Chapter 142: Passing by
The prince has always known that Xiao Hanyin wants to live an ordinary life, and once he tells Xiao Hanchen about his whereabouts, he is afraid that he will not be able to hide his fake death.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to hide Xiao Hanyin's matter for the time being.
The prince would rather Xiao Hanchen continue to blame himself than go against his will.
Xiao Hanyin is doing well now, since these are what he wants, the prince is unwilling to force him......
"No, I heard that there are a few shops here, and the things sold are excellent, so I came to take a look!" Xiao Hanchen's eyes drooped, and he didn't give him a look from beginning to end.
"In that case, I'll go first!" Regarding the fact that the relationship between the two could not return to the past, although the prince felt very regretful in his heart, he didn't want to force it.
"Wait a minute, I heard that His Royal Highness suddenly left the imperial city some time ago, I don't know where you went?" Xiao Hanchen asked.
Although Xiao Hanchen didn't want to have anything to do with the prince anymore, he wanted to know where the prince went some time ago and why he paid so much attention to the business of this restaurant.
Who opened this restaurant, and what does it have to do with the prince?
Although the prince is easy-going, not everyone can make him treat him differently.
Xiao Hanchen had doubts in his heart, so he wanted to inquire about the whole story.
"Gu Qian went to Ningcheng to do something, and Lord Xiao seems to be very interested in Gu's whereabouts!" At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the private room, and the prince did not hide the breath on his body anymore.
"Don't dare, the lower official is just worried about the safety of His Highness!" He felt that the prince's trip to Ningcheng must have something inside.
"Don't worry, Lord Xiao, it's just to solve a trivial matter, but I'm very curious, why is Lord Xiao here today?" The prince didn't want him to continue asking.
Xiao Hanyin's whereabouts, if he wanted to say it, Xiao Hanchen was afraid that he would have known it a long time ago.
Previously, he sent a message to himself out of desperation, and the prince knew in his heart that if it weren't for Lord Fu's minions who deceived people too much, Xiao Hanyin would not have let anyone know his whereabouts at all.
He wants a quiet life and is no longer involved in the open and secret battles between the court and China.
Xiao Hanyin was originally a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and he would enter the palace as a companion for his father and family at the beginning.
The prince also saw through the indifference in his bones and appreciated his style of acting, so he would be close to him like a brother.
Therefore, he chose to conceal it, even though he knew that Xiao Hanchen loved his brother very much, the prince was still tight-lipped as a bottle.
However, Xiao Hanchen seems to know something, with his temperament, even if he doesn't say anything, I'm afraid that he will find out sooner or later.
The prince only hoped that Xiao Hanyin could be prepared in his heart.
Now, he is so focused on Liu Qingshao and their business that he has no time to take care of anything else......
Although the crown prince denied it, Xiao Hanchen still planted a seed of doubt in his heart.
He was already meticulous, otherwise he would not have arranged for people to keep an eye on the prince's whereabouts.
Xiao Hanchen didn't dare to blatantly send someone to stare at the prince, so he could only secretly pay attention to his actions......
It's been so long, the prince suddenly went to a little-known Ningcheng, how could Xiao Hanchen not be suspicious.
However, he knew that the prince would not tell him the truth.
So, Xiao Hanchen did not stay in the restaurant, but went directly to other places.
After he left, the prince didn't stop any longer, he wanted to secretly take care of Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin's business, but he didn't expect it to attract Xiao Hanchen's attention.
The crown prince felt that he was too careless, after all, he was the prince, and his every move was noticed.
So, he immediately left Zhou County with his entourage.
He decided to be more careful in the future.
There is no good stubble in the imperial city, Xiao Hanchen cares about his younger brother so much, and he will not stop if he does not find out his whereabouts.
Back then, Xiao Hanyin's plan to fake his death deceived many people, but the people who were sincere to him never believed that he would die like this.
Xiao Hanchen and the crown prince are one of them.
However, when Xiao Hanyin left, he asked his henchmen to hint to the prince that he was still alive.
He didn't want the prince to be haunted by his 'death'.
The crown prince is the future emperor, and he still has a lot to do.
In fact, Xiao Hanyin had also thought about revealing the news of his fake death to Xiao Hanchen, but when he thought of his father, he dispelled his thoughts......
Xiao Hanchen couldn't get any useful clues from the prince's mouth, so he immediately sent someone to investigate the restaurant.
The prince came from the imperial city, but he only came to this restaurant to eat, Xiao Hanchen felt that things were unusual.
Therefore, he plans to investigate this restaurant thoroughly, and maybe he can get some clues he wants.
The news that Xiao Hanchen stayed in Zhou County, the prince heard about it at the beginning.
However, he didn't care at all, after all, people in Zhou County didn't know who the owner of the restaurant was.
What's more, the shop was opened by Liu Qingshao, even if Xiao Hanchen found something, he wouldn't find Xiao Hanyin so quickly.
Previously, the prince wanted to send a message to Xiao Hanyin, but he was worried that his letter would be intercepted by others, so he didn't do anything.
He felt that as long as he didn't show his abnormality, Xiao Hanchen couldn't be sure even if he doubted it......
After Xiao Hanchen checked for a few days, he finally learned that the owner of this shop was in Ningcheng at this time.
The prince also went to Ningcheng some time ago, so he should know the owner of this restaurant.
There are very few people in the entire court who can make the prince value him so much, and his younger brother is one of them. qq
Back then, he had a very good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no matter what the two did, they were together, and the person who could let the prince take care of him personally was probably the younger brother he had been looking for.
After Xiao Hanchen thought of this, he was very excited.
He had been looking for so long, and he was about to despair, accepting the fact that his brother had died, but God gave him a glimmer of hope.
Although the person who was far away in Ningcheng was not necessarily his younger brother, Xiao Hanchen still decided to go over and find out for himself.
If his younger brother is still alive, then everyone will be happy, if the other party is not Xiao Hanyin, he will not be discouraged, no matter what, he will keep looking for it.
If he doesn't see his real body for a day, he'll never die.
After Xiao Hanchen packed his simple luggage, he hurried to Ningcheng.
During this period, he did not even stop, and kept traveling overnight.
He wanted to reach Ningcheng as fast as possible.
At this time, Xiao Hanyin didn't know that his brother had already discovered the clue and was about to come to Ningcheng to find him.
In the past few days, their business has been on fire, and because of the secret shock of the prefect, no one dares to come to them for trouble.
After the prefect took his brother-in-law away, he hinted at the county order that he must take good care of Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin.
They will never be generalized......
Seeing that the prefect took such good care of them, the county commander felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.
After all, he never thought of going against Liu Qingshao and them.
After the business stabilized, the merchant ships were almost built.
Their merchant ships are all built by Liu Qingshao according to modern design, which is more practical and safer than ancient merchant ships.
After all, there are robbers on the sea, and Liu Qingshao doesn't want anyone to have an accident, so when building a merchant ship, he deliberately added some mechanisms.
"Han Yin, let's leave for other places tomorrow!" For a number of reasons, this plan has not been implemented.
"Are you going to go south or north?" Xiao Han's dark eyes stared at her.
"Southern!" The imperial city is in the north, and all Liu Qingshao deliberately chose the opposite direction from the imperial city.
She could sell what she had made to the Imperial City, but she didn't want Xiao Hanyin to take risks.
Since she knew that after he went to the imperial city, he would face all kinds of dangers at any time, how could she go over.
Although Liu Qingshao knew that as long as she wanted to go, Xiao Hanyin would definitely accompany her.
However, she would rather Xiao Hanyin be an ordinary person for the rest of her life......
After the two discussed the route, they packed up overnight, and the next morning they went to the shop to explain it, and then got into the carriage and left.
A few days ago, Liu Qingshao was preparing for this, so everyone in the shop knew that they were leaving.
Liu Qingshao had already arranged things properly, so everyone was not panicked at all.
After all, they had been away for more than two months, and the shop was well organized and not chaotic under the management of the big shopkeeper.
They are ordinary guys, as long as they do things seriously, they don't care about the rest at all......
When Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin left, he saw a familiar figure at the city gate.
The man rode past their wagon.
Xiao Hanyin quickly recognized that person was his brother, and when he was in the Xiao family, Xiao Hanchen was very good to him.
However, he was too busy and didn't have much time in the mansion at all, so he couldn't protect him all the time, but Xiao Hanyin never blamed him.
After such a long time, when he suddenly saw Xiao Hanchen, his heart swelled with a lot of previous memories, but his face was still calm, as if nothing had happened.
When he decided to fake his death, he knew that once he had done it, it would be irreparable.
However, Xiao Hanyin still did it without hesitation, in order to get rid of that cruel father who was powerful.
Xiao Hanchen didn't see Xiao Hanyin sitting in the carriage, he just wanted to go to Chef Liu's restaurant quickly to find clues about his younger brother.
As everyone knows, the person he wants to find the most was once beside him.
He sat in the carriage and listened to the sound of the horses' hooves in the distance, and there was a dark glint in his eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Liu Qingshao found that he was wandering, and a touch of curiosity crossed her heart.
"It's fine!" Xiao Hanyin didn't tell her that he saw Xiao Hanchen's affairs.
He had already decided to draw a line with the Xiao family, and once Xiao Hanchen knew his whereabouts, his secret would not be hidden.
Xiao Hanchen respects their father very much.
He is Xiao Yifeng's most beloved eldest son, and the relationship between father and son has always been deep, and what Xiao Yifeng did back then, he was probably kept in the dark.
Therefore, Xiao Hanyin would rather not see the brother who has loved him since he was a child, and he doesn't want Xiao Yifeng to know that he is still alive.
Xiao Yifeng's ambition is too great, he wants more than just the position of a general, but also wants to go further.
He sent himself to the crown prince and brought Xiao Hanchen to the battlefield, with the purpose of making the Xiao family the mainstay of the imperial court.
But he didn't really want to take refuge in the prince and do things for him.
Xiao Yifeng has always been cautious in doing things, and he was very worried that he would follow the wrong person, so he didn't express his position for a long time.
After all, the emperor is still at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and although the prince is generous, his temperament is a little indecisive and lacks a bit of ruthlessness.
