189 clues

After hesitating for a night, Qi Shangyi still decided to go to Zhuangzi, so he said that he would go out shopping, and he went out in a carriage.

Along the way, Qi Shangyi paid attention everywhere, and sure enough, there were many people following him, so he got off the carriage at the mouth of an alley and went to the alley alone, originally wanted to enter the alley and then find a way to get rid of the people who were tracking, but he didn't want to just enter the alley, Qi Shangyi was dragged into a courtyard, Qi Shangyi was originally reflexively going to slap the man, but when he saw the man's face clearly, he quickly withdrew his hand.

"General Hua, why are you?" Qi Shangyi looked at Hua Aotian in front of him in surprise and said, a little confused whether he was helping himself or monitoring himself for Murong Yin.

"Sit down and talk!" Hua Aotian looked at the situation outside through the crack in the door, and then turned around and beckoned Qi Shangyi to sit, Qi Shangyi looked at the room, so small, it is estimated that the corner gate of the courtyard is it.

"General Hua, what is this?" Before he understood Hua Aotian's purpose, Qi Shangyi didn't know what kind of identity he should have to talk to him, and knew that he was a straightforward person, so he didn't hesitate to open his mouth and ask.

"The county lord can rest assured, Hua has no malicious intent." Hua Aotian looked at Qi Shangyi and smiled, got up and took a burden from the side and put it on the table, "These county lords should use it." ”

Qi Shangyi opened the baggage, there was nothing special in it, only an ordinary set of women's clothes, but it was exactly what Qi Shangyi needed.

"Thank you so much." Qi Shangyi took out his clothes from his baggage and said to Hua Aotian.

Hua Aotian smiled faintly, "Prince Xi has the grace of knowing each other. The third sister also said something about him in the letter, but Washington has a large population, and he can't take care of the safety of his family to join the prince. I can only do my best again. ”

Qi Shangyi listened to what he said sincerely, thinking that it would be good for him to stand up and help him at such a time, so he hurriedly bowed to Hua Aotian.

"General Hua doesn't have to blame himself, you can help me like this, it's already a charcoal in the snow, Xiao Qi must remember his kindness."

Hua Aotian smiled and nodded. "I have ordered someone to stop the carriage outside the city gate, and the county lord went out from the other side after changing his clothes, as for the men who are following you. Just leave it to you. ”

"Then it's troublesome," Qi Shangyi said and took his clothes to the inner room, changed his clothes, and changed his appearance again. Only then did he leave the house. He nodded to Hua Aotian.

Hua Aotian understood, went out first, Qi Shangyi stayed in the house, and could still hear some small movements around, after a while, when the movement was gone, Qi Shangyi lowered his head and pretended to be an ordinary woman and went out of the alley. went straight out of the city gate and found the carriage that Hua Aotian said. Then he went up to Zhuangzi.

Because Zhuangzi is outside the city, Murong Yin didn't send people here, since the death of Prince Xi, most of the servants here have also dispersed, and those who remain are homeless old people like housekeepers, basically they are very sincere to Zifeng Xiqi.

But even so, Qi Shangyi didn't dare to tell his true identity, but just took a token from the West Prince's Mansion, saying that the Lord of Xiyue sent him over to move a few chrysanthemums back to the palace.

The gatekeeper was a tall and thin old man, who looked at Qi Shangyi, exchanged the token for her, and then led her inside.

"Does the county lord of Xiyue still live permanently when he comes back this time?" The old man walked for a while and suddenly asked, these old people who stayed in the courtyard didn't want to see this courtyard go on like this, but unfortunately Prince Xi was not married, and there was no child under his name to inherit these inheritances, but there was a sister, but she was the priest of Dongli, knowing that it was unlikely, but the thin old man still did not give up, so he asked.

Qi Shangyi was anxious to find clues, a pair of eyes secretly looked around, and he didn't have the heart to guess what the old man meant, so he replied copically: "The slave doesn't know!" ”

The thin old man glanced at Qi Shangyi, thinking that the palace was finished, and these newly sent palace maids in the palace were estimated to be so inhumane, hey.

"The front is Cunjutang." The old man raised his finger and pointed to the courtyard in front of him, "The prince loved to raise chrysanthemums before his death, and specially built this yard, although it is already past the season of chrysanthemum appreciation at this time, but there are still a few special varieties that are blooming, why don't you take those pots to the county lord?" ”

There are a few special ones! Qi Shangyi became interested when he heard this, and secretly thought that there was something special in these flowers, so he hurriedly said to the old man: "Don't worry, you can take me to see those flowers first." ”

The old man nodded, took out the key and opened the courtyard door, and when he entered the yard, he could see a yard full of chrysanthemums, but because of the passing season, it had begun to fall.

"This way!" As he spoke, the old man pushed open another door and walked in with Qi Shangyi, the house had windows on all sides, and now it was all open, and the sun was spreading in the room.

"That's it." The old man led Qi Shangyi to the innermost side, "These pots are the most precious ones in the prince's lifetime." ”

Qi Shangyi leaned down and looked at the four pots of chrysanthemums in front of him, from the flower state, the character is the best, what is more noticeable is this color, two of them are general white and yellow, but there are more colors and layers with those ordinary chrysanthemums, and the other two, one pink, one green, the color is weird, but it attracted Qi Shangyi's attention.

"Uncle, do you know the names of these two flowers?" Qi Shangyi turned around and looked up at the old man, maybe there was some mystery in this name.

The old man smiled, pointed to the two pots of flowers and said, "The prince said that flowers are the same as people, and they are easy to feed by a random name, so the green one is called Ah Lu, and the pink one is called Ah Fen." ”

Qi Shangyi smashed a drop of cold sweat to the ground, Zifeng Xiqi actually named his beloved chrysanthemum like this, this one A Fan, one A Lu, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is a mystery, it seems that the clue is not in the name, it should be on this flower and flower pot. Qi Shangyi thought about it and moved to check the flower pot, and the old man behind him hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, "Girl, you can be careful, this flower is very precious, if you smash it, you will lose a lot." ”

Qi Shangyi nodded, hurriedly put the flower pot away, and stood up, this flower pot was covered in white porcelain, there was no pattern at all, and there was no clue at all.

"Forget it, let's go back." Qi Shangyi said disappointedly, maybe the bookkeeper just wanted to come here to see these chrysanthemums blooming just right.

"The girl didn't take the chrysanthemums with you?" The old man asked suspiciously.

Qi Shangyi shook his head, "Forget it, such a precious chrysanthemum, it's a pity to move it around." (To be continued......)
