Chapter 496: Calamity
Qian Qianqian sneered, with a hint of mockery on her face, her eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of cold light in her eyes.
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, I will persuade you, not only for your good, but also for myself, if you go to the frontier, something happens, General Xiao must let me be buried when he comes back, I don't want to die."
Shao Huaigu said unhurriedly, sitting slightly lazy, his eyes wandering on Qian Qianqian's face from time to time, and he looked a little aggrieved.
Qian Qianqian had nothing to say, just drank tea silently, her heart was still hanging, she didn't hear the news that Xiao Mohan was safe and sound, her heart couldn't fall anyway.
Shao Huaigu didn't stay long, he left straight after drinking tea, and after a while, Xue Yi walked in from outside, it seemed that he should have learned something from Shao Huaigu.
"Miss Qian, listen to Lord Shao, you have figured it out, don't go to the frontier, that's right, the slaves and maids have offended you today, don't blame us."
Xue Yi held a plate of pastries in her hand, and helped Qian Qianqian to sit in front of the bronze mirror.
"I understand, but you have to promise me that no matter what news comes back from the frontier, you can't hide it from me, whether it's good or bad, I must know."
Qian Qianqian looked at herself in the mirror, and also felt that it was really unpresentable, the green silk was scattered, the black blue under her eyes was very obvious, her face was pale, and her lips were chapped, fortunately Xiao Mohan was not there, otherwise she was so sloppy, and I don't know what Xiao Mohan would think.
"Yes, the slave obeys the order, and the letter from the frontier in the future will be brought to you by the slave and the maid as soon as possible, and will never let you be kept in the dark."
Xue Yi combed Qian Qianqian's hair, Qian Qianqian smeared some fat powder, and her face finally improved a lot, although she still looked a little haggard, but it was finally not so scary.
Qian Mu and the others didn't know about it at all, so they lived very happily every day, Qian Fen and Qian Xuan also got better day by day, Jiang Sheng sent a special ointment to remove the scars on Qian Fen and Qian Xuan's faces.
And Shao Huaigu had already received Qian Qianqian's letter, according to what Qian Qianqian said, he used the power of the government to transport grain for those grain merchants, and transported the grain from the capital to all parts of Xiao State, so as not to have too much food in some places and starve to death in some places.
With the intervention of the government, this matter is much easier, although there are many robbers outside, but as long as they have a little brain, they dare not come forward to go against the government, so the grain merchants also have a reliance, and many grain shops in the capital have reopened.
"Miss Qian, the idea you came up with is really effective, now the business in the capital is not so sluggish, it just now that there is a war, the treasury is empty, the government can transport grain, and you can also earn silver to enrich the treasury, it is simply killing two birds with one stone."
Xue Yi has been accompanying Qian Qianqian, not so much to accompany her, but to look at her, afraid that she won't be able to think about it again, and secretly run to the frontier.
"It's good that the matter is settled, isn't there any news from General Xiao's side?"
This matter was expected by Qian Qianqian, but she had always been worried about Xiao Mohan, the Ye family had planted eyeliner in the army, this march was fighting, once there was an internal ghost in the army, things would be troublesome.
"Not yet, but it will take ten days to get back from the border, so maybe the crisis on the border has been resolved, but the news hasn't come back yet."
Xue Yi comforted Qian Qianqian, in fact, she was also worried about Xiao Mohan in her heart, but she couldn't leave her post without permission, as a dead soldier, no matter what, she had to complete the task assigned by her master.
"I want to go to Wolong Temple, you and Yuanying can go with me."
Qian Qianqian looked out the window and played with the jade hairpin in her hand, which was given to her by Xiao Mohan before, saying that it was a relic of Xiao Mohan's mother, she rarely took it out, and she had been seeing things and thinking about people for the past few days.
"What are you doing there? Last time, the Brahmansky monk wanted to be unfavorable to you, and finally it was resolved, and the monk stopped biting you and didn't let go, why did you go again? ”
Xue Yi was very puzzled, even if Qian Qianqian wanted to pray for Xiao Mohan, there was a Buddhist hall in the general's mansion, and Qian Qianqian could go to worship nearby, and she didn't need to run so far.
"I have nothing to do in this mansion, and when I am free, I am prone to cranky thoughts, so it is better to go out for a walk, otherwise my idea of going to the frontier will sprout up again, don't you also have a headache?"
Qian Qianqian's face did not change color, and she inserted the hairpin straight to the top of her head, without any superfluous expression on her face.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Xue Yi thought about it carefully and felt that Qian Qianqian was right, instead of letting her be stuffy in the house, it was better to go out to breathe, maybe she would not think about anything after going out for a walk.
It didn't take long for Xue Yi to prepare the carriage, Qian Qianqian was dressed in plain clothes, combed a simple bun, and a few strands of broken hair fell down on her sideburns, looking beautiful and lovely.
The carriage also looks very plain from the outside, it doesn't look like it came out of the general's mansion at all, and it must be able to hide people's eyes and ears when walking on the long street.
Qian Qianqian went straight into the carriage, accompanied by Xueyi, and Yuan Ying followed outside, simply bringing a few entourages, and after a long journey, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
A few entourages waited at the bottom of the mountain, Qian Qianqian only took Xue Yi and Yuan Ying up the mountain, although the mountain road was a little difficult to walk, but Qian Qianqian still persevered.
This temple is still the same as before, the houses that were burned down before are now rebuilt, and they are much better repaired than before, it seems that Xiao Mohan gave them a lot of silver.
"Donor, you're here to find Master Fankong."
When the little monk at the door saw Qian Qianqian, he recognized her at a glance, so he seemed to know her intention.
"Hmm." Qian Qianqian didn't hide it, anyway, she came for Fankong, and sooner or later she would get there, so it was better to say it directly.
"Donor, please."
The little monk made a "please" gesture, and Xue Yi and Yuan Ying were just about to follow, but they were stopped by the two monks.
"Donor, Master Fankong has always loved purity, and he doesn't like irrelevant people to disturb, so these two donors should stay here, don't go over."
The little monk bowed slightly, and explained respectfully, Xue Yi's face was a little ugly, Qian Qianqian turned her head, glanced at Xue Yi and Yuan Ying, and motioned for them to stay.
Xue Yi and Yuan Ying had no choice, so they didn't follow, and watched Qian Qianqian disappear at the end of the corridor with the little monk.
Fankong looked at Muyu in the meditation room, there was a scripture book in front of him, and he saw that he should be chanting, Qian Qianqian pushed open the door and walked in, seeing that Fankong did not move, she did not make a sound.
The little monk who brought her left quickly, Qian Qianqian stood in place, not daring to move at all, the room was full of smoke, and the doors and windows were tight, so it was a little stuffy, and she was a little breathless.
But even so, she didn't go over to open the window, this is Fankong's meditation room, she just came to visit, so no matter what, she has to wait for Fankong to speak.
After more than an hour, Van Kong finally did not knock on the wooden fish, and the few incense sticks in front of the Buddha had been burned out, but the smell still did not disperse, and Van Kong was as happy as food.
"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, but the little woman has come to visit."
Qian Qianqian bowed slightly towards Fankong, a light smile appeared on her face, her every move was just right, well-behaved and supple, but it was abnormal.
"General Xiao has an accident, so you came to see the poor monk."
Fankong pierced her with a word, without showing any mercy, it seems that as Qian Qianqian expected, he already knew about it.
"Yes, now General Xiao has an accident, so I want to ask Master if General Xiao can save the day."
Qian Qianqian didn't hide it either, they were all smart people, and they still explained things well early.
"Don't you don't believe in the poor monks? Instead of asking the poor monks, it is better to go to the frontier to see it in person, so that everything is clear. ”
Fankong sat at the table, his expression was calm and calm, very cold, and he was almost rejected.
"I also want to go, but the people around me don't let me go, saying that it was ordered by General Xiao, so I have no choice but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and I have come to beg you, Master."
Qian Qianqian bowed slightly, her eyes drooped slightly, blocking the emotions in her eyes, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her brows were tightly locked.
"I'm in the capital, thousands of miles away from the frontier, so it's useless for you to come and beg me."
Fankong poured two cups of tea, and said it lightly, always with an unworldly attitude, turning himself into a bystander, only in this way can he see clearly.
"I know Master, you must have a way, at least you can know my secret, it means that you are not an ordinary person, General Xiao is the pillar of Xiao Guo, if something happens to him, the entire Xiao Country will be in chaos, Master doesn't want to watch those people outside scattered."
Qian Qianqian said very firmly, although Fankong's temper is a little weird, but he is not a bad person, so he still knows the power of this.
"I really can't bear to see those people being implicated, and I am also one of the people, if Xiao Guo is gone, I will also be in trouble, I am a monk, and I have long put life and death out of the way, but those people are different."
Van Kong nodded slightly, although he had been staying in the temple and rarely went down the mountain, he knew everything about the situation down the mountain.
"So, General Xiao can't die."
Qian Qianqian said categorically, staring at Fankong's face all the time, and her brows were twisted into a dead knot.
"General Xiao has such a catastrophe in his life, and he will come sooner or later, as for whether he can survive this difficulty, it depends on his own creation."
Fankong sighed, his face was a little helpless, it seemed that he was also powerless, after all, he was just a monk, not an immortal, and he couldn't turn things around.
"Then can this calamity be resolved by external force?"
Qian Qianqian then asked, her heart gradually became nervous, her hands clenched into fists, and her teeth bit her lower lip.
"This is his own calamity, and it is useless for others to do anything, so don't bother thinking in vain, it's better to worry about yourself."
Fankong took a sip of tea, as if hinting at something about Qian Qianqian, but it made Qian Qianqian interested.
"What do I have to worry about?"
