Before Emperor Dezhao could remember who Ye Qingcheng's eyes looked like, Ye Qingcheng had already knelt down calmly, "The minister Xie Empress Dowager is very loving, among all living beings, although people are similar, but the minister can be similar to the first emperor, it is really a great fortune for the minister!" ”

People are similar, so the royal blood or something, absolutely nothing to do with me!

Empress Dowager Hua pouted, "Even the smell of wanting people to beat him when he speaks seems to be ten percent."

Ye Qingcheng, "......"

Queen Mother, I knelt for you, please let me go!

"Originally, your surname Xiao was so capable, it doesn't matter if you send one or two to others as sons, but this is not good, you check it carefully, let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors."

Emperor Zhao of De (then able to give birth to the surname Xiao), "......"

It is absolutely correct to suddenly feel that the queen mother has been hiding in the Cining Palace and not seeing anyone!

……

……

Empress Dowager Hua heard Ye Qingcheng talk about the situation in Ye Mansion, and let her go very happily, let Ye Qingling take care of the family affairs and come back, thinking about it and saying, "You have to serve the sick and deal with family affairs when you go back, there is definitely no time, the mourning family will help you take care of Bai Jiahei."

Crowd, "......"

In fact, the Queen Mother, you must be secretly glad that you finally have the opportunity to monopolize white and black, right?

Ye Qingcheng was anxious, and after the Empress Dowager Hua finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye.

Emperor Dezhao looked Ye Qingcheng up and down, and wanted to say that you are not suitable to go out of Beijing now, but in the end he just said lightly, "Go back to Beijing after finishing your errands earlier, and I will send two people to run errands for you."

Ye Qingcheng knew that Emperor Dezhao sent someone to follow him, and it would never be as simple as running errands, but he could only respectfully thank him.

Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingling went out of the palace, and briefly explained that Ye Qingsong calculated that Ye Qingshu lost his life if he didn't succeed, and Ye Qingshu was sent out of Beijing by Ye Shouyi, and told her to ask where Ye Qingshu was sent by Ye Shouyi, send someone to send him a letter, and hurry towards Songming.

He took the land route, several times faster than the waterway, and traveled day and night, and arrived at the small pier where Ye Qingshu and Ye Shouyi had a head-on dispute at noon on the fourth day.

When it comes to this clue, it's all broken, it stands to reason that even if his father escorts him personally, Ah Shu should be able to find a chance to leave clues and let him follow to find the past, not to mention just a few people, Fangcao and Fangyuan are all by his side?

Even if Ah Shu doesn't have a chance to leave clues, so many guards, maids, mothers-in-law, and a mighty group of people will definitely leave traces wherever they go, at least someone will see it.

But now, all traces seem to have been artificially wiped away, and the people of the Zhiguo Mansion have not found them until now.

If the traces were erased by my father's men, it would be fine, but if not—

Ye Qingcheng could only check from the information provided by Xuan Ming, although Xuan Ming did not come together this time, he sent two capable subordinates to follow.

Jin Yiwei was much more convenient than him, and quickly locked the rattle mountain where the group of people disappeared.

The foothills of Rattle Mountain are wide and round, looking like a "bell" from afar, and the locals call it Rattle Mountain.

The clues were all broken, and there was no news from Ye Qingling's side, so Ye Qingcheng had to go to Rattle Mountain first to see if he could find some clues.

The mountains at the foot of Rattle Mountain are winding, and even if Ye Qingshu is really somewhere in the mountains, with the people he brought, it will take several days to find out.

The more Ye Qingcheng thought about it, the more anxious he became, the more anxious he became, when he arrived at the foot of Rattle Mountain, it was already night, and Qijiu, who had come to inquire about the news, stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, about half a month ago, two hunters were bitten to death by wild beasts in this vicinity, a medicine farmer, and there is nothing abnormal about the others."

"In the previous dynasty, Rattle Mountain used to be a training ground, although it has long been abandoned, but no one dares to build a temple near it, about 20 years ago, a woman who was abandoned by her husband's family had nowhere to go, and built a few bamboo huts on the top of the steepest Inuya Peak to live."

"Later, from time to time, homeless women went to defect, most of these women shaved their hair and worshiped the Buddha in the morning and evening, and only occasionally went down the mountain to exchange embroidered handkerchiefs for some food, and after a long time, the locals called them Pazi Nunnery."

"If the girl is really on this rattle mountain, most likely she should be in Napazian."

Ye Qingcheng got off the horse and "went up the mountain".

Qijiu stopped, "That Inuya Peak is very steep, even the locals dare not go up at night."

And you haven't closed your eyes in days.

"It doesn't matter".

Qijiu knew that he couldn't stop it, so he had to tell Ah Zhao to watch it closely, and took his men and Ye Qingcheng to go to Inuya Peak together.

The people brought by Ye Qingcheng, including the two guards and the two brocade guards sent by Emperor Dezhao to run errands for him, were all skillful, and they went up to the Dogtooth Peak all the way without danger and found the small Pazi'an.

On this day, it happened to be the night of the fifteenth full moon, and on the steep and towering Inuya Peak, the big and round moon seemed to be close to reaching out, illuminating the small nunnery as bright as day.

At this time, just after the child, there was silence in the nunnery, and the faint candle flame in the wooden house in front of it flickered and dimmed, which should be the everlasting lamp enshrined in front of the Buddha.

Ye Qingcheng had never believed in gods and Buddhas, and at this time, looking at the faint and uncertain light, he suddenly had an urge to rush forward and bow down.

If there really are gods and Buddhas, I beg you—

"That's not right!"

Qijiu's solemn voice interrupted Ye Qingcheng's wandering thoughts, "It's too quiet!" ”

It's so quiet, so quiet that it's dead silent—

Ah Zhao jumped onto the middle roof, quickly jumped down, kicked open one of the doors, followed by the second, and shouted, "Big brother, there is really no one!" ”

Qijiuyi waved his hand, more than a dozen guards rushed in, Ye Qingcheng's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled uncontrollably, he wanted to step in, but he couldn't lift his feet even after trying a few times.

At this time, the leading guard turned around and said, "Uncle, everything in it is there, but there is no one, and the brothers are searching carefully."

Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath, then felt that his strength had returned, and walked in quickly.

This is a nunnery that is so simple that it can't even be regarded as a nunnery, and the Buddha statue is only the statue of Guanyin carved out of the trunk of the nuns themselves in the wooden house, which is very shabby and only enshrines an everlasting lamp.

Ye Qingcheng looked at the size of the lantern and the remaining lamp oil, even if those nuns had just filled up the gas before leaving, it would never be more than three days from now.

He wasted a day in Beijing, and after arriving in Songming, it took another two and a half days to find this place, and if Ashu was really here, he left again-

Does that mean that if his father is willing to tell him where Ash is, he will be able to arrive just before Ash leaves?

Ye Qingcheng forced himself not to think about the useless if, and ordered Ah Zhao to light the torch, and carefully searched room by room.

The houses in the nunnery are not large, the largest should be the wooden house dedicated to Guanyin, most of the others are made of bamboo, and occasionally a few wooden planks will be added to block the wind and reinforce, a total of only a dozen rooms, surrounded by a square, enclosing a small backyard.
