Chapter 331: The Calm Before the Storm
PS: The third update! Fixed! Feel free to read!
After the painting was drawn, everyone who saw it couldn't help but gasp.
If the scene in this painting really appears in front of you, it is definitely an inescapable situation.
Behind is a cliff, in front of which is an encirclement, and the arrows that are like a rainstorm are overwhelming.
Escape?
There is nowhere to run except by jumping off a cliff.
No matter how powerful the light work is, in the face of stormy arrows, unless you can turn into insects, maybe there is still the possibility of escape, a big living person, the next result can be imagined.
was hit by an arrow, fell off a cliff and shattered his bones, this is the predictable ending.
When I finished painting this picture, Hua Shangxue's face was ugly, and when I thought of the picture I had seen with my own eyes that day, I unconsciously changed my complexion.
Yu Mi Ying handed over the portrait to March, and asked him to find someone to draw the terrain and send someone to find the location of similar terrain, and the rest of the things, with this painting as an example, came up with a solution, and it was also targeted.
At this moment, Hua Shangxue, Yu Miying and others are still in this inn and have never left.
After everything was arranged, he originally planned to burn down the inn directly with a fire, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a pity to burn it.
This place is very hidden, and the existence of the basement is a good camping place, of course, it is only used as an ordinary station, if you really want to be important, you need to renovate, and dispose of the previous fish that slipped through the net, so that you can use it with peace of mind.
It's not enough, but the corpse in the inn needs to be disposed of.
A sinkhole large enough became the best burial ground for the corpses. He threw all the wine on the corpse, poured fire oil, and destroyed everything in the inn except for the tables and chairs, and the useless things were thrown here and burned after verification.
The things here are only arranged by someone, and Siniang was originally going to leave, but because of the prophecy that Hua Shangxue said, she stayed.
She wants to see with her own eyes whether things are true or false before she can decide one thing.
After staying overnight at the inn, we set off for Beijing the next morning.
When I returned to the capital, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. At the middle of the day.
In the past few days since Hua Shangxue and Yu Mi Ying suddenly disappeared. There were treacherous clouds in the capital, and the disappearance of the two was not hyped up, but some people from the Bai Mansion and the Qi family could still be seen secretly probing their whereabouts around, and they appeared behind the two at the same time. There was an immediate signal. But they each informed their respective masters. reported the news of the safe return of the two.
The Qi and Bai families, who received the news, immediately made a move, and before the two of them could enter the city for a long time, Qi Yuan, the eldest son of the Qi family, had already hurried over. happened to collide with Bai Yuming in Baifu, and stopped on the way of Hua Shangxue and Yu Miyao, and the two glanced at each other, which turned out to be a bit of tension.
"Humph!" After the two glanced at each other, they snorted coldly, turned to look at Hua Shangxue and Yu Miyao, and opened their mouths in unison.
"Xiaoqi (aunt), go home with me."
It was the first time Qi Yuanhua had seen Shangxue, and it was really a little awkward to be called aunt by such a man who was at least three or four years older than himself.
However, Hua Shangxue also guessed the identity of the other party from this title.
Unexpectedly, before she officially went to the Qi family to visit the Qi family, she would actually meet the people of the Qi family here, and she was called an aunt in public.
Let the people around the onlookers talk to each other.
"That's Qi Yuan, the eldest son of the Qi family, your nephew in name." Yu Mi Ying explained, and also revealed the identity of the person who came.
Although I guessed a little, I was a little surprised when I actually heard the explanation.
After all, after being the righteous daughter of Qi Qingjun and Mrs. Qi, she has not officially visited the Qi family for a long time, and now that Qi Yuan has come to pick it up in person, it is not good not to go on a trip, but she has also received a lot of kindness.
"Xiao Qi, I ......"
"I know what you're trying to say, go ahead. Tomorrow, I will officially visit Qi's house, and it will be just in time to finalize the marriage contract between you and me. Yu Mi smiled softly.
"Then I'll wait for you." Hua Shangxue nodded and said, and after the two spoke briefly, they parted.
I thought I would see a tense scene, but I didn't expect that it would just be a short confrontation and then they left.
Yu Mi Ying followed Bai Yuming back to Bai Mansion, and Hua Shangxue followed Qi Yuan to the Qi family's mansion.
"Little aunt, what happened to you and the prince, you have been missing for many days, and you still can't find any trace of you in the whole capital, if you don't show up again, you will make a big deal about it. Great-grandfather was furious and scolded his grandfather, almost did it, and even almost mobilized the capital garrison to go out to find your traces. Qi Yuan sat in the carriage, and just after leaving the previous street, he asked like this.
"I've had some trouble, but it's pretty much solved." Flower on the snow answers.
"Little aunt, are you still going to hide it from me? If the matter really comes to an end, how can the prince let you go back to the Qi family with me so easily. Is there anyone who wants to deal with you, and the prince is unable to take care of your safety at all, so he asked you to follow me back, knowing that within the scope of the Qi family, we have the absolute ability to protect you. I advise you to confess quickly, and I can give you an idea, in case something goes wrong in front of your grandfather or great-grandfather, you shouldn't want anything to happen to the two old people, right? ”
What do you mean by that? Why do you say that? Xiao Qi just thinks it's a matter of politeness for me to go back to Qi's house, and he will come to pick me up tomorrow, definitely not because he was afraid of putting me in danger as you said. Hua Shangxue replied in a deep voice, not liking Qi Yuan's attitude when he said this.
"Little aunt, don't you want to think about it, why did I and the fourth young master of the Bai family happen to appear in the same place so coincidentally, and it is still the place where you came back? Is it just a signal that explains everything? Qi Yuan reminded.
"Someone told you in advance that we'd go that way at that time?"
"My little aunt is also a smart person, and sure enough, she knows a little. Please also aunt you don't hide it from me, at least tell me what happened. You are the grandfather's daughter, my aunt, is the daughter of the Qi family, and please believe that the Qi family can survive to this day is not due to luck, that is to have its own heritage to survive to this day, and the position of the Taifu above the dynasty must have a member of the Qi family, and the prime minister is the same, so many years of tradition have continued, in addition to the trust of the king, it is also related to the heritage of our Qi family. We are courtiers who assist the king, and as a courtier, especially a courtier who occupies the right to speak in the court, if he cannot control what is happening in the country, he is not a qualified courtier. If you don't want to say it, after returning to the Qi family's mansion today, your grandfather will also send someone to investigate, I believe that you definitely don't want such a thing to happen, right? ”
Hua Shangxue looked at Qi Yuan.
"Why?"
Qi Yuan said with a smile: "Although the little aunt is just a righteous daughter, the Qi family never needs a woman with bad conduct and no ink on her chest, since she has the name of the Qi family, she is naturally a member of my Qi family, and the people of the Qi family help each other and never give up. The Qi family in the capital is all on the official road, as long as the Qi family is interested in being an official, they will gather here, and the rest of the people are all over the branch, and they are the eyes and ears of our Qi family and their siblings. ”
Hua Shangxue nodded, and seemed to understand why Yu Miying was so happy to see this matter come to fruition, and it turned out that there was a reason for this.
Think about the attitude of the queen mother, although she was given a dismount at first, but in the end she didn't do too much, a queen mother wants to give face to a courtier, but she won't feel inappropriate, it can be seen how much weight this courtier has.
It turns out that there is such a doorway in it.
Hua Shangxue thought about it and made a decision.
Regardless of whether what Qi Yuan said was true or not, whether Yu Miying didn't want her to be involved, and she didn't want to be turned away by him.
Hua Shangxue took a deep breath and said, "A few days ago, on the day my brother Hua Xiacao came to Beijing, I was in ......."
Hua Shangxue told the matter as it was, briefly told her own experience and the role that Yu Mi Yao played in these times, and told her guesses and reasons, concealed the things about the prophecy, and told Qi Yuan 1510.
Listening to what Hua Shangxue and Yu Mi Yu had encountered over the years, Qi Yuan's expression changed several times, and he contemplated from time to time.
"Little aunt, although it was an accident, this matter has to be dealt with as soon as possible. After going back, tell your great-grandfather directly about it, let him go to the palace for an old man, and ask you to marry the prince, but in such a hurry, I can't say that I will let the queen mother take the opportunity to add some chips, such as letting the lord of Zhaoyang marry, I hope you can bear with it and agree, otherwise I am afraid that things will be very troublesome, if you are caught by some people, and not to mention how your marriage with the prince is, you will not be punished by the law, no matter what the result is, there will definitely be an uproar. It's a pity that if there is a big trend in hand, there will not be so much trouble. As for the matter of that Jinse, I think the reason why the prince failed was because there were sides that he couldn't touch. I'll take care of this matter, and I believe the Qi family's people can help." Qi Yuan listened to the cause and effect and gave such words.
"The general trend?" Hua Shangxue's eyes lit up, this Qi Yuan's idea actually coincided with her, "If you come to make peace as the princess of the Qiongyue Kingdom, and ask the relatives not to take concubines, otherwise the two countries will meet each other, do you think the Holy Lord will make a decree to agree?" ”
"In terms of today's rare peace, the promise will have to be agreed sooner or later, but, even if this idea is good, how could the emperor of the Qiongyue Kingdom make such a request for any princess, besides, even if the other party is willing, you are not ......" Qi Yuan suddenly stopped talking and looked at Hua Shangxue. (To be continued......)
