The medical concubine devoured the world

Chapter 256
After Zhao Xu comforted the two of them, he had a long talk with Meng Siyin all night long.

Zhao Xu expressed his doubts, and Meng Siyin told Zhao Xu everything that happened in the court.

Only then did he realize that it was Meng Siyin who was jealous of himself these few days.

The next day, Zhao Xu sent someone to send back the princess of the Western Regions on the grounds that the road ahead was unclear and the road was dangerous.

The princess of the Western Regions was crying and unwilling to open it.

Zhao Xu ordered Sang Yan to send the princess of the Western Regions back to the city without stopping, and wrote a letter to the emperor.

I hope that the emperor will choose a good son-in-law for the princess of the Western Regions, he already has a beautiful woman in his heart.

Fifteen days later came the good news of the wedding of the princess of the Western Regions.

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows.

"You can rest assured this time."

Meng Siyin made a grimace, then turned and left.

In the past two days, she usually received a message from the system asking him to go back.

Meng Siyin was looking forward to this day day and night before, but now she is a bit reluctant.

The system prompts that the gate of time and space will close in [-] days, if you don't leave this time, you will stay here for the rest of your life.

Meng Siyin did not tell Zhao Xu this news.

She was by Zhao Xu's side every day.

The situation going south was much worse than originally thought.

Some villages were deserted and many people died in the famine.

Meng Siyin looked at the crying child on the side of the road, and not far away was a hungry dog ​​staring closely with red eyes.

As soon as their large group left, this child must become a meal for hungry wolves.

Looking up at the vultures and crows coiled around the sky, like the god of death, the whole village is shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Meng Siyin was moved with compassion, and turned to Zhao Xu and said, "Why don't you just take this child back."

Zhao Xu frowned slightly. Along the way, they saw countless homeless children. If they took all of them back, would they want to save the rest?

Seeing the child crying hoarsely, Meng Siyin finally carried the child back.

When she came to the county yamen, Meng Siyin saw that the dogs raised by the magistrate were much fatter than the homeless people wandering outside.

Not only did she frown, the wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the road starves to death, that's what she said.

The county magistrate saw Zhao Xu and Meng Siyin calling them by their first names.

Meng Siyin whispered, "Could it be that someone revealed our whereabouts this time?"

Zhao Xu pursed his lips and did not answer Meng Siyin's question.

The person in front of him was far more vicious than what he saw, so he must have been fully prepared.

evening.The magistrate of the county held a reception banquet, and plate after plate of delicacies were brought to the table, but Zhao Xu had no appetite at all.

The child in Meng Siyin's arms stared straight at the various delicacies on the table, and couldn't help swallowing.

She handed the child over to Wan'er to take it down. Everyone understood that tonight was a grand banquet.

According to Meng Siyin and Zhao Xu's investigation, the county magistrate's surname is Liu, and he is a collateral relative of Mr. Liu in the capital.

Mr. Liu was implicated in the case of the Duke's Mansion last time.Although he was demoted, his influence in previous years has not been wiped out, and this person in front of him is one of them.

Back then, Lord Liu and Lord Yuan secretly placed their disciples in various positions. These people had developed themselves over the years and had a certain number of soldiers in their hands.

Meng Siyin has not seen the shadows of these people since entering the door, probably hiding in the dark.

Master Liu glanced at the delicacies on the table and saw that Zhao Xu and Meng Siyin had no intention of eating them. He took two bites with his chopsticks first, and said while eating, "You two don't want to eat, are you afraid that I will be poisoned?"

Master Liu signaled the servants next to him to change a pair of silver tableware for Meng Siyin and Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu is still maintaining the superficial relationship at the moment, and said with a fake smile: "My wife was frightened on the way, maybe she doesn't have much appetite at this time."

Master Liu smiled and said: "Bandits are rampant in this area. The imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, but they still haven't cleared them up. You two should be careful on the way."

Meng Siyin has been secretly watching Mr. Liu, this man looks kind on the surface, but in fact there is a fierce and dark look in his eyes.

From time to time, Master Liu floated diagonally to the rear, that area was Meng Siyin's blind spot, the light was too dim, and she couldn't see clearly what was hidden inside.

Meng Siyin excused herself from feeling unwell and left the meeting first.

Zhao Xu took Tang Xiaobao to drink and change glasses in the lobby until late at night.

Master Liu sent someone to secretly monitor Meng Siyin.

She had already discovered the person who was following him, but at this time she hadn't figured out the details of the other party and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Wan'er looked at the little girl in her arms and said with emotion: "This natural disaster really killed a lot of people."

Meng Siyin nodded in agreement, and she saw figures dangling at the door out of the corner of her eye.

Wan'er also noticed that she put the baby in her arms on the bed and was about to go out when Meng Siyin grabbed Wan'er's wrist to signal not to.

Suddenly, there was a scream outside.

Wan'er exclaimed, "It's Zhao Lan's voice."

Meng Siyin pushed open the door and didn't see Zhao Lan's figure. She turned to look at the servant next to her, who followed her all the way.

She looked back with stern eyes.

The family in front of them is not an ordinary person at first glance, it looks like they have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their eyes are full of murderous intent.

At this moment, Meng Siyin had every reason to suspect that the gangsters she met on the way had colluded with this Liu man, but she couldn't find any evidence, so she couldn't draw conclusions on her own.

She and Wan'er searched around the yard, but they didn't find Zhao Lan.

She suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, and was about to go to the lobby to look for Zhao Xu, when she saw the two of them drinking unconscious from a distance, and was sent back by the servants of the mansion.

Meng Siyin frowned unconsciously, knowing that this was a wolf's den, she insisted on drinking like this.

She settled the two of them calmly, turned her head and left.

Zhao Xu grabbed Meng Siyin, she frowned and said, "Aren't you drunk?"

Zhao Xu sat up suddenly.

"If I don't pretend, do you think that Liu will let me back?"

Meng Siyin pointed at Tang Xiaobao hesitantly.

Zhao Xu said, "It's also an act."

Meng Siyin told Zhao Xu all about Lan'er's disappearance and the process.

Zhao Xu frowned, he didn't expect this person to be so bold, he would dare to kidnap Lan'er even when he knew Lan'er's identity.

Meng Siyin was a little anxious at this moment, fearing that something might happen to Lan'er.

Zhao Xu comforted him from the side: "The secret guards have been sent to follow."

Meng Siyin said incredulously: "Could it be that you already know these things?"

Zhao Xu turned his head to look at a figure swaying outside the window, signaled Meng Siyin to shut up, and sneaked over by himself.

He opened the window and dragged the person into the house while the person outside the window was not paying attention.

The man was about to call for help, but was knocked unconscious by Zhao Xu's palm.

Meng Siyin saw that the guy in front of her was dressed exactly like the one at the door of her room, and she also had a murderous look on her face.
