After Qi Wei and Zhao Wanning got married, they had many contacts.

Qi Chu had just returned to the capital at that time, and his status in the Qi clan was awkward. Zhao Wanning seems to know his difficulties, and always supports him in his own way.

Qi Wei knew that there was a small black mole on Zhao Wanning's right wrist, but the wrist that had just stretched out from the carriage was as white as the moon, where was the shadow of the black mole?

Qi Zhi quietly rode his horse to the side of the carriage.

He thought in his mind, since this Zhao Wanning was not himself, it was very likely that even the eldest princess was not himself.

No wonder the two of them have to wear hats today, and they haven't spoken. I'm afraid that outsiders will see their appearances and hear their voices, and they will know that they are not the eldest princess and the county lord.

Since they can get the help of the maids beside the eldest princess, it means that these two people have been instructed by the eldest princess to play the eldest princess and the lord of Qinghe.

Qi thought about it, why did the eldest princess and Zhao Wanning ask someone to pretend to be the two of them? Where have the two of them gone? Is it safe? Is it possible to arrive in Qingzhou on time?

There are also the guards of the Royal Forest Army, last night Qi was worried about the safety of the two nobles, and arranged for the Royal Forest Army to be on duty and patrol in shifts, and I don't know how the two weak women of the eldest princess and the county lord escaped the eyes of the Royal Forest Army.

The disappearance of the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe, Qi Di did not dare to make a noise. As the captain of the Imperial Forest Army who was ordered to protect and escort the two nobles to Qingzhou, if the two nobles made a mistake, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

At noon, they passed through a town, and there was still some distance from the next post station, so Qi Shen spoke, and found a restaurant in the town for lunch.

This town is called Baiyun Town. The town is not large, and there are not many streets in the city. Probably because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the people are coming out to prepare New Year's goods, which looks very lively.

Qi Zhen found a two-story restaurant that looked like a better environment, and the ladies went to the wing room on the second floor with the "eldest princess" and "Qinghe county lord" to eat, while the rest of the people ate in the lobby downstairs.

Qi arranged his subordinates and went to the upstairs wing

"Celestial princess, Qi has something important to see." Qi Zhen was still as respectful as ever. He didn't want anyone else to know that Princess Celestia and the county lord weren't on their team. He knew that whatever the two of them had left the guards for, he would have to keep it a secret.

Soon the door opened from the inside.

After entering the wing, Qi Zhen did not salute, he looked at the two women wearing hats in front of him with great interest.

The figure of the woman who played Zhao Wanning was indeed slightly different from Zhao Wanning, and Qi Wei didn't know why, he could distinguish the subtle difference.

After a while, it was confirmed that the two were not the eldest princess and the county lord, and Qi weighed and said: "This matter is not trivial, and I hope that the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe will retreat." ”

The maid who had been following the "eldest princess" hurriedly spoke: "Captain Qi, eldest princess, her throat is uncomfortable, so it is not appropriate to speak." If it is not an important matter, I hope that Captain Qi will postpone the report. ”

Qi Chu didn't want to go around in circles anymore. The ladies in the room on the left and right should know the true identities of the two in front of them, and it seems that they have been ordered by the eldest princess and Zhao Wanning.

Qi Shen turned around and closed the door of the wing. When he spoke again, his tone was not so respectful, and he also carried the majesty of the captain of the Imperial Guard.

Qi Chuan said coldly: "The two girls might as well take off the hat on their heads, and let's talk about it." ”

"Captain Qidu, what do you mean by that? Do you want to be disrespectful to Princess Celestia and Lord Qinghe? The maid next to Princess Celestia asked.

Qi Zhen sneered: "The eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe are not here. As the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, I was ordered to escort the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe to Qingzhou, and now that the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe are missing, can't I, as the captain of the imperial forest army, interrogate the maids beside the two nobles? ”

After all, Qi Zhen was a person who had been on the battlefield, and there was a bit of chill in his voice.

The maid was visibly flustered, but as if she wanted to struggle a little longer, she straightened her neck and continued, "Bold! The eldest princess of Chaoyang and the county lord of Qinghe are sitting in front of you now, how can you be so honest? Aren't you afraid that the eldest princess will punish you for your sin! ”

Qi saw that the maid's voice was trembling, and she looked very pitiful, so he felt some compassion.

The maid is just a subordinate of the eldest princess, and she needs to obey the orders of the eldest princess. She can only do what her masters want her to do.

After a while, Qi Yan changed his tone when he spoke again: "I know that you are following the orders of the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe, and I don't mean to embarrass you. It's just that the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe are golden branches and jade leaves, and they suddenly left the guards of the Royal Forest Army, if something goes wrong, you and I will be beheaded. ”

"I'm not asking you to be embarrassed. I came to see you alone, because I didn't want the Guards downstairs to know about it. You also know that the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe are also ordered to go to Qingzhou, if the two of them disappear halfway, it will be difficult for the saint to explain there. ”

"I'm here to ask you, just to know where the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe went. You can rest assured, in addition to this wing, these two girls can continue to play the role of the eldest princess and the county lord. It's just that I have to know where the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe have gone. ”

Qi poured grace and power together, and knew it with emotion and reason.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Qi Chu didn't urge. He stood there silently, waiting for the maids in front of him to weigh up.

After a long time, the maid who played the role of the eldest princess took off her hat. She spoke: "The eldest princess said that the county lord of Qinghe left the capital for the first time and wanted to take her around, so she ordered us to play her and follow you with the county lord of Qinghe. As for where the eldest princess went with the county lord of Qinghe, we don't know. I also hope that Qi Duwei will forgive his sins. ”

Qi Zhen also knew that the eldest princess was the master after all, and the maids could only obey what she ordered, and her whereabouts were probably only known to her.

"I'll ask you again. Is that really what Princess Celestia said? Qi Yu confirmed.

The maid nodded, and then, as if remembering something, continued: "Yesterday, when I was serving the eldest princess for dinner, I heard the eldest princess say that there seems to be a temple near here. Maybe...... Maybe the eldest princess took the county lord of Qinghe to the temple. ”

Qi Chu didn't speak again. A long time passed before he finally spoke, and his voice was cold: "The two of you continue to play the role of the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe, don't let others know about this matter." I will look for both of them privately and keep them safe. ”

"Yes, Captain Qidu."

Qi Chu soon had a plan. He was willing to believe that what those maids said was the truth, Zhao Wanning was indeed leaving the capital for the first time, and if he followed the Imperial Forest Army all the way to Qingzhou, he could only sit in a carriage and travel endlessly, staying at the post station, and there was no time to play.

It is reasonable for the eldest princess to want to take Zhao Wanning out to see and play around. It is indeed more convenient for the two of them to act alone than for this large group of people. As long as they can reach Qingzhou safely and on time, there will be no problem.

However, as the captain of the Imperial Forest Army who escorted the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe to Qingzhou, Qi Wei was responsible for protecting the safety of the two nobles. Since he knew that the two nobles were playing in private, he couldn't continue to follow the Royal Forest Army, he needed to find the eldest princess and the county lord of Qinghe as soon as possible, and then follow them to protect their safety.

After Qi Chu went downstairs, he said a few words to Captain Zheng and left.

The maid mentioned the temple, so he started looking for it.

Qi Shen changed into a military uniform and pretended to be an ordinary swordsman.

There is a Baiyun Mountain forty miles outside the city of Baiyun Town, and there is indeed a temple called Baiyun Temple on the mountain.

After inquiring about the local people, Qi went to Baiyun Temple alone.

Baiyun Temple is located on Baiyun Mountain. The north wind was bleak, and all the leaves of the trees on the mountain had fallen off, leaving only the bare trunks. The mountain was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the sky and the earth were vast.

Qi Zhen, dressed in black, walked on the snow.

Baiyun Temple doesn't look big, and there aren't many people who come to the temple.

In the main hall there is a statue of Buddha, which sits on a lotus throne with a solemn face and kind eyebrows, looking compassionately at the people who have come to pay their respects.

Qi Chu has never believed in gods and Buddhas. In the past, when his mother wanted to take him to Lin San Temple to worship Buddha, he always refused in every way. But when he entered the main hall, he suddenly felt a sense of awe.

Qi thought about it, but still took three sticks of incense and lit them, and then respectfully bowed to the Buddha statue three times.

There was no one else in the main hall at the moment but him. Qi Zhen's heart suddenly panicked, and after a while, the panic disappeared again, as if it had never appeared.

Qi Chu felt a little strange. Since there is no one else in this hall, it is better to go out early and look elsewhere.

As soon as Qi Shen stepped out of the main hall gate, he was stopped by a monk wearing a crow-blue monk's robe.

Qi Shen bowed slightly to the monk and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, the monk stopped him, folded his hands and said, "Donor, slow down." When the poor monk sees that you are destined, why don't you count it with you. ”

If it was in normal times, Qi Shen would definitely not bother with the monk. He never believed in fate, nor did he tell fate. For him, fate is in his own hands, and fortune-telling is nothing more than nonsense and alarmism.

But Qi Yan stopped at this moment, and he said, "Thank you master." ”

"Amitabha. Donor, please come with me. With that, the monk led Qi Shen into the main hall.

Qi Zhen followed the monk to re-enter the main hall, only to find that there was a table on the right side of the main hall, and a stick holder was placed on the table.

The monk sat down at the table, then pointed to the lottery holder and said, "Donor, please draw a lot from the holder." ”

Qi poured into the goodness, drew a sign casually, and then handed it to the monk with both hands.

The monk took the slip and found the corresponding signature, then shook his head thoughtfully.

Qi Wei felt a little strange, and he asked, "Master, I signed ...... here."

"It's signed." The monk spoke, and then handed the corresponding signature to Qi Xuan.

Qi Zhen's heart sank suddenly, he took the signing document, only to see that it was written: The eyes of the lost Creek Bridge are dry, and the fish eyes are mistakenly regarded as pearls. Straight to the dust, the light is also born, and the mountains and rivers are broken and the dream is nothing.

Qi Zheng respectfully arched his hand and said, "I still hope that the master will solve his doubts." ”

The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha." The donor's signature is to say that the fish eye is regarded as a precious pearl, which is a wrong judgment of the brightness on the surface. However, after the dust has settled and things are in their place, the pearl will still shine in its own right. ”

"The benefactor has a long, dangerous, twisty and wrong road from the start. Now I want to turn things around, but I have lost the opportunity. ”

"I'm afraid there's no going back."
