Chapter 227: Unlucky Situ Qiang
"Do you see clearly?" Situ Qiang looked at the thin man who was out of breath and asked as he trotted all the way back.
"See clearly!" The thin man replied in a loud voice: "Soon after His Royal Highness Hong Shizi entered, a woman came out and headed towards the snow-capped mountain over there."
"Woman? What woman? Situ Qiang asked curiously, he wandered around Old Man Li's house for a long time, and he didn't see any women.
"Back to my lord." The thin man said with a smile on his face: "It's the female general who came to inspect us last time!"
"You read that right!" Situ Qiang grabbed the thin man's collar and asked excitedly.
"Lord Hui, that's right, it must be that female general!" The thin man nodded vigorously, he had only seen this female general of the Ferrand clan, and he was the most respected one.
"That's great!" Situ Qiang rubbed his fat hands excitedly, he had already received the exact news that General Lin Yue was the sworn friend of His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhun Hong, and he also disappeared with His Royal Highness the Princess Hong.
"You're staring here with a few people!" Situ Qiang turned his head to the thin man and said, "Be smart, don't let His Royal Highness Hong Shizi find out, otherwise you and I will not be able to protect our heads."
"The villain has to be ordered!" As soon as the thin man bowed, he immediately led a few soldiers and walked towards the side of the cliff, which was the only way to enter and exit this small courtyard, and they hid behind the rocks on the side of the cliff.
Situ Qiang watched the thin man go away, so he suppressed his excitement and walked towards the valley with his head held high.
Because he firmly believes that there must be an ulterior secret in Old Man Li's house, and there is a chance that His Royal Highness the Quasi-Princess, who His Majesty has offered a reward to find.
After about an hour, Situ Qiang finally walked to the entrance of the snow-capped mountain with his heavy body. He laboriously boarded the snowmobile parked at the mountain pass and ordered his soldiers to hurry in the direction of the palace......
"Your Majesty!" Steward Zhou walked in briskly from outside the hall.
Fleeing from His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhun Hong, Mao Zhilan was killed, the queen's face was clouded, and the entire Ferrand clan was also shrouded in a layer of haze.
"What?" The queen raised her head and looked at the trembling Steward Zhou with half-squinted eyes.
Since she succeeded to the throne, she was ready to deal with everything, but she never imagined that her son would be free from her control at the most critical time.
"The garrison of Mengbei Snow Mountain is here, saying that there is an important matter to meet Your Majesty!" Steward Zhou looked at the frowning queen and said cautiously.
"The garrison of Mengbei Snow Mountain?" The queen raised her eyebrows and asked impatiently, "What is the important thing for a magistrate who is in charge of paying tribute to snow ginseng?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Situ Shou said that he saw His Royal Highness Hong Shizi!" Steward Zhou looked at the queen's expression and said tentatively.
"What? Hong'er ran to Mengbei Snow Mountain? The Queen's face changed when she heard this.
Yesterday, she got a report from a hunter, saying that she had seen three young women on the way to Mengbei Snow Mountain, and one of them was as beautiful as a fairy, so she ordered all roads to the Snow Mountain to be blocked early in the morning, and vowed to arrest Yuwei who escaped.
"Your Majesty, will you let him in?" Steward Zhou looked at the queen with a surprised look on her face and asked carefully.
"Let him in!" The queen straightened her back, which was already a little stiff, picked up the Ice Lotus Snow Tea placed on the stone table and took a sip, then swallowed it slowly.
Hong'er is a thorn in her heart, which cannot be removed, and it hurts faintly, which really annoys her.
"Your Majesty!" Situ Qiang dragged his fat body, walked in with a smile on his face, and knelt down with a plop, "The villain sees Her Majesty!" ”
"What's the matter with you?" Situ Qiang, who was kneeling in the main hall, glanced at it and asked disapplaudedly.
"Back to Your Majesty, the villain saw His Royal Highness Hong Shizi in the Snow Mountain, and the majestic General Lin Yue!" Situ Qiang looked at the queen's nonchalant appearance and replied with a smile on his face.
"What?" The queen's eyes couldn't help but widen, "You said you saw General Lin Yue?" ”
"Yes!" Situ nodded vigorously, "The villain watched His Royal Highness Hong Shizi walk into the house, and saw General Lin Yue walking out of the house. ”
"How is that possible?" When the queen heard this, she suddenly stood up from the throne, and she didn't expect Hong'er, who had left her angrily, to find Yuwei in front of her.
"Back to Your Majesty, what the villain said is true, the villain did see General Lin Yue and His Royal Highness Hong Shizi together!" Situ Qiang said with an oath.
"Where are they?" The queen walked back and forth for a long time before she asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, they are in a small courtyard at the back foot of Mengbei Snow Mountain. The villain has already sent his subordinates to keep an eye on it! ”
"Oh?" The queen stopped, glanced at Situ Qiang, who was full of flattery, and asked with a gloomy face, "You have arranged for your men to stay there?"
"Yes, there are three people left in the villain, and all of them are clever ghosts!" Situ replied with a smiling face full of meat.
"You're doing a great job!" The queen looked at Situ Qiang, who was full of servants, and said with a smile: "You have made great contributions to this king, and this king will definitely give you a big reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Situ Qiang kowtowed vigorously, looking at the queen with joy on his face, he had been carefully studying the way to become rich all his life, but he didn't expect his dream to come true in one day!
"Steward Zhou, take Master Situ to receive the reward!" When the queen had finished speaking, she slashed her hand downward.
"Lord Situ, let's go!" Steward Zhou picked up Situ Qiang with a smile in his eyes and said with a smile.
"What are you going to do?" Situ Qiang asked blankly.
"Of course, I went with the old slave to get the reward!" Steward Zhou complimented with a smile on his face: "My lord, this is a great joy from heaven, the old slave is here to congratulate first!"
"Rejoice, rejoice!" Situ Qiang trembled his cheeks full of flesh, and his eyes were full of smiles, "Steward Zhou is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, and Steward Zhou will be indispensable in the future!" ”
"Well said, well said!" Steward Zhou walked out of the main hall with Situ Qiang in his arms, then turned to the left, and it didn't take long for him to enter a lush mulberry forest.
The mulberry forest is deep and quiet, and a little bit of light like broken silver spills from the dense mulberry leaves.
"Steward Zhou, where is this?" Situ Qiang walked on the uneven forest path and couldn't help muttering.
"I'm sending you back to my hometown!" Steward Zhou suddenly pulled out his dagger and stabbed at Situ Qiang fiercely, His Royal Highness Hong Shizi has a deep grudge against His Majesty, if His Royal Highness Hong Shizi finds out that someone is spying on him again, it will undoubtedly make His Majesty's situation worse.
"Help!" Situ Qiang pushed Steward Zhou away with all his might, and staggered towards the direction of the main hall, Steward Zhou quickly caught up, grabbed his body and fell to the ground, and then slashed towards his neck, and a stream of blood spurted out......
"You dead fat man, you are really tired and crooked, even His Royal Highness Hong Shizi dares to keep an eye on you!" Steward Zhou kicked Situ Qiang a few more times at Situ Qiang, who was constantly writhing on the ground.
Her Majesty was worried about the affairs of Her Royal Highness Hong Shizi every day, and was worried that she couldn't find an unlucky ghost who was angry, but she didn't expect this dead fat man to crash in.
He wiped the sweat from his head, dragged Situ Qiang's body into a dry well, then clapped his hands and walked out as if nothing had happened.
He first went back to his bedroom to clean his hands, then changed into clean clothes and walked back to the main hall.
There was not a sound in the empty hall, only the crisp crash of the agate pendant hanging under the chandelier.
"Your Majesty!" He carried a new pot of tea and gently placed it next to the queen, who had been frowning and having no appetite for the past two days, so he could only make tea for the queen in a different way.
"Taken care of!" The queen glanced at Steward Zhou and took a sip of tea.
"Yes!" Steward Zhou lowered his hand and answered softly.
When the queen heard this, she set her eyes on the gardenia forest outside the palace, which was already full of snow-white buds, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers wafted in through the half-hidden windows.
She stayed for a long time before she sighed deeply, the plan she had planned for more than twenty years was actually stranded because of Yuwei's escape.
She picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup, she wanted to catch Yuwei back and blackmail Hong'er into submission, but she didn't expect Situ Qiang, who came up early in the morning, to bring her a piece of news that she couldn't face.
She was stunned for a moment, her hand shook, and the tea poured diagonally onto a stone table.
She hated to raise the teapot in her hand and slammed it on the ground, Hong'er had already found Yuwei one step ahead of her, so what else did she use to restrain Hong'er, if Hong'er went to the mountains and forests for Yuwei, then wouldn't her half-life's revenge plan be ruined!
"Your Majesty, rest your anger!" Steward Zhou hurriedly picked up the fragments of the tea set, this was already the ninth jade pot that His Majesty had broken in the past two days, and he really couldn't think of how to comfort it.
"How do you make this king calm his anger?" The queen stood up and shouted hysterically: "If Yuwei returns to the palace, this king can still compromise with Hong'er, if Hong'er escapes with Yuwei, what will the million-strong army stationed on the border do?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry! His Royal Highness Hong Shizi will not disappoint His Majesty! Steward Zhou replied stubbornly, His Royal Highness Hong Shizi has been on the same page with His Majesty for Miss Yuwei, no matter what the result is, it will be a disaster for the royal family of the Ferrand family.
"Don't worry? How can this king not worry? The queen roared with a flushed face: "Since Hong'er became infatuated with that Yuwei, this king has not been worried for a day!"
"Her Royal Highness the Zhun Hong Shizi is also rare, but she lacks some fate with Her Royal Highness the Hong Shizi!" Steward Zhou looked at the angry queen and said in fear.
"Lack of fate?" The queen laughed manically, "The king's decree is fate, even if she runs to the edge of the sky, she will become the princess of my Ferrand clan!" ”
"That's it!" Steward Zhou looked at the somewhat crazy queen, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "Your Majesty is a golden mouth, naturally a hundred times stronger than the so-called fate!"
"A hundredfold?" The queen snorted disdainfully, "There are no hundredfold, thousandfold here, only the law set by this king!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Steward Zhou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is the wise queen of the Fei Lang clan, and she will inevitably lead the Fei Lang clan to glory!"
"That's it!" The queen looked at Steward Zhou's face full of flattery, and said disdainfully: "Just your flamboyant tongue, don't you hurry up and deal with Situ Qiang's subordinates!"
"How?" Steward Zhou bowed down and asked.
"What else?" The queen glanced at him angrily, "A group of clowns who are eager for quick success should not live in this world!" ”
"The old slave obeys!" Steward Zhou answered and hurriedly walked outside the hall.
"Wait!" The queen called back Steward Zhou, who was about to disappear at the door.
"Your Majesty, what else do you command?"
"You should be secretive, Hong'er is alert, don't leave any tricks!" The queen frowned and said with a nervous expression.
"Yes!"
