Yang Zheming looked at An Ning, suddenly thought about it, and answered Liu Yiyi's question: "He is the youngest son of Prince Zhuo Rui, Yang Ning, and I will escort him to meet his father this time." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Liu Yiyi was taken aback, although Prince Zhuo Rui was not in Jindu all the year round, he was the emperor's brother, the commander of tens of thousands of Dongjiang troops, and a large area of fertile territory in the south was his fief. His eldest son, Yang Bin, is the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, and the father and son hold the military power, and they are extremely favored by the emperor.

Liu Yiyi was in Jinzhong, so he naturally didn't know the details of the royal family of Jindu, and he didn't think that Yang Shizi would joke about this kind of thing, so he had to take it as true.

The youngest son of a prince, his brother and father are all important ministers with military power, and even a trip to Lianggu City has to be escorted by another prince's son, and Yang Ning is very favored when he wants to come.

She remembered that she had just made disrespectful remarks, criticized the royal family, and committed a taboo, so she couldn't help but feel worried and didn't dare to say more.

Yang Zheming was quiet, lowered his head and read again. Black Eagle listened to his master's nonsense on the side, and his expression was painful.

Suddenly, a groom shouted, "Someone has fallen overboard!" ”

Everyone straightened up to look, An Ning sat on his horse and looked high, and suddenly saw that in the river upstream, the small basket was fluttering. The river upstream was so deep and so deep that the small basket was almost completely submerged and was being washed downstream.

Zhu Sanshao shouted: "Hurry up and save people." ”

Several big men with good water properties hurriedly waded in to fish for people, the water was very cold in winter, and when the small basket was fished up, he was soaked, his lips were frozen blue, and he kept shivering, and he was still holding the bronze pot in his arms.

Feng Lan exclaimed while pushing everyone away and rushing in, holding the small basket tightly, his whole body was freezing and steaming, Zhu Sanshao hurriedly asked people to come over with a blanket.

An Ning's gaze fell on the bronze pot, and his gaze swept over everyone: "Who told him to fetch water?" "The little basket is the person next to her, since Qiao Xu left, no one dared to command the little basket to do things.

What's more, the little basket is too young, and it is too dangerous for him to go to the water's edge to fetch water.

When the maid beside Liu Yiyi saw this scene, she couldn't help but take a step back, she didn't expect that the wild child was by the master's side, and she didn't expect the child to fall into the water.

Zhu Sanshao glanced at the thing, and asked Liu Yiyi: "Dare to ask Miss Liu, is this an object in your house?" ”

At the bottom of the bronze pot, a willow character is engraved.

Liu Yiyi was shocked, and looked back at her personal maid, whose face turned pale, and knelt down to beg for mercy: "I didn't know he would fall into the water......"

Zhu Sanshao took a step forward and said in a low voice: "You have hands and feet, but let a child go to the river to fetch water?" ”

Although Liu Yiyi was angry that her maid was disobedient, she also felt that she was just a slave's child, and if she drowned, she drowned, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.

She had no choice but to smile and say, "Why don't I give him some silver." After the words fell, Liu Yiyi took out a few taels of silver from her sleeve and handed it to her maid: "Go quickly, solve the stupid things you did by yourself." ”

The maid took it tremblingly, walked in front of Feng Lan, threw it on the placket of her clothes, and quickly retracted back to Liu Yiyi's side.

An Ning shook her head, she wanted to step forward and make it clear, she didn't want Feng Lan to hold her, and said in a low voice: "Master, it's okay." ”

An Ning glanced back at her, Feng Lan was used to being suppressed, for fear of causing trouble for her, but she was not afraid of causing trouble.

In her previous life, she was quiet and tolerant everywhere, how could they let her go?

Feng Lan pulled the corner of her clothes and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, it's important to hurry, don't worry about them." As soon as the words fell, she reached out and picked up the silver taels on the ground, as if she accepted the other party's compensation.

The little basket was huddled in his sister's arms, looking at An Ning with a pair of frightened eyes.

An Ning is helpless, under the hierarchical status level, if she comes out for the small basket again, it will only make him more concerned and at a loss.

If you continue to theorize, it seems that she really has to be unforgiving.

Yang Zheming looked at this scene and whispered a few words to the old man, and the old man stepped forward and said, "It's almost dark, everyone pack up and can go." He said to Feng Lan again: "I'll arrange a carriage for the two of you alone, let's go to the front early and find a place to stay, and your brother can rest early." ”

Feng Lan nodded hurriedly. She turned her head sideways, glanced at Yang Zheming, and nodded in thanks.

Liu Yiyi felt that Feng Lan was interested, smiled slightly, and turned back to the carriage with the maid, only to hear a crisp slap from the carriage.

An Ning snorted coldly in his heart, and because Yang Zheming didn't help, he ignored him angrily along the way.

Between Jinzhong and Lianggu City, the road meets several small counties, the street is deserted, and they stay in a better inn.

That night, An Ning sent someone to prepare a stove in Feng Lan's house, the small basket was changed into dry clothes, his face gradually warmed up, Qingyan boiled the medicine against wind and cold, pinched the nose of the small basket and poured it, forcing him to sweat a hot sweat.

The little basket drank the medicine and quickly fell into a deep sleep, making a slight snoring sound. Feng Lan sat in the darkness, reached out and stroked the forehead of the small basket, and in the night, her eyes revealed a thrilling light.

Early the next morning, everyone packed up and straightened out the people, but the maid beside Liu Yiyi who ordered the small basket to fetch water yesterday disappeared.

Liu Yiyi had some doubts in her heart, and if she didn't give up, she had to find someone. Zhu Sanshao had no way out, so he sent people to search everywhere.

Yang Zheming didn't have any opinions, An Ning didn't sleep very well last night, and lay down to sleep when he got into the carriage.

Until noon, everyone looked around, but there was still no one. In the end, someone said that she saw the maid sneaking out last night, Liu Yiyi checked, and found that her money and clothes were missing, so she was so angry that she smoked.

Qingyan was secretly happy in her heart, and bit her ear with the small basket - it is estimated that the maid was afraid of going back and being punished, so she ran away that night. Feng Lan saw that the little basket did not have a fever, and gradually relieved herself.

Everyone was busy on the road, and there was no manpower to chase the fleeing maidservant, so Liu Yiyi had no choice but to report to the local county town and still go to Lianggu City with the team.

A month after they left, a boatman fished up a river on the edge of the county town with a soaking female corpse, who he couldn't recognize at all, and seemed to have been washed down from upstream.

However, when the boatman fished her up, he found that she was clinging to a bronze pot full of stones, as if she had committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.

Lianggu City is the largest city in northern Xinjiang, almost isolated from the world, outside Lianggu City, is the Mobei Wasteland. The city of Lianggu has been burned and rebuilt many times after many wars, and it is difficult for people to live for a long time, so it is a place where caravans supply horse grain and exchange goods.

Because the crown prince was assassinated and heavily guarded, the caravan was not allowed to enter without a customs clearance document issued by the government. With all the caravans heading towards Neiguan, Lianggu City looked very empty and desolate.
