At this time, when Cao Gou went to see the two elders, one said that he was not sick, and the other also hastily entertained his subordinates, claiming that their village was self-sufficient and did not want to interact with outsiders. Just ......"

"Just what?" Ziqing was a little anxious when she saw Cao Gou talking.

"But when I came back, I saw the leader again."

"Xiaozhong-" Ziqing's heart moved, "Could it be that Xiaozhong has gone back again." ”

"Yes, just left again."

"What else? That's all? ”

"That's all there really is." Cao Gou blushed and didn't say anything more.

In fact, Cao Gou still didn't give up after being sent away by Elder Yuan, so he stood in the corner and eavesdropped on the conversation with Xiaozhong.

And Xiaozhong wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, it was good to have an explanation for these people.

He came back to Elder Zheng Yuan to advise him, and if he said that he would never come back and was afraid that they would be sad, he said: "This time I was separated from my wife Xiangsoul, and I will come back when I find Xiangsoul." ”

"It's fine." The second elder Zheng Yuan twisted his beard, although he was reluctant, but he agreed, and Elder Zheng told Xiaozhong again: "Chief, remember not to tell outsiders about our residence here. ”

Xiaozhong asked, "Why?" ”

The two elders were also thoughtful, and exchanged glances, and Elder Yuan said again: "We hid here for refuge, and the matter will be told one by one when the leader comes back next time." ”

Xiao Zhong didn't have so many thoughts, but just said: "Elder Zheng, Elder Yuan, don't say goodbye to the Xiang, there will be a period later." ”

The two elders had no choice but to send Xiaozhong away.

Cao Gou, who was standing in the corner, happened to hear Elder Zheng and Elder Yuan talking, and told Xiaozhong not to leak them to outsiders, and muttered in his heart.

The people in this village are acting so strangely, hiding and hiding, and these people are surnamed Yuan except for the surname Zheng Ben, I heard my father tell me that there were generals surnamed Zheng and Yuan who defected. Thinking of this, my heart palpitated: Could it be them? Then it all makes sense.

I made up my mind, if I didn't tell Ziqing in advance, I would go alone to ask for credit in front of Banzai, which might also be a great achievement.

The brigade rested for one day, and the next day it was time to return to the dynasty to resume his life, and Ziqing had to continue to look for Xiaozhong, so he sent Cao Gou and Cao Rong away.

Besides, Cao Gou and Cao Rong returned to the capital with a large group of men and horses, and informed Emperor Ming that how fierce the battle was, how the bandits were surrounded and suppressed, and Emperor Ming was impatient to hear it.

Because before this, Ziqing had already handed over a letter to Emperor Ming, and Emperor Ming was already pleasing to the eye, so he naturally felt the fierceness of the war, the bravery of the soldiers, and Ziqing led the troops well.

Emperor Ming wanted to let this Cao Gou retreat, but Cao Gou said again: "Long live, the minister still has something to report." ”

"Say!" Emperor Ming was a little impatient.

"At the time of the encirclement and suppression of bandits, there was a village where the villagers had strong city defenses—"

"That's it?" Emperor Ming interrupted him.

Of course, this matter was also mentioned in Ziqing's letter, and he also intended to promote the young talents in the village as generals, and the proposal that this village should be used as a stronghold to resist bandits was clearly stated in the letter. Emperor Ming naturally didn't want to listen to this Cao Gou's recount.

Cao Gou naturally knew that this was what Ziqing must have said in advance, so he said directly: "But the elders of this village have one surname Zheng and one surname Yuan." Moreover, they are secretive and sneaky. ”

"Really?" Only then did Emperor Ming think about Cao Gou's words.

Cao Gou said again: "Long live have you ever remembered that Zheng Chu and Yuan Tang rebelled and were sentenced to be beheaded all over the house, and there were rumors that General Jin Yuan let their family members go." ”

"Of course I know. What else do you know? Emperor Ming asked again.

"The descendants of the Zheng family and the Yuan family also multiplied hundreds of people, and these hundreds of people can also be seen to be extraordinary in this war, and the minister also knows that there is a capable person among them, who specializes in training these people, and this person is also regarded as the leader by them."

"Really?"

They made meritorious contributions to defending against pirates, and Emperor Ming wanted not to pursue it, but if one day this team developed and expanded, it would be difficult to control.

Emperor Ming pondered for a while, and thought: After all, they are all the people of my Nine Domains, how can I bear to kill them, but the law is intolerable, if you let them go today, it will be difficult to convince the public, even if those ministers do not take the law to balance, I am afraid that more people will defy the law, and then the people's hearts will be discouraged, and my Nine Domains will lose the peace of the past.

Thinking of this, he said: "Naturally, I can't tolerate the fugitive rebels, so I have granted you a holy decree for you to secretly investigate this matter, and if it is true, you will be killed!" ”

"Whoa!"

Emperor Ming said again: "Does General Jin Yu know about this? ”

"General Jin once asked about this, but the other party did not tell the truth, and I happened to hear the two elders secretly discuss and only found out."

"That's easy, Jin Yu still has important things to do, don't let General Jin know for the time being, lest he be distracted."

"Whoa!"

"Remember to be careful, go down! Let Cao Rong come to see me. ”

Cao Gou received the order and deployed the assassination. Cao Rong also received the secret decree deployment from Emperor Ming.

Besides, Xiang Soul left Xiaozhong that day, Bai Yu made the matter clear again, Xiang Soul knew that he was wrong to blame him, and he was very remorseful, and now Xiao Zhong was nowhere to be found, so he and Bai Yu searched day and night.

Bai Yu had no choice but to put down his own business, and following the wishes of the incense soul, the two flew over one place after another.

On this day, the incense soul was very tired, so he made the white jade land in one place, and the white jade fell nearby and landed on the shore of a lake.

The two of them rested in a pavilion by the lake, and Xiang Soul thought to himself: After searching for so many days, the Nine Domains are so big, how can they find such a person? Then he asked Bai Yu, "Where is this?" ”

Bai Yu pulled and said in a long voice: "It's the capital-"

"Beijing? Xiang Soul's heart moved, isn't this the place where Jin Yu was killed? ”

"This is a sad place, how can Jin Yu be here?" He said that he was leaving again.

Bai Yu grabbed her and said: "The golden soup is no longer the golden soup of the past, how does he know if this place is a sad place, and if he comes, he will be safe." We look carefully everywhere we go, but how can we let this place go? ”

"Besides, that eagle from Jinyan will also help us. In this way, we have more people, and it will be easier to find. ”

"Hey—" Incense sighed.

"Eh—how did you learn to sigh as a wife? Your husband is not a child, he can't lose it, he can't go hungry. ”

"But after he was reborn, he was not deeply involved in the world, how can he know what is right and what is wrong, and how can he take care of himself?"

"Okay, if you hadn't wronged us at the beginning, how could this have happened, and besides, it's not a way for us to find this, so it's better to sit down and think of a way to let him take the bait himself."

"What's the bad idea again?"

"Hehe, I might be able to find your husband today with my bad idea," Bai Yu said confidently.

As he spoke, he flew out again, and when he came back, he hugged a dozen dumplings, clothes, silk or something, and Xiang Soul asked, "Where did this come from?" What are you doing? ”

"This is what the brothel boss gave me."

"The brothel sent you?"

"Of course, the bustard of my hue drools when he looks at it, so he is naturally willing to borrow me."

The incense soul does not believe it.

Bai Yu was also forced by the old bustard to comb a few of the most popular buns in the capital for the girls one by one before he was willing to lend them. This is difficult for Bai Yu, when Bai Yu is in the capital, he hides in the trees or in the crowd to watch the beauties every day.

Xiang Soul asked again, "But what are you doing with it?" ”

"Don't you know, there are a lot of famous girls in the capital, they are just famous for dancing and playing the piano in front of everyone."

"Aren't they the Oiran of the brothel? You're saying you let me learn from them, too? Do you want me to learn from Oiran? ”

"Of course!"

"You can figure it out!" Xiang Soul glared at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu still said: "Why not?" For your husband! Even this small sacrifice will not be allowed. ”

"Think about it, if you become famous, your husband may find you directly."

"But—" Incense Soul still felt that it was inappropriate.

"Hey, do you want to find your husband? Aren't you afraid that where he will freeze and starve? Bai Yu said threateningly, in fact, Bai Yu just wanted to send Xiang Soul to find Xiaozhong as soon as possible, and he could do his own thing with peace of mind.

"But this dress is too bright, how can you wear it?"

Bai Yu looked at it, these clothes are indeed what prostitutes like to wear, and they are too charming to put on Xiang Soul, and then looked at Xiang Soul, it is better to use his own clothes: "Then you can do it, I rented a flower shop in Dahu, you can go there and jump!" ”

The two of them did this, and hung the borrowed red silk on the painting boat, which attracted people's attention, and Xiangsoul temporarily used this method in order to find Xiaozhong as soon as possible.

But how can I dance? It's just that I drank a few more glasses in the lake and got drunk, and danced red silk to relieve my anger.

The fragrant soul is rare and beautiful, and the effect of the red jade hairpin makes the whole person like an immortal, and after drinking a few more cups, he misses filial piety and is puzzled, although he dances a few times, it looks more charming and moving.

In just one hour, the entire lake was crowded with people.

Coincidentally, Emperor Ming also happened to go out on patrol on this day, and this way is the most beautiful place, so he will play here step by step.

I happened to hear that there was a woman in red dancing in the lake, how moving, and seeing groups of men and women vying to watch, Emperor Ming and his personal guard Li Zhun also squeezed in.

Looking at it from a distance, I saw the beauty of the painting boat in front of me charming and moving, and the graceful dancing posture was even more moving.

Emperor Ming is also upright at this time, he is handsome and handsome, and he is dressed as a rich boy when he travels today, and he is also quite scholarly and elegant, and he also stands out among the crowds.

So he asked Li Zhun who was accompanying him, "Have you seen this person?" ”

Li Zhun thought for a long time and said, "Yes, it's very similar to the person in your collection of paintings." ”

"Could it really be her?"
