Regarding the matter of Yanbei, King Qin had already learned from Zhou Zheng's mouth, but when he heard that Shen Tong had returned, he was still very interested.

Shen Tong didn't completely hide it.

For a person like King Qin, it is impossible to hide it thoroughly.

Besides, who of those people under the King of Yanbei County now doesn't know Miss Shen's name.

If King Qin really wanted to know these things, someone would find out to him.

Xiao Ren accompanied Shen Tong to the palace, on the way, Xiao Ren said to Shen Tong: "Last time I came back ten days late, I have already told the prince, I happened to meet the king of Yanbei County on the way back, and saw that all the people he brought were gone, I couldn't bear it, after all, it was the nephew of the prince, and the two little county lords came to Xi'an again, so I helped him find a place to live, let him settle down temporarily, and then I came back." ”

Therefore, Shen Tong told King Qin that after Xiao Ren left, she helped the king of Yanbei County to build another cottage, and the king of Yanbei County made up his mind not to return to the palace, and Yang Qin's father and son were busy with the war, and they didn't take care of this side for the time being, and now there are more than 1,000 bandits under the king of Yanbei County, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, and they can protect themselves for the time being.

"The prince of the county asked me to bring you a few skins, and he said that now he can only take out these things, please don't dislike it." Shen Tong said.

King Qin's heart was sour, he had never seen this nephew, if it wasn't for the wedding of the king of Yanshan Beijun, he would have almost forgotten that there was still this person.

"Alas, this kid is really pitiful, this king heard that he is frail and sickly, and now he lives in the deep mountains and old forests, can his body still hold up?" King Qin asked.

Shen Tong shook his head: "The reason why I came back a few days late is because he is sick. The mountains and forests of Yanbei are full of Qiongzhi jade trees, although the scenery is beautiful, but it is cold and abnormal, the snow does not begin to melt until May and June every year, and the snowflakes fall again before September arrives. The prince of the county has grown up in the palace since he was a child, he has suffered this kind of hardship, he fell ill as soon as he arrived there, and then he would be sick in bed at every turn, and I was embarrassed to speak when I wanted to come back. But he was sensible and stubborn, and now that the weather was getting warmer and his body was just better, he urged me to move quickly. ”

When Shen Tong said this, he felt sad in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily turned red.

This is true feelings, and in the eyes of King Qin, he especially feels that the king of Yanbei is pitiful.

Shen Tong was right, that kid was both sensible and stubborn.

In addition to entrusting the two younger sisters, he did not ask his uncle for help to avoid King Qin from being in a dilemma, which is of course sensible.

would rather live in the deep mountains and old forests than be held hostage by Yang Qin anymore, this is stubbornness.

What's more, he's still weak.

Whether it is physical or ability, the king of Yanbei is very weak.

The royal family has no affection.

The sensible and stubbornness of the king of Yanbei County are just right, and his weakness is just right to neutralize his sensibility and stubbornness...... Nothing more.

King Qin sighed in his heart, until Shen Tong said goodbye, King Qin was still embarrassed.

Back then, the three emperor brothers became famous at a young age, made great achievements, and were the best among the brothers, and the king of Qin at that time also privately thought that if the frail and sickly prince was gone, would his father pass the throne to the three emperor brothers?

Now that I think about it, I was too naïve at that time.

After the death of the crown prince, even if the father did not follow the mountain collapse, even if the father had the strength to choose the person who passed on the throne, that person would not be the third emperor's brother Yan Wang.

Yan Wang Yong is brave, but he lacks to be prepared for danger in times of peace and take precautions......

Thinking of this, King Qin summoned his chamberlain and asked, "How are the children in Ci'an Village selected?" ”

The servant said: "The slave maid picked out nine people, seven boys and two girls, the oldest is fifteen years old, the youngest is only eleven years old, they are all smart and clever good children, their origins are still being verified one by one, this matter is not alarming the county lord, these nine children do not know, but the slave and maid privately observed and recorded." ”

As he spoke, the chamberlain took out a pamphlet from his sleeve and held it in front of King Qin with both hands.

King Qin took the booklet, nodded, and said, "Even if the county lord knows, it doesn't matter, to tell the truth." ”

The attendant leaned over: "The slave knows." ”

King Qin waved his hand, and the chamberlain retreated.

King Qin opened the booklet and flipped through the pages.

The names and ages of the nine children are on the booklet, as well as their places of origin, and most of the teenage children can tell where they came from, and from the records in the booklet, their origins are clear at a glance. Either they were orphans of soldiers who died in battle, or children of ordinary peasant families, because of the war, they were either orphans or separated from their families, and most of the orphans in Ci'anzhuang came from this background.

What we need to check now is the authenticity of these origins.

King Qin's gaze rested on the last name.

Name: Jia Xiaokai

Age: fifteen years old

Date of entry into Ci'an Village: March 10 of this year

Nationality: Zhangye

Origin: His father was a businessman, and he was born in the outer room when he went to Jiangnan to do business in his early years. After his father returned to his hometown, he was cut off, after his mother died, he was taken away by people's teeth, sold to Henan, he was young and ignorant, heard that Henan is not far from Shaanxi, mistakenly thought that he could go to Zhangye in Shaanxi, so he escaped from the buyer's house, begging all the way to Shaanxi, only to know that the original from Xi'an to Zhangye is thousands of miles away, and he does not know his father's name, when his father left, he was still in swaddling clothes, there is no way to find, so he wandered the streets, mixed with the beggars, until this year came to Ci'anzhuang.

King Qin read this page several times, and called the chamberlain in again.

"Check this person in detail, he said that he was once sold to Henan, so send someone to Henan to investigate."

......

Shen Tong came out of King Qin's study and went to the back house to see Concubine Ding.

Although Concubine Ding is only a concubine, the people around Yikuan and Yining are all handled by Concubine Ding.

The king of Yanbei County also asked Shen Tong to bring a generous gift to Concubine Ding, which was a box of Dongzhu.

And, this is the real top.

Nowadays, even the Queen Mother, who loves pearls, is difficult to find such good beads.

Concubine Ding opened the box and was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "This gift is too valuable. ”

Shen Tong's role is just the person who helps bring things to her, and Concubine Ding's kind words can only be said, so she can't help but accept it.

What the king of Yanbei gave to the king of Qin was only a few skins, and this box of Dongzhu was worth dozens of skins like that.

Concubine Ding didn't dare to accept it quietly, so she took Dongzhu to see King Qin that night.

King Qin doesn't like Concubine Ding, but he has always valued Concubine Ding, the reason is that Concubine Ding is introverted and steady, knowledgeable and interesting.

Seeing Concubine Ding's sincere fear, King Qin smiled: "You just have to accept this bead, I'm afraid that the child's gift to Yining is more valuable, he wants to ask you to treat his sisters well, and I think this is all he can take out." ”

The beads were enough to feed an army of a thousand men, but he took them out and gave them to the ladies who took care of his sister.

This kid wants more stability than anything else.
