Chapter 40: Meritorious Service for Guilt

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Everything was as Mu Liancheng expected, Mu Beituo failed to suppress bandits in Yunzhou, and was seriously injured, and finally returned to the capital.

The Emperor was extremely disappointed.

At this time, the ministers who supported the crown prince in the court wrote letters to advise them, and then proposed to send the prince to suppress the thieves.

Now the situation in Yunzhou is critical, and for a while he could not find a more suitable candidate than Mu Liancheng, so the emperor had to lift the ban on Mu Liancheng in advance, and ordered him to make meritorious service for his crimes, and rushed to Yunzhou to quell the chaos on the same day.

The night before leaving, Mu Liancheng came to say goodbye to Feng lightly.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on regaining his freedom!" Seeing his high-spirited appearance, Feng Qingfang couldn't help but laugh.

Recalling that day when Mu Liancheng said in his chest that he had a way to solve the predicament, she had to wonder if this guy had expected to have today.

Mu Liancheng smiled slightly, took the tea she handed over, and said, "You still need to make meritorious contributions before you can be truly free." ”

"I think that with your prestige, those bandits will be so frightened that when they learn that you are coming, they will flee in all directions and surrender without a fight." Feng Qingfang turned on the sycophant mode.

Mu Liancheng raised her eyes and looked over, only to see that under the faint light, she was smiling, her starry eyes were bright, and her white and red cheeks were even more bright and moving.

He couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart, so he quickly stopped looking over.

"Seeing that you can be alive and kicking again now, I can go with peace of mind."

"Me?" Feng Qingfang was puzzled, what was there about her that was not reassuring?

Just as he was about to speak, the warm palm suddenly attached to the back of his hand, and Mu Liancheng said softly: "Crazy, when I am not there, you must take care of yourself and go out less, so as not to cause trouble with Mu Beituo and Feng Qingwu and others, and I won't be able to come back in time to save you......"

Feng Qing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Mu Liancheng to say such words to himself so solemnly.

"I, I see."

wanted to pull his hand out of Mu Liancheng's palm, but he held it tightly.

"Also, wait until I get back."

Feng Qingfang caught a complex emotion in his eyes that seemed to be mixed with worry, and his heart was shocked.

Although she promised to marry Mu Liancheng before, it was to save Jiang Mingche, and what she said in a hurry, in fact, deep down, she didn't take it seriously, and still planned to wander the world in the future.

But now seeing that Mu Liancheng treats him affectionately, he suddenly feels a little unbearable.

If she really ran away like that, wouldn't it seem too ruthless?

"It's very dangerous for you to go to Yunzhou, so take care of yourself." Feng looked at him lightly.

Mu Liancheng hid the loneliness in his heart and chuckled: "At most, I will be able to return to Beijing in a month." ”

"After that month, how about I prepare a table of wine and food for you?"

Hearing this, Mu Liancheng's eyes brightened in an instant.

"Don't break your promise."

"Of course not."

After Mu Liancheng left, Feng Qingfang stayed obediently in the mansion for a few more days, and when the injuries on his body were completely healed, he couldn't wait to go to the streets.

"Miss, you run slower, the injury is just right, Mo fell again!" Qingtao shouted worriedly.

Feng looked back frantically and saw that she was out of breath, so she had to stop and wait.

"Qingtao, you are young, how can you be like a housekeeper, nagging, you have to worry about everything." She stretched out her right arm and put it on Qingtao's shoulder and said with a grin.

Qingtao grinned: "Doesn't the slave maid care about Miss?" ”

"Yes, Qingtao has always been the person who cares about me the most, during the period of recuperation, if you didn't take care of me meticulously, how could my injury heal so quickly?"

Feng Qingyan was sincerely grateful, "Qingtao, thank you." ”

Qingtao smiled: "It is the duty of a slave to take care of Miss, why does Miss still say thank you?" ”

"Thank you." Feng Qingyan is an open-minded person, but he has never regarded this girl as a subordinate, but as a sister.

"It's hard to get out of it today, let's go to the restaurant for a meal, Qingtao, what do you want to eat?"

Qingtao looked flattered, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "How can the slave maid eat at the same table with the young lady?" ”

"I said yes!" Feng Qingfang deliberately straightened his face, "Qingtao, in the future, when there are no outsiders, you are not allowed to call yourself a slave in front of me, do you hear?" ”

"But......" Qingtao looked at her blankly, not understanding why she made this request, "But the slave maid is a subordinate ......"

Feng Qing glared at him and said, "If you don't obey, I'll be angry." ”

Qingtao had to be obedient.

"Yes, slave...... No, it's me...... Remembered. ”

"That's right...... Feng Qingfang immediately smiled, pinched Qingtao's delicate face like a disciple, and continued to walk with her in his arms.

The two entered a magnificent restaurant, asked for a private room, and sat down to chat while drinking tea.

Qing Tao sat at the same table with Feng Qingfang for the first time, looking very restrained.

Feng Qingyan didn't talk about her, anyway, she would slowly get used to it.

Halfway through the meal, Qingtao suddenly felt a little anxious, so she got up and went to the thatched house.

Feng sat at the table frantically, drinking a little wine, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake outside the window, and his mood was comfortable for the first time in a long time.

The breeze blows on the face, bringing the fragrance of flowers outside, and the aroma of wine in the cup, which is really refreshing and intoxicating.

After a while, the footsteps behind him gradually approached, and Feng chuckled wildly and said, "You're back so soon?" The guy served the special pastry, you can try it......"

The last few words disappeared into the wind.

Feng stared at the person in front of him frantically, shock, resentment, and annoyance surged into his heart at the same time.

"How are you?"

"Frivolous, long time no see." Jiang Mingche's tone was very gentle, there was a smile hidden between his eyebrows, and the white clothes on his body were better than snow, and his demeanor was as good as at the beginning.

After being surprised, Feng Qingfang turned his gaze away at the right time and said coldly: "I don't want to see you, you can go!" ”

Jiang Mingche didn't move.

"Frivolous, I came to you on purpose, and I want to make amends to you."

Feng Qing hooked the corners of his lips wildly, revealing a mocking smile: "No need, you and I have nothing to do with each other for a long time, please leave immediately." ”

"Frivolous ......" Jiang Mingche took two steps forward, squatted down and held her hand, "You're still angry with me about that, aren't you?" If you are angry in your heart, then hit me and scold me, as long as it can make you feel better, you can do whatever you ask me to do, just please don't ignore me. ”

Feng Qingfang pulled out his hand and glanced at Jiang Mingche with cold eyes, without the slightest expression on his face.

"The imperial court is chasing the people of Sanssoucian, the capital is very strict during this time, I advise you to leave quickly, so as not to fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers, and no one will save you at that time."

"Frivolous, you still care about me, just like before, don't you?" Jiang Mingche's face was delighted.

"No, I just want you to leave quickly, so as not to be bothered by you." Feng said lightly.

Jiang Mingche's heart seemed to have been stabbed by a knife, and he was dripping with blood.

"Frivolous, you ...... Can't we just sit down and have a good talk? ”

"I really don't have anything to say to you, you go quickly, I still have to eat, please don't spoil my appetite." Feng Qingfang continued to say hurtful words, and there was still no expression on her beautiful face.

Jiang Mingche was very sad, but he didn't think that the other party said these words too much, because he couldn't stand her first.

"No matter what, if I don't tell you what is in my heart today, I won't leave."

As he spoke, he sat down next to Feng lightly.

Feng Qingfang didn't expect this person to be so thick-skinned, he was angry and anxious for a while, slapped his palm on the table, stood up with a rub, and said angrily: "You don't leave, right?" ”

"Alright, I'll go!"

Take out a silver ingot and throw it on the table, shake your head and go.

"Frivolous!" Jiang Mingche hurriedly chased out, wanting to hold Feng Qingyi's hand and forcibly keep her, but he was worried that it would backfire and make her angry and not beautiful, so he retracted his hand.

"Frivolous, you go slowly!"

Feng ignored him frantically, walked downstairs quickly to the backyard, and was about to call Qingtao to go together.

The girl just now said that she was in a hurry, she wanted to come to the thatched house, so long time has passed, and it should come out, right?

But why is there no one for a long time?

Feng shouted a few times at the top of his voice, but no one responded.

So I searched around the backyard again, but I still didn't see anyone after looking for a long time.

There was a guy sweeping the floor under the porch, and Feng Qing ran over and asked, "Little brother, have you seen a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl coming?" Where did she go? ”

The man shook his head and said, "I haven't been able to get a cup of tea, and I haven't seen anyone come except for you." ”

Calculate the time, Qingtao has been out of the guest room for more than a stick of incense, she has always acted steadily, she will not leave without greeting, but she didn't go back, is it ......

Is something wrong?

Feng Qingfang hurriedly turned around, ready to go outside to look for it.

If someone kidnaps the green peach, it must go through the back door, because there are many conspicuous people in the lobby and it is easy to attract attention.

So she went to the back door as well.

When I ran to the back door not far away, I suddenly stepped on something under my feet, and when I picked it up, it was a jade pearl earring.

This is what Feng Qingqing put on Qingtao before going out today.

Her heart tightened, and her face changed.

"Green Peach ......"

"Is this that little girl's thing?" Jiang Mingche leaned over and asked.

Feng Qingfang was so anxious that he put the earrings in his palm, pushed the back door and ran out.

Behind is a deep alley, and the fast meteor ran for a while before running to the end and coming to the long street.

"Frivolous ......" Jiang Mingche grabbed her arm and wanted to say something.

But before the words came out, he was stopped by Feng Qing: "Don't argue, I don't have the time to entangle with you now!" ”

Jiang Mingche felt aggrieved, but he didn't say anything.

"Qingtao must have been kidnapped, you are looking for it all over the street by yourself, even if you look for it for ten days and half a month, you can't find anyone!"

Although the words were not good and people were very annoying, Feng Qing came to his senses and had to admit that his words were reasonable.

Who will take the green peach away? Where did you take her? Why take her?

A series of questions poured into the boy, and Feng Qingfang only felt that his head was going to explode.

Qingtao's whereabouts are unknown, life and death are uncertain, but she is in a mess and has nothing to do.

It's so useless!
