Cen Yin looked at Duanmu Jun's bright smile, his eyes glued to her face, and her hair was swaying with the red gold butterfly he gave her last time.

As he thought, this step was really suitable for her.

Cen Yin's expression became softer and softer, and his beautiful face lacked a little bit of the usual charm.

Feng Yan looked at Cen Yin, then at Duanmujun, and then at Duanmu's smiling little face, and raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

Cen Yin quickly came back to his senses, put his right fist to his lips, cleared his throat, and said casually: "Ah Yan, I have asked the Shenshu Battalion to arrest those homeless people, how is the situation here?" ”

Feng Yan frowned slightly, and said: "I have taken a small half circle in the town before, and most of the homeless people in and out of this town should be just simple homeless, and they dare not commit murder, but some people may have seen blood, and they have become ferocious, and they rob and hurt people in the town." When I arrived here, there was a gang of thugs trying to break down the door......"

"The displaced people here must be brought under control as soon as possible, otherwise, someone will take the lead in making trouble and it will be easy to get out of control......"

"Big brother, you came just in time, I was about to send someone to send Zhen Zhen and my sister back to Beijing first."

Cen Yin followed Feng Yan's gaze and looked at Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei again, and said, "Well, I'll send fifty forbidden troops to escort them back first." ”

Cen Yin gave an order, and immediately a young general went down to deploy manpower, and then, another tall general of the forbidden army in his forties hurriedly came in, hugged his fist at Cen Yin and said, "Cen ...... Son. ”

The middle-aged general quickly glanced at the round-faced young man next to him, and replaced the word "overseer" with "childe".

"The homeless people in the town have been arrested, some of them are looking outside the town, some of them are wandering around the town and looting, there are only four or five hundred people in total, and about forty or fifty people who resist the armed weapons have been killed, and all those who surrender have been taken into custody."

The round-faced young man frowned slightly when he listened, and his eyes were dark. In less than an hour, four or five hundred homeless people said they would take it, how many forbidden troops did they dispatch?

At this time, the young general who had just gone to deploy manpower came back quickly, and asked Duanmu Fei respectfully, "Are the fourth girl and Sister Ling leaving immediately?" ”

Duanmu Fei nodded in response, then turned his head and beckoned to the round-faced young man and Ling Bai, "Little boy, let's go." ”

Her tone seemed to take for granted that the two of them were going to go to the capital with her.

Ling Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at the round-faced young man with inquiring eyes.

The round-faced young man let out an absent-minded "oh" and looked in Cen Yin's direction frequently.

The middle-aged general continued: "The last general ordered two groups of people to continue to search in the town, and it is said that some homeless people have fled west, and the last general has already let people chase ......"

The round-faced boy walked slowly behind him with his hands in his hands, as if he was contemplating, as if listening.

He dragged his steps into three steps, and slowly walked out of the shop, and when he stepped out of the threshold, Duanmufei and Duanmujun had already gotten into the carriage, Duanmufei poked out half of his face from the car window, and waved at him with a smile.

The head of the Gu guard stared at the round-faced young man with heavy eyes, and urged in a stiff tone: "This son, we are going to Beijing before the sun sets, hurry up and get on the horse." ”

The round-faced boy smiled nonchalantly, got on his horse slowly, and then the group set off immediately.

The convoy that went back was more than double the size of the previous one, and it was mighty, with more than twenty guards brought by Feng Yan in front of the carriage, and fifty soldiers of the forbidden army on both sides and behind the carriage.

Duanmu Fei looked at the street outside from the window of the carriage, and the streets that were lifeless before finally became a little popular at the moment, and those shops that were originally closed saw that the officers and soldiers were coming, and began to open the doors one after another.

Along the way, you can occasionally see some Praetorian soldiers galloping past as they patrol and search for displaced people.

A convoy soon left Daqing Town, galloping in the direction of the capital, at this moment the entrance of the town was empty, the previous homeless people were no longer there, leaving only a dozen forbidden soldiers on both sides of the city gate.

Duanmu Fei looked back at the entrance of the town from the car window, his mouth pursed slightly, and his expression was a little complicated.

Daqing Town belongs to the Gyeonggi area, and it is still like this here, she can't imagine what kind of chaos will be there in Jizhou, Jinzhou and even the north further west?!

Duanmu Jun in the carriage saw that his sister's expression was wrong, thinking that she was frightened, held her little hand, and said softly: "Zhenzhen, after we go back, shall we make sweet wine and make eggs?" "There was a false alarm today, and drinking some sweet wine and eggs before going to bed can calm your nerves and help you sleep.

"Okay." Duanmufei gave Duanmujun a sweet smile, and she was about to lower the curtains, when she saw the round-faced young man riding a horse towards her, parallel to the carriage.

The round-faced young man lazily held a piece of grass in his mouth, and said to Duanmu Fei with a smile: "Little girl, your horse is really a good horse!" He raised his hand and pointed to Feipin in front of him.

Fei Pian galloped wantonly with his hooves in the convoy, rushed to the front for a while, and ran to Duanmufei's carriage for a while, screaming twice.

"That's it." Duanmu Fei looked at his own Feipian, bent his lips and smiled, his eyes were shining, and he boasted happily, "My Feipian is one in ten thousand!" ”

The round-faced boy grabbed the grass in his mouth and shook it at Feipian, who looked at him with disdain, and then rushed to the front.

"Maxima really has a character!" The round-faced young man laughed disapprovingly, turned his head and continued to get close to Duanmu Scarlet, "Little girl, we have fought together and had adventures, you know what my surname is, I don't know what your surname is?" ”

Duanmu Fei blinked, reacted immediately, and asked, "Your surname is 'Xiao'?" ”

The round-faced young man nodded as if it were true and fake, and said with a smile: "The surname has been 'Xiao' for more than ten years, and my name is Xiao Tian." ”

Duanmu said briskly: "My surname is Duanmu. ”

"Your last name sounds good, but it's too cumbersome to write. Look how easy my name is to write! Xiao Tian chatted with Duanmu without saying a word.

As the convoy became farther and farther away from Daqing Town, the number of pedestrians on the official road began to gradually increase, but as soon as ordinary pedestrians saw the forbidden army, they naturally quickly avoided the side of the road from a distance, allowing their convoy to pass first.

Xiao Tian smacked his lips and sighed: "Fourth girl Duanmu, the forbidden army is really majestic, I am really stained with the light of the two today." A faint glint flashed under his eyes, faintly imperceptible, and then returned to his usual lazy look.

Duanmu nodded matter-of-fact and echoed, "It is indeed majestic." ”

Xiao Tian looked at her expectantly, expecting her to continue, but Duanmufei stopped talking, just looked at him with a smile.

Xiao Tian touched his chin, a little uncertain. Could this girl be aware that she is probing...... Oil and salt don't enter?

He was about to say something more, when the young general of the forbidden army suddenly rode his horse over here, hugged his fist at Duanmu and said, "Fourth girl, you will reach the capital three miles ahead." ”

Xiao Tian looked at Duanmu Fei's eyes with even more interest, and he always felt that these forbidden soldiers seemed to respect this sister more than they did for his sister. Interesting, interesting.

There are forbidden troops all the way to the side, the return journey all the way unimpeded, when a convoy to the west gate of the capital, about the beginning of the unitary, the sunset hanging in the western sky.

The guards at the city gate saw that the forbidden army was accompanying them, and they did not check the way, so they let them go directly.

After entering the city gate, Xiao Tian and Ling Bai took the initiative to say goodbye to Duanmufei, and when the two of them ran away, a burst of exclamations suddenly sounded in the convoy: "Our horses!" ”

Captain Gu shouted loudly, looking at the direction in which Xiao Tian and Ling Bai had left, looking indignant.

He just saw that the two boys were sneakily and seemed to be eavesdropping on their sons, so he felt that they were unknown and had to be guarded against.

If you are unhappy, you are not happy, after all, it is just two horses, and if you lose it, you will lose it, after the chief of the Gu guard shouted a few words, forget it, at this moment, their most priority task is to send Duanmu and Duanmu Fei back to Duanmu Mansion first.

The convoy went all the way in the direction of Quanyu Street.

Feng Yan was afraid that Duanmuxian was worried, so he had already sent someone back to Beijing to report the news, and the people in the house already knew that the eldest girl was out of danger half an hour in advance, and they all stretched their necks and waited for someone.

As soon as the convoy drove into Quanyu Street, the porter saw it, and hurriedly ran back to Tongyu, and when the convoy came to the outside of Duanmu Mansion, the main gate was already open.

Duanmujun and Duanmufei's carriage were welcomed into the mansion, and the chief of the Gu guard and his entourage of guards and the forbidden army took their own farewell and went back to resume their lives.

Duanmu Mansion was boiling because of the return of the sisters, and Han Xing was already anxiously waiting at the Yimen, so anxious that he was spinning in place.

As soon as Duanmujun and Duanmufei got out of the carriage, Hanxing flew towards the two of them, pulling one with one hand.

Han Xing looked Duanmujun up and down, left and right, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that she was safe.

After his heart landed, Han Xing had the heart to say something else, and said, "Hey, I knew that I wouldn't go to play with Dangui in this palace today." ”

She glanced at Duanmufei depressedly, originally she knew that Duanmufei was going to the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion today, so she went to Dangui, but she didn't expect that she had only been gone for a long time, and so many things had happened.

Today, when she heard the news and rushed back to Duanmu Mansion, Duanmu Fei had already set off for Daqing Town.

The more Hanxing thought about it, the more he complained, regretted, annoyed, and feared...... All kinds of tangled emotions mixed up on her little face, and finally turned into chatter.

"Cousin, you must bring more guards when you go out in the future."

"By the way, cousin Jun, you have to quickly bathe in grapefruit leaf water to get rid of bad luck."

"Scarlet cousin, why don't you wash it together. This Daqing Town is really unlucky. ”

"You will have to tell the palace carefully later, what happened in Daqing Town today."

“……”

The three cousins walked all the way, talking all the way, most of them were Hanxing alone, and Duanmujun and Duanmufei were responsible for Yinghe.

With the safe return of the sisters, it was like a monstrous wave returning to its place, and the house returned to calm, and the sky gradually darkened.

When Feng Yan came, the sky was already a dull gray-blue, and it was about to reach curfew.

Feng Yan came to Duanmu Mansion directly from Daqing Town, and he was still dusty.

Before the horse could stop, he turned over and dismounted, and was looking and hesitating to climb over the wall from when he heard the sound of the door opening loud in the silent night.

He followed the sound and looked, only to find that there was a carriage parked outside the corner door on the east side of the carriage in front of him, the curtain on one side of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and a pair of shrewd eyes looked at him coldly from a few feet away.

Hehe. Feng Yan could only smirk at the other party twice, pretending that he had no intention of climbing the wall, and walked in the direction of the carriage.

"......" Duanmu Xian in the carriage squinted at Feng Yan, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He can be sure that if he hadn't been caught by himself, this shameless stinky boy would have climbed the wall!

"Grandfather." Feng Yan smiled with a courteous face, and waved his hand at Duanmu Xian in the carriage, looking obedient, but in Duanmu Xian's eyes, this was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

A wolf on the lookout.

Feng Yan didn't see Duanmu Xian's dislike, and said cheekily: "Grandfather, I'm here to find Zhen Zhen." ”

Of course, this stinky boy is here to find the four girls. Duanmu Xian secretly said in his heart, according to his original intention, it was all night, and it was good to send this stinky boy, but the problem was that even if he didn't let him enter the door, with this stinky boy's usual style, he would probably have to climb over the wall.

The lesser of two evils.

Instead of letting him entangle his four girls in a place where he can't see, it's better to keep an eye on it himself!

Duanmu Xian secretly struggled in his heart, and then said lightly: "Then let's go in together." ”

So, the porter found out that the old lady personally brought the future fourth aunt into the door.

It seems that the old lady is really very satisfied with the future fourth aunt. Several porters secretly exchanged glances, some welcomed the carriage into the house, some greeted the guests with a smile, and some went to Zhanqing Courtyard to call the four girls according to the old lady's instructions.

Feng Yan entered the room as he wished, and sat in the Zhaohui Hall waiting for Duanmufei.

Although Duanmu Xian didn't like Feng Yan, after all, Feng Yan took someone to Daqing Town to pick up his eldest granddaughter back today, and he still reluctantly rewarded him with a smile.

"Ah Yan, I've worked hard for you today." Duanmu Xian said politely.

"It should." Feng Yan said respectfully.

Duanmu Xian also felt that it was "deserved" in his heart, but for some reason, Feng Yan said this, which made him not very happy in his heart. Hmph, this stinky boy is not courteous to his own four girls!

Duanmuxian picked up the tea that the maid had just served, took a sip of hot tea, and pretended to reprimand: "But Ah Yan, why shouldn't you take Zhen Zhen to take the danger." ”

Feng Yan also lowered his head to drink tea, smiling silently.

Before Duanmu Xian could say something, he saw Feng Yanhuo standing up, looking out of the hall with shining eyes, and shouted:

"Vera!"

In the courtyard outside the hall, Duanmu Fei, who had changed into a scarlet dress, was walking towards the Zhaohui Hall, and a maid walked in front of her with a lantern to guide her, and the light emitted by the lantern was gilded with a hazy halo around her, and her little face was as smooth as jade.

Duanmu Xian's face sank.

Duanmu Fei also saw Feng Yan in the hall, and a bright smile appeared on his delicate little face, and he walked over quickly.

"Grandfather." She greeted Duanmu Xian first, and then greeted Feng Yan with a smile, "Ah Yan, you just came back from Daqing Town?" ”

"Hmm." Feng Yan wanted to take her hand, but after all, he didn't dare to make a move under Duanmu Xian's scorching gaze, so he could only look at her eagerly and beckoned her to sit down beside him.

Duanmu Fei always felt that the atmosphere between Feng Yan and Duanmu Xian seemed to be a little strange, looked at the two of them back and forth, sat down next to Feng Yan, and thought: Didn't the porter who came to report say that her grandfather brought Ah Yan here?

"It's over in Daqing Town, I'll be back immediately." Feng Yan diligently put a plate of dim sum on the small square table between the two of them to Duanmufei's side, "The homeless people in Daqing Town are not a problem, but there are about five hundred, and the trouble is that there are still a large number of homeless people coming from Jinzhou...... The follow-up matters are all handed over to Mu Jinfan. ”

Feng Yan said as he consciously peeled the pine nuts for her and put the peeled pine nuts on a separate plate.

Pine nuts are so fragrant and delicious. Duanmu Scarlet was responsible for eating.

This scene made Duanmu Xian's mood even more complicated, and he wanted to say to his little granddaughter that he had a short hand for eating people, and he would have to pay back what he ate in the future! …… No, this pine nut is homegrown.

Feng Yan was still peeling the pine nuts unhurriedly, and continued: "I asked the two bandits who were caught on Heqing Street before to be interrogated. They said that when they came out of a pawnshop in Daqing Town this afternoon, a ruffian and hooligan accosted them, saying that there was a rich and noble family giving porridge at the entrance of the Chenghuang Temple on Zhangshu Street, and that the family was rich and unkind, so they added sand to the porridge...... They will temporarily want to take down their sister and get a good vote. ”

What the?! Duanmuxian listened, he didn't have the heart to drink tea anymore, and put down the teacup in his hand heavily, his face sinking like water.

After the two granddaughters returned to Beijing at dusk today, Duanmuxian went back to the house at the beginning of Youchu, listened to the two granddaughters roughly talk about Daqing Town, and comforted the eldest granddaughter, and then hurriedly went back to the yamen, until he was busy until this moment before going to the yamen.

He thought that it was just bad luck for his eldest granddaughter to be targeted by bandits, but when he heard Feng Yan say this, someone actually deliberately framed his family.

Duanmu Xian's eyes were dark, and he asked in a deep voice, "Ah Yan, can you find out who it is?" ”

Feng Yan shook his head, "I asked the painter to draw a portrait according to the description of these two people, and I asked Steward Chen to see it, saying that I didn't know this person." ”

"This matter must be investigated! Check it out! The more Duanmu Xian thought about it, the more angry he became, and slapped his palm heavily on the small square table on the side.

"Grandfather, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me." Feng Yan's words were said to Duanmu Xian, but his eyes were unblinking as he looked at Duanmu Fei and begging for rewards.

Duanmu bent the corners of his lips and hurriedly peeled an almond for Feng Yan.

Feng Yan smiled contentedly.

Duanmufei ate some pine nuts, and his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the tea cup on the side and took two sips of Biluochun.

Not. Good tea.

She savored the good tea in her cup, completely oblivious to the fact that a little maid behind her was looking at her with a strange look.

The little maid originally came to serve tea to Duanmu, but unexpectedly found that the fourth girl already had tea in her hand.

Odd?

The teacup that the little maid had just picked up froze in mid-air, and she obviously hadn't served tea to the fourth girl yet.

So, where did the tea of the four girls come from?

The little maid blinked, slowly looked towards Feng Yan, and found that his hand was empty, and the cup of tea she had served him before was gone.

The little maid realized something, her body stiffened even more, and she looked at the blue and white porcelain teacup in Duanmufei's hand again.

She...... She...... Does she want to tell the fourth girl that she took the wrong teacup?

Duanmu Fei seemed to feel the strange gaze of the little girl, and looked up at her from the tea soup suspiciously, and raised her eyebrows.

The little girl was stunned by this, and without thinking about it, she put the new tea she had just brewed in her hand into Feng Yan's hand.

Feng Yan wanted to go to serve the teacup, but when his fingers touched the teacup, he suddenly paused and asked casually: "Zhenzhen, where is the little boy?" ”

"After Xiao Gongzi entered the city, he parted ways with us, and he said that he would find an inn to live in the capital." Duanmu replied.

Seeing that he looked at her eagerly, and thought that he still wanted to eat almonds, she peeled two more almonds for him.

Looking at this scene, the corners of Duanmuxian's mouth twitched again and again, and he didn't know that he sighed secretly for the first time: Girls are outgoing!

Even his grandfather has never eaten the almonds peeled by his little granddaughter!

The more Duanmu Xian looked at Feng Yan, the more unpleasant he became, and after clearing his throat, he planned to issue an expulsion order to Feng Yan: "It's not too early......

Feng Yan also felt that it was not too early, and then Duanmu Xian's words said: "Zhen Zhen, you should rest early tonight, you should be tired from traveling back and forth in the afternoon." I'll go first. ”

Duanmu Xian nodded thoughtfully.

Duanmu Fei was actually not tired, but when the two men present felt that she should be "tired", she could only be obedient.

"Ah Yan, then I'll send you." Duanmu Fei personally sent Feng Yan out.

Duanmu Xian didn't have time to stop it at all, so he watched the backs of the two of them drown in the thick night.

Duanmu Xian sighed, and before he could utter his sigh, he was suppressed by the sound of beatings from outside.

The day has come.

At this moment, it is already curfew time, and the street of Quanyu is empty, except for the husband who passes by, there is no one.

Feng Yan has always ignored any curfew, he blew a whistle to invite the sky, and rode away.

However, he did not go in the direction of the Princess's Mansion, but went straight to the Xuanguo Mansion.

Old lady Chu hadn't stopped at this hour, and immediately asked people to welcome Feng Yan to his outer study.

"Old lady Chu, last time you said that Ting Shu should be in Sichuanzhou, are you sure?" After Feng Yan gave the old lady Chu a salute, he asked straight to the point.

"......" Old Lady Chu looked at Feng Yan in surprise, a little puzzled.

He narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful look on his face.

Of course, Feng Yan wouldn't ask him this question for no reason...... Could it be that Feng Yan found something wrong when he checked the whereabouts of his grandson?

On the Ruyi small square table by the window was the book that the old lady Chu had just read half, and as soon as the evening breeze blew, the pages of the book would automatically turn the page "brush, brush, brush".

Old Lady Chu's eyes changed brightly and secretly, and her fists were subconsciously clenched together.

It was about his grandson Chu Tingshu, who had been missing for many years, and the old lady Chu naturally didn't dare to be scornful, and said in a fifteen-ten: "It's me from Chu Qingyu...... If you get there......"

Old Lady Chu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Ah Yan, why don't I call Chu Qingyu and ask again?" There was a bitterness in his voice.

Feng Yan nodded.

Old lady Chu summoned the chief steward, and after a few words, the chief steward hurriedly took the order and left.

After that, there was silence in the outer study.

The two didn't speak anymore until the chief steward came back, and with him was Chu Qingyu.

Chu Qingyu has been detained in the mansion for more than a month, compared to more than a month ago, she is now so thin that she is almost out of shape, her skin is rough, her cheeks are slightly sunken, her greasy hair is loosely pulled at will, and her hair is messy, no different from a crazy woman and beggar on the road.

For more than a month, her life has been difficult, relying on the last belief in her heart to support her, every day she will tell herself over and over again that as long as there is a bargaining chip of "Chu Tingshu", her grandfather will compromise sooner or later.

Finally, her grandfather was going to see her again.

A spark of hope faintly flashed in Chu Qingyu's empty eyes, as long as her grandfather was willing to see her, she could negotiate terms with her grandfather.

"Ah......h

Chu Qingyu looked at Old Lady Chu eagerly, her voice was completely broken, and she could only squeeze out this rough and ugly sound.

She only screamed, and then stopped abruptly, and she looked at the young man sitting next to Old Lady Chu in disbelief.

Seal the flames!!
