29, Chapter 29(1/3)
When Qi Chi returned to the room, Xinlu had just lit the lamp holder.
She cleaned her hair so that she would not be seen and sat upright on the desk.
Xinlu smiled and said, "Depending on the appearance of the head of the family, I must have spoken to the Protector of the Great."
Everyone knows that the majority of the PROP has not come here recently, and they are slaves who dare not say much, but seeing that the head of the family has taken the initiative to pass, there must be nothing wrong, so they are also happy.
Qi Chi smiled slightly when he heard this, and was speechless.
She also wanted to talk to him for a long time, but where to start.
It was originally for the sake of his nephew and his brother's last wish, and she couldn't lie to him that it was all out of true feelings.
That man is not easy to cheat.
Qi Chi knew that he was in the wrong, and he didn't blame him, and he knew that he was not that ungrateful man.
She just hoped to pry him open, but he couldn't pry him.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the hateful King Yong again, and my face turned cold.
After the light was finished, the light suddenly came over and took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to her: "Master, this is what you just sent when you went to the study."
It's a letter again.
Qichi frowned as soon as he saw the letter. When he saw the handwriting on the envelope, he felt strange.
From Luoyang.
She took it, pulled it away, and frowned again.
It turned out to be sent by Cui Mingdu.
Qi Chi unfolded, held it in front of the lamp, and saw the end carefully.
Cui Mingdu said in the letter that because of her previous heroic act of buying horses in Gaolanzhou, King Yong had already gone to the saint to say something. The saint didn't say anything, but since he knew, he still wrote to tell her.
The whole letter is respectful and polite, just to say this.
She clamped her letter with her fingers, and came to the lamp holder, ignited it, and threw it to the ground.
Xinlu was surprised when she saw this: "Why did the head of the family burn?"
The flame reflected her face, her face was plain and her tone was also light: "I am already a married woman, how can I communicate with other men privately?"
When Xinlu heard this, she realized that the letter was sent by another man. She nodded repeatedly, squatted down and cleaned up the ashes on the ground.
Qichi didn't care about what was said in the letter, and she thought of this when she decided to buy a horse.
Because the other Protectorate was asking for money, the saint no longer asked about the situation of the Anbei Protectorate. He did not provide much assistance every year, and he heard that there was no last year.
Since that's the case, even if you hear that Hanhai Mansion has money, how could you say anything? On the contrary, King Yong rushed to talk about his words, which was more likely to attract the dislike of the saints.
She didn't know why Cui Mingdu had to write a letter to say such a small matter, and she didn't send it to Fu Ting, but to her.
Could it be...
Her eyes moved, thinking about the situation she had encountered him in Gaolanzhou, she suddenly laughed.
Xinlu looked up and asked in surprise: "What is the head of the family laughing at?"
She shook her head: "Nothing."
But suddenly I felt that the men in the world were really weird. I remembered what I didn’t get, and I didn’t want them to send them to the mouth.
The city was sunny for two consecutive days, and there seemed to be no trace of wind and snow.
Qiu Frost raised the curtain of the carriage and helped the house to rise up.
She wore a hat and got onto the car, and the coachman immediately rushed out.
Qiu Shuang whispered outside: "Honor, the certificate has not been obtained yet, what should I do?"
What I mean is the caravan's exit certificate.
Qichi said, "Wait a little longer."
She had no choice but to do it for the time being, at least she had to pass the Futing threshold first.
She sat in the car, sorting out her mind, suddenly she felt very quiet and asked, "No one outside?"
Qiu Shuang replied: "There are indeed very few people on the street today."
While talking, the carriage drove to the city gate and stopped.
"The head of the family, the city gate has fallen and cannot go out."
Qi Chi lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw people walking on the street, in groups of three or three, all walking back.
The city gate has indeed fallen.
She glanced at the sun and somehow found it so early. Could something happened again?
Qiu Shuang was about to get out of the car and ask someone, but a few soldiers riding fast horses rushed over and shouted, "Martial law! Retreat!"
Qiu Shuang hurriedly stood close to the car and didn't dare to move.
Qichi looked away again, and suddenly a voice came from behind: "Sister-in-law?"
She turned around and saw Luo Xiaoyi riding a horse, leading several soldiers behind her.
"Sister-in-law is going to leave the city?"
Qi Chi casually found a remark: "Just go anywhere, what's wrong today?"
Luo Xiaoyi said: "My sister-in-law doesn't know anything. After receiving the news, the third brother is afraid that the Turkic spies have been infiltrated in the city. He has been watching for a whole day and captured two, and the rest are still being searched."
Qi Chi recalled that Cao Yulin had just arrived not only for a while, but also for Fu Ting.
She nodded, put down the curtain, and called Qiu Shuang.
Qiu Shuang lifted the curtain and came in, and she whispered: "You try to send a letter to the shops and caravans under your command, and help you pay attention."
I remember Cao Yulin said that Fu Ting’s defense is for the sake of restoring people’s livelihood.
Since she is for the benefit of the North, she should have to contribute.
Qiu Shuang nodded and got out of the car.
Qi Chi opened the curtain again to see Luo Xiaoyi: "If you are busy, go and do it first."
I don’t want to delay his business, after all, I can’t delay catching a spy.
Luo Xiaoyi also wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he felt that throwing her on the street was unreasonable, and it was not necessarily safe at the moment.
He looked at the way back and felt it was far away, so he simply said, "Sister-in-law, let me go. I have to patrol around. When I get to the vicinity of the Protectorate, I will send my sister-in-law back. This is how to explain it to my third brother."
After hearing this, Qichi couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say this?"
She almost thought that the man was going to be heartless to her.
Luo Xiaoyi was confused, "What did you say?"
He thought that his third brother would protect his sister-in-law like that, and it would be necessary to say that he could not make any mistakes.
"Let me listen to you." Qichi put down the curtain and didn't want to say more.
Luo Xiaoyi didn't know what was wrong with her. After thinking about it carefully, his third brother has also become a little strange recently.
It seems that I don’t speak much anymore, sometimes I talk less than when I was injured in my neck before.
There was still something in front of him, and he didn't think about these private matters much, and waved to the driver to follow him.
The coachman drove the car and patrolled the city with him.
After a round, before he arrived near the Protectorate's Mansion, a soldier rushed to report that he had found two more and had been intercepted.
Luo Xiaoyi immediately asked: "Where did you find it?"
"It was a caravan who came to report that there were two suspicious ones, but they were caught after they went there."
Qi Chi listened clearly in the car, guessing whether it was her caravan.
Recently, there seems to be no big caravan in the city, only she has it. She has it in her hands, but she has been unable to go out because she has not had the certificate from the Protectorate Palace and has been suppressing her and unable to go out.
Outside, Luo Xiaoyi had already called to turn the direction and went there.
It seemed like he had gone around a big circle. When he stopped, Qichi heard Qiu Shuang's voice.
She put on the hat and got out of the car.
In front of me was a shop in the west of the city, selling food, and the hall was large, and at this time there were officers and soldiers inside.
Two bearded Hu men were kneeling outside the door with a knife on their backs.
Qiu Shuang was standing at the door. When she saw the head of the family arrived, she immediately came up and whispered: "The head of the family, it was a coincidence, I really discovered it."
Qichi then understood that it was really discovered by her caravan.
Perhaps the spy thought the caravan could leave the city, so he came secretly.
She asked, "Is this shop's cabinet reliable?"
I was afraid that Luo Xiaoyi and others were searching now. If I ask about the details on the cabinet later, I would reveal my relationship with Qiu Shuang, which would break her identity.
