In the twenty-eighth year of Yuan Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a commoner, was proclaimed emperor in Yingtianfu, ending the rule of Meng Yuan in the Central Plains. However, for more than 100 years, the remnants of the Mengyuan forces who retreated to Mobei have always coveted the great rivers and mountains they once ruled, and have repeatedly waited for opportunities to go south, becoming a serious border trouble for the Celestial Empire. To this end, the Ming Dynasty set up nine important border towns on the northern border defense line that stretched for thousands of miles, known as the "Nine Border Towns" in history, as an important front for the defense of the remnants of the Mongolian forces. Ningxia is one of the "Nine Border Towns".

In the third year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty changed the Yuan Ningxia Mansion Road to Ningxia Mansion, and four years later the abolished Mansion was changed to Ningxia Wei, and with this as the center, it placed the left Tun Wei, the right Tun Wei, the Zhong Tun Wei, and the Ningxia Qianwei. There are not only the beautiful scenery of the southern water town, but also the magnificent landscape of the desert outside the Saiwai, the Yellow River passes through its waist, the flow is nearly 800 miles, leaving many ancient ferries, among which the most prestigious Hengcheng ferry is an important traffic throat here. Ascending here to the east, there is the vast yellow sand, and across the river to the west, there is an endless green field. The surging water of the Yellow River rushes north from here, and flows eastward at the mouth of the river, forming a loop. Once upon a time, the sand gulls here soared and gathered, the reeds flew white, the light boat was short, and it floated on the water, which was the necessary ferry for tourists to pass through the Yellow River. But now, it is an out-and-out border fortress where "the sword light waives the night lightning, and the horse sweats day and night", and the enemy and us are eyeing each other, and the war is about to break out.

Therefore, Ningxia Wei leaned on Guo Phoenix City and was heavily guarded. Regardless of military and civilian, when entering and exiting the city gate, they must show a customs talisman issued by the General Military Office with their own head on it, and they are not allowed to enter or exit without this talisman. In order to find his senior brother Shen Qing, Han Ming came here several times without success, because he did not have a pass talisman and could not enter the city at all. (Of course, if Han Ming admits his name, and the gatekeeper Yong reports to Xia Yao, he should be able to enter the city.) It's a pity that Han Ming didn't dare to tell him with his real name, so he was repeatedly turned away. ）

However, it is a different matter for the imperial court.

On this day, Chen Wenqi, Shen Lingshan, Ren Si and his entourage came to the outside of Phoenix City at the time of the fall of Jin Wuxi, showing the "special envoy Fu Festival" of the imperial court.

Although Xia Yao, the generalissimo of Ningxia and Zhenxi Soldiers and Horses, who is nearly seventy years old, is in a high position, Chen Wenqi is the minister appointed by the emperor today, and the gold medal in his hand can be used to "control local officials and promote soldiers and horses from all walks of life".

When they met, both of them were surprised in surprise: "Is it you?" "Is it you?"

"Hahaha, little brother, we meet again. Xia Yao laughed loudly.

Chen Wenqi took a step forward and gave Xia Yao a deep salute: "Chen Wenqi, who is a late student, meets his seniors." ”

"Hahaha," Xia Yao pulled up Chen Wenqi and said, "Who is Chen Wenqi, the champion of the new department? It turned out to be the talent I met at the 'Kung Fu Teahouse' that day, and Brother Liu can be regarded as a discerning eye." ”

Needless to say, the old man in the short coat who played against Liu Jian under the shade of the backyard of the "Kung Fu Teahouse" that day was the majestic generalissimo Xia Yao of Zhenxi in front of him.

"The seniors praised it falsely. Chen Wenqi said embarrassedly.

"Okay, let's go in and talk. Xia Yao waved his hand and walked into the hall of the General Military Mansion side by side with Chen Wenqi.

According to the rules of officialdom, Chen Wenqi handed over the 'envoy talisman' to Xia Yao, and then asked the emperor's handwritten edict from his arms, seeing that Xia Yao wanted to kneel down to receive the order, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the old general, and said with a smile:

"Seniors don't have to be like that. The emperor specially instructed that General Xia Lao was my minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he could hand over this edict to him, without the need to announce it. ”

After hearing this, Xia Yao felt the immense grace of the emperor, so he bowed to the northeast, turned around and took the holy decree in Chen Wenqi's hand, looked at it carefully, and then praised loudly:

"Okay, good, with this Mingjun, Daming Zhongxing is hopeful. It's been nineteen years, and it's time for my Hetao Sanwei to go home. Lord Chen, let's work together to drive the Tatar thieves out of Ningxia and recover the rivers and mountains. ”

"Wen Qi's predecessors are the first to look forward. However, it is better to ask the seniors to call the late students by their first and last names. ”

"In this case, the old man will call you General Chen. General Chen, let me introduce you," Xia Yao pointed to a middle-aged general on the left who was dressed in a white robe and had a unicorn complement on his chest and back, and said: "This General Qin Sen is the general of the General Military Mansion, General Zhengsi Pin Mingwei, the post of deputy general of the General Military Mansion is vacant, and General Qin is the old man's right-hand man. ”

General Qin admired for a long time. "General Chen has worked hard all the way. ”

Chen Wenqi and Qin Sen shook hands and exchanged greetings.

When the two hands were clasping, Xia Yao's eyes kept wandering over the two of them, and his face showed surprise.

Chen Wenqi noticed that Xia Yao was different, and asked, "What's wrong?" senior. ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Xia Yao quickly returned to normal, snorted, and led Chen Wenqi to the officer beside Qin Sen, and introduced: "This is a guerrilla general of the General Military Mansion, surnamed Gan Mingtian, and his rank is a fourth-rank martial general, his martial arts are good, and he is especially good at archery. ”

"General Gan, please advise. Chen Wenqi clasped his fists and saluted.

"The last general, Gan Tian, see Lord Chen. Although Chen Wenqi was lower than his grade, his status as a senior official was one level higher, so Gan Tian hurriedly returned the salute.

Below the guerrilla generals, there are also garrison, promotion officers and other two-level officers, Xia Yao introduced them one by one, and finally led Chen Wenqi to two officials wearing embroidery clothes, and said with a smile: "Presumably you have known each other for a long time, so the old man doesn't need to be introduced, right?"

The two saluted Chen Wenqi and said, "He Tang and Qin Zong have met General Chen. General Chen, don't come unharmed?"

Chen Wenqi looked at the two people in front of him, and asked slightly apologetically: "Please forgive me for being clumsy, dare to ask the two of you and ...... below."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "On Shuozhou Road, in the poisonous miasma forest." ”

Chen Wenqi suddenly realized that the two of them were the crazy monks on the Shuozhou Road, no wonder they were so familiar!

Thanks to the two of them for their many helps, I didn't have time to thank you. I don't know why the two of you are also ......"

Xia Yao patted Chen Wenqi lightly on the shoulder, and said: "You don't understand why they are also in the General Military Mansion, right? They are both the heads of the Ministry of War. Of course, in the past, the old man was in the military department, and he used to serve in Fang Shilang, and they were the old man's old department. This time to take over the governance of the three cities, the imperial court has been ready to recover by force, so Master Ma specially ordered them to return to the old man's command to assist in the recovery of the left, center, and front three guards, so they temporarily served as the garrison of the Ningxia General Military Mansion. ”

"I see. Chen Wenqi was secretly grateful to Ma Wensheng in his heart, if it weren't for this arrangement, he would only be afraid that he would be more than lucky in front of Yuye Gate that day. And also...... Chen Wenqi suddenly remembered the note from the "Nanguan Inn" in Juyongguan, and asked He Tang and Qin Zong: "So, the note from the 'Nanguan Inn' that day was stuffed into the room by the two of you?"

He Tang and Qin Zong smiled silently, and only nodded slightly.

"How did you know that someone was going to sneak up on you?"

"It's a bit of a coincidence. Qin Zong glanced at He Tang and said, "On that day, the two of us were ordered by Lord Ma to disguise themselves as monks and follow General Chen out of the capital. It didn't take long to find a young man with a long sword at his waist, following General Chen from afar, you are fast and he is fast, you are slow and he is slow, and all his attention is on General Chen. When we saw that this person was suspicious, we took the opportunity to test the truth. Who knew that if you didn't look at it, it scared the two of us at first sight, it turned out that this person was none other than Yin Wei, the champion of the new science and technology. Luckily, we were disguised, otherwise he would have recognized us. From the Qionglin Huiwu banquet to the Tatar tribute incident, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew that there was a gap between the new Kewen and the martial champions, and we expected that Yin Wei would follow General Chen all the way to no good thing, so we didn't dare to be careless, and followed him far away to the 'Nanguan Inn'. In the lobby of the inn, we found another strange thing: a big man and a lean man sat on a table by the stairs, and whispered together, when suddenly the two of them began to fight, and moved upstairs as they fought. It's a pity that the kung fu of those two people is too poor, and we can see through it at a glance. So Brother He stayed where he was to monitor Yin Wei, and followed the two men upstairs. After a while, after the two were kicked out of the room by General Chen, they quickly walked downstairs and slipped into a large wing room in the deepest part of the first floor, and stayed for about a stick of incense, and then the two walked out of the inn with a strong man with a black scarf and a mask. After leaving the city, they came to the edge of a cliff, and the masked man slapped the two of them to death when they turned around, and at the same time said to himself: "Don't blame the two of you for being ruthless, if you leak this secret, will you have your life in the future?" Obviously, the masked man is killing people and killing people, and there is a huge conspiracy hidden behind it. So I continued to follow the masked man to the outside of the large chamber, and put my ear to the door to listen, when I heard another voice say, 'The two of them can only play the role of throwing stones to ask for directions, and we must do it ourselves to solve this man.' Then I heard the door open and close, and there was no movement inside. Brother He and I figured out that the masked man and his accomplices might want to plot against General Chen at night, so we specially left a warning for General Chen. ”

"Just now, the two of you said, 'On the Shuozhou Road, in the poisonous miasma forest', what's going on?" Gan Tian asked curiously.

"Well...... this" Qin Zong glanced at Ren Si, who was standing behind Chen Wenqi with a flushed face, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Chen Wenqi hurriedly changed the topic, pulled Ren Si and Shen Lingshan from behind, and said to Xia Yao: "By the way, I forgot to introduce to my seniors, this Senior Brother Ren Si is the senior of the 'Cold Northwest' Yang Xianyu's seniors, I heard that the imperial court was going to recover the three guards, Senior Brother Ren and Senior Brother Li Yuan insisted on coming to help." In the next time, I infiltrated Etuoke to investigate the enemy's situation, thanks to the help of Senior Brother Li Yuan. ”

"Two strong men came to help, which shows the desire of the people, and the old man has thanked him in advance. ”

Ren Si blushed, stepped forward to meet General Xia, and saluted the other generals one by one.

"This son's surname is Yang Shanling, and he is a righteous brother. Chen Wenqi introduced Shen Lingshan to Xia Yao again.

Xia Yao and the others only cared about talking to Chen Wenqi before, and did not pay attention to the two companions behind him. After Chen Wenqi's introduction, Xia Yao turned his gaze to Shen Lingshan, and was about to be polite to her, when he was suddenly stunned and said in a lost voice: "Are you ...... Snow ......?"

At the same time, Qin Sen and He Tang also let out a soft "huh".

"Who am I? Grandpa Xia, didn't my eldest brother tell you about the old man just now? My name is Yang Shanling. Shen Lingshan was very excited when she saw Xia Yao, in her subconscious, she had regarded Xia Yao as another grandfather (the first one was of course Han Shen), if they hadn't been talking about business, she would have rushed to Grandpa Xia and asked him about her father Shen Qing's information. Now listening to Xia Yao ask who she is (she mishears "snow" as "who"), this feeling and her daughter's temperament are naturally revealed, so she replied with a little coquettishness.

Yang Shanling...... Yang Shanling ......" Xia Yao rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Good, good, honorable guest, honored guest." After speaking, he looked at Shen Lingshan again.

Kazusuke Takeo Ganda is completely obsessed with these subtle details in the field. Seeing that everyone was silent, he continued the previous topic and asked: "Brother He, what is going on with 'Shuozhou Road, in the poisonous miasma forest', mysterious and mysterious?"

He Tang glared at Gan Tian with his eyes, then looked at Ren Si, and did not speak.

Ren Si smiled generously and said to He Tang: "General He, please speak, it's okay." ”

"Well, it's not really. On the official road leading to Shenchi in Shuozhou, in the territory of Mayi County, it is necessary to pass through a forest that hides countless snakes, every year from March to July is the period of copulation of snakes, the forest is full of poisonous miasma, if people hear it, the light ones are dizzy, the chest and abdomen are distended and painful, and the heavy ones are in a coma and their lives are not guaranteed. Therefore, the government has erected warning signs on the official roads on both sides of the woods, advising pedestrians not to enter the forest in the afternoon. The afternoon when General Chen passed through the woods was at the height of the miasma. Because they had overheard Yin Wei before, they had quietly assembled to trap General Chen into the forest. It was inconvenient for us to speak directly to General Chen, so we stopped General Chen on the official road on the grounds of drawing lots and divination, so as to delay the time and prevent General Chen from entering the forest. Behold...... Who knew that General Chen was a master of art and boldness, and he still entered the forest. ”

"Cough, General He said bluntly that it doesn't matter, but he can't hold his breath and can't stand it. Chen Wenqi said self-deprecatingly.

"Ah, that's dangerous. Gan Tian was worried about Chen Wenqi, and then asked, "What happened later?"

"Later...... Fortunately, the two of us were prepared and bought a pack of realgar powder in advance to take with us. After waiting for Yin Wei and the others to leave, the two of us rushed into the forest, sprinkled all the realgar powder on General Chen, who was already unconscious, and sprayed a sip of wine, and General Chen was ...... Nothing. ”

"This Yin Wei is really hateful...... Gan Tian said angrily, suddenly remembered something, and said: "This is not Yin Wei alone, is it? Otherwise, the two of you will not be able to deal with him alone? Why do you have to draw lots and play divination? What other accomplices does he have? How did he solve it later?"

Chen Wenqi saw that he was about to talk about Ren Si and them, and hurriedly said: "The matter has passed, don't worry about it anymore." Hey, I said, General He, what's the matter with the officers and soldiers on the country roads in Fushi? Why did you appear there in the middle of the night at the third watch?"

He Tang smiled and said, "Since we found out that the masked man had sneak attacked, we both stayed as close to General Chen as possible. After General Chen moved into the Fushi County Office, we rented a neighborhood house opposite the back window of General Chen's guest house. Just after that night, I heard someone banging on General Chen's window, and then General Chen hurriedly beat his horse out of the city. We didn't know what was going on, so we ran after General Chen, and although we had a little trouble when we left the city, we pulled down some distance from General Chen, but fortunately we didn't lose any trace of General Chen. By the time we arrived at the house, General Chen had already fought with the two thieves. The 'Lingnan Eight Murderers' martial arts are both high and ruthless, we are afraid that General Chen's two fists will be difficult to defeat the four hands, and the heart is willing to help and the martial arts are low, and I eagerly remembered that the road side was full of dry grass, so I asked the old brother of Qin Zong to light the fire from far and near, and the distance gradually extinguished and the near place gradually brightened, as if a large group of people and horses were advancing with torches. He shouted 'The officers and soldiers are coming' again, and sure enough, the two thieves fled. ”

"If it weren't for the two generals who set up a suspicious array to scare the two thieves away, I might not be able to see you today. Chen Wenqi said sincerely.

"Hmph, these two thieves are full of evil, and sooner or later they will be punished. The white-robed general Qin Sen said hatefully.

Xia Yao glanced at him and hurriedly said, "Generals, tonight the old man will pick up the wind and wash the dust for General Chen, and everyone will come to participate." ”

When Chen Wenqi heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Senior Xia must not." How difficult it is to defend the land and defend the border? With the war imminent, it is better to save a little money and food. Why don't you take this opportunity to tell you about the situation of Etok's inquiry?"

"No matter how hard it is, you still have to eat. General Chen has just arrived, so he will rest for the night after dinner, and then discuss the major matter of recovering the three cities tomorrow. Xia Yao still insisted.

Chen Wenqi thought that he couldn't insist too much on his own opinions, so he took a step back: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." But you must follow the rules set by the grandfather, otherwise, I will be sorry for the court and the people. ”

At this time, Qin Sen said with a smile: "It's still difficult to surpass Grandpa Tai's 'four dishes and one soup' standard in this place. ”

Xia Yao waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's all go and prepare." General Qin, please arrange General Chen's living room. ”

"Yes. All the people said yes in unison and dispersed. The hall was suspended, leaving Chen Wenqi and his party, as well as Xia Yao and Qin Sen.

"Senior Xia, my righteous brother wants to talk to his seniors alone, I don't know if it's okay?" Chen Wenqi walked up to Xia Yao and said softly.

"Your brother-in-law?" Xia Yao didn't seem surprised that he knew what personal matters "Yang Shanling" wanted to talk to him, so he said to Qin Sen: "General Qin, you go to the post house to arrange a few people's living ......"

Before Xia Yao finished speaking, Chen Wenqi hurriedly interrupted, "Senior Xia, Senior Brother Li Yuan and I agreed that we will arrive in Phoenix City tomorrow, he and Senior Brother Ren are not very used to living in the post house, so let them be." However, please ask Senior Xia to issue a number plate so that Senior Brother Li Yuan can enter the city tomorrow. ”

"This is easy, General Qin, you accompany General Chen to the post house, and by the way, give Ren Zhuangshi and them two number plates. ”

When Shen Lingshan heard this, she hurriedly and quietly pulled Chen Wenqi's sleeve. Chen Wenqi already understood what he meant, so he said to Xia Yao: "Let's ask General Qin to get the number plate and accompany my righteous brother below." ”

Xia Yao paused, then made a gesture of please, and said to Chen and Shen, "The two of you, please speak in the inner room." ”

After speaking, Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan were brought into a side room next to the hall.

The room is very shabbyly furnished, a table of eight immortals is placed against the wall, there is a half-new and half-old chair on the left and right, two benches are placed on each side of the lower one, and next to the bench on the right, there is a small door leading to another side room, which is obviously a place used for deliberations on weekdays.

Xia Yao walked to the left of the Eight Immortals Table and stood still, and invited Chen Wenqi to sit down on the chair opposite.

Because it was a private matter, how could Chen Wenqi dare to sit on an equal footing with Xia Yao? So he sat side by side with Shen Lingshan on the bench at the lower head.

After Xia Yao sat down, Chen Wenqi stood up and gave a salute, then pointed at Shen Lingshan and said, "Senior Xia, please forgive Wenqi for concealing it." My brother-in-law came to Ningxia disguised as a man and came incognito, just to meet Xia's seniors. ”

Xia Yao is old and well-informed, he has already seen that Shen Lingshan is a woman dressed as a man, and he is not surprised to hear Chen Wenqi say it. He didn't care about talking to Chen Wenqi, looked at Shen Lingshan and asked, "Are you a girl, just to see me, why are you what?"

Looking at Xia Yao, Shen Lingshan was extremely excited, she stood up and walked to Xia Yao, loosened the black hair wrapped around her head, and replied with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa Xia, my surname is Shen, my name is Lingshan, my mother asked me to come to you and ask if my father is here." After speaking, I couldn't cry.

"Looking for your father?" Xia Yao was surprised and asked subconsciously.

Shen Lingshan didn't notice Xia Yao's expression, nodded and replied, "Well, my father's name is Shen Qing." Grandpa Xia, is he here with you?"

When Xia Yao heard this, he was secretly surprised: "Shen Qing...... He ......" Xia Yao saw Shen Lingshan's eyes full of expectation, and replied, "You said your name is Shen Lingshan?"

"Hmm. ”

"...... your mother?"

"Oh, my mother's name is Han Mei. Shen Lingshan knew what Xia Yao meant, and hurriedly replied.

"Where do you two live?"

"Next to Guangfu Cang, Wuchang Mansion. ”

"Just you two live together?"

"Hmm. Shen Lingshan nodded, seeing that Xia Yao seemed to be unconvinced, and added: "Oh, I also have an uncle named Han Ming, who is currently the prefect of Wuchang, and he often goes home." ”

"Besides, there is no one else?" Xia Yao's eyes were a little expectant.

Shen Lingshan shook her head: "No." ”

Xia Yao was slightly disappointed, and asked instead, "You came to find your father, do you remember your father's appearance?"

Shen Lingshan shook her head: "I don't know, I've never seen my father." ”

"Then why are you looking for your father? By the way, your mother should give you a token, right?"

Shen Lingshan shook her head again, and said in her heart, if I hadn't run out secretly, my mother wouldn't have let me come.

"I don't know my father's appearance, and I don't have any tokens, even if your father stands in front of you, you can't recognize each other. Xia Yao said with a pun.

"Grandpa Xia, don't you know my father? You must know where my father is, don't you?" Grandpa Xia, can you take me to see my father?" Shen Lingshan pinned all his hopes on Xia Yao at this time, and was very afraid that he shook his head and said that he didn't know.

"Child, as long as your father is here in Ningxia, grandpa will definitely help you find him. It's getting late today, and grandpa will have a banquet to wash the dust for you later, so go back and rest for a while. Xia Yao comforted Shen Lingshan with gentle words, his words were ambiguous.

Chen Wenqi, who had been sitting on the side for a long time, stood up at this time, walked to Shen Lingshan's side, and said, "Miss Shen, let's go down first, Senior Xia still has a lot of things to do, and this matter has to be done slowly." With that, he said goodbye to Xia Yao, pulled Shen Lingshan and walked out.

Shen Lingshan seemed reluctant to leave, and was dragged out of the General Military Mansion by Chen Wenqi.

"Big brother, even Grandpa Xia doesn't know about my father, what can I do?" Shen Lingshan asked Chen Wenqi with a lingering and sympathetic look. For so many years, although there was no news from her father, she and her mother and uncle always believed that her father was in Ningxia and by Xia Yao's side, but she had no chance to find her father because she couldn't enter Phoenix. Now even Xia Yao doesn't know where his father is, even if his father is still alive, where can he look for it in the vast sea of people? Shen Lingshan couldn't help but be extremely disappointed when she thought of this, hiding her face and crying.

Chen Wenqi saw that she was crying pear blossoms with rain, and knew that she was in a mess, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Xian Bingxue is smart, why can't you understand Senior Xia's words? ”

When Shen Lingshan heard Chen Wenqi's words, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Chen Wenqi's arm and asked, "My father is really here with Grandpa Xia?"

"How dare Brother Fool joke about such a big matter? Think about it, what is the relationship between Senior Xia and your grandfather? If you really don't know the news of Ling Zun, how can he still be at ease and look like he doesn't care about himself? Besides, from the beginning to the end, did he say something like 'I don't know where your father is'? No? Moreover, if he didn't know your father's information, how could he ask you where to see the token?"

Shen Lingshan thought seriously for a while, her face slowly improved, and then she burst into tears and smiled, and said happily: "Sure enough, it seems that my father is by Grandpa Xia's side." However, why didn't Grandpa Xia say it?

Chen Wenqi shook his head and said: "Senior Xia is old, and he has his own reasons for doing this. Besides, you can't take out any tokens, how can he dare to easily believe your identity? Well, since you know that your father is here, and your father and daughter will recognize each other soon, you can relax. ”

Xia Yao did know where Shen Qingren was. After Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan left, Xia Yao said to the small door, "Come out." ”

Hearing only a "squeak", the small door opened, and the white-robed general Qin Sen walked out.

"Did you hear it all?"

"I hear you. However, how could this be?" Qin Sen seemed a little excited.

"Yes, the old man thought it was ......" Xia Yao said half a sentence leisurely, and then changed his words and asked, "What do you think?"

"Uncle Xia, I'm ......" Qin Sen wanted to speak and stopped.

"Chen Wenqi is Liu Jian's brother Liu's protégé, it is said that his knowledge and character will not be very bad, I met him when I went to Huguang for a private visit last year, and my impression of him is also good. I heard that the 'Eight Murderers of Lingnan' and Liang Fang are brothers of the same sect, and Chen Wenqi has opposed the 'Eight Murderers of Lingnan' several times on his way to Ningxia. ”

"But there are a lot of doubts in this. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"When the little nephew and the younger sister were separated, there was only the little child Shen Ji. Isn't it strange that a daughter has appeared out of thin air now?"

Dare to love this person is Shen Qing, who is thinking about Han Mei's mother and daughter day and night, and haunting in her dreams!

"Could it be that Mei'er is already happy at that time?" Xia Yao reminded.

"This ......" Qin Sen—now it's time to change his name to Shen Qing—thought for a moment, and said in an ominous voice, "It's not impossible......"

He remembered the day Shen Ji was the first birthday, saw off the guests, and the couple returned to their room, teasing their babbling son, and the room was full of laughter.

"Senior brother, you see, Ji'er looks like you, you must be as chic and handsome as you grow up. Han Mei said happily.

"No, if we have another daughter who is as dignified and beautiful as you, junior sister, we will have both children and daughters. ”

"Beautiful you. Han Mei sneered and said, "One Ji'er will make me tired enough, if there are two, wouldn't I be anxious?"

Shen Qing hurriedly said: "If that's the case, it's better not to do it, it's still the senior sister's body that matters." ”

Han Mei suddenly blushed and said in a low voice: "But it's strange to say, Ji'er is one year old, so ...... Good things haven't come yet, these days are always nauseous and nausea, like the year before last, I don't know if it's 'there' again. ”

When Shen Qing heard this, he happily grabbed Han Mei's hand and asked, "Really?"

Han Mei shook her head and nodded, and said, "I don't know if it's true or not, I'll ask my mother tomorrow." ”

But the next day, there were vaguely uninvited guests in the Han Mansion, which made the whole mansion panic, how could they take care of this. After that, his father-in-law was hunted down, and his wife was separated......

"Even if this 'Shen Lingshan' is really your daughter, Mei'er asked her to come to you, she has to bring something like a token, right?"

Xia Yao's words brought Shen Qing's thoughts back to reality, and he said with a wry smile: "Yes, if the junior sister asked her to come to find her father, she would have to explain some things." But this kid doesn't know anything, which can't help but make people suspicious. ”

Xia Yao's mood was a little heavy. After coming to Ningxia, Shen Qing recounted in detail what happened on the banks of the Ba River. If Shen Lingshan is indeed the daughter of Shen Qing and Han Mei, then Xue'er and his wife must be more auspicious. Therefore, in his subconscious, he hoped that Shen Lingshan was coming from an impostor. With this in mind, he said:

"I heard that after Chen Wenqi was released from prison, he did not return to his hometown to visit relatives, but came directly to Ningxia, He Tang and Qin Zong followed all the way, and Shen Lingshan did not appear. Why are the two of them together in this Phoenix City?"

Shen Qing guessed: "Back then, Brother Liang Fang only knew that his little nephew had a child, and they didn't know whether it was a man or a woman. Could it be that they are secretly plotting to deceive our trust in the name of Chen Wenqi, and then find out the whereabouts of the little nephew and his wife?"

Xia Yao nodded slowly: "People's hearts are sinister, it's hard to say. ”

"Also, if this girl is really the child of the little nephew, she should know that Xue Mei and Zhao Xin's junior brother, why didn't they mention it?" Shen Qing continued to analyze.

"Well, it's a little weird. And this kid is neither like Mei'er nor like a virtuous nephew, but ......" Xia Yao seemed to stop talking.

Shen Qing didn't pay attention to Xia Yao's expression, and said approvingly: "As soon as we met, the little nephew also felt the same way. Regardless of whether this Shen Lingshan is true or not, this clue cannot be easily lost. For more than ten years, the little nephew has searched every corner of Huangzhou Mansion, and Uncle Xia has visited many times despite his age, but he has returned in vain. I thought that the junior sister was no longer alive, but if this child was really the daughter of the little nephew, it would prove that they were still alive. This time, if the little nephew is lucky enough not to die, he will definitely go back and find out about this matter. ”

"Well, you arranged for someone to take care of her, is it true or not, and when you recover the three cities, you will be allowed to take a half-year vacation, and go back to find out clearly. Xia Yao nodded in agreement.
