Chapter 603: Chaos
Lu Heng's complexion changed from ruddy to pale.
Under Qin Huaiyuan's gaze, which seemed to be perceptive, Lu Heng's deep thoughts that he thought he was hiding were all exposed.
Both are intelligent people and have very keen senses. It's just that Lu Heng had never been in contact with Qin Huaiyuan before, and now he was reminded by a pun, he felt that all his hidden thoughts were like being exposed to the sun, and those gloomy thoughts that could not see the light were crackling with a burning sound, which made his face also heat up for a while.
Isn't he as good as a coward?
Does he think less about Qin Yining than he does about Xiao Xiao?
Or is it that Qin Huaiyuan still feels satisfied with the upheaval life that Xiao Xiao brought to Qin Yining?
The corners of Lu Heng's lips twitched, and he didn't know how to call Qin Huaiyuan for a while, and the words he wanted to refute were choked in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down.
Qin Huaiyuan sighed lightly, he could understand the thoughts of the little child, but he couldn't watch things go in a bad direction.
There are indeed a lot of troubles around Xiao Xiao. But Xiao Xiao also treated Qin Yining wholeheartedly. People can't be too greedy, he only has one daughter, so naturally he can only allow one family, Qin Yining's mind is also on Xiao Xiao's body, if he doesn't mention it a little, the young man in front of him doesn't know if he will drill the horns of the bull and do something they don't want to see.
It's just that Qin Huaiyuan also knows that emotional matters are unreasonable. If a few words can be persuaded, there will not be so many crazy men and women in this world.
Qin Huaiyuan bowed slightly at Lu Heng, told him that he could go and rest, then took the map and turned around to look for Ji Zeyu.
Lu Heng stood still, no one could understand the impetuousness and sourness in his heart.
Looking in the direction where Qin Yining was resting, his heavy footsteps moved two steps, and finally stopped.
Don't be impulsive. Qin Yining was pregnant with twins, what if he acted rashly and hurt his body? He liked her, and he wanted to monopolize her, and this idea became stronger and stronger after he got the title and the importance of the saint. But he would rather kill everyone than hurt her.
That's it, wait for now, don't rush, don't rush.
Lu Heng stood for a long time before he went to find Changsui and rested on the temporarily arranged bunk.
Ji Zeyu and Qin Huaiyuan had already arrived on the other side of the mountain where the imperial tomb was located.
Ji Zeyu's face was grim, holding the map and pursing his lips waiting for someone to explore the ground. Seeing Qin Huai coming away, Ji Zeyu restrained himself from waiting in the face of outsiders, and politely bowed his hand: "Uncle Qin." ”
Facing Ji Zeyu's title, Qin Huaiyuan bowed his head happily and said with a smile: "Ji Yuma has worked hard. The soldiers came to deliver dinner, and I didn't think it was much use for Ji Gong's horses. Now that the scene is chaotic, the only one who can control the scene is Ji Yuma, so you must take care. ”
Ji Zeyu smiled, his bright eyes were cold in the moonlight, but the smile lines at the corners of his lips and the fleeting dimples made his entire handsome face bright and gentle.
"Uncle Qin rest assured, he has been fighting in Xiabianguan for many years, and he can endure any hardship, and one meal will not get in the way. And now that the Holy Lord and Zhixi are trapped below, I can't eat anything. ”
Qin Huaiyuan shook his head when he heard this, and sighed: "This time, the important ministers, nobles, and families of the court have all planted their heads here, and the lightest one has also suffered a minor injury, and the saint is still in the underground palace. I hope that Utkin Khan will not take this opportunity to raise troops in a big way, otherwise we will be even more passive. ”
Ji Zeyu knew that Qin Huaiyuan was reminding him, and said with a smile: "What Uncle Qin said is very true. It's just that the Tiger Ben Army that is now in charge is all around Gyeonggi, and it is beyond the reach of the whip for a while. ”
Qin Huaiyuan is a person who understands, and when he hears the words, he knows that although Ji Zeyu has cronies in the Long Xiang army, he will not stretch his hand to the border pass unless necessary, so as not to leave a handle for others.
It seems that Ji Zeyu and Xiao Xiao are similar people. It's no wonder they can become close friends.
The two didn't talk about anything else, they only focused on how to open the dungeon and save people.
At this time, the capital has fallen into an unprecedented panic.
The Imperial Mausoleum of Zhengshan is not far from the capital, and it is only time to whip three incense sticks quickly. The explosion of the Imperial Mausoleum in Zhenshan caused a local earthquake, and although the tremors were not felt in the capital, the people living in the suburbs had already heard the loud bang.
When the people were at a loss, injured officials were sent home one after another from the direction of Zhenshan, and some of the officials' family members heard that something had happened in Zhengshan, crying and shouting, and drove out of the city to find people in Zhengshan.
Even if everyone ordered their subordinates not to talk much, but everyone couldn't control that everyone had the closest friend and best relative, this kind of "I only tell you, you don't tell others" thing still quickly spread all over the capital.
I don't know if someone did it on purpose, even the chatter in the restaurant teahouse has someone whispering about the collapse of the Imperial Mausoleum of Zhenshan.
After the curfew, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Shuntian Mansion arranged twice as many people to patrol the city as before. The people have heard a lot of rumors from various versions, and they can't help but get nervous when they see how nervous they are when they become soldiers.
Every house locks its doors and windows, and it doesn't care about the heat.
Those merchants can't wait to put on a few more boards, and even those fireworks alley fat powder streets, most of them are closed and don't do business.
First the city was searched, and then the imperial tomb collapsed, and it is said that the saint, the prince and some other dignitaries were buried alive. The people felt like the sky was going to fall.
This tense atmosphere soon spread to the palace.
Early the next morning, Ma and Yao Chenggu were having breakfast, and Yao rushed in in a panic.
"Mother! Daifuku seems to have an accident! ”
Ma put down the spoon, "Where did you hear the rumors?" ”
"It's not a rumor, now this thing has exploded, and everyone in the city probably knows that it is the Holy Lord who took people to the Imperial Tomb of Zhengshan, and I don't know what happened, the * hidden by the former Emperor Dog under the Zhenshan Mountain was ignited, the Imperial Tomb collapsed, and many people were buried alive in it."
Yao Chenggu put down the rice cake, couldn't swallow anything, and said worriedly: "So, yesterday's in-laws took the Qin family out, it is very likely that they knew about it?" ”
"Eighty percent of them are like that." Yao said angrily, "What do they mean?" Knowing that something might have happened to Daifuku, he still refused to tell us what kind of heart their family was safe! ”
Hearing this, Ma slapped the table and said angrily: "Tell you? Tell you if you can save people, dig mountains, or quell the rumors in the city? ”
Yao has been beaten by Ma too many times, and now he has a shadow in his heart, and when he saw Ma lose his temper, he was already a little cowardly.
However, the rumors were too terrible, and the Yao family couldn't care about it so much, so he sat down next to the Ma family sideways, and said in a low voice: "If nothing happened, why didn't Dafu and Dafu's daughter-in-law come home yesterday?" Dafu's daughter-in-law has a big belly, and she can't go out on weekdays to be hugged by someone, he is so squeamish, how can he suddenly go out by car? I think they must have gone to Zongshan, and it is very likely that something happened to Daifuku. ”
Ma couldn't get used to hearing Yao's words like this, so he glanced at her fiercely and said: "You are also a mother-in-law, pay attention to what you say, and people will think you are vulgar when you see it." No matter how rumors are about this outside, we can't mess up in our house. These days, I have told people to close up the mansions, and if you don't go out, you must also restrain people from going out. ”
"So, you already knew?" Yao Chenggu asked with a frown.
Ma Shi nodded and said, "Yesterday, the girl said to me when she went out. But at that time, she just guessed that she was in a hurry to save people. ”
Ma told Qin Yining what he had told her, and then said: "The father-in-law said at the beginning that he would take people to Zongshan, but the father-in-law is now white, and the soldiers who surround Zhenshan may not be allowed to go, Yi Yatou is the princess, and she is the super first-class edict sealed by the saint himself, in order to be able to pass the news inside, Sister Yi has to go out." ”
glared at Yao's, and said: "You are also a mother, other people's daughters do all this to save our family's great fortune, you are so good at keeping virtue under your mouth, and you will also accumulate some virtue for yourself." ”
Yao's frustration when he was reprimanded couldn't withstand the panic.
She had heard the rumors before, and she was not afraid because she knew that the rumors could not be trusted.
Holy One, who is that? Once the Son of Heaven was stupid enough to take all the officials into the underground palace of the imperial tomb, and then they were all buried in the underground palace? Wouldn't that save even the funeral when you died? The saint is not stupid!
Yao just thought the rumors were nonsense at first, and although he was a little anxious, he didn't take them all seriously.
But after hearing what Ma said, it was determined that it was really possible for Xiao Xiao to be buried in the underground palace, otherwise the mountain would not have come back with news until now, and the Yao family was completely panicked.
"Dad, mother, what can I do? You guys have to think of a way! ”
"What else can I do? We can't help, the only thing we can do now is to help the children take care of their homes. Ma Shi looked at Yao Chenggu, "Old man, what do you say?" ”
Yao Chenggu and Ma have been separated for so long, although Ma lost his temper and he was angry, but Ma was so soft to discuss with him, he was also happy, after all, he was an old husband and wife who had been together for a lifetime.
Yao Chenggu was warm in the letter, dispelled some anxious emotions, took the tobacco and added it to the brass cigarette pouch, and the old man's big hand compacted the tobacco at once, and said for a while: "You are right." We can't afford to mess with ourselves at this time. Take care of your home, sort out the gold and silver in advance, and if you have to leave temporarily, you won't be in a hurry. In one, arrange for a person to go to the mountain to listen to what is going on. ”
Ma nodded and said: "I don't think we can decide this matter by ourselves, there are still Sister Yi and his second uncle and third uncle in the in-laws' family, and we still have two strategists left by Dafu, after all, we are a family behind closed doors now, and we must get together to discuss if something happens." ”
