Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 213 Follow me
Thinking of this, the young emperor couldn't help feeling a little restless, and ordered the general manager to strengthen the guards of the palace, and at the same time sent the Imperial Forest Army to step up patrols in the capital, and must find the Rong people and rescue Xie Yanniang safely.

It's a pity that for several days in a row, the Imperial Forest Army patrolled in shifts, but found nothing.

The Rong people seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace to be found.

The young emperor deliberately concealed this matter, but the guards of the Prince Regent's Mansion came and went every day, looking eager to dig the ground three feet in the middle of the capital, and anyone who saw it would murmur.

Not long after, almost everyone guessed that something happened to the regent's newly married concubine!

For a while, the dignitaries and dignitaries were all in danger, closed their doors and saw no visitors, and the guards patrolled the mansion day and night to prevent accidents.

The young emperor was very annoyed, the Rong clan swaggered and snatched Xie Yanniang away from under his nose, it was almost as if they had slapped him in the face!

"Is there no news yet?" The young emperor only slept for two hours a day, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of blue shadows.

The steward saw it in his eyes, and was also very helpless: "Back to the emperor, the Imperial Forest Army has turned the entire capital upside down, but still can't find any clues. The servant is thinking that the Rong people may have left the capital with the regent's concubine. bingo."

The young emperor thought the same way, otherwise these people would not have disappeared out of thin air.

Thinking that there is only one Meng Mingqi, there is still a way to deal with it.After all, no matter how powerful a person can be, there is only one pair of fists.

But the heavily guarded Palace of the Prince Regent let Meng Mingqi succeed. There is only one possibility, and that is that he has a helper.

All the Rong people who were escorted into the city by the regent died in the dungeon, only Meng Mingqi escaped, so where did the help come from?
Beijing and China have always been peaceful, and it is impossible for someone to treason.

The only possibility is that the last time the city gate caught fire, the Rong people took advantage of the chaos to sneak in!
The young emperor grimaced, killing all the guards at the city gate could not dispel his only hatred.

After being at ease for a long time, the guards in Beijing are becoming more and more incompetent?

"Since we're out of the city, we should strengthen the guards at the city gate. If what happened last time, let them take care of themselves." The young emperor waved his hand, signaling to the supervisor to go on.

The manager was in a cold sweat from shock, the last time the guards neglected their duties and let the Rong people in.

The young emperor was furious, bloodbathed the city gate, and hung the guard's head on top for three days, almost frightening the courage of the other guards.

But to make an example to the monkeys, those comfortable guards no longer dare to be lazy and play tricks, one by one carefully watching every progress, for fear of missing a suspicious person!

If something happened again, it would not be as simple as the guard losing his life, and their family would definitely be affected as well!
The steward called his confidant and asked him to go to the city gate to beat the guards, and then muttered a few words in a low voice.

The confidant knew it, went out of the palace gate and went straight to the city gate, beat the guards hard, and was satisfied with listening to their obedient and terrified expressions.

Then he circled around in a carriage, walked through a corridor from the back door of a restaurant, and knocked on the gate of a courtyard in the alley.

A ten-year-old boy poked out from inside, made a gesture, and his confidant skillfully returned the gesture, and the boy turned sideways to let him in.

Passing through the corner gate of the courtyard, it is like the palace of the fifteen princes!

The confidant disguised himself in the yard, and went in like an ordinary servant. No one recognized him as the big red man in front of the emperor's chief steward.

He respectfully saluted the handsome man in the study, and whispered the manager's words: "My lord, the master said that now is the best time and should not be missed."

"I know," Long Zhiyu replied without raising his head, and asked absent-mindedly, "I heard that Miss Xie disappeared, is it true?"

The confidant lowered his head and replied in a straightforward manner: "Yes, the regent's concubine has probably been taken out of Beijing by the Rong people. The regent may have received the letter from the mansion, but he never took any action and went straight to the border town. "

The Fifteenth Prince sneered, and stroked the white porcelain teacup with his fingertips: "The regent has really been ignorant of pity for ten years, but it's a pity. Miss Xie fell into the hands of those barbaric Rong people. It's half dead now."

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Go back and tell your master, this matter cannot be rushed, and the best time is needed. Otherwise, if one misses the blow, the price of failure is beyond our ability to bear."

His confidant's back felt a chill, he hurriedly agreed and left in a hurry.

Long Zhiyu stared at his receding figure, squinted his eyes and murmured: "I'm so big-hearted, I even dare to point fingers at this king's affairs. It seems that the young emperor is not good, otherwise why would the general manager be so nervous?"

The fifteenth prince smiled. It is estimated that the young emperor still does not know that he is surrounded by his people.

To take hold of the young emperor's life, isn't it just a matter of his words?

Xie Yanniang woke up and found herself in an old carriage.

The dumb girl was sitting beside her, and when she realized that Xie Yanniang had woken up, she immediately looked over vigilantly.

Xie Yanniang moved, her hands and feet were bound with cloth strips, and there was a cork in her mouth. It is estimated that the Rong people were also afraid that she would commit suicide again. If she died, they would have no leverage to threaten the regent.

The dumb girl reached out and knocked on the wooden board of the carriage, the carriage stopped immediately, and a tall figure quickly squeezed into the narrow carriage.

Meng Mingqi stared at Xie Yanniang who was struggling, and smiled with a piece of letterhead in his hand: "I have already written to the regent, asking him to lead the army to retreat for thirty miles, and he will save your life. But guess what the regent is doing?" said?"

Xie Yanniang stared at him without saying a word.

Without Meng Mingqi telling her, Xie Yanniang could guess Ruan Jingxin's answer.

He will never compromise with the Rong people, and besides the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him, it is impossible to retreat for her alone.

Furthermore, the young emperor was waiting to catch Ruan Jingxin. If he really retreated, and the hat of collaborating with the enemy and traitor was removed, the regent would not be able to wash himself away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"It seems that the princess is not surprised by the Prince Regent's decision, or did you already guess that your life is not worth mentioning to the Prince Regent?" Meng Mingqi rudely raised her chin, touching Xie Yanniang's delicate skin Leaving a small red mark: "It's really pitiful. When you marry the regent, everyone thinks that the princess is a sparrow flying on a branch to become a phoenix. Who knows it's just the regent's expedient measure?"

"If he doesn't marry a wife, the emperor will definitely have time to point out marriage. Instead of this, it is better to pick a woman of ordinary background. The emperor will definitely not block it, but is happy to see it. Miss Xie seems to be the regent's hand." A pawn on the table, so as to gag the emperor's mouth?"

Xie Yanniang's gaze was still as calm as ever, and these things seemed to have been within her expectations.

Meng Mingqi squinted his eyes, as if he really underestimated this woman, and every confrontation seemed to refresh his impression of Qing Guo women.

I thought that girls from the Qing Kingdom looked soft and weak. If they heard that they were in deep danger, but their husband refused to save him, they would have cried to death long ago. How could she be as calm as Xie Yanniang?
"Miss Xie knew that she was a pawn in the hands of the regent, and she is still willing to do so? I should say that the girl is naive, wanting to get close to the regent's side, and live a life of wealth and wealth. Or should I say that the girl is stupid, so she is not afraid. Did he die silently before enjoying the blessings, and die in pain in a place that no one knows?"

Xie Yanniang simply closed her eyes and stopped looking at Meng Mingqi.

Meng Mingqi suddenly burst out laughing: "Interesting, it really is interesting. She is indeed the girl chosen by the Prince Regent, she is different from those little girls in Qing Kingdom who would die if they were pinched!"

He saw Xie Yanniang opened her eyes again, and pinched her chin with a big hand: "The regent is so ignorant, he should kill you and throw you anywhere. But for the sake of Miss Xie being so interesting." , so what if I let you live a few more days?"

"The regent has already arrived at the border town, and I can't wait to fight him again. This time the Rong people have tried their best, and I don't believe he can really resist it alone."

Meng Mingqi didn't care that Xie Yanniang couldn't answer her, and said to himself: "No matter how powerful you think the regent is, he is not the emperor after all. The new emperor of Qing Dynasty regards him as a thorn in his flesh. If he wins, the regent will not be able to go back. If he loses, He is even more reluctant to go back. You are a cowardly princess, and you have been a widow not long after passing the door, and you will really be a widow after a while."

His big hand brushed against Xie Yanniang's fragile neck, as if with a little force, this woman would easily die in his hands.

But the appearance of her going to death with all her heart made Meng Mingqi feel uncomfortable.

Because Xie Yanniang thought about it for the regent, and didn't want to be a bargaining chip, used by him to threaten Ruan Jingxin.

Is that man so good that Xie Yanniang will follow her even though she knows she is being used regardless of her life?
Meng Mingqi reached out to remove the cork from her mouth, and immediately pierced Xie Yanniang's lips with two fingers, preventing her from biting her tongue to kill herself: "If you die, the two maidservants who follow you will also die!"

Xie Yanniang was startled, did she think that Xue Ling and Xue Yan were also in the hands of this man?
She glared at Meng Mingqi angrily, no matter what he said was true or not, he didn't dare to take two lives as a joke.

"Anyway, the regent can't survive, do you want to consider following me?"

It was Xie Yanniang who answered Meng Mingqi: "Even if I die, I will not marry a Rong tribe."

He was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "What's wrong with the Rong people? If it weren't for the vast grasslands, we couldn't grow them. We looked around for a suitable place to live, but found nothing. We sincerely asked the surrounding countries for help, but innocent people were killed. Especially It's the Qing Kingdom. I don't know how many people of the Rong people have been killed. We have a mortal hatred with us. You, a little girl, can't understand the hardships of the Rong people, and you can't see clearly the abhorrentness of the Qing country. do not blame you."

Xie Yanniang turned her face away, too lazy to talk to Meng Mingqi.

She really couldn't understand the hardships of the Rong people, but did the Rong people kill fewer Qing people?
