357. 357. Together
Soon after Qingyun and Mo Xuan returned to the inn, Li Feixue and the six or seven secret guards also arrived, and after making sure that a few people were not injured, everyone immediately retreated from the room and quietly rushed to Sima Qi's manor.
Although Uncle Leng repeatedly said that the fifth brother and the imperial sister-in-law were fine, Qingyun still couldn't rest assured, especially Mrs. Han's body was already unswerving, and Mrs. Han was in prison again, she was very worried about Mrs. Han, and now that the situation was grim, she wanted to discuss countermeasures with the fifth brother.
On the other side, Lin Ping led the soldiers to chase to a place fifty miles away, but he didn't see the figure of the ninth princess and others, he was unwilling to order the soldiers to expand the scope and continue to search, and chased forward for about twenty miles, but still found nothing.
Lin Ping was immediately angry, so he invited the soldier who reported the news to question.
The soldier was also puzzled, but still insisted that he had indeed found the Nine Princesses and the others.
Lin Ping, who had been staring at the soldier, saw that there was no trace of dodging and weakness in his eyes, and his heart was full of doubts, and at the same time, he had an ominous premonition, and hurriedly led the soldiers back to the place where Lu Jianzhi and the others were besieged.
Who knew that Lu Jianzhi and the others had long since disappeared, and there were hundreds of soldiers lying on the ground who had died of exhaustion, and the black blood on the ground had not yet coagulated, so it could be seen that not long after he died, Lin Ping's face was so angry that his face was black and blue, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly, and he slashed the soldier who reported the news with a knife, and then led people to the inn.
Knowing that the four merchants had left, the soldier who had previously offered Lin Ping to abandon Lu Zhizhi and chase after the Ninth Princess, without waiting for the angry Lin Ping to order, led people to slaughter all the people in the inn, and set fire to the inn and those who died innocently and tragically.
instructed his henchmen to send a message to Lin Taiwei and Yao Mingrong, as well as the generals of the garrisons of the other two counties, and Lin Ping led his soldiers to search for Qingyun and others and Lu Jizhi throughout the city.
He has confirmed that Lu Jianzhi came to Xinxiang secretly to meet someone this time, and the people who can make Lu Jianzhi come to meet him in danger are only the nine princesses except for the missing King of Qi.
For a time, the new township, and even the entire Tai'an County, were roaring, the doors of every house were closed, and people were panicked, but there were also many people secretly happy, the ninth princess was back, and the society and her subjects were saved!
Just when Lin Ping was vigorously searching every household, Qingyun and his party quietly came to Sima Qi's manor.
The manor here is about two hundred miles away from the capital in a valley, surrounded by mountains and dense jungles, Sima Qi accidentally found out that he liked the quiet and elegant here, and once said with a smile that he would spend the rest of his life happily with Zike in this paradise in the future, so he built the manor, and set up many mechanisms around it, and Qingyun only followed the third brother and them once.
Following the memory to avoid many mechanisms, he came to the main house in the depths of the manor, and saw Sima Qi and the others who had come out after hearing the news, Qingyun, who had recovered his original appearance, looked excited, and a faint mist gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Fifth brother, sister-in-law, aunt, I'm back!" His voice was choked and speechless.
"Jiu'er?!"
Qingyun's sudden arrival was both expected and unexpected by everyone, but seeing that she was safe and sound, everyone was relieved and rushed forward to surround her, all of them crying with joy.
Looking at the people who were safe and sound but had haggard faces, Qingyun was full of apologies: "I'm sorry, I'm late to come back, you have suffered!" ”
"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Holding Qingyun's hand tightly, Mrs. Han was both relieved and worried: "It's very hard to rush back all the way, it's really painful to see that Jiu'er has lost a lot of weight." As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Mo Xuan beside Qingyun, and regardless of everyone's presence, he reprimanded Mo Xuan mercilessly: "You stinky boy, when you left the capital, your mother repeatedly told you to take care of Jiu'er, but you didn't have ears?" Or do you have a paste in your head? Why is Jiu'er thin, but you are round and jade? ”
Hearing Mrs. Han's sentence of 'round and jade', everyone wanted to laugh, but because Mrs. Han and Mo Xuan's faces were not easy to laugh at, they had to hold back their laughter, looking at Qingyun, who was really much thinner, and felt pity and worry.
"What my mother taught me is that my son is wrong!" Mo Xuan, who was already blaming himself, had a very correct attitude.
After all, what his mother said was the truth, if he hadn't concealed the situation of the emperor and the capital, Xiyan would not have grieved and devoured his heart and caused a cold poison attack, everything was his fault.
The stubborn son took the initiative to admit his mistake, and Mrs. Han was stunned, and she couldn't say anything for a while.
Knowing that Mrs. Han really cared for herself, Qingyun was very moved: "Aunt blames Chen Yu for being wrong, I am willful, and Chen Yu has always been very good to me." ”
"Sunset!" Looking at Qingyun, Mo Xuan was distressed and moved.
"You kid, it's really angry and heartfelt, Mingji is a man*, and it is his responsibility to protect his beloved woman, and now he ...... Naturally, he was derelict in his duties! Mrs. Han pretended to sigh and said, "Come on, since Jiu'er interceded with you, I will spare you." ”
"Son Xie Mother is magnanimous!" Mo Xuan bowed.
Mrs. Han glanced at her son: "If you want to thank Jiu'er, you should thank Jiu'er, if it weren't for Jiu'er, see how your mother would clean you up!" ”
Staring deeply at Qingyun, Mo Xuan's eyes contained firmness and unapologetic affection.
The fiery and tender eyes made Qingyun blush, glared at Mo Xuan coquettishly, and then looked at Lin'er in Cai Wanting's arms.
Lin'er, who is almost a year old, looks very beautiful, maybe she recognized Qingyun, stretched out her hands to hug her, and grinned, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, which really made people cherish and love to the bones.
Hurriedly stepped forward to take Lin'er from Cai Wanting's arms and held her in her arms, a gentle smile bloomed on Qingyun's face, and she said softly: "Lin'er still remembers that I am the emperor's aunt, it's good!" ”
As if she understood Qingyun's words, Lin'er waved her white and tender little hand and patted Qingyun's cheek, babbling and screaming happily.
Qingyun was overjoyed, lowered his head and kissed Lin'er's little face gently, seeing that Mo Xuan next to him suddenly knocked over the vinegar jar, stared at Lin'er who was smiling happily in Qingyun's arms, and secretly slandered: Stinky boy, dare to rob me of Xiyan, you wait, I will definitely take good care of you!
And Cai Wanting looked at the warm Qingyun and her son, and deliberately said sourly: "Lin'er has an imperial aunt, so she forgot about my mother, my mother really loves you in vain." ”
Everyone agreed, after all, since Jiu'er left, they had all taken turns to take care of Lin'er.
Looking at Qingyun, who was faintly tired and sad between his eyebrows, Sima Qi, who had never spoken, said: "Jiu'er must be tired all the way back, let Jiu'er go back to the room to rest first, and talk about it later." ”
"King Qi is right, Jiu'er should have a good rest." Mrs. Han nodded in agreement.
