Qing Xiaonian is so brilliant and enlightened, Sui Laoluan, as an introducer and his friend, feels that his face is also very bright. I didn't feel that I glanced at the prince who was still in shock, and said proudly: "How about the prince, the person I highly recommend should not disappoint you." ”

The prince really didn't expect that he would mention a pair of "Heavenly King Sending His Son" that he liked very much but did not collect, and there would be such a big flaw, although the body that was exposed by Qing Xiaonian was incomplete, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, because he originally invited Qing Xiaonian to be for his daughter's disappearance, and now he was willing to Qing Xiaonian's ability, so he no longer had any concealment and scruples, and said the true purpose of doing everything possible to "please" Qing Xiaonian.

"Qing Shaoxia Haihan, inviting you to the palace today is indeed a very important matter, this matter is of great significance, and it is related to the direction of our relations with Bian Liao in the future......

However, Qing Xiaonian didn't seem to appreciate it and directly interrupted the prince's words, and didn't care about the important things that the prince said, the previous deliberate arrangement had made him disgusted, but it was better to be alone: "Prince, you don't need to say much, today's visit can be regarded as a lesson in the prince's hospitality, what the prince said I am afraid that I can't do anything to celebrate Xiaonian, and I ask the prince to find another job." ”

The prince didn't expect the other party to refuse so quickly, and hurriedly pushed thousands of gold and silver rewards as bargaining chips: "If Qing Shaoxia is willing to contribute to this king, the treasures in the palace are at your disposal, and this king will give them all." ”

After hearing this, the bystanders were all shocked, the royal family background is rich and extraordinary, and one of the prince's usual preferences is to collect and play with all kinds of treasures, and it is priceless to take it out, let Qing Xiaonian choose it at will, it is really a bloody investment.

Sun Haifeng's jealousy also followed.

But only Qing Xiaonian was indifferent, and when he heard that the prince was going to give a reward for a thousand gold treasures, he was not shocked, he didn't even raise his eyelids, he said goodbye, threw his sleeves and fluttered out of the door, seeing that he was resolute, the prince wanted to stop it, but he couldn't do anything, and he knew that he was trying to lay out the temptation first, and he looked at Sui Lao helplessly and eagerly.

Sui Lao gestured, but he understood Qing Xiaonian's habits, not to mention thousands of gold and silver, that is, this jade seal of the great dynasty was placed in front of him and made him the emperor, he didn't blink an eye, what he didn't want to do must be that no one could coerce him, seeing that Qing Xiaonian was about to walk out of the mansion, he gritted his teeth and felt as if he had made some important decision, and shouted: "Qing Xiaonian, haven't you always wanted to know what the secret recipe of my golden leaf jade dumpling is?"

Qing Xiaonian, who is obsessed with eating, drinking and having fun, suddenly froze after hearing the sound, to be honest, he is a little interested in the strange zongzi of Xiangmanlou, as an absolute diner, once people's curiosity comes up, they can't stop it, but they know that this is the unique secret recipe of Sui Lao Pick has not been asked before, so that Sui Lao Pick can take the initiative to say that the reason is also a little tempting for Qing Xiao Nian.

Seeing that Qing Xiaonian was moved, he hurriedly increased his stakes: "In the future, Brother Qing will not be constrained by the rules and regulations when he comes to Xiangmanlou, and his daughter will drink unlimited wine for forty years and fifty years! ”

Everyone felt a little ridiculous when they heard it, no matter how good your fragrant gold leaf jade dumplings and osmanthus wine are, it can be compared to thousands of gold and silver, strangers are ignorant, but this Qing Xiaonian is just a mouthful.

Thousands of dollars are nothing in his eyes, but what he cares about is something that is not enough in the eyes of others.

Qing Xiaonian, who had his back to everyone, smiled slyly and said quietly: "Sui Lao is serious about this. ”

Sui Lao stomped his feet and replied, "Seriously!

Everyone sat calmly in the lobby of the palace again, Qing Xiaonian sat on the upper seat next to the prince, and Sui Laoli couldn't calm down for a long time, thinking about whether Qing Xiaonian promised so quickly was he too promised, and it would be good to know that it would be good to say less.

"It's really a little abrupt, Qing Shaoxia also invited Haihan, this king also made this decision out of helplessness, after all, the stakes are very high, I have to be cautious. ”

The prince took a sip of tea and said heavily.

Qing Xiaonian had already heard some clues, and when he said that the relationship between the two countries was definitely not a trivial matter, but later he reacted like this, but the golden steps given by the prince were not in his heart, because Qing Xiaonian was not a person who could be moved by thousands of gold taels, but Sui Lao did completely follow the way of Qing Xiaonian.

"Lord Wang, please say it directly, since Sui Lao is not an old picker, then I will definitely help you when I celebrate the New Year. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Sui Lao with a playful look in his eyes, as if he was saying: "I was clever enough to trick me into coming to the palace, even if it has nothing to do with you, I will drink your blood and eat your flesh." ”

"Okay, then I'll call a spade a spade. After speaking, the prince glanced at the servant, and after everyone consciously withdrew from the house, the prince said with a heavy face: "The little girl Xiuyi is missing!"

"What? Princess Xiuyi is missing?!" Chen Bengu let out an exclamation.

Qing Xiaonian was also a little surprised after hearing this, Princess Xiuyi was scheduled to go out of the Dragon Boat Festival next month to marry Da Liao, and the news of her disappearance was indeed an extremely strange thing.

"Yes, it's been seven days since the little girl disappeared. It may be that his heart is like ashes, and the prince is surprisingly calm, Qing Xiaonian looked at the prince's haggard face intentionally or unintentionally, and first dispelled the prince's concern that he was reluctant to let his daughter out of the plug and direct and act by herself.

Out of curiosity, Qing Xiaonian still said more.

"The prince is willing to let Princess Xiuyi marry Bian Liao far away, is it possible that Princess Xiuyi hid by herself. ”

"Impossible, Xiuyi has met with Yelu Xiuqi, the third prince of Bian Liao, I asked the little girl's wishes, she likes this third prince of Liao very much, and it is impossible for Xiuyi to escape from marriage. ”

"Have you received any unknown letters in the palace? Qing Xiaonian's mind raced to think about everything that could happen.

"Yes, three days after the disappearance of the little girl, the servant found it on the slumped stone lion outside the gate" The prince took out an ordinary envelope, Qing Xiaonian took it and looked at it, there was nothing famous on it, and after opening it, there was a piece of rice paper inside, and only one word was written on it.

Gold!

Sun Haifeng stepped forward to take a look, and said categorically: "This is the robber who wants to tell us to ransom people with money!"

Qing Xiaonian nodded and did not deny it, for now, this golden word does have such a meaning, and the crooked words on it are likely that the kidnappers deliberately concealed their handwriting or the robbers may not know the big characters at all, and will only write words such as 'gold' with simple strokes and related to money.

"Just this letter?" asked Qing Xiaonian.

The prince replied, "I have only received this one letter so far. ”

Chen Bengu was a little skeptical: "Since it is a request for property, then at least there should be information such as the location of the transaction, why is there just a golden word?"

Sun Haifeng said: "Maybe this is the kidnappers deliberately delaying and consuming our patience. ”

Qing Xiaonian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"According to Qing Shaoxia's intentions, what does this letter mean?"

Qing Xiaonian shook his head after hearing this, and said, "At present, the possibility of robbers cannot be ruled out, so we can only wait now." ”

The prince said, "Wait?"

Qing Xiaonian said: "That's right, if it is a robber Suo Cai, he will definitely come to Feixin, and please rest assured that since he is a robber, at least the princess will definitely not be in danger of life before she gets the silver taels." ”

After hearing this, the prince sighed heavily, even though his bloodshot eyes were already piercing, the anxiety in his heart had already occupied his whole body.

Sun Haifeng said: "Lord Wang, if it doesn't work, I'll take someone to search and inquire from house to house, and there will be the whereabouts of Princess Xiuyi." ”

"Nonsense! This matter must not be spread out, if you swagger and take people out to search, wouldn't that mean to tell others that the princess who was going to marry Da Liao has been robbed? How do you tell me to explain to the emperor? How can I explain to Da Liao? Da Liao will even raise troops to attack on the grounds that we are anti-marriage, and it will be the dawn people of the world who will suffer at that time!" Sun Haifeng finally received a scolding, so he had to nod his head and not see his joy or anger.

The prince sighed again and said in a deep voice: "Qing Shaoxia, it is up to you to find the whereabouts of my daughter Princess Xiuyi, and our deadline is running out." ”

Qing Xiaonian nodded slightly, and the prince's words just now suddenly made him have a conjecture in his heart, but it was only a conjecture.
