Chapter 115 Suspicion
Hearing that Jiao Niang said that she wanted to avenge Tuoba Pojun, Yao Yu was taken aback.Jiao Niang, a weak woman, went to assassinate Tuoba Tao, which undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg.

Yao Yu hurriedly stopped him, "Your status is special, and if you are found out, it will be a capital offense! Tuoba Pojun just wanted to exchange his death for your peace, if you cast yourself into a trap, how would you let him rest in peace? Are you willing to let it go?"

"Don't worry, after so many years in the palace, I have plenty of ways and connections. I will definitely make Tuoba Tao pay a worse price than my general. As for Zhong'er," Jiao Niang said with heartache and reluctance in her eyes, "others think that The fire was the emperor's intention, but the emperor himself knew that it was not the case, so he would not give up on the investigation. I will stay here and help you find out the news. I can inform you in advance so that you can plan ahead.”

"Have you decided?"

Jiao Niang nodded, with a hint of despair in her eyes, "Actually, it's hard for men to understand what women want..."

Yao Yu looked down at Zhong'er, the child had been silent since just now, his mouth was pursed, his eyes were stretched out, and he was holding back his tears.Yao Yu suddenly felt that Zhong'er was more pitiful than when she was a child. Although she was locked in the underground palace, at least her parents were still alive.

Jiaoniang leaned over and took Zhong'er into her arms, exhorting her heart like a knife, "Son, I know you don't want to recognize me. But you are my mother's heart. Mother doesn't want you to live for revenge in this life, So mother will avenge your father's revenge. Mother only wishes you to grow up well and safely, not to honor your ancestors, but to be worthy of your surname."

After arranging the way of meeting, Yao Yu went back to the inn alone, and stayed in a daze until dawn with his eyes open.

Ten days later, Qin Zhongzhi, who had finished sending Liu Yilong to the customs, brought people into Wei to receive the invite rain and return home.On the surface, everyone is preparing for the funeral of Tuoba Pojun, but secretly, Qin Zhongzhi has been arranging to send Tuoba Zhong out of the city.

"Girl, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult." Qin Zhongzhi went inside to report when he returned to the inn today, before he had time to take a sip of water. "The garrison of each city gate has been ordered by the emperor. Underage children, regardless of gender, are not allowed to leave the city. The goods of the caravan must also be shipped separately, and the size of the barrels must be less than one foot. Unless we cut the bell , otherwise it wouldn’t be able to fit it. It’s cheap, and the seller of bamboo baskets, it’s said that they paid a lot of money.”

When Qin Zhongzhi said this, there was a commotion in the cage at Yaoyu's feet.Zhong'er had been hiding inside for several days, now that he heard that there was no hope of leaving the city, he suddenly panicked!
Yao Yu raised his leg and kicked the box, and shouted in a low voice, "What the hell!" Seeing that there was no sound in the box, he hurried to think about it.Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Zhongzhi's smile, and kicked him when he went up, snorting, "Damn fox, you still hide your ideas!"

Qin Zhongzhi staggered from being kicked, Yao didn't feel pain, so he rubbed his butt on purpose and said, "I have a point, but I'm afraid...someone won't like it." After he finished speaking, Fushen whispered in Yaoyu's ear A few words.

Listening to this, Yao Yu couldn't help but laugh, looked at the box at his feet from the corner of the eye, resisted the urge to laugh, and said, "What is real is empty, and what is empty is real. good idea."

Qin Zhongzhi bowed bluntly, "Girl's praise."

In the next few days, the Renyazi business in Pingcheng was surprisingly lively.It is rumored in the streets and alleys that the fairy concubine of the country of Qiuchi came to Pingcheng, and was suddenly inspired by the heavens to take a batch of girls back to Qiuchi to be fairy children. worship.

For those daughters of common people, this is a matter of reaching the sky in one step. They no longer need to work hard, look at their father and brother, and no longer need to be sold into the Hou's mansion and served as slaves.

Xiantong is a worshiper of gods, not to mention food and clothing, and his status will be high.The most important thing is the high price. An ordinary five or six-year-old girl is only worth half a bucket of millet when sold to a wealthy family.But Qiu Chi's bid was two buckets of rice!
Rice grows in the south and is located in Pingcheng in the north. It has always been eaten occasionally only by the family of the bell-ringing food tripod.If you really want to replace it with Beisu, that's ten buckets of millet for one bucket of rice!So those who had no intention of selling their sons and daughters also entrusted their daughters to Yazi one after another.

It is said that the person who came to the prime minister was the right prime minister of Qiu Chi country. Although he was a small foreign minister, the common people respected him very much, but they talked about it in private. This prime minister Qiu Chi's appearance is really not very good.When Zhu Rong appeared, everyone's eyes were blocked by the big cloak on Zhu Rong's body, but his figure and walking posture were so strange that he looked like a stranger.So the people in Pingcheng thought, maybe all the people in Qiuchi look like this...

Qiu Chicheng has very high requirements for Xiantong, in addition to the height, circumference, and facial features are even stricter, and finally there is also a requirement for the time of birth.Fortunately, there are a lot of people in Pingcheng, otherwise they would not be able to pick a few after screening them layer by layer.

The last [-] girls left behind were dressed in satin skirts with the same style and color on the right, which looked very pretty at first glance.But if you look closely at these girls, you can't see anything special. If there is any similarity, the twenty girls all have some male features.Since he is serving the gods, the common people will not question it, and only think that this is the appropriate face.

The story of Qiu Chi buying a baby girl at a high price naturally spread to the palace.When Tuoba Tao heard the news, he was enjoying the song and dance accompanied by his concubine Li, he snorted, "Sure enough." He didn't say anything more, he just ordered people to keep an eye on those girls, and none of them were allowed to leave the city.

Soon came the day of the funeral.

Tuoba Pojun was a hero in the hearts of the Xianbei people. On that day, Pingcheng was empty with thousands of lanes, and people all went to the gate of the city to see them off.The emperor also took all the officials to deliver the coffin of Tuoba Pojun on the inner palace tower.In order to commemorate Tuoba's contribution to defeating the army, the emperor authorized the whole country to wear plain clothes on that day, expressing his condolences.

Afraid of being discovered by the emperor's scouts, Zhong'er could only hide in the cage, listening to the funeral drum music passing by outside the inn, Zhong'er, who had not shed tears, bit her little fist hard, crying silently and twitching.

Yao Yu took the twenty girls to watch the coffin at the gate of the city.She raised her eyes to look in the direction of the inner palace, only a shadow of clothes could be seen.She was in a mess, thinking that she should avenge Tuoba Pojun, at least let Zhong Er avenge Tuoba Pojun, but she also felt that Tuoba Pojun was going to die by herself, and Jiaoniang insisted not to put her son in danger.

So in the conflict, Yao Yu felt that he should be annoyed, but he didn't know who to be annoyed, and he was very powerless.The funeral procession went far away, and the crowd dispersed, but Yao Yu still stood there in a daze.

"Xian Ji, let's go back too." Yingyan called softly.

Yao Yu regained consciousness and nodded, the most important thing right now is to bring Zhong Er out of Wei Di.As for the future, let Zhong Er decide for himself.
