Shaking all the way, Zhongli Bojun came to the palace, walked into the Imperial Palace, and saw Concubine Yuan and Concubine Xian standing by the couch.

"I've seen Concubine Yuan, Concubine Xian."

Ye Qianqian nodded at him.

"His Royal Highness Xianwang has come down?" Concubine Yuan walked up to him enthusiastically: "I heard that the second lady of the Weifu has escaped, and now the whole city is searching for her?" Presumably, His Royal Highness Xianwang is quite sad about this matter, so let's do it, I have two paintings there, and I brought one today. ”

After Concubine Yuan said this, she clapped her hands. After a while, a little maid came over with two long boxes: "This is painted by the painter in the palace, when it snowed at the beginning of winter last year, Miss Wei Er stood between the red plums." If His Royal Highness the King needs it, take it. ”

Zhongli Bojun lowered his eyes, and his eyes were cloudy. At this time, the concubine came to offer her courtesy, just to see that he had a great tendency to ascend to the throne, and came to stammer, in order to ensure the glory and wealth in the future.

Zhongli Bojun took the two black boxes and gently opened the lids. He took the scroll out of it, and gently unfolded it. A red jacket cape with white fox fur on the edges. Standing under the snowflakes, he raised his head slightly, competing with the red plum beside him.

It was the most beautiful snowflake he had ever seen.

"This king has thanked Concubine Yuan here."

Zhongli Bo Junfu opened another picture scroll, and the person in the painting and Zhang Wan'er looked at each other, smiling skillfully. Concubine Yuan nodded with satisfaction, said a few polite words, and left with the maids.

Zhongli Bojun put away the picture scroll, walked to the couch, and raised his eyes to look at Gonggong Zhao: "Father, is there any better today?" ”

"It's still the same, dazed, delirious." Zhao Gonggong sighed.

"Hasn't the imperial doctor in the palace diagnosed the cause yet?"

"His Royal Highness King Huixian's words, the preliminary diagnosis is...... The emperor was poisoned, and as for what kind of poison it was, it remains to be further diagnosed. ”

"Poisoned?" When Zhongli Bojun heard this, he was annoyed: "Why didn't you see that group of wastes diagnosed with poisoning of my father before?" Someone will test the poison in the emperor's daily meal, why are those people nothing at all, and the father has become like this? ”

"Your Royal Highness, please calm your anger, this is the problem, and the Imperial Physicians are preparing to discuss this aspect. By the way, in the past, the affairs of the Taiyi Department were all in charge of the Taiyi Ling, and the Taiyi Cheng had made such an idea before, but they were all denied by the Taiyi Ling. ”

"Really?" It seems that there are really people in the palace who want to kill their father, Zhongli Bojun suddenly turned her eyes and stared at Ye Qianqian, she lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly.

……

After a long day's work, and as dusk approached, when it was time for dinner, Zhongli Bojun came to the outskirts of the city, and looked at the groups of ragged men sitting beside the soup kitchens that had been erected everywhere, and they devoured the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, and then began to fight again. Zhongli Bojun looked at these people, his brows furrowed, the displaced people, they were quite strong to drive. In this way, the method mentioned by the left minister is not impossible.

Zhongli Bojun turned to leave, and when the people saw that he had disappeared, they also turned and left the soup kitchen. Putting down the broken bowl in his hand, he sneered disdainfully.

They packed their bags and arrived at a cave in Peony Mountain, which was covered by dense vegetation. In the cave, the candles were bright, and they half-knelt in front of Qiao Jiang: "Master Qiqi, King Xian has set up a soup kitchen to help the disciples who have come from various vassal countries in the north, what should we do with the women and children they have abducted?" ”

"Hahaha......" Qiao Jiang raised his head and laughed wildly: "King Xian thinks that he has the chance to win, and he doesn't have to obediently raise disciples for the master of this sect." Those women and children are left first, they can hide your identity, but don't do anything out of the ordinary to others. ”

"My subordinates know."

"By the way, where is General Wei's prisoner car?"

"The disciples have come to report that they are about to arrive in Sheung Shui City."

"Really?" The smile in Qiao Jiang's eyes swept wildly: "General Wei, General Wei, who said that our Qiao family would be planted in your hands?" ”

If it weren't for Wei Shangqing's daughter, Qiao Ran would not have died, and his mother would not have died. That damn father was killed by order of Princess Yu, and he deserved it. How can there be any true love in this world? Unforgettable feelings, he will not believe it when he dies. If there is really true love in this world, why did my mother follow my father all the way to Yue'an, but in the end, he was disemboweled, bleeding too much and died?

For him, feelings are the dirtiest thing.

"Enlightening the Sect Master, the disciples of the northern vassal countries have arrived in Licheng one after another, and the disciples of the Feirong region will also arrive in the near future."

"Well, you must not let your guard down, except for the disciples who are on the outskirts of the city, the rest of the people must be hidden, and if anything goes wrong, it is not something you can bear."

"Yes, if there is nothing to do, the subordinates will retire first."

"Go ahead!"

"King Xian, King Xian, thank you for helping the master of this sect raise disciples." Qiao Jiang grinned and smiled arbitrarily.

……

Sima Wanqin has been locked up in the mansion, and it is not peaceful to come to the nearest city. The whole of the Wei Mansion has been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and Wei Ziyu has absconded. Sima Wanqin lowered his eyes and looked at the notice in his hand, although he didn't know who the ugly woman painted on the notice was, but the person they wanted to hunt down was General Wei's second daughter, that is, Wei Ziyu.

The imperial examination is about to begin, and Jun Yanyu is now stuck in the pile of books, ignoring what is happening outside the window. I can't count on him, so I can only go out to find out the news myself.

Sima Wanqin waited until night and people fell asleep before daring to go out quietly. After meeting with the Dark Guard, the Dark Guard talks about the refugees outside the city.

"Sima Gongzi, the refugees outside the city look a little abnormal."

"Didn't those refugees all flee here from Wangchuan City?"

"Even so, the majority of refugees are young and middle-aged, and women and children are very few."

"Okay, continue to investigate, and report anything abnormal immediately. By the way, did Qiao Jiang find it? ”

"Not yet, now that the notice for the arrest of Miss Wei Er has been posted all over the city, people may have forgotten about Qiao Jiang, and if they want to arrest Qiao Jiang, they can only rely on the power of the government."

"Okay! Can you send someone to Gurong City? ”

"If you go back to Sima Gongzi, the people and horses sent out have not come back to report the news, Sima Gongzi doesn't need to worry, Gurong City is far away from the city, and it takes time."

"You go back first! Pay attention to hiding your identity. ”

"Yes."

Sima Wanqin waited at the gate of the city when the gate opened, and he went out of the city to see the group of refugees. As for what's wrong with them, give it a try, and maybe you'll know.

At the ugly moment, the gates of the city were opened, and there was a creak. As soon as the soldiers guarding the city saw that it was him, they hurriedly quickened the movements in their hands: "Where is Sima Gongzi going, it's not dawning now, why don't you wait until dawn to go out?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if you tell me about seeing my son today, don't blame my son for being polite."

"But...... But Lord Shi of the city patrol took a rest on the city tower. ”

"Shut up."

"Yes."

Sima Wanqin took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, gave it to him, turned to look at the other person, and gave him a silver ingot: "The appearance of the two of you, this son can see it clearly. ”

"Childe, get out of here! If you talk nonsense, the patrolling soldiers are coming. ”

"......" Sima Wanqin heard this, and strode towards the outskirts of the city.

He came to the vicinity of the soup kitchen, which was empty. He searched around for a while, and finally saw a few scattered people, and Sima Wanqin looked at them, and there were still women and children, they were all dressed in tatters, and they were dirty, and they were sleeping in the haystack.

Sima Wanqin touched his neck uncomfortably, aren't they afraid of snakes, rats, insects and ants? But when you think about it, where did those young adults go? Sure enough, since they are the people of the imperial dynasty, Wangchuan is lost, they can join the army, they can also go to work as coolies, and they can support themselves, why did they all run away from the city and ask the Son of Heaven for protection?

Sima Wanqin pressed the doubts in his heart and looked around, but he still couldn't find the traces of those young adults. Are all those refugees fake? But if they are false, who will they be?

In the dark night, there was an occasional wind blow, and Sima Wanqin tightened the brocade clothes on his body. Before turning their heads, if it was an enemy, they would have already done it, or they were afraid of him or something, so they refused to come out.

After a while, everything was calm, Sima Wanqin turned around, snorted coldly in the direction of Fang Caicao's movement, and then raised his feet and left.

"Why don't we just kill him?"

"As far as I know, he is Sima Shangshu's youngest son, not to mention that his brother is patrolling the city not far away, and if he does it now, it is tantamount to exposing himself, if it is a major matter that destroys the door master, how will you bear it?"

"What is Sima Shangshu's youngest son doing when he goes out so early?"

"Presumably he's not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it seems that he has already seen who we are. Tell the disciples to rest near the soup kitchen from now on, and hold on, and it won't be long before we can show our strength. ”

"Yes."

Sima Wanqin walked into the city, and he still had palpitations. Drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his palms were soaked. He is weak, and if those people make a move, he may not have the life to see the sun tomorrow. When he returned to Sima's mansion, he rested for an hour or two, and when it was dawn, he ran to his father's study.

The emperor is in poor health, and his father doesn't have to go to court recently, so he can see his father in the study early in the morning.

"Father, those refugees on the outskirts of the city are fake." Sima Yuqin did not hide it, and directly told the news of his investigation.

"Youqin, you rest in the courtyard, and you wake up at three o'clock in the morning. Running to my father's study, as soon as I opened my mouth, I said that a refugee is fake, are you a real refugee? Sima Shangshu glared at him: "You are used to living a privileged life, have you ever experienced human sophistication?" Do you see that everyone is like a bad man, who has mistreated you for the Father's sake? ”

"Father, Yuqin is not lying." Seeing that he didn't believe it, Sima Wanqin was a little anxious. If this matter can attract the attention of my father, no matter who those people are, they will not be able to stir up much turmoil.
