"Eat slowly, no one will rob you, don't choke!"

The two little beggars devoured in the cold moon fast, judging from their appearance, they really hadn't eaten for a long time, obviously their mouths were still chewing, and they were already holding other food in their hands. Children are the least able to lie, and their actions often come from their hearts, which is why Qi Wantong will look for these little beggars.

"When you're done eating, I'll ask the cook to prepare more for you to take away, and bring some for your father and mother."

"Thank you, sister!"

Qi Wantong looked at these two children, and she couldn't help but feel compassion in her heart, but her original intention was not simply to be kind to these poor children. This time the two of them brought her a very useful piece of news, and the price paid was only a few meals.

"After you go back, continue to help your sister, if you have any news, just come to your sister, and keep any delicious sister for you."

"Sister, you're so nice!"

Seeing off the two little beggars, the smile that was originally on his face gradually solidified. Many days ago, Qi Wantong received a letter from Xuan Shaoning, and after reading the letter, she was heartbroken until now, in the letter, Xuan Shaoning told Qi Wantong that Shi Gong Zhengyuan was missing on the battlefield, even if he repeatedly comforted that there was no news of him for the time being, but Qi Wantong still had a heart hanging.

In the past few days, all kinds of news have been transmitted to Qi Wantong, if it is replaced by others, I am afraid that they will be a little overwhelmed, but fortunately, Qi Wantong is good at this, she has properly handled everything one by one, but Shi Gong Zhengyuan can't get over this matter.

"Someone's coming!"

A little guy pushed open the curtain door and said to Qi Wantong, "What does Miss Qi command?" ”

"Go and invite Lord Xiao and Master Su to come and have tea."

"Yes!"

Not long after the little girl left, in Qi Wantong's opinion, it was just half a pillar of incense, and she heard the footsteps in the corridor. So fast? Qi Wantong looked towards the curtain door, and a person's shadow was reflected on the door, and with a hiss, the door was opened.

"Xiao Moyan? Are you on vacation today, and you're here so soon? ”

Xiao Moyan walked into the Accord, sat down, lifted the teapot on the table and poured it into his throat without using a cup, because it was poured so violently that the leaking water flowed down Xiao Moyan's collar to his legs.

Qi Wantong just looked at Xiao Moyan quietly, she didn't speak or move, she just looked at him. She also noticed that Xiao Moyan had a circle of white gauze wrapped around her left arm, she seemed to have guessed something, but before Xiao Moyan said it herself, she always had hope, even if it was the last bit of hope, she was unwilling to pierce it.

Boom! Xiao Moyan slammed the teapot on the table, and he sighed, "It's a pity that this is not wine!" Otherwise, I really want to get drunk! ”

"I'm here for Leng Yuezhai, what wine don't you have? As soon as you say it, I'll have someone bring it up at once. ”

"Yes, you have to drink as much wine as you want, but people ...... If you lose it, you'll never come back! ”

"What the hell have you gotten this news for?"

Qi Wantong stared at Xiao Moyan, her heart was pounding very fast, she was so worried that Xuan Shaoning was just lying to herself, and the truth was the last thing she wanted to see! Her eyes didn't dare to blink, her lips trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to ask, she was afraid that what she asked was the last thing she wanted to hear!

"Wantong, it seems that you don't know yet. The report of the southeast battle has come out from the palace, and the southeast is not only a rout on the whole front, but also ...... Moreover, Qingyuan sacrificed his life for the country! ”

In an instant, a tear rolled down from Qi Wantong's eyes, and when she heard the news, her heart first relaxed a little, and then a new round of pain surged up, but it was obvious that the new round of pain was far less than Fang Cai's anxious waiting. But Qi Wantong told herself that these tears were shed for Mu Qingyuan, after all, he was also his classmate for seven years, not to mention that he sacrificed his life for the country.

"Why didn't Shao Ning tell me this news in his letter?"

"You've already received Shaoning's letter?"

"Yes, I received it a few days ago. In his letter, Shaoning briefly described the situation on the southeast front, but did not mention Qingyuan. ”

"Why did Shaoning write to you but didn't write to me?"

"Because you are in the imperial court, it is inevitable that the letter will have ears to you across the wall!"

This was not said by Qi Wantong, the two of them turned their heads together and saw Zhao Kexin. Zhao Kexin walked into the Accord, turned around and closed the door, sat down and said to the two: "Su Qian won't come, he has already gone to the southeast front line to handle the family's business, I just came back from the academy and met the little guy and came here with him." ”

"The southeast has become the front line, and the war is continuous, isn't Su Qian worried about danger when he goes?" Qi Wantong was a little worried about Su Qian.

Xiao Moyan adjusted his emotions and said: "You don't have to worry about this, the more war they have, the more opportunities their Su family has to earn silver, haven't you heard that it is difficult to make a fortune?" The Su family was able to become the No. 1 chaebol in Daliang in nearly a hundred years, and it started by war. Besides, what kind of person is Su Qian, in terms of machine change and force, he can't kill the enemy on the field, and it is more than enough for self-preservation. ”

Zhao Kexin also saw the white yarn wrapped around Xiao Moyan's arm, "The master of Mu Qingyuan already knows, and the master still appreciates Qingyuan's choice and responsibility, if it weren't for the fact that the senior brothers and sisters all have their own tasks, the master plans to hang Qingyuan's portrait in the Linyuan Pavilion for the later junior brothers and sisters to admire." ”

The person is no longer there, and the grief behind him is more of a form, of course, it also entrusts the thoughts of the living, which can be regarded as a kind of praise for Mu Qingyuan's death.

"Qingyuan is the only son in the family, I heard that these days Lord Mu has said that he is sick and has not gone to court, and the pain of white-haired people sending black-haired people is something we will not experience."

"Silent words, Qingyuan will not sacrifice in vain, we have to fulfill his wish for him."

Xiao Moyan and Zhao Kexin both looked at Qi Wantong, Xiao Moyan suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "Wantong, are you looking for me?" ”

"That's right!" Qi Wantong got up again to make sure that there was no one outside the door, and came back reflexively and said: "My Leng Yue Zhai is a place where news circulates, and a few days ago, Xiao Mei opposite Fengyi Pavilion brought me news: a father-in-law in the palace once entered and exited Fengyi Pavilion, and he was accompanied by Shen Qianji, an upstart in the Beijing Teacher Examination. ”

"Father-in-law in and out of the fireworks venue? This is really unreasonable! Zhao Kexin exclaimed: "Is this little Mei serving her father-in-law?" ”

"Xiaomei is a singer, she is not a showman, she just played a few tunes through the curtain."

"Shen Qianji is the Dali Temple, Xiao Mei recognized it through the curtain? Also, when did Dali Temple get involved with the inner servant? Xiao Moyan can be regarded as having been in officialdom for some years, and he still understands the basic rules of officialdom.

Xiao Mei naturally didn't recognize it on the spot, she relied on her memory to draw a portrait, and the person she recognized was me, and I knew the most outstanding person in the Beijing Normal School Entrance Examination. However, I'm just a woman in Fireworks Willow Alley, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court, so I came to you. ”

"You think it's a clue?"

"Not only that, but the informant in the slum also sent me a clue: three days ago, a carriage appeared in the slum and picked up a person, although the carriage was old and small, but there is no doubt that someone deliberately did it."

"When you go out of the slums, even if you wear a little brighter clothes, you will be stared at by the homeless people, let alone the carriage. Wantong, do you think there is a connection between these two things? ”

"I can't tell you clearly, since the southeast war report spread all over the capital, there has been more news from all walks of life, I sifted through these news, and I always felt that these two things were not a single incident, and there seemed to be a connection behind them."

"Didn't your informants provide more leads?"

"They're not full-time detailers, but they're just helping to do something for my face and money, and it's good to have some rough clues."

"I have written down this matter, according to the battle reports in the past few days, the war situation in the southeast is not optimistic, and there will be fewer opportunities for me to come to you in the future."

"Leave this to me!" Zhao Kexin patted his chest and said: "Both of you are inconvenient, leave the matter of passing on the news to me, I have been going back and forth between the capital and the academy these days, and there is not much more." ”
