Chapter Twenty-Eight: Determined to Return to Beijing

"Qingqing, don't worry, since the people sent by the emperor didn't catch General Li Meng, presumably he will be fine for the time being. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yan Yunxi held Zhao Qing's hand and comforted.

"Yes!" Zhao Qing nodded carelessly, but was still a little worried. Remembering that Su Muyun should not have finished speaking, he said to him again. "Brother Su, I just interrupted you, don't worry about me, you go on."

"Good!" Su Muyun nodded, and looked at Yan Yunxi again. "Yunxi, if it is really as you said, the emperor is ready to move the Qi family, then General Li's matter, someone will definitely find ways to implicate the Qi family. The Qi family will become the mastermind of this rebellion case, and I am afraid that this is the next step, and the Qi family should be sealed. ”

"The emperor's purpose is more than that. Recovering the military and political power is only the first step, and after that, it is the Su family that has the real power to take charge of Nanling's taxation. Over the years, in addition to being directly in charge of Nanling's salt, tea, iron, and ore, Marquis Su has been in charge. It also manages the freight, grain, medicine, brocade and silk in the north and south, which are the lifeblood of Nanling's treasury taxation. Since the emperor has long been suspicious of Yan, Qi, and Su, he will inevitably weaken the real power of the three families step by step. Yan Yunxi held the teacup and pinched the cup with his index finger, which was a small action that he would unconsciously have when he thought about things.

"Could it be that the emperor will also use the means of framing General Li to frame my Su family for rebellion!" Su Muyun, who has a gentle temperament on weekdays, is obviously a little angry.

"I can't guess what the emperor will do next to the Su family and the Yan family. It's just that I'm worried that the emperor and King Xijin will join forces to uproot the Qi family this time, which will undoubtedly lead the wolf into the house. What kind of deal did our emperor reach with King Xijin, if he really reached any terrible deal, I am afraid that the whole city will be shocked. Speaking of this, Yan Yunxi, who was quite confused, suddenly thought of something, suddenly looked up at Su Muyun, and asked anxiously. That's right, Brother Su. You said that when King Xijin entered Beijing, he still brought the national teacher of the Wu clan? Is it the witch revelation? ”

"Well, Wu Qi entered Beijing with King Xijin, and is now living in the Linxing Pavilion of the Imperial Palace. This time, Wu Qi was followed by a young girl, fifteen or sixteen. In private, Wu Qi loves her very much, and she shouldn't be an ordinary maid. ”

"Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl?" Yan Yunxi fell into deep thought. "Since Wu Qi loves her very much, she must not be an ordinary person. Brother Su, do you know anything about this Wu clan? ”

"The Wu Clan is an ancient local tribe in the Xijin Kingdom. The people of this tribe are good at all kinds of witchcraft and Gu magic. Among the witchcraft of this witch Gu, it is said that there is a Gu technique that can control people's hearts, but because it is too vicious, it is listed as a forbidden art by the elders of the witch clan. However, the witch family who leads the witch clan knows the art of divination. Therefore, the Wu family has been recruited into the palace for generations, with men as national teachers and women as priests. It is used by the Xijin royal family, and the position is better than the prime minister. ”

"Compared to the prime minister, it seems that the official rank is very high." Zhao Qing interjected from the side. "Then how old is this national teacher?"

"The Year of the Sixtieth Birthday." Su Muyun thought for a moment and replied.

"Sixty? That girl is very likely to be his granddaughter or grandson, that is, a high-powered national teacher, and for such an important matter as coming to Nanling with King Xijin, he will definitely not bring any concubines or the like. Zhao Qing took a sip of tea and said casually.

After listening to her words, Su Muyun pondered for a long time, looked at Yan Yunxi, and felt that it was still a little impossible.

"What you said, I've also thought about it, it's just that Wu Qi's granddaughter Wu Ling'er is the spirit girl of the Wu clan, and the priest of the next king, before she officially becomes the priest of Xijin, it is impossible to leave the Wu clan at will, because the spirit girl can use divination, so there are many people who want to snatch the spirit girl, although Wu Qi loves his granddaughter, but he should not take risks and bring the spirit girl to Nanling so far away."

"What's impossible, grandpa dotes on his granddaughter, he insists on playing with him, but he can't resist his granddaughter, it's not impossible, besides, she dresses up in disguise, a little maid, who would have thought that she was a spirit girl." Zhao Qing retorted.

"If it's really her, it's an opportunity." After listening to Zhao Qing's analysis, Yan Yunxi thought for a moment and whispered to himself.

"Huh? Opportunity? What chances? Zhao Qing didn't hear what Yan Yunxi said clearly.

"Oh, nothing." Yan Yunxi came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Qing and smiled. looked at Su Muyun again. "That's right, Brother Su. How's my grandfather? ”

"Xiangye, he said that he was sick and recuperated in the house."

"My grandfather is sick?" Hearing that his grandfather was in good health, Yan Yunxi was anxious.

"How did you get sick, what kind of illness is it, have you seen a doctor?" Zhao Qing was also anxious.

"Don't worry, Xiangye is not really sick. It's just the matter of the Qi family, which will be more or less implicated, in order to avoid suspicion, Xiangye temporarily recuperates. Coupled with the accident between you and your younger siblings, Xiangye has been trying to find a way to bring you back. Su Muyun explained carefully.

"Oh, that's good!" Zhao Qing raised his hand and patted his heart, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Brother Su, for the sake of today's plan, let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible. Besides, I still have some things I want to ask grandpa. ”

"Well, the carriage will be picked up at the long pavilion on the official road back to Beijing, and you can see it when you go out of Shiling Mountain and go up to the official road." Su Muyun nodded, in the current situation, it is better to go back and discuss with Yan Xiang as soon as possible.

"Alright, then we'll leave immediately!" Yan Yunxi stood up, his tone firm.

"Now? Isn't it too urgent, your injuries haven't healed yet. Although she is also very worried about the situation of the Yan family, she is more worried about Yan Yunxi's physical condition.

"I'm fine, and the insects say I'm fine. I'm worried that if we delay for a few more days, something will happen. Yan Yunxi gently supported Zhao Qing's shoulder and smiled faintly, reassuring her.

"Well, then I'll go find Yan'er and come back." Zhao Qing knew his thoughts, and when he was in such a dangerous situation, he was certainly worried about the safety of the Yan family. smiled gracefully, and said to Su Muyun again. "Brother Su, I'll go first."

"Good!" Su Muyun nodded and smiled warmly.

Zhao Qing turned around and went out, standing in front of the yard, looking at the busy figure of Cordyceps, feeling a little reluctant. Although she has only stayed for more than half a month, she has long regarded Xia Cao as a young brother and winter insects as a brother in her daily relationship. I was about to leave suddenly, and my heart was inevitably a little heavy. She calmed down and walked out the door. Running in the direction of the river, thinking that at this hour, Yin Chiyan should have taken her pets to let off steam. I ran all the way to the river and looked around, but there was no one. I was feeling strange in my heart, and from time to time I was muttering, 'Dead girl, where did you go?' Suddenly, something hit her head.

"Oops!" Zhao Qing covered his head, and a red fruit fell to the ground.

Zhao Qing picked up the red fruit and turned his head to look at the tree. Yin Chiyan was sitting leisurely on the tree, one foot hanging in the air, the other foot on the trunk, leaning against the tree, looking down at Zhao Qing triumphantly, and smiling evilly.

"Who are you scolding?" Yin Chiyan held the red fruit and smiled evilly.

"Dead girl, you actually hit me with something! You come down for me! Zhao Qing looked angry and shouted, pointing at Yin Chiyan.

"I won't come down, you have the ability to come up!" Seeing that Zhao Qing was annoyed, Yin Chiyan smiled even more happily.

"If you have the ability, you come down, don't be like a turtle with a shrunken head, don't dare to come down from the tree!"

"Come down, come down, I'm afraid you won't make it!" Listening to Zhao Qing's arrogant shouting, Yin Chiyan jumped down from under the tree with disdain, turned over and hung upside down on the trunk, flew and spun, and landed beautifully.

I saw Yin Chiyan smile and pat the dust on his body. looked at Zhao Qing with a slight provocation, and the corners of his mouth were still a wicked smile. Seeing that she was so arrogant, Zhao Qing rolled up his arms and sleeves again, and walked towards Yin Chiyan with his teeth and claws.

"Hey!" Yin Chiyan pointed at Zhao Qing, who looked like he was going to eat people, and looked at her with a sigh of relief. "Don't blame me for not warning you, Xiaohuan is preying around here, and it will not be good for me if he sees you again in a while. I'll pounce on you and bite you again, and I'll not save you!" ”

As soon as he heard that Xiaohuan was nearby, Zhao Qing instinctively withdrew his hand and looked at the grass around him vigilantly, for fear that Xiaohuan would pop out and bite him again. And Yin Chiyan saw Zhao Qing's current appearance, his heart was so happy, he couldn't help snickering on the side, and finally let her win.

Zhao Qing saw her laughing at herself, glanced at Yin Chiyan, and had no choice but to admit it, so it was not up to her to argue, and remembered that she wanted to go back to the capital.

"Okay, I'm not messing with you. I've come to you because I have something serious to tell you. Zhao Qing's expression turned serious.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her serious look, Yin Chiyan also became serious.

"We're going back to the capital."

"When are you leaving?" Yin Chiyan's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Now!" Zhao Qing pondered for a moment and said to her again. "Grandpa Brother Tuosu has come to pick us up, your task has been completed, and you can go back to the Stygian Lan Tower to resume your life. Finally, you don't have to face me anymore.,How's it?,Isn't it secretly cool to death.。 ”

"Humph! Who said that my task was completed, the landlord meant that I would escort you back to Beijing and confirm your safety before the task was completed. Yin Chiyan leaned against the tree, his hands clasped around his chest. I'll go with you. ”

"You can't bear me like that!" Zhao Qing raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly and said with a flattering smile.

"Less narcissism, just because the Lord is hard to do, I wish I could stay away from you." Yin Chiyan glanced at Zhao Qing with disgust.

"If you can't bear it, you can't give it up, it's duplicitous, it's not cute at all." Zhao Qing said with disdain. "Let's go, Yun Xi and Brother Su are still waiting for us."

Yin Chiyan nodded, and whistled in the direction of the grass, and the whistling sound was small. After a while, Xiaohuan came out of the grass. Yin Chiyan took out the bamboo basket on his waist, and after Xiaohuan entered, he returned to the direction of the medicine house with Zhao Qing.
