Qi Tian rode Second Brother Mo's mount and galloped home, his mother and a girl in green were waiting at the door. The girl was in her twenties, with delicate facial features and a dusty face, and rushed forward and said, "It's Qi Gongzi who came?"

Seeing her face, Qi Tian nodded and said, "Under Qi Tian." Girl, who are you?" Li Fengxia said: "This Wang Yu girl, from Langya Shooting Sun Villa, said that she is looking for you with urgent news about the girl in Allure. ”

Wang Yu let out a long breath, bowed, and said, "Wang Yu has seen the son." He took out a letterhead from his arms, handed it to Qi Tian, and said, "This is a letter from the young lady to the son." ”

Qi Tian hurriedly opened it, only to see that it was written slightly: "If you don't have a conscience, if you don't come again, I will get married." Although he had never seen Allure's handwriting, he could almost confirm his suspicion by dictating the tone of the letter.

Wang Yu said on the side: "After the son was separated from my young lady in Xuancheng, the young lady went around looking for someone to inquire about the footprints of the young lady......"

Qi Tian thought that at that time, he had been injured by black and white impermanence, and was taken to seek medical treatment outside the Saiwai, and he wandered around the Central Plains, so he couldn't inquire about himself, so he only heard Wang Yudao: "Later, when I was in Zhongzhou, Miss was found by someone sent by the owner of the village and brought back to Langya. ”

Qi Tian secretly thought that with the temperament of Alluring City, what she didn't want to do, it was reluctant for anyone, the so-called brought back, for fear of being caught by mistake, forcibly brought back, only to hear Wang Yu continue: "After Miss went home, I mentioned your matter to the owner, and the owner of the village was furious, and imprisoned Miss and did not allow anyone to approach." ”

Qi Tian said: "There is such a father in the world. Wang Yuxun said: "Miss's temper, that is, eating soft or not hard, this level is two years." ”

Although Li Fengxia was inconvenient to comment on the behavior of her future in-laws, she actually locked up her daughter-in-law for two years, and couldn't help but say angrily: "The child violates the wishes of his parents, and the beating is understandable, but he can confine his daughter for two years, which is too much." ”

Qi Tian was angry and pitiful, thinking how lonely and unbearable should he be during the two years of solitary confinement? Wang Yu said: "Seeing that the young lady refused to change her mind, the owner of the village began to supply a limited amount of food and drink. ”

Qi Tian hurriedly said: "How much is that?" Wang Yu shook his head sadly: "It doesn't matter how much, because Miss didn't eat at all." ”

Li Fengxia listened to Wang Yu's narration, and her good impression of this daughter-in-law who she had never met suddenly doubled, just because people would rather die for her son, it would be better than everything, she was distressed, and said again and again: "How can this be reasonable, there is such a ruthless father in the world." ”

Wang Yu said: "Although the owner of the village is ruthless, he is the father of the young lady after all, and seeing that the young lady would rather die than cut off contact with the young lady of Qi, he finally compromised. ”

Qi Tian was moved and pitied, and when he heard this, his heart was slightly implemented, and he saw Wang Yu say again: "But he put forward a condition." He quickly asked, "What are the conditions?"

Wang Yu said: "The condition of the owner of the village is to publish a hero post, and hold a martial arts competition to recruit relatives in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, saying that if Qi Gongzi has a young lady in his heart, he will go when he hears the news, if Qi Gongzi does not arrive that day, it means that there is no young lady in his heart, and then he will have to marry the winner of the competition according to the agreement." After the young lady was released, I was afraid that the owner of the village would deliberately not send a post to Qi Gongzi, or that Qi Gongzi was in the rivers and lakes and did not receive the news, so he sent me to the capital overnight to report the news. When Xiaoyu was leaving, Miss confessed that if Gongzi Qi was not in the capital, let me tell the people of the Wangfu that Miss was born as a person of Gongzi Qi, and died as a ghost of Gongzi Qi, so that Gongzi Qi remembered the kindness of the living, and every Qingming in the future, don't forget to go to the cold pool behind Xuancheng's 'Luohua Villa' to visit the spirits of her and her master. ”

Wang Yu sighed and said: "Fortunately, the young lady happened to return to Beijing, otherwise on that day, the young lady would only be afraid of ......" When she said "only afraid", assuming that the young prince was not in the capital, and he didn't hear the news, according to the young lady's temperament, most of them would not commit themselves to others and live in the world. She was afraid in her heart, and with a wow, she cried bitterly.

Li Fengxia hugged Wang Yu and said: "The girl doesn't cry, this is not pity, just let Tian'er return to Beijing, I received the news, and now it is ...... from the Mid-Autumn Festival" She suddenly thought that today is August 13, less than two days away from the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chang'an to Langya, more than 2,000 miles, how to get there in two days?

Qi Tian saw that his mother's face was pale and cold sweat was dripping, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Li Fengxia hurriedly said: "Mother is fine, today is August 13." ”

Qi Tiansheng and Wang Yu said, their faces were like earth, and they hurriedly said: "Mother, the child will set off here." Wang Yu hurriedly said: "Xiaoyu is on this trip, riding the 'sudden thunder' that the young lady brought back to the villa, the horse is extremely fast, and it is tied to the courtyard, and the son rides forward, and it will definitely come in time." ”

Qi Tian was anxious, said hello, and rushed into the courtyard, under the locust tree on the east wall, there was a barge horse. The barge horse seemed to recognize him, and without waiting for Qi Tian to get close, he took two steps back, kicked forward, broke free from the rope, and ran in front of Qi Tian, rubbing his arm with his neck with his side head, jumping with his hind hooves, and hissing in his mouth, which seemed to be extremely happy.

Qi Tian touched the horse's mane and said, "Ma'er, you still recognize me." "The horse jumped faster and neighed more quickly. Qi Tianfei got on his horse and said, "The girl in Allure is in trouble, we have to hurry back to the place where you came from this trip to rescue." The horse, as if he understood him, spread his hooves and ran out.

Seeing this, Li Fengxia hurriedly shouted: "Tian'er, you must bring your mother's good daughter-in-law back to Beijing." The horse was galloping at great speed, and before she could finish her sentence, she had already run away without a trace.

It is said that the old horse knows the way, "sudden refutation of thunder" is rare in the world, and it is even more supernatural, without Qi Tian's whip, carrying him along the avenue, galloping and leaping all the way, it is like walking on the ground. After a while, when they arrived at Chunming Gate, the guards didn't have time to check, even if they shouted, they didn't have time to send out, and they had already gone out of the city

The barge horse went out of the capital, galloped faster, and in the evening, it had arrived at Tongguan. As a barrier to the east of the capital, Tongguan has complete functions. Qi Tian left in a hurry, penniless, and only got the post station to sharpen. He entered the palace this time, carrying a token with him, Liang Jiang came out, Yi Shi hurriedly reported, Yi Cheng came out in a hurry, and greeted him respectfully.

After a while, Qin Fu, the general of the town army, also rushed over. Qin Wei, as a second-rank military general, holds the power of the army, even if the prince is here, whether he goes out to greet him depends on his mood, let alone a waiting master, let him come to visit.

Qi Tian also knew that his identity was not enough, and he came with the kindness of the acting king. His grandfather commanded the world's soldiers and horses during his lifetime, and more than half of the military generals in the Tang Dynasty today are either from his old department and have been promoted, or they are from the old department and have a lot of connections.

Qi Tian didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly got up, bowed down and said: "Qi Tian has an urgent matter to go to Langya, and he didn't go to the General's Mansion to visit General Qin, he was already rude, and General Lao dared to come in person!"

Qin Wei held his hand, looked very affectionate, and said with a smile: "Knowing that Xiao Hou Ye came to Tongguan, if Qin Nuo pretends not to know with a stinky shelf, let Peng Shuai know, he will have to be scolded." ”

Yi Cheng bowed down and said, "General Qin is here, and the next official will let the kitchen add a few dishes." Qin Wei waved his hand and said, "Wait for a wine cup, I'll just drink a few glasses with Xiao Houye." ”

Yi Cheng is going to go down to arrange a dinner. Qi Tian stopped and said, "I still have to hurry, Lord Yicheng can let people fry a few dishes casually." In addition, my mount ......" Yi Cheng smiled: "Don't worry, the lower official will send someone to prepare good forage." ”

Qi Tian said: "Ben Hou that mount, the food is not particular, but you have to have a meal, annoyance to Lord Yicheng, give it a few catties of drink, this Hou is in a hurry, thanks to its vigorous spirit." ”

Yi Cheng was secretly strange, but he didn't dare to ask, people asked him to do this, not to mention feeding wine, but to breastfeed, so he had to be satisfied. He was afraid that he would feed less wine, and Hou Ye would be dissatisfied, and he would get drunk when he fed too much, which made Hou Ye unhappy, so he said steadily: "Xia Guan will do it immediately, but I don't know how much it is, please ask Hou Ye to make it clear?"

Qi Tian hesitated: "This is also the first time to ride a trip, and Lord Yicheng just needs to look at it and let it be satisfied." The post man retired.

Qin Wei said: "Xiao Hou Ye finally came to Tongguan, and he had to live for two days, so that Qin Wei could fulfill the friendship of the landlord." Qi Tiandao: "There are still important things to do next, and if you are free another day, you will definitely disturb the general." ”

It is inconvenient for Qin to say more. After a while, the wine and food came up, and accompanied Qi Tian to drink and chat. Qi Tian finished dinner, looked embarrassed, and said: "I left Beijing in a hurry, I didn't carry a coil, and I asked the general to borrow one or two." ”

When he was in Beijing, he was clothed and fed, and after stepping into the rivers and lakes, he was often short of money, and he didn't pay so much attention to eating and drinking. This trip to Langya is just two days, and it is easy to solve it without money, but Shigong's barge horse, non-wine and non-drinking, fortresses like Tongguan, and post stations are sharp, but in a small place, the court did not set up a post.

Qi Tian has to rely on the strength of the horse's feet, if it is not allowed to eat and drink well, and the journey is delayed on the way, it is not a good thing, although it is embarrassing to borrow money from others, compared to the life of the city, it is a trivial matter.

Qin Wei took out all the broken silver on his body, about twenty taels, and said, "If the waiting master is not enough, I will go back to the house to get it." Yi Cheng also said: "There is also a little surplus silver in the lower official room, wait for the master." ”

Qi Tian said: "Thank you General and Lord Yicheng, enough is enough, Qi Tian has something to do, so I will leave for the time being." Qin Nuo said: "Hou Ye has something, Qin Nuo is inconvenient to stay longer, but he is in a hurry at night, and there are many inconveniences." ”

Yi Cheng followed: "What General Qin said is reasonable, it is better to rest for one night, wait for dawn before leaving, no matter how big the matter is, it will not be delayed for one night." ”

Qi Tian said: "Thank you two for your kindness, the matter is really urgent." Qin Wei said: "Then I wish Hou Ye a smooth journey, but in the land of Qilu, since ancient times, the sound of horses has been prosperous, and Hou Ye has to be more careful." ”

Qi Tian nodded and said, "I'll let you know." He arched his hand, and did not wait for the two of them to stay, but went out of the door and rode out of the gate on a barge horse.
