Chapter 182: The Son of the Qiang Kingdom
The more Yun Chan thought about it, the deeper the resentment towards Yun Yan in her heart.
On the other side, Yunyan, who had just arrived at Hazelnut City, a border town in the Qiang Kingdom, sneezed heavily.
"County Lord, are you suffering from the wind cold?" Haoxue heard Yunyan sneezing, and suddenly became a little nervous, the more she went north, the colder the weather became, and the temperature difference between day and night was very large along the way, and Gu Sanniang was still reminding her that she must add clothes in time.
"No, I always feel like someone is talking about me." Yunyan chuckled, it was true that she was not uncomfortable, she just sneezed like this suddenly.
"Now we have arrived at Hazelnut City, which is the border town of the Qiang Kingdom, and is famous for its abundance of hazelnuts." Haoxue lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, and now they were passing through the busiest street, most of which were lined with vendors selling hazelnuts.
Yunyan also glanced at it, but she thought it was interesting, but now they still had things to do, and they couldn't stay too long, so they could only put down the curtain: "Where are we going now?" It seems that it is not early, so I must be looking for a place to stay, right? ”
Hao Xue nodded: "We will go to the City Lord's Mansion in a while, the Sect Master has already contacted here, and we will live in the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Yun Yan knew that Yun Dao Rui had the ability, but she really didn't expect that Yun Dao Rui would be able to let her live directly in the City Lord's Mansion in Guancheng City.
After a while, the carriage gradually stopped, and Gu Sanniang lifted the curtain from outside: "We're here, get off." ”
Yunyan's bones were about to fall apart along the way, and when he heard Gu Sanniang say such a sentence, he only felt as if he had been pardoned, and he didn't care about letting Haoxue support him, so he got up and jumped out of the car directly.
There are already people in the city lord's mansion to greet him, looking at the outfit should be the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion, he is already old, his hair is a little white, and when he saw Yunyan getting out of the car, he took the maid to greet him: "The city lord is already waiting for you inside, please come with the old slave." ”
Yunyan subconsciously glanced at Gu Sanniang, and when she saw that she nodded at herself, she followed with confidence.
This city lord and Yundao Market are old acquaintances, so they naturally know Gu Sanniang, and when they see Gu Sanniang, they greet them warmly, and a reception banquet is also arranged very carefully.
After Yunyan and the others had a good meal, they chatted with the city lord, and then went back to the guest room to wash up and rest.
In the next few days, Yunyan and the others plan to familiarize themselves with the city first, and then make full preparations for their future actions, first of all, they must have a good understanding of the customs, customs and etiquette of the Qiang Kingdom.
So in the city lord's mansion, Yunyan and the others lived in peace.
Haoxue was still thinking about hazelnuts, so on the second day, Yunyan said hello to Gu Sanniang and went directly to the market, wanting to buy some hazelnuts and come back to taste them.
It's just that Yunyan didn't expect that just such a stroll, she could see a familiar face.
She walked slowly on the street with Haoxue, with the hazelnuts she had bought in her hand, Haoxue, like her, had a strong interest in everything around her, so she looked around, looking like she had never seen the world.
Just as they passed around a corner, Yun Yan suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
"Li Zimo?" Yunyan was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of the figure.
"Isn't Imperial Chef Li gone? How could it be here? Hao Xue heard what Yun Yan said and looked in the direction where Yun Yan looked, there was indeed a man standing there, this man's figure and Li Zimo can be said to be exactly the same, but this outfit is clearly the costume of the Qiang Kingdom.
Indeed, Li Zimo said that he was going home soon after helping Yunyan get out of danger and then said goodbye to them, and Yunyan also went to see Li Zimo off at that time, the direction was clearly opposite to the Qiang country, how could it appear in the Qiang country?
Yunyan didn't dare to rush up to ask, but looking at his outfit, it was obvious that he was also from a rich family, so he went to find a restaurant and asked the most popular junior in the restaurant: "Do you know who that son is?" ”
The little second saw a lot of people in the restaurant, and as Yunyan's fingers looked, he chuckled: "I'm afraid the girl is not a local, this son has a big reputation." ”
Yunyan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao Er, obviously wanted to ask for some benefits, and stopped halfway through speaking, so Yun Yan raised his hand and threw a silver ingot into his hand, Xiao Er was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "This is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Mu Family of the Qiang Country, and this Mu Family is the big family of the Qiang Country." ”
Yunyan's heart sank, the son of a big family?!
This identity really surprised Yunyan, originally she only thought that the temperament on Li Zimo's body should be something that would only exist after staying in the palace for a long time, but now that she thinks about it, I am afraid that it was piled up with gold and silver since childhood.
Yunyan only sat down lightly, let Xiao Er serve a table of dishes, and then began to eat, and after eating, they went back.
When it was time for dinner, Yunyan specially toasted the city lord with two more glasses of wine, and then began to inquire about the Mu family.
"A few years ago, Mu Mo, the son of the Mu family, came to settle here for a while, but I don't know what the reason was, this son disappeared for a while, but he came back two days ago, and he often visited the market as before.
Yunyan frowned slightly, the time of appearance and disappearance was related to Li Zimo, even the cooking was the same as Li Zimo, if this Mu Mo was really Li Zimo, why did he go to Haoyue Country? And became the emperor's imperial chef? Could it be some conspiracy?!
The more he thought about it, the more Yunyan felt that Li Zimo was not an idle person, he must have some ulterior secrets, and the purpose of his trip to Haoyue Country was definitely not simple.
On the other side, Zhao Mingsheng and Sun Yu began to prepare for the return of the class to the court because of the great victory over the enemy, and Zhao Guifei naturally knew about it, and she called Qiu Hui to her in advance: "This time Zhao Mingsheng and they are on the way back to the capital, no matter what, they will get rid of Sun Yu, and at the same time Zhao Mingsheng will also be executed." ”
Zhao Mingsheng?! Qiu Hui was stunned, she really didn't expect that Zhao Guifei would ask her to execute Zhao Mingsheng together, although there was not much intersection between her and Zhao Mingsheng, but she really had some different thoughts about Zhao Mingsheng in her heart.
But since Zhao Guifei had already handed her over to explain such a task, she had no position to refuse, so Qiu Hui had no choice but to agree to Zhao Guifei on the surface in order to protect herself.
But when she returned to the organization, she really didn't know what to do, and she told Zhao Jiezhi that Zhao Guifei was going out of Zhao Mingsheng.
"What? Do you want to tell Zhao Mingsheng about Zhao Guifei's desire to execute Zhao Mingsheng now? Zhao Jiezhi sneered: "Qiuhui, don't forget, what did I teach you on the first day you became a killer?!" ”
"Killers, you can't have feelings." Qiu Hui replied softly, after all, she was a little unbearable and very reluctant in her heart.
"Since you know, don't be emotional, if you are emotional, you will not get anything good, and in the end, the word love will only become a sharp blade to kill yourself!" Zhao Jiezhi said, walked up to the height, and looked at Qiuhui: "Do you know what you should do now?" ”
Qiu Hui nodded, and resolutely turned around, but she knew in her heart that even if the disguise was normal, there was something more in her heart after all.
At the border gate, Zhao Mingsheng and Sun Yu, who were about to go back, were waiting for the report of the last group of people who went to look for Yunyan.
"Why are you still so worried about Yunyan?" Sun Yu said, really a little puzzled: "You also saw the letter left by Yunyan before, and you also knew that she was going out for a walk, and all the people in the Daoxu Sect had disappeared, obviously accompanied Yunyan, there are so many good hands by Yunyan's side, what are you worried about?" ”
Zhao Mingsheng lowered his head, he also knew that what Sun Yu said was true, on the surface, Yunyan did go out to relax under the protection of the master of the Daoxu Sect, but he didn't know why, there was always a voice in his heart saying that Yunyan didn't go out to relax at all, she didn't go out to take a walk voluntarily.
Zhao Mingsheng took the letter that claimed to be written by Yunyan in his hand, and looked at it repeatedly, the handwriting was indeed very similar to Yunyan's handwriting, but he didn't know why, he just couldn't fully believe that these words were written by Yunyan.
"I don't know, I just think it's very wrong, if you think about it carefully, if Yunyan really planned to go out for a walk, with her character, she would definitely tell us directly, and she wouldn't have agreed to let us go to see the light, but she suddenly disappeared when we went to buy rock sugar gourds.
She is a girl who knows how to take care of other people's feelings, and she must know that if she leaves like this, we will definitely panic and worry about her. Zhao Mingsheng said, frowning again: "Moreover, it is not unheard of to imitate handwriting, there was not a case in the capital before, and the murderer met the victim by imitating the handwriting of the victim's relatives and went to the city to kill him?" ”
Sun Yu listened but still disagreed: "If it is according to what you said, why have all the people of the Daoxu Sect disappeared, if Yunyan really encountered any danger, and was really kidnapped by someone, the Daoxu Sect can leave one or two people here to inform us, but there are many people in the barracks, and there are more chances of winning if they are found, right?" ”
Zhao Mingsheng lowered his head, indeed, what Sun Yu said was also sour and reasonable, but in the end, he was not steadfast in his heart, Yunyan had no news when he left, and even he sent someone back to ask in the capital, but Yunyan did not return to the county lord's mansion.
At this time, the person who went to look for Yunyan finally returned, and Zhao Mingsheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What clues can you find?" ”
