After listening to Xu Liang's explanation, Qingcheng looked at his mother-in-law, she was still wearing the old clothes, and her heart was always thinking of her son. Thinking of this, Qingcheng secretly felt unbearable, and felt a feeling in his heart.

Although Wang's sister-in-law said that she was crazy and her memory was a little confused, she was particularly concerned about her son's affairs, Qingcheng only asked about this thing last time, and told her that there was no need to search urgently, but as a mother, she still searched day and night. finally found what his son wanted, Xu was worried that there would be an emergency, so he didn't dare to delay for a while, so he came to his son in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Qingcheng sighed lightly, and said with concern to his sister-in-law: "Mother, didn't you say it, this thing is not urgent, why do you send it in person." ”

I haven't seen Qingcheng for a few days, Sister-in-law Wang is very worried, and when she finally saw it today, she was overjoyed, and waved her hand again and again and said: "It's okay, my mother can still walk, walk more." I'm worried that you have an urgent need for this thing, and I'm afraid that it will be delayed, so let's take a look, is it this burden? ”

Wang's sister-in-law was worried about her son, but she was relieved to see that everything was fine in Qingcheng, and hurriedly asked Qingcheng to inspect the objects. After Qingcheng took the burden from Sister-in-law Wang's hand, he was not in a hurry to take it apart, but frowned and said: "Mother, the big things are not as important as your health, you have to be kind to yourself in the future, otherwise I can't rest assured." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter to my mother, my mother will rest assured when you marry your daughter-in-law, and someone will take care of your mother at that time."

What Sister-in-law Wang said was actually what Qingcheng was most worried about. Maybe Qingcheng can deceive her for a while, but how can he deceive her for a lifetime? Sooner or later, there will be a day when she will be told the truth, and when the time comes, will it really be as Qingcheng wishes, will Sister-in-law Wang accept it calmly?

"Hey, the left and right are just leaving here with the eldest mother, and I will take care of them for the rest of my life. Let's take a look at what secrets are in this thing first. ”

Thinking like this, Qingcheng pondered for a moment, left here with the three of them, found a secluded place, looked around, and saw that there was no suspicious person, and then he relieved himself to open the burden that Wang Daniu left for his mother.

"It's ......"

Qingcheng opened the baggage, and there were three things that came into view, one of which was a silver ingot, and it was not surprising that it was official silver. There are three in the baggage, and four in Qingcheng's hand. In addition, Qingcheng also suspected that what he saw in the hands of King Guhong that day should also be Wang Daniu's.

Mu Huang didn't know why, let alone why Qingcheng was in a hurry to ask for this thing, but after she saw the three silver ingots, she also seemed to be suspicious. I saw her brows furrowed slightly, picked up one of them, and asked tentatively, "Auntie, is this your son's?" ”

"Yes, Da Niu earned money after joining the army, and these are all left to me by him. Originally, there were five coins in total, but I was afraid that he would have a place to use money when he went out, and I was afraid that he would spend it indiscriminately, so I asked him to bring two coins. I have to keep the rest for my son to use as a parent. ”

Saying that, Sister-in-law Wang also looked at Mu Huang with a smile, looking very kind. And Qingcheng naturally didn't pay attention to these things, but captured the information revealed in Wang's sister-in-law's words.

"Sure enough, there are five, and most of the ones in the hands of King Guhong are the remaining ones. It seems that King Guhong and Xu Lin also discovered this clue, but he didn't tell him, so it should be more than I am wary. I just don't know how they checked. ”

Thinking of this, Qingcheng suddenly realized a problem. If the official silver in King Guhong's hand is really Wang Da Niu's, it can only be found on his body, and Wang Da Niu is dead, and there is only one family member around him, Wang Da Niu. And if King Guhong knew about Wang Daniu, then Wang's sister-in-law would definitely become their target. In this way, Sister-in-law's situation is not optimistic.

King Guhong is different from Qingcheng, in order to find out the truth, he will not have many scruples, and even a big punishment will not be ruled out. Thinking of this, Qingcheng gasped, and then realized that he had not protected his sister-in-law before, which was indeed an omission.

"No, in the future, I still have to find a few trustworthy people to protect the eldest lady, at least before the truth is revealed, and we can't let her fall into the hands of others."

Thinking like this, Qingcheng reached out and took back the silver ingot in Mu Huang's hand, put it back in the baggage, and picked up the second thing.

"This, this is a drawing?" Looking at the object in front of him, Mu Huang asked.

Indeed, the second object in the baggage is a map, like a map, pointing in a direction. After Qingcheng looked closely, he found that this object, which looked like a map, should point to a direction on the sea.

"It's supposed to be a map, but there is no place name on it, not even a word, just a general direction, how does that make people look at it? Also, what kind of place will it lead? ”

Qingcheng pondered the origin and purpose of this drawing, and even picked it up and looked through the daylight to see if there was any hidden information. And at this moment, Mu Huang unexpectedly found that there was a word on the back of this drawing. But it was a word she didn't recognize.

"Duan Qingcheng! Look, there's a word here! ”

Hearing Mu Huang's words, Qingcheng raised his eyebrows and hurriedly turned over to check. And I don't know, after seeing it, Qingcheng was puzzled for a while, just because of the origin of this word.

"What kind of word is this, why don't I recognize it?"

"Naturally, you don't know it", Qingcheng frowned, looked at the foreign text in front of him, and continued: "Because this is Haichuan's text. ”

"What! Is this the word for Haichuan? This, this ......"

Hearing Qingcheng's words, Mu Huang and Xu Liang were both shocked. Wang Daniu doesn't know a few big characters, let alone Haichuan Chinese. So why did such an object appear in his baggage? In fact, Qingcheng does not have much research on Haichuan's writing, but Haichuan's writing is supported by Huaxia, and this character is relatively special, so unexpectedly, Qingcheng does know it.

"This is the word 'order', which is used to pass orders in Haichuan's army, and Haichuan's senior generals should all wear tokens engraved with this word. Actually, I haven't studied Haichuan much either, but this character is very common in Haichuan's army, and I once read a certain general's book "Haichuan Battle Essentials", so I have seen it. ”

Qingcheng explained, Mu Huang was even more puzzled, he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so he had to ask, "Why does the eldest mother's son have this thing?" According to what you said, it should be for the convenience of acting in the army, but why did he go to the Haichuan military camp? ”

Mu Huang's question also bothered Qingcheng, but the latter had doubts about Wang Daniu's disappearance and rumors from the outside world before, and seeing such a thing today, Qingcheng was even more convinced of his inference, and gradually sorted out a clue that became clearer and clearer.

Wang Daniu was not selling smuggled salt at all, but someone instructed him to fornicate with Haichuan and promised a lot of money. The word 'order' is to prove his identity on Haichuan's side, and this drawing should be his route map to Haichuan's station. Wang Daniu didn't know a few big characters, so he didn't indicate the name of the location. But what could this be the place? Doesn't it mean that pirates have no fixed place to live? So why is there such a drawing? ”

With all kinds of doubts and doubts, Qingcheng picked up the last item in the baggage.

Another piece of paper. However, what is depicted on this piece of paper is not a route, but a landscape, or more precisely, a landscape on the sea. After thinking about it again, Qingcheng felt that this should be a place near Linhai City, but he was not from Linhai City, so he really couldn't see where it was for a while.

And while Qingcheng was thinking silently, Mu Huang, who saw the last object, seemed to be thinking for a while. Unlike the previous two objects, this last one was somewhat familiar to her.

"This, how can this place feel so familiar, as if I have seen it."

Hearing Mu Huang say this, Qingcheng was a little puzzled, she was not from Linhai City, how could she have a familiar place?

"Mu Huang is familiar with the place...... Yes! There it is! ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Qingcheng's mind, and he hurriedly glanced at a certain place on the painting, thought carefully for a while, and finally determined what he was thinking. At this point, Qingcheng's face finally showed a satisfied smile, and it seemed that most of the doubts in his heart had been solved.

"Understood, all understood. Why did Wang Da Niu die in the mine, why did he tell others that he had sold smuggled salt, why was the ambush so strange today, and why did the pirates have such a map when they had no fixed residence. I get it all! ”

What did Qingcheng know? This is also a question that Mu Huang and Xu Lin don't understand, but Qingcheng looked at the two of them, and said with a chuckle: "I know that you two are still puzzled, but now is not the place to speak, I will explain it to you in detail when I return to the barracks." Right now, we need to do a lot of things, and we used to worry about how to go to war, but now we don't have to think about it so much. In addition, that Kamiizumi Shingen has ambushed me many times today, and now I have finally found a chance for revenge! ”

After speaking, Qingcheng put the three items away, tied the burden and hugged it in his arms, and then said to Wang's sister-in-law: "Mother, this thing is really useful for my son, so I won't give it to you." My son still has urgent things to do in the army, and I'll go home to see you later, so go back first. Xu Liang, help me find a few trustworthy people to protect my mother. ”

Listening to the words of Qingcheng and Xu Liang, Sister-in-law Wang waved her hand again and again, and said: "If you have something to do, hurry up and get busy, my mother doesn't need to be protected, I really don't need to." If you have time, go home and have a meal, and your mother will be content. ”

Mothers in the world don't drag down their children, but sometimes, all they want is a common meal. Listening to Sister-in-law Wang's words, Qingcheng couldn't bear it for a while, but at the moment, there were indeed a lot of important things, and he couldn't take care of anything else.

He replied that he would, which made Sister-in-law Wang a lot happier, and then she was ready to go back to the barracks. Mu Huang on the side looked at Qingcheng and completely forgot what he had promised him, and said angrily: "You, you person, just promised to invite me to dinner, and now you have forgotten?" Okay, let me tell you Duan Qingcheng, now you regret going, I won't eat your food, and I don't plan to forgive you, hum! ”

After speaking, Mu Huang walked away angrily. And thinking of what he had promised to the other party just now, Qingcheng was indeed a little guilty, standing in place and shaking his head with a wry smile.

"Son, a manly husband must be able to stretch and bend, and when people are angry, you will coax you, your daughter's face is thin, you can't wait stupidly."

Sister-in-law Wang stared at the direction of Mu Huang's departure, and for a long time, she said this to Qingcheng in a serious tone, which surprised Qingcheng. Mu Huang was not dressed as a daughter, but he didn't want to be seen by his sister-in-law. And Xu Liang, who didn't know why on the side, scratched his head as if asking, what about his daughter's house? Where?

"Mother, you misunderstood, we are not that kind of relationship, we are friends."

"You, you're stupid", Sister-in-law Wang rarely knocked Qingcheng's head, and said with a little anger: "People obviously have a good impression of you, but you don't know it, you know the important things in the army with one mind, and the important things in the army." Let me tell you, my mother is here, and I won't be mistaken. ”

"Huh? Mu Huang has a crush on me? Won't it......"
