Chapter 90: The Return of the Morning Sun
[Chapter 3, Volume 3]
Section 90 Chapter 90 The return of the morning glow
Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such a big thing has never happened in Jiangling Mansion. Some people actually dared to gather crowds in front of the Jiangling Mansion to make a scene, rob people's daughters, and beat officials. This is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to the self-proclaimed peaceful and wealthy Gangneung Mansion. The Assassin of Gangneung Mansion was furious, so he asked the Zhichong Mansion to send troops to cooperate with the officials of the government to conduct a thorough investigation of Gangneung Mansion. We must capture all those who have no king's law.
So, from that day on, on the streets of Gangneung Mansion, there were government soldiers and officials patrolling the streets. No matter who they are, as long as they are people who oppress the people, they will all be arrested and taken to the government or the Zhichong government. It was also from that day that the people of Gangneung Province finally reached the days of living and working in peace and contentment in the next few years.
Of course, this is an afterthought, so I won't talk about it here, and I'll go back to the events of the day. It is said that after Huo Qingsong's careful arrangement, all the people who showed their heads in the small square were caught. Moreover, none of them could 'bite their tongues and kill themselves', they were jaw-dropped. And Lu Xiang'er, who was 'robbed' by someone, was quickly put back by Captain Guoyi of Zhichong Mansion because she was 'frightened'.
As for the little lady with the mask, after finding that Lu Xiang'er was safe, she rushed out of the encirclement of the soldiers and left quickly. Fang Zhe originally wanted to take the soldiers and go to arrest the man and come back. No matter who this person helped, she might have something to do with those people, but Huo Qingsong stopped Fang Zhe from letting the little lady leave.
Facing Fang Zhe's doubts, Huo Qingsong just said lightly: "I know who that person is, and I also know where to find her." ”
After Huo Qingqing's departure of the four princes returned to calm in the small square, they also turned the carriage and returned to the post house. Returning to his room with the guard Chen Lin, the fourth prince suddenly asked, "Chen Lin, what do you think of that little lady's martial arts?" ”
"Your Highness wants to take her for yourself?" Chen Lin thought back to the little lady with the mask, and a look of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
When the fourth prince saw Chen Lin's eyes, he understood something and nodded, "I mean this." However, she is a little lady, and she is really in trouble. ”
"Your Highness, please forgive your subordinates for being rude." Chen Lin first gave a salute to the four princes, and then said softly: "With this little lady's martial arts, I'm afraid she won't be subdued by anyone." ”
"Oh? Let's talk about it. The corners of the fourth prince's mouth were raised, and he couldn't help but recall the cold figure he saw inadvertently when he was about to leave the capital division. Although he didn't see her face clearly, from that side, the fourth prince could guess with his own experience that this was a stunning beauty.
Chen Lin thought back to the little lady's moves and styles, and said softly: "Your Highness should know that most of the rangers think highly of themselves and are unruly. It is not easy to subdue them. Moreover, this also refers to ordinary rangers. Looking at that little lady's martial arts, her master must be a hidden master. It is impossible for such a person to ......"
Looking up at the four princes, Chen Lin didn't continue. His meaning is already obvious, and I believe that the four princes should be able to understand it. But the fourth prince ignored it, but said softly to himself: "Then you should see it." Listening to Qingqing's tone, she should recognize her. Looks like it's time for me to visit my cousin again. ”
Chen Lin didn't think that the thinking of the four princes would have such a big jump, so he honestly stood aside and didn't make a sound. However, in Chen Lin's heart, he was repeatedly thinking about the little lady with the mask, calculating how many chances he would have if he faced her.
Just when the four princes got up to go to Zhechong Mansion, Lu Xianger also came out of Zhechong Mansion. Uncle Zheng didn't know exactly what happened, but he just thought that the 'thieves' had recognized the wrong person. While anxiously driving the carriage, Uncle Zheng thought about asking Aunt Zheng to go to Taiyuan to worship and ask for a few peace charms by the way.
Although Lu Xiang'er in the carriage had calmed down a lot, she was still a little trembling. Although when she ran out of Qianzhou when she was a child, she also experienced being hunted down. But at that time, Lu Xianger was still new to the Great Zhou Dynasty, her brain was very confused and she was always sleepy, and she had no psychological adaptation. But today, Lu Xiang'er really felt the feeling of being almost taken away.
Lu Xiang'er couldn't imagine what would happen to her after she was taken captive, and what would happen in the end. And it is precisely this unpredictable consequence that makes Lu Xianger very afraid. So much so that she lost all her strength when she came out of Zhichong Mansion, and was half-carried by Lu Hong into the carriage.
Looking at Lu Xiang'er's pale face, Lu Hong felt that his nose was sour, and his heart was full of self-blame. If it weren't for the person who suddenly appeared, if it wasn't for the government soldiers who suddenly appeared, with Lu Hong's ability, he wouldn't have been able to save Lu Xiang'er at all.
While hating his incompetence, Lu Hong comforted Lu Xiang'er softly: "Xiang'er, everything is over, it's okay, don't be afraid, my brother is here ......"
Huo Qingqing, who was sitting on the other side of Lu Xiang'er, didn't know how to comfort her. Without experiencing it personally, he couldn't understand Lu Xiang'er's mood at this time, Huo Qingqing knew that he could do it at this time. is to hold her hand tightly and use his body temperature to warm Lu Xiang'er's cold hands.
It wasn't until the carriage stopped and Uncle Zheng said that he was home, and Lu Xiang'er's heart fell back into place. However, Lu Xiang'er's body was still weak, and Huo Qingqing and Lu Hong had to support her before getting out of the carriage. Seeing Lu Xiang'er's appearance, Uncle Zheng hurriedly ran to the front to open the door.
But when Lu Xiang'er was helped into the courtyard, she saw a person standing in the courtyard. Seeing this person's appearance clearly, Lu Xiang'er immediately broke free from Lu Hong and Huo Qingqing and ran over, and said happily: "I knew you were back, Sister Chaoxia-"
"Chaoxia, she is Chaoxia." Huo Qingqing saw Chaoxia for the first time, but she never thought that Chaoxia would be such a fairy-like little lady. If it weren't for Lu Xiang'er calling out her name, Huo Qingqing really couldn't imagine the person in front of her at all, and it would be Lu Xiang'er who often mentions the ranger with strong martial arts.
Lu Hong was obviously very surprised that Chaoxia suddenly appeared here. But when he heard what Lu Xiang'er said, Lu Hong immediately remembered that in the square, the person with the mask was so familiar, it should be Chaoxia. But why did Chaoxia wear a mask, Lu Hong was very puzzled.
Of course, this is not the time to solve these doubts. Lu Hong, like Lu Xiang'er, is very concerned about Lu Erniang's condition. Moreover, Lu Xiang'er was no longer as scared as before at this time, and only cared about asking Chaoxia about Lu Erniang, and Lu Hong didn't want to mention what had just happened now.
"Sister Chaoxia, so Mr. Song's injury is about to heal." As soon as Lu Xiang'er finished speaking, she saw Huo Qingqing's surprised eyes, and quickly realized that she had finally leaked her mouth.
Huo Qingqing looked at Chaoxia and then at Lu Xiang'er, and asked in disbelief: "Xiang'er, what you said about 'Mr. Song', but my uncle Song Yuan?" ”
"Xiang'er, I've already said it, don't hide it from Qingqing anymore. Anyway, Mr. Song is fine. Seeing Lu Xiang'er's embarrassed face, Lu Hong took the initiative to mention the matter.
After chatting with Chaoxia for more than an hour, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong finally knew that Lu Erniang was now living safely in the Guogong Mansion, and Song Yuan's injuries were almost all healed. It was also at this time that Huo Qingqing learned that Song Yuan was seriously injured. From Lu Hong's mouth, Huo Qingqing also understood that Huo Qingsong took her away from Jingshi because he didn't want her to worry about Song Yuan.
Thinking of the fact that everyone was hiding it from her, Huo Qingqing felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. But she couldn't blame Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong, after all, before this, Huo Qingsong had already instructed the two brothers and sisters of the Lu family. Moreover, during this time in the Lu family, Lu Xiang'er can be said to treat Huo Qingqing like a sister.
When Chaoxia saw Huo Qingqing's appearance, she took out a clay fat doll from her baggage and said to her, "I call you Qingqing like Xiang'er." Qingqing, this is what Mr. Song gave me before I came back, and he knew that General Huo would definitely come to visit Xiang'er when he brought you to Jiangling Mansion, so he asked me to transfer this to you. Mr. Song also asked me to tell you that when you return to Jingshi, he will take you to buy the rest back. ”
"My uncle promised me a long time ago that he would go with me to buy it." When Huo Qingqing saw the clay doll, some wanted to laugh and some wanted to cry. Although this matter must have been Song Yuan's idea, Huo Qingqing still blamed herself for not paying attention to the affairs of the Guogong Mansion, so that she had no chance to stay by Song Yuan's side. At this moment, what Huo Qingqing wanted to do most was to go back to Beijing to see his uncle Song Yuan.
Lu Xiang'er saw the intention on Huo Qingqing's face, and hurriedly said: "Qingqing, I understand your feelings about wanting to return to Beijing now. But General Huo said before leaving, you must wait for him to come back and return to Beijing with you. Moreover, if you leave suddenly, what if General Huo comes back and can't see you and demolishes our house......
"Xiang'er, I see. I used to be very self-willed, but my brother and uncle didn't tell me about it. From now on, I must change this character, so that my brother will not tell me if anything happens. After Lu Xiang'er's persuasion, Huo Qingqing finally gave up his plan to leave Jiangling Mansion immediately.
However, in Huo Qingqing's heart, he was still thinking about returning to Jingshi as soon as possible. She didn't know when Huo Qingsong would come back, but she knew that after the martial arts of the township test was over, the fourth prince would return to Beijing. As long as he follows the four princes back, Huo Qingsong will definitely rest assured.
Thinking of this, Huo Qingqing let go of this matter and talked to Chaoxia instead. Huo Qingqing has a lively temperament and is easy to win the favor of others. Moreover, she still took the initiative to show favor to Chaoxia, and after Lu Xiang'er's easing, Chaoxia, whose temperament had changed a lot, also showed a smile to Huo Qingqing very casually.
