Ling Zhiqiao went to see Xiao Qian early the next morning, she had been thinking about it for a long time last night, how to phrase it appropriately, and tell her uncle what she overheard on the roof about Mrs. Zhengfang.

When Ling Zhiqiao entered the courtyard, Xiao Qian was practicing martial arts, a set of gossip stick method made the tiger and tiger strong, she sat down on the stone bench on the side, while watching, while secretly remembering the tricks in her heart, although she didn't know what kind of stick method Xiao Qian was practicing, but she thought that she could use it after all.

It wasn't until Xiao Qian finished practicing this stick technique and his body returned to a peaceful state that Ling Zhiqiao immediately applauded.

She clapped her little hands quite vigorously and said to Xiao Gan: "Uncle, what kind of stick technique are you doing, Qiao Er has never seen you practice, dazzling!" ”

Xiao Qian smiled and handed the stick in his hand to his subordinates: "Tai Chi gossip stick, can Qiao Er know?" You have a good memory, you can remember it after watching it a few more times, but you don't need the old man to teach you, how about it, what did you gain last night? ”

Ling Zhiqiao got up and said, "Qiao'er just memorized the moves, but she couldn't remember the essence, so she still had to be instructed by her uncle to learn it." As soon as she wanted to tell Xiao Gan about last night's events carefully, she saw someone come in to report: "Master, the messenger from the post station has sent a letter." ”

Xiao Qian took the letter handed over by his subordinates, and after opening it and reading it, he smiled and said to Ling Zhiqiao, who was waiting impatiently for a long time: "Second Highness said that they have set off from Xiongzhou City to the next stop, Yongfeng Pass, and the journey has been safe so far, so don't you worry?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao nodded and said: "So after the Yongfeng Pass, you will be out of the pass, right, then my uncle remember to give me a map, so that I can know how far he has gone, so it looks more specific." ”

Xiao Qian smiled and said, "It seems that you and Your Second Highness are not at ease with each other!" When the old man comes back today, he will bring you a map, so let's talk about last night's incident first! ”

Xiao Qian also wanted to know very much what kind of reaction she caused when she made such a fuss. ”

Ling Zhiqiao spoke again, and just as he was about to speak, the next person came to report again, and Lord Du Lieutenant Luo Liancheng asked to see him.

Xiao Qian was still bored, Luo Liancheng came in, and when he saw Ling Zhiqiao was also there, he bowed and said, "My subordinates meet the general, Miss Ling is good." ”

"Captain Luo, is there something in the army? Won't I go to the barracks in a moment? ”

Luo Liancheng hurriedly replied: "General, today is the day of the competition in the army, and all the generals are looking forward to the general personally supervising them, have you forgotten?" After all, if you're there, you can also boost their momentum. ”

"Oh, yes, yes." Xiao Qian really ignored this matter, he also thought about a lot of things that had happened over the years yesterday night, and he actually forgot about such an important matter.

Ling Zhiqiao hurriedly instructed the people in the courtyard: "Change the old man's clothes, hurry up." ”

When Xiao Qian entered the house to change clothes, Ling Zhiqiao asked Luo Liancheng: "Lord Duwei, if you win the first place in this military competition, will you have merit?" ”

Luo Liancheng said with a smile: "Of course, whether it is a group practice or a single person, there will be a chance to raise the number one who comes out on top." ”

Ling Zhiqiao raised her eyebrows and said, "The team that accompanied His Royal Highness on the envoy didn't suffer a loss. ”

"Haha! Miss Ling, Captain Li's team was the top team last year, if anyone is the first today, they will have to wait for them to come back before they can compete, as for the singles, they will wait until they come back from the mission to start the competition, and we will not leave them behind if they have talents. ”

Ling Zhiqiao said with satisfaction: "This is fair. ”

Xiao Qian, who had already changed his clothes, walked out, pointed at Ling Zhiqiao and said with a smile: "You girl, are you afraid that Jiang Dawei won't have a chance!" ”

Ling Zhiqiao grinned: "Of course, you can't give up halfway!" Then Jo'er will report back to you in the evening, remember to bring a map. ”

She thought to herself that since she had been interrupted twice to say something, she would wait until the evening to say it, and it would not be bad for this day.

Ling Zhiqiao checked Xiao Qian's military uniform, armor, weapons and accessories again, and sent Xiao Qian out of the mansion before she turned around and hummed a little song and jumped back.

I didn't go far on the narrow road when I saw Ling'er holding a basin of water and walking towards Xiao Qinxue's yard, but the blood on Ling'er's face was not wiped with any medicine, and the blood stains on the scalp could be faintly seen on the forehead.

After Ling'er saw that the person who came over was Ling Zhiqiao, her hands trembled, and some water in the basin spilled out, Ling Zhiqiao asked, "Ling'er, did you meet someone last night?" It's a scary sound, you won't really hit the hell! What's the matter with your face? ”

Ling'er stumbled and said, "No, no, the slave maid was just dazzled, and accidentally fell and scratched." After speaking, he quickly walked towards Xiao Qinxue's courtyard with a basin of water.

Ling Zhiqiao looked at the water stains on the ground from behind, and she estimated that the water in the Ling'er basin should be sprinkled when she walked to the place.

Ling Zhiqiao walked towards the Dream Garden, thinking about how to tell General Xiao at night, and Xiao Tao, who had been waiting for her in the Dream Garden, hurriedly greeted her and said, "Miss, the Han guards are here." ”

Han Li also stepped forward and said, "Miss Ling, you are busy enough, you went out early this morning, aren't you afraid of your subordinates suing?" ”

"I haven't left the house again, which family are you suing, and besides, the medicine Xiaotao in my hand has also been replaced for me, Han Guard, if you dare to sue me with His Royal Highness for an unwarranted situation, this girl dares to go to Sister Liu'er and say bad things about you, are you afraid?"

Han Li immediately begged for mercy: "The subordinates are just joking, Miss Ling don't take it seriously." ”

Ling Zhiqiao was proud in her heart, I can't cure you anymore, but she deliberately asked Han Li in a pretentious tone: "Guard Han, why did you come so early!" ”

Han Li raised his lips and smiled: "When my subordinates arrived at the side gate just now, they saw a fast horse with a post station at the gate of the mansion, presumably Miss Ling already knew where the Second Highness was." ”

"Yes! What's wrong? It can't be that His Royal Highness has sent you another message. Ling Zhiqiao questioned.

"That's not it, it's just that His Royal Highness said when he left, when he arrives at Yongfeng Pass, if he doesn't meet the people who sent out first to explore us, I'm afraid it will take more than ten days to come and go, and I ask Miss Ling to be low-key and cautious."

Ling Zhiqiao said helplessly: "I'm just afraid that I'll get into trouble!" Is that what he means, he's really nagging. ”

Xiao Tao's face was shocked, and she immediately tugged on Ling Zhiqiao's sleeve, Ling Zhiqiao looked at her sideways and said, "Why are you dragging me?" ”

"Miss, you, you can't say that His Royal Highness is nagging, that's disrespectful." Little Peach Branched Ways.

Ling Zhiqiao turned her head to look at Han Li, Han Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Ling, Xiao Tao knows the etiquette in the palace, you are very disrespectful." ”

Ling Zhiqiao glared at him, and suddenly changed his words and said, "Guard Han, what did you find in the capital?" ”

Han Li stopped joking and said, "There is indeed something." ”

He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Ling Zhiqiao: "Miss Ling, look at it, this portrait is the person you and Jin Gui'er saw?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao opened it and saw that the person who really painted the portrait was the prince who had an affair with Queen Jiang on the night of the cold palace, but he was no longer dressed in the Western Regions, and she was pleasantly surprised: "So, he is indeed in the capital as Jin Gui'er said?" ”

Han Li shook his head and said, "Presumably, he was indeed in the capital before, but now he is not sure, so he is waiting for news, and the largest money bank in the capital may also be related to him." ”

Ling Zhiqiao said strangely: "Since he is not in the capital, how can there be a portrait of him?" ”

Han Li suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Didn't I visit on the orders of His Second Highness?" The main thing is that I haven't seen this prince either, even if I find someone to investigate, it is not easy to do without a specific description, so I went to the Taiwei Mansion and went to find Lord Zhang. ”

"Stop."

Ling Zhiqiao interrupted Han Li's words and smiled weirdly, "I can't be mistaken!" You've gone to find your father-in-law? ”

"What father-in-law, isn't it, isn't it that you haven't married yet?" Han Li stumbled and explained.

"What are you stumbling on? It's also normal, you go on, go on. Ling Zhiqiao gestured with a wicked smile.

Han Li could only continue: "I'm talking to you about business, don't laugh, Miss Ling, didn't you find that the clothes of the people in the painting are the clothes of our capital?" ”

"Of course I found out, isn't that waiting for you to say? The day Jin Gui'er and I met, he was dressed in the Western Regions. ”

Han Li said: "What Master Zhang described to the painter is also the prince in his memory, he said that the prince loved to dress differently when he was young, and his appearance made him even more different." ”

"Originally, I was going to take that portrait and leave, but after Miss Liu'er saw it, she said that she had also seen this person."

"Wait."

Ling Zhiqiao interrupted Han Li's words again and said, "Guard Han, let's sit over there, your bend is a bit big, I have to analyze it carefully." ”

As she spoke, she walked to the stone stool not far away, and after sitting down, she asked Han Li with a smile: "Guard Han, you just said that you were going to find Master Zhang, so why is Sister Liu'er also present?" ”

Han Li explained: "I did go to find Master Zhang, I never thought that Liu Er was showing Master Zhang the dowry that you and Mama Qin embroidered for her, so I also saw it together, thank you Miss Ling first, and don't forget to thank Han Li when you see Mama Qin." ”

"Guard Han, you can really do it, you can just say no at the beginning, just say it, hurry up and say it." Ling Zhiqiao deliberately teased Han Lidao.

Han Li made a swallowing motion, and all the words that could make him nervous were finished, and the rest was very easy to explain.

"Liu Er said that she saw this person in the Yuehua Hall at the blessing banquet, Liu Er didn't know who he was at the time, but just glanced at the crowd by chance, after all, the appearance of the prince is easy to remember, Miss Ling, did you also say that you seem to have seen the prince at the blessing banquet."

Ling Zhiqiao muttered: "It turns out that Sister Liu'er also saw it, I thought I was dazzled." ”

"So the painter changed it according to Liu'er's description again, and it is what you see now." Han Li let out a sigh of relief after speaking.

Ling Zhiqiao looked at the portrait and asked, "Guard Han, but the biggest money bank in the capital you just said is related to the prince, how do you know that?" ”

Han Li explained: "Because if you take the portrait described by Lord Zhang and secretly investigate, no one will be sure of this person, and if you take the portrait described by Liu Er to investigate, Miss Ling, you can guess the result." ”

Ling Zhiqiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Someone recognized him?" ”
