Strange return to the palace,

"Where can Qihua run alone?"

Qihua didn't come back last night, so I didn't sleep all night, and now I was very anxious Yu Mogui paced back and forth in the palace and said.

"It's okay, it should still be in the palace, where are you hiding?" Childe hugged me and comforted me softly.

I pushed him away, turned my head and glared at him, "It's because of you that you're like this, if you sent someone to follow you last night, why is this today?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong, can't I do it, so many people have gone to find it, I will definitely be able to find out its flowers!" Childe took my shoulders in front of me again and said to me in a kind voice.

"Look at you, nothing big happened before, I won't say anything about you, and now it's like this, it's all because you're too partial, you go out together and others don't say it, no one really knows that Qihua is your son and the prince of Ye Kingdom!" I raised my eyes and frowned at him, secretly angry.

presently

"Master, my subordinates have searched everywhere, but I haven't seen any trace of the prince!" The dark guard hurriedly stepped into the Mogui Palace, and said so.

"Impossible! The prince must still be in the palace, go and look for it! Childe listened to the words and ordered again.

Yu Darkguard received the order again and just as he walked out of the door, Bai Yan stopped the Darkguard, "Your Majesty, don't look for it anymore." ”

"What does that mean?" Childe stepped forward and pulled Bai Yan and asked nervously.

"Bai Yan, have you found Qihua? Where is he? I rushed to Bai Yan in one arrow step, and asked repeatedly in a hurry.

Bai Yan only shook his head, and said helplessly, "I just found a dog hole under the palace wall, and children can drill out of it, and I saw that the grass under the hole was flattened, obviously someone drilled there not long ago." ”

"It's Qihua! Definitely! But how can there be a dog hole under the palace walls?" I said in the affirmative, and then in doubt.

"Yes, this Jinling Palace was just renovated a few years ago, how can there be a dog hole, this is too strange!" Childe also said strangely on the side.

"This ...... Perhaps...... A premeditated exodus...... We all underestimated Hua'er......" Bai Yan looked at me and Gongzi and thought in thought.

"Then Qihua must have left the palace." I hurriedly said again.

"In this way, I will first ask someone to plug the dog hole, otherwise, it may become a big trouble," before the son finished speaking, the secret guard asked for the door, "This matter, leave it to your subordinates!" ”

Childe nodded to himself, and after the secret guard was ordered to retreat, Childe looked at Bai Yan again and said, "Bai Yan, I have something to entrust ......."

The corners of Bai Yan's eyes and eyebrows were all clear, and he only waved his hand and said, "I understand, I promise to bring you back Qihua unscathed!" ”

Childe patted Bai Yan's shoulder and instructed, "This matter ...... Do it in secret. ”

"I understand." Bai Yan's eyes were slightly sleepy.

Jinling morning market,

"Sell chickens, buy and kill ......"

"The crucian carp in the Huai River, ten cents a catty, ten cents a catty, sold cheaply! Sold cheaply! ”

"The big white radish in the field, the soup is fresh and sweet, is there anyone who wants to buy it......"

"Pork, freshly cut pork leg meat, look at Lai! Look at Lai! ”

"Baked cake shop, delicious baked cakes!"

"Hot tofu brain, dried shrimp, side dishes, tea eggs, ......"

……

It's noisy and noisy, and it's full of fireworks.

Qihua was alone in this Jinling City all night, and fell asleep in a corner in a daze after nearly three o'clock.

Just now there were a lot of mixed selling sounds in my ears, I just rubbed my eyes and woke up, and now I smelled the smell of steamed buns with open drawers and white gas in the morning market, and my stomach was angry for a while.

"Hey! Are you hungry?" I don't know who asked out loud in Qihua's ear, and he was stunned by Qihua.

Therefore, Qihua only quickly turned his head and saw the man, no, to be precise, the child

Dressed in tattered cotton cedar, wearing a pair of thousand-feuille shoes with holes, wearing a colorful broken hat on his head, his face was black and dusty, he seemed to be about the same age as himself, but he felt slightly thinner than himself, and he was holding a broken porcelain bowl in his hand, and there were several copper plates in it, and he was dirty and smelly, and he was smiling brightly at himself, like a beggar in a book.

Qihua couldn't help but ask with some disgust, "You...... Who are you? ”

"I'm a stinky begger, you...... Can't see it?" The kid got up and spun around in front of Qihua, and said.

Qihua saw that he should be slightly shorter than himself, so he said, "How old are you?"

The boy gave a thumbs up, pointed at himself and said cheerfully, "I'm over four years old, and I'm not a child anymore!" You can come out and roam the rivers and lakes, and tell you that I ran out secretly behind my father's back! ”

Qihua looked at the person's appearance, only covered his face and kept laughing, "Brother told you, you are only four years old, you are still a child, brother, I am one year older than you, and my brother will protect you in the future!" This is called an adult, do you understand?"

"Okay, brother!" The child shook his legs as he stood in front of Qihua and agreed.

"However, I'm so hungry now~" Qihua's stomach screamed angrily, and he couldn't help but say.

"Okay, I just asked for a few copper plates here, you can buy a bun and we'll eat it together?" As he spoke, the boy took out all the copper plates in the porcelain bowl and gave them to Qi Huadao.

In this way, Qihua took the copper plate given by the child, got up and went to the vendor to buy two steamed buns, and then ate and chatted happily one by one

"It's delicious!" The child was also hungry, so he couldn't help but take a bite and said.

"Incense!" Qihua sniffed it first like a baby, and then said loudly.

The child's mouth was stuffed with buns for a while, and he suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, and asked vaguely, "By the way, my name is Wuji, what's your name?" ”

Qihua turned his head, looked at the child, and said sincerely, "Qihua." ”

"Brother Hua, why don't you join the beggar gang too, in the future, it will be convenient for us to explore the rivers and lakes together!" The kid had a flash of inspiration and said so.

Qihua thought about it, this was also his first friend in the palace, and the two got along so well, so he agreed, "I am also carrying my father behind my back...... Dear, sneaked out, you said so, okay! ”
