Chapter 644: Farewell Without Saying Goodbye
Qi Ning frowned, glanced to the east, and asked, "Something happened over there?" What's up? ”
Qi Feng leaned in and whispered: "It's a mess over there now, let's take a look from a distance, the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty are searching inside and outside the courtyard, and some people go directly to the back garden, it seems that they are looking for those Qinghai-Tibetan lamas."

"They all looked flustered, and they looked like they had no masters." Wu Dalin also said in a low voice: "But from beginning to end, I didn't see Beitang Feng and Yu Wang Ye appearing, even the Fire God Monarch and others who followed Beitang Feng's side, and there was no trace. ”
Qi Ningqi said: "Could it be that you lost something?" ”
Qi Feng said: "Looking at them going out to search, it seems that they are looking for something." Just now, that Tao Shangshu was called over again, and entered their courtyard, and we sent someone to keep an eye on it, but after a while, Tao Shangshu left in a hurry, looking very anxious. ”
At this moment, he saw that Li Tang had already hurried over, entered the courtyard, saw Qi Ning, and hurriedly came over, Qi Feng had already taken two steps and asked, "How is the situation?" ”
Li Tang arched his hand to Qi Ning and said: "Master Hou, when I went to the back garden, I watched from a distance, and a group of soldiers from the Northern Han Dynasty broke through, obviously looking for trouble with those Qinghai-Tibetan lamas, but I saw them coming in and out, and those Qinghai-Tibetan lamas did not appear, as if they were ..... It's all gone. ”
"The Tibetan Lama is gone?" Qi Ning was stunned, groaned slightly, and ordered: "Qi Feng, you keep an eye on the Northern Han people, what you said is right, something must have happened to them." ”
Qi Feng and the others all obeyed the order to retreat, Qi Ning asked people to fetch water to wash their faces and change clothes, but in their hearts, they were thinking about what happened to the Northern Han Dynasty, why did those Northern Han soldiers go to Gong Taxi's trouble, and did the matter have anything to do with those lamas?
It didn't take long for Qi Feng to come back in a hurry and say, "Master Hou, it's clear, it's ...... missing!" ”
"Missing?"
Qi Feng said: "Lord Yu...... Prince Yu and Beitang Feng are missing, and there are ...... There are also Huoshenjun and two other personal attendants of Beitang Feng, these people are gone, and the Northern Han people searched around in the post house, but they didn't see any trace of them at all. They knew that those lamas had an enmity with Beitangfeng, so they rushed over there to see if the lamas had taken Beitangfeng away, but the lamas were also missing, and there was no trace. ”
Qi Ning frowned and asked, "Didn't the guards of the post house see Beitangfeng and them go out?" ”
Qi Feng said: "The four gates of the post house are guarded by Eastern Qi soldiers, and if you come in from the outside, you must be strictly searched, even if you go out from the inside, you will also count the number of people." After Prince Yu came out of the Qi Palace yesterday, he returned directly to the post house, and Beitangfeng did not go out, and when he was patrolling last night, some people saw the lamas of Gong Tashi walking around the Xiyuan. However, the guards all said that from last night to today, none of the Han people left the museum, even those lamas, and none of them went out. ”
Qi Ning touched his chin, thoughtfully, and only asked after a moment: "In this way, it was those lamas who kidnapped Prince Yu and the others and left?" ”
Qi Feng shook his head and said, "Master Hou, I don't think this possibility is very high. Those lamas hated Beitang Feng to the core, they had already left Dongqi, but because of Beitang Feng, they were delayed here, if they had the ability to hijack Beitang Feng from Dongyuan, they didn't have to wait until this time. And the people of the Northern Han Dynasty knew that those lamas had been staring at them, so they were on guard day and night, and it was impossible to relax. ”
"You're right." Qi Ning bowed slightly: "And it is Beitang Feng who has a grudge against Gong Tashi and others, Gong Taxi and they robbed Beitang Feng, why did even Prince Yu hijack him?" What's more, how could the Fire God Monarch and the others suddenly disappear, no matter how great their ability was, Gong Taxi and they didn't have the ability to steal that group of people from the East Garden quietly. ”
Qi Feng was puzzled: "Master Hou, these people disappeared at the same time, they must be related, but the guards didn't find any trace of their departure at all, what is the strange thing in the middle?" ”
Qi Ning was puzzled in his heart, but after half an hour, Wu Dalin also hurried over and said: "Master Hou, the Eastern Qi people have transferred a group of soldiers and horses over, and they have surrounded the post house, and they also said that no one is allowed to enter or leave the post house until they find Prince Yu and Beitang Feng." ”
Qi Feng sneered beside him: "In this way, even we can't go in and out at will? ”
Wu Dalin said: "The leader of the troops who came over was the commander of the guards of the Qi Palace, he said that this was the meaning of the monarch of Eastern Qi, and said that the matter will be clear soon, let's not mind." ”
Qi Feng was about to speak, but Qi Ning raised his hand and said: "This can't be blamed on them, the sudden disappearance of the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty has a lot to do with it, and it is not unreasonable for them to do so." Team Leader Wu, you also told the brothers, stay here in Xiyuan, don't move around at will, keep your place, let's not go out for the time being, but anyone who wants to enter Xiyuan is a Dongqi person, and they must also get my permission. ”
Wu Dalin arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order." "Hurried away.
Qi Feng said: "There is a good show to watch now." If the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty encounter trouble in Eastern Qi, it will not be beneficial to us. ”
Qi Ning sat on the chair, thoughtful, and said after a while: "There are many people on the Northern Han side, I am sure that Prince Yu and they will never be robbed by Gong Taxi and others, if they are really not in the post house, there is only one possibility." ”
Qi Feng leaned over and asked, "Master Hou, where did they go?" ”
"The post house guards said that they didn't see them leave, but they left again, which can only show that Prince Yu and the others have avoided the eyes and ears of the guards." Qi Ning's eyes lit up, and he said softly: "I even suspect that Lord Yu and they are not only leaving the post house, but even want to leave Lucheng quietly. ”
Qi Feng was surprised: "Leave Lu City? Master Hou, this ...... How is this possible? They went to Dongqi in order to marry Dongqi, and now they have the upper hand, and the people of Dongqi are short-sighted, probably because they want to get Malingshan and send Princess Tianxiang to the Northern Han Dynasty, in such a situation, why do they want to leave? Do you leave it behind to get married? With a puzzled face, he said: "There are also the missions under their hands, there are hundreds of people up and down, does Prince Yu want to leave these people behind?" ”
"Under common sense, it is naturally impossible." Qi Ning thought thoughtfully: "Unless they encounter extremely difficult things, so they can't take care of these at all." ”
"Is it because of the Gonzashi gang?" Qi Feng asked, "Are they worried that Gong Tashi will not be good for them?" ”
Qi Ning smiled faintly: "Gong Taxi, they are from the Qinghai-Tibet Ancient Elephant Kingdom, and they are said to be disciples under the throne of the Great Snow Mountain, and they are not small, but they may not really be able to frighten Prince Yu. Although Gong Taxi's group of martial arts is not weak, after all, the number is scarce, the strength is weak, and they are in a head-to-head confrontation, and they can never be the opponent of the Northern Han Mission, so it is impossible for Prince Yu to leave in a hurry because of those few Qinghai-Tibetan lamas. ”
"Master Hou, apart from Gong Taxi, what other major events can make Prince Yu go in a panic?" Qi Feng frowned and said, "Why do you even have to avoid the guards of the post house?" ”
Qi Ning smiled: "The reason is very simple, Prince Yu doesn't want people to know that they have left, or thinks that if the Dongqi guards know, they may not be able to leave Dongqi." ”
"The Dongqi people won't let them leave?" Qi Feng wondered, "Then why?" ”
Qi Ning glanced at him and said, "Where are there so many whys." It's getting dark, you go and prepare dinner for me, you just slept and you're a little hungry. He stretched his waist and said with a smile: "But one thing is certain, Prince Yu is missing, and we should be able to see a good show next, and ...... What you just said is right, there is a problem with the Northern Han Mission, and this is God's help to me, which is very beneficial to us. ”
The Northern Han Dynasty has the upper hand in this courtship because of the land and courtship, Qi Ning knows very well in his heart that there is no reason between countries, which side maximizes the interests, naturally which side is biased, the Northern Han people take out the land to trade, the temptation of the Eastern Qi is too great, even if there is a Chi Danmei assassination incident that affects the smooth agreement between the Qi and Han countries, but this is just to give the Qi State some more weight, the two sides are entangled, and an agreement will be reached after all.
Qi Ning knew that under this kind of interest, especially the Eastern Qi monarch had the obsession of expanding his territory, and he was a lotus flower, and it was difficult to save the situation.
But people's luck comes, a fart can break out of the golden pimple, and the sudden change in the Northern Han mission is definitely beneficial to the Chu State from any point of view.
The Chu State delegation followed Qi Ning's orders, did not leave Xiyuan a step, and guarded it tightly, and some people took advantage of the chaos to enter.
The movement on the side of the East Garden, the West Garden side is very clear, until ten ten in the middle of the night, it seems to be very noisy, after the time, it seems that the day is tossed down, the people of the Northern Han Mission are also tired, and gradually quieted down, the Chu side is closely monitoring the movement of the East Garden, planted on the West Garden side of several big trees, there are Chu soldiers climbing on the treetops, condescendingly staring at the movement on the opposite side.
This night was not only a mess among the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty, but also several waves of people from the Eastern Qi Dynasty, who came and left, and it was obvious that the Eastern Qi side was dealing with the matter.
Qi Ning was calm, although there was chaos over there this night, he had a good night's sleep, his physical strength and energy were fully recovered, and at noon the next day, Wu Dalin hurriedly came over and said: "Master Hou, the prince of Dongqi asks to see!" ”
When Duan Xuan, the prince of Eastern Qi, came to the hall of Xiyuan, Qi Ning had already stepped forward to greet him, and said with a smile: "Qi Ning greets His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Duan Xuan looked good, stepped forward to hold Qi Ning's hand, and said with a smile: "Jinyihou, I should have come to visit a long time ago, but you also know that the envoys of the two countries arrived in Dongqi at the same time, if the palace comes to see you alone, people will think that the palace is selfish and unfair." The words are terrifying, and this palace has to be careful. ”
Qi Ning smiled: "Your Highness is thoughtful, come, Your Highness, please!" After inviting Duan Xuan into the hall, after taking a seat, Duan Xuan was not verbose, and said straight to the point: "Jinyi Hou, the prince of the Northern Han Dynasty and the prince of the wind said goodbye without saying goodbye, you should already know a little, right?" ”
Qi Ning was close at hand, if he didn't know, he would be talking nonsense with his eyes open, and nodded: "I heard a little, Your Highness, what is going on?" ”
