Value peace

Chapter 223

The husband and wife were wondering, Madam Wei cleared her throat and said, "What are you going to do?"

Qi Maosheng took a look at Gu Xiyan and said, "Although Mi Ji is said to be the order of the court, but the imperial concubine's will..."

Madam Wei frowned and interrupted Qi Maosheng: "I'm asking about the child!"

Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan were both shocked.

"You have been married for almost three years..."

This time Qi Maosheng interrupted Madam Wei.

He frowned slightly, and said: "It will only be three years in February tomorrow..."

Mrs. Wei hummed lightly, and said, "Okay, just as you said... what are you going to do?"

Qi Maosheng stretched his hand behind his back, and held Gu Xiyan's hand tightly.

"When the war eases, I will personally go to the Qixia Temple in Shengjing... If there is still no movement, I will leave it to you."

Mrs. Wei frowned even more when she heard this.

Maosheng, when did you talk so easily...

But looking at his calm and even somewhat clear eyes, Mrs. Wei had no choice but to put all those doubts in her heart.

The two came out of Huaiyuan and entered the second gate of Liyuan. Gu Xiyan couldn't help but put her arms around Qi Maosheng: "Maosheng, you can't go to Shengjing...it's too dangerous..."

Qi Maosheng kissed Gu Xiyan's cheek: "Silly girl, I'm not going now... When the war eases, it's not too late..."

Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng with some understanding.

Qi Maosheng pursed his lips and smiled at her.

* * * * * *
Qi Maosheng sent Gu Xiyan back to Liyuan.

"Have a good sleep. I have something to discuss with Mr. Ding and the others, so don't wait for me."

Gu Xiyan pulled Qi Maosheng's sleeve: "Maosheng, what is the reward for killing Mi Ji?"

Qi Maosheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's "The Making of Guns."

A trace of worry flashed across Gu Xiyan's eyebrows: "Are you sure it's true?"

Qi Maosheng nodded: "It's true! We have verified the seal on the picture, and it is indeed hidden in Xizhao's inner court!"

This kind of thing is very difficult to really manufacture. If the news leaks out, it will be a crime of being pregnant...

A gloomy look flashed across Gu Xiyan's face, and Qi Maosheng didn't wait for her to speak again, and said, "Xiyan, don't worry... I know it well."

In terms of politics, Qi Maosheng is many times stronger than her. For this kind of thing, let Maosheng listen...

Thinking of this, although Gu Xiyan felt relieved a lot, she still couldn't help but said: "Maosheng, give the key to Aunt Cui. Those things are just a piece of paper in our hands, but to them, it may be a piece of paper." Something more precious than life... Make the best use of it, and give it to her! What's more, she was entrusted by her sister to guide Panxi in her studies... Although I don't worry about it, I can't find any suitable ones so far. people……"

Qi Maosheng answered irrelevantly and said: "How about I send two nuns from the Asura Sect to take care of Panxi and guard against Cui Baoyi..."

I'm afraid it has already been arranged!
Gu Xiyan stared at Qi Maosheng, only then realized that Maosheng was much lighter than the previous days...Because of his own reasons, he must have worried a lot!

Gu Xiyan's heart was tender, and there was a warm feeling between her brows, she couldn't say anything!

Qi Maosheng kissed Gu Xiyan on the cheek: "You are tired today, go to sleep!"

Gu Xiyan lay down docilely, Qi Maosheng asked Duanniang to come to watch the night in person, and then got up.

When Qi Maosheng left, Gu Xiyan pouted and asked Duanniang: "The key is clearly in your hands, why are you hiding it from me?"

When Duanniang heard this, her eyes turned red: "Silly girl, who is like you, who doesn't worry about anything... The big girl wants it so urgently, it must be something important... If I didn't have a heart and a key that day... If you stay here, I can change things smoothly today...you don't have a family, and now...I don't plan for you, why should I stand up straight in front of you..."

It was because she had no children, so Duanniang was afraid that Qi Maosheng would dislike her, so she took out the key without hesitation, trying to help her earn some status in Qi Maosheng's heart!
Gu Xiyan burst into tears, and murmured "Aunt Duan".

But Duanniang covered her mouth and began to cry: "My poor girl... finally entered the palace and became a royal concubine, but ended up like this... I'm going to go underground and see the old lady, how can I talk to her?" Tell me..."

Looking at the tearful Duanniang, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but shed tears, she sighed, touched the handkerchief from under the pillow and handed it to Duanniang...

Duanniang managed to hold back her tears, Gu Xiyan asked about Zhenniang's situation, knowing that she would occasionally cough up blood, she muttered: "In front of everyone, I suspect that Zhenniang has tuberculosis... Hong Luan hugged her to have a look, Don't let them come close, be careful of contagion... After the fifteenth day, send them to the outside of the mansion to recuperate, and then send someone to tell the Wang family..."

Duan Niang nodded.

Seeing her disapproving look, Gu Xiyan sighed, and said: "The Chinese New Year is about to come...don't say anything bad to damage the reputation of the master...you have to let go of this matter. It is in the heart."

Duanniang straightened her face and nodded.

When Qi Maosheng arrived at Qinyuan, Mr. Ding and Qi Xiao were standing around the unrolled picture scroll in amazement.

When they saw Qi Maosheng coming in, they both bowed and saluted him.

"How?" Qi Maosheng sat on the kang and asked Mr. Ding with a smile.

Mr. Ding's eyes could not conceal the excitement: "Unexpectedly, I really did not expect that this "Gun Making Map" would fall into our hands one day!"

Qi Maosheng nodded, his eyes were as bright as the sun.

Only Qi Xiao murmured, "But we can't understand either!"

"Without this picture, we are blind men feeling an elephant. With this picture, at least there is hope!" Qi Maosheng's expression was full of determination, "Qi Xiao, you are going to Gaochang tomorrow, no matter what method you use, find me a group of skilled craftsmen After the Chinese New Year, we will start trial production of this gun; as for Cui Baoyi, Mr. Ding will be in charge of it himself... Erping has arranged for people to follow him. In front of her, I'm afraid she won't be able to do a few tricks..."

Just as he was talking, he heard a young servant shouting loudly from a distance outside: "Master, the people from Huaiyuan are here."

Qi Maosheng replied "Come in".

After a while, Bao Niang, who was wearing a bun and wearing a crow blue warrior outfit, appeared in front of everyone with a shrewd look. She cupped her fists and saluted Qi Maosheng like a man.

Qi Maosheng nodded, pointed at Mr. Ding and said, "You take the people from the Asura Gate and listen to Mr. Ding's instructions. No matter what, bring me back the things in Cui Baoyi's hand... Arrange two more people to go to Gu's house. Martial arts are strong, and they are proficient in world affairs. Tell them clearly, and from now on, I will work as an errand in the Gu family..."

Bao Niang lowered her head and lowered her eyes in response.

Just as Qi Maosheng was talking, another boy's loud voice came from outside: "Master, Erping is here!"

Qi Maosheng responded casually, "Come in", and continued: "Unless Cui Baoyi opened the stainless steel box in the cellar of Gu's mansion, no matter what happens, don't worry about it, the safety of the two masters of the Gu family is the main priority... ..."

Bao Niang's eyes were surprised, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she hesitated to speak, and finally answered "yes" in a low voice.

As soon as the two of them finished talking, Erping walked in with a hasty expression.

In winter, he saluted Qi Maosheng solemnly, and then stood there silently.

Baoniang knew that what they were going to talk about was military affairs, and she was not fit to listen, so she clasped her fists at Qi Maosheng and said, "Master, if there is no other order, then I will go down and prepare."

"You go!" Qi Maosheng lightly raised his chin to Baoniang.

Baoniang bowed to Qi Maosheng with her fists together, and then walked away quickly.

After Baoniang's figure disappeared at the second gate of Qinyuan, Erping said: "Master, I went to ask. It is said that the whole city of the capital is under martial law these days, especially the Forbidden City. People haven't gotten any news yet."

Martial law, all redeployment?
Qi Maosheng, Mr. Ding and Qi Xiao exchanged glances, and everyone saw the dignity in each other's gazes.

Qi Maosheng's eyes were sharp, "Forget about the palace, let them pay close attention to the transfer of officials from the Shengjing Ministry of Officials..."

Erping respectfully replied "Yes".

"You have worked hard too, go down and rest!"

Er Ping went away in response.

Qi Maosheng looked solemn, and said: "Mr. Ding, please write a note, just say that the weather in Liang Ting is bad, Wujun City cannot be attacked for a long time, our soldiers in Yandi suffered heavy casualties, and food and grass are scarce. Please send eight hundred to the court urgently." Carry food and go to Liang...to test the reaction of the court..."

Qi Maosheng stayed in the Liyuan until noon, and when he returned to the Liyuan, he found that Gu Xiyan led Hongluan and Zhizi sitting on the kang by the window, playing with rope, while Lei Nanny and Duanniang were serving.

Seeing Qi Maosheng enter the room, the two bowed their knees to salute, Gu Xiyan raised her head and smiled and asked "I'm back", then lowered her head and said softly to Hongluan: "We will play again later, Daddy is back, Say hello to daddy!"

Hongluan looked at Qi Maosheng, then at the red rope in Gu Xiyan's hand, then flinched and leaned against Zhizi.

Qi Maosheng frowned.

Gu Xiyan saw it, and hurriedly got off the kang, took off her shoes and undressed Qi Maosheng: "I will order the meal!"

Qi Maosheng nodded, took off his outer robe, Xingyu fetched water and came in to wash Qi Maosheng's face.

While Qi Maosheng was going to the side room, Gu Xiyan smiled softly and said to Hongluan: "When daddy comes out, you have to remember to salute daddy, and then we will ask daddy to let him agree to our visit to Zhenniang in the afternoon ,OK!"

This morning, Gu Xiyan and Duanniang went to Wanqingxuan, and told everyone about Zhenniang's illness. Everyone was a little surprised, but no one asked, only Hongluan, who cried loudly.

Gu Xiyan asked Lei Momo to hug Hongluan to see Zhenniang.

Zhenniang was lying alone in a secluded room in Wanqingxuan, when she saw Hongluan coming in, her expression was a bit complicated.

Gu Xiyan turned a blind eye, smiled lightly, and said: "You have tuberculosis, and it is not easy to arrange many people to serve you in front of you. I will bring Hongluan to see you today, so that you will not forget it." After finishing speaking, she hugged Seeing Hongluan going out the door: "Look, Zhenniang is sick, we can't disturb her. After a few days, when she recovers, Hongluan can be with Zhenniang again."

Hongluan burst into tears and kicked Gu Xiyan: "I want Zhenniang, I want Zhenniang..."
