Chapter 86: Clearing the Mountain Bandits (7)
"I remember when I was lying on the beam of the house with Deputy Commander Zhao to hide from the Iron Eagle, I saw that the Iron Eagle seemed to have come back to see His Royal Highness King Xian temporarily, and I didn't plan to stay for long. And those mountain bandits also said that their mysterious master's old illness has relapsed, and Tie Ying is busy taking care of it, so he shouldn't be away for too long. β
Hearing this, Chengfeng seemed to have figured out something, and his face changed.
Xiao Yuexi continued: "The second time I went up the mountain, the mountain was still calm, and no one found out about Tie Ying's disappearance. Even if the others don't care, didn't the owner behind them even find out? It's not like he has set up such a big game, but there is only one Iron Eagle by his side to deploy, right? β
Fengshuangxue had already learned everything about the matter from Chengfeng, and when he found out what the problem was, he frowned and said, "What does Madam mean...... Is this the master's trap again? β
"Hmm......" Xiao Yuexi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't think in a complicated direction!" Maybe that unlucky guy is too sick to deal with us? β
The optimism of "......" cannot be agreed with by wind, frost and snow.
Xiao Yuexi said: "Anyway, the person in charge of their face is now locked up by us, and the epidemic in Binzhou is also under control, if we don't take this opportunity to suppress them, when will we wait?" In one go, they took their nest, and all the veins and ministers floated up. β
Hurry up and deal with the matter here, and she can go back to Beijing. I don't know when she started, she didn't even reject returning to the palace, and even had some expectations. It's just that this glimmer of anticipation is covered by a deep sense of uneasiness and worry, and she hasn't discovered it yet.
What the hell is going on in the palace......
"Wind Maiden." Xiao Yuexi said suddenly. "How many people did you bring with you this time?"
Fengshuang Xue said: "Subordinate...... Well, it's supposed to be a slave now. Before the slave maid came here, she had already handed over everything from the Jade Hall. Not many people knew about this mission, so I came by myself. β
ββ¦β¦ All right. Xiao Yuexi thought for a while and said, "Then you take the people who ride the wind first, I have something I want to ask you for help." β
"Don't dare." Windy and frosty snow trails. "Madame, just as she is told."
"You take people and go to their mysterious back mountain to explore the wind and make some trouble." Speaking of this, Xiao Yuexi paused, hesitated and asked, "Hmm...... Wouldn't it be too hard for you? I think it's easier for you to get out of your work. If ......"
Feng Shuangxue said without a word: "It's a trivial matter, leave it to the slave maid." β
After a few more words, I suddenly heard Su Su knocking on the door outside and said, "Madam, Lord Wei asks to see you." β
Xiao Yuexi seemed to have just remembered this person, and was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Please." β
Wei Chang came in in with a dusty manner, and saw that there were not only guards in the house, but also a rough and unbearable strange man, showing a trace of confusion on his face, but he didn't ask too much, and waved his hand and called: "Mrs. Xiao." β
"Lord Wei doesn't have to be polite, sit." Xiao Yuexi said. "I'm really sorry for worrying Lord Wei yesterday, thank you for sending someone to send a message to Chengfeng."
Wei Chang showed a trace of shame on his face, and was about to tell Xiao Yuexi about the result of the fruitless self-examination, but Chengfeng, who was about to retire, was suddenly stunned and asked in a lost voice: "What message?" β
Xiao Yuexi and Wei Chang looked at him in unison, with doubts on their faces.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuexi asked.
It was as if in a mess, an extremely critical thread suddenly appeared, and with a single pull, all the dead knots could be untied.
Chengfeng said in a daze: "My subordinates went up the mountain, not because Lord Wei sent a message, but because ...... Before you went out, I specially explained to the people who followed you, if you act without permission, you must find a way to notify your subordinates. β
"......" This is indeed an effective means of prevention, firstly, there are too many people who follow her openly and secretly, she can't even remember her name, and she recognizes her face, and secondly, she basically doesn't call the people of Zangfeng Pavilion these days, I don't know if she is used to it or what, she doesn't call, and she doesn't pay attention to it. Instinctively trusting them, after all, it was arranged by Mu Yunqing by her side. I just didn't expect that this trust turned into a heart medicine to ride the wind, and I quietly planted eyeliner next to her......
Xiao Yuexi didn't care about being angry at this time, she quickly analyzed the past and back, and finally asked, "Lord Wei, who is the person you sent out to deliver the message?" β
Although Wei Chang hadn't spoken yet, his expression when he first heard Chengfeng's question couldn't deceive peopleβhe had obviously sent someone out, which was why he was so surprised.
However, at this time, the disbelief on Wei Chang's face was a little unusual, what did he not believe? Don't believe in the words of the wind? Still is......
"Impossible......" Wei Chang muttered in a daze. There must be some misunderstanding in between. β
Xiao Yuexi's expression became solemn: "Lord Wei, if you have any doubts, let's think about it together, there is no reason to deny yourself as soon as you come up." β
Although Wei Chang was in a state of confusion, he was not stupid in the end, he knew that Xiao Yuexi was hiding a lot of expert guards around him, and he sent someone to pass on the message, as long as he checked it a little, someone would always know. Moreover, he had already seen the wisdom of this Mrs. Xiao, and with her mind, he would not have imagined who the person he trusted the most at that juncture...... He couldn't hide it, and he hid it, but he was suspicious.
But although he understood the reason, he still struggled a little to really let him say it, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Mrs. Xiao should be able to guess." In that case, of course, the minister would not let anyone who might be suspicious leave from under my nose. β
Xiao Yuexi's face was as usual, but she appreciated his honesty in her heart.
When Wei Chang hesitated and didn't want to say anything, Xiao Yuexi guessed who the person he sent out was, if it wasn't for him, Wei Chang would not have shown such an expression.
"When Yao Gongzi went back, how did he recover his life?" Xiao Yuexi directly said the answer that was about to come out.
Wei Chang's eyes flickered, and then he said, "...... He said the message had been delivered. β
His expression was very low, Xiao Yuexi even couldn't bear to let Chengfeng go to check Yao Shensong's whereabouts after leaving the fishing village yesterday, and paused before saying, "Lord Wei, I want to talk to Yao Gongzi for a few words, I don't know if you can make it convenient?" β
Wei Chang raised his eyes and glanced at her, as if he was a little surprised, when Yao Shensong was carrying such a big suspicion, he could still be so polite.
Xiao Yuexi didn't want to be so polite, maybe it was just a moment of brain fever, and she felt that Wei Chang's appearance shouldn't be pushed too hard.
Compare her heart to her heart, if one day, Mu Yunqing is suspected of doing something rebellious, and someone comes to her to ask her about the guilt, she will probably be in a bad mood, right? - Wait! Why am I doing this heart-to-heart comparison?!
Xiao Yuexi's heart was turbulent, and he deserted for a short time, and it was easy to press back the strangeness in his heart, and his eyes fell on Wei Chang's face again.
Wei Chang was silent for a while before he spoke, his voice was hoarse: "The minister shouldn't be so selfish, but can you ask Mrs. Xiao to make it convenient and let the minister ask him in person first?" β
Xiao Yuexi maintained a faint smile on her face, nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem." As Master Wei said, maybe everything is a misunderstanding? Yao Gongzi also took care of me, and if he wronged him for no reason, I won't feel good in my heart. β
Wei Chang got up and solemnly saluted, "The minister will retire first." β
"Master Wei walks slowly."
Xiao Yuexi watched Wei Chang rush out of the door in a hurry, turned her head to look at Chengfeng, and finally said what she didn't say in front of Wei Chang'er: "Go and ask the people below, see if anyone saw Yao Gongzi yesterday, it's best to know where he has gone." β
"Yes." Chengfeng thought about it for a while, and said with some concern: "Madam, my subordinates have heard some rumors about Lord Wei and that Yao Gongzi. Lord Wei has a deep affection for him, and if he shields Yao Gongzi, it will be difficult for us to do it...... Do you want your subordinates to make some arrangements? β
Before he finished speaking, he had already made a list of who to send to keep an eye on in his mind, but Xiao Yuexi just shook his head slowly and said, "No need, go and get busy with you." β
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
Fengshuang Xue said: "The slave and maid also retired first, the matter of the Nanshan bandits will be solved one day earlier, and you can go back one day earlier." β
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yuexi smiled at her.
Fengshuangxue said indifferently, "Don't dare", and called Shangchengfeng to go out to pick people together.
The room was empty all of a sudden, and there was only one Su Su left beside her, she had just listened to it on the side, and at this moment she was in a daze, and when she saw Xiao Yuexi's melancholy face, she asked, "Is Madam tired?" Do you want to sleep a little more? β
Xiao Yuexi shook her head, her body was recovering well, this was the time when she was full of energy, where did she get so much sleep. She paused and asked, "How is His Royal Highness King Xian?" β
Su Su knew that she was concerned about the situation over there, and while she was sleeping, she ran to Li Ran's side, and answered quickly at this time: "His Royal Highness King Xian's condition is stable for the time being, but there is no sign of waking up." Imperial Physician Li said that His Royal Highness King Xian may have to sleep for a few days. β
Xiao Yuexi nodded, and said: "I'm not worried about others, I'll let Chengfeng select a few people from the pavilion to take care of them carefully." β
Su Su smiled: "Lord Chengfeng has arranged it!" Madame don't have to worry. β
His Royal Highness King Xian has been accompanied by herbal soup all year round, and he may be sick and accustomed to it. Although it was dangerous, he finally saved his life. It's just that the epidemic in Binzhou has not been sent away, the environment is unsatisfactory, and it is really not a good place to recuperate, and I don't know if Li Ran has any way to lift his spirit, so that he can withstand the bumps of the carriage and horses and return to Beijing to recuperate.
Xiao Yuexi's heart was in a mess, and she suddenly got up and said, "I almost forgot!" I'm going to see the eagle. β
