When Qi Jingyun returned home that night, it was already very late, so he didn't tell Qiao Mingyue about it, and sure enough, in the morning of the next day, the emperor issued an order to let Qi Jingyun go to Nanzhao to be a proton and set off in seven days.

Qi Jingyun still remembered Qi Jingyu's irrepressible excitement after hearing the news, thinking of this, he couldn't help but have black lines on his face, what was he excited about? I don't know if they've been sold.

After returning home, Qi Jingyun immediately told Qiao Mingyue and Mrs. Qiao of the emperor's intentions.

Qi Jingyun swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Mother, mother-in-law, this operation is too dangerous, otherwise you should leave the capital first, and I will go to you when the matter is over." ”

When Qiao Mingyue heard this, she put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "How can this be done?" It is impossible for us to leave you alone, besides, my mother and I left suddenly, according to the emperor's suspicious temperament, we will definitely be suspicious, and if the plan changes, it will only be bad for us. ”

Mrs. Qiao also said: "Yes, what Mingyue said is very right, the more times like this, the more we have to behave as usual, the family must be together to help each other, and we can't give them a chance." ”

Qi Jingyun's eyes were a little moist, he lowered his head and blinked vigorously, and said, "But since the emperor is so confident, it means that the mountain bandits on that day must not be just mountain bandits, if you are with me, I am worried about ......"

This time, Qiao Mingyue didn't say anything, but Mrs. Qiao said, "What are you afraid of?" Mingyue and I are not weak women who are powerless, at that time, we can also help you, and the three of us face it together, which is better than a hard resistance. ”

Qiao Mingyue nodded, agreeing with Mrs. Qiao's idea.

Qi Jingyun was helpless, but he had to give up the idea of letting Qiao Mingyue and Mrs. Qiao leave Beijing first, Mrs. Qiao's last few words moved him, Qiao Mingyue and Mrs. Qiao's martial arts are not low, ordinary men are not their opponents at all, even if they fail in the end, it is not a problem to save their lives, besides, he doesn't think they will lose.

In this way, all three began to prepare for the battle seven days later.

In the afternoon, an uninvited guest came to King Jin's mansion.

"Lord Wang, Gongzi Deng asks to see you."

Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue glanced at each other, what was he doing here?

Just thinking about it, Deng Xiaoxian had already walked in with two pots of wine.

"Lord Jin, Princess Jin, I'm here to drink with you!" The two wanted to know what he was going to do, so they didn't drive him out, and asked the servants to prepare some snacks, and the three of them got together like this.

After drinking a few glasses in a row, Deng Xiaoxian didn't say a word, Qiao Mingyue wondered, was he really here to drink? It can't be, it can't be that simple.

Qi Jingyun was also thinking about this question.

Drinking and drinking, Deng Xiaoxian suddenly said, "I wonder if you have heard of the Yu family's treasure map?" ”

He's here for the treasure map!

Qi Jingyun was almost imperceptible for a moment, and then said, "Treasure map? How can it be? Deng Xiaoxian, are you kidding me? ”

Deng Xiaoxian looked at him carefully and made sure that he really didn't know about the existence of a treasure map, so he said: "I didn't lie to you, there is indeed a treasure map, and it is related to your grandfather's family." I've been told that your father has collected five treasure maps, and they must still be in the palace. As long as you help me find it, I will go and tell your emperor that I don't want the prince to be a proton, and we will share the wealth equally. I don't know what the princess thinks? "He came to the capital this time to hide the treasure map, but there are not many opportunities for the envoys to enter the palace, and even if they enter the palace, they can't move around at will, if they can persuade Qi Jingyun to help him, they can save him a lot of trouble.

And Qi Jingyun still had an expression of disbelief, "How is it possible?" My grandfather's house has a treasure map, how could I not know? Don't lie to me. ”

Deng Xiaoxian saw that Qi Jingyun didn't trust him, and he was so angry that the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, "There is really a treasure map, the reason why you don't know it may be because the treasure map was found everywhere like crazy when it appeared decades ago, but no one has been able to find the treasure map completely, and later more and more people chose to give up, and over time, the rumors of the treasure map are unknown." It's just that a small group of people continue to secretly search for the whereabouts of the treasure map. ”

Qi Jingyun saw that he was rarely serious, so he believed half of it, "Then I will believe you for the time being, but after you say it, you will share half of me after you get the treasure, you can't go back." ”

Deng Xiaoxian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he finally believed it, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will do what I say, when I get the treasure map, I will go to the emperor to replace the proton candidate as soon as possible, and when I find the treasure, I will send it to you immediately." ”

"But you only have seven days, so you have to hurry!"

Qi Jingyun patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! ”

Deng Xiaoxian was drunk and drunk before Qi Jingyun sent someone to send him back to the post house.

"Lady, why did you ask me to promise to help him just now?" After Deng Xiaoxian left, Qi Jingyun asked puzzledly.

Qiao Mingyue replied: "Deng Xiaoxian came to the capital, nine times out of ten it is for the treasure map, now he is about to return to Nanzhao, he will definitely go to the doctor in a hurry, now it seems that he should have never seen the dragon blood jade pendant, I don't know what the treasure map looks like, we can make a fake treasure map for him, and with Deng Xiaoxian's help, our chances of winning will be greater." ”

Qi Jingyun also immediately understood Qiao Mingyue's thoughts, and after the two discussed, they began to ponder the production of the jade pendant. However, this plan sounds simple, but it is not easy to really implement, the main reason is that the emperor is now monitoring them all the time, in order not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, all the actions must not be too big, and at the same time, Deng Xiaoxian must think that Qi Jingyun is really looking for the jade pendant, so he still has to run to the palace from time to time, and after a few days, Qi Jingyun is also very busy.

While Qi Jingyun was busy, Qiao Mingyue was not idle, in the past few days, Qiao Mingyue has been running to the palace, but her goal is the harem.

"Queen Mother, Princess Jin asks to see you."

"Come in, please."

Hearing that Qiao Mingyue was coming, the queen was overjoyed, these days Qiao Mingyue often enters the palace, every time she enters the palace, she will bring many gadgets outside the palace to them, and now these concubines in the harem are looking forward to her entering the palace every day, they are trapped by this palace wall and can't get out, so I hope Qiao Mingyue can often bring them some things outside the palace, so that they can feel some freedom.

Qiao Mingyue came in and saw that all the palace ladies were there, so she hurriedly saluted, "See the queen's mother, see all the ladies and sisters." ”
