Chapter 196 News

This person is Aji.

Ah Ji didn't ride a horse, horses are valuable goods, without Jiang Xianwei accompanying him, riding a horse on this country trail is too eye-catching.

He didn't drive a mule cart either. Instead, he changed out of his daytime brocade robe, dressed in coarse cloth and carried a sack, dressed like a farmer, and walked towards Dafeng Village.

When he was approaching Dafeng Village, he didn't enter the village immediately, but hid in a forest with new leaves. He didn't come out of the forest until he was about to hide, took a small path, and came to Qin's house.

Knock knock knock, knock~

Aji knocked on the door of Qin's courtyard.

In the main room, the grandparents and grandchildren of the Qin family had been waiting for him for a long time. Hearing three long knocks and one short knock on the door, Qin Erlang was overjoyed and said in a low voice, "It's the secret code of the frontier army."

The Northwest Frontier Army has its own codes, and one of them is three long and one short.

If they encounter unknown soldiers during a surprise attack at night, they will make three long and one short sounds. If the response is opposite, that is, one long and three short, it proves that they are their own.

Elder Qin was not so reassured, and said in a low voice: "Anyone who has conducted a surprise attack in the Northwest Frontier Army knows this secret code. It is not new. Don't let your guard down. Wait until he comes in and see what he will do."

Qin Sanlang nodded: "Grandpa is right."

Then he said to Qin Lao and Qin Erlang: "I'll open the door, grandpa and second brother will do as agreed."

Hearing this, Qin Erlang turned around and went into the back room, laying in ambush first, ready to attack immediately if something went wrong.

As the negotiator and prober, Mr. Qin stayed in the main room and waited.

Qin Sanlang opened the door, walked to the courtyard door, looked out through the crack of the door, and saw that there was only one person standing at the door, he pulled the plug of the courtyard door and opened the courtyard door.

A Ji smiled at Qin Sanlang, and said to him: "Don't worry, only A Ji came alone, there is no other person."

Saying that, he walked straight towards the main room.

Qin Sanlang didn't believe A Ji's words, he hid a dagger in his sleeve, followed A Ji closely, and entered the main room with him.

A Ji glanced at the main room, did not see Qin Erlang, did not pay attention, but bowed to Old Qin: "Junior A Ji, I have met Old General He."

This Old General He can be regarded as a legend. He was born as a domestic slave, but because he went to the battlefield with his master's family and made great achievements in battle, he was able to get out of his family and was named a general.

Originally, I thought that I would be able to continue to be prominent in this life, but it is a pity that I lost my son in middle age, and when I was old, the adopted son's family and the former master's family were all punished.

"He old general Gao Yi, Aji admires him."

General He could have stayed out of the matter, but for the sake of his adopted son's family and the former master's family, he feigned death on the battlefield and fled with the children of the two families.

Elder Qin looked at Aji and said, "You have misunderstood the man. The old man's surname is Qin. He is a mud-legged man, not a general."

A Ji smiled: "Old General He, you don't have to be so guarded, A Ji came here on his own behalf and has nothing to do with the Ning family."

"What do you mean?" Elder Qin frowned and looked at Ning Ji.

There was a rebellious young son in the Ning family. After Mrs. Ning died, he left the Ning family and went out to travel. After Da Chu was visited by him, he went to live in Dayong for a few years, and finally formed a caravan with others. Da Chu started a business with Dayong.

There have always been wars between Da Chu and Da Rong, and old man Ning was very angry at what this young son did.

But old man Ning has always loved this youngest son, even if this youngest son did something ridiculous, old man Ning would not be willing to drive him out of the house, and A Ji would go back to Ning's house to visit old man Ning every year.

The relationship between their father and son is not as bad as the outside world thinks, so Mr. Qin dare not believe his words easily.

Aji smiled and said: "Old General He, you don't have to be so afraid. Aji said that he is only here on behalf of himself, and has nothing to do with the Ning family or my father. And Aji came here this time just to give you three news, nothing else."

"What news?" Qin Erlang couldn't bear it anymore, he walked out from the back room, stared at A Ji and asked, "Is there any news from the British government?"

When Qin Sanlang and Qin Lao saw him coming out, their faces were very ugly. Why is he so impulsive every time? !

A Ji ignored the lawsuit between their 'grandfather and grandson', and his smile deepened when he heard this, and said: "Yes, one of the news is about the British government."

"Speak quickly!" Qin Erlang couldn't wait for a moment, and urged Aji: "Is the British government safe? Does the emperor blame their family?"

The third lady of the British government had made an engagement with him. Although the two were not married yet, the emperor was a small-hearted man, and he was ruthless. If he offended the British government because of this marriage, he would be a sinner.

Seeing Qin Erlang's anxious look, Aji's smile became a little unpredictable, and he said to Qin Sanlang behind him: "Young Lord, put away the dagger first, Aji doesn't have any weapons on him, and his skills are not as good as yours, you You don’t need to keep pointing the dagger at the back of Ning’s neck.”

Qin Sanlang didn't speak, nor did he put away the dagger in his hand.

Seeing this, A Ji had no choice but to pick up the conversation just now, and said to Qin Erlang: "Miss San has already entered the palace and has become a Yu concubine."

Therefore, you don't have to think about the British government anymore, and you don't have to think about the third lady anymore. The British government has already sold their house in order to protect themselves.

"What did you say?!" Qin Erlang's eyes were about to burst, he rushed over and grabbed A Ji's lapel, and said angrily: "Nonsense and overbearing, this is impossible! The eldest lady of the British government is already a concubine Shu, who is in the same government." , it is impossible to send the two concubine ladies into the palace."

Two sisters serving one husband together, wouldn't it make people laugh to death?

Aji was not angry, and let Qin Erlang grab his skirt, and said slowly: "Three months ago, Concubine Shu died of dystocia."

And he also got a piece of news, that is, as early as five months ago, the British government decided to send the third lady to the palace.

The third lady is engaged to Qin Erlang, and only by sending her into the palace to serve the Holy Majesty can the attitude of the British government be shown.

But seeing Qin Erlang's angry appearance, he didn't tell him the news, lest he couldn't stand the excitement.

"What's the second news?" Qin Sanlang asked behind A Ji.

Aji's smile this time is brighter: "The second is the good news, there are people from both your prefectures who survived, and now, like you, they have been hidden."

"Who has survived?!" Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang were very excited. It's great that there are still people alive in their two families.

But A Ji shook his head: "This matter is too secretive, I just got wind of it, as for who survived, I don't know yet."

"However, it should be an uncle of the two of you."

If some unworthy women survived, the emperor would not be furious, let alone order two families of men over 30 years old to be hunted down.

"It's good if you can survive, it's good if you can survive." Qin Lao said with a choked voice, no matter who survived, as long as there is still life.
