390: The girl is gone
Shi Qing, a strategist, can not be said to be intimidating, the daily life and travel of Jin Qi on weekdays, down to the people he comes into contact with every day, and even whether he is in a good mood or bad on a day, he must know everything well.
"Yes......" Shi Qing said while thinking: "I told Childe that the girl was going to come to Lingxi Xiaoyuan tonight, and it was okay to see him, although Childe didn't directly say whether he came or not...... But this afternoon, there was a sudden riot among the Barbarian clan, and Gongzi took people to check the situation, which stands to reason...... I shouldn't have been able to get back so soon. β
At this time, it should be halfway through.
Of course, his estimation is not necessarily accurate, maybe the son-in-law is unreasonably happy, the horse hurried faster, and came back early, it is not impossible......
But if Gongzi came to Lingxi Xiaoyuan, how could no one come to inform him?
Shi Qing has always had a keen perception in this regard, and Heng Zhi felt that something was not quite right, and when he was about to ask Shanghua Changjing in detail again, he saw that she suddenly grabbed her sleeve.
"That's not right!"
Hua Changjing's expression was shocked, and he shook his head and said, "At that time, you had just left with your front foot, and someone came to invite Ah Ying on your back foot, who was a person with eyes...... It's like trying to avoid you! β
Blame her for most of her thoughts at that time on Shi Qing, who went to Mr. Lingxi's place, wondering if he went to see Miss Tang Yue, and the atmosphere was very good at that time, so she didn't pay attention to these details at all-
At this moment, when Shi Qing mentioned it, he found that there were too many things wrong!
For example, Jin Qi, who has always been careful to protect the relationship between the two, would let a retinue that doesn't seem to be very effective. In the presence of Gu Zaili, an unwitting outsider, she bluntly asked Ah Ying to come over; For example, the other party was at a loss when they heard their words of cooperation; Then he deliberately chose to invite people during Shi Qing's absence!
These are too suspicious!
Shi Qing's face turned pale when he heard this, and he stood up in an instant, and asked, "Can someone say where did the girl go?" β
"No...... It is only said that it is the person invited by the second son of Jin...... As for where it went, it was not stated on the spot. Saying this, Hua Changjing couldn't help but become more and more frightened.
She didn't even know where Ah Ying was taken!
"Sakura, she...... Something must be wrong, right? Hua Changjing said nervously: "After Ah Ying came to Yunzhou, she has never offended anyone, who will set up this bureau to lead her over?" β
"Don't worry just yet." Shi Qing held her hand and said in a deep voice: "The person who can use the relationship between the son and the girl as bait will not be a living person...... And the 'acquaintances' who know that the girl will come here tonight must not be many. Think about it. I will be able to figure out who made the ......."
As he spoke, his eyes rolled slightly, and he almost had an answer in his heart.
After his calm and straightforward analysis, Hua Changjing had to follow his train of thought all the way on.
"Yes...... Jinmi?! She looked at Shi Qing in amazement. Sure, but not sure.
It's not that she hasn't heard of the entanglement between Jin Mi and Jiang Ying. Plus at the beginning of this year in the capital. Those gifts that the Jin family sent to the Qingbo Pavilion for many days...... The purpose is almost obvious.
And the relationship between the two sons in the Jin Mansion is also known to be not harmonious enough...... Those in the know will even think that they are walking on thin ice. But with the slightest exertion, the superficially fragile harmony is immediately broken.
And in this case, no matter which granddaughter of the Kong family marries, the situation will be unbalanced.
If Jin Mi really sensed something, it would be according to his character who lacked a sense of taking the overall situation into account...... It's really very likely that you will make a move that is not good for Ah Ying!
"Yes and no...... Find out what you see. Even though Shi Qing had the calmness of being in danger, when she thought of what might happen to Jiang Ying, she had to tremble.
If the girl really has anything wrong tonight, don't say that it is difficult to treat the master and the master, even himself, he will definitely blame himself!
"I'll go to the eldest prince to find out the situation - Ah Mei, you go to Mr. Lingxi on my behalf, you can talk to him about this matter bluntly, and ask him to take someone to search in the small garden, Mr. Lingxi has been a friend of the master for many years, and he can definitely arrange it properly, and he will not let the situation be publicized." Shi Qing shook Hua Changjing's shoulder, and said in a calm tone: "Don't panic, you know?" β
Hua Changjing's character is very trustworthy, as long as he calms down, he will be able to handle things well.
Hua Changjing secretly pinched his palm, nodded heavily, and quickly left the private room with Shi Qing.
Shi Qing inquired a little, and then learned which private room Jin Mi was in, and walked quickly, after the door was opened, it was almost expected, and he didn't see Jin Mi's figure - "Where did the eldest prince of Jin go?" β
Shi Qing asked the young man who had fallen down, and his tone was a little anxious that could not be concealed.
He noticed it too late, it had been too long since the girl had been lured away!
For such a long time, anything terrible can happen!
It was because Jin Mi was so stupid that he was afraid...... What smart people dare not do for all kinds of restraints, only stupid people can do without scruples, because they are too stupid, so they rarely think about the consequences!
"The eldest prince of Jin has sobered up...... someone replied in a daze.
"Where did you go to sober up?"
"I don't know ......"
Sure enough, it was him!
Shi Qing's face sank suddenly, turned around, and slammed the door slammed shut, and the drunken young man in the room suddenly sobered up two or three points.
"About half an hour ago, did you ever see the girl Jiang who was walking with me pass by here?" Shi Qing strode to the top of the stairs and asked the attendants guarding the sides.
But the two boys were not the two who were guarding here before, so they shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Shi Qing secretly calmed down, hurried downstairs, sent the guards guarding in the shadows, ordered one person to go back to the barracks to invite Prince Ying to come, and ordered another person to use the power secretly spread around to find clues.
It stands to reason that Jiang Ying had such a thing. The master is not in the camp, as a strategist who shares worries for the Lord, he should never have been the first to inform Jiang Lang of this matter, how much Jiang Lang values his sister needless to say, if he knows, it is inevitable that he will have estrangement and resentment with Jin Qi because of this - but now, he should put Jiang Ying's safety first and mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized!
As for Jiang Lang's dissatisfaction and resentment afterwards, he is willing to shoulder it on his shoulders and not ask the master to bear half of it!
The master did not know whether he could return to the city at this moment, and he did not know anything about this matter. Thinking about it, Prince Ying was dissatisfied in his heart. There is no reason to attack directly on the master.
Shi Qing made up his mind in his heart not to let this matter be involved with Jin Qi, and he didn't dare to delay for half a minute, and arranged everything that could be arranged, so he followed a retinue to find someone in person.
Find Jiang Ying right now. It's imminent!
β¦β¦
At this time. Jin Qi was leading a team of personal soldiers on the way back to the camp.
The moon is full tonight. The suburbs with stars overhead and grass and insects chirping are a rare good night.
"Masterβ"
Song Yuanju, who was driving his horse behind Jin Qi, grabbed a rough reins in his hand and looked up at the bright night sky. said with a smile: "I heard Shi Qing say that today is Miss Hua's birthday, he set up a banquet in the 'Lingxi Garden' in the city, and he didn't invite others, but called Miss Jiang alone...... I just don't know if this banquet is dispersed at the moment, but the master wants to take a look, maybe he can join in the fun. β
He is concerned about the overall situation, and he has never played a black face for this reason, and has always advocated that it is wonderful for the two to be rare, but because both parties have been 'behaving well' recently, he feels very relieved, and the master who does not know the truth has come unclear these days, so all day long there is a kind of 'how can she say that she doesn't care about me, what is wrong with me', and if it weren't for the frustration of asking the truth, Song Yuanju saw it in his eyes, which really made him feel guilty......
That's why I took the initiative to mention the suggestion of letting Jin Qi 'join in the fun'.
Of course, Jin Qi is not a person who likes to join in the fun, but this excitement is related to Jiang Ying, so he didn't hesitate......
"You lead the troops back to the camp first, and I'll go back when I go-"
This answer was expected by Song Yuanju, so he didn't say much, simply agreed, and parted ways with his master in front.
Jin Qi went directly into the city, and Song Yuanju and his party went back to the camp.
Along the way, Song Yuanju was in a very good mood, and everything was developing in an orderly manner according to their plan recently, which can be said to be going well.
Although it was only the beginning, they had been planning for too long before that.
Just like the calm before the tide comes, it is actually the accumulation of strength that is ready to go, and once the wind and tide rise, it must be turbulent and unstoppable.
If you are well prepared, you will be sure to win!
A new situation is about to begin......
Song Yuanju clutched the reins in his hand tightly, looking at the little fire emitted from the camp tent not far away in the vast night, and the excitement in his heart became stronger and stronger.
It's just that as the distance gets closer, it seems that you can faintly see the movement of beams of firelight, but it looks like a group of people leaving the camp late at night.
"Quick!"
"Keep up!"
A hurried cheer came, and several soldiers behind Song Yuanju realized that something was wrong, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" β
"It seems to be Prince Ying's subordinates......"
Song Yuanju frowned, and slapped the horse and hurried forward.
When he approached the barracks, he turned over and went down, but he didn't have time to catch up with Jiang Lang, so he casually grabbed a soldier who followed the cavalry on foot and asked: "Prince Ying led the troops out of the camp late at night, I don't know what happened?" β
The soldier recognized him as the commander beside Jin Qi, so he replied truthfully in the Central Plains dialect, which was not very fluent: "There is a bandit in Yunzhou City, and Prince Ying will take me to arrest himβ"
When he said this, the soldier's face was a little messy.
Song Yuanju was stunned, and this person had already trotted away with the team.
asked two more questions one after another, and after getting the same answer, Song Yuanju showed a strange expression.
There is a vicious bandit in the city, this kind of thing is managed by the Yunzhou Mansion, no matter how bad it is, the Yunzhou Mansion's government asks to come here, and they should send someone to solve it...... Why did he alarm Jiang Lang, and personally led troops to go out late at night to arrest bandits?
Although the friendship between Yunzhou and Xiling was established by Jiang Lang's help in the previous war between the Western Barbarians, Song Yuanju is still clear about the truth - although this Prince Ying is also a person from the Wind Country, he is clearly a master who has nothing to do with himself!
Could it be that this haunted bandit has nothing to do with Xiling?
Song Yuanju thought he was speculating carefully, hesitated, and decided to go back to sleep.
No matter what kind of bandit it is, with Jiang Lang's team in it, he can't escape properly, plus Shi Qing and his master are in the city, so he won't join in the fun.
I've been running around lately, so it's better to sleep well and recuperate, and then get to know what happened after the matter settles early tomorrow morning.
Song Yuanju planned very well, but the truth was far from being as calm as he expected.
The next trend of events seems to have doomed the entire barracks tonight, and no one wants to sleep peacefully......
β¦β¦
"Mr. Shi, the second son is here!"
In the Lingxi Garden, which was already in a semi-locked state, an attendant hurriedly found Shi Qing, who was exchanging clues with Mr. Lingxi, and said urgently.
"The second son is back?" Shi Qing's face was startled, and as soon as he turned his head to look out, he saw that Jin Qi, who was wearing a black cloak, had already strided, and I don't know if it was because of the heavy night outside, which made his face look extremely solemn.
"Childe!" Shi Qing hurriedly saluted.
"What's wrong?" Jin Qi went all the way, and he sensed that something was wrong, and now seeing Shi Qing's face like this, he was even more convinced that something big had happened.
Shi Qing knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only hang his head and say truthfully: "Girl...... It's gone. β
"Who?" Jin Qi's eyes were cold.
Shi Qing felt the sudden change in his body, and his body unconsciously bowed lower.
Since the master is here, no matter what the result is, I am afraid that this matter will not be able to be suppressed anymore......
"What's going on?" Seeing that Shi Qing bent over blindly and did not continue to answer his question, the breath on Jin's body became a little colder, making people dare not try to force his eyes.
"It's all to blame for the slow response of his subordinates and ......poor protection," Shi Qing blamed himself, and in order to save time, he only roughly recounted what happened with Jin Qi, as well as the object of his suspicion, Jin Mi.
"There are no clues that the girl was taken out of Lingxi Xiaoyuan - but the vision is not good at night, so it is difficult to ensure that there are no ......fish that have slipped through the net," Shi Qing worried.
"Are there any of Jin Mi's subordinates here?"
"There were several servants who accompanied him, and they all said that the eldest prince had just sobered up, but he couldn't answer where he went, so he was about to use an excuse to go back to the camp, but I stopped himβ"
Although Shi Qing said lightly at this time, it was a desperate step to detain the people around Jin Mi rashly, after all, now they can't come up with evidence to prove that Jin Mi took Jiang Ying away.
"Bring someone here!" Jin Qi said coldly.
"But ......" Shi Qing hesitated slightly.
If the master wants to see, it must not be as simple as asking two words......
If you fall into the grip because of this, it is undoubtedly not good.
"There is no direct evidence to prove that this matter was done by the eldest prince......" Shi Qing persuaded against his will.
He didn't want to do that either, but he had to think about it more.
"No...... That's him! β
A female voice rang out from outside the door, her voice trembling but loud. (To be continued......)
