"Han Si and Shi Er?" Kong Qing frowned, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and sighed sullenly. He looked at Liao Cheng with a somewhat unfriendly gaze and asked, "When did they come to Yong'an City? What did they come for? Just like a group of sour Scholars participating?"

"I heard that I arrived last night." Liao Cheng swallowed, and was terrified by Kong Qing's cold gaze. He subconsciously took a step back and coughed vaguely, "Today, I'm going to be an official with you." Han Si bumped into each other, and according to what he meant, it seemed that he was here on an errand. Right now, he lives in the yard behind Wangyue Tower, which is the restaurant managed by the rice shopkeeper..."

Kong Qing not only glared at Liao Cheng unkindly, Liao Cheng choked up suddenly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and stared at Kong Qing's face with some trepidation.

"I'm most impatient with you literati talking in a strange way! Please explain clearly!" As soon as Kong Qing raised his hand, he subconsciously wanted to slap the case table, and when he waved his hand in the air, he realized that the case had been broken a long time ago. He cut it twice, and then withdrew his hand back with a gloomy face.

"General Kong, calm down," Liao Cheng hurriedly took a step back and bowed to Kong Qing, cleared his throat, and coughed in deliberation, "Well, the next official said that the food is not easy to buy, just like Han Si and Shi Er. It's something to do... Cough, cough," Seeing that Kong Qing's eyes turned cold and his brows frowned even more, Liao Cheng thumped in his heart, and blurted out the words choked in his throat, "Han Si and Shi Er received an errand from the second young lady. It is said that they came to raise food for the Pingliang Mansion, but the food was already there—those two people most likely came to guard that batch of food. Besides, for some reason, other military supplies were also running short Not much. All the merchants are running out of stock one after another, seeing that this year is not over yet, and the weather is cold... Hey, Xiaguan is really grey-haired!"

As he spoke, he really tugged at his slightly gray hair, his face full of distress and melancholy.

Kong Qing stood up suddenly, his chest was heaving, his eyes were full of anger, and his fingers tremblingly pointed at Liao Cheng's forehead.It took a while before she cursed angrily: "How dare she? Just to show off for a while, she dared to play with the fifty thousand soldiers of Pingliang Mansion? She's a little girl..."

Kong Qing was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out, he kicked the chair in the living room flying, the chair flew across the ground, knocked over a row of nanmu chairs in the room, and fell down with crackling.The living room was suddenly in a mess.

Liao Cheng's eyelids twitched, and he looked at the nanmu chair with a broken leg and the desk that was broken into two pieces on the floor with some pain, and he sighed long while holding his forehead, hesitating for a moment, whether or not Cautiously, he said: "General Kong calm down, this is an incompetent official. Second young lady. Hey," Liao Cheng took a breath with a complex expression.After hesitating for a while, he continued, "According to the officials, the Second Young Madam is not that kind of ignorant woman. Han Si and Shi Er were having a banquet in Wangyue Building today and passed on the Second Young Madam's words. He said that the Lu family would definitely not put the Pingliang Mansion in danger. Han Si also said that he and Shi Er were killed by the second young lady and the second master. They came here to collect military supplies and grain. The rice shopkeeper immediately confessed He said that the second young lady had told them a long time ago. Please help the two masters. Listen to this, general. It’s just like today. Many people in Yong’an City are praising the second master and the second young lady. According to this Judging from the situation, this word will spread throughout the Pingliang Mansion within two days. The officials think that the Second Young Madam may intend to bring the Pingliang Mansion directly under the control of the Lu family. The timing is right..."

Liao Cheng shook his head with emotion, and there was a smile in his eyes. He took a deep breath, looked straight at Kong Qing, and sighed softly: "It's so perfect!"

Kong Qing stared at Liao Cheng expressionlessly, his eyes were cloudy and sunny, and he looked away after a while, looking at the snow-covered dead trees outside under the moonlight, standing motionless in the middle of the living room with his brows frowned, his whole body But the evil spirit gradually subsided.

"Come with me to Longchuan Mansion." Kong Qing took a deep breath, and ordered Liao Cheng without looking back, and walked away before he finished speaking.

Liao Cheng's eyes widened, looking at the bright moonlight and the cold courtyard outside, he sighed helplessly in distress.

In the middle of the night, this general is really... Forget it, this is good, go early and return early, General Kong can't leave the barracks for too long.

Shaking his head, Liao Cheng put away the wry smile on his face, raised his voice to call the steward on duty outside to prepare the carriages, and followed Kong Qing out of the yard.

The previous boy hurriedly fell over with a food box in his hand. Seeing the broken chairs strewn all over the floor, he was so frightened that his feet went limp, and he slumped on the door frame. He stretched his neck and glanced at the yard outside, wondering in his heart, his master was captured by the general, right?

Whoops, the little servant got up from the ground in fright, ignoring the food box, stumbled to the outside of the yard, grabbed the hand in charge and wailed: "Master... Master, have you been arrested? What can I do?"

Liao Cheng, who had just walked to the door, heard the wailing, slipped and almost fell down, but fortunately, the steward's quick-eyed hand quickly pulled Liao Cheng, and then he stood still.

"Tell him to shut up!" Liao Cheng gritted his teeth viciously and shouted at the manager, "Go and talk to Madam, just tell the master something important, and come back tomorrow."

The steward hurriedly nodded his head in response, sent Liao Cheng to the carriage, and carefully instructed the old man who drove the carriage to wait for the carriage to go further and further away, then he frowned and sighed, turned back to the yard, and kicked him. On the ass of the boy who was still howling, he lowered his voice and shouted: "Shut up! The master is in a hurry! This is a confidential matter, if you reveal half a word, hum!"

The boy's voice stopped abruptly, he blinked his eyes, suddenly became frightened, quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth tightly, his eyes widened, he shrank his neck, and followed the steward into the yard.

The sound of horseshoes was very clear in the silent night, and Kong Qing led his personal guards directly out of the gate of Yong'an City.There were three horses tied up in the carriage of the Liao Mansion, and the old man driving the carriage was obviously very experienced, he followed closely behind them all the way as he drove the carriage with a whip.But Liao Cheng, who was in the carriage, was thrown upside down, his hair was disheveled, and his complexion was pale. It was not until Chen was approaching that he was finally relieved.

Kong Qing and the others got off their horses, but were held at the gate of the city by the guards of Weiyuan City.Kong Qing stared at the guards gloomyly, his scalp numb from staring at them, but he still stopped in front of the door.

The carriage from the Liao Mansion followed behind, and the old man who was driving hurriedly helped Liao Cheng down. While calming down the turbulence in his stomach, Liao Cheng took out a water bag and took a sip, then straightened his hair and skirt, and finally opened the corners of his mouth. went up.

The head of the guard recognized Liao Cheng, and when he saw Liao Cheng's appearance, his heart skipped a beat.He snapped at a group of guards and hurriedly invited people in.

A group of people went straight to Beirongyuan.

At three o'clock in the morning, the maids and servants of Beirongyuan just woke up, still a little sleepy, and started to get busy in an orderly manner while yawning.

The gate was suddenly slapped, and the porter's boy woke up suddenly.He hurried up and opened a gap, staring warily at the soldiers in uniform and the expressionless Kong Qing, and asked suspiciously, "How many military masters do you dare to ask?"

Kong Qing frowned, and when he was about to speak, Liao Cheng pulled him away with a smile.

"I'm from Yong'an City, my surname is Liao. I have something urgent to see Mrs. Second Young Master, please let me know." Liao Cheng said in a gentle voice.Although his face is a bit embarrassed, there is a refined temperament on his body.

As expected, the porter relaxed his vigilance and nodded, saluted Liao Cheng with a smile and said, "Please wait a little longer." Then he glanced at Kong Qing behind Liao Cheng, and then hurriedly called another servant Guarding the door together, they ran to the inner courtyard by themselves.

Not long after, the young servant came back out of breath and said, "My lord, please come in quickly."

Liao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, covered his mouth with his fist and coughed at the expressionless Kong Qing.There was some anxiety and worry in his eyes.

Kong Qing frowned and gave Liao Cheng a sideways look, and entered the yard without saying a word.

"Greetings to Mr. Liao. Mr. Liao came really early today!" Changshou turned out from nowhere, brushed aside the young man who was leading the way, and with a warm smile on his face, he bowed to Liao Cheng and said with a smile, " At this time, the masters are probably not up yet, Master Liao will go to the living room to drink some tea and have a rest..."

When Changshou said this, he suddenly stopped, staring at Kong Qing in surprise, his mouth was open, but he didn't say anything for a long time, he swallowed after a long time, and saluted Kong Qing hastily: "Is it General Kong? Whoops, why are you here too?" As he spoke, he quickly slapped himself, and said with a smile, "My little eyesight, I didn't see the general before, please hurry up, the general—madam was still talking about it yesterday, It is said that the general is good at running the army, and he is also good at leading the army in battle. Unexpectedly, the general came this morning! Madam must be happy, the general will come and sit inside."

Changshou cheerfully led the two of them to the living room, and hurriedly ordered the servant outside to go to the east courtyard to invite someone.Turning around and seeing Liao Cheng's puzzled face, Changshou blinked, burst out laughing, patted his forehead and sighed: "Oh, I'm so confused, I forgot to tell the two adults. Ma'am is inconvenient." , I only got up at the end of the hour. Hehe, the two adults don’t know that the nuns in the madam’s yard are very fierce, and they will never let anyone in to disturb the madam until Sishi.”

Liao Cheng smiled embarrassingly and suspiciously, "It's okay, it's because we came early, it's still not bright... just wait."

Changshou shook his head and smiled while waving his hands: "Oh, I dare not keep the two adults waiting for a long time! The younger one just sent someone to go to the east courtyard. The east courtyard is where the uncle lives. The uncle always gets up early. The two adults sit together Sit down."

Liao Cheng and Kong Qing's expressions changed, they looked at each other, and they both gasped.uncle?Grandpa?Why did you come to the north, and there was no wind at all?

Liao Cheng looked excited, stood up from the chair suddenly, tugged on Changshou's sleeve and asked anxiously: "When did the uncle come?"

Changshou opened his mouth, and blinked his eyes in embarrassment and helplessness.

As soon as the question was finished, Liao Cheng's face froze, and he quickly let Changshou go. He smiled and cupped his hands with Changshou, "Hey, I'm a little impatient, so I shouldn't ask this question. I just pretend I haven't heard of it."

Changshou laughed a few times before saying goodbye and leaving.

But after a while, Lu Junqing came over from the east courtyard and went straight into the living room. His eyes fell on the faces of Liao Cheng and Kong Qing. There was no surprise in his eyes, and he said with a gentle smile, "Did you come here overnight?" Suddenly, there was a gentle and helpless smile in his eyes. He shook his head and said with emotion, "Second brother entrusted me to take care of my younger siblings. That girl looks gentle and gentle, but she can't be angry if she gets angry. Big. You are all elders, so you should take more care of yourself."

These words were very gentle, and they were a little thoughtless, but they faintly revealed a shocking oppression and deterrence, which made Liao Cheng and Kong Qing's hearts thump, sinking and sinking.
