"Madame is gone, Madame is gone, young master, Madame...... It's gone. ”

After looking back and forth, Aunt Ou finally shouted anxiously.

At this time, Qin Zhaocheng had just finished practicing in the morning and walked into the courtyard with Zhao Sheng, and met Aunt Ou, who had no master of the six gods and came to find an idea.

"What? It's gone. Qin Zhaocheng was taken aback, frowned slightly, and a trace of panic suddenly flashed in his heart, and he directly crossed Aunt Ou and entered Qin Shu's room.

He searched back and forth, but he didn't even let go of the connected ear room, and still didn't see Qin Shu's shadow.

Looking at the bed, the futon was neatly folded, as if no one had slept before.

It wasn't until he noticed a little white under the pillow that his eyes paused, and he walked over and lifted the soft pillow, with a letter pressed under his eyes.

Qin Zhaocheng picked up the letter with his hand, and the envelope was written in beautiful and free handwriting, "Wu'er You'an personally opened" six words, Qin Zhaocheng opened the letter without hesitation, and when he was about to read it, he found that her letter was written horizontally from left to right, and he endured the discomfort to read it. There are only two lines written on it, and it's very straightforward.

You'an:

My mother went out for a walk, don't worry, take good care of yourself, my mother knows that you will definitely come back, and my mother is waiting for you. I hope that when my mother comes back, you will already think of my mother and don't have to look for me.

After Qin Zhaocheng finished reading it, his nose was a little sour, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, and tears slipped down the corners of his eyes unconsciously. However, the next moment, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were restored to their original calm and depth, and he put away the envelope with an indifferent expression.

"Young master, where did Madame go, you still hurry up and order to find Madame? Maybe Madame hasn't gone far yet......" Aunt Ou said anxiously.

However, before he finished speaking, he was so frightened by Qin Zhaocheng's eyes that he closed his mouth.

It wasn't until Qin Zhaocheng walked out that she patted her chest and came back to her senses and gasped for breath.

The young master was too terrible just now, not like the person she knew at all.

However, even though she was afraid, she still followed and asked, "Young Master, ...... madam?"

"Mother, don't ask, the young master has his own measure." Before Ou Shi could catch up with Qin Zhaocheng, he was stopped by Zhao Sheng.

"But ......"

"Nothing." Zhao Sheng said, "Didn't you see the lady leave a letter for the young master, it will definitely be fine." ”

When Aunt Ou heard this, she finally sighed, didn't ask anymore, and just said, "What's going on?" I always feel that the family has been weird these two days. ”

"Is there one? Why didn't I feel it? Zhao Sheng pretended to be crazy and said stupidly, "Mother forgot, Mrs. used to go out at this time, maybe Mrs. was just bored and wanted to go for a walk." ”

It's just that I haven't been out much in the past two years.

Aunt Ou nodded and said, "That's what I said, alas, when I'm old, I always like to think more, so I'll set you the meal." As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed and left.

Zhao Sheng saw that his mother finally stopped asking, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

And where did Qin Shu go at this time?

In fact, she has left Changping County at the moment.

Last night, she thought about it, how could she not face the current "You'an" calmly, so she decided to leave temporarily and go for a break by the way.

With this thought, she couldn't stand still.

In the middle of the night, she quietly went out of the house, although the house was more heavily guarded, but she couldn't be trapped.

In order not to worry You'an, she also left a letter, so as not to be anxious and sad when You'an returned.

Yes, she was incredibly sure that You'an would come back.

She didn't believe that You'an would be willing to leave her, and she didn't believe that he would give up his body.

You'an, a person who is so proud and stubborn, will definitely not admit defeat like this.

Qin Shu changed into a blue men's robe that she had already made, combed a high ponytail on her head, hung a sword around her waist, and carried a burden on her back, just like a ranger. Of course, her sword also serves as a decoration and deterrent, so that people dare not attack her at will.

Qin Shu has no destination, and she doesn't particularly want to go anywhere, so she can only go wherever she goes.

However, when she came out, she found that the situation outside was even more chaotic than she had imagined.

There are homeless bandits everywhere, armed forces everywhere, and if the rich people in the countryside don't raise one or two hundred thugs, they don't dare to call themselves rich people, just wait to be robbed!

There are also those who catch strong men, gather people to burn incense and worship Buddha, or make trouble. However, the current forces are still scattered, noisy and noisy, occasionally sitting in the teahouse, I often hear that there is a war here, there is a disturbance there, how many people General Zhu Cuo has killed, etc., making people panic everywhere, everyone comes and goes in a hurry, and the comfortable days seem to be gone forever.

Most of the people I saw on the road were in a hurry, or in groups of three or five, and there were very few people like Qin Shu who were traveling alone. Therefore, along the way, Qin Shu didn't know how many waves of robbery she had encountered, who let her be alone, and it looked like she was easy to bully!

Some of the people who robbed her wanted to kill people and rob money, and some people were forced to be helpless.

The robbers that impressed Qin Shu the most were a skinny family, with only four people in total, an old mother, and two small ones. An eight-year-old girl, and a five-year-old boy. The only thing that could stand up to the problem was the skinny, skinny young man.

They robbed Qin Shu, and there was no way, because the youngest child was already sick and dying.

When they robbed, they couldn't even finish their words, and they were trembling, and they were more afraid than her, the one who was robbed.

In the end, they didn't rob her, but knelt down in front of Qin Shu and kowtowed to her, asking her to give a little food or silver to save their children.

Fortunately, there is no one around in the wilderness here, Qin Shu is within his ability, but he is not stingy to help them, let alone not

It is impossible to help them, and it is impossible to watch a little child die like this.

Qin Shu didn't hesitate, took out four steamed buns from the baggage, and let them share them.

Seeing the steamed buns, the family couldn't help but swallow their saliva, after the adult took the steamed buns, he first gave one steamed bun to his mother, and then broke the other steamed bun in half, and handed it to his two children.

When Qin Shu saw it, she had a little more affection for this man.

Seeing that they were carrying two broken bowls by their side, Qin Shu took out the kettle again and poured them two bowls of water, and after the man drank a bowl of water, he seemed to have a little spirit, got up and solemnly thanked Qin Shu.

Looking at his posture, he looks like a reader.

Qin Shu thought so, so she asked casually, but she didn't expect that the other party was not only a scholar, but also a talent.

Qin Shu was very surprised, as a showman, how could he still be like this?

Zhao Xiucai told her with a wry smile, it turned out that they were people from Anqing Mansion, and they were also a cultivator and study family more than a month ago, and they had a small asset in the family, and they lived happily, but he had a very beautiful wife, but as a result, for some reason, his wife, who had never gone out much, was actually known by the prefect's brother-in-law, who not only forcibly snatched his wife, but also took away nearly 100 acres of his house for two days, and fabricated a murder charge for him, fortunately his friend informed him in time, and he escaped early with his wife and child.

Who knew that it would be so chaotic outside, and the entanglement was robbed, and he didn't dare to go out to find work, for fear of being caught, so he had to hide and hide until now, making a living by digging wild vegetables and catching fish. As a result, his youngest son was sick and couldn't eat, so he decided to rob some money, treat the child, and buy some delicious food, but he didn't expect to meet Qin Shu in the first robbery.

When Qin Shu said to Zhao Xiucai, she looked back at the five-year-old boy, thin and small, with a sallow face, with the help of her sister, like a little hamster, nibbling on steamed buns little by little, swallowing hard, looking better than just now.

This Zhao Xiucai has been able to take a family with the old and young, and he has lived safely until now, I am afraid that he is not a simple person, and his character looks good, at least until now, he has not abandoned his mother and two children.

Thinking that there are few literate and readable people in his own guards, I used to hear You'an complain that there are not many people available, perhaps, Zhao Xiucai has some use.

Even if it's useless, he is still young and can afford to toss, not to mention, at least he is literate, bookkeeping and the like.

Thinking of this, Qin Shu told Zhao Xiucai that Xiao Qinzhuang in Changping County was recruiting, so he could give it a try.

When Zhao Xiucai heard this, he was very moved, but he still asked about the background and way of doing things of the Qin family, Qin Shu explained, and he immediately agreed with a thousand thanks.

Even so, they are their own people. Qin Shu asked Zhao Xiucai to eat the steamed buns to fill her stomach, and after they took care of themselves, she took the child to the nearest county town to see a doctor.

Then, Qin Shu left him some silver and a letter, and said goodbye to them.

Fortunately, when she met Zhao Xiucai, she had only come out for three days, and she hadn't even left Anqing Mansion, and it wasn't too far from home. Whether they can stay or not depends on their own creation.

After all, that person wasn't You'an.

After Qin Shu dealt with Zhao Xiucai's matter, she continued on the road.

stopped and stopped all the way, and after more than half a month, Qin Shu came to Anqing Mansion.

Now that it is more chaotic, the household registration identity is not strict, and Qin Shu easily entered the Fucheng.

Qin Shu had also been to Fucheng before, but she was not a stranger.

Perhaps because of the presence of government soldiers, the city is more stable than the outside, and it looks very lively.

At this time, it was almost noon, Qin Shu found a teahouse to sit in, ordered two dishes, a plate of steamed buns, and a pot of tea, and ate slowly, while eating, while listening to the diners in the teahouse.

In order not to attract attention, she also found a corner.

As a result, a piece of news caught her attention.

The people who spoke were a few guests at the table next to him, so she could hear them very clearly.

"Have you heard? Empress Dowager Zhou intends to choose a concubine for the little emperor among the people! ”

"Of course I heard about it, didn't this matter spread a long time ago? I haven't seen any action from the imperial court! ”

"This time it's different, I heard that this time it's really moving. It is said that it was selected by 9,000 years old! ”

"No, it's so chaotic outside now, and the court still has the heart to choose a concubine?"

"You know what? I heard that the selection of a concubine for the emperor is fake, and the selection of a ding furnace for Zhou Guozhang is true. Zhou Guozhang is cultivating and plans to live forever! So far, I don't know how many girls have been harmed. ”

"What, there is such a thing? It's bad, I have to go back quickly, let my daughter hide it, in case she is chosen, won't she die. ”

"Your daughters are married, what's so scary? Only virgins under the age of sixteen are chosen! ”

"I'm relieved to be relieved, alas, it's really non-stop, now that the news is leaked, people who have daughters are probably going to be married again, and they are in a hurry to marry their daughters."

"That's not right, since it is Taishi Zhou who wants to choose the Ding furnace, why is it that the nine thousand years old personally choose the girl? Aren't they not very coaxing? ”

"This ...... I don't know...... Anyway, I heard that the nine thousand years old are already on the way, and it must not be long before they reach us. ”

Hearing this, a sneer appeared on Qin Shu's lips.

Nine thousand years old? Very good!

She was about to seek revenge on him, and he came, saving her from having to go all the way to the capital to find him.

As long as Cao Zhong is killed, Cao Jinglan and Xu Shiqing are afraid that they will be finished

I'm afraid it's over, not only will I take revenge, but I will also be able to eliminate harm for the people.

She decided, next, she was going to kill that 9,000-year-old.

Since they still don't think this world is chaotic enough, then she will add another fire.

In the next gossip, Qin Shu didn't eat again, and quickly finished eating and walked out of the teahouse.

……

Xiao Qinzhuang. Qin Zhaocheng was taking a nap.

He didn't have the habit of napping before, but since he was reborn, he has a lot of habits that he didn't have before, such as napping.

At this time, Qin Zhaocheng didn't sleep very peacefully, his brows were frowning, a dense cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he seemed to be muttering something in his mouth.

After a while, his brow furrowed even tighter, and his body trembled slightly, and the tremor grew louder and louder.

The next moment, he suddenly shouted "Mother-" suddenly opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and gasped violently.

It took a while for his breathing to calm down.

He put his hand in front of him, looked at it carefully, and muttered to himself, "I ...... No, who the hell am I? Am I Qin Zhaocheng or Qin Youan? ”

After saying that, he couldn't help but rub his forehead with a little headache.

Since the woman left, he had to come here almost every day, at first, he knew that he was Qin Zhaocheng, but later, he became more and more uncertain. Moreover, the memories of getting along with that woman are slowly coming back, and I always worry about her unconsciously every day.

A few days ago, a Xiucai surnamed Zhao came to the village, saying that she recommended it, and she also wrote a letter of recommendation, when he heard her news, he almost wanted to give up a qiē to find her, but fortunately he woke up in time and controlled himself, so he didn't leave.

That Xiucai did have a bit of real talent, but he dragged them too down, but for the sake of that woman, he still left them on the mountain.

Unexpectedly, today he dreamed of her again.

And, it doesn't seem like a good dream yet.

Where the hell did she go?

"As a woman, you should be at home with a good husband and children, and you can't go out of the door, so what's the point of running around like this?" Qin Zhaocheng muttered, "However, her strength is so strong, there shouldn't be any problems!" ”

With that, he got out of bed, went to the basin shelf, washed his face with cold water, and then regained his composure and walked out with a calm face.

Because he suddenly remembered that Cao Zhong chose a concubine for Emperor Yuanguang at this time, the people began to be anxious to marry their daughters, although his father-in-law Xu Zhaoting had his own power, but he was not strong at the moment, and he did not dare to fight with the court, Jingfang happened to be in time, therefore, he was also a little anxious about Jingfang's marriage, and almost promised Jingfang to others.

Fortunately, Cao Zhong was assassinated later, and he was seriously injured and returned to Beijing, so the matter was settled.

If he went to ask to marry Jingfang at this time, perhaps, his father-in-law would agree. He didn't have to wait until two years later to get married.

He also discovered that after being born again, many things have changed, and since he has an extra mother, of course, his wife may marry someone else.

This is something he absolutely will not allow.

He has always been very satisfied with Jingfang, even if he lives again, he doesn't want to miss her, so it is serious to marry her into the family as soon as possible.

However, there is a problem.

He is not a person now, but an elder, or his so-called mother. He is not alone in this marriage, and he must ask for her consent.

But she's not here now, and he doesn't want to drag it out, lest there be any changes in the future.

Therefore, even he, the emperor, is in a bit of a dilemma at the moment.

After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to go to Dingxian to meet his father-in-law and wife in his previous life, and explain to her when his mother came back.

At this time, Qin Zhaocheng didn't find out that he was already taking Qin Shu more and more seriously.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have considered Qin Shu's attitude at all, and it would be good to be able to support her for the rest of her life.

Qin Zhaocheng made up his mind, and immediately asked people to prepare carriages, horses and gifts, and planned to come to the door to ask for relatives in the next two days.

……

Three days later, Cao Zhong finally entered the territory of Huaixi, and he had already selected ninety-nine virgins to send to the capital.

However, this is not enough.

He still has to continue to choose, in addition to the people that Zhou Taishi wants, he also has to choose some people, and finally the little emperor's.

Of course, he also knew that the outside world was not very peaceful at the moment, and many people hated him to the core, so he brought about two or three thousand guards to protect himself tightly, and he didn't have to worry about his own safety.

And along the way, there was no one who didn't bump into him, but it made him relax his vigilance.

Everywhere he went, he was greeted by magistrates and offered generous bribes, which made him feel very good.

At this moment, he was sitting in a specially made carriage, squinting his eyes and beating the beat, with a pleasant smile on his face, and two beautiful young women in the carriage were singing him a little song.

Cao Zhong knew that there must have been many people who heard the news and were in a hurry to marry their daughter, but so what? As long as he takes a fancy to it, no one can escape, he is not the same as the old guy of Taishi Zhou, whether he is a virgin or not, for him, there is no difference.

Just when Cao Zhong was listening to the music contentedly, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Then, he heard someone exclaim, "There are assassins, protect Chitose!" ”

Cao Zhong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of anger, who was so bold and dared to assassinate him?

And the two singers who sang for him were also so frightened that they shivered and crowded into the corner.

"What's going on?" Cao Zhong couldn't help but open the window and asked outside.

"Chitose Lord be careful!"

Before the man could finish speaking, he saw an arrow that stabbed to the window of the carriage, and if it were not for the thick enough board of the carriage, it might have been shot through.

Cao Zhong was angry and angry, his face turned blue and white, and shouted outside: "Quickly take down all the assassins for me!" ”

He didn't believe that his more than 2,000 people couldn't deal with just a few assassins.

It's a pity that what he didn't expect was that the people who came to assassinate him were not just a few people, but hundreds of battle-hardened warriors.

Because, these people are the remnants of the Song family's army.

After General Song's family was wiped out, they also broke away from the army and formed a team to take revenge on Dayan.

The assassination of Cao Zhong at this moment was the first revenge plan they planned.

It's a pity that although they are all elites, there are too many people on the other side, almost ten times as many as them, and their people are beginning to gradually gain the upper hand.

"Iron Head, what do we do now? There are too many people in Cao Laogou, and if this continues, I am afraid that our people will be wiped out. One of the soldiers, with a scruffy beard, said to a strong man at the head.

And this strong man is none other than Tie Yun, who once followed Song Liangxiu.

It's just that at this moment, there is a terrifying scar on his face, and his expression is no longer clear, but a little more gloomy, and his eyes are red from anger.

"Kill! Even if we fight until the last moment, we will also kill Cao Gou. Tie Yun said through gritted teeth.

In the past few months, he has been thinking about revenge all the time, and now that the opportunity is in front of him, how can he give up?

"But he is not the only enemy of ours......"

"Kill one and count one!" Tie Yunruo said frantically, "I can't wait any longer. ”
