After Xue Qing and Miss Liu discussed, they waited for Zhang Luo for a long time before coming down from the mountain. The blood on his body, his mood was depressed, and his expression was serious, which made Xue Qing a little worried.

"Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Luo didn't speak, sat down and poured a big mouthful of water first, then wiped the sweat on his head and looked at Xue Qing and said:

"This cottage is not a bandit."

Xue Qing was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what Zhang Luo meant.

"Brother Zhang, what's going on?"

Zhang Luo didn't speak, first sat on the big stone and rested for a while, looked at Xue Qing, Yangyang and that Miss Liu and said:

"This cottage is called Panlong Village, the owner of the village inside is very powerful, and his minions are well-trained, and they are the private soldiers raised by King Jin."

"You mean, there are King Jin's private soldiers here? How many of them are there? ”

Zhang Luo stretched out a slap, Xue Qing was stunned, five hundred people should not be in any danger.

It's just that when he heard Zhang Luo's answer, Xue Qing was a little surprised.

"Five thousand."

Xue Qing's eyes widened, looked at Zhang Luo, and then looked back and forth.

"Don't worry, there are only a few dozen people on the mountain now, because the big head is not there, so ......"

Zhang Luo looked at Miss Liu and didn't continue, everyone knew what he meant. Because the leader is not here, he is lawless, and he is a traitor.

"Where's my two maids?"

Miss Liu had already guessed something, but she wanted to hear a different answer.

Zhang Luo looked at Miss Liu apologetically, and when he arrived, the two maids had already been tortured to death.

"They're dead. We have to hurry back to the capital, King Jin has transferred all the people here, there must be a new move. ”

Zhang Luo reminded Xue Qing that Xue Qing was also anxious about his brother's situation, so the group of four people set off.

Miss Liu could not ride a horse, and her body was injured, so she could only sit in the carriage, and the speed of several people was not fast.

I could have arrived in the capital in more than a day, but it took three days to arrive in a hurry.

At this time, the capital was still as lively as half a year ago, the prosperous scene was still the same, but Xue Qing's mood was very heavy.

Everyone wanted to send Miss Liu home, but Miss Liu refused and asked Xue Qing to take her to Taifu's mansion.

Xue Qing thought that she had fallen into the hands of the mountain bandits because she had been framed by her husband, so she agreed to her request.

Xue Yu's case is still pressed on Jing Zhaoyin, and there should be the secret help of the crown prince and King Rui.

Back at Taifu's Mansion, Taifu Xue and Mrs. Xue were at a loss, they wanted to find someone to help save Xue Yu, and even the saint believed in Xue Yu's character, but there was no evidence.

When Xue Qing came to the house, he was very distressed when he saw his parents' gloomy appearance.

"Mother, father, Qing'er is back!"

Xue Qinghuang's voice came from outside, and both Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue showed surprise.

Everyone met, and Xue Qing also introduced Miss Liu to the Xue couple. Of course, she didn't tell them how she met Miss Liu.

Looking at Miss Liu, Mrs. Xue was very happy, although she had a birthmark on her face, she was gentle and generous, and she was a rare good woman.

After learning that Miss Liu knew the truth, Mrs. Xue immediately entered the palace to face the saint.

Mrs. Xue went to ask for a trial of Xue Yu's case, and Mrs. Xue and Xue Qing were in a relationship for a while before going to rest.

Everything was arranged, Xue Qing followed Zhang Luo to King Rui's Mansion, and she had to exchange information with King Rui.

When Xue Qing arrived, King Rui had not yet returned to the palace. Xue Qing was not in a hurry, and sat patiently in King Rui's study.

Zhang Luo walked around and turned around King Rui's study. King Rui is a martial arts person, and most of the books in the study are martial arts classics, military books and battle strategies.

Although Zhang Luo is a rough man, he can also read and write, and he can read martial arts classics.

Inadvertently, Zhang Luo flipped to a small portrait, the person on it was vivid and expressive, full of agility, as if it was Xue Qing.

There is also a line of small words written below: The so-called Yi people are on the water side.

Zhang Luo closed the book, and his mood immediately became complicated. This King Rui's mind is really on Qing'er, if the prince becomes a thing, will he beat Qing'er's idea.

Zhang Luo leaned against the wall, thinking about how to deal with what might happen next, and his mind was in a trance.

"Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Qing saw that Zhang Luo seemed to be depressed, and hurriedly came over to ask.

Zhang Luo looked at Xue Qing and didn't know how to express his feelings.

"Qing'er, tomorrow I will send a letter to Yishan Jian and send a matchmaker to come and propose marriage to your father."

Xue Qing was confused by this sudden sentence. Didn't you say that you would wait until the dust settled?

"Brother Zhang, didn't we talk about it?"

"Qing'er, what if things change? I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of it then. ”

Xue Qing looked at Zhang Luo's nervous appearance and burst out laughing. She didn't expect that Zhang Luo would also have gains and losses.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, you just have to carry a sedan chair to meet me. Could it be that I can still be snatched away? ”

Zhang Luo was helpless, he always felt that he was a little unsteady if he didn't settle down sooner.

Zhang Luo and Xue Qing waited in King Rui's study for more than an hour before King Rui appeared in the study.

"Qing'er!"

King Rui looked at Xue Qing, who had grown taller in front of him, and actually had a feeling that my family had a girl who had just grown up.

"Zhang Shaoxia!"

When King Rui saw Zhang Luo, he no longer had the excitement he had just now.

It would be wonderful if there was no such person in the meeting with Xue Qing.

Zhang Luo keenly discovered King Rui's dislike, and immediately became an eyesore wholeheartedly.

He gently poured Xue Qing a cup of fragrant tea, and then sat down with Xue Qing.

Xue Qing didn't care, and Chao Rui Wang smiled and acquiesced to Zhang Luo's approach.

King Rui sat across from the two of them and spoke first.

"The situation in the capital is tense right now. The father's succession book was written, but the four imperial uncles objected one after another, making the father waver.

After you sent the news of King Chang, my father really received an invitation from King Chang, saying that the princess died of illness and asked the prince to go to the funeral, and he would choose a young daughter of the prince to accompany my mother.

The father couldn't stop the son from fulfilling his filial piety, so he could only agree and let the son go back to King Chang's fief.

The day before yesterday, King Jin went to the table and said that the princess was seriously ill and missed Sister Jingyu, so she was replaced by a young lady who didn't know where she came from.

Today, my father received two more from Uncle Wang, both of whom hoped to bring back their relatives in Beijing. ”

Xue Qing and Zhang Luo listened, why did these four princes seem to have discussed it. Are they united?

"King Chang originally planned to kill us, but after besieging us for a while, he withdrew all the people.

Also, when we entered Beijing, we found a cottage of bandits, who seemed to be the men of King Jin, with 5,000 people.

Now that the 5,000 people are no longer in the cottage, we suspect that they came to the capital in disguise. ”

King Rui raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that King Jin had also planted private soldiers, and it was still so close to the capital.

"King Chang's troops and horses have been mobilized, but they are all under our control. It's just that these soldiers of King Jin, it's hard to find them now. ”
