Chapter 170: Lou Qi's Secret Business

"Hmmm! When that black halberd comes back, you'll wake me up immediately! Qing Xue's body was too weak, as if she didn't have much strength to speak, and she fell asleep again in a groggy state.

Ding Qi sat in front of the bed and guarded her, reluctant to leave an inch.

It wasn't until the black halberd probe came back and Qing Xue also woke up that Ding Qi fed her medicine again and translated the news from the black halberd to her sentence by sentence.

Gu Yan has rarely been out of the secret room in the past few days, but more and more corpses have been transported out of it, but fortunately, he still hasn't seen Mu Chundu.

Ding Qi deliberately omitted the sentence of the corpse, and only said: "The wolf soldiers did not find Mu Chun in the corpse, he is still safe, rest assured!" ”

"Hmm!" Qingxue nodded, lifted the futon and got out of bed and said, "I'm much better, let's go!" ”

Ding Qi knew that he couldn't stop her, so he could only turn his head and tell the coachman to prepare the horse. At this moment, it was only more than ten miles away from Lou Qi, so according to Geng Qiushan's instructions, he changed to a coachman who was relatively familiar with all aspects of Lou Qi, and then continued to hurry.

------

Ding Qi has been wearing a mask since he set off, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by this face, and also to cover up the feelings for Qingxue in his heart.

After the heavy snowfall, the sky gradually cleared, but the climate was still very cold, and Qing Xue was covered with a thick fox fur, which was made of wild foxes that Mu Chun had hunted with his own hands. When leaving Chiyun, Ah Qi and Lizi were collected together, and then they were left untouched with those few boxes in Qinghua Mansion, this time it was the Empress Dowager Chiyun who asked Ding Qi to bring them.

Now that she is getting closer and closer to Jicheng, Qing Xue is sitting in the carriage, her heart is becoming more and more uneasy, her two hands are nervously clasped together, Ding Qi looked at her restlessness, and told her some small things before departure through this ink fox skin, which was also to distract Qing Xue.

Previously, Ding Qi had been staying in the cellar of Qinghua Mansion to recuperate after his injury and had not gone out, and he did not show up until he decided to leave, so the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother thought that Mu Chun had come back when they saw this person who looked exactly like their son.

If it weren't for Daoist Chong Yuan explaining beside him, I am afraid that they would all rush up and hug Ding Qilao in tears. However, the disappointment after the joy made them not slow down for a long time. Fortunately, there were two grandsons Mu Jun and Mu Li around their knees, and they heard that Ding Qi was about to take Qingxue to Louqi to save people, so they raised their spirits again and prepared everything they could prepare.

Qingxue was too anxious when she came out, and she couldn't meet them, since they were two children, counting the days in the Pilan Palace, she hadn't seen them for almost a month, how could she not be concerned? It's just that this concern is covered up by the worry about Mu Chun's decision, and there is no trace.

Now that she heard Ding Qi mention it, she remembered to recruit the black halberd in and ask.

The two children have the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother to take care of their natural health, Geng Qiushan also ordered the wolf soldiers to strengthen the defense inside and outside the Qinghua Mansion, and the Empress Dowager Pilan seems to be very concerned about the safety of her old sister, and sent hundreds of secret guards to guard the surroundings.

It's just that the situation in the palace is a little chaotic, Gu Sichen knew that Qing Xue left the palace to rescue Mu Chun, so he wanted to quietly follow him to protect him secretly. But how could the Queen Mother let him put himself in danger, and when he hadn't been able to get out of the palace gate, he directly ordered the ghost to stop him and send him back to the Qinzheng Palace. Dozens of secret guards watched, and he couldn't get out of it despite all his might.

And the pear has been diagnosed by the imperial doctor and has been determined to be pregnant with an heir, and the queen mother's joy and jealousy can be imagined.

However, Qingxue naturally doesn't have to worry about the safety of pears, there are still a lot of wolf soldiers left in the palace to guard, and the queen mother has already taken people to Fengxi Hall to take care of, and Aqi and Xiao Yinzi were also followed by Enzhuo, and the people in the harem can't get close to her no matter how many people have three heads and six arms.

......

Qing Xue was listening to Ding Qi's sentence by sentence translating the news from the black halberd, and her heart was a lot more settled, but the carriage was suddenly stopped at this time.

"Who?"

The voice of the coachman came from outside, Ding Qi took out the pistol he carried with him to protect Qingxue behind him just in case, and the black halberd had already drilled out of the curtain to investigate the situation.

"My subordinates asked to see Concubine Xian on the orders of the Queen Mother."

A rough male voice came from outside, and before the black halberd could report, Qing Xue could hear that it was the voice of the ghost.

Qing Xue and Ding Qi got out of the carriage and saw a ghost in a black robe stopped in front of the horse, his tone was polite, but his face still had the same coldness that had not changed for thousands of years, and his whole body exuded a terrifying momentum.

After seeing Ding Qi wearing a mask, the ghost was obviously stunned for a moment, but he seemed to react quickly, but he still couldn't figure out how this man had escaped from the palace from under his nose before, and what was his relationship with Qing Xue? However, the Queen Mother didn't ask about this matter, and he didn't have the heart to investigate it carefully.

"What does the Queen Mother have to explain? Isn't Li Meiren happy? Qing Xue stepped forward and asked, and the black halberd stood vigilantly in front of Qing Xue, ready to fight to the death with the unknown person in front of him, and the originally calm jungle around him was also a little undercurrent.

Naturally, the ghost also noticed the surge of wolf soldiers in the forest, but he just indifferently handed the drawings in his hand to Qing Xue and said, "The Queen Mother ordered her subordinates to come down and reach an agreement!" This is the Jicheng defense map probed by the subordinates, as well as the location and topographic map of the ancient Yan secret room, the surrounding poisonous barriers are strong, ordinary people will die if they get close, the queen mother ordered her subordinates to tell the virtuous concubine, hoping to cherish herself. ”

Qing Xue heard that he meant that she would not go to save people in person, but with this defense map, even Ding Qi could save a lot of troubles. Therefore, Qing Xue was grateful to the Queen Mother for keeping her promises, so she only nodded and said, "Thank you for me, the Queen Mother." ”

"Hmm!" As soon as the words fell, the ghost disappeared from Qing Xue's eyes in a flash. And the wolf soldiers who had appeared around them also disappeared into the forest again.

Qing Xue and Ding Qi returned to the carriage and opened the defense map after departure. The guards of Jicheng are not very tight, and it is obvious that the vitality damaged in the previous Lou Chi battle has not yet recovered.

It's just that Gu Yan's secret room is very complicated, even if there are no guards, ordinary people are afraid that they will lose their way and be trapped in it when they go in, so looking at the drawings drawn very clearly at this moment, Qing Xue is even more grateful to the Empress Dowager Pilan in her heart.

If this drawing is missing, even if Ding Qi enters smoothly, he is afraid that he will die for life, let alone come out after Mu Chun is decided.

Qing Xue looked at the location of Mu Chundu, which had been marked with cinnabar on the paper, her palms trembled unconsciously, Mu Chundui was there waiting for her to rescue, and in three days at most, they would be able to reunite!

-------

In Lou Qi, the horses were all bought and replaced, so Qing Xue didn't think about Lou Qi's secret businessmen at all, let alone that there would be secret merchants when she just arrived in Jecheng.

According to this secret businessman, his name is Lu Qiye, and he is the head of Lou Qi's secret businessman. A few days ago, he received a secret letter from the head of the Okimoto Dao and sent him to answer.

Qing Xue heard him mention that it was Daoist Chongyuan who wrote the secret letter instead of Geng Qiushan, and she was puzzled in her heart, and when she set off, Ding Qi did not hear Daoist Chongyuan and Geng Qiushan mention Lou Qi and someone answered. However, looking at the secret letter in his hand that really looked like the handwriting of Daoist Chongyuan, Qing Xue dispelled his worries.

It's still daytime, and even if you want to save someone, you have to wait until the guards relax their vigilance at night. Therefore, Qing Xue could only tell Lu Qiye to take them to find an inn closest to the secret room to settle down. Then ask him about the situation in the secret room, so that he can do everything.

It's just that this Lu Qiye doesn't seem to be clear about the situation in the secret room, and most of the time he just agrees awkwardly, and after several conversations, he can't provide any valuable clues.

Qing Xue and Ding Qi couldn't help but have doubts again. Along the way, even the coachman Geng Qiushan sent a horse was a very capable person, and now at a critical moment, how could he send such a person who didn't know anything?

Now is the moment of emergency, and there must be no mistakes, so they tacitly glanced at each other, swallowed back the plan that they had originally planned to blurt out, and only said that the stakes were very important, and they needed careful planning, and they would plan again tomorrow.

After the people left, Ding Qicai summoned the black halberd and ordered it to find out the details of this road Qiye, and then took out the defense map sent by the ghost and carefully silentized twice before throwing it into the brazier and burning it.
