Chapter 97 Infiltrating the Qi Kingdom
"Subordinate, the crime deserves death, please punish Your Majesty." Wang Shi dismounted directly and knelt on the ground.
Wang Shi, as Zhou Yunyi's guard this time, can be said to be a great failure. Now even if Xiao Chengze pulls him out and beheads him, it is not too much.
"Don't talk about that now." Xiao Chengze doesn't seem to be in the mood to punish Wang Shi now. In his heart, nothing was more important than Zhou Yunyi's safety.
Xiao Chengze asked anxiously: "Do you have any more accurate information now besides knowing that it was someone from the Qi Kingdom who kidnapped her?" ”
"I haven't got any other news for the time being, but it is certain that Yun Yi was tied up by other high-level officials." Situ Rou said.
Zhou Yunyi's identity is very unusual, and not everyone who has been there is willing to take such a big risk, if it is a few unknown minions, it is impossible to rob Zhou Yunyi. So to sum up, Situ Rou can simply guess Zhou Yunyi. It was kidnapped by the powerful people of the Qi country.
Xiao Chengze also guessed like this, if people who have been there know the identity of Empress Zhou Yunyi, then they will definitely not act rashly against her.
Zhou Yunyi doesn't know what happened in Qi Country now, but if the people who kidnapped him knew that she was the Empress of Great Xia, they should have some concerns, and they wouldn't kill Zhou Yunyi.
Xiao Chengze came directly this time, and Situ Rou also saw Xiao Chengze's true feelings for Zhou Yunyi.
As the emperor of Great Xia, it is not easy for Xiao Chengze to get out of the palace, even if he can hide it from the ministers around him, he will definitely not be able to hide it from the little dust around him.
Xiao Chenzi has always played a role in protecting and reminding Xiao Chengze.
Xiao Chengze's action, it is impossible for Xiao Chenzi not to persuade him. But Xiao Chengze still came without hesitation, and when he thought of this, Situ Rou's heart became even more guilty.
Xiao Chengze specially called her here from the frontier, in order to be able to protect Zhou Yunyi well, and he patted his chest before to ensure that he would be able to complete the task well, but now, he is simply a big joke.
Zhou Yunyi was right under his nose, and he was robbed by the people who rode by, and he himself didn't know it.
Situ Rou could only silently pray in her heart now that Zhou Yunyi had nothing to do. Otherwise, he would not be at ease in his heart for the rest of his life.
Xiao Chengze said: "You two prepare well, and we can go to Qi Country in disguise." ”
"Yes."
"Got it."
Situ Rou, Xiao Chengze and Wang Shi immediately forged their identities and prepared to go to the Qi Kingdom, and the three of them disguised themselves as tea sellers and sat in a small carriage with two baskets of tea in the back of the carriage.
Xiao Chengze's identity is the boss who sells tea, Situ Rou is still disguised as a man and is the boss's younger brother, and Wang Shi is dressed as a partner.
Because the three of them are very skilled in camouflage, and the tea leaves and documents they are pulling are not found out, what are the flaws? So I successfully passed the inspection and arrived in Qi country, where the flow of people is very high, and today is just a day to catch the market.
On weekdays, there may be some small traders and vendors selling along the streets, and on market days, some people in the countryside will also deliberately bring their home-grown vegetables or woven cloth to the city to sell.
It is also for this reason that the three of them entered the city very smoothly.
The name of the capital of Qi is Helong, and the management here is also very strict, and there are often patrolling guards on the streets, so the three of them do not dare to wander around the streets for a long time, so as not to be discovered by the soldiers, and their identities are fake.
After arriving at the capital of Qi State, their first task was to find out where Zhou Yunyi was now. But this first question is really difficult, the three of them, the whole city is really too large, to hide one person can have thousands of Tibetan methods, tens of thousands of Tibetan methods, for a while, they have no clue.
Situ Rou knew that they were standing on the street like this now, and there was definitely no way to find out where Zhou Yunyi was hiding, so if they wanted to get useful information, they still had to rely on the eaves and walls, but unfortunately it was daylight, and the cornices were too obvious.
"Let's find an inn to stay in first." Situ Rou put forward her own suggestions.
Xiao Chengze's expression was very solemn, obviously he didn't want to waste every minute and every second, it was just morning, if he didn't look for it, he would just find an inn to stay, then wouldn't this half a day be wasted.
Situ Rou saw Xiao Chengze's hesitation.
"I know you're anxious right now, but it's too slow for us to look for it on the streets in such a big city. Why don't you find a place to rest now, and then in the evening, the three of us can set out together to look for it. Situ Rou whispered.
Xiao Chengze also understood that the suggestion that Situ Rou said was very feasible, now that they had come here after a long drive, even if they could keep walking on the street, would they be able to find Zhou Yunyi's hiding place.
Situ Rou and Wang Shi are both very strong in martial arts, and his own martial arts are not bad, and light skills are even more upper, and waiting to come out in the dead of night to find them will indeed increase efficiency.
Xiao Chengze agreed to Situ Rou's proposal, "Then do as you say." ”
Wang Shi understood beside him, and immediately went to find an inn nearby with good comfort and booked three rooms.
The owner of the inn was very surprised to see the three of them, and it was a waste for the three big men to book three rooms. Although the boss is a businessman, he is a businessman with a conscience, so he reminded him. "Little brother, I don't see many of you, are these three rooms a waste?"
"......" Wang Shi didn't react for a while. After a brief spin of the brain, I remembered that Situ Rou was now disguised as a man. In the impression of the innkeeper, they were three big men who opened three rooms.
But that's not the case. As a girl, Situ Rou of course has to sleep in a room by herself. The rest are Xiao Chengze and Wang Shi. Xiao Chengze is the emperor, is he good? Even if he gave Wang Shi ten guts, he didn't dare to be with the emperor.
What's more, he just lost Xiao Chengze's wife and queen, although Xiao Chengze didn't punish him now, but when he couldn't turn around, he remembered this matter again, and when the time came, he would be beaten again, or he would be thrown into prison, it was unknown.
"Boss, you know that they are the two sons of my family, and I naturally can't live with the two sons."
Wang Shi said: "The second son of my family is a person who does not learn and has no skills, and his mother has been pampered since he was a child, and he has developed the habit of pampering. He can't live in one room with others, even if it's his own brother, so he can't do it, so he can only open three rooms. ”
While Wang Shi spoke, he didn't forget to put his hand on the boss's table, and there were some small movements from time to time.
Wang Shi said that he has a nose and eyes, and during the period of time he has been with Zhou Yunyi, he has not learned anything else, but his kung fu of making up nonsense has made great progress.
Just the last time Zhou Yunyi was a serious fool, when others donated money. Wang Shi stood on the side, and he was very impressed when he listened to it, and he didn't expect that he himself was standing here today and began to fool people.
After listening to Wang Shi's explanation, the owner of the inn quietly glanced back, and saw that Xiao Chengze and Situ Rou were indeed very temperamental, as if they were pampered, and complained a few words in their hearts, so they didn't say anything more, after all, it is also the freedom of the guests to open a few rooms, so that he can also earn a little more, so he simply doesn't talk more.
Xiao Chengze successfully checked into the inn. But instead of having a good rest for the afternoon, as he had promised, he immediately went downstairs after putting his luggage in his room.
After Xiao Chengze got out of the inn, he found a roadside stall on the most lively street, this roadside stall sells beef noodles, although the stall is not big, the tables, chairs and benches are very simple, but there are many people who eat, one of these people, most of them are ordinary people holding a bowl in front of the table to eat, that is called a fragrant.
Xiao Chengze chose this restaurant, not because he saw that the beef noodles were delicious, but because he took a fancy to it. It is the closest to the market, the most lively, and there are many people sitting here to eat, so it is the most suitable for finding out news.
There are not many tables, so people who come here to eat are not only with their friends, but also one or two of the rest of the tables.
Xiao Chengze found a middle-aged elder brother who looked like he was doing hard work and sat down, the eldest brother was holding a bowl and eating a bowl of fragrant beef noodles, and he didn't forget to hold a white steamed bun in his hand.
The eldest brother didn't look up at Xiao Chengze from beginning to end.
"Shop, a bowl of beef noodles." Xiao Chengze said.
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute!" The boss who sells beef noodles has a very loud voice.
"Guest, your beef noodles are here." The boss put the beef noodles in front of Xiao Chengze.
Xiao Chengze pretended to take two bites, and then began to find a topic to talk to the eldest brother opposite.
"I don't know where I bought the white bun in my brother's hand?"
The eldest brother on the other side realized that Xiao Chengze was talking to him, and he couldn't even care about swallowing the noodles in his mouth, so he muttered, "On East Street, Mrs. Li bought it." ”
The eldest brother glanced at Xiao Chengze when he looked up and spoke, "Little brother, listen to your accent, isn't it our local?" ”
"I'm a tea merchant from out of town, and I've just arrived here."
"Oh, it turned out to be a merchant." The eldest brother picked up the soup bowl and took a sip of the soup.
"It's a lot of fun in this city." Xiao Chengze complimented.
The eldest brother is also full of pride in his hometown. "That's it, the capital. Where else in the world can be lively here? ”
