In the bedroom, Changsun Sheng's face was sallow, accompanied by a violent cough.

Zheng Yanqing has seen Changsun Sheng's illness, but compared with the illness when the weather is cold, Changsun Sheng's appearance at this time is obviously much more in his eyes.

When Yan Qing came in, Changsun Sheng was talking to a middle-aged man.

The man was younger than Changsun Sheng, with a round face, a slightly protruding piece on his forehead, a black beard and a white face, and a bookish life. Yan Qing recognized this person, who was Changsun Sheng's own brother, named Changsun Shunde, who was the general of the Right Xunwei at the time.

Note that it's a general, not a general.

Historically, this man has a good reputation. During the Battle of Liaodong, he fled to Taiyuan to escape the war. Later, he raised troops in Taiyuan with Li Yuan and made great contributions. After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he was named the general of Zuo Xiaowei and Xue Guogong.

Later, in the Xuanwumen Change, he assisted Li Shimin to ascend the throne.

As for whether you have boarded the Lingyan Pavilion? It's been too long, and Zheng Yanqing can't remember it clearly.

But he knows that this eldest grandson Shunde is a very far-sighted person who can also place bets, and his ability should not be too bad.

The eldest grandson, Shunde, was very close to Yan Qing and greeted him with a smile.

"Big brother, then I'll go first...... You don't have to worry about things in the house, Heng'an will come back in a few days, you just have to recuperate with peace of mind. ”

Changsun Sheng nodded, "Yanqing, wait for me to send it!" ”

Generally speaking, most of the people who do this kind of thing are their nephews. Changsun Sheng ordered Yanqing to send off the guests, which also showed his attitude towards Yanqing. Maybe in Changsun Sheng's heart, Yanqing already exists like his nephew.

"Uncle, what the hell is going on?"

When sending off the eldest grandson Shunde, Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but ask: "When I came, I saw that the city was heavily guarded. The teacher said that he was fine yesterday, why did he ...... one night? What happened to make the teacher look like this? ”

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "The remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were in turmoil, and yesterday it was said that the eldest brother would join General Tianbao, Mai Zhuguo and others to trap and kill the thieves under Duanmen City. It's just that the thief is too fierce that when the eldest brother kills the other party, he causes an old disease, and it has become such a situation...... That guy is worthy of being the No. 1 master in Chang'an in the past, when I cleaned the Tianjin Bridge this morning, that scene was really miserable...... That guy alone killed nearly 200 forbidden soldiers. The five masters were surrounded, Mai Zhuguo was seriously injured, and General Tianbao also lost his love to ride...... Damn it, what an old monster! ”

"Uncle, who are you talking about?"

Seeing that there was no one around, the eldest grandson Shunde lowered his voice and said: "It is the head of the Great Zhou Yu Wenyou Mansion in the Elephant Year. But now he's called the Husky...... Oh, it's the owner of Dading Restaurant. And, you can't guess. That guy is the person in charge of the white-clothed Maitreya who robbed you in the White Bird Temple, do you say it's scary?

I've even eaten at Dading Restaurant...... If he had done it at that time, he would have been killed if he couldn't get half of the ministers in the court! ”

When the eldest grandson Shunde said this, he subconsciously trembled and shook his head again and again, as if he was a little afraid.

Zheng Yanqing chuckled in his heart.

Fortunately, his kung fu was good, and his face did not show too much emotion.

Instead, he made a shocked gesture, "There is such a powerful character in Luoyang City?" So how is Harder now? ”

The eldest grandson Shunde smiled, "Three thousand forbidden troops were dispatched to booby trap him, and five masters were dispatched, if he was allowed to escape again...... Your Majesty's face, where will it go? Dead, the guy was killed. It is said that the body has been collected and disposed of by General Tempo. It seems to say that it is buried at the foot of Xiangshan...... It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead. ”

Zheng Yanqing sent his eldest grandson Shunde away and returned to the bedroom.

Changsun Sheng was very tired, his eyes were closed, and he leaned on the mattress, as if he had fallen asleep.

Zheng Yanqing lightly covered him with a blanket.

"Yanqing, I can't supervise your schoolwork these two days, but you can't relax...... Oh, you go to the back garden and accompany Guanyin. I had a morning attack that scared her out. Wuji is accompanying her at this time, but it is estimated that it will not be of much use. That kid is a lot of pestering, you have to put a little more effort into it. If you don't understand anything about your coursework, come and ask me again. ”

"Yes!"

Zheng Yanqing got up and prepared to leave.

Just as he went out, Changsun Sheng suddenly stopped him.

"Yanqing!"

"Students in ......"

Changsun Sheng hesitated, "One day, if I'm not here, please bother more and take care of Guanyin." ”

"Teacher, what are you talking about?"

Zheng Yanqing was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Just now, Mr. Chao also said that as long as you recuperate well, you will be fine." ”

"What are you so nervous about?" Changsun Sheng smiled, "I'm just talking about it casually." Hehe, but these days, please take care of Guanyin more. She is young, her surname is weak, and she really needs someone to coax her. ”

"Rest assured, the disciple will definitely take care of Guanyin."

Changsun Sheng closed his eyes again, and Zheng Yanqing exited the room lightly and gently closed the door.

On the way to the garden, I met Mrs. Gao coming. It can be seen that she seems to be a little worried, and she did not greet Yanqing as she did in the past. Just nodded, then staggered past Yan Qing and hurried to the bedroom.

―――――――――――――――――――――――― Yanqing was in the garden, coaxing Wujian for a while, until she showed a happy smile, and then she was relieved.

It was past noon, and Zheng Yanqing first coaxed him to take a nap.

Then I hastily had lunch at the eldest grandson's house before saying goodbye and leaving.

No matter what happened, he had to behave normally. In the eyes of many people, Zheng Yanqing could not have anything to do with the white-clothed Maitreya, and this is also his best weapon to protect Duoduo now. I just don't know what will happen to Duoduo after knowing the news?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yanqing had a headache.

This also involves Changsun Sheng...... Let Duoduo understand that Changsun Sheng is acting on orders. At the same time, it is also necessary to dispel her possible revenge.

It's not an easy thing to do.

Also, the husky was buried in Xiangshan?

Zheng Yanqing didn't believe it either. Instinctively, he thought it was a trap. It is likely that it was a trap set by the imperial court to attract huskies. Also, what is the situation of Yuwenya? Could it be that there was an accident too?

The more Yan Qing thought about it, the more he felt that his head was swollen.

Along the way, I was worried and rushed back to the Zheng Mansion in Huairenfang.

Duoduo is looking forward to it, waiting for Zheng Yanqing's news. In fact, this afternoon, the news about the white-clothed Maitreya has spread, and of course Zheng Shi'an can't find out the slightest news. But Duoduo still has some expectations, at this time, she is more willing to believe in Yan Qing, and she is more willing to hear an answer from Yan Qing's mouth that she wants.

The news that Ke Yanqing brought back made Duoduo desperate.

"I'm going to kill them!"

Duoduo picked up the sword and walked out.

Zheng Yanqing hugged her tightly, "Duoduo, don't be impulsive...... The emperor is not in Luoyang now, as long as you go out, it will be a dead end.

Calm down and don't be impulsive.

Although Mr. Ha has suffered misfortune, there is still Yaya! Think about Yaya, if something happens to you, what should Yaya do? ”

Duoduo suddenly bit Zheng Yanqing's arm, and Yanqing, who only hurt, couldn't help but bare his teeth.

Mao Xiaonian immediately rushed over to pull away the flowers, but was stopped by Zheng Yanqing with his eyes. He hugged Duoduo tightly and let Duoduo bite his arm.

"Duoduo, obedient."

Yan Qing stroked Duoduo's hair with one hand, "If you want to cry, cry out...... But don't take too long, because we're going to find Yaya. ”

Duoduo squeezed out a whimpering sound from her throat and gradually let go of her mouth.

Zheng Yanqing motioned for Mao Xiaonian to retreat, and then said softly: "Mr. Ha is gone, but you still have Xiao Xiucai." I may not be as skilled as Mr. Ha, but I will definitely help you. However, although this time it is said that the emperor issued an order, I don't think it should be so simple. It is likely that it is the devil inside, otherwise it would be impossible for Mr. Ha to be exposed.

I heard that at that time, many white-clothed Maitreya wanted to storm the end door.

Since the chief manager has decided to evacuate, how can he organize people to do such an unwise thing? ”

Duoduo slowly raised her head!

Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears were streaming down her face.

"It won't be Yaya, many disciples in the sect don't know about Yaya's existence yet. Except for Mr. Ha, it's just me and ...... Hu Lidie? ”

"Who is Hu Lidie?"

"He is also the head of the sect, and like Grandpa Ha, he was my father's guard in his early years.

Maitreya in white was founded by Father-in-law Ha and him...... However, he is so good, why did he betray Grandpa Ha? ”

"And where is Hu Lidie?"

"I don't know, Grandpa Ha arranged for him to act separately from us. A few days ago, he was gone, and only Grandpa Ha knew where he was. ”

Yan Qing thought of Xu Yansheng's booklet.

He hurriedly took the booklet over, opened it and read it carefully.

According to Xu Yansheng's records, the second shopkeeper of Dading Restaurant is Hu Lidie. He came in and out a lot, and he came into contact with a lot of people. Xu Yansheng was just spying, but he couldn't ask too carefully, so many people's origins were not clear.

"Duoduo, do you have dealings with the Puyang County Princess?"

Zheng Yanqing suddenly found a name on the record.

Duoduo thought for a moment, "I don't know about this. You mean to break the wilderness, listen to what Grandpa Ha said, it seems that there is a relationship. It's just that I haven't met anyone from the Broken Wild Head family. You also know that Dading Restaurant has a foothold in Luoyang, and it will definitely make friends with some powerful people. ”

"That's what Hu Lidie has always done?"

"The contact with Po Yetou's family seems to be handled by Hu Lidie...... What's wrong? ”

Yan Qing said: "A few months ago, I found an acquaintance, uh, maybe an acquaintance, entering and exiting the side door of Dading Restaurant. Because I had heard that the person was Maitreya in white, I became curious about Dading Restaurant and let people spy on it outside. This is the situation of people entering and exiting the side door of the restaurant. According to records, the chariot of the Puyang County public house appeared at the side door several times. After Hu Lidie came out, he left in the car of the Puyang County Prince. ”

"You're saying that it was Hu Lidie and Po Yetou who betrayed us?"

Zheng Yanqing nodded, "Very likely!" ”

"I, I'm going to kill him."

Zheng Yanqing sighed: "Duoduo, put down the sword...... If Hu Lidie betrayed you, he must be under the protection of the Duke of Puyang County now. On my way to the teacher's house at noon, I met the Tianbao general Yuwen Chengdu.

Even Gonggong Ha died at the hands of General Tianbao, how are you his opponent?

You are so impulsive, how can I put my mind at ease? I'm telling you, it's not over yet. It is rumored that Gonggong Ha was buried at the foot of Xiangshan. But in my estimation, it's probably a trap waiting for you to fall for it......"

"Xiao Xiucai, I, I, I ......"

Duoduo suddenly cried loudly, "I'm really useless, Grandpa Ha is dead, but I can't do anything at all, I'm really useless." ”

Yan Qing went over and hugged Duoduo in his arms.

"Duoduo, listen to me, I will definitely avenge you.

But you have to listen to me. Our top priority now is to find Yaya and send you out of Luoyang safely. As for Hu Lidie, I believe he will appear sooner or later. Duoduo, what we have to do is wait. ”

"But when?"

Zheng Yanqing showed a contemplative expression, as if talking to himself, and said softly: "It won't be too far, believe me, it won't be too long." ”

Duoduo subconsciously hugged Yan Qing's waist and pressed the powder tightly to Yan Qing's chest.

At this time, only Xiao Xiucai's embrace made her feel a trace of warmth and safety...... "Young Master! ”

The door was suddenly opened, and Mao Xiaonian and Xu Shiji broke into the house, "Zhuyuan, something happened to Zhuyuan!" ”

"What's wrong with Zhuyuan?"

Xu Shiji hurriedly said: "I sent Xu Yansheng to Zhuyuan in the afternoon, but after arriving in Zhuyuan, I found that Mao Wang and his wife were killed. ”

"What did you say?"

Mao Xiaonian's tears rippled, as if he had lost his soul, and he didn't know what to do.

"Young master, my father and mother ......"

Duoduo hurriedly went over and stabilized Xiao Nian.

Zheng Yanqing said: "Brother Xu, what's going on? ”

"I sent Xu Yansheng to Zhuyuan in the afternoon, but I didn't see Mao Wang's family. So Xu Yansheng and I searched, and first found two corpses, one large and one small, in a bamboo hut; Later, in the kitchen, the bodies of Mao Wang and his wife were found. The Bamboo Garden House was in chaos, and the carriage and the two horses pulling the cart were gone...... Xu Yansheng is still taking care of the bamboo garden. ”

Zheng Yanqing suddenly felt creepy.

In my heart, an ominous omen welled up.

"Duoduo, you and Xiao Nian are both staying at home, I haven't come back, and I'm not allowed to leave a step.

Shen Guang, prepare the horse...... Brother Xu, you immediately call Dang Shijie and Dang Shiying, let's go to Zhuyuan immediately and find out. ”

Duoduo looked at Zheng Yanqing, whose face was pale, suspiciously, and faintly felt the anger in his heart.

"Xiao Xiucai, what's wrong with you?"

"Duoduo, have you ever heard of the name 'Mao Xiaoba'?"

Duoduo scratched her head, "I don't seem to have a ...... in my impression Oh, you wouldn't mean that the person you want to spy on is Mao Xiaoba. ”

Mao Xiaonian also raised his head and looked at Yan Qing with unbelievable eyes.

"Young master, you mean ......"

Zheng Yanqing ignored Mao Xiaonian, "Duoduo, think about it again, a native of Luoyang, surnamed Mao, do you have any impression?" ”

"Ah, I remember."

Duoduo suddenly stroked his palms and shouted: "Hu Lidie has a disciple, surnamed Mao, who is still from Luoyang. But that person is not called Mao Xiaoba, but Mao Gongsui...... Well, about seventeen or eighteen years old, very delicate, very soft-spoken, and good-tempered. ”

"You wait here, I don't come back, no one is allowed to leave."

After Zheng Yanqing finished speaking, he turned his head and ran out of the room.

He turned over and got on his horse outside the palace gate, and the four of Shen Guang and Xu Shiji beat the horse and whipped it, and rushed out of Huairenfang.

No wonder Mao Wang and his wife refused to come to live in the city, preferring to stay in a remote bamboo garden...... Previously, Zheng Yanqing thought that they were unwilling to live in the city. But now that I think about it, it shouldn't be like this. Mao Wang and his wife must have found Mao Xiaoba and stayed in Zhuyuan to meet their son. Negligent, negligent...... Recently, Zheng Yanqing has almost forgotten about Mao Xiaoba, and he will not leave Mao Wang and his wife in the bamboo garden and connect with Mao Xiaoba. But this flesh-and-blood affection is deep, and the family affection is connected by blood...... He was negligent!
