354. Sudden necessity
The sky will be white, but the lights will still be on in Fenghuayuan.
Since Cheng Zhaofeng talked about everyone's whereabouts, Nangong Pu has been worried until only the husband and wife are left in the room.
Shen Xueying also noticed his silence, and said while making the bed: "Ah Jin is fine, everyone can finally continue to live a good life." ”
Nangong Pu looked at her busy back, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "Yiyi has found you?" ”
Shen Xueying hesitated and nodded, "I asked her to help Wei Dong open the theater before, but now the theater doesn't need to be opened, she will explain some things." When something like this happened to Wei Dong, she has been explaining and comforting me. ”
"That's it?"
Shen Xueying turned around violently and looked at him, "What do you think?" ”
"Yiyi has always had a grudge against Ah Jin, and she has a ...... to some extent about Chengjun and Chengrui going to Tatar before."
"What do you want to say?" Shen Xueying looked at him, her face full of grief and indignation, "Your brother is not dead, but my brother is dead!" What more do you want?! ”
Nangong Pu also looked at her and asked in a low voice, "Liu Yi told you?" ”
"You already knew!" Shen Xueying stared at him with tears in her eyes.
Nangong Pu took a deep breath, "So, you went to the West Courtyard that day?" ”
"Is there a rule at home that you can't go to the West Courtyard?" Shen Xueying asked with a tearful sneer.
"You're covering for Liu Yi, right? Did Liu Yi ask you to do this? ”
"Nangong Jin actually has no evidence at all!" Shen Xueying's face was full of ridicule, "It's a pity, the current result is not what I want, and I'm also very sad." ”
"Xue Ying, Ah Jin said it clearly, you have to be forgiving and forgiving......" Nangong Pu looked at her sadly.
"I don't want to see him, I just want him dead!" Shen Xueying said fiercely, then turned around and cleaned up the bed from the cupboard, "Don't mention Nangong Jin in the future, we can still live." "Pick up the bunk and walk out the door," I went to sleep in the guest room. ”
**********
As this matter suddenly disappeared, the Nangong Mansion also seemed to have lifted the ban. First of all, Nangong Dingkang took his children and grandchildren to the ancestral tomb to pay respects for a while, and then notified Nangong Pu that the second room was responsible for the implementation of the tomb repair. This change surprised the Erfang collective, but Nangong Dingkang didn't mean to explain it at all.
The happiest were the two children, who were amused by Nangong Jin all afternoon rolling in the grass, and the house was full of children's cheerful laughter.
Shen Xueying's housekeeper's power was taken back by Zhou Tang, on the grounds that the recent affairs were complicated, and she continued to study. Of course, Zhou Tang is not a bad mother-in-law, she takes her eldest daughter-in-law with her no matter what, but Shen Xueying can't be happy.
Qingfeng Hall has returned to normal on the surface, but secretly, Tang Shubin and Li Mo not only have to step up to clean up Liu Yi's subordinates, but also reorganize Qingfeng Hall. After all, as Nangong Dingkang's in-house disciple, Liu Yi does know a lot. Therefore, the Nangong clan's guards in Pingyang were still led by Qi Fengtang Cheng Zhaofeng.
On this day, Zhou Tang finally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles on Nangong Jin's birthday. Nangong Jin finished eating happily, and her skills really improved a lot. Although on this day, everyone in the family behaved very casually, and it seemed that no one except Zhou Tang remembered it, but when he returned to the West Courtyard after dinner, he realized that everyone in the family, including Cheng Jun and Cheng Rui, sent congratulatory gifts.
Nangong Jin looked at the table full of gifts, and almost couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes. Cheng Rui's bamboo dragonfly, Cheng Jun's painting of longevity peach, and Nangong Pu carved a pony with turquoise. Close the door, play with each other, and smile from the bottom of your heart.
Two days later, Nangong Mansion called an opera troupe to prepare to sing for three days in a row. Nangong Dingkang invited guests without even looking for an excuse, not only in the clan, but also in Pingyang, and even those around Pingyang. Everyone came to the door with curiosity, and saw that the two brothers of the Nangong family were entertaining guests with a smile, as if they wanted to clear up the rumors for Nangong Jin. Who knew that the conversation after tea and dinner was becoming more and more exaggerated, and even 'the real person died early, and now he is an impostor' has come out. When Nangong Dingkang heard it, he could only smile helplessly.
On the third day, it was not yet dark, the troupe was ready to sing, and Nangong Jin was chatting with several familiar sons.
"Second son, I don't know if there is hot wolfberry tea in the house?"
Nangong Jin was stunned when he heard this, and the person who came was a middle-aged man dressed as a teacher, with a beard, looking haggard and nervous. Zheng Shu!
Nangong Jin confessed to several sons, and said to Zheng Shu with a smile: "This family is not always available, I'll take you to the kitchen to have a look." ”
Of course, Nangong Jin didn't take him to the kitchen, but finally found a secluded place, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?" Let's see if I'm really Nangong Jin? ”
Zheng Shu was not in the mood to joke at all, "The Ming army that went deep into Tumochuan is missing, including Qiu Niang and Shu Han's mother and son!" Lord Qian wants you to set off immediately to find out the truth. ”
"What did you say?!" Nangong Jin's face instantly lost a smile.
"That Ming army was supposed to arrive in Daqingshan more than two months ago, but suddenly there was no news. Qiu Niang was supposed to contact me about this, but she didn't keep the appointment, so I went to Tuo, didn't see Qiu Niang, didn't even see Shu Han's mother and son, and then rushed to Bansheng. Among the Han people, it was rumored that the Ming army went deep into the grassland and was wiped out, but our brothers in Bansheng didn't know where this battle was fought, so they took it as a rumor and didn't pass it back. ”
"What Lord Qian means now is that even if the army of 3,000 people is annihilated, it should be a tough battle, and it is impossible to disappear suddenly. You've always had the toughest relationship with Tumochuan, and you're not involved in it at all. Ah Jin, I searched near Bansheng, but there was no battlefield, I didn't find Qiu Niang, and I didn't even find Shu Han! I, I ....... Zheng Shu couldn't go on, and his voice was a little choked.
"Where was the last time you contacted Qiu Niang? When? Nangong Jin hurriedly asked.
"Once a month, you know, Wei Yuanwei. It was normal before, because of the previous war, it stopped for a while, and I didn't receive any news that this matter had been action, thinking that this matter had been done now, and most of our tasks had already been completed, so there was no hurry. After all, it is mainly the military department, and the army still has to march, and now that it is cold, it will not be so fast. Therefore, I didn't receive Qiu Niang's letter for two months, and I wasn't too surprised, thinking that there was nothing urgent and I would definitely stay in Weiyuanwei Tea Shop. The last time I saw her was more than three months ago. Zheng Shu's words were a bit messy.
"What did you just say about Shu Han's mother and son?" Nangong Jin was puzzled, this matter should only be related to Qiu Niang.
Zheng Shu took a breath, calmed down, and shook his head, "I don't know, anyway, I can't find them, Shu Han and Xiaoguang." ”
"Let's go! Where's your horse? ”
"At the door."
**********
Half an hour later, Nangong Jin rode out of Nangong Mansion on horseback. During this period, I met Li Songran and confessed, 'If you have something to do to go out of the city, you will contact your family.' ’
After a while, another horse galloped out of the house, and it was Xiao Lian who followed Nangong Jin. When he left Pingyang City, he was already a triumphant.
Cheng Zhaofeng, Tang Shubin, Li Mo, and Li Songran almost found Nangong Dingkang with their front and back feet, and they all said one thing - Nangong Jin had just come out of Pingyang from the north gate.
"Three people when you left the city? Who is the other one? Nangong Dingkang frowned and asked.
Everyone in the room shook their heads. I only heard Cheng Zhaofeng say: "It looks like a teacher, someone saw the head hall master take him away alone." ”
Nangong Dingkang looked at the sky and muttered to himself, "North Gate? Is it to get out of the customs? Won't it be Tatar again? Or is it Tianchengwei? After thinking about it carefully, he asked, "What news does Hall Master Jiang have reported recently?" ”
Li Mo said: "Yes." However, it was only said that the whole army had arrived at Tianchengwei according to the order, and it was temporarily controlled by General Feng. ”
"Is it Tumochuan again?" Nangong Dingkang was angry, "There will be no good things if there is a secret purpose." What General Wude, when did our family sell their lives for the imperial court. ”
Li Mo took the initiative to ask, "Master, I'll go to Tumo River, I've been there before, and I've been ...... these days." ”
"No, I don't. It was already snowing on the grassland this season, and Ah Jin could take care of herself. It must be an urgent matter for him to leave like this, and the other person is eighty percent sent by the imperial court. After a pause, he ordered: "Let Sitang report the whereabouts of the second son as soon as he has it." ”
"Yes." Li Mo was about to take the order and leave, but was stopped by Nangong Dingkang.
"Wait." Nangong Dingkang seemed to think for a long time, and finally said: "Dispatch the four halls, and immediately all the staff will obey the orders of the second son." ”
Tang Shubin and Li Mo were stunned, this means that there are more than 10,000 armed forces in Sitang, Ah Jin himself doesn't know yet, right?
"Yes." Li Mo took the order.
**********
After a few days of hard work, Nangong Jin got out of Weiyuanwei.
The old shopkeeper of Weiyuanwei Tea Shop, the last time he saw Qiu Niang was more than three months ago, because he didn't know the task at all, and thought that Qiu Niang was not coming, although Qiu Niang had made an appointment with him before he would not come at the end of the year.
However, Nangong Jin did not stay at Wei Yuanwei at all. When Qianlitang got the news and wanted to keep up, Nangong Jin had already left the customs.
In the proper city, Qiu Niang's small wine shop originally hung a big lock, and there was no one inside. Nangong Jin and Zheng Shu left a mark of looking for a little pigeon in the city, but there was no news for two days, Nangong Jin was anxious, and was about to leave Zheng Shu and Xiao Lian in place, and he hurried to Bansheng, and suddenly found that there was a small pigeon next to one of the marks he left.
According to this mark, a hundred paces away in front of the left, there is a small temple with two monks in the temple. However, the small temple often takes in homeless Han Chinese so that they can have a tile to cover their bodies.
Nangong Jin walked into this small temple, except for the main hall led by the host to a group of Han believers chanting, the room in the side hall was full of ragged men, women and children, but there was no trace of a small pigeon in either place.
Nangong Jin walked to the door of the small temple and didn't know where to look for him for a while. It stands to reason that this mark was taught to him by himself, and it shouldn't be wrong, maybe he felt that there was danger and hid. So, I found a conspicuous position opposite the temple and stood. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a timid voice to sound beside him, "Brother Luo." ”
