Chapter 457 Windfall

The matter of Xuanyuan Fen involved multiple levels of forces because it involved Empress Yin. Although they had already done a lot behind the scenes, they couldn't easily announce it.

But in order not to disappoint Xuanyuanfen completely, Wei Qingluan could only encourage her through Bitao.

In the end, it was more convincing for Xuanyuanche, the prince, to say something that he would not let go of, than Wei Qingluan, who was a commoner.

Standing in front of the window on the third floor of Fuman Building, watching Bi Tao's car go farther and farther, Wei Qingluan sighed softly, and said, "Brother Shi should come back, too?"

At this time, Shi Yunqing, who was being read by Wei Qingluan, was sitting in a hotel in a small town near the Northwest Frontier Army Camp.Behind him were two brothers Shi Ping and Shi An.

When going out, Shi Yunqing only brought Shi Ping with him, and Shi An caught up later.

Of course, the hotels in the frontier fortress cannot be compared with those in the capital.This is already the largest and best restaurant in Heishui Town, and it only has two floors.

At this time, Shi Yunqing's master and servant disguised as a businessman was sitting in a relatively clean and bright place on the second floor.If Xuanyuan Che and Wei Qingluan suddenly saw the three of them, they would not be able to recognize them soon.

Shi Yunqing's complexion was slightly dark at this time, and at first glance he looked like a rather inconspicuous middle-aged man in his forties who was wandering around.Shi Ping disguised himself as a loyal servant in his thirties, accompanying him around.And Shi An, who was not a few years younger than Shi Ping, was still seventeen or eighteen years old, but his complexion was dark, and he looked like he was used to physical labor.

The capital city is already in spring and flowers are blooming, but although there is already a breath of spring in the northwest, it is still warm and cold from morning to night.So at this time they are wearing cotton robes similar to the people here, and they really look a bit like the people who have lived here all year round.

In front of them were local specialties, a large plate of beef and mutton, a large bowl of spirits, and two plates of vegetables.

When Shi Yun was young, he endured a lot of hardships in the Shi family. When he grew up, he joined the Fourth Prince Xuanyuan Yu and traveled northeast and west on his behalf.So although the conditions in the northwest were difficult, he didn't care.

But during the time I came here, I ate beef and mutton every day, which should be the most yearning life for those poor people.But for Shi Yunqing and others who were used to living in the capital before, it was too monotonous and greasy.

These two plates of green vegetables were bought by Shi Ping at a great price and asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant to find them. It is said that he found them from a place hundreds of miles away.

Not much, but it's finally giving my master a change of taste.

It is not yet noon, and there are not many customers in the restaurant.

This was originally the best restaurant in Heishui Town, and most of the people were arranged on the first floor by the shop assistants. Shi Yunqing and the three of them were invited upstairs because they spent too much money.

At this time, after Xiaoer brought up the last dish and left, Shi Yunqing motioned Shi Ping and Shi An brothers to prepare to eat together.

They have been here for nearly 20 days, and the three of them can be considered to have a good understanding of Xue Jiajun's situation here.

Xue Datong is stationed here, and the reputation is still very good.Even Xue Qi was praised by ordinary people with thumbs up.

But judging from the reaction of the soldiers and civilians here, not only did Xue Qi not have any bad habits, he was even considered excellent.

This is completely different from previous expectations.It can only be said that if they hadn't estimated wrong at the time, it would be that Xue Qi's city mansion was deep.

There is another thing, that is, the marriage between Xue Qi and Xuanyuan Fen, which was already known to women and children in the capital, seems to be unknown here.

Although Shi Yunqing's trip to the northwest this time cannot be used as all the evidence for them to help Xuanyuanfen, if they can't obtain evidence that Xue Qi is unfavorable, then they really have to consider how to operate it.

After all, Xuanyuanfen's marriage to Xue Qi is not considered too low.

Frowning, thinking that if they found nothing, they would have to go back to Beijing, Shi Yunqing secretly sighed.

When the food for the three of them was almost finished, they suddenly heard the voices of the shop assistants greeting the guests below, and then with the sound of the stairs, it was obvious that these people were going to the second floor to eat.

The three of them looked at each other, and then saw the waiter in the restaurant nodding and bowing, leading several officers and soldiers in armor walking up.

During this period of time, in order to inquire about the news inside the Xue family army, Shi An got in with a businessman who delivered vegetables to the garrison all the year round, and also went in and out of the military camp several times.

Seeing those officers and soldiers at this time, Shi An couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He really knew two of these people, so he said to Shi Yunqing in a low voice: "Master, these people should be Xue Qi's subordinates." Soldiers." Although he didn't have a relationship with the Xue family army before, he remembered some people in his heart.

When he heard Xue Qi's name, Shi Yunqing's heart was shocked, but his face remained calm, and he didn't even lift his head.

He naturally knew that there were more troops in Heishui Town than the local people.All the restaurants and shops are the most common here. If ordinary officers and soldiers want to entertain themselves, most of them will go to other places.

Those who can come to this restaurant, especially those who can go up to the second floor, have an extraordinary status.

In particular, some of these people had something to do with Xue Qi, so Shi Yunqing naturally didn't want to provoke him, but it would be great if he could hear what they said about Xue Qi here.

Shi Yunqing remained calm, but the few people who had just come up not only looked at them unscrupulously, but also walked over directly.

Heishui Town is a small frontier town, with foreign aggression and the harsh local climate, the common people generally live in hardship.Even when merchants from other places come, they are cautious, and they will not easily come to such a place to eat.

Although Xue Datong is strict in running the army and forbids his subordinates to take by force, there are always some officers and soldiers who refuse to abide by it.

Besides, some officers and soldiers with little power feel that the two sides are mutually beneficial.Those who have money don't care about the money they give away, and those who have no money don't care about it.

At this time, among the several officers and soldiers, a somewhat feminine-looking man first looked carefully at the two plates of green vegetables on Shi Yunqing's table, and then he couldn't help but pick up the corners of his mouth.

The price of these two dishes can be worth all the meat on the table, I really met the right person.

Shi Yunqing didn't say a word, Shi Ping and Shi An brothers didn't think about it at first.

But when he saw a few officers and soldiers standing not far away looking at him, Shi An glanced at his master, then stood up, smiled at the feminine man in front of him and said, "Liu Jun Grandpa, are you coming over for dinner too?"
