When Qi Lichen received this embroidery picture from the prime minister's hand, he was still a little puzzled, until the other party said that Xi Muyun specially embroidered it, and then he held the embroidery picture tightly in his hand.

didn't expect Xi Muyun to give him an embroidery picture at such a time, and he thought that Xi Muyun would never forgive him.

He sighed deeply, and said for a long time: "I know what the Prime Minister means, if I want to meet Xi Muyun earlier, I have to do what you say, I know." ”

"It's good that Gongzi Qi knows, otherwise, Miss Xi's life will be gone, and I will leave first if I still have something to do." After the man finished speaking, he left immediately, and Qi Lichen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Did Xi Muyun say anything when he handed this thing to you?" ”

"I haven't met Miss Xi, but I heard what Mr. Qin meant to say that Miss Xi is very sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to see you, so I will give you this thing, but don't worry, we will do what we say, and we will definitely not deceive people." After the man finished speaking, he did not make any more stops, and turned and left the inn.

Qi Lichen took a deep breath, "She's so smart, she should think of leaving some clues here." ”

He immediately returned to his room and unfolded the embroidery.

It can be seen that the stitches on it are crooked and twisted by novices, and the content is also different, and it is barely possible to see the content embroidered on it.

The main reason is that the pattern of the mandarin duck playing in the water is too common, and most of the embroidery stalls outside and the red-covered books are such patterns, a version, a pattern, so when you see such a high road, it is easy to remind people of the mandarin duck playing in the water, but the animals on it are not like mandarin ducks, but a bit like geese in the north.

It is said that the mandarin ducks are playing in the water, but where the mandarin ducks are half-hidden, there is no blue water mark, only the grass of withered yellow and grass green mixed with one by one.

Bai Bing left, came in and saw Qi Lichen, took a picture and looked at it seriously, and said: "This is like the north, these two birds are a bit like wild geese, the wild geese will spend time in the north in spring and summer, and they will return to the south when the weather is cold." ”

"North?" Qi Lichen frowned, "Xi Muyun knows that we are now in the capital, north of the capital, where there is grass, grassland. ”

"I just said that the habits of wild geese are not necessarily in the north." Bai Bing said immediately.

"Look at the grass on this, more green than yellow, it should be the midsummer season, and the midsummer geese, and there is no meaning of flying south, the weather is not cold enough, the silver silk thread on this is intermittent, if you look carefully, it seems to be several circles, if you look at it together, it seems to be the Big Dipper, the direction of the Big Dipper is above, and the above is the north and what you said before complement each other, it should be this meaning, above the grassland in the north, and they should not go too deep, although there is a large grassland, We just need to find the edge of the border with me. The more Qi Lichen liked to talk, the more excited he became, "That's it, send someone to find it." ”

Bai Bing gritted his teeth, "The subordinates came in to give the pavilion master a message, and the emperor is about to leave." ”

"How can it be so fast, isn't it about the dam, he is very satisfied, does he want to stay a few more days?" Qi Lichen frowned and said.

"Because the five princes have widely implemented benevolent governance, the people appreciate it very much, plus a series of things like opening the treasury to help the victims and reducing taxes, it can't be done in Yanzhou, not to mention that the emperor has already got the answer he wants, so he has to go back This time on the way back to Beijing, such a long distance is the weakest defense, if we want to do it, we can only take this opportunity." Bai Bing said: "I'm afraid that if you do it to the emperor this time, you will have to do it with all the strength of the whole cabinet." ”

Qi Lichen frowned, "It seems that there is only one choice." ”

"Is this still a choice? The Five Princes have already brought what we want, and they just need to complete the transaction well, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Bai Bing said anxiously.

"But if you give those treasures to the prime minister, it will be endless troubles." Qi Lichen frowned and said: "Now that the prime minister and I are incompatible, what kind of big waves can Qingyu Pavilion make after hollowing out the money and manpower of Qingyu Pavilion?" ”

Bai Bing gritted his teeth and knew that what Qi Lichen said was right, but he missed such an eternal opportunity, and he didn't know when the next opportunity would be.

He didn't want to let go of this opportunity, he thought for a long time, and then asked, "What does the pavilion master want to do?" All the subordinates listen to the pavilion master. ”

Qi Lichen smiled faintly, and then said: "I only bet on this once, now I will start to suspend the sale of all the properties of Qingyu Pavilion, and assign people to investigate this place, it should not be too far away, remember not to let people find out that there is anything wrong, and to investigate secretly." ”

"If there is no kidnapping of Miss Xi this time, Pavilion Master, will you choose to attack the emperor this time?" Bai Bing asked.

Qi Lichen raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him, "There is no if, what happened is already happening, don't assume so much, do what I say." ”

Bai Bing retreated with some regret, wanting to let the emperor leave the palace again, I don't know what year and month it will happen, it is obviously a shortcut to complete the plan, but at this time it can only be gloomy.

Qi Lichen also knew that he had been dormant for decades just to wait for such an opportunity, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would not wait, and he would lose both people and money.

But he doesn't regret it, no matter how many times he doesn't regret it, maybe he was still confused before, but now he doesn't regret what he did at all.

Qingyu Pavilion almost sent most of the people to the north to find that place, and there were only a few people left who were sent to the emperor's side, just keeping a close eye on the emperor's movements, that's all, I'm afraid there is no way to do it with these few people alone.

Qi Lichen also asked them if they didn't know that they were from other places, and the herdsmen unanimously replied no.

People who live on the grassland every day are very different from people from other places, they will know when they smell each other's body, people who live on the grassland are accompanied by cattle, sheep and horses, so their bodies will be more or less stained with a little smell of animals, but the merchants from other places will not have it.

So they were sure that there were no outsiders, and since they were not in the herders' settlements, where would they be? Then there is only a place where the wilderness can hide.

When their people were about to return in vain, a man suddenly appeared and said, "Looking for someone from another place? Only appeared a few days ago? However, some time ago, I saw a pair of caravans pulling building materials into it, all of which were some big woods, bricks or something, but I don't know where to go, the direction should be to the west, there are deserts, and there are a few small hills and mountains without high grass, so the herdsmen don't like to go there, but desolate. ”

After they learned the news, they felt that that place was really very likely, who would pull building materials and construction things in this kind of place at this time?

Just as he was thinking, suddenly two people came over scolding.

"In the past two days, I have eaten dry food, and I am about to vomit when I eat rice porridge, such a good place, such a fat beef and mutton can't come out to buy some, wouldn't it be a disappointment to this line?" One of them said.

"Fortunately, Mr. Qin is not here today, otherwise I don't know what to say, let's buy it back, find a random place outside to roast and eat, and it's not too late to go back after eating." Another said.
