The next day, the two went to the Muslim area, asked people, and visited the mosque, but they found nothing, so they had to return.

In the next few days, every day Wan'er and Zilong went to the Hui area to visit, there was no news, Zilong was a little discouraged, the two sat in the roadside teahouse to rest, Wan'er persuaded him: "Don't be disappointed, you used to look for it alone, of course it was not easy to find, and now my father sent someone to help you find it, and you will definitely find it." ”

Zilong smiled bitterly: "Well, I know. In fact, King An agreed to find his mother's whereabouts, he was very grateful, he knew King An's power in Ningxia, but there was no news at all, Zilong couldn't help but have some questions in his heart. But Wan'er treats herself sincerely, he knows.

Wan'er suddenly said: "I have a way, I don't know if it will work?"

"What's the solution?"

"The No. 1 gang of the Hui people is the Fengyue Gang. Wan'er pondered: "They know everything about the Hui people, why don't we go to the Ma gang leader of the Fengyue Gang for help, maybe she will know the whereabouts of your mother!"

"Gang leader?"

"That's right!" Wan'er said: "It's Miao Ling's mother, and it's the Fengyue Gang that she single-handedly founded." The Fengyue Gang has done a lot of good things for the Hui people, I heard that the owner of the horse gang is very good, and he ...... on weekdays."

"Wan'er, don't say it!" Zilong said fiercely: "I won't ask Miao Ling for help! That thief almost lost my life, and insulted me in every way, I won't ask her for help." ”

Wan'er heard Zilong talk about his and Miao Ling's festivals, so she said: "I didn't say that I wanted you to ask Miao Ling, I'm talking about the horse gang leader, you haven't seen her, are you sure she is not a good person?"

"I'm not saying that she is not a good person, no matter how good she is, she is also Miao Ling's mother. As soon as I thought of that Miao Ling, I was so angry that the roots of my teeth itched!" Zilong said angrily.

"Hey!" Wan'er sighed deliberately: "Do big things and don't be informal, you always remember the previous festivals, and now the two of us are bumping around like headless flies, when will we find your mother?"

Zilong said: "I know that you have to be informal, but people always have to have backbone, the young gang leader of the Fengyue Gang treated me like that, how can I go and beg them again, don't talk about this matter anymore." ”

"Okay, okay," Wan'er said, "If you don't say it, you won't say it, then, where can we find it?"

Zilong didn't have an idea for a while, and felt that it was a bit too much for him to talk to Wan'er like that just now, but seeing that Wan'er didn't seem to care, he also knew that Wan'er regarded him as a friend, but Zilong still felt a little guilty in his heart, Wan'er was the prince's daughter, so he didn't complain as he ran around, and he still talked like that, thinking of this, Zilong muttered: "Wan'er, I'm sorry, I ...... talking just now"

"It's okay," Wan'er said hurriedly: "I know you're in a hurry, and I also know that you don't want to ask others, so let's go find my father and ask him to send more people to investigate." ”

Zilong's heart was warm, nodded, and couldn't help but reach out and grab Wan'er's hand and squeeze it lightly, then stood up and turned to walk.

Wan'er froze suddenly, her heart thumped, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't move her hand anymore.

Zilong looked back and saw that Wan'er was still sitting in a daze, so he couldn't help but wonder and shouted, "Wan'er, what's wrong?

When Wan'er heard Zilong calling herself, she hurriedly stood up and ran, but she didn't dare to look at Zilong's eyes again.

A few days later, King An was reading a book in his study. Sun Jingwen came in and said, "Lord Wang, the mayor of the Hui people is here. ”

King An frowned and said, "What is he doing here? Didn't we send them food a while ago, wouldn't it be another disaster?"

"No," Sun Jingwen said, "I arranged for them to have tea in the living room." Mayor Ma said that he wanted to thank the prince for taking care of the Hui people in the past few years, and he also brought the leader of the Fengyue Gang and the young leader of the Gang. ”

"Oh?" Wang An then smiled: "It seems that the Fengyue Gang is going to pick up a big bargain today." ”

"What do you mean?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Mayor Ma is over seventy years old, and when he came to my house in person today, he must have asked me to pass on the position of mayor to the Ma gang leader of the Fengyue Gang. ”

"Isn't there already a candidate for the prince?"

"No, no," King An waved his hand and said: "It is also suitable for Ma Fengyue, the leader of this horse gang, to be the mayor of the Hui people, although the relationship between the Fengyue Gang and my An Wangfu is not very close, but they are also sincerely working for the Hui people, as long as this is the case, then everyone should be the same, we will push the boat with the water, and we will have a good relationship with the Fengyue Gang in the future!"

"The prince is high. ”

In the living room, the elderly Mayor Ma and the leader of the Fengyue Gang, Ma Fengyue, and Miao Ling were respectfully sitting on the guest seat drinking tea.

Ma Fengyue is in her forties, but she looks only in her thirties, with a kind face, soft eyes, and clothes with Muslim characteristics, looking dignified and calm.

Miao Ling also knew that she was here to do serious business today, so she put away her child's temper and pretended to be a young lady.

When they heard King An walking in from the back hall, they all stood up and said, "Meet the prince!"

King An hurriedly walked a few steps to support Mayor Ma, and said, "Oh, old mayor, if there is anything you can send someone to tell this king, why do you have to come in person? You said that you are so old, sit down quickly." Sit down, Horse Gang Master. ”

The three of them hurriedly thanked each other and sat down.

King An smiled: "Mayor Ma, how are you doing lately?"

Mayor Ma said respectfully: "Thank you for the prince's concern, the old slave's health is okay, but as he gets older, his memory is getting worse and worse, and his hands and feet are not as dexterous as before." In the past few years, the prince has taken care of our Hui people, and I, the mayor of the town, can do it!"

King An smiled: "Hehe, the old mayor should take good care of his body." ”

Mayor Ma said: "Lord Wang, we have two things to do this time, and we want to ask the Lord for instructions. ”

King An nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"In the past 19 years, the prince has been diligent in government and loves the people, treats the people like children, and his achievements are obvious to all, especially for our Hui people, we have never met such a good prince in a hundred years, and have not lived such a peaceful life. The old mayor stood up and said: "The Hui people are very grateful for Wang Ye's kindness, beyond words, we want to choose an auspicious day to pray for Wang Ye in the Great Mosque, and pray that Allah will bless Wang Ye with a long life, wealth and peace." ”

"Oh, old mayor," said King An, frowning, "Is this appropriate?" King An knows that when praying for a person in the mosque, that person must have done something or contributed to the satisfaction of the entire Hui people, and is often the leader of the Hui people. The prayer for the mosque is very solemn, the scene is huge, and it has not been done for a Han person until now.

"This is very suitable," Ma Fengyue said: "This is also a piece of the heart of our Hui people, please don't shirk it." ”

King An said: "This king is ashamed, if he says that he has done something for the people, it is also the king's duty. If you want the Hui people to pray for the blessing of this king, you really don't dare to do it!"

The old mayor bowed down and said, "Please don't shirk the prince!"

Ma Fengyue also said: "This is what our Hui people unanimously agree, and the prince deserves it!"

King An saw that the old mayor and the horse gang leader were looking at him sincerely, and also stood up, "Then, this king will be ashamed!"

The three of them were very happy, and after sitting down, the old mayor said: "The second thing is that the old slave is already old and tired, and he wants to tell the old man, so he recommends the master of the horse gang to the prince to serve as the mayor of the town, and I hope the prince can approve it." ”

King An stroked his palms and smiled: "The old mayor and this king want to go together, the master of the horse gang has a high prestige among the Hui people, and he is the best candidate to be the new mayor!"

Ma Fengyue said: "The prince praises falsely, Fengyue can't afford it!"

The old mayor smiled, "Don't be modest, Gang Master. He turned to King An and said: "Lord Wang, although the Fengyue Gang has not been established for a long time, it is very prestigious in Huijiang, and they have done a lot of things that are beneficial to the Hui people, such as taking in Hui orphans, relieving disaster victims, maintaining peace in Hui areas, exterminating mountain bandits, etc., Ma Gang Master deserves to be the mayor of the town." ”

"Well," King An said, "I have often heard of many benevolent and chivalrous things done by the Fengyue Gang. The Ma gang leader really deserves it! Ma gang leader, don't be humble anymore, as the mayor of the town, you can do more things for the Hui people, and this matter is decided!"

The old mayor and Ma Fengyue had already discussed it before they came, and they were very happy to see that King An agreed.

King An smiled at Miao Ling and said, "You are Miao Ling, right?"

Miao Ling didn't expect King An to recognize him, so he hurriedly smiled: "Yes, you also know me, Lord Wang?"

King An smiled: "Haha, the dignified Fengyue Gang Young Gang Leader, the Shaolin Temple Heroes will get a Tanhua, who can not know?"

Miao Ling laughed.

King An said to Sun Jingwen: "Manager Sun, tell the kitchen to prepare a halal banquet at noon, I want to have a good chat with the old town mayor Ma Gangmaster! Also, go and ask Zhi'er to accompany the banquet." ”

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" the three of them stood up and thanked them.

......

Everyone was eating tea and laughing, Zhu Zhi came in from outside, hugged his fists and said: "Father, the son came back late from his inspection of the city, and he neglected the guests, forgive the sin!"

King An smiled and said: "Come on, Zhi'er, come and see the old mayor and the horse gang leader, Miao Ling Shao gang leader!"

Zhu Zhi saw the salute one by one, and after seeing Miao Ling, he smiled at Miao Ling, turned to King An and smiled: "Father, I am an old friend with this Miao girl!"

"Oh?" An Wangqi said, "How did you meet?"

Zhu Zhi said: "Last time I and Qiu Yue were found by thieves when we were secretly investigating under the Black Wind Village, a group of people came around and asked us what we were doing, I was in a panic and didn't answer, the thieves were about to do it, just Miss Miao returned to Ningxia from the Central Plains, passing by here, saw that we were besieged, rode over, stopped the group of thieves, said that we were looking for her, and relieved the siege for us. ”

"There happened to be a few Hui people in that group of thieves, and they also knew me, I thought it was ordinary people who were saving, but I didn't expect it to be the little prince!" Miao Ling said with a smile.

"Hahahaha," King An and the old mayor both laughed.

Zhu Zhi stood up with a smile, picked up a cup of tea and said to Miao Ling: "Thank you Miss Miao for saving your life!"

"Didn't you thank you that day?"

"The grace of saving lives, no matter how many times I thank you, it's not much!"

Everyone laughed.
