Chapter 297: The Imperial Concubine is Killed
Ming Qingyan couldn't help but smile in his heart, my wife is really a kind person.
Subsequently, he followed Ning Shangmo back to the inn.
The next morning, when Ming Qingyan woke up, he happened to hear Ning Shangmo talking to the innkeeper.
As if discussing, I went to the pawnshop of Ning Kee Winery today.
He thought that since she was with the innkeeper and went to Ning Kee's shop, it should be fine, so he didn't go with him.
Leng Qingrong once warned him not to follow too closely, lest he be discovered. Keep up with them at the right time so you can really help her.
However, Ning Shangmo didn't go back to the inn for dinner at noon, but the innkeeper came back.
Ming regretted it lightly, he thought that the innkeeper would accompany Ning Shangmo to the winery and pawnshop, and then return to the inn together, but he didn't want Ning Shangmo to act alone.
He couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart that next time as long as Ning Shangmo went out, he would follow him out, and he would never let her act alone again, if she didn't leave his sight, if something happened, he wouldn't be able to help.
After lunch, he couldn't stay any longer, so he walked out of the inn and went to Ning Kee Winery.
Under the pretext of buying wine, he went around Ning Kee Winery and found no trace of Ning Shangmo.
Then, he went to Ning Ji Qianzhuang again, but still didn't see Ning Shangmo.
Now Ming said lightly that he was really in a hurry, where did Ning Shangmo go? He kept muttering in his heart.
walked around the border city street several times, but didn't see Ning Shangmo. However, I saw a lot of things about the Northern Mongolian people bullying the people in the border cities. But he didn't help, for fear of exposing himself, and it would be difficult for him to act in the border city in the future, and it would be easy for others to target him.
After all, there are only a limited number of people who can be saved at this time, and to complete the purpose of their trip is to truly and completely save the people of the border city from fire and water.
Just when he was extremely disappointed and was about to continue to go back to the inn to squat, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him, and many people rushed over to watch the excitement.
He couldn't help but be curious to walk over and see what was going on.
As a result, I saw several Northern Mongolian soldiers bullying several children who were performing arts, and one of them even threatened to fall to death.
The people around couldn't stand it anymore, and felt that the Beimeng soldiers were too inhumane, and they actually attacked the children.
Seeing that they were targeted, one of them lifted one of the youngest children high above his head and made a gesture to throw it.
None of the people could persuade him, and the more he persuaded him, the harder he became, and the more he was noisy, he had to throw it away.
Suddenly, a female voice shouted: "Everyone don't care, let him throw it, as long as he has no humanity and doesn't understand human feelings, let him throw away that child, and see if he is worthy of marrying a woman and having children in the future." ”
Ming Qingyan was very familiar when he heard this voice, and subconsciously looked over, sure enough, it was Ning Shangmo, and he almost screamed happily. Fortunately, I covered my mouth in time.
This is really, there is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
However, he was anxious about Ning Shangmo, he knew her character, and she would definitely be in charge of it to the end.
In this way, wouldn't she be too ostentatious and would be recognized, and it would be difficult for her to mix in the border city in the future. I was afraid that she would be wanted by the Emperor of Beimeng, which would not be conducive to the mission of their trip, so he thought to himself that he should find a way to stop her.
The Beimeng soldier was scolded by a woman, and he was very unconvinced.
However, he also knew that throwing a defenseless child was not worthy of being a man.
However, if you don't throw him face, you can't get by, and a man can't be scolded and admit it. So he threw the boy out with both hands.
Then the crowd erupted in exclamations.
Ming said lightly without thinking about it, on tiptoe, stretched out his hands to catch the child, and then put him on the ground and said to him, "Run." ”
The boy had heard that after such a toss, he was not timid at all, and after listening to his words, he turned his legs and ran away.
As soon as the Beimeng soldiers saw that someone had made a move, they threw down the children and walked towards him.
Ming Qingyan shouted in a fake voice: "Children, you run." ”
When the children heard this, they immediately scattered and fled.
Seeing this, Ming Qingyan couldn't help but nodded, very good, the children have run away, and he naturally won't be in love with the war.
The angry Beimeng soldiers jumped to their feet and shouted, "You'd better not let me see you again, otherwise you will be broken into pieces." ”
In fact, they didn't look at Qingming at all, and even if they met on the street again, they wouldn't recognize him.
Not to mention that Beimeng Bing wouldn't recognize him, even Ning Shangmo didn't recognize him is Ming Qingyan.
Ning Shangmo couldn't help but extend his thumbs up to him and nodded in praise.
Ming Qingyan didn't actually leave, but hid aside, Ning Shangmo's behavior naturally fell in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be happy.
Then, he followed Ning Shangmo all the way back to the inn.
In the next few days, Ning Shangmo behaved relatively quietly, staying in the inn all day long, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant reported the tandem situation to her every day.
This made Ming Qingyan feel at ease, she knew how to protect herself, and he also had to worry less.
On the fourth day, Ning Shangmo was having breakfast downstairs when he heard the news that an elderly woman had been killed.
She immediately put down her chopsticks and walked out. The shopkeeper of the restaurant was very worried and stopped her and asked, "Where are you going, big shopkeeper?" ”
Ning Shangmo said in a deep voice: "I'll go out and have a look, and I'll be back soon." ”
The shopkeeper of the restaurant hurriedly asked, "Do you want to bring a few people?" ”
Ning Shangmo shook his head and said, "No, I won't be okay." ”
After saying that, he hurried away.
Ming Qingyan naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went out with him.
I saw Ning Shangmo go straight to the south gate of the border city, and Ming Qingyan remembered that she had just come one night, and she was on this path, which should have been to find the old woman.
Thinking of this, Ming Qingyan couldn't help but have an ominous thought in his heart, could it be that Tuoba Hongyu's mother was killed?
Soon, Ning Shangmo came to the small courtyard where Tuoba Hongyu's mother lived.
Seeing that the gate of the small courtyard was closed and a white seal was pasted on the door, Ning Shangmo understood that Tuoba Hongyu's mother had an accident, and she was likely to be killed.
She couldn't help but feel sad, maybe she shouldn't have persuaded her to stay, maybe she would be fine when she left.
Just when Ning Shangmo was sad, a team of soldiers came over and shouted at her, "Who are you?" Know the host? ”
Ning Shangmo hurriedly shook his head and replied: "I don't know, I occasionally pass by here, and I see a seal on the door, and I am curious, so I will stop to see what happened." ”
"It's just a dead person, what's there to see? Hurry up, if I don't arrest you as a murderer. The soldier who looked like a small leader shouted.
Ning Shangmo pretended to be scared and said, "I, I'll go." ”
Then Ning Shangmo quickly left this place, and Ming Qingyan followed behind her.
Perhaps because Tuoba Hongyu's mother was killed, Ning Shangmo became alert, she looked back from time to time, and almost saw Ming Qingyan following her several times.
When she returned to the inn, she went into her room.
Ming Qingyan also entered his room afterwards.
After that, Ning Shangmo never went out again, but the shopkeeper of the restaurant went to her room a few times.
Therefore, they are far away, and what they are talking about is naturally inaudible.
At the third watch in the night, Ning Shangmo went out again.
Ming Qingyan then followed out the door.
This time, Ning Shangmo didn't go to Tuoba Hongyu's mother's courtyard, she had been killed, and there was no one living inside.
In the end, Ning Shangmo still stopped at the door of a family, and then pulled the door knocker.
Someone wouldn't be able to open the door and let her in.
Ming said lightly that he couldn't go through the door, he was a stalker, so he could only go through the wall.
This time, Ning Shangmo was led into the outer hall, and it was Tuoba Hongyu who was sitting in the outer hall.
Ming Qingyan still hid by the bed, watching the situation in the house through the punctured window paper.
"Prince Tuoba, is your mother really dead?" Ning Shangmo was not polite, but went straight to the point.
Tuoba Hongyu asked with a vigilant face, "Are you the eldest princess of Shangmo?" When did you come to Bordertown? What's the matter? ”
"Don't worry about these things yet, what I'm asking you about now is about your mother." Ning Shangmo looked at him and said.
Tuoba Hongyu shook his head and smiled: "How could my mother die? She's just ......"
Tuoba Hongyu didn't say the next words, and stopped them in time.
Ning Shangmo smiled: "I have met your mother and spoken to her. ”
When Tuoba Hongyu heard this, he immediately asked vigilantly, "What did you do to her?" She was just an ordinary peasant woman who didn't understand anything. ”
Ning Shangmo shook his head and sighed: "At the beginning, I really wanted to use her to force you and persuade the Northern Mongolian Emperor to withdraw his troops, and the Northern Mongolian Daling would not invade each other and protect the peace." However, when I saw your mother, I gave up on this idea, she was just a poor mother who missed her son but did not dare to see him for the sake of his future. So much so that in order to avoid those with ulterior motives, they hid in Tibet. ”
After hearing this, Tuoba Hongyu couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and his voice became choked, "I'm not a filial son. ”
Ning Shangmo comforted him: "As long as you live well, it is your mother's greatest wish." If you take care of yourself, you are the best filial piety to your mother. ”
Tuoba Hongyu nodded, suddenly remembered what she had said before, and immediately asked a little out of control: "What did you say?" My mother was killed? Where is she? ”
Ning Shangmo told him about his mother's whereabouts by chance, so he went to visit her. Then she said that when she was dining this morning, she heard that a woman had been killed, and she immediately went to his mother's house, and found that the door had been sealed and guarded by Northern Mongolian soldiers.
Tuoba Hongyu shook his head in disbelief and said, "How could my mother come to the border city? Hasn't she been in the countryside of Northern Mongolia all the time? No, that person definitely wouldn't be her. ”
He remembered that he had told his mother to let her stay in the countryside for a good time, and when he had gained a foothold in the royal palace, he would take her to the royal palace and let her preside over the affairs of his prince's palace. How could he believe that she was no longer alive now?
