The Favoured Medical Princess: 481 dissatisfied
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
The genius was bright, and Tang Qinghong led a team of troops from the military camp to Luoyue City.
Since the prince led his troops to Huiling City, he was arranged by the King of Zhennan to be stationed in the military camp for a long time. He would only return home once every ten days to rest. However, two hours ago, he suddenly received a secret order from King Zhennan, asking him to send troops back to the city.
It is said——
A spy from Nanliang was discovered in Luo Yue City and kidnapped Miss Qiao Biao from the palace.
This is a big event, so although Tang Qinghong was rushed back to the city, he was very satisfied. He was the prince's confidant, so he entrusted him with such an important matter. Even if the prince shows his talents now, his status cannot be shaken.
So Tang Qinghong hurriedly ordered a hundred soldiers and hurried back to the city.
At this time, on the official road, there were already some people who were working hard for a day's livelihood. When they saw a group of officers and soldiers approaching on horseback, they quickly gave way for fear of being hit.
Even a team of carriages and horses moving forward at a leisurely pace was no exception.
Da da da!
The horses' hooves were flying and they were galloping past the carriages and horses. At this moment, Tang Qinghong, who was at the front, suddenly pulled the reins.
Xu——
The red horse stepped on the spot a few times, and then under Tang Qinghong's instructions, it walked towards the carriage.
The soldiers behind him also stopped and followed.
Tang Qinghong's eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly. This green-covered carriage looked ordinary, but it was made of precious rosewood body, axles made of fine red axle wood, and the brown horse pulling the carriage. A horse is obviously a BMW that can travel thousands of miles in a day. Even if you get such a BMW and don't care about it, how can you use it to pull a cart! Looking at the decoration around the carriage, it looks low-key at first glance, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the materials used for the hood and surrounds are very sophisticated.
Even the clothes of those who accompanied him were extraordinary. The young man riding on the red horse was even more dressed in brocade clothes and had his hair **** with a golden crown, carrying a kind of arrogance that seemed to be inherent in him. The horses they ride on are all tall and mighty, and even a layman can tell that these horses are rare and fine horses.
These people are anything but ordinary!
Tang Qinghong was no stranger to the Gaomen Mansion in Luoyue City, and there was clearly no one in front of him.
What's more, it's only midnight. Besides those people who are tired of running around, who would choose to go out at this hour?
The more Tang Qinghong thought about it, the more suspicious they became. Although he was anxious to return to the city, if he could make a contribution before returning to the city, wouldn't it represent his ability?
Tang Qinghong raised his hand with some satisfaction and asked: "Who are you?"
"What happened?"
The driver who was driving heard the sound coming from the carriage and whispered back: "Sir, someone is blocking the road."
There was no sound in the carriage. Xiao Si understood the meaning of Guan Yubai and remained calm.
Li Yunqi looked at Tang Qinghong without showing any signs of weakness. Everyone in this team was wearing armor, well-trained and had strict orders. They were obviously not ordinary guards, but regular troops in southern Xinjiang.
But why stop them?
Even if it is an inspection, it should be done by the government office. How can regular troops be used? Could it be... Li Yunqi had a thought in his mind and guessed: Could it be that King Zhennan heard that Marquis An Yi was coming and planned to give them a blow? !
Li Yunqi snorted coldly and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Yunqi's accent clearly indicated that he was not from southern Xinjiang, which made Tang Qinghong's suspicion even stronger. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers immediately surrounded him, and then he heard Tang Qinghong say: "Don't be nagging, the government will investigate! ”
The government investigation...it must be the government, but obviously Tang Qinghong didn't care about this at all.
Li Yunqi was even more convinced that his guess was correct. King Zhennan wanted to show off to An Yihou! I wonder how An Yihou will behave?
Before he received the imperial edict and came to southern Xinjiang with Marquis An Yi, the emperor had already called him to the palace and gave him a secret edict. His mission this time is not only to protect the safety of An Yihou, but also to monitor and prevent An Yihou from forming an alliance with the King of Zhennan. If there is any sign, give him the right to report secretly.
Li Yunqi naturally obeys the emperor's orders. Unexpectedly, King Zhennan presented him with a ready-made opportunity. If he had just arrived at the territory of Luo Yue City, and had suffered a blow, even An Yihou, who was like a direct immortal, would not be calm, right?
Thinking of this, Li Yunqi was the first to dismount neatly, and the four accompanying people also dismounted one after another.
Xiao Si, who was sitting on the driver’s seat, got out of the carriage.
Tang Qinghong pointed to the green curtain behind Xiaosi and asked: "Who is in the carriage? Let him get off too!"
Xiao Si replied expressionlessly: "In the carriage is my young master. He is recovering from his illness. He is a little weak and cannot get out of the carriage."
Tang Qinghong frowned and ordered: "Lift the curtain!"
Xiaosi glanced at the carriage and saw that Guan Yubai was silent, so he raised his hand to lift the curtain.
A faint medicinal fragrance floated out from it.
Tang Qinghong squinted slightly and looked inside the carriage with sharp eyes. He saw that the carriage was covered with a layer of bamboo-colored carpet, and the cushions, curtains and other decorations were almost all the same color, which looked simple and elegant. But if you look closely, you will find that the interior of the carriage is very meticulous. The rear crossbar is equipped with tiles, and the carriage is covered with hidden nails and curtain hooks. Although these decorations are only made of engraved cupronickel, every piece of them is It's so exquisite and delicate that it's probably no better than the palace's carriage.
The sickly young man in a white robe for a month was leaning on the carriage in a sickly manner. His facial features were as handsome as those of an immortal, his complexion was pale, and his figure was thin and frail. He looked extremely weak. It's the official language.
The carriage was empty, and you could see clearly at a casual glance that there was no one except this sickly young man.
Tang Qinghong stared at Guan Yubai carefully for a while with his sharp eyes, and thought to himself: Is this the master of this group of people? He seems to be a weak scholar...
It seems that I really made a mistake.
However, despite being stopped, I have to find out clearly, otherwise I will be too embarrassed today!
Tang Qinghong said in a serious voice: "This young man, get out of the car!"
A hint of impatient coldness flashed in Xiaosi's eyes, and he cast an inquiring look at Guan Yubai.
Guan Yubai smiled faintly, picked up a small ebony and lacquered gold box and said, "Xiaosi, give me a hand."
Guan Yubai got off the carriage with the help of Xiao Si.
Tang Qinghong waved his hand, and two soldiers immediately came forward to search. One surrounded the carriage to check, and the other got on the carriage, using a scabbard to roughly stir the carriage, from the storage bench to the food box. , to the big and small boxes... and even the wheels of the carriage were carefully examined. The carriage was in a mess, and Xiao Si's expression became even colder.
There was always a slight smile on Guan Yubai's lips, as if he didn't care about the scene in front of him. On the contrary, Li Yunqi's unhappiness was getting worse and worse.
Li Yunqi is also a son of a general, and he has achieved military exploits in the battle against Beidi. He has never received such treatment in the royal capital. Although he intended to make Guan Yubai dissatisfied with the King of Zhennan, at this time he pressed the button first. Unable to bear it any longer, he said in a cold voice: "Are you done with the investigation? Can we leave now?"
At this time, for Tang Qinghong, it was no longer just a search.
In fact, if this group of people lowered their posture and said a few nice words, it would be enough to let him fall down. I didn't expect these mere civilians to dare to talk back!
Tang Qinghong scanned around again to see if there were any loopholes. Then he landed on the small box in Guan Yubai's hand, squinted slightly and said, "What is in this box? Give it to me. General, take a look!"
Li Yunqi finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He subconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and blurted out, "Presumptuous!"
The four accompanying soldiers behind him also made the same movements, in unison. Although their swords were not drawn out, their attempts to draw them out were obvious.
Dare to use force!
No matter whether these people are spies from Nanliang or not, if they dare to attack me with force, we must not tolerate them!
I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!
Tang Qinghong waved his hand, and the soldiers pulled out the long sword from the scabbard one after another, pointing the tip of the sword at them.
Other people passing by on the official road were so frightened that they fled away, staying away from each other, whispering to each other, and talking among themselves.
At the same time, Li Yunqi and the other five also drew their swords out of their sheaths, their silver blades shining brightly in the sunlight.
Both Tang Qinghong and Li Yunqi were all blinded by impulse at this moment.
For a time, the situation was tense.
There was a faint smile on Guan Yubai's lips. He looked at this point quietly before speaking out and said: "Liu Lieutenant, please don't be impulsive."
Li Xiaowei...
Tang Qinghong was shocked. The school captain was a fifth-grade military attache. Although his military rank was far lower than his own, he was still an official.
If the fifth-grade captain can only be a retinue, then who is this young master?
Facing Tang Qinghong's probing gaze, Guan Yubai said calmly and calmly: "I came here on the emperor's order. If there is any misunderstanding, please let me know, General."
Master Hou?
Southern Xinjiang is no different from the royal capital. There are princes' and lords' houses everywhere. In this territory, except for the King of Zhennan and the Crown Prince, there are no other nobles. Hearing that it was a marquis, Tang Qinghong was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. Even if this person was a first-class imperial envoy, he would not be so rude.
After seeing the token handed over by Xiaosi, Tang Qinghong believed it and quickly asked his soldiers to put away their weapons. While secretly complaining in his heart why they didn't tell them earlier, he clasped his fists and said: "Master Marquis, I have official duties at the end, and I have offended you. I hope you will forgive me."
Li Yunqi was about to ask a few questions when Guan Yubai said gently: "It's okay."
Li Yunqi could only swallow his breath, thinking: He had long heard that An Yihou was as gentle as jade, and that he was a handsome and handsome young man, and what he saw along the way was exactly the same. I don’t know what he was like when he was leading the army. Is it possible that he is as docile as he is now? Then this illustrious military exploit must be carefully considered...
Tang Qinghong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the person he met was not an arrogant and domineering person, otherwise what happened today would be really difficult to deal with! He calmed down and said: "Master Marquis is going to Luoyue City? The general can give you a ride."
Guan Yubai tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you, general."
Tang Qinghong winked at Wang Pianjiang beside him. Wang Pianjiang immediately understood and rushed to Zhennan Palace to report the news.
Guan Yubai got into the carriage with the help of Xiao Si. Even though the carriage was turned over into a mess, there was no trace of displeasure on his face.
Xiaosi’s face was expressionless from beginning to end. He jumped on the coachman’s seat and the carriage and horses continued to move forward...
With General Tang Qinghong leading the way, they naturally entered Luoyue City without any hindrance. Afterwards, Guan Yubai and his party went straight to Zhennan Palace.
The red door of the palace opened wide, and Guan Yubai was respectfully welcomed into the palace. He was led to the Yimen before stopping.
Guan Yubai got off the carriage, and King Zhennan came after hearing the news. He smiled at Guan Yubai and said, "Master Guan Yubai, I have admired you for a long time." As he said this, King Zhennan looked at Guan Yubai with a scrutinizing gaze. .
Although the King of Zhennan had heard about Guan Yubai for a long time, this was the first time he saw him, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad: This handsome young man who didn't look like a military commander at all was the one who had to defend Xirong so that he didn't dare to cross. Leichi's half-step official language is white?
Guan Yubai bowed respectfully: "I have met the prince."
The King of Zhennan hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, no courtesy."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, King Zhennan learned that Guan Yubai came with an imperial edict, and hurriedly welcomed him into the main hall in person.
After the servants hurriedly set up the incense table, Guan Yubai took out the imperial edict, walked to the front and said: "Your Majesty, I will read out the imperial edict."
"Thank you, Lord." King Zhennan knelt down in the hall and lowered his head to listen.
The official language opened the imperial edict made of bright yellow silk with a white "brush" and read it out.
When King Zhennan heard that the emperor asked him to send troops to Baiyue to help Kuilang recover, he almost jumped up. Back then, Kui Lang led his troops and severely damaged several cities in southern Xinjiang. Even he himself was once trapped in Fengjiang City by hundreds of armies... Now the emperor actually asked him to help his enemy recover? ! The emperor is crazy!
And the excitement brought by the imperial edict was not limited to this. King Zhennan later learned that Guan Yubai would stay in southern Xinjiang to help him.
The face of King Zhennan turned dark. No one with a discerning eye could tell that this was not Xiangzhu. He was clearly here to monitor him!
After finally waiting for Guan Yubai to finish reciting the imperial edict, King Zhennan was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath, kowtowed to thank him, and respectfully received the imperial edict with both hands.
King Zhennan stood up and looked at Guan Yubai with a complicated expression.
Hey, it seems that I will be working with An Yihou from now on.
The King of Zhennan quickly adjusted his mentality, smiled, and said: "Master Hou, you have worked hard all the way. If you don't mind, just stay in the palace for the time being."
Guan Yubai did not refuse and thanked with a smile.
The King of Zhennan called a maid over and ordered her to send a message to the Crown Princess to prepare the guest house.
The King of Zhennan and Guan Yubai sat down as host and guest, Li Yunqi also got a seat, and the maids immediately served tea. The King of Zhennan was about to probe Guan Yubai's tone and wanted to know why the emperor suddenly wanted to help Kuilang restore his country. Unexpectedly, Guan Yubai spoke first and said: "Your Majesty, I saw that Luo Yue City was heavily guarded. I dare to ask if someone is out of control." What's the matter?"
The face of King Zhennan froze. He was a superior vassal king, and his rank was much higher than the second-grade An Yihou. He did not need to explain anything to Guan Yubai, but Guan Yubai is now an imperial envoy and is here again. Tang Qinghong was neglected on the way. If he didn't give him an explanation, if he went to the emperor to complain, it would always be extra trouble for him!
The King of Zhennan hesitated for a moment, and finally told the inside story: "It surprised the Marquis. The Marquis may not know yet, but Nanliang invaded heavily a while ago, and now Nanliang spies have sneaked into Luoyue City and kidnapped me. The king's niece tried to threaten the Zhennan Palace..."
The King of Zhennan attributed all the reasons for the martial law to the search for Nanliang spies. In this way, it was natural for him to impose a large-scale martial law and look for his niece Shunshun.
"I see..." Guan Yubai tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "My lord, have you sent someone to search Maofeng Town?"
"Maofeng Town?" King Zhennan didn't know why he said that.
"I met two people with foreign accents in Maofeng Town yesterday." Guan Yubai said, "They also brought an unconscious girl with them. Maybe they are the people the prince is looking for. ."
The King of Zhennan immediately beamed with joy. Regardless of whether Guan Yubai was talking about Qiao Ruolan, at least he had a clue!
The King of Zhennan clasped his fists politely and said: "Thank you, Lord Marquis. I will order someone to go to Maofeng Town right now."
This matter not only involved Qiao Ruolan, but also the situation with Nanliang. King Zhennan did not dare to take it lightly and immediately sent Tang Qinghong, who had just been called into the city, to go there in person with a hundred soldiers.
As soon as Tang Qinghong arrived in Maofeng Town, he sealed off the whole town with thunderous force. All the people in the town were coaxed back by the soldiers.
As for the people who were not from this town, they were all driven to several inns and were not allowed to go out.
This time was a great opportunity for him to make achievements in front of the prince. Tang Qinghong did not dare to ignore it at all. He personally sat at the entrance of the town, and the one hundred soldiers were divided into small teams of ten people. Two teams were responsible for sealing the town gate, and two teams guarded the town. At Tang Qinghong's side, the rest took the portraits and searched them one by one.
A tense atmosphere seemed to be shrouded in layers of dark clouds in Maofeng Town, and a storm seemed to be coming.
The doors of all the houses in the town were opened, and the people waited for the search in fear, without daring to make any unnecessary moves.
All the soldiers led by Tang Qinghong were under strict orders. They searched every house very carefully, making a mess of all kinds of objects in the house, and even broke many pots and pans. But how could these ordinary people dare to If you resist the officers and soldiers, you will have no choice but to consider yourself unlucky.
However, after spending half a day searching most of the homes in Maofeng Town, nothing was found...
Seeing the sun getting stronger and the weather getting hotter, Tang Qinghong also became irritable. At this time, the accompanying general surnamed Wang ran over quickly, bowed and said: "General, I found a pearl flower in a long-abandoned house in the northwest of the town. This pearl flower looks like Miss Qiao's cousin. "..." The problem is, Zhuhua is there, but the person is not. "General, that room is empty."
General Wang Pian respectfully presented a wintersweet gold wire hollow bead flower.
At the beginning, the King of Zhennan specially ordered the painter to draw all the clothes and jewelry that Qiao Ruolan had on the day she disappeared based on the descriptions of Qiao Zhai's maids and maids. Among them was this wintersweet golden silk hollow bead flower. .
Tang Qinghong recognized it immediately and hurriedly stood up and said: "General Wang, please take this general over to have a look!"
Tang Qinghong led his troops non-stop to the house that General Wang mentioned in person, and ordered his soldiers to search the entire house. It could be said that they dug three feet into the ground. However, there was no secret passage or dark room in this house. , and no one...
"General," General Wang said cautiously, "it's been a whole night, do you think Miss Qiao Ciao has been taken away?"
Tang Qinghong looked solemn, this was what he was most afraid of. Once the Nanliang spies took Miss Qiao Biao out of the southern border, where would they go to find people?
"General Wang, please stay here. I will rush back to Luoyue City immediately to report to the prince."
Tang Qinghong rushed back to the Prince of Zhennan’s Mansion as quickly as possible, respectfully told the Prince of Zhennan what had happened, and presented the wintersweet golden silk hollow bead flower.
The King of Zhennan took the beaded flower, looked unhappy, and said, "This is indeed Sister Lan's beaded flower!" This was Xiao Fang's birthday gift to Qiao Ruolan two years ago.
Youzhuhua, obviously Qiao Ruolan was indeed imprisoned there, but since no one was seen, he must have been taken away! King Zhennan narrowed his sharp eyes and ordered in a deep voice: "General Tang, go back immediately, use Maofeng Town as the center, expand the scope of the search, and be sure to find the cousin..." At this point, he glanced Guan Yubai, paused unnaturally, and emphasized, "Of course we must catch the Nanliang spy who kidnapped the cousin girl!"
Tang Qinghong was about to bow down and accept the order when he heard Guan Yubai, who was sitting beside him, say, "Your Majesty, please wait."
The King of Zhennan asked politely: "What do you think, Lord Marquis?"
Guan Yubai said calmly and slowly: "Your Majesty, I think this pearl flower is probably a bait used by the people of Nanliang to 'lead the tiger away from the mountain'. He should still be in Maofeng Town."
His tone is calm and soothing, but it gives people a sense of calm and calmness, making people unconsciously convinced.
The King of Zhennan pondered for a moment and finally said: "General Tang, the troops are divided into two groups."
Tang Qinghong accepted the order with his fists clasped, flicked his red cloak, and strode away. The scabbard of his sword hit his armor from time to time as he walked, revealing his inner peace at the moment.
Not only Tang Qinghong was upset, but so was King Zhennan. He stared at Zhuhua for a long time, and finally decided not to tell Mrs. Qiao for the time being, lest she worry even more.
In the palace, even the servants felt the anxiety of King Zhennan. They all lowered their eyebrows and looked down, and the entire palace was enveloped in a heavy atmosphere.
But in Bixiaotang, things were still orderly and unaffected by the palace's uneasiness.
Nangong Yue sat on the Grand Master's chair in the main room, listening to the reports from the nanny below, nodding from time to time.
Although Nangong Yue had known for a long time that Guan Yubai would soon come to southern Xinjiang to meet with Xiao Yi, it was not until recently when the King of Zhennan sent a message asking her to prepare a guest yard for An Yihou that Guan Yubai It’s already arrived!
This is much earlier than Nangong Yue originally expected.
The heat in southern Xinjiang was unbearable, and Guan Yubai was weak and could not use a lot of ice to cool down. Nangong Yue thought for a long time and ordered people to prepare Qingyunwu in the northeast of the palace. There were large bamboo forests there and they lived near the water. Not only is it quiet, but it's also very cool.
It’s just that no one has lived in Qingyunwu for a long time. Although there are people cleaning it from time to time, except for the large tables, chairs and furniture, all other furnishings have been put into the warehouse. Obviously, it cannot be lived in directly.
Nangong Yue could only call Baihui back from Xiao Fei, gave her a pair of cards, and ordered her to take someone to clean it up.
After cleaning and tidying up, the warehouse was opened, and everything from large screens and vases to the four treasures of the study, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were taken out of the warehouse one by one to decorate Qingyunwu.
Li Yunqi, who was accompanying Guan Yubai, was placed in Hewenyuan not far from Qingyunwu by Nangong Yue, and Nanny Lu was specially sent to take care of it.
At this time, Nanny Lu was reporting to Nangong Yue that the Hewen Academy had been sorted out.
"...take some ice and send it to Qingyunwu and Hewenyuan." Nangong Yue waited for her to finish speaking, and then said: "I have told you that both of you are distinguished guests from the royal capital, so remember not to neglect them. ."
Nanny Lu bowed and accepted the order. After Nangong Yue gave some more instructions, she waved her hand to leave.
It was almost Shen time, and the sun outside was still fierce. Nangong Yue thought for a while, called Ying'er, and asked her to go to the big kitchen and ask her to prepare some warm sour plum soup and send it to King Zhennan's study.
Ying'er took the order and went out, passing by Magpie who was returning in a hurry.
"The Crown Princess." Que'er was blessed and reported, "We have found Miss Qiao Biao."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and heard Que'er continue: "General Tang Qinghong just sent someone back to report that he was found in the home of a family in Maofeng Town who was having a funeral." At this point, her The expression was a little strange, "Miss Qiao Ciao is lying in the coffin!...But she is still alive."
The thrush in the room couldn't help but let out a soft "Yeah", and Nangong Yue's face also showed a look of surprise, and then asked the key question, "Did Nan Liang's spies catch it?"
The magpie replied: "They all committed suicide by taking poison."
There are not many people in the town. If there are strangers coming and going, it will actually be quite noticeable. In other words, the house that Nanliang people use as their stronghold cannot be built recently. It should be at least several years old. .
It took a lot of effort, but now I give up easily, and I still use the decisive method of "taking poison".
Nangong Yue always feels that it shouldn’t be so simple...
