Chapter 238 Who is the Qingqing
Although she has been pampered and pampered for a long time, she is still quite sensitive to the vague hostility, like a sharp knife gently sweeping the surface of the skin, and she doesn't know when blood will splatter on the spot.

She gently put down the umbrella and medical box, and secretly tightened the hilt of the sword in her sleeve. She heard someone moving slowly, slowly towards the door. Many thoughts flashed through her mind, and she wondered if Yuan Lingbo was entering Shandong now. The world does not.Just when she was a little distracted, the door suddenly opened, followed by a long sword, stabbing out from the dark night where she couldn't see her fingers.

Siqing blocked it with a backhand, it was too dark, the sword didn't stab her, and she didn't block the sword, so the sword inside the door disappeared without a sound.

Siqing knew that even if she walked, she would not be able to leave. There was no one in the alley. If she walked outside, the people inside would catch up.At that time, fighting is inevitable.If you startled the nearby monks by fighting at the alley, and then alarmed the shop soldiers, your identity would make yourself more troublesome, and it would be impossible to talk about looking for Xiao Yi.

She calmed down and listened carefully for a while, and confirmed that this was the one in the deepest part of the alley, which was the old residence of the Lan family, so she made up her mind to break in and attack with a backhand.This time her dagger touched the opponent's weapon and made a sound.The door was blown shut again by the wind.

Siqing didn't care about it either, and with a twist of her wrist, the sword flower was airtight, forcing the opponent to take a few steps back.The opponent jumped again, this time Siqing didn't judge the position well, and blocked from the top of the head, but the opponent feinted and attacked from the side.Siqing quickly dodges, seeing that she is about to be stabbed in the shoulder by the other party.

Siqing's left shoulder was injured, and she retreated subconsciously, giving the other party an opportunity to attack.The opponent went one step further, and Siqing decided to give up dodging. She turned her sword and prepared to cut at the opponent's vitals while the opponent was stabbing herself. At this moment, the two were very close to each other. Siqing finally saw the hilt of the opponent's sword clearly. The opponent also saw his sword clearly.

The two withdrew their swords almost at the same time, but they were still one step too late.Siqing hadn't made a move yet, so she didn't stab the opponent, but the opponent's sword scratched Siqing's arm, and Siqing felt that the arm was hot, as if fresh blood flowed out.

The other party was shocked, subconsciously said: "Your Highness?"

As soon as the sound came out, Siqing let out a long sigh of relief, forgetting that her right arm was injured.There was another person in the room. Hearing that he had polished the fire and approached, there was a slight light in the courtyard, and the outline of Sun Chengfu finally became clearer in the night.

Sun Chengfu turned pale in shock, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I'm guilty of death."

But Siqing reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you talking about?" Before she could say any more, the person who was lighting up the fire in the room rushed out, and the fire was extinguished, but Siqing was quickly embraced by a firm embrace.

Her heart, which had been tensed for a long time, finally relaxed, and Siqing just felt in a daze, as if she had seen the scene just now in a dream.She hugged Xiao Yi tightly subconsciously, and Xiao Yi's long-lost voice sounded in Siqing's ear, "Why did you come here?! Didn't you say it's okay..." He felt his hands were stained with sticky liquid, and when he looked closer, I couldn't see clearly, but there was a fishy smell, "Are you injured?!"

Siqing sighed, "It's good that the third brother is here."

Sun Chengfu kowtowed and said, "I deserve ten thousand deaths for my crimes."

Siqing then said again, "It's none of your business, it's too dark, I can't see who the other party is, it's right to be careful. Get up."

Siqing pressed the wound to stop the bleeding, but Sun Chengfu still didn't dare to get up, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Xiao Yi sighed and said, "Come on, get up."

Because it was raining, the three entered the house.There was a musty smell in the room, and it was already dilapidated. The side beams had collapsed, and the rain was still leaking.It was damp everywhere, and there was nothing to ignite. Sun Chengfu went out and stole a lantern from a high place at the back gate of Jianlong Temple. Xiao Yi was going to buy medicine, and Siqing opened the medical box to re-bandage the wound. "I have it here. It's okay." , just scratches."

Sun Chengfu came back with the lantern and saw that Siqing's wound was bleeding profusely, his face was pale, and he bowed down again to apologize.Siqing said: "I told you not to do your business, get up. Go out and see if there is any abnormality in the vicinity." She opened the medical box to find medicine and applied it, tore off the edge of her sleeve and used it as a bandage to stop the bleeding again.Xiao Yi squinted his hands and couldn't do anything to help, until finally Siqing wrapped her hands in bandages.

Siqing let Xiao Yi wrap the bandages, and asked: "I seem to have seen the situation just now in a dream. Third brother, what happened? Why did you disembark? Why didn't you contact Whistle? How did the news of disembarkation leak out?" of?"

Xiao Yi finally finished wrapping up the bandage, and the profile of his profile in the shadow of the lamp was exceptionally thin, "Why did you come? I didn't mean..."

Sun Chengfu went out to see if there was any other movement at the door. The faces of Siqing and Xiao Yi were so close that the eyelashes seemed to be tangled together. Siqing smiled with a bit of indecency, "Because I miss you .”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi's reaction was much more exaggerated than Siqing expected. He seemed to be shocked, and hugged Siqing with his backhand, "What did you say?"

Siqing patted him on the back lightly, "I miss you. Before I left Dijing, I was lying on the boat in Taiyechi. At that moment, I thought, what's the weather like in Jinling now? Are you doing it again?" what?"

Xiao Yi stroked Siqing's earrings, "I...I didn't want you to come. But you appeared like this, and you said such things to me..."

Siqing broke free lightly, Xiao Yi said: "I have never been able to figure out your thoughts, I have never known how you see me in your heart, whether you know my heart for yours. Your thoughts are so hard to guess, Jumping up and down like your cat, sometimes I am angry, sometimes helpless, and also afraid, afraid that you have never thought of me..."

Reason and tenderness tore Siqing repeatedly, and she finally forced a smile: "What now?"

Xiao Yi said: "I know each other deeply."

Siqing laughed and said, "So you never thought about me before, did I just pretend to be sentimental?"

Xiao Yi said with a smile again: "If you love Qing, you should be Qingqing; if I am not Qingqing, who will be Qingqing?"

Siqing said: "He can say nice things to coax people."

Just as Xiao Yi was about to explain, Sun Chengfu came back and interrupted the two of them, "There is no movement outside."

Siqing said seriously: "So third brother, why did you disembark suddenly? You haven't answered my question just now. I received three letters, namely 'Arrival in Weiyang on July [-]th' and 'Turn around and return north immediately' And "arrive at Daming on August [-]th", did you write the letter? Why did the pigeons fly from Daming to my ship?"

Xiao Yi and Sun Chengfu looked at each other, "I got off the boat in Junzhou, and I planned to wander around the city. Who knew that when I was eating near the pier, someone stuffed a note into my plate."

"Who?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I don't know either."

Siqing asked, "What does the other party want to tell you?"

Xiao Yi said: "Someone recruited peasants near Jiangbei to "repair" the dam on the embankment of the Baixun River in Zhuhu Lake. I didn't know anything about this before."

"Rebuild the dam?" Siqing just came across the Baixun River, "Do you have to rebuild it at this time?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "That's not the case. Our original plan was to meet in Weiyang, so Weiyang will definitely stay with us for a few days. Someone watched the sky and said that there will be heavy rain recently. So as long as someone in Weiyang stays with us until before the rain, we will go north together , when the heavy rain falls and the embankment of the Baixun River is washed away, guess what will happen?"

Siqing was startled, "They will use the name of repairing dikes to tamper with the dam. When it rains heavily, the embankment of the Baixun River will be 'washed away' by the heavy rain, and our fleet will be in trouble! Who wants to do this? ?”

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I don't know." He handed the note to Si Qing, and Si Qing took a look, it turned out to be printed, and it was impossible to tell who did it.

Si Qing said: "There is such a thing? Then how did the news about your disembarkation leak out?"

Xiao Yi said: "I leaked it myself. I have thought about it. Even if I go quietly, then others will not know that I got off the boat. After crossing Zhuhu Lake, I will still play tricks on the levee. When the time comes, the Baixun River bursts and floods the city. , How much trouble is going to happen, and how many lives will be killed? So I think I not only have to get off the boat, but also let the people who should know know that I got off the boat, so that they will give up playing tricks on the Baixun River embankment thought."

Siqing was puzzled, "In this case, you just need to send someone to the embankment to watch in advance. You know the other party's plot, so what are you worried about? Why did you disembark? Why didn't you contact the local sentry?"

Xiao Yi said: "Since the other party dares to do this kind of thing, they won't just plan to do tricks on the Baixun River embankment. I'm worried that it's easy to hide from the open gun, but hard to guard against the hidden arrow."

Si Qing asked again: "You didn't contact the sentry point because you didn't trust Jiangnan Secretary Xu Huaimin?"

Xiao Yi nodded, "That's right. The only omission in this matter is that Xu Huaimin reacted too quickly. I heard the news even when I disembarked in Junzhou. I don't know why the Junzhou sentry didn't know about it. I doubt they might know about it. So I thought of avoiding the Junzhou sentry point and going to Anhe sentry point to write to you. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got off the boat, before I figured out how to go, Xu Huaimin found out that I was missing, plus the news of my disembarkation 'Losing wind', he mobilized the Jiangnan Division sentry post and the local government office to find me. In this way, all the sentry posts in the south of Nanzhili were exposed. I can't tell if someone in the local area has a different heart, so there is no way, I can only give up contacting the whistle."

Siqing asked again, "What happened to the pigeon?"

Xiao Yi said: "Fortunately, there were a few pigeons by my side when I got off the boat in case of emergency, but the pigeons are all flying to Daming Mansion, so they can't catch up with your boat, so I sent a letter to Daming Mansion's post, at least Daming Mansion is a mansion. The whistle of the military guard, and then a message was sent to you by the sentry post of the Daming Mansion."

Si Qing realized that things were more complicated than she thought, and was thinking about Xiao Yi's words, when Xiao Yi suddenly remembered something, "How can you come alone?"

"There were originally two," Siqing said, "but I also felt that the sentry point was unreliable halfway, so I didn't contact the sentry point, and then sent Yuan Lingbo to the Daming Mansion. You may not know that Li Yuanzhen is going crazy, Those who knew about the imperial capital were probably crazy, and the news of your disembarkation was spread in a mess. The cabinet said that we must go to the Daming Mansion for the August Festival, so the rumors were quelled. That is to say, we must go to the Daming Mansion before August [-]th. , since this is the case, there should be no more problems in the Daming Mansion. This important task will be handed over to Ling Bo."

Xiao Yi asked: "Is there any movement in Beijing?"

"It wasn't there when I left Fanshui," Siqing said, "I also think it's strange, according to the routine last time, since Guozhu Lake plotted against us at the confluence of the Baixun River, there should be movement in Beijing. "The abnormal quietness in Beijing can only mean that someone wants to help protect the crown prince and kill Xiao Yi. Siqing didn't say this. After all, the He family really has no room for trouble now.

Xiao Yi obviously thought of this too, with a bad face, Si Qing said: "Anyway, I have to go to Daming Mansion before August [-]th. It's not safe to go back to Yuzhou now, I don't know who is setting the trap. It's not safe not to go back, you should know We all know that you have disembarked, and it is more likely that you will be blackmailed by the people quietly. I think that since I know what the other party thinks, it is better to go back to the ship to be safe. It is impossible for so many imperial guards to turn against you."

Xiao Yi didn't make a choice, and sighed: "Let's go by ourselves. As long as we don't reveal our identity, it's not a big problem. The other party can't issue a sea arrest document to arrest me, right? This is called 'easy to hide with a clear gun'. Back on the boat, I don't know what to do." Who is playing tricks, this is 'difficult to guard against'."

Si Qing said: "That makes sense. But now that we are all disconnected from the sentry point, Shen Yuanxi and Old Man Fan will probably go crazy. Let's go on our own, and there will be no mistakes on the way. There is enough time to go to the Daming Mansion before the August Festival. The premise is that there will be no mistakes .”

Since Sun Chengfu accidentally stabbed Siqing today, he has looked bitter and bitter. Hearing this, he felt that the responsibility was heavy. Siqing said again: "Third brother, Chengfu, who made the intuition? Xu Huaimin? Zhao Rucheng? Surname What is Zhao's background?"

Xiao Yi said: "Kejia is on the right track."

Siqing snorted, thinking that if you said this, you didn't say anything, and asked again: "Third brother, before you left Jinling, did you say that you would rectify the expansion of the land by the clan kings centering on the old vassal fields?" Xiao Yi quickly looked up. Siqing, the two obviously wanted to go together.

Xiao Yi sighed, "They have long since lost their feudal domain, but they are still enclosing land, expanding their old feudal land privately, and collecting rent and tax from the 'vassal land', why is that so unreasonable?"

This issue has been around for a long time. Siqing was "a fledgling" back then, and after the death of the Empress Dowager, it was because of her "high opinion" on this issue that directly led Zong Wang to oppose her becoming the second queen with both hands and feet, and was still involved in the Fuzhou case. Later, he made trouble for Ye Xiufeng.So Siqing got a headache when she heard this. (Before I saw Chapter 8, I was frightened by the good dreams)

Si Qing said: "I always felt that Xiao Xu, the boss of Kang Wang's family, had someone behind him. But what about the governor Zhao Rucheng, it seems that the third brother is hard to say? But there are so many officials in Nanzhili, it is impossible for all of them to have problems. Third Brother got the news in Junzhou, so he should go back to Jinling the same way. Jinling is the capital of Liudu, even if there is something wrong with Zhao Rucheng, would he still dare to rebel in Liudu?"

"There are people in the imperial capital who dare, why don't you dare to stay in the capital?" Xiao Yi said, "If I was not in a hurry to return to Beijing, I would have waited for you to come to Jinling. If we use troops in the north, we must return to the imperial capital in August."

Siqing asked Sun Chengfu again: "Is there anything unusual about accompanying the Jingwei on the way back?"
