Chapter 580: Going to the Banquet

"I know," Qingwan nodded slightly: "This must be a carrier pigeon, bringing a code." ”

"Lord Shangshu is back."

As soon as the words fell, I saw that Lu Yanyi had already walked in, and frowned when he saw this: "What's wrong?" What should not be done yet, what should I do? What does the mess look like? ”

The butler Nono continued to speak, and dispersed with his servants. Here Qingwan briefly explained what happened: "You said that these two big living people, why did they disappear?" ”

Lu Yanyi was not in a hurry, walked to the main hall and sat down: "Do you still need to ask?" The kung fu of the heron is also extraordinary. ”

"How?" Qingwan was slightly surprised: "You said that the princess is skilled?" Why didn't I see it at all? ”

"Real people don't show their faces," Lu Yanyi smiled: "How many masters are not revealing on the surface." When I first went to the Turks, I heard that the green heron has practiced martial arts since childhood, and the worshippers are all famous teachers. ”

"You mean, the heron took the crown brother away?" Qingwan seems to believe it or not.

Lu Yanyi was very sure: "If you don't believe it, just look at it, what else can it be besides this?" ”

"Where will the heron take Brother Crown?" Qingwan couldn't help but worry: "Will it be brought to the Turks?" ”

"If you don't go back to your hometown, will you still stay in Qianzhou City, waiting for someone to chase her and find her?"

"What should I do?" Qingwan immediately couldn't sit still: "The princess is a straight person, leave in a fit of anger, will something happen?" Brother Guan is also not talking to people, these two"

"It's useless for you to be anxious now," Lu Yanyi said: "Things have happened, so let's calm down first and think of a perfect plan." This is nothing more than anything else, and if you are not careful, it will be related to the movement of swords in two places. ”

"That's why I'm in a hurry," Qingwan paced back and forth, "You can help me find a way?" ”

"The princess had a misunderstanding with Brother Guan, so she left in a bad mood," Lu Yanyi thought about it: "It's nothing more than listening to the complaints and provocations of those subordinates, thinking that Brother Guan is framing her subordinates, and also looking down on the Turks, so it has caused such a big contradiction, and now we have to find out what happened first, and when the time comes, even if we see the green heron, we have something to explain, otherwise, we will still not be able to solve this misunderstanding." ”

After speaking, he called outside: "Where is the little guy with Brother Guan?" ”

A moment later, the butler came in with a frightened little servant, fifteen or sixteen years old, who was so frightened that he fell to his knees as soon as he entered.

Qingwan knew him, and he had been with Hanguan for a few days, and he always seemed to be steady, and he was also old in speaking and doing things, so he said: "Master Fang Caiwei asked you to go to the street, what did you inquire about?" ”

"Lu Shangshu, madam, don't blame the little ones, the little ones are all acting according to orders," the little guy trembled and couldn't speak.

"You say everything you can't say anything, and if you don't say anything like this, see how I punish you!" Lu Yanyi said impatiently.

"Yes, yes," the little guy was so frightened that he responded, "At that time, Lord Wei told the little one to go out and ask what was going on on the street, Lu Shangshu, madam, you two don't know, the little one went out to take a look, this is good, the street is in a mess, several vegetable stalls are messed up, those vendors are picking up vegetables on the ground, and the owners of two restaurants are also standing on the street and shouting urgently, saying that the Turks don't pay for food, just write an IOU, or throw down some Turkic things and it's over." What is especially infuriating is that an old woman with a little girl was knocked to the ground, and many people gathered around to watch and talk about it. The little one hurriedly went over to ask, the old woman was helped up, although nothing happened, her legs and feet were bruised, the little one touched her body, only the five taels of silver that Lord Wei rewarded yesterday, so she had to give the old woman the original hundreds of dollars, and the crowd dispersed. ”

"You're doing a good job." Lu Yanyi praised.

"Don't dare, this is what Master Wei usually teaches," the little guy hurriedly said: "Although they are all dispersed, but the people on the street are talking a lot, saying that in the past two days for some reason, this group of Turks has appeared, as soon as they come to the street, the merchants and the people have suffered, eat for nothing, and be quite unreasonable, see what is good, rob and leave, let them give money, and they can't understand the words, and can't calculate the accounts, and they didn't say a few words to them, so they got angry and wanted to beat people, and the little one asked many people, all of them said so, and dared to come back to tell Lord Wei." Lu Shangshu and his wife Mingjian, what the little one said was true, and they didn't dare to tell a word of lie, if they didn't believe it, just go to the street and ask. ”

"You get up first," Lu Yanyi said, "The old woman and the little girl, do you remember what they looked like?" ”

"Remember," replied the little servant.

"Well, then, go down, and you shall not leave for these two days, for I will call you if anything happens." Lu Yanyi commanded.

The little servant agreed to go down, and Qingwan just wanted to speak, only to see the housekeeper come in and say, "The state government sent someone to say that the prefect sent a post, and asked Lord Wei to come to the banquet in the evening." ”

"Got it," Lu Yanyi looked calm: "Let the person wait for a while, and bring a letter back later." ”

"Yanyi, what should I do?" Qingwan was a little anxious, "If you let the government know"

"It doesn't matter, I'll write a letter first, find an excuse, stabilize it first," Lu Yanyi said, hurriedly wrote a few lines, and called in the housekeeper: "Give this to the people who come and bring it back, and say that their prefect will know it at a glance." ”

The housekeeper agreed to take the letter and went out, and here Qingwan couldn't help but ask, "What is written in your letter?" ”

"It's just a lie for the time being," Lu Yanyi smiled: "I said that I left Brother Guan in the pharmacy here, and I can't go to the banquet today." Otherwise, what else can I say? ”

"That's it." Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief: "But it's not a long-term solution, this, Brother Guan should return to Beijing tomorrow to resume his life, this day can't be changed, I can't find anyone at that time, and I will delay the date of returning to Beijing, but it's a big crime!" ”

"What's the use of you being in a hurry? I can only hurry up and find it. ”

"You said it simply," Qingwan was worried: "Where to find it?" ”

The corners of Lu Yanyi's lips drew a trace of arc: "For today's plan, there is no other way, but the two of us can go to the Turks in person!" ”

Qingwan was taken aback: "Go to the Turks? ”

"So what do you say?" Lu Yanyi looked at her: "Do you still expect the princess to put the crown brother back?" ”

Although Qingwan also knew that only this method could be tried, he still felt a little drumming in his heart when he thought of going to the Turks.

Lu Yanyi laughed: "With me by your side, what are you afraid of?" Who can eat you? I didn't expect you to be so timid! ”

"Who said that?" Qingwan said: "I've never been there, and I don't know what it's like there, so I'm naturally a little overwhelmed." For the sake of Brother Guan, even if I go up to Sword Mountain and go down to the Sea of Fire, I won't frown, what are the Turks afraid of? ”

"Isn't that all there is to it?" Lu Yanyi said with a smile: "Don't listen to those nonsense in the Central Plains, how barbaric the Turks are, in fact, they are all the same head, two legs, and they are not the kind of unreasonable people, you can know it with your own eyes." Didn't you and Princess Heron hit it off at first sight? ”

"What else do you say?" Speaking of this, Qingwan couldn't help but get angry: "It's in vain that I'm so good to her, treat her like a sister, I didn't expect to do such a thing!" ”

"Qinglu has been pampered since childhood, but she has such a rude temper, what else do you not see?" Lu Yanyi said: "Forget it, let's leave quickly, without further ado." ”

"Is there anything I need to prepare?"

Lu Yanyi shook his head: "No, let's see the situation when we get there." ”

The two of them instructed the housekeeper a few words, and hurried out the door.

"It's not an hour or two to go here," Qingwan sat in the carriage and said worriedly: "What if I can't come back in a few days, and the state government comes to find Brother Guan?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this," Lu Yanyi closed his eyes and pretended to sleep: "Before leaving, I have already left a letter for the housekeeper, if anyone comes, just give the letter to the prefect." ”

"You've got a trick up your sleeve?" Qingwan smiled unconsciously: "How did you write it?" ”

"Let's just say that we took Brother Guan to the mountains to inspect medicinal materials, and it will take three or five days to get home," Lu Yanyi said: "It doesn't matter, Qianzhou is so far away from the capital, the date on the road is difficult to determine, and it doesn't hurt to delay for two days." ”

"I hope we can bring Brother Guan back smoothly," Qingwan was uneasy: "Qinglu is a sensible girl, she won't be so unreasonable, right?" ”

Hurrying up, several hours earlier than normal, the two arrived in the territory of the Turks in the early hours of the morning.

Qingjuan is the first time to come to Saiwai, from the capital to Qianzhou all the way, she already feels very desolate, but from Qianzhou to the Turkic side, it is more and more sparsely populated, gradually, even a figure can not be seen, which makes her feel even more uneasy.

"You've never seen anything like this, have you?" Lu Yanyi saw her thoughts, and said softly: "This is the case outside the Saiwai, there are herds of cattle and sheep, and the sky is blue and the clouds are low, but it also has a different flavor. ”

"No wonder no one wants to come here to fight," Qingwan's voice gradually lowered: "The wind and sand here are full of wind and sand, and the climate is harsh, it is really too hard." ”

"When you first arrived, you felt that it was so difficult, but in fact, although the Turks have lived here for generations, they may not feel comfortable, but there is no way, it is difficult to leave." Lu Yanyi said: "And there is little communication with the Central Plains, as Qinglu said, life is still not easy, if the marriage of the crown brother is completed in the future, the people in the two places will also benefit a lot." ”

Qingwan looked at him a little surprised: "Are you still thinking about this marriage?" I don't have any other wishes, as long as Brother Guan can come back safely, I will be relieved! ”

Lu Yanyi smiled: "You just put a hundred hearts!" I dare to guarantee that not only will Brother Guan be safe, but this marriage will also be nine times out of ten! ”

"Really"

"We're all from here, what else don't we know?" Lu Yanyi said with a smile.
