Chapter 514: Entering the Palace
After hearing the news brought by the visitor, Xiao Jing suddenly couldn't figure out the situation.
There was a fire in the palace?
Isn't Chen Borui already in control of the situation, how can this burn? Could it be that King Zhao is in turmoil?
Xiao Jing was still thinking about it, and the person who delivered the letter gave him an even more incomprehensible instruction:
Xia Honghan instructed him to go back to the Xia Mansion as soon as possible, on the grounds that there must be someone who can take care of things at home, and now he and the old lady are not there, for fear that something will happen to the family due to the situation outside.
What are you kidding, even if the head of the family is not there, the Xia family is also a place with strict laws, neither the housekeeper nor Mrs. Xia is easy to match, how can he not have an uncle with a foreign surname?
Despite this, Yuezhang's words couldn't help but listen - so, he instructed Xiaoya a few words and left with the others.
At this moment, Xiao Jing thought that even if he arrived outside the city, he would have to stay for one night before entering the city, but when he arrived, he found that the city gate was actually wide open, but there were many soldiers with torches nearby, and those who came in and out, whether it was a messenger with a waist card or the soldiers of other battalions, were subject to extremely strict interrogation.
Even Xiao Jing, who was holding the highest-level token of the Xia family, was no exception. Slightly different from the others, the janitor was obviously a lot more polite to him, but the body search or something was still the same.
Back in the Xia Mansion, Xiao Jing went to greet his mother-in-law first.
Strangely, Mrs. Xia also knew very little about what was going on outside - both of them were blinded, and neither of them knew what was going on at night.
With a stomach full of doubts, Xiao Jing saw Xia Hanxue and Qin Ziqian.
"It's rare, our Qin University reporter is actually at home?" Xiao Jing went up to get close to Ziqian, but she threw her away, so she turned around and hugged Xue'er, who was standing aside: "It's really pitiful to be a husband, and I can see you for half a year this year...... Hey, I remember that a few days ago, Xiaoya said that you have an interview mission, and you will explain it at home today...... I was grounded by my father-in-law again, right? ”
Xia Hanxue smiled and broke away from his arms, and said, "The child heard that you are coming back and haven't slept yet, husband, don't do that." I haven't seen you for a few days, but my cousin misses you so much, so don't talk to her about any pot. ”
Xiao Jing squeezed his eyes and asked, "Ziqian misses me, doesn't Xue'er want to?" ”
Before the shy Xia Hanxue could reply, Qin Ziqian on the side said coldly: "I don't want to stay at home, just because I feel annoyed by watching others talk about me all day long...... If you two have nothing to do, you should rest early, I still have a manuscript to write, so I won't accompany you. ”
Saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Xia Hanxue: "Cousin, didn't you say that you had something important to tell him before your husband came back?" Why are you leaving, aren't you afraid that he will accuse you of always running out without permission and locking you up at home to enjoy the thrush for a few days? ”
Qin Ziqian, who was told the central matter, turned his head with a red face and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, who is so rare ...... him?"
Before she finished speaking, she heard Xia Hanxue say to Xiao Jing: "Husband, there are some things that the concubine has not finished yet, and besides, Yan'er has not slept yet, so it is better to put him to sleep, and it is not too late for him to see you tomorrow...... The concubine will go first, let your cousin accompany you. ”
With that, she threw Qin Ziqian a playful look and walked away quickly.
Qin Ziqian, who was so ashamed that she stomped her feet, suddenly felt that she was being hugged from behind, and couldn't help but sigh.
After a long time, she turned around and hugged her beloved who had been thinking about her day and night......
Under the moonlight, the two people who gathered less and separated more enjoyed a rare beauty and tranquility.
I don't know how long it took for the two to quietly separate. Xiao Jing took her hand and sat on the nearby stone steps, and said softly, "What does Madame want to say to her husband?" When Xue'er was there, your eyes were clearly blaming me for only caring about my children's affection, and now that I have talked about it, and it is with you, don't blame your husband? ”
Qin Ziqian pinched his waist. Xiao Jing pretended to be in pain and exclaimed loudly, Ziqian smiled contentedly, and quickly put away her smile and said, "Husband, I saw some clues outside some time ago. According to my analysis, the Xia family is also deeply involved in this matter, and I am afraid that it is a matter of abolition ......."
Halfway through her words, she looked around for a while before continuing: "Judging from the information I have gathered, it is the old lady who is in charge of the Xia family this time, and the uncle is just a handicap. ”
Xiao Jing nodded. The fact that the old fox hidden behind the back personally means that the Xia family is serious, so their plot will definitely not be small.
"Because I am often around the area, I see a lot of unusual signs." Qin Ziqian groaned: "As early as a month ago, there were several armies secretly moving near the capital. There are some units that I don't know what they are, but there are a few others...... It seems to have something to do with the Xia family. ”
Xiao Jing raised his head in some surprise and said, "How do you know ......?"
Qin Ziqian said angrily: "How come I grew up in my uncle's house, even if my uncle is secretive about this kind of thing and will never mention it to his family, I have faintly heard some of them since I was a child." It is taboo for Wenchen to befriend military generals, but after all, the Xia family is from a martial arts background, and they have no contempt for martial artists, and his uncle is quite secretive, so he should have established a lot of relationships over the years.
The generals of the armies I met were the same people who had dealings with my uncle. Of course, they may have been appointed by the imperial court, but I always felt that things were not that simple...... Husbands should also be careful. ”
Xiao Jing pondered the news he heard before, and his heart was a little inexplicably excited, but it was also accompanied by a little fear.
Could it be that the Xia family is really plotting something?
If that's the case, why don't you know anything about it? Think about the fact that Xia Honghan wanted to use the mirror newspaper to promote it but stopped at the last moment - do they have any scruples?
While he was thinking, the disturbing messenger came again.
This time, the order he came from startled Qin Ziqian:
"The head of the family ordered my uncle to enter the palace immediately under the escort of the villain and others!"
What the? You are not mistaken, right?
There was already a fire in the palace, and I knew with my knees that there was a mess - although I could kill the enemy with a sword, I was no different from an ordinary pawn when I got there, so why did you ask me to go there?
Xiao Jing carefully looked at the man a few times and found that he was indeed a familiar face, so he let go of the idea of "is it someone with bad intentions who is using a trick".
Combined with Qin Ziqian's words just now, he had a vague premonition of something.
Standing up and straightening his clothes, Xiao Jing couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
Whatever, as long as he goes this time, countless mysteries in his heart can be solved!
Whether it's Chen Borui or Master Yue, please don't be impatient - this seat is here!
