Chapter 171: Old Debts

The patrol team that met Li Ran and others in the big car shop returned to Licheng two days later.

After carefully reporting the details of the patrol over the past few days, the Ten-Commander hesitated and reported about the encounter with Hong Min's horse gang at the big car shop.

Qi Yi's eyebrows raised, "Did you see clearly?" Is it the waist card of Tea Horse? Are they all military horses? ”

"Yes, the villain can see it clearly, it is indeed the first-class sceles card of the Tea Horse Division. Those horses are not branded, but those horses must be military horses, and they are also the top grade of military horses. ”

The ten-captain looked at Qi Yi, who leaned towards him, and his heart lifted, and subconsciously, he felt that he had made a big mistake.

Qi Yi looked at Jian Mingrui, who frowned thoughtfully.

"What is the leader's last name? Where are the people? Does anyone know them? Qi Yi turned his head and looked at the ten-master,

"Back to Dashuai, the leader's surname is Hong, and the county lieutenant of Wanxian Gao calls him Uncle Hong.

Gao County Lieutenant is very familiar with him, saying that Uncle Hong's father, Old Man Hong, is a famous miracle doctor within a radius of hundreds of miles, who has treated cough and asthma for Wanxian County, and his home is in neighboring Ji County. The shopkeeper of the big car shop is also very familiar with him, saying that he has to go north once or twice every year. ”

The ten-captain hurriedly replied.

Qi Yi's eyebrows were raised, and he was about to raise his voice to call someone, Jian Mingrui raised his voice, grabbed ahead of Qi Yi, and ordered the ten masters: "It's not a big deal, you can step back first." ”

Seeing the ten-captain drop his hand and withdraw, Jian Mingrui met Qi Yi's gaze and showed a wry smile, "I know who it is, forget it." ”

"Forget it?" Qi Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at Jian Mingrui in disbelief.

Jian Mingrui lowered his eyes, reached out and picked up the cup, brought it to his lips but didn't drink it, for a moment, put down the cup, and looked at Qi Yi.

"Before Zining left the world, he only entrusted me with one person, one thing, that is, Hongshou in Ji County."

Qi Yi frowned slightly, "Hong Shou? In the same department as Mr. Wang, the bottom of the list? ”

"Well, after the list was released that year, Zining went to find him, and the two hit it off at first sight, and they intersected with each other.

When he was in Rong'an City, Hong Shou and Zi Ning rented together, Hong Shou, although he fell behind, but he was a very talented person, and he was good at medical skills, he was also good-natured, witty and sparse, loved to talk and laugh, as long as he was ...... at the literary meeting"

Jian Mingrui's words were suddenly choked, and for a moment, the Adam's apple rolled, as if it was stuck in his throat, and after a while, he said miserably: "Thinking back to the past, it is like a different world." ”

Qi Yi looked at him and didn't speak, only sighed lowly.

After the city of Rong'an was broken, Zining was full of anger and grievances, followed his father, and wholeheartedly wanted to ask for an explanation for the first emperor until last year...... Alas.

Hong Shou was stationed in Guangning at that time, and when he heard that the city of Rong'an was broken, he saw the intention of the first emperor, so he hung up his boots and returned to his hometown, and took his family to go away.

Hong Shou moved to Ji County, I only learned about it when Zining entrusted me.

Hong Shou's bronze waist plate of the Tea Horse Division must have been given to him by Zi Ning, and the Tea Horse Division was erected by Zi Ning with one hand, and he took care of it in his hands for more than ten years, and the situation in the north has now existed.

Alas, forget it, don't pursue it more.

That girl, even if you can get her, what can you do? Killing must not be killed, not only can not be killed, but also treated as a guest.

Xie Ze is extremely smart, he must know that we don't dare to do anything to her, in this case, what's the use of getting her? ”

"If I really got that girl, I plan to let her marry you." Qi Yi looked at Jian Mingrui, was silent for a moment, and said slowly.

Jian Mingrui was stunned, and for a moment, he laughed out loud, "Ridiculous! ”

"She married you, this justification can be attributed to us, if it really comes to us, then it will be even more justified, this is one of them.

Second, this happy letter reached Xie Ze's ears, what do you think he will do? ”

Qi Yi looked at Jian Mingrui, and there was no smile on his face.

"It's still ridiculous." Jian Mingrui's voice lowered.

"You don't need to really get married, just make a play and have a good show." Qi Yi said indifferently.

"Forget it." After a long time, Jian Mingrui said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that if this battle is lost, Shu will not exist, and the world will be one, even if this battle is a big victory, it will only last for a long time, and it will last for three or five years."

Since it is a game of death, the victory or defeat of this battle is not too important. ”

"The end of a person is a dead word, and they all want to make steamed bread stuffing. Since they are all dead words, then why bother reading poetry and books, working hard, and trying to live? Even, why live this trip? ”

Qi Yi squinted at Jian Mingrui and asked with a bit of sneer.

Jian Mingrui lowered his eyes silently, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Zining entrusted me, forget it." ”

Qi Yi didn't speak with a cold face.

"You know my ......"

"Just know, alas!"

Jian Mingrui's words were interrupted by Qi Yi.

"The time and place are favorable, and Shu is only short of time. In terms of open-mindedness and vision, you and Jian Xiang are at least no less than the father and son over there, but you are too decadent. ”

"You said that the first time you saw me." Jian Mingrui smiled wryly.

"The father and son over there are ambitious, and this ambition is also vibrant, and there is vitality. But you ......" Qi Yi didn't continue, only sighed.

Jian Mingrui lowered his eyes, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "I have been a quiet person since I was a child.

When I was a teenager, I made up my mind to be a rich idler in this life, a lifetime of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and hops, and at most spend a little effort to raise a good son.

In my life, I have a prime minister's father, and then a son, which is the word consummation. ”

The concise and sharp voice fell all the way down to the end, so low that it was almost inaudible.

Later, he got married, which was the icing on the cake.

At that time, I firmly believed that they would be able to turn the tide, but it was difficult for a few years, or more than ten years, even if it was difficult for decades, they could always get through it.

It's this difficulty, no matter what, it's not as difficult as my horse, after all, Leping is the only daughter of the emperor, and she is so beautiful......"

Jian Mingrui lowered his eyes, tears dripping down.

"In the past ten or twenty years, I have lived, and the most relied on is my anger and self-blame, that distress, I even feel that Leping is still alive, and I have been quietly looking for her all these years.

I often dreamed of her, dreamed that I had found her, and I always thought that before I died, I would be able to see her again.

Until ......"

"Do you really believe that Niko's nonsense? She hadn't seen Leping at all! Qi Yi furrowed his eyebrows and interrupted Jian Mingrui's words.

Jian Mingrui lowered his eyes and did not answer.

"That Nizi behaves rudely, you said this, and Mr. Wang also said it.

She was raised by Tao Zhong, Tao Zhong, this person, is really like you said, he was Leping's teacher at the beginning, and he is a very loyal person, but he can make her vulgar like that if he uses a little heart?

Leping must be full of hatred for that girl, if he really has a mother's love, even if it is a little bit, how could Tao Zhong raise Leping's daughter like a pig?

Leping hates her, Tao Zhong hates her, you actually believe her words? ”

Qi Yi'er is angry and doesn't fight anywhere.

"It's not even certain whether she is the legacy of the first emperor! You're ......."

Qi Yi looked at the dark and decadent Jian Mingrui, and he didn't know what to say.

Jian Mingrui was silent for a long time, glanced at Qi Yi, and although his voice was low but insistent, "Forget it, Zining entrusted me, he only entrusted this one thing, one person." ”

"Alas!" Qi Yi let out a long sigh and slapped it on the table.

……………………

In the handsome tent not far from Jin County, Xie Ze's face was gloomy, and he was described as haggard, and he looked as if he had lost a whole circle.

An Xiaozhi lifted the curtain and came in, and Xie Ze stood up.

An Xiaozhi looked at Xie Ze, who stood up, paused, a layer of embarrassment and embarrassment appeared on his face, looked at Xie Ze, and said a little vaguely: "There is still no faith." But! ”

An Xiaozhi's voice was abrupt and high-pitched.

"If you don't have a letter, you're a good believer. Princesses, they ......"

Xie Ze raised his hand to stop An Xiaozhi's words of relief, "The whereabouts of the princess, just let a few people watch it, and the rest will withdraw, the big battle is about to ......"

Xie Ze's throat choked, and after a moment, he continued: "And you, if you want to concentrate on the war, this matter will end here first." All right! ”

Xie Ze's voice was a little sharp, "You can take a look at these first." What about Shi Nan, summon all the generals to discuss! ”

"Yes!" An Xiaozhi looked at Xie Ze, one was a faint choking in the words.

He empathized with Xie Ze's heart at this moment, he was the same as him, he was worried about the princess, he was worried about Xiao Wu.

Outside the tent, Shi Nan and Xi Qing stood with their hands hanging from left to right, glancing in the direction of the gate from time to time.

Outside the gate, Sang Zhi walked very fast, rushed in, saw Shi Nan from a distance, and went straight to the handsome tent.

"How?" Shi Nan subconsciously glanced at the curtain of the handsome tent, took two steps, and asked in a low voice without waiting for Sang Zhi to speak.

Xiqing also followed closely.

"Found it!" Sang Zhi's breath was a little tight, "I've gone to Oak City."

Xiaoyuan said to Mrs. Zheng that it is my own cousin, two generations of single transmission, and there is also a cousin who has not been out of three suits, who grew up with you since childhood, and is extremely affectionate, begging him to let people go to Licheng no matter what, see if they can find it, or inquire about some letters.

said that the two of us asked him to entrust Mrs. Zheng together, and said that no matter whether we can inquire or not, we will remember his great kindness and will definitely repay it in the future.

Xiaoyuan said that the old lady Zheng immediately agreed, picked a dozen people, and asked the uncle of the Zheng family to take them to Licheng in person.

The Zheng family's industry in Licheng has always been in the hands of the Zheng family's uncle, and it is said that the Zheng family's uncle has been in Licheng for more than half of the time, and he is very familiar with the ground of Licheng. ”

Mulberry Zhi was next to Shi Nan and whispered to him.

Xiaoyuan is a small guy in Mulberry Branch, not far from Jinxian County, and the Zheng family, a big merchant in his hometown of Jinxian, is a distant relative.

"Well, if you really want to be able to inquire, even if it is a little bit of a letter, we can afford to repay this great favor. I'm afraid ......"

Shi Nan didn't say the rest of the words, only sighed heavily.

Xiqing nodded, if he could find out what kind of letter, not only them, but also the prince, would have to thank the Zheng family for this strength.

"The princess is blessed with a great life, these are the words of the crown prince." Mulberry Branch clasped his hands together and shrank in a shudder.

He only dared to think that the princess was blessed with a great life, and he didn't dare to think about anything else, and he didn't dare to think about it at all.

"Of course the princess is blessed with a great fate!" Shi Nan accentuated his tone and glared at Sang Zhi with a little dissatisfaction.

The meaning of Sang Zhi's words, he didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it, but what he heard and saw made him think ominously.

At this moment, what he heard and thought from Sang Zhi's words was simply a series of ominous and ominous, which made his mood suddenly irritable.

"When will there be a response from the Zheng family?" Xiqing's worries were a little better than Shi Nan's, patted Shi Nan on the shoulder, looked at Sang Zhi and asked.

"If it's fast, you can come back from Licheng the day after tomorrow, and if it's slow, it's the day after tomorrow." Sang Zhi hurriedly replied.

Shi Nan took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, raised his hand and patted the mulberry branch, "I'm a little impatient, let Xiaoyuan have a good rest today, and hurry over tomorrow morning, tomorrow the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, they are all staring there, until there is a reply, and, let him be careful."

At night, you and I are on duty, you are on duty in the middle of the night, let's go and rest first. ”

Sang Zhi agreed, and trotted all the way to the back tent.

Xiqing and Shi Nan stood back at the door of the handsome tent, Xiqing listened attentively to the movement inside the handsome tent, but Shi Nan was a little distracted.

From the initial anger, to anxiety, to gloom, and then to just now, the prince withdrew those sentinels who were looking for the whereabouts of the princess and summoned the generals to discuss the matter......

The prince's more and more calm and indifferent during the day, and the more and more serious anxiety and sleeplessness at night, made his heart rise higher and higher day by day.

The prince is a very persevering person, no matter what the princess is, before this battle is over, the prince will definitely be able to hold it steadily, but what about after this battle?

At that time, if the princess came back safely, it would naturally be happy and everything would be fine, but if it was ......

Shi Nan subconsciously shook his head a few times.

Sang Zhi is right, the princess has a great fortune, and Emperor Renzong has such a big merit, and now only her blood is left, as long as God has eyes......

But when has the heavens opened their eyes?

Shi Nan hurriedly took a few sips.

I was really dizzy, how could I think about this open-eyed...... Of course, the heavens have opened their eyes, and the heavens have always kept their eyes open! The sky can not open your eyes!

How did he clear his cranky thoughts!

Shi Nan took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, he couldn't think like this anymore, he had to hold on, he still wanted to think of something useful, a bunch of things......

At noon, the chicken head rice fried lily, the prince watched it for a long time, and he didn't move a single chopstick, which is usually his favorite food, it seems that he has to add two new dishes to dinner.

The prince has been eating very badly these days, and everyone is about to lose weight......

Don't think about it! Think about what to add to dinner?

Alas, it's useless to add any dishes, the prince doesn't know the taste of food at this time.

The night before yesterday, the prince was caught in a nightmare, he kept crying, he listened with his heart, he didn't dare to wake up, yesterday Xiqing said that the prince was shouting in a dream......

Shi Nan thought of the prince's sleepless night from the dishes he wanted to add for dinner, and he was stunned.
