Chapter 68: False alarm

The moon has shone all over the West Building, and since Xi Yan went out in the morning, some news has been coming back from the Begonia Courtyard one after another.

After a day of nonsense, Xi Yan thought that he could go back to the house early today to rest, but Qi An was still in good spirits after a day of playing, and he was still not happy after listening to the music on Shifang Street, so he dragged Xi Yan to the largest Qinlou Chu Hall in the city, and found more than ten girls to accompany him, until the night was quiet and crowded, and Qi An went back to the house drunk.

Since the beginning of the time, Xi Yun has been waiting outside the courtyard gate, but at this moment, it is almost time, and Xi Yan still has not returned. Xi Yun was a little anxious, Xi Yan and Qi An were going out of the city today, the city gate had already been closed, and they didn't know where to look. Although he was impatient in his heart, Xi Yun could only wait patiently.

In the quiet night, the sound of the horse's hooves was particularly crisp, and Xi Yun had already heard the sound of the hooves of the dew purple, so he stepped forward to meet it.

Xi Yun saw that he was almost lying on the back of the horse and came back, so he hurriedly went up to support him, "Childe, how much wine did you drink?" ”

But the people on horseback did not react, and Xi Yun hurriedly called two little maids, and it took a lot of effort to carry him down.

"Qi Gongzi!?"

When turning the person on horseback over, Xi Yun was surprised to find that it was Qi An who was carrying Lu Zi. The two of them are of similar height, and they are wearing blue robes and white jade hair crowns today, and in the dim moonlight, Xi Yun in the distance did not distinguish clearly.

"Where's my son!?" Xi Yun was really anxious at this time, and he didn't care about Qi An, who was drunk into a puddle of mud, and patted his face and asked.

After the bumps on horseback along the way, Qi An had already fallen asleep in a groggy state, and no matter how Xi Yun screamed, he couldn't wake up. Helpless, Xi Yun had to order someone to send Qi An back to Qi Mansion by car first, and he took another person to find Xi Yan's whereabouts.

"Gongzi and Qi Gongzi must have mistaken the horse, and Sa Luzi knows the way...... But Qi Gongzi's horse doesn't know if he knows the way. I don't know where they went before, but they drank so much! ”

Xi Yun's face was anxious, although the inner city of Chongdu was not big, it was difficult to find a drunk person at night.

One of his guards looked embarrassed and thoughtfully suggested, "Why don't you ...... Report to the head of the house, and let the head of the house's guard also go out to look for it, and find it faster. ”

"Isn't that messy enough?" Xi Yun reprimanded, "Now there are not enough people in the Begonia Courtyard, and most of them have gone to the water." If the head of the family asks, how will we answer? It's better to look for it on the way back to the house first, but I can't find it, and then look for it in the Qinglou Dance Hall. Now that there are fewer people on the streets, it shouldn't be too much trouble to find. ”

"Yes," the group hurriedly drove out of Xi's Mansion and searched along the nearby streets.

More than half an hour has passed, and the entire inner city has been searched, but there is still no trace of Xi Yan, and in desperation, Xi Yun had to send additional people from the Begonia Courtyard to continue to search for Xi Yan's whereabouts in the entire Chongdu City.

The roads of Chongdu City are crisscrossed, and the outer city is more than three times larger than the inner city. And the people from Qi Mansion also sent a message that they had not seen any trace of Xi Yan, and also said that Qi An's horse did not recognize the way. When the guards were at a loss, Xi Yun went to explain the situation to Xi Luan again, and asked the Huan State Houfu to send someone to find it.

After listening to all the situation, Xi Luan just had a gloomy face, and immediately transferred people from his subordinates...... also promised not to tell Xi Yuanshan about this for the time being.

When the two guards found Xi Yan at the gate of the East City, it was already midnight.

Under the astonished gaze of a group of city gate guards, the guards of the Xi Mansion carried Xi Yan onto a richly decorated carriage and then headed for the inner city.

At this time, these city gate guards were a little lucky, when Qi An's horse came here with Xi Yan, the city gate was closed, they all thought that Xi Yan was here to make trouble, if it weren't for his luxurious clothes, the guards would immediately be rude. Fortunately, the captain of the guard had some insight and saw that Xi Yan on horseback was already drunk, so he ordered someone to carry him down and throw him on the grass pile at the door.

When they saw the sign of Xi Mansion hanging on the carriage, the guards understood that this was the son of the Xi family, and everyone was happy and a little afraid at the same time. If he really did something to this Xi Gongzi, it would be impossible to explain it clearly today.

Xi Yan was awakened by the smell of ginger in the hangover soup, he raised his hand and rubbed his temples, but saw his brother looking at him in front of the bed with a calm face.

"It's not your way to mess around," Xi Luan's tone was heavy, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes, "Such a profligate wreck, do you know what you have just become drunk?" If I don't go out to look for you today, will you sleep on the grass in the east of the city? ”

"My brother's lesson is," Seeing that his brother was rarely strict with himself, Xi Yan hurriedly lowered his head, "It's so late at night, and my brother can't rest, I ......"

"Okay," Xi Luan reached out and pressed his shoulder, "You're so old, I don't see you being confused in big things...... Why is it so frivolous today? If I can't find you tonight, are you going to kill your mother? My father doesn't know yet, and I won't tell you. But be at ease, and don't do it again! ”

"Yes," Xi Yan hurriedly agreed, "You go back and rest, there are people here to take care of it." ”

"Then you have a good rest," Xi Luan's face still did not change, and after a few words of advice, he returned to his courtyard.

After the elder brother left, Xi Yan summoned Xi Yun to the room, "What's the matter?" Why is it that even my brother is alarmed? ”

Seeing that his face was still a little pale, Xi Yun sighed and said, "What else can it be, you and Qi Gongzi got the horse wrong...... He was sent back by us, and then he looked for you for half the night. ”

"That's right," Xi Yun took the empty bowl in Xi Yan's hand and said very solemnly, "The dart team has entered Beijing today, did I send someone to keep an eye on it?" ”

"I know," Xi Yan recalled, recalling the dart team he had seen in the forest in the afternoon, and instructed, "It doesn't matter if you stare at it or not, it's in the city anyway, and you can't run." ”

Xi Yun let out an "um" and wondered: "Childe, where did you and Gongzi Qi go, how did you drink like this?" ”

"Don't mention it," Xi Yan rubbed his eyebrows, "Qi An's madman...... I drank a lot in the afternoon at the lodge and at dinner...... When he went to the song and dance workshop and the Qinglou after dinner, he actually called for wine again. At the end of the day, I drank four meals. ”

When Xi Yun heard him say this, he also complained a little about Qi Anlai, "Fortunately, I found you, otherwise this matter will be known by the head of the family, and I really don't know how to explain it." ”

"Well......" Xi Yan also knew that tonight was almost a catastrophe, the Begonia Courtyard was completely empty at the moment, and all the secret guards placed here were sent to the water, and this matter was obviously not allowed to be known to Xi Yuanshan......

But there was such a big move, and Xi Yuanshan still knew about it early the next morning. Fortunately, he only knew that Xi Yan was drunk and returned late, and he didn't know the real situation in the Begonia Courtyard, so he only reprimanded him a few words and ordered him not to do so in the future.
