Qianlong was ecstatic when the parrot in front of the window suddenly screamed:

"Girls are auspicious!Girls are auspicious!Girls are auspicious..."

Qianlong bounced up from the chair and looked around in surprise. Could it be that they were back?

Caixia bent her knees:

"Your Majesty, it's that parrot. It's always like this, lying to us all day long!"

Qianlong sat down dejectedly, feeling a thrill in his heart, thinking:

"Those two girls have caused a huge disaster and committed hundreds or thousands of "deceptions of the emperor". But why do I still miss them like this? And Yongqi and Erkang, where are they living? Have they endured hardships?"

Qianlong was thinking, and a loud eunuch came from outside:

"Empress Ling is here!"

Qianlong raised his head and saw Concubine Ling and two ministers stepping in quickly. Seeing Qianlong, he quickly greeted him:

"Your Majesty, you can't be found everywhere. So you are here! I wish you an urgent report!"

The two ministers swayed their sleeves and knelt down.

"The emperor is lucky! I am Zhu Xiang, please come to the emperor!"

Qianlong asked in shock:

"Did you find them?"

"Report to the Emperor! They have discovered their whereabouts! The Emperor once instructed that if they find the trace, they must report to the Emperor first! So I came here to repay you!" said the minister.

"Where are they?" Qianlong was excited.

"Back to the emperor! There is a village of Zhengyi in Liuhegou. A few days ago, they rescued a girl who was about to be burned. According to the description, martial arts skills, men and women, are completely similar to the two princes, the fifth prince, and Mr. Fu! We have sent the best experts to continue tracking... But I don't know how the emperor will deal with them! There are martial arts masters around them. If they want to capture them, there will be casualties!"

Qianlong slapped the table and said angrily:

"What 'I'm afraid there will be casualties'? I have said so many times that I want to 'capture' them alive! No one is allowed to be hurt! You should send martial arts masters to me quickly. Even if you demolish Liuhegou, you will catch them all! Do you know?"

"Zhe! I understand!" The minister bowed and wanted to retreat.

"Come back!" Qianlong shouted, "I will tell you again, don't hurt them! You must catch them 'unscathed', do you understand? Go quickly!"

"I obey the order!" The two ministers retreated in fear.

Concubine Ling walked up to Qianlong, looked at Qianlong deeply, and bent her knees at Qianlong:

"Your Majesty, your 'unscathing' has moved me so much! If you really catch them, can you tell me the truth again?"

Qianlong looked at Concubine Ling and said nothing.

In Kunning Palace, the queen and Mama Rong were also having a secret conversation.

"What? Have you found a trace? The emperor said 'no hurt'? Isn't it wrong? Isn't it 'kill and not?'?" the queen asked Rong Mama in surprise.

"No! Barang said, the emperor said, "Don't hurt them"!"

The queen glared at Mama Rong:

"What does this... mean? The emperor is soft-hearted?"

"Empress! In my opinion, after this period of time, the emperor may have lost his anger. He also admitted the matter of Concubine Xiang! Maybe he missed those two girls again. After all, the fifth prince is the emperor's favorite son! Everyone is the same, even the emperor is the same. When he loses a person, he often missed that person the most! The emperor would go to Shufangzhai, which is a clear proof! I think that if the fifth prince comes back, he may be 'resurrect'!"

"Resurrection?" The queen couldn't believe it, "How could they have committed such a huge disaster? Even if they were captured alive, they would be imprisoned for the rest of their lives!"

"Whether to be closed or not is a word from the emperor! Whether to be killed or not is also a word from the emperor! Whether to forgive or not is also a word from the emperor!"

The queen pondered, threw the veil and looked up resolutely.

"You go and call Balang in, I want to have a secret talk with him!"

"twitter!"

Ziwei Erkang and others who were escaping, walked to a very desolate mountainous area that night. Everyone was tired and cold, but couldn't find a place to live. Finally, they found a broken temple in the valley. Erkang and Yongqi took the lead, holding torches in their hands and walked into the broken temple. Ziwei, Xiaoyanzi, Xiao Jian, Liu Qing, Liu Hong, Jin Zuo and others followed. After entering the broken temple, they saw many hideous Buddha statues shaking under the light and shadow of the torches. The surrounding wind was bleak, and the shadows were everywhere. Jin Zuo shrank his neck and almost hid in Liu Hong's arms, saying in fear:

"Are we really going to live here tonight? I think it's gloomy and terrible! I'd rather sleep in the carriage than sleep here!"

"So too! So is me!" Xiaoyanzi responded immediately.

"Don't pick three or four!" Erkang said authoritatively, "How can you sleep outside? It's almost winter, and it's so cold at night! Sleeping in a carriage will cause freezing disease, so you can shelter from the wind and rain here! Look, there is straw in the corner of the wall. We spread the straw on the ground, cover the quilt on the carriage, and everyone will lay it on the floor and let it go!"

Liu Qing and Liu Hong went to move the straw. Unexpectedly, suddenly, a thin person jumped out of the straw pile, with disheveled hair, gloomy and a plain voice:

"I am a ghost! You even want to steal the straw of ghosts, are you afraid of life?"

Liu Hong was shocked, turned around and ran away, shouting:

"There are ghosts! There are ghosts! There are ghosts..."

It doesn't matter if Liu Hong called it. Jin Zuo was so scared that he screamed and hugged Xiaoyanzi:

"There are ghosts! There are ghosts! Escape quickly! Escape quickly..."

The little swallow ran out and almost knocked Ziwei over. Several girls hugged each other and shouted.

Erkang didn't believe in evil, so he used a torch to see all the men and women with disheveled hair appeared in every corner, standing up one by one, making a sound of ghosts and howling:

"Woo...woo..."

"Ah...ah...ah..."

The ghosts approached slowly with their teeth and claws.

Ziwei, Jinsuo, Xiaoyanzi, Liu Hong screamed in fear and ran outwards.

Yongqi hurriedly protected Xiaoyanzi and shouted:

"Little Swallow, don't be afraid. With me in front of you, no one can hurt you!"

"Don't be messed up, don't run away!" Erkang exclaimed anxiously, and said with a stern voice, "I want to see what these ghosts look like! I haven't seen ghosts in my life, so I can see them today!"

After Erkang said this, Yongqi also responded loudly:

"Yes! I haven't seen a ghost! Tonight, we have such a good luck and can be an eye-opener! Erkang, let's take care of us!"

As Erkang and Yongqi talked, the two of them took a torch and sent it to a ghost's face with a fearless spirit. Seeing the ghost's long hair shawl, Erkang yelled:

"It seems that you are a long-haired ghost! I'll burn your hair and beard first!"

Erkang used a torch to burn the long-haired ghost's hair and beard.

The long-haired ghost was shocked and almost got burned. He hurriedly retreated and shouted:

"Why are you more fierce than a ghost?"

Erkang shouted angrily:

"We are already in the sun! We are chased by pursuers, stolen by robbers and bandits... Now, we are still bullied by ghosts! What kind of world is this? Men, ghosts, women, come up! Let's see if they are powerful ghosts or powerful people!"

As Erkang said, he used a torch to burn the long-haired ghost.

The long-haired ghost dodged the torch, tripped under his feet, and actually fell a dog to eat shit, and immediately moaned:

"Ouch! Ouch..."

Erkang stepped on the chest of the long-haired ghost and asked loudly:

"What the hell are you? Tell me clearly! If you don't explain it clearly, I'll step on you to death again!"

The long-haired ghost bowed on the ground and shouted:

"Good guy, please spare me! We have no choice... Apart from pretending to be a ghost, everyone can't survive..."

"So they are fake ghosts!" Liu Qing shouted, "I just said, these ghosts are not even afraid of Bodhisattvas, they are too arrogant!" Then he turned around and shouted, "Jinsuo, Ziwei! Don't be afraid! They are fake ghosts!"

"Find more torches and let us see these fake ghosts clearly!" Xiao Jian also shouted.

Liu Qing, Liu Hong was no longer afraid. Everyone found many torches in the corner of the wall. The torches were lit one by one. Everyone took the torches and saw that the ghosts were all beggars with unclothed clothes. They all had hair disheveled, their faces were pale and thin, and they all looked very pitiful. The long-haired ghost knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said:

"Dear heroes, all the female Bodhisattvas... please be proud of your kindness... We haven't eaten for three or four days... We are all poor people without a home... We usually go to the town to beg for food, pretend to be a ghost here at night, and have a place where you can sleep. Otherwise, the people in the town will not allow us to live here and drive us away. There is really no way for everyone... Give up your life! Give up your life..."

Everyone was shocked and suddenly realized, and looked at the ghosts incredibly. The little swallow was afraid that as soon as her heart was removed, she felt sympathy and asked with wide eyes:

"Have you not eaten for many days? Have you not eaten anything? Really?"

A female ghost crawled over, holding a child in her hand, kneeling and bowing to everyone:

"Not! I'm cold and hungry, the child is sick again, and I'm about to die... Girl! Please be fine... and give me a bite of food!"

Ziwei turned around and shouted:

"Jinsuo! Isn't there any dry food on our carriage? Come and get it, and bring some of the medicinal materials, and bring some of them, and bring a few unused clothes, and... I also bring two quilts..."

"Yes!" Jin Zuo walked out.

"I'll accompany you to get it!" Liu Qing said, illuminating Jin Zuo with a torch.

The ghosts were overjoyed and all crawled over, knelt all over the ground, and kowtowed like pounding garlic:

"Male Bodhisattva! Female Bodhisattva! Living Bodhisattva! Emperor Heaven Bodhisattva! Life-saving Bodhisattva!"

As a result, everyone moved the rice, dry food, quilts, clothes on the car into the dilapidated temple.

After a while, a raging firewood had already grown in the temple. A pot of fragrant rice was boiled on the firewood. The beggars sat around the fire, all of them covered with clothes of Xiaoyanzi and others, and they were eating dry food in their mouths. Two quilts covered several elderly people and children.
