Horse on the World

Chapter 394 The Impossible Thing
After seeing off Mingyan, it was already the second watch, and when I returned to the inner room, Jiyue had already fallen asleep. The pregnant woman couldn't bear the sleepiness, so she endured it for a while, and finally fell asleep.Sitting on the edge of the bed, Li Qing sideways looked at the sleeping Jiyue, her delicate face was much rounder now, with a faint luster shining on her face, perhaps because she was pregnant with a child, her body was also plump a lot.

"Marshal, let me help you take a bath!" Qiao'er whispered.

Li Qing shook his head and said, "No, I'll sit for a while and then go back to the city."

Qiaoer said in surprise: "It's so late, and I have to go back to the city!"

Li Qing nodded, "That's right, there are important things to deal with. You have to take good care of Madam, and don't make any mistakes."

Qiao'er nodded: "Yes, the servant will save it, please rest assured, Marshal."

Standing up, the clever Qiaoer quickly took Li Qing's coat and cloak from the hanger, helped Li Qing put it on, and tidied up the clothes. Li Qing walked to the door, turned around, and saw Ji who was sleeping Yue didn't know what she had dreamed of, with a flower-like smile on her face, she giggled, then turned over, put her hands on the pillow, and fell asleep again.

Li Qing turned around with a smile and strode away.

Li Qing didn't tell Qiao'er the truth, he didn't have any important matters to deal with when he returned to the city, but Mingyan's words reminded him that there was his first wife in the Hou's mansion, who was also pregnant now Qingcheng, remembering that she had been spending time with Jiyue these days, couldn't help but feel a little guilty. It's really unreasonable to let her stay in the Hou's mansion alone and miserable during the big festival.If Shang Haibo knew about it, he would definitely complain in front of him tomorrow.Besides, since Tianqi's death, Qingcheng's arrogant temperament has changed a lot, and she already has some demeanor of the mistress of Dingzhou.I heard that Qingcheng ran into Qingfeng on the street a few days ago, and even came forward to say hello with a smile, which made Qingfeng a little dumbfounded and at a loss.

That's it!Sitting in the stable carriage, Li Qing thought.After returning to Hou Mansion and getting off the carriage, Li Qing was surprised to see Tang Hu and Iron Leopard striding out together. Today is the wax festival, Li Qing gave Tang Hu a holiday and asked him to go back and have a good time with Zhong Jing. After the reunion, Zhong Jing is a very busy person, it is rare to stay at home for a few days in a year, and Tang Hu also stays by her side all day. Although the two are in Dingzhou, they get together less and leave more.

"Why are you here again, didn't you tell you to go home?" Li Qing asked dissatisfied.

Tang Hu grinned, and said with a smile: "Marshal, what's the point of me staying at home alone, why not have a lively festival here with Iron Leopard and his gang! There is wine to drink and meat to eat , what a pleasure!"

"Where's Zhong Jing? Didn't the couple fight again, and they ran back because they lost face and stayed at home?" Li Qing joked, and the guards on the side all laughed in a low voice. Tang Shen will marry They fought against a woman who was more skilled than him, and lost nine times out of ten. The only victory was due to the madam's face. She was afraid that he would get angry if he lost, so she deliberately asked him to maintain a little confidence.

Tang Hu blushed slightly, arguing: "There, there, no matter how fierce that woman is, sometimes she can't let me manipulate her!"

Li Qing uttered an "uh," but the guard next to him laughed coaxingly, and Li Qing knocked Tang Hu on the head, "Good boy, you've made progress. If Zhong Jing listens to this, you'll be in trouble." .”

Tang Hu let out a hey before he came to his senses. Looking at the back of Li Qing striding away, he was a little panicked. He cupped his fists and bowed to the guards around him, "Brothers, brothers, you are right to say this. The ear goes in, the right ear comes out, and there must be no trace of wind."

"That's not a problem, but Tangtou, if you want us to keep our mouths shut, why don't you have to express it?" Iron Leopard laughed loudly.

"No problem, no problem!" Tang Hu watched Li Qingyuan go, and said in a low voice: "Find some time, let's get some good wine, yes, it's the kind of good wine that looks like fire, let's drink it well How was your last meal?"

Everyone was excited and applauded repeatedly. So far, this kind of wine is still prohibited from being sold in Dingzhou. They have no way to get this kind of wine, and only Tang Hu can get some of it.

Li Qing walked into the inner courtyard, but saw that the lights in Qingcheng's room were still on, and a figure with a full stomach was reflected on the window paper, walking back and forth slowly.

In the Statistical Investigation Department, Zhong Jing, who did not accompany Tang Hu for the festival, is now by Qingfeng's side. Today is the holiday, except for the staff on duty, most of the Statistical Investigation Department has a holiday to go back to celebrate the holiday. The huge yamen is deserted. Zhong Jing knows Qingfeng There are no friends, and almost no relatives. For others, this kind of day is a good day for family reunion, but for her, it is extremely difficult, so she released Tang Hu's pigeons to accompany Qingfeng.

Qingfeng didn't give herself a holiday. For her, maybe only when Li Qing came over, she would stop her work. At other times, she was basically busy, and today was no exception.

Zhong Jing cooked the Laba porridge and carried it on a tray. When Qingfeng opened the door and walked in, Qingfeng still hung her head, and the paperwork piled up in front of her almost covered her hands, because there was no one in the yamen, and Qingfeng was dressed very well. Casually, the black hair was not tied, and let it pour down like a black waterfall. Seeing Qingfeng's tightly wrinkled brows, Zhong Jing couldn't help but feel sore.Miss, she is too hard on herself.

"Miss, take a rest first and have a bowl of porridge?" Zhong Jing said softly.

Well!Qingfeng hummed softly, stretched out a hand, picked up the bowl from the tray, and fed it to his mouth, but his eyes still did not leave the copywriting, he took a sip of the porridge, and let out a snort, then Qingfeng raised his head , glanced at the bowl, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, today is the Laba Festival! Ah Jing, why don't you go to accompany Huzi, why don't you come to my place to cook porridge for me! Don't think that Huzi is honest , just look forward to neglecting him!"

Zhong Jing pursed her lips, "What, he was very happy when he heard that I was coming to accompany Miss. As soon as I went, he just went to find his gang of cronies to eat and drink."

"Men are all like this!" Qingfeng looked like someone who came here, "Don't control him too tightly!"

"I don't have time to care about him!" Zhong Jing laughed. "Miss, what problem have you encountered again?"

Qingfeng pushed the copywriting, "It's not about Xingzhou. I don't know about this matter, so I'm always worried."

"Didn't you call Ji Sichen back to take a closer look? What did he discover?" Zhong Jing asked.

Qingfeng shook his head, "It's also puzzling."

Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the door, and Ji Sichen's voice sounded: "Director Qingfeng!" When the two heard the voice, they both laughed, and said Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.

"Come in, Sichen!" Qingfeng said.

Ji Sichen carried a big food box, and walked into the door with a gust of cold wind, "Yo, Master Zhong is here too?" Ji Sichen asked in surprise.

Zhong Jing smiled and nodded to him. Although Ji Sichen joined the Statistics and Investigation Department later, he was valued by Qingfeng. He was indeed a talented person. After joining the Statistics and Investigation Department, he slowly emerged. He is the director of the planning and analysis department of the headquarters, and also serves as the head of the Bingzhou branch, and he has lived up to Qingfeng's trust. After only a few months in Bingzhou, he has organized the Bingzhou branch in an orderly manner, and the efficiency is quite high.

Putting the food box on the table, Ji Sichen said with a smile: "I knew Director Qingfeng must be staying up late again. My wife made some Laba porridge and Laba rice at home. I tasted it really good, so I brought some for the director. Come here, unexpectedly, Mr. Zhong has already arrived first."

"Laba rice?" Zhong Jing asked puzzled.

"It's like this, my wife is from the south!" Ji Sichen explained, "The south is different from ours, but Laba rice is popular in the south, so she made some of the same!" He said, adding a bowl of porridge and a bowl of rice Put them on the table, and took out some exquisite dishes, and put them all together, "Director, Mr. Zhong, let's taste my wife's cooking together!"

Qingfeng and Zhong Jing sat down happily, and tasted a little bit of the same, Zhong Jing called out, "Master Ji, you are so lucky, your wife's craftsmanship is really good, much better than mine, miss, Throw away my bowl of porridge, it's too embarrassing for me!"

Qingfeng and Ji Sichen burst out laughing at the words, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively.

While sipping eight-treasure rice, Qingfeng asked: "Sichen, do you have any new ideas about Xingzhou?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ji Sichen's face darkened immediately, he shook his head and said: "I still have no idea, I imagined various possibilities, but rejected them one by one, I really didn't understand Qu Yongjie's matter."

"What on earth does he want to do?" Qingfeng said while picking rice into his mouth.

"Unless, what the heck, Emperor Tianqi is still alive, and he is with Qu Yongjie. There is an explanation for these things, but how is this possible?" Ji Sichen was a little annoyed, and said casually, Emperor Tianqi had been dead for almost a year, probably The bones are almost rotten.

With a bang, the bowl in Qingfeng's hand fell to the ground, smashed to pieces, his eyes were straight, staring straight ahead, the chopsticks in his hand were stretched out to pick up the vegetables, and at this moment they were also congealed on the dish In the sky above, the whole person froze instantly like a stone sculpture.

"Director!"

"Miss!"

Seeing Qingfeng miss suddenly, Zhong Jing and Ji Sichen were startled and blurted out.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?" Zhong Jing threw away the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, jumped up, came to Qingfeng's back, and put her palm on Qingfeng's vest.

"It's okay!" Qingfeng suddenly raised his hand holding the chopsticks.

"Sichen, what did you just say?" Qingfeng stared at Ji Sichen with piercing eyes!

"What did I say?" Ji Sichen was a little at a loss.

"The first sentence just now!" Qingfeng said.

"I just said, unless the Emperor Tianqi is still alive!" Ji Sichen stood up with a bang, stumbled on the stool behind him, and leaned back. If it wasn't for Zhong Jing's quick eyes and quick hands, he would have fallen down All fours.

"How is this possible?" Ji Sichen screamed, his voice changing tune.
