"Say hello to Miss Four." The person who came with a lamp in the dark was none other than Qitai.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "My father is in the car? Take me there. ”

Qitai said with a smile: "Back to Miss, when the villain was just ordered to come out, the Hou Ye had not yet come out of the palace, and the Hou Ye asked the villain to take the young lady to the outer city gate to take the young lady to the house that the emperor gave the Hou Ye to temporarily settle for a while. Hou Ye also prepared some dry food for you, which was mixed flour cakes in the army, and said that when you came back, I asked you to bring them to the old lady. ”

Qin Yining hesitated a little, but still nodded.

"Alright, let's get off quickly."

First, Qitai has been following his father for more than 20 years and is trustworthy.

Second, she is accompanied by Jiyun and rock candy, and secretly has Mu Jinghu to follow, and she is not afraid of any moths.

Qin Yining got into the carriage with Jiyun and Bingtang.

Naturally, Qitai sat outside the carriage with the coachman.

The dead wind lights flickered in the night, and the carriage drove from the bumpy path to the flat, wide road, all the way out of the city.

Now that the city is in chaos, the curfew is completely non-existent, and there is no one to patrol the city, and only the inner city gate is guarded. However, when Qin Huaiyuan's sign was displayed, these people were all respectfully released.

The roads in the outer city are much more difficult to walk than in the inner city.

Because there were many displaced people who had fled in the outer city, the hungry people were bitten by mosquitoes, and they shrank numbly in the makeshift sheds, watching the carriage pass in front of them with blank eyes.

Qin Yining looked at the scene outside the window, his heart was uncomfortable, and he even began to pray that the emperor would surrender faster, and the faster the action, the sooner the suffering of the people would end.

After a few more moments, the carriage finally came to a courtyard.

Qin Yining helped Jiyun and Bingtang's men get out of the carriage and entered a black-lacquered gate.

This is a small courtyard as soon as you enter, and the east and west wings of the courtyard are dark, only the lights are on in the main house, and when you hear footsteps, you can see a thin woman coming out.

Qitai said with a smile: "This is Sister-in-law Zhang, who is responsible for cooking for the Hou Ye and Grandpa Guo and other people who defend the city these days." ”

Qin Yining nodded with a smile and greeted Sister-in-law Zhang.

Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly made a big salute, and after getting up, she said to Qitai solemnly: "The noodles you ordered to prepare are already ready." ”

"Then let's bring it first, and give Miss Fourth some to eat first. Hou Ye came back and cooked it for Hou Ye. "In these days, it's good to be able to eat gruel, and it's really a luxury to be able to eat a bowl of noodles.

Qin Yining smiled, thinking that his father asked him to come out to speak, and he wanted to let himself eat a full meal with him.

The group entered the main house, and Sister-in-law Zhang retreated.

Qin Yining looked at this neat and monotonous small room, then sat down on the stool next to the square table, and said with a smile: "My father has been living here these days? How is it not in the barracks? ”

Qitai said with a smile: "Sometimes it is in the barracks, but since the last time An Guogong was lured out by Da Zhou with a trick to lure the enemy, he lost 20,000 people in one go, and even An Guogong himself almost died, An Guogong and his old man began to avoid fighting, originally there was also a military camp stationed outside our city gate, so as not to attack the city directly as soon as the Great Zhou people came up, but An Guogong did not allow it, so he pulled out the camp, anyway, the city gate was closed, and there was no need to let Hou Ye live in the camp tent." ”

"I see, but it hurts my father. "In the summer, there are so many mosquitoes and it's very hot, so it's not comfortable to live in a tent, but it's better to have a house.

At this time, Zhang's sister-in-law came in with a large square plate, on which were three bowls of steaming green onion egg noodle soup. On a slightly cold autumn night after rain, the three bowls of noodles still floating with egg flowers and green onion flowers exuded bursts of white gas and attractive aroma, which made Qin Yining can't help but have a stomachache.

In recent days, I have often been hungry, and I always eat all kinds of wild vegetables, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not hurt my stomach, but now when I see this bowl of noodles, although I am very appetizing, my stomach is against her first.

Qitai smiled and put the noodles in front of Qin Yining, and said respectfully: "Miss, please use it first, this is specially ordered by Hou Ye, it is not easy to get these ingredients, Hou Ye said that you should make up for your body." ”

Immediately, Qitai smiled at Bingtang and Jiyun: "Master Hou said that the two of you have meritorious service to the fourth lady, and you can also eat a bowl of noodles alone." ”

Bingtang and Jiyun smiled and thanked them, took the noodles and put them on the table beside them, naturally they couldn't eat at the same table with Qin Yining.

Qin Yining picked up the bamboo chopsticks, and just picked up a chopstick noodle, when he was suddenly pinched by the rock candy.

Qin Yining looked at the rock candy suspiciously.

Bingtang looked at the noodles, shook his head, looked at Qitai who was standing with his hands hanging on the side with clear eyes, and said with a mocking smile: "This bowl of noodles is really specially prepared by Master Hou for our young lady?" ”

Qitai was stunned for a moment, and his face was a little unnatural, "Yes, it's not Master Hou, and the villain can't get this noodles for Miss to eat." ”

"That is, the person who cooks noodles is not careful, and he will be confused

The medicine went into the noodle soup carelessly. Just one bite of this noodles is enough for our girl to be in a coma for three days! ”

Hearing this, Jiyun scolded angrily: "What are you going to do!" ”

Mu Jinghu, who was guarding the side, was about to rush in directly.

What a loser! In the year of famine, it is good to have a bite of bread to eat, it is easy to see steaming noodles, and there are still people who violently destroy the heavens and put them in a daze

Medicine! This is a waste of food! Waste food!

Qin Yining was still sitting upright on the bench, with one hand behind his back, and waved his hand in the direction of Mu Jinghu, suggesting that he should not move.

Mu Jinghu only gritted his teeth and endured it and didn't come out.

Qin Yining asked with a solemn face: "Qitai, is it really my father who asked you to pick me up today, or did you make your own decisions?" ”

Qitai pursed his lips, and suddenly a mocking smile appeared on his face: "Fourth Miss, this matter is that I, Qitai, can't live with the Hou Ye, and I can't help you, but for the sake of the stability of this country, it doesn't hurt if you sacrifice it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qitai was kicked in the stomach by the angry Jiyun Fei, and the painful Qitai screamed "oops", took a few steps back and fell to the ground, holding his stomach and panting heavily.

Jiyun pulled Qin Yining with one hand and rock candy with the other: "Let's go!" ”

Qin Yining also knew that there was no further ado, so he immediately followed Jiyun out without hesitation.

As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I heard the gate in front of me be kicked open with a "bang", and a group of masked people broke in.

Qin Yining paused, and said with a solemn face: "Who are you!" ”

At this time, Mu Jinghu was already hiding in the shadows between the wing room and the ear room behind Qin Yining.

Qin Yining didn't know where Mu Jinghu was, so he still put his hand behind his back, waved, and motioned to Mu Jinghu not to come out.

The first one sneered: "So much nonsense, brothers, take down this girl!" With that, four or five men rushed over.
