Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 162 The Return
At Qi's house, a middle-aged man with a disappointed face walked through the yard. Even if there were people sitting in the wide yard, he walked away absent-mindedly as if he hadn't noticed it.

"Father, you're back." A clear voice sounded, and it also carried the strong and bloody spirit of having been on the battlefield.

I saw a man with a handsome face and sharp edges and corners who had just finished his sword practice and was wiping the sweat from his face with a carefree and open-minded smile on his face.Seeing the middle-aged man walk by, he shouted.

But Qi Dai walked straight towards the study as if he didn't hear it.

"Father, what's the matter? You seem to have lost your soul." The handsome man put down the towel in his hand and said.

A gentle and elegant man sitting on the stone bench sighed and said: "I don't know, since my father attended the birthday banquet at the Qin Palace a few days ago, he has been out of his mind."

"The birthday banquet of the King of Qin?" The handsome man sighed regretfully, "I heard that at the birthday banquet, the King of Qin brought out all the fruit wine that the Holy Majesty rewarded. If I had known that I would have gone there, the court fruit wine is very rare. It's rich."

The elegant man couldn't help laughing, "Second brother, what should you do about your military affairs? If your father finds out that you don't do military affairs and go drinking privately, he will definitely scold you again."

Qi Che was speechless for a while, covering his head in distress, "Brother, you are right. If dad finds out, I will definitely be scolded." He is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid that Qi Dai will scold him again He, it seems that he has no fate with court fruit wine.

"You don't have to be so distressed. Didn't the Holy One reward you with a few bottles of fruit wine a few days ago? You can just ask Dad." Qi Ji picked up the book in his hand and said indifferently.

"Cut, come on." Qi Che crossed his chest and said with an expression of displeasure, "Father is holding on to those bottles of fruit wine all day and is reluctant to let go, but I want to come out."

"It's good that you know, so don't think about it." Qi Ji flipped a page of the book and said, "Or, you can wait for the next time His Royal Highness King Qin's birthday, the Holy Majesty will reward some fruit wine, and you can go to the birthday banquet It's over." Then he looked up at the handsome man, "But the premise is that you have to finish the military affairs, don't wait another day to do it."

"Cough, cough." Qi Che clenched his fists and coughed a few times in embarrassment, "No, big brother, those military affairs are really boring, so it's better to practice swords more. The four countries have also been calm in recent years, and there is no need to go out to fight, just idle boring."

"Pfft-"

A woman's charming smile came, and a soft and graceful woman came slowly, with a gentle and quiet voice, "Second brother, don't you need to fight? If there is a war, I don't know how many refugees will be displaced." Well, it’s not something that can be covered by the word boring.”

"I know, sister-in-law, don't you have nothing to do." Qi Che insisted, "A few months ago, King Qin led troops to attack Southern Chu. In fact, I wanted to follow at that time, but who knew that King Qin directly led The army was out of town, and I didn't even have a chance to prepare."

Seeing He Jieying approaching, Qi Ji hurriedly got up to support her, "Jieying, come, sit here."

He Jieying smiled slightly, and sat opposite Qi Ji.

"However, I heard that His Royal Highness King Qin came back soon. The city of Nanchu was returned in this way, and he brought a Mrs. Ze back to the palace. I heard that Mrs. Ze was beautiful, elegant and refined, especially She has an incomparable temperament, and is even favored by His Royal Highness the King of Qin." He Jieying laughed softly.

"Madame Ze?" Qi Ji was a little puzzled, "But that woman who was so gorgeous and wore a veil at the birthday banquet?"

"Yes, you can be so outstanding wearing a veil. If you take off the veil, who would be such a peerless beauty?" He Jieying responded.

"Bringing back a Mrs. Ze? Could it be that His Highness the King of Qin went to the border just to bring Mrs. Ze back?" Qi Che thought for a while, "No wonder the city was returned. It seems that the attack on Nanchu was false, so bring back Mrs. Ze Talent is real."

"This...maybe, after all, heroes are saddened by beauty." He Jieying responded after thinking for a moment.

"Let's stop guessing. How can we understand His Highness King Qin's thoughts? Using the war between the two countries as an excuse to bring back a woman seems a bit unbelievable. After all, Mrs. Ze and King Qin have never met before." Come on, bring a strange woman back, I'm afraid no one can do it, it should be just a coincidence." Qi Ji shook his head and said.

When Qi Che and He Jieying heard this, they also nodded.This is indeed unreasonable, and the King of Qin has always played his cards out of common sense, and his mind is really not something that can be guessed at will.

At this moment, the voice of an angry and charming woman sounded, and even the birds on the tree flew away in shock.

"Qi Qi, stop me, you dare to use the clothes I bought from Yayunzhu as fishing lines. You bastard, do you know that this dress of mine is the newest style of this year, the latest style." The woman gritted her teeth, Repeat the words.

I saw a lively and cheerful woman holding the clothes in her hand and chasing a jumping boy.

The boy ran forward in fear, looked at the woman behind him from time to time, and shouted: "Second brother, save me, second sister-in-law is going to beat me." As he spoke, he quickly hid behind Qi Che.

The woman ran over quickly, pointed at the young man behind Qi Che, gritted her teeth and said, "You bastard, get out of here, you dare to tear my clothes, you are dead today." Her hearty personality and delicate appearance are not against harmony at all, and it even complements the woman's informal character.

Facing the woman's vulgar words, Qi Che was no longer surprised, so he could only stop the woman and said helplessly: "Wei Wei, isn't it just a piece of clothing? It's a big deal and just buy another piece of clothing later."

Wu Weiwei raised the clothes in his hands, with an aggrieved and resentful expression, he said: "This is the latest model of Yayunzhu this year, this is the only one, so there is no way to buy another one. I spent a lot of money to buy it back then. I haven’t even worn it once.” Then pointing to Qi Qi, “But this kid is lucky, he even took the thread off my dress and made it a fishing line. I planned to buy this dress and wear it for you to see, but who? Knowing that I didn't wear it once, I was torn to pieces by this kid. Tell me, how can I not be angry?" Wu Weiwei punched Qi Che's chest a few times in aggrieved manner.

As soon as Qi Che heard it, he knew that Wu Weiwei bought it for him to wear, although he didn't see any difference in Wu Weiwei's changing so many dresses.But at this time, he must vent his anger on his woman.

"Bastard, what are you doing tearing up your second sister-in-law's clothes? Can't you use other lines to make fishing lines? I want to use the thread from the clothes." Qi Che turned around and hit Qi Qi on the head and said.

Qi Qi covered his little head, and said in a muffled voice: "Isn't it because there was no other thread at hand at that time, and seeing that the thread on the clothes was just right, and it was just right for making fishing line, so I took it apart. Who knew it was the second sister-in-law Newly bought clothes." Otherwise, he wouldn't take them apart no matter what.

"...What are you making fishing lines for?" Qi Che tilted his head and said helplessly.

"Fishing." Qi Qi replied without hesitation, "A few days ago, I found a lake in the woods, and there were a lot of fish in it. You also know that there are very few lakes in Yingjing. Let's go fishing together."

In fact, there are still many artificially dug lakes in Yingjing City, and there must be lakes in every aristocratic family.But after all, it was dug out by people, and it is not as beautiful as a natural lake.So Qi Qi was very excited when he saw the natural lake, and quickly made an appointment with Zhou Xi to go fishing together.

But in Qi's mansion, Qi Qi didn't find a fishing rod for a while, so he simply made one by himself, and saw that the thread on the skirt next to him was just right, so he took it apart.

Qi Che only felt a headache for a while, "What fish are you going to catch?"

"Fishing is so fun, second brother, don't tell me, I caught fish." Qi Qi said proudly.

"Really? What about the fish?"

"You ate it." Qi Qi immediately responded, "Isn't the fish soup you drank that night made from the fish I caught?" Then he smacked his lips, "That fish soup tastes really good." Qi Che's expression changed instantly.

"Well, Wei Wei, listen to my explanation." Qi Che turned around and looked at the anxious woman, and said hastily.But before he could explain, he was hit by the woman with the dress in her hand.

Qi Che had no choice but to use his hands to resist the woman's anger, sighed, turned around and said, "Third Brother, Second Brother can't protect you anymore, you can go."

"Second brother, you..." Qi Qi still wanted to speak, but when he saw Wu Weiwei running over directly, he hurried to Qi Ji's direction.

"Brother, hurry up and save your third brother."

But before he reached the place, he was stopped by Qi Ji. "Third brother, the elder brother also wants to help with this matter, but the elder brother is really powerless. Why don't you let the second younger sibling hit him a few times. The second younger sibling is gentle by nature, so he won't hit hard."

Wu Weiwei?Gentle by nature?If he was really gentle by nature, would he still come to beat him?Brother, your reasoning is too far-fetched.

"Brother, do you still want Liu Qing's paintings?" Qi Qi tried to take out his chips.

Not only Zhou Xi, but also his elder brother admired Liu Qing's paintings.It's a pity that the painting was taken away by the boss of Wen Moxuan, and it is an extravagant hope for others to see it.

Sure enough, it worked, Qi Ji's eyes lit up first, then he realized after a while, and asked: "The third brother has already got the paintings?" Said to buy it back.

The boy immediately wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, and shook his head, "No."

This was also expected, Qi Ji smiled and nodded, flipping through the book in his hand as if no one else was there.

"But I can buy it right away. Wait until the third brother goes to Wenmoxuan tomorrow and bring more people. I see if the boss dares to kick this young master out." Qi Qi hurriedly bluffed.

But the man still looked at the book calmly, as if he didn't hear it.

There was really no other way, so Qi Qi had no choice but to ask for help. Looking at the soft woman next to her, she opened her star eyes and begged, "Sister-in-law, you are the best for me, and you will definitely help me, right?"

He Jieying just smiled awkwardly and didn't speak.

At this time, Wu Weiwei also ran over, glared at Qi Qi and said, "Jieying, don't help him. This bastard dared to tear my clothes. Today I will never end with him."

Seeing Qi Qi's pleading eyes, He Jieying smiled slightly, "Wei Wei, remember to be gentle."

"Ah? Sister-in-law." Qi Qi was a little desperate, why didn't the sister-in-law help him.

Wu Weiwei also smiled slightly, "No problem, I will definitely be lighter." At the end, she was still staring at Qi Qi, and was about to catch up with her.

Qi Qi had no choice but to run forward desperately.

At this time, the door of the main room opened, and a hearty and capable middle-aged woman came out from the inside. She had the shrewd and capable features of a perennial butler in her eyes.Frowning, he shouted, "Why is it so noisy? What happened?"

"Mother, you have come to save my son, and my second sister-in-law is going to beat me." Qi Qi immediately said aggrievedly to the middle-aged woman, crying.

But Wu Weiwei was even more aggrieved. Before the middle-aged woman could express her opinion, she said with a flat mouth: "Mother, the third brother tore up the clothes I bought from Yayunzhu. This is the latest model of Yayunzhu this year. I Never worn it once."

As soon as Mrs. Qi heard it, she yelled at Qi Qi loudly: "Is what Wei Wei said true? Did you tear Wei Wei's clothes?"

"I... I was not careful." Qi Qi stopped crying and said with a guilty look, dodging his eyes.

"You dare to tear a woman's clothes, don't you know that dresses are very important to women? It is the latest model of Yayunzhu, so you should beat it." Mrs. Qi reprimanded, "Wei Wei, don't worry, you are a good mother Help you calm down, they dare not help." As he spoke, he looked at the other people in the yard.

Qi Ji and the others hurriedly lowered their heads, they had no intention of helping.

Qi Qi is really going to cry now, whose mother are you, it's fine if you don't help your son, but you even let the eldest brother and the others not help.

"Don't worry, mother." Wu Weiwei smiled obediently, then gritted his teeth and stared at the boy, "I will definitely not be able to beat him to death."

Seeing the woman chasing after him, the young man's heart skipped a beat, so he lifted his feet and ran out to escape for his life.

"Really, this kid Qi Qi just doesn't deserve a beating. He knows how to go out to play all day long, and he doesn't study hard to take the imperial examination." Madam Qi said angrily looking at her third son who was not up to date.

Seeing Mrs. Qi walking down the steps slowly, Qi Ji and the others quickly stood up and saluted, "Mother."

"Hmm." Madam Qi looked around the yard, wondering, "Why didn't you see the baby's father, where did the master go?"

Qi Ji looked at the location of the study and replied: "Father is in the study and has not come out."

"Why is he in the study? I don't usually see him staying in the study well. He went to the military camp all day. Why did he change his mind today?" Mrs. Qi also looked in the direction of the study and smiled lightly.

"I don't know, Dad has been like this since he came back from Prince Qin's mansion. He shut himself in the study all day long and never came out to eat." He Jieying said worriedly.

"You still don't want to eat?" Madam Qi sighed, "You guys go back first, I'll go and have a look."

"Yes, mother." After speaking, everyone left.

Mrs. Qi walked slowly to the door of the study, pushed the door open and entered, looked at the decadent Qi Dai inside, and asked, "Why have you locked yourself in the study these days without eating? The children are worried about you Woolen cloth."

Qi Dai didn't hold Madam Qi accountable as she entered the room without knocking, as if she was used to it.After a while, he raised his head and sighed, "Madam, do you remember Qi Yun?"

"Qi Yun?" Madam Qi couldn't help muttering.

Of course she remembered Qi Yun, wasn't it a mighty general sent by Nanchu when Beishuo had been attacking Nanchu.Because Qi Dai has always been brave and good at fighting, he has never met an opponent.But this Qi Yun was an accident. In the first battle, Qi Dai fell into a trap because he didn't realize it for a while, and he was defeated. This was also Qi Dai's first defeat.

From then on, Qi Dai couldn't let go of the hurdle in his heart. Anyone who attacked Nan Chu would take the initiative to invite Ying, and he must defeat this Qi Yun.But the facts are always contrary to people's wishes. Although Qi Dai has also won in the past, it is more often a draw between the two. There are wins and losses. This fight lasts for several years.

Since the two have the same surname, it is inevitable that they will be compared.It is said that Qi Dai from the Qi family in Beishuo and Qi Yun from the Qi family in Nanchu met, and the two were evenly matched on the battlefield.However, more than ten years ago, Qi Yun died inexplicably in a battle.

Although Qi Dai should be happy that his opponent is dead, but he feels more lonely than happy.It was not easy to meet an opponent. After years of fighting, the two had already forged a deeper friendship than their opponents.They are enemies, but they are also friends who understand each other.

After Qi Yun's death, Qi Dai began to collapse, and no longer led the army to attack Southern Chu.It happened that the four countries were peaceful at that time, and Emperor Yuanping also ordered to rest and recuperate, and no longer provoke wars.

Qi Dai has always missed the heroic appearance of the man in silver robe and armor on the battlefield, but unfortunately he will never see him again.

"Didn't Qi Yun die more than ten years ago?" Mrs. Qi couldn't help asking.

"Yes, but a few days ago, I met a person who looks very similar to him, especially those eyes." Qi Dai couldn't help sighing and reminiscing, "It's just that that person is a woman."

"Since you are a woman, what are you still investigating? Don't starve to death." Madam Qi worried.

But Qi Dai seemed to be stuck in the memory all the time, and murmured: "How could he die? Obviously, he was about to win against me. If I didn't happen to know the map of Nanchu's military defense, I wouldn't have won." he."

"People are dead, what else do you want to do? Could it be that that woman has something to do with Qi Yun?" Madam Qi comforted casually.

"Relationship?" Qi Dai was taken aback, "That's right, if they look so similar, there must be a relationship."

"What are you thinking?" Madam Qi couldn't help but chuckle, "Qi Yun is from Southern Chu. If that woman really has something to do with Qi Yun, she should also be from Southern Chu. How could a person from Southern Chu come to Beishuo?"

Qi Dai's eyes dimmed for a moment, he lowered his head and did not speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qi could only sigh: "In your heart, what kind of person do you think Qi Yun is?"

The middle-aged man kept his head down and said nothing. After a while, he raised his head firmly and said, "He is a respectable general."

Finally, in the Qin Palace, Qi Ze received a letter from Zhu Yu Cang Zhu, saying that they had arrived at the designated inn.

Qi Ze was overjoyed, so he walked out the door and left.Because Tang Tang was taking a nap, Qi Ze walked out of the room carefully and quietly.Originally, he wanted to say goodbye to Que Yu, but Que Yu was busy with official business in the palace at this time and rarely returned to the palace.He could only sigh and say goodbye to Butler Kong.

Steward Kong looked at Qi Ze reluctantly, and said after a while, "Miss Ze is leaving now? Don't you want to stay in the palace for a while?"

"No, I need to rush back to Nanchu right now, thank you Steward Kong for taking care of me these past few months." Qi Ze refused.

"You're welcome, this is what old slaves should do." Butler Kong cupped his hands and said, "Ms. Ze won't wait for the prince to come back, but will she go back after seeing the prince?"

"That's why I came to say goodbye to Steward Kong. I hope Steward Kong will convey it to His Highness King Qin, so I won't wait for him." Qi Ze said.

"Okay." Steward Kong sighed, "Miss Ze, be careful on the road."

Qi Ze nodded slightly, then walked towards the gate of the palace and left.

When he finally arrived at the inn, Qi Ze went straight to the agreed room, ignoring the surprised look of the waiter in the inn and his appearance about to speak.

After opening the door, Qi Ze walked in, but was greeted by Zhu Yu Cangzhu's surprised and dull eyes.

Cang Zhu looked at her for a while, then said, "Girl, who are you looking for?"

Qi Ze: "..." In the past few months, I've gotten used to wearing dresses, and I'm used to the life of going away at will, but I forgot that she was wearing women's clothing.

Because Qi Ze put on a veil when he went out, the two of them didn't recognize each other.

Seeing that Qi Ze didn't speak, the two of them kept staring at the eyes exposed in front of them, and they felt very familiar.

"Zhu Yu, do you think these eyes look familiar?" Cang Zhu expressed his emotion after looking back and forth several times.

Zhu Yu also looked at it carefully several times, and said uncertainly, "...Master?"

Seeing Qi Ze take off his veil, revealing a familiar face.Although they had the same face, they unexpectedly fit together after wearing women's clothing, and those cold eyes remained unchanged at all.

After being stunned for a moment, Cang Zhu said, "It's really the master. Master, why are you wearing women's clothes? Although it looks good in women's clothes."

Qi Ze: "..."

"You want to wear it too?" Qi Ze walked to Cang Zhu's side, and sneered with a sideways glance.

"No...I don't want to." Cang Zhu broke out in a cold sweat instantly, the look in his eyes was definitely the master's fault. "The subordinates definitely don't look as good-looking as the master." Then he said the truth.

Qi Ze: "..." Although Cang Zhu was right, she couldn't be happy at all.

Zhu Yu took a closer look at the waist that was obviously a woman's curve, and his eyes concealed deep meaning.

"Is everything ready?" Qi Ze asked coldly.

"It's all ready, master. We can set off immediately and arrive in Southern Chu soon." Zhu Yu replied respectfully.

"Did you find anything unusual on the way you were looking for? For example, the mark was moved." Qi Ze carefully looked at the expressions of the two of them.

But both of them shook their heads, "No."

Is that because she is overthinking?But she still believed in Zhu Yu Cangzhu's ability to handle affairs. How could it be half a month behind her plan for no reason?When asked about Que Yu, the other party also denied it.So what's the matter?

Forget it, I'm going back anyway, what to do with so many thoughts.

Qi Ze nodded slightly, and was about to walk out the door, but stopped suddenly to touch his empty purse, and forgot to take the money when he came out.

"Do you have any money with you?" Qi Ze asked expressionlessly.

"Bring it." Zhu Yu replied.

"Go buy a set of men's clothes." Qi Ze ordered.

"Yes." Zhu Yu retreated to buy men's clothing.

Zhu Yu has always been efficient in handling affairs, including this time, he directly bought a set of men's clothing in indigo brocade.After delivering the clothes to Qi Ze, he grabbed Cang Zhu's neck and pulled them out.Cang Zhu didn't react for a while, and could only yell "Ai Ai".

After Qi Ze changed his clothes, he found that they fit very well, a little smaller than ordinary men's clothes.It seems that Zhu Yu already knew her identity as a woman, otherwise she would not have bought small men's clothes.Anyway, Zhu Yu didn't plan to say it, so let it be, the identity of a woman cannot be kept after all.

After going out, the three of them boarded the carriage back to Nanchu.After staying in Beishuo for nearly four months, I can finally go back.

In Prince Qin's residence, Que Yu also came back.Seeing Steward Kong's eyes about to speak, the young man was not surprised at all, and smiled lightly, "The little girl is gone?"

"Yes."

"Forget it, she has to leave after all, and this king can't stop her." Que Yu shook his head and sighed.

She has her own life, suitable for soaring in the vast blue sky, he cannot imprison her, nor can she imprison her.He can delay time by moving markers, but he can't imprison her no matter what.

In the courtyard of the Wangfu, Tang Tang looked at the gate of the Wangfu, her mouth was flattened and she wanted to cry, her eyes were full of reluctance.

Steward Kong from behind slowly approached, "Tangtang, do you miss Miss Ze? You don't want Miss Ze to leave?"

Candy hurriedly cried and nodded.

The kind old man gently wiped away the tears from the little girl's face, and said softly, "Grandpa doesn't want to either, but Miss Danzie will leave eventually."

The little girl pouted and cried even more fiercely.

But the old man smiled lovingly, hugged the little girl into his arms, and looked at the flamboyant young man in purple in the corridor.

"Don't worry, Miss Ze will come back, we have to trust the prince."
