidden, and all the qiē may be a shameless trick that Dong Qi came up to frame the eldest grandmother.

Just imagine, how can a woman like a grandmother who really puts her husband at the top of her heart be a watery poplar and a slut?!

Qi Jinzhi nodded slowly, obviously agreeing with Qi Dayong's words from the bottom of his heart.

The master and servant looked at Gu Jialuo's back for a while, but Qi Jinzhi came back to his senses first. Shen Sheng asked, "How is Zheng Biao's investigation?" ”

There are two traitors among the Qi family guards brought by Qi Jinzhi this time, Feng Sihu is okay, he is the family against the water. And before they caused a catastrophe, they arrested their family.

In addition, among Feng Sihu and Zheng Biao, Qi Jinzhi trusts Zheng Biao more. Otherwise, he would not have kept Zheng Biao by his side that day.

But it was his trusted subordinate who stabbed him backhand at a dangerous moment, directly killing four loyal guards. It almost caused him and Qi Dayong to die in Annan.

…… This is definitely a lesson in blood. A betrayal that hurts Qi Jin's heart!

Therefore, Qi Jinzhi is even more intolerant!

"So that the uncle knows, the little one just went to ask, Zheng Biao is indeed a little inappropriate,"

Qi Dayong's face suddenly sank, a touch of chagrin and deep hatred flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This rotten heart and liver killer looks loyal and honest on weekdays. Privately, for the sake of yellow and white things, just—"

He was so angry that he almost couldn't speak. He took a deep breath before continuing: "As early as the day we left the capital, he quietly sent a message to the Annan Palace. The reason why the palace knows our whereabouts well, in addition to a few thieves in Beijing, Zheng Biao has also made a lot of efforts. ”

The capital is far away from the southwest, and the Rao family has its own information channel, and it takes some time to pass the news back and forth.

Even if the spies of the palace in the capital heard the whereabouts of Qi Jinyi and his party, they would have to delay some time on the way to send a letter to the palace as soon as possible.

can recall the interception and killing encountered on the road when he came, although the whole process was a little rougher, but there was a beginning and an end, and it was clearly formulated by Concubine Ning for Qi Jinzhi.

In order for her to do this, she must have a very clear, timely and accurate knowledge of the journey and speed of the pedestrian.

This can only be done by people inside Qi Jinzhi.

At that time, although Qi Jinzhi and Qi Dayong muttered a little in their hearts, out of confidence in the 'Qi Family Army', they did not list the guards as the object of suspicion.

Qi Jinzhi would rather doubt the maids around Gu Jialuo, and even the masters and apprentices of Doctor Yan, rather than suspect his own brothers.

But now, Qi Jinzhi has to face the fact that no matter where it is, it will not be monolithic, even if it is the Qi family guard known as the 'Iron Army', there may be traitors!

"Did he have any unusual dealings with other people?"

Qi Jinzhi narrowed his eyes, flexed his fingers, and lightly clasped the tabletop, "Also, how did he contact the palace?" ”

Qi Dayong scratched his head in embarrassment, he had just come back, and the information he could hear was limited. In addition, half of his brothers are now in Shuixi, and he will not be able to return for a while, so he cannot get comprehensive and detailed information at all.

As soon as Qi Jinzhi finished speaking, he also found that he was too anxious, and said again: "After you go down, you will investigate carefully, and you must find out all the uneasy elements in the guard." By the way, don't forget to send a letter to Jingli and ask the family to check the situation of Zheng Biao's family. ”

Qi Dayong nodded again and again.

Qi Jinzhi saw that he was tired and had a wound on his leg, so he asked him to go down to rest.

Qi Dayong retreated.

Qi Jinzhi ordered someone to summon Liu Hu again.

Liu Hu is second only to Qi Dayong's deputy, and he is loyal to Qi Jinzhi, and when he met, he didn't need too many words at all, and he saw Qi Jinzhi's abnormality at a glance.

He took two steps forward and exclaimed, "Uncle, are you injured?" Qi Dayong is too useless, he didn't protect you? ”

Qi Jinzhi waved his hand, "A little injury." Not like that. I summoned you mainly to ask about the situation in the county seat and in the yamen in recent days. ”

Liu Hu glanced at Qi Jinzhi's complexion vigorously, and saw that he looked fine. Forced to endure the worries in his heart, he dutifully replied: "Uncle Hui, the day before yesterday, there was news from outside, saying that the chaos outside was a disaster and the Tartars were raging, and many families in the county town ran to the mountains for refuge, and a quarter of the people in the county town were gone. ”

The vast majority of them are rich people, and the rich are even more desperate for their lives. And these people are well-informed. You can see inside that ordinary people can't.

Liu Hu continued to reply: "It's okay in the county yamen, Master Meng and Mr. Zhou are both powerful people, and they arrange the daily affairs of the yamen very well. Especially in the past two days, rumors have been flying in the city. The people were instigated by some people to panic, but Mr. Zhou responded in time, and now the situation in the city has calmed down a lot. ”

Qi Jinzhi asked again: "What about the six major families?" Which of them has taken refuge? ”

"It's strange to say that none of these families have fled the county."

Liu Hu's tone was a little puzzled. But it is very objectively expressed: "Instead of going out of the city, they mobilized a lot of strong people from their respective cottages and granges." Yesterday, Luo, Yang and several other heads of families also sent people to the county government to ask if Master Meng needed help. ”

Qi Jin's heart turned slightly, as if he had thought of something. Continue to ask: "What about the Ma family?" What is wrong with Ma Zhongtai? ”

The Ma family did not take advantage of the incident in the palace to rebel together, which made Qi Jinzhi somewhat surprised.

When he came back, he also muttered to Gu Jialuo: Maybe he just returned to Usa. What greeted them was the situation that the county town was besieged by the Ma family's heavy troops.

Liu Hu replied: "The Ma family is as usual, that is, a few days ago, when the people in the city went out of the city to take refuge. The old owner of the Ma family and several clan elders also left. ”

Qi Jinzhi frowned: "The Ma family wants to run?" ”

They don't want Usa? Or do you have other plans?

Liu Hu shook his head and said in an uncertain tone: "It shouldn't be, Ma Zhongtai and his children are still staying at home." ”

It may be the Ma family's plan to stay alone, but leaving the children behind doesn't seem to be a show.

However, just as the two masters and servants of Qi Jin were talking, someone from outside suddenly came in to report-

"County Zun, Liu Zhutou, Fang Cai's Ma family broke into a few masked people and robbed Ma Xiancheng's sons and daughters."

Qi Jinzhi was slightly startled, "Masked man? And kidnapped two children? ”

It's kind of weird.

After pondering for a moment, Qi Jin suddenly asked: "Liu Hu, how many people did you just say the Ma family left?" ”

The Ma family is the focus of attention, Liu Hu arranged for several people to squat near the Ma Mansion, and he is very clear about this problem: "The Ma family has a total of 40 people, but only 10 people are really left in the Ma House. ”

"That's not right," Qi Jinzhi frowned slightly, and tapped his fingers on the table a few times: "A few masked people broke into Ma's house, ran through the layers of courtyards to the inner courtyard to pick up the two children, unless it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, it was impossible at all!" ”

Liu Hu became more and more puzzled: "Acquaintances? The Ma family is gone, and which 'acquaintance' will deliberately rob the two children? ”

Qi Jinzhi hooked the corners of his lips, "It's not a robbery, but a pick-up, maybe it's the handwriting of that Anayi." ”

Gujaro once told him that men and women have different priorities when it comes to the same thing.

Men are more rational, while women are more emotional.

Ma Zhongtai left his two children with him in the county seat, probably to temporarily confuse the county government and several major families, and also to show that the Ma family, like other families, will not escape from the battle, let alone mix with the rebels.

He did this for the sake of the overall situation and for the benefit of the entire family, even if he sacrificed the lives of his children for this, he would not regret it.

But Anayi is different, although she is an ambitious woman, she is also a mother.

In her heart, the great cause is important, and the children are equally important, and if she had to choose one of the two, she would most likely choose the latter.

In the Torch Festival incident, Anayi's decision is proof of this.

Liu Hu rubbed his chin, "Anayi? The next cousin of the Ma family? ”

Qi Jinzhi said 'um', and immediately ordered: "Li Hu, you quickly order people to chase people out of the city, and you must find Anayi's whereabouts." ”

He had a hunch that the Ma family, or the royal palace's next plan for Usa, must be related to Anayi.

After Qi Jinzhi arranged these, he carefully told Meng Fu and Zhou Wenyuan about the changes that had occurred in the palace.

"County Zun, this matter cannot be delayed, and it must be reported to the imperial court immediately."

After a brief shock, Meng Fu was the first to react and said in a deep voice.

Qi Jinzhi nodded, and then revealed: "It is estimated that General Ma has already sent this matter to the capital for eight hundred miles in an expedited manner." In addition, the political envoy should also return to the city safely, and he should also report it. ”

Zhou Wenyuan and Meng Fuqi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." By the way, our county town must also prepare immediately, and we must not let thieves bring disaster to the people. ”

In fact, they want to say, my lord, be careful of the Ma family, this family has long been anti-minded, and now taking advantage of the east wind of the palace chaos, they will inevitably take action.

Qi Jinzhi threw out another explosive news: "There is another thing, the Liang prefect was killed by the rebels on the way to escape from Xin'an, and now Wumeng is leaderless." ”

Zhou Wenyuan and Meng Fu glanced at each other, and they saw a touch of eagerness in each other's eyes.

The two exchanged glances, and Meng Fu spoke: "County Zun, this is an opportunity, there are only three counties left in the six departments of Wumeng, and among the three, you have the strongest ability and the highest prestige, at this time of crisis, you should stand up and prevent the six departments of Wumeng from suffering from military disasters!" ”

And the most important thing is that Qi Jinzhi's backstage is also the hardest, if he can take this opportunity to show himself well and pinch all the six parts of Wumeng into his hands, when the court rewards his merits afterwards, he may be promoted to the prefect of Qi Jinzhi.

"That's what I mean, I'm just worried about us Usa-"

Qi Jinzhi said slowly.

Zhou Wenyuan and Meng Fu stood up together and clasped their fists together, "If the county is trustworthy to his subordinates, his subordinates are willing to share their worries for the county honor!" ”

"Okay, then there are two Lao!" Qi Jinzhi was very satisfied.

Then he discussed the details with the two of them, and then sent them out of the room.

Gu Jialuo personally instructed the cook to cook the medicinal food, and brought it himself, just in time to see Qi Jinzhi standing at the door in a daze.

"Uncle, everything has been taken care of?"

Gu Jialuo and Qi Jinzhi entered the door together and asked casually.

Qi Jinzhi agreed, and then said with some concern: "Everything is ready on our side, but I don't know what happened to the capital!" ”

Capital? The capital is bustling with activity.

With the cooperation of Neiying, Kudulu led his subordinates to 'appear out of thin air' in the Forbidden Palace, although he encountered the resistance of the Praetorian Guards, but he still relied on the numerical advantage to stir up the Forbidden Palace.

The courtiers were either killed, injured or frightened, and screamed and cried at a birthday banquet.

Kudulu sat on the throne of the saint and looked at the frightened courtiers, his heart full of joy.

The only unhappiness is that the emperor, the crown prince, and several older princes are gone, but he is not worried, because his 'internal response' has not yet been strengthened...... (To be continued......)
