------Off topic------

Xie Fanghua intercepted his words and shook his head, "Brother Yunlan, don't go to check, I smell the familiar smell of medicine, it is the smell of lotus orchid watered with medicine, those two must be in their team." ”

Xie Yunlan waved his hand and beckoned someone, "Go check now and see if it's ......"

After the team had gone far away, the two jumped down from the tree and looked ahead.

A gust of wind blew, and there was a faint smell of medicine.

The team moved forward calmly, not too fast, but not slow either.

Qin Lian snorted, didn't seem to bother to speak, and stopped.

"I won't tell you, let's hurry up!" Jin Yan lowered the curtain.

Qin Lian snorted, "You believe it!" I don't believe it! If there is no banditry, there will be no other bad guys? ”

"Didn't Qin Hao raze all the bandits in this area a while ago? This capital city is a hundred miles away, and it is said that there are no more bandits, and it is very safe. Jin Yan said.

"Although I haven't traveled far away, I also know the reason for having guards with me." Qin Lian said.

"Haven't you been out of the house either?" Jin Yan said angrily.

"Go secretly, if you meet bad people along the way, your life will not be guaranteed, what Linfen Town will you go to?" Qin Lian snorted, "Miss Qianjin, who has never been far away, how do you know that the rivers and lakes are sinister?" ”

"It's slow!" Jin Yan was a little dissatisfied, and complained to Qin Lian, "It's all your fault, if it hadn't alarmed my mother, we wouldn't have taken so many people on the road, and we would have to take a car, riding a horse, we might be almost to Linfen Town now." ”

"Back to the county lord, there are still seventy miles." The man replied immediately.

Xie Fanghua frowned, this voice was the county lord of Jinyan.

"How far is it to Linfen Town?" Another voice in the car asked.

A person next to him replied, "Back to the county lord, this is to the Maple Leaf Forest, and I have already walked thirty miles." ”

Xie Fanghua was stunned for a moment when she heard that it was Qin Lian's voice.

As the procession was about to pass, the curtain of the car in the middle was lifted, and a man poked his head out, "Where is this?" ”

The two of them could only let her walk smoothly.

After two teas, the group came to the maple forest. Sure enough, as the two of them saw, it was the team of the eldest princess's mansion.

The maple forest is getting quieter and quieter!

Xie Yunlan quickly passed on the order, and the people in ambush soon got the news that they were standing still.

Xie Fanghua nodded, now it can only be like this!

Xie Yunlan shook his head, "Let's not act rashly first, and when they pass, we will send someone to investigate the news to see if those two have mixed into the team accompanying the eldest princess's mansion, and then consider making a move." ”

"It's so late, what are the vehicles of the eldest princess's mansion doing in a hurry?" Xie Fanghua was strange.

Xie Yunlan also looked at it carefully for a moment and nodded, "You read that right, it's the vehicle of the Eldest Princess's Mansion." ”

Xie Fanghua frowned, looked again, and after a while, she said suspiciously, "Why do I look at the vehicle in the middle that looks like the vehicle of the eldest princess's mansion?" ”

"It looks like a guard of a mansion." Xie Yunlan said.

"Brother Yunlan, is it their person?" Xie Fanghua looked at it for a while, because there was some fog tonight, he couldn't see who it was, but it was hard to imagine that it wasn't them who were in a hurry at this point in time.

I didn't expect them to go out of the city so much.

There are so many people, if it is a bloody battle, it may not be impossible to leak the news.

The two of them looked at each other, and their hearts woke up in unison.

The two of them waited for about another hour, and suddenly there was a faint movement behind them, and when they looked, they saw a team of vehicles and horses appearing in sight, this pair of people and horses was about two or three hundred people, lighting torches.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

In the dark, Xie Yunlan pursed his lips, and he also felt that something was not quite right, according to the news he got, the two of them would go out of the city in the evening, and they would definitely be able to go to the Maple Leaf Forest before the time. But he still said calmly, "Wait." ”

No matter how good Xie Fanghua's concentration is, he feels that something is wrong and looks at Xie Yunlan.

The hour had passed, and there was still no movement.

The two of them waited quietly.

Xie Fanghua nodded, Yan Chen, Qingge and others were not around, she was like losing her left and right hands, Shi Hua, Shi Mo and others were from the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and she generally didn't dare to use them to dispatch such things, so as not to leak the news.

"The news that the prince got will not go wrong, he will definitely leave, it is still early, we will wait." Xie Yunlan said.

Xie Fanghua couldn't help frowning, "Will you not leave today?" ”

Until the end of the day, there was no movement in the direction of the capital.

At night, there are pedestrians and vehicles walking by on the official road, and the whole maple forest is as quiet as ever.

Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan each chose a maple tree, sat on it and waited.

Now in early spring, everything is recovering, and the maple forest grows fresh branches and leaves, and it is green.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the two arrived at the maple leaf forest.

Walking along the broken mountains and forests of Nanshan Mountain, although it is a little laborious, but it can be a hidden trace.

After eating, Xie Yunlan took out the drawings, and the two studied the drawings for a while, Xie Yunlan ordered someone and ambushed near the maple forest. When they were ready, the two set off for thirty miles away.

The two of them went to the painting hall together.

Xie Fanghua responded.

"Now it's noon, let's go, let's go to lunch first, after lunch, we set off to the maple leaf forest thirty miles away, which is far away from the capital and suitable for doing." Xie Yunlan said.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

"How many years I've been sick doesn't happen overnight. She blamed herself for not taking good care of me all these years, and my grandmother also blamed herself. When I was in Xie's Rice Grain Mansion, I had to face their self-blaming eyes all day long, so I left the mansion and stood on my own, and then simply went to Pingyang City. If they can't see me, they will blame themselves less. Xie Yunlan said.

"The infection she said should be the poison of heartburning." Xie Fanghua sighed, "If you want to detoxify, you must always find the source." ”

Xie Yunlan shook his head, "There is no memory." ”

"Brother Yunlan, do you have any memories of what happened back then?" Xie Fanghua looked at him.

Xie Yunlan nodded.

Xie Fanghua said with a smile, "I just happened to meet it, and I gossiped for a while, saying that it was because she took you to the Fafo Temple to pray for the old lady, and you lost a stick of incense, and then you became ill." The rest didn't say anything. ”

After a while, he came to the water pavilion, glanced at Xie Fanghua, and said gently, "Is there something she is looking for you?" ”

I saw that the woman met Xie Yunlan after a short time, and talked with him with a smile, Xie Yunlan's expression on his face was as usual, and he also said something, after the two met for a short time, the woman left, and Xie Yunlan walked towards the water pavilion.

"Madame, go slowly!" Xie Fanghua stood up, but did not come out of the water pavilion to send him off.

"I'm leaving, Miss Fanghua, goodbye!" The woman's words fell, and she came out of the water pavilion.

Xie Fanghua turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Xie Yunlan coming from a distance, presumably because he heard Fengli's message and came immediately.

"Childe is here! I'll be staying soon! The woman stood up and said with a smile, "I've never seen a childe nervous, Miss Fanghua, except for the old lady, you are the first." ”

Xie Fanghua looked at her.

The woman shook her head, "I served the young lady back then, and I served the old lady, but there are some things that I don't know. After a pause, she smiled, "You know, once people know too many secrets, they won't live long, and the people who entrust them won't be at ease to let you live that long." ”

"You...... Do you know something? About me and Brother Yunlan? Xie Fanghua looked at her.

"This is given to me by Childe's mother before she died, give it to me, and when Childe grows up, give it to Childe." The woman said, "But when I saw your name engraved on it, I felt that it was also your business, so after thinking twice, I would like to leave it to you!" Maybe that's what works for Childe. ”

Xie Fanghua reached out and took it, touched it, the thing in her hand was very soft, like a cloth, she didn't open it immediately, and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”

The lady took out a cloth bag wrapped in Juan Pa from her arms, looked at it, and handed it to Xie Fanghua.

Xie Fanghua looked at her and nodded.

"Now that the old lady is gone, the son has grown up. Before the old lady left, she couldn't let go of her son. My lord and I sent someone to invite him several times, but my son didn't go back to the capital. Fortunately, Miss Fanghua, you went to Pingyang City, and he came back and saw the old lady for the last time. The woman looked at Xie Fanghua, "Miss Fanghua, I originally had something to give to Gongzi today, but I think that if I give it to Gongzi, I'm afraid he will only put it away silently and won't show it to you." Since I met you today, it is also a coincidence, and it must be providential. I'll leave it to you, and you'll be at your disposal." After all, this thing, in addition to the relationship between the son, is also related to you. ”

Xie Fanghua stopped talking.

The woman shook her head, "I don't know, when I found him, I fainted under a locust tree in Houshan Temple." Later, I immediately took Childe home, but since then, Childe has been sick. ”

Xie Fanghua looked at him, "Where did he go?" ”

The woman nodded, and the boy had lost a stick of incense.

"At the beginning of the Dharma Buddha Temple, Brother Yunlan left your sight?" Xie Fanghua asked.

The woman nodded, "At that time, the old lady had an illness, and my son and I went to the Dharma Buddha Temple to pray for her, but I didn't expect that the old lady was not only not well, but the son was also entangled in the disease. ”

"Dharma Buddha Temple?" When Xie Fanghua heard this name, he intuitively thought of the blue cliff on the mountain behind the Dharma Buddha Temple.

The woman shook her head, "I also know too well, it's just that I took my son to the Dharma Buddha Temple to pray for blessings, and when I came back, my son fell ill." ”

Xie Fanghua looked at her, vaguely feeling that she knew something, or what to say to her, but now, it hadn't reached the point. She pursed her lips, "How did Brother Yunlan's illness go?" ”

"It's a pity that I couldn't take care of my son, or when he was a child, he went on a business trip, which made him sick now, and over the years, I also blamed myself very much, and also made the old lady sick for a long time, and I was treated well by the old lady." She said again.

Xie Fanghua suddenly realized that this woman was this identity, no wonder before the old lady of Xie's rice grains smoked, she was the only one by her side. It must be extremely trusting and important.

"After my sister went, the old lady pointed me out to the master, straightened it up, and I had nothing to do under me, and I always treated my son as her own. It's just that Childe's temperament has changed a lot in recent years, and he is not very close to me. The woman looked at Xie Fanghua, and when the words fell, seeing that she was puzzled, she smiled and said, "I used to be the maid of the young lady, and the young lady in my mouth is the mother of the son." The young lady went early, and the old lady pointed me out to the master, also so that the son would not be persecuted by others, and I would be the step-room, and I would take care of it. ”

Xie Fanghua nodded, indeed, she is not very familiar with the side branch relatives except for a few rooms near the branches.

The woman smiled, "There were too many guests back then, you were still young, you don't remember normal, and we have so many relatives in the Xie clan." I can't remember. ”

Xie Fanghua smiled, "I was still young at that time, so I don't remember my wife." ”

The two of them came to the water pavilion, and after sitting down, the woman smiled, "Except for the time before the old lady's death, it was also the birthday of the old marquis nine years ago, I went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion with the old lady and the old lady, and I saw you once, this is the third time I have seen you." ”

Feng Li saw that the two of them were gone, thinking that Gongzi probably didn't expect that Madame was waiting here to talk to Miss Fanghua, so he naturally couldn't stop the two, and immediately turned around and went to the front hall to report to Xie Yunlan.

The woman smiled and walked to the back garden first, Xie Fanghua knew that she should have something to say, and walked up to follow her.

Xie Fanghua nodded, "Naturally, I don't mind, madam, please." ”

"If Miss Fanghua doesn't mind staying with me for a while and chatting for a while, how about we go to the water pavilion in the back garden?" The woman asked with a smile.

Xie Fanghua saw that this middle-aged woman was the woman who was at the dying place of the old lady of Xie's rice grain that day, and she nodded.

"I came to see the childe's residence, after all, there is not even a maid in the house, I am afraid that there is something wrong, and now it seems that I am too worried." The woman finished speaking and looked at Xie Fanghua with a smile, "Miss Fanghua!" ”

Feng Li took Xie Fanghua to the inner courtyard, and when he was at the door, he saw a woman standing there, who seemed to have been waiting for a while, and he was startled, "Madam? Why are you here? ”

Xie Yunlan turned around and went to the front hall painting hall.

Feng Li hurriedly stepped forward to lead Xie Fanghua.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

"Let Fengli take you to the inner courtyard to rest first." Xie Yunlan said warmly to Xie Fanghua.

The man shook his head.

"What are they doing here?" Xie Yunlan asked.

After getting out of the car, the gatekeeper said to Xie Yunlan, "Son, the lord and the lady are here, waiting for you in the front hall." ”

The carriage left the city and returned to Xie Yunlan's mansion smoothly.

Xie Fanghua also stopped talking.

Xie Yunlan looked at her and stopped talking.

Xie Fanghua was silent, if it was according to Qin Zheng's words, he had waited for her for many years, wasn't it premeditated? Suddenly, I remembered that he said, "Life is a hundred years, ups and downs, and it is good to grasp only one thing." words. I can't help but feel a little more in my heart.

Xie Yunlan listened, was silent for a while, and smiled, "This is premeditated." ”

Xie Fanghua nodded, and briefly told him about being entangled by Qin Zheng on the day he returned to Beijing, and then he couldn't get rid of him anyway, and tried every means to trap her in Prince Ying's mansion.

"Fanghua, it's you!" Xie Yunlan said in a low voice.

Xie Fanghua sounded like a child in his previous life, at that time, the whole world was talking about the destruction of the Xie family, and the songs and ballads continued for several years.

The remarks on the street about the death of the two sons of Prince Ying's Mansion have not faded.

After several people agreed, Xie Mohan and Xie Fanghua left the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion together, got into Xie Yunlan's carriage, and headed out of the city.

Xie Mo bowed his head.

"Brother, this is the capital of Southern Qin! It's not the capital of Northern Qi, you can rest assured! Xie Fanghua waved his hand.

Xie Mohan nodded, "You two be careful. ”

Xie Fanghua nodded, "Then this matter is decided!" After the words fell, she looked at Xie Yunlan, "I'll go out of the city with Brother Yunlan now, fortunately, his mansion is outside the city, and it won't be noticeable." ”

Xie Yunji was helpless, "Listen to you!" I'm too lazy to do it anyway. ”

"That's why you can't do anything to him." Xie Fanghua said.

"In the blood of the royal family, how much brotherhood and father-son affection are there?" Xie Yunji sneered, "Didn't he come to Nanqin to kill me?" ”

"That's not going to work either! It's one thing to think about it, it's another thing to lose it. Xie Fanghua shook his head.

Xie Yunji was disdainful, "I didn't think about going back to Northern Qi, and I was afraid that I would lose my heart in his heart?" ”

"If Brother Yunlan follows me, it will naturally be the best. It shouldn't be a problem for the two of us to deal with the two of them. Xie Fanghua nodded, "Then so be it!" Brother, you stop Qin Zheng later, don't let him get involved in this matter. Brother Yunji, you'd better not come forward. Otherwise, if you send it back to Northern Qi, you know your brother, but you want to do it secretly, and you will lose your heart in the heart of the emperor of Northern Qi, after all, you are all his sons. ”

"Fanghua naturally can't go alone, and Qin Zheng really shouldn't do such things. So be it! Although my grandmother has not passed seven days, I have filial piety, and she categorically does not blame me. I'll go with you. Xie Yunlan said, "Use my men." ”

"He is the little prince of the British Prince's Mansion, if he doesn't want to provoke a war between the two countries, he should not come forward." Xie Mohan shook his head.

"Naturally, I won't go alone, if I expect it to be true, tonight, Qin Zheng will also appear. With the two of us, that's enough. Xie Fanghua said.

"Although Yunshui's martial arts are not high, the martial arts of that light words are unfathomable." Xie Mohan said uneasily, "You can't go alone!" ”

It couldn't be more appropriate for her to come forward.

Besides, she is handy with the things behind her back!

Although she is the young lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, it is precisely because she is her daughter's family, so even if the two of them want to restrain her in the future, it is not good to openly say it, after all, it is not a face-saving thing to be planted in the hands of a woman, especially the identities of those two, which cannot be ignored.

Therefore, after some discussion, Xie Fanghua became the most suitable person to come forward.

Although Xie Yunlan has no identity or other involvement, because the old lady of Xie's rice grain has not passed for seven days, he should not be bloody.

Although Xie Yunji's identity is already clear, after all, there are still a few people who know it, so it is not appropriate for him to show up, in case the incident happens, so that his identity will be revealed to the world before he is ready, which is not a good thing.

He was the first to rule it out.

Xie Mohan is the prince of the Marquis of Zhongyong, representing the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, and he should not participate in the matter of taking down the two of them, and he can't face each other in front of them, so as not to be found out in the future.

The four of them got together to discuss countermeasures.
