After sending the man back to the official post, on the way back, Xiao Ren was silent.

Shen Tong urged the horse to catch up with him, and said softly, "Xiao Ren, thank you." ”

She sincerely thanked him, in her previous life, she would never have thought that one day Xiao Ren would help her catch a dragon and tiger guard in the middle of the night.

"If you want to ask about those things, you can ask me, and you still need to catch the dragon and tiger guard?" Xiao Ren said angrily.

"Okay, I see, I'll ask you directly next time." Shen Tong felt that Xiao Ren seemed to be angry, and this kid seemed to be really angry, and felt that she had failed his kindness?

"Those children were taken away because of me, I really want to know if they are safe, as for the Guan family, they and Tao Shiyi are the same dog, I guess they will be exterminated, today it is confirmed, I am very relieved." Shen Tong said.

The corners of Xiao Ren's mouth moved, and he turned his head to look at her: "I thought you would inquire about your mother's whereabouts." ”

It turned out that he had guessed that the woman in the Protectorate Mansion was not her mother.

"You guessed it?" She asked.

"Hmm." Xiao Ren said.

"What else did you guess?" Shen Tong became curious, the young Xiao Ren was too interesting.

"Those four Flying Fish Guards are also involved in catching you and your mother." Xiao Ren said.

Guessed it right again.

"They weren't the ones who went to arrest me, but they were also in Liujiawan at the time and knew something." Shen Tong didn't hide it from him.

Xiao Ren stopped talking, nor did he gallop like when he came again, and the two horses walked quickly and slowly.

"Xiao Ren." Shen Tong called him.

Xiao Ren turned his head to look at her, and under the moonlight, the young man's eyes were as clear as water.

"Is the husband who gave me the food box your father?"

"Nonsense!"

"I think he's very nice to you, like your father."

"Like your dad!"

"My dad died a long time ago."

"My dad died early, too."

"And who is he?"

"He's Amma, my uncle's retinue, and when I was young, he always let me ride on his neck."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ren stopped talking, and suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and the big black horse galloped away.

Shen Tong was stunned for a moment, this child is sick, no matter how you say it, you can turn your face.

......

The next day, the group left the ruined temple and headed northwest. Soon it snowed again, and we rested for a day along the way, and as soon as the snow stopped, we continued on our way.

Just like that, they stopped and stopped, and after more than ten days, they passed the Niangzi Pass and entered the territory of Shanxi.

The team of Qin Wangfu escorting the coffin of the prince is still in Shanxi, and it is also snowing in Shanxi, and the coffin has not entered the city, and it is now parked three miles outside the city of Jin'an Mansion. Officials at all levels under the Jin'an Mansion went to offer condolences.

Xiao Ren let Shen Tong and her people enter the city, and he took six of his subordinates to join the coffin team.

This is Shanxi, not far from Xi'an, Xiao Ren and the seven people changed their official uniforms and appeared in front of the magistrates who came to mourn.

"This official is ordered by the prince to come to greet the prince." Xiao Ren said in a deep voice, as for why he, who came to pick up the person, appeared outside Jin'an City, the magistrates didn't know, and they didn't dare to ask.

The wind and snow were blowing, and the outside of the city was not a place to stay for a long time, and seeing that the people sent by the palace had arrived, the coffin of the prince set off for Xi'an.

Shen Tong followed the team far away, walked for more than ten days, and finally arrived in Xi'an.

Shen Tong took Xu An and they found a quiet inn in the city to live in, and the next day, Azhi and Fang Fei went out to find a house.

Shen Tong stayed in the inn and didn't go out, and in the evening, Ah Zhi and Fang Fei came back, they had already found a suitable house, and they could rent it just tomorrow when Shen Tong and Xu An saw it.

Everyone was very excited, it was very hard to follow Xiao Ren on the road, if it weren't for the pot and rice noodles they carried, they didn't know how much suffering they would have to endure along the way.

Early the next morning, Shen Tong and Xu An went to see the house, which was located in the west of the city, because it was close to Qinchuan Academy, so this street was called Academy Street.

The house that I entered had three main rooms, four east and west wings, two back covers behind the main house, and two pomegranate trees were planted in the yard, all of which were bare at this time.

The landlord saw two and a half children yesterday, and when he saw Xu An today, he thought it was the adult of the family, knowing that he could call the shots, and he didn't ask for much price, and the two sides negotiated and signed the contract, Xu An paid the rent for three months at a time, and the landlord gave the key and left happily.

The funeral of the prince of Qin is a major event for the entire Xi'an and even the entire northwest. In the northwestern provinces, Daozhou counties, health offices, and household camps, civil and military officials, large and small, all came to Xi'an to offer condolences, and every day in Xi'an City, you can see chariots and horses coming from other places.

It wasn't until a month later that the prince of Qin was buried, and Lu You sighed: "It's been three or four months since the prince of Qin died, and he is only buried now, but fortunately, it's winter, and it's really not easy for people in the royal family." ”

Xu An reprimanded: "In the future, just talk about this kind of thing at home, don't talk nonsense outside." ”

They have been in Xi'an for a month, most of the time on weekdays are wandering on the streets, understanding the local customs, the people of Xi'an talk about the early death of the prince of Qin, all sad, even the old lady who set up a stall on the side of the road has to wipe the corners of her eyes: "The prince is so pitiful, he was sent to the capital since he was a child, and he can only come back after he dies, alas, the Qin Wangfu has held three funerals in five years, and the princess and the prince and the second son are all gone." ”

Returning to Shuyuan Street in the evening, Azhi said: "Everyone in the teahouse is talking about the prince, but when it comes to it, no one knows what disease the prince is suffering from. ”

They are Feiyuwei, before they were transferred to Yang Jie as a guard, they did not do some things to monitor the nobles and ministers of the court, this kind of thing, most of the news circulating in the market was deliberately released, but the cause of the prince of Qin, but there was no news at all.

"Didn't the prince of Qin die of illness?" Lu You asked.

Xu An shook his head: "The prince of Qin was a hostage in the capital, if he didn't die of illness, how else could he die?" King Qin's second son is already dead, and if the prince also dies at this time, it will not be a good thing for the empress dowager and the little emperor. ”

The two sons who were hostages were all dead, and the king of Qin had no fear.

Shen Tong didn't speak, she knew about the things in her previous life, King Qin later reversed, and became the emperor.

If the prince is still alive, will the king of Qin rebel?

Maybe it will, but the situation will be completely different, he will have scruples, and he may even send someone to steal the beam and change the pillar, and quietly bring the prince back to the northwest.

But in that case, it will be a surprise and will affect the overall situation.

I have to say that this prince of Qin died too timely.

Moreover, with the death of two sons in a row, the Empress Dowager is no longer jealous of King Qin, and she cannot blatantly let King Qin send his third son to the capital, otherwise it will definitely provoke a lot of scolding from the government and the opposition.

After all, the two emperors and grandsons who died were the descendants of Taizu who were replaced as fake.
