'Bang Bang' –

The puddles formed by the heavy rain in the courtyard were splashed by the rapid steps of the visitors.

The man was a soldier, and the rain was tinkling on his armor and helmet.

King Ding frowned suddenly, and Xiao Mingqi had already walked to the door, opened the door to let the soldier come in first, and asked at the same time, "What's the matter?" Can I help you? ”

It stands to reason that King Ding, who is very old, will not have anyone or anything to 'disturb' his leisure in such weather, except for particularly urgent military situations.

Therefore, the string in Xiao Mingqi's heart also tensed slightly.

"Little General!"

The person who came first bowed his hand to Xiao Mingqi, and then gave a very standard military salute to King Ding, and said, "Report to the old general!" There is an urgent letter from the capital! ”

King Ding's hand on the chair suddenly trembled slightly.

Xiao Mingqi asked, "Why is it still urgent?" ”

The implication is to ask him, what is the important situation, it is so urgent, is it because of the accident in the capital?

The soldier shook his head and replied, "The lord from the capital didn't say anything, left a letter and left, he said that he must let the old general open it himself." ”

In fact, the person who came to deliver the letter was Du Ruo.

It's just that because of the heavy rain and the urgency of her departure, she deliberately wore men's clothes, so the soldiers didn't notice that she was a woman at all.

"Got it, go ahead."

Xiao Mingqi wanted to ask something more, but the king had already spoken.

"Yes! Subordinates retire! ”

The soldier put his legs together, his body straight, and after another military salute, he respectfully and quickly retreated, rushed into the rain, and disappeared.

"The third."

"Father?"

When he heard King Ding shouting about himself, Xiao Mingqi realized that he had already opened the letter and read it, and at this time, his expression was a little gloomy, his eyes were gloomy, and it seemed that something had ignited the anger that he had not woken up for a long time.

Xiao Mingqi was taken aback.

Did something really happen to Kyochu? Why is my father's look so ugly?

"Get ready."

King Ding stood up with his chair handle on his own, staring at the rain curtain outside, his voice was vigorous but seemed to carry a whistling wind, "As soon as the rain stops, let's enter Beijing." ”

The piece of letter paper in his hand had been crumbled into pieces by him.

"Huh?"

Xiao Mingqi was suddenly shocked, entering Beijing? Didn't you just come back?

Moreover, there is still a war going on in the frontier right now, and it is precisely when someone needs to sit in the rear, if you leave at this time, it is not good for the situation on the frontier?

What's more, my father is old, and he is tired again, and the eldest brother and second brother will definitely be worried.

"I said, after the rain stops, we will return to Beijing immediately!"

King Ding's voice intensified, almost in a roar-like tone, and repeated it again.

“…… Yes, Father! ”

Xiao Mingqi was taken aback for no reason, and after being stunned for a moment, he reacted and hurriedly went to pack his things.

The king himself walked to the desk, spread out a piece of letterhead, took a pen and dipped it in ink, and then wrote a few lines.

At this time, Xiao Mingqi came over again and asked, "Father, what's going on?" ”

He also knew that it must not be easy to make his father so angry, and even to go back to the capital immediately without delay.

Could it be that it has something to do with the Ninth Grandfather who just ascended the throne?

"Something happened in the palace."

After King Ding finished writing, he put down his pen, picked up the letterhead, dried the ink on it, and continued, "You were seriously injured Grandpa Nine was unconscious, and Grandma Nine was taken away by Qin's dog son, and now life and death are unknown. ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Mingqi suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning.

This!

How could such a thing happen!

"Damn, a dog son who is a proton in Daqian, he dares to climb on Lao Tzu's head to spread wild!"

King Ding slapped his palm on the table, and the inkstone full of ink shook, and the ink splashed out.

Xiao Mingqi only felt a heartbeat.

Even, he now has a very unreal feeling, he is completely unable to digest what he has just known.

Grandpa Nine is injured?

Grandma Nine was taken captive?

Moreover, the culprit of all this is the new monarch of the Qin State called Qin Yufeng?

It's a thing!

"It's all borderless seals......"

King Ding couldn't help but sigh heavily, and said, "Your ninth grandmother is a person of destiny, if you get her, you will get the borderless seal, and the one who gets the borderless seal will win the world." ”

This is what Xiao Tingyi told him.

Xiao Mingqi suddenly felt that he was being slapped again, and his head buzzed.

The situation is so serious!

Rao has been sharpened on the battlefield for so many years, and at this moment, he can't help but be a little dizzy by this series of news.

And before, King Ding did not tell him this.

"Then I'll hurry up and pack up my things."

Xiao Mingqi was stunned for a while, and finally came back to his senses completely, and hurriedly went to pack up King Ding and his clothes.

He understands that when Grandpa Nine is unconscious, and Grandma Jiu's life and death are unknown, the palace has fallen into a situation where the dragons are leaderless.

Therefore, it is necessary for my father to go back again and sit for Grandpa Nine together!

The king stood in front of the desk for a long time, his face gloomy.

He thought about it, then unfolded another piece of letterhead, picked up the pen, wrote something quickly, and after drying it, he folded it and put it in an envelope, and said to Xiao Mingqi, "You come over first, and let someone send this letter to Xinyi Kingdom." ”

"Xinyi Kingdom?"

Xiao Mingqi was stunned for a moment, and then, as if he remembered something, he picked up the letter and put it in his arms, and said as he walked, "Father, don't worry, I'll let someone send it." ”

Xinyi is just an inconspicuous small country around Daqian.

However, Xin Yiguo has a heroic female general, called Ding Lan, the family has been hairpins for generations, and she herself has a pear flower spear dance with a majestic style, and when she was only twenty years old, she became a general on the border.

At the same time, it is also a legendary story of Xinyi Kingdom.

It's just that she was once young and vigorous and not afraid of power, which led to being victimized by traitorous ministers, and after being seriously injured accidentally, she was exiled to the border of Daqian, and happened to be rescued by King Ding.

After recovering from her injuries, before returning to China, she promised that if her benefactor was in trouble, she would definitely bring a gun to save her.

Right now, Xiao Mingqi and King Ding need to set off again and go to the capital, the back of King Ding's Mansion is empty, and if Ding Lan comes to help sit down, it can reduce a lot of worries.

……

At this moment, King Ming was sitting in the carriage, holding a book in his hand, and seemed to be concentrating.

But Xiao Mingcheng on the side was very clear, his father, in fact, couldn't read a word.

After receiving the news from Jingzhong, my father sat on the chair for a long time and couldn't calm down, so he packed up his things and came out to the capital on the same day.

Qingshan Academy was a little closer to the capital, so Su Yu took a trip himself.

After the news was delivered, he quickly returned to the capital non-stop, Xiao Tingyi is now unconscious, and he has to guard the camp for his good brother.

Moreover, as a general, he is the only one who can mobilize the elite soldiers of the Su family army in Beijing.

And because Xiao Jingxin also stayed in the capital, Xiao Mingcheng, who had been separated from his daughter for some time, came with him as an accompaniment.

But most of the time it's because I'm not worried about King Ming.

After all, Daqian at this moment is like a big ship that has encountered wind and waves at sea and is desperately trying to stabilize the rudder.

"Dad, don't look at it yet, right?"

Xiao Mingcheng handed over a handkerchief and asked King Ming to wipe his eyes, which were a little sour because of discomfort.

King Ming took it, wiped his eyes, but stared at the book again, and said quietly, "Anyway, it's nothing, it will take more than half a day to get to the capital, and there is no harm in reading." ”

Xiao Mingcheng looked at his father, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, but after thinking about it, he finally shut up.

He knew that his father was obviously uneasy, and there was nowhere to put his worries, so he could only rely on reading books to forcibly divert his attention.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Su Yu also mentioned that someone falsely spread the news that 'Xiao Jingxin was taken away' and deceived Ye Qingli, which led to Ye Qingli being seriously injured and taken away.

But in the end, Su Yu found that Xiao Jingxin was actually fine, but she was stunned and tied up and hidden in the closet.

Although this was a false alarm, every time he thought about it, Xiao Mingcheng still felt frightened.

If my daughter has something that is long and short, how can I explain it to my wife?

"It's me who is confused."

King Ming seemed to feel what he was thinking, closed the book in his hand, looked at the eldest son in front of him, who was majestic and had an excellent temperament, but was also middle-aged, sighed, and said, "At the beginning, I made your sister depressed and left my own child to go, I was afraid that you would be the same as me, so I thought about leaving Jingxin in the capital, but you are you, how can you be the same as me?" ”

When he said this, King Ming's elegant face was haggard, and his eyes were full of self-blame.

"Dad, it's all over."

Xiao Mingcheng shook his head, and explained seriously, "Yu Ling said that she never blamed her father, as the daughter of the Xiao family, she understands very well that it is already very good to have an ordinary life, and she is also willing to do something for the academy and her father, and her brother-in-law is not a bad person, but she is not blessed." ”

If you grow up in the capital, you are afraid, and you will inevitably be politically married.

Although, in this matter, King Ming made a mistake, but Siren has passed away, and no matter how much he regrets it, Xiao Yuling will not come back to life, so Xiao Mingcheng can only try his best to comfort King Ming.

"She's not blessed."

King Ming's voice was very low and annoyed, "Isn't it a blessing to be my daughter?" ”

"Dad, you can't say that."

Seeing that King Ming's mood was getting worse and worse, Xiao Mingcheng hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "I heard that the two newly appointed ministers admire you very much, and their knowledge is extraordinary, I also want to see it." ”

"They."

King Ming knew his son's kindness, so he also nodded and said, "It's really good, a Zhen Dian who has been trained by Prime Minister Gao with all his learning, and He Fang, who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, but has always been able to maintain his innocence and not involve party affiliation, are all malleable talents." ”

"yes."

Xiao Mingcheng nodded, and said, "We have such a newcomer, and the people are also beneficial." ”

King Ming was about to say something more, but suddenly he felt the carriage shake and almost fell off his seat, and the horses outside the carriage neighed violently, as if they were frightened by something.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Mingcheng lifted the curtain of the car, intending to ask the coachman, but he didn't expect to see a bright and slender sword on the neck of the trembling and frightened coachman.
