Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 159 Thrilling
"What's there to think about?" Jianliu reached out and tugged at Shi Yiqing's sleeve, and said, "When I was in Lin County, I told myself that I would be Miss's person from now on, and unless I died, I would stay by Missy's side for the rest of my life. , wait on Miss."

Shi Yiqing held back the clipper with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what for a lifetime? When you reach the age, I will let the nanny find an honest family and marry you off."

She blushed and shrank behind Mo Xian, Shi Yiqing smiled and asked Mo Xian: "What about you? You have been serving in Shi's family since you were a child, and your food and clothing are more expensive than the young lady from a small family. Are you willing?" Come with me to eat bran swallow vegetables? If you want to go back, I won't blame you, everyone has their own pursuit, not to mention, I believe you won't tell me about me."

Mo Xian lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "If in the past, if Miss told me that she was going to leave the Shi family, I might have hesitated to go with Miss, but after going through that kind of life and death, I just realized that no matter what wealth is, It's fake, no matter how good the food is and how good the clothes are, in the end there is only one way to choose, and that is death. If this is the case, what else should I expect? It is good to stay in Shi's house, but without freedom and dignity, life It's better to die, it's better to follow the lady, and live a lifetime to understand."

Jian Liu tilted his head and said with a smile: "I didn't realize that you still have this sour energy. What's the matter today? Suddenly enlightened, you became a Buddha immediately?"

Shi Yiqing held Shi Congti in his arms and watched Mo Xian blushing and fighting with Jianliu. He turned his eyes to the farmer who was about to ask for the way, when he suddenly saw a man riding in on a tall horse leading soldiers in, and hurriedly told him Mo Xian winked, hugged Shi Congti and went into a tavern, pretending to order food, and called Xiaoer over.

The man sitting in the tavern, eating meat and drinking, looked outside and asked, "What happened?"

Another person replied: "It is said that a horse thief robbed the carriage of Shi's family in the capital and killed Miss Shi's family. No, the emperor specially ordered His Highness King Qi to destroy the Heiyun village to avenge Miss Shi's family."

The person earlier touched his forehead and said: "Hey, I seem to have heard about this matter vaguely. It is said that Miss Shi's family didn't have to die in the first place, but later it was said that she blocked an arrow for that young master of the Mu family. of."

The man on the table next to him sat down with a wine glass, and said with great interest: "What, you are talking about the young lady of the Xiao family, Miss Shi's cousin. It is said that Miss Shi's whereabouts are unknown now, and some people say that she is a horse thief who escaped." He was kidnapped and went to Heiyun Village, and the Shi family requested an order for His Royal Highness King Qi to attack Heiyun Village."

"Did Miss Shi's family survive?"

"If it is saved, does King Qi still need to send people to search around?"

The big man before said with a smile that had nothing to do with himself: "Hey, pitiful, such a young and beautiful woman, she just doesn't know where she is going. If I meet this, I'd like to see how she looks. In my opinion, everyone in Heiyunzhai died in vain."

Later people frowned and said in dissatisfaction: "Heiyunzhai has robbed and robbed houses for so many years. If it weren't for the internal and external troubles of the court, how dare they kill people and steal goods at the feet of the emperor? What do you mean by dying for a woman? I think they should all die! They are innocent My girl, whoever provoked me, why did the people from Heiyunzhai insist on grabbing her young lady!"

Someone stepped forward to persuade and said: "It's okay, it's okay! It's broad daylight, drink some wine and don't mess up!"

In the noisy tavern, Shi Yiqing was sitting in the corner and couldn't recover. Mo Xian and Jianliu, who were sitting across from each other, looked at each other worriedly. A figure staggered in.

Everyone in the tavern stopped moving and looked at the general in armor at the door.

"Speak, call, fight, why don't you move?"

The familiar but unfamiliar voice broke into Shi Yiqing's world, Shi Yiqing was so startled that he subconsciously hugged Shi Congti tightly, lowered his head as much as possible and huddled in the corner.

The person who came was none other than Gao Qichang who had been looking for Shi Yiqing for four whole days. He walked slowly into the tavern, his always smiling eyes were full of evil spirits: "Aren't you guys going to talk about the Shi family? Didn't you talk about it with gusto just now?" Why? Why don't you say it? Say it!"

The people in the tavern turned pale in horror, and were about to leave the tavern in the shape of birds and beasts, when the anxious tavern owner stomped behind him, but he didn't dare to shout.

"Don't leave after eating the overlord's meal, at least pay for your own meal." Those big men turned pale and fled without looking back.

Shi Yiqing bowed his back and wanted to go out with the big flow. Gao Qichang, who was sitting opposite Dama Jindao, said leisurely: "So you want to leave now? Don't mind, it seems that I have been looking for you for four days without sleep. For the sake of it, tell me what's going on, and it's not too late to leave!"

But it was said that Gao Qichang found him from the accident site in the suburbs of Beijing, and her recklessness almost drove him crazy. Colt Town.

Hurrying over with the soldiers, he recognized Shi Yiqing who was in a panic in the crowd at a glance. He was afraid that he would scare the snake away and let her escape. Seeing her dodging and entering the tavern, he asked the soldiers to quietly surround the tavern to prevent her from escaping. Come in and look for her.

Shi Yiqing knew that since Gao Qichang recognized him, he would definitely not let him escape, not to mention, how could she, a weak woman who had been hungry for four days, outrun a four-legged horse with her family and her children?

Thinking of this, Shi Yiqing became honest, slapped the dust off his body, and pretended to ask indifferently: "You and I are really destined, so we can meet each other."

What she said was so calm, as if they had never experienced life and death. Everything was just a dream. She met by chance.

Gao Qichang let out a deep breath, and said: "Yes, if you hadn't revealed your whereabouts, I'm afraid I'd turn the entire capital upside down, and I wouldn't be able to find you."

Shi Yiqing knew that he misunderstood that he was hiding from him on purpose, and explained: "If I hadn't been trapped in the woods for three days and just found the way out, when you find me, I'm afraid I'm going to hug you and cry Three days and three nights, and you will never see me who is so peaceful."

Gao Qichang forced a smile and accepted the explanation: "I just heard from the peasant woman who rescued you that you are going to Hangzhou? Why? You must know that the Shi family is going crazy looking for you now."

"I'm going to Hangzhou. The Shi family has nothing to do with me now. It doesn't make any difference to me whether they look for it or not. It's you instead." Shi Yiqing paused, looking at Gao Qichang with complicated eyes, "Before You told me that you want me to leave, is this true or false?"

"So what if it's true, and what if it's false?"

"If it's true, just pretend you haven't seen me. There is no Shi Yiqing in this world, only Xin Yi. But if it's false, you can take me back to ask for credit. In this world, Xin Yi is dead, and there is only Shi Yiqing who is like an empty shell." I survived." Shi Yiqing said with a faint smile, "Shi Yiqing's life and death are in your hands."

Gao Qichang pointed at the soldiers outside with a bitter face: "You think highly of me. I can't do it alone. After all, soldiers like me have seen you. Everyone knows that Shi Yiqing is still alive."

"You are the think tank next to King Qi, and you can't even block their mouths. What else can you do?"

Gao Qichang was taken aback, staring at Shi Yiqing: "Are you really going?"

"I just want to live my own life." Shi Yiqing said decisively, "There is no day for intrigue."

"Okay." Gao Qichang responded happily, "I can let you go. But, can you go to Hangzhou on your own, penniless?"

Shi Yiqing was taken aback by the question, turned his eyes and smiled and said: "Young Master Gao is a gentleman, seeing me in trouble as a little girl, I can't bear it, I'm afraid he wants to reward me with some money to go home, isn't it?"

Gao Qichang was amused and laughed, and said: "I have a lot of broken money, I can give it to you, but not now. Store, open two upper rooms, give the three ladies a hot bath, and take care of me." Already, Lord Jun, I will not treat you badly!"

The storekeeper responded cheerfully, kicked Xiaoer who was stunned to the side, and bowed himself to invite Shi Yiqing to go upstairs.Shi Yiqing didn't understand what kind of tricks Gao Qichang was playing, seeing that he couldn't get out now, he obediently followed him up the stairs and into the room.

The waiter fetched hot water and came in, brought in some dresses made of high-quality silk, leaned over and said with a smile: "The three ladies wash slowly, the master below has asked the cook from Chunxiang Building to come over and take care of the spoon. Dinner will be ready in a while."

Shi Yiqing stared at the wooden barrel filled with hot water in a daze, and looked at Mo Xian and Jianliu face to face. It took him a while to realize that he could only cry and laugh. He washed himself clean, changed into the clean dress he sent, and wrapped himself up. Be strict.

When Shi Yiqing was invited out by the clerk to come downstairs, it was already dark, and Gao Qichang was the only one sitting in the huge tavern.Shi Yiqing couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he obediently walked forward and sat down.

Seeing that Gao Qichang wanted to entertain Shi Yiqing alone, Mo Xian dragged Jianliu and carried Shi Cong to another table full of food to eat, leaving the two of them talking.

Shi Yiqing, who had been hungry for four whole days, saw that the table was full of meat but couldn't eat any more. After barely eating two mouthfuls of food, he stopped his chopsticks and said, "Even Mo Xian can tell, you have something to tell me, take advantage of me. If you’re not tired yet, let’s talk quickly.”

Gao Qichang reversed his usual indecency, lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You know that Miss Seven of the Xiao family is dead, right?"

Grief spread rapidly in his heart, Shi Yiqing barely suppressed himself from collapsing, lowered his eyes and nodded, and said, "I heard what they said just now, I understand."

"You don't want to know how she died?"

"Wait for me for a hundred years, and I'll go underground and ask her. As for now, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Gao Qichang stared blankly at Shi Yiqing in front of him, sighed after a while, and said, "You always surprise me. When I first met you, you surprised me. At this time , you are no exception."

Shi Yiqing wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief: "If you just want to tell me about Xiaoqi, then I've finished listening. If you have nothing to say to me, I have something to tell you."

Gao Qichang raised his hand, motioning for Shi Yiqing to speak.

Shi Yiqing looked at the candles on the table with cold eyes, and said coldly: "I made a hasty decision about leaving Beijing to Fahua Temple. Even if someone wants to harm me, I should know my itinerary. If I guessed correctly, Shi Yiqing Someone in my family wanted to harm me. I offended a lot of people in Shi's family. They wanted to harm me. I have nothing to blame. I just gave them this life, but Xiao Qi shouldn't... Xiao Qi shouldn't die for me. Those who took Xiao Qi's life, I will make them pay in blood."

After a pause, Shi Yiqing turned to look at Gao Qichang: "But I'm beyond my reach now, and I can't deal with them. So I want to ask Mr. Gao one thing."

"You said."

"Help me find out who that person is, and avenge Xiao Qi for me." Shi Yiqing stood up, knelt in front of Gao Qichang, "If Mr. Gao can help me avenge this revenge, I would like the celestial grass to repay your great kindness." .”

"Get up, I'll help you."

Seeing Shi Yiqing get up and sit back on the chair, Gao Qichang took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket with downcast eyes, and said, "This is the Wanda banknote that is used throughout the country, and you can change it as you need it."

Shi Yiqing raised his hand to take it: "Thank you, my lord."

Gao Qichang avoided her hand: "There is only one thank you?"

Shi Yiqing was taken aback for a moment, seeing that Gao Qichang smiled complicatedly, and asked in puzzlement, "What do you want, my lord?"

Gao Qichang twitched his lips, counted the banknotes in his hand, and said: "Here are ten 500 tael bills, and there are some 100 tael bills left. Even if I, a Qingshui official, save for a lifetime, I'm afraid I won't be able to save it. I just gave you the envoy casually, I really feel sorry for it. How about this, you make a written statement, and I don't want your interest, as long as you pay back the principal."

Seeing Gao Qichang pull out a pocketbook from his bosom as if conjuring, Shi Yiqing couldn't help crying and laughing, let Gao Qichang grab his hand, and pressed his fingerprint on it.

Satisfied, Gao Qichang put the money in his arms, and said with a smile on his face: "It's all right now, with this money, I can find you even if you are in the ends of the world."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Qichang immediately put on a serious face, and said to Shi Yiqing seriously: "Miss Xinyi, you are a sincere person, I think you will definitely abide by our agreement, and when you arrive in Hangzhou, someone will give you money Give it to me. Well, I think I came to the door to ask for it quickly and steadily, who knows if those bastards will hide it for me, and even falsely accuse you of not returning it to me, sowing discord between you and me. "

Shi Yiqing saw that what he said was high-sounding, so he didn't try to expose him, but just smiled lightly, acquiescing.

When the moon was in the sky, Shi Yiqing suddenly asked him: "You have prepared so well, as if you knew I was here, but I can't figure it out, how did you know?"

Gao Qichang took a sip of tea and said, "When my soldiers were inquiring in Xiahe Village, a peasant woman pointed to your portrait and said she knew you. Seeing that she described you as having a nose and eyes, she was brought to me. At first she refused to say , I was willing to beat her, and later she asked me if there was any reward, and I said yes, and she said that you have arrived in Fengju Town, and I asked the soldiers to bring her here just in case."

Seeing Shi Yiqing frowning with a sullen expression, he couldn't help asking: "Do you want me to let her go?"

"Not only did she see me along the way, but she was the first to know my whereabouts." Shi Yiqing said with cold eyes, "This matter is big or small, if she points out that you brought her to find me, it's a big deal. When you returned to Beijing, you said that Shi Yiqing was dead, and you couldn't even find the body, so I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with."

"You want me to kill her?"

"It's not possible." Shi Yiqing held a water glass and said in thought, "I heard that there are many tortures in the palace, even people with hard bones can't survive it, why don't you show her to experience it, let her broaden her horizons, Then tell her what to say and what not to say."

Gao Qichang drank the water in the glass in one gulp, and said, "This matter is on me."

That night, Shi Yiqing and Gao Qichang agreed on how to deceive everyone and fabricate her death. The next day, as soon as the sun was shining, Gao Qichang asked his confidants to take Shi Yiqing and the others out of Fengju Town.

All the way to Hangzhou, Shi Yiqing followed the address to find the manor called Lv'e that Uncle Zhong bought in Feishui Town. Uncle Zhong was so happy to see the intact Shi Yiqing that he burst into tears. Let people go to the capital to find Madam Xu, and settle Shi Yiqing well.

Accustomed to seeing the rich red bricks and green tiles in the capital, far away from intrigues, Shi Yiqing truly felt that he had lived a new life.

On the seventh day when Shi Yiqing nestled in Lu'e Garden, Uncle Zhong came in with a complicated expression, handed her a letter, and said: "Miss, I don't know who left this letter at the door and left. "

Shi Yiqing shook the letter away, saw the familiar characters jumping on the paper, couldn't help being slightly taken aback, read it quietly, and then stayed for a while, seeing the wind blowing over, the letter paper danced like a butterfly, following the flying Turn into dust.

Mo Xian, who was walking up to him with a teacup, was taken aback for a moment, turned his eyes to look, and saw the words "Qing'er, My Sister" written on the paper, he couldn't help being stunned, subconsciously bent down to pick it up, and was about to take a closer look. , was suddenly snatched away by Shi Yiqing, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and asked: "Miss, are you okay?"

Shi Yiqing waved his hand, raised his eyes and said to Uncle Zhong: "She is gone, and what I have said to you is insignificant. If you want to leave, I won't keep it. If you want to stay, you can only listen to me in the future." Command, but there is betrayal, you know what will happen."

Uncle Zhong lowered his hands and said in a low voice, "Yes, miss."

Shi Yiqing waved Uncle Zhong back out, refused Mo Xian's support, locked himself in the room alone, and then let himself howl loudly.

She left, and left quietly again, until she couldn't keep the secret anymore, and finally told her the truth through someone else's hand.She left, as determined as she was many years ago, and she will never see her again.Now, she really only has Shi Congti as her relative.

As Shi Yiqing expected, not many people knew of Shi Xuanfu's departure. The black clothes who accompanied her all the year round handled her funeral personally, arranged the will left by her birth, and buried her in Fahua. In the backyard of the temple, he left this world contentedly.

Half a year later, Grandma Xu finally came to Feishui Town from Beijing. She was not happy when she saw Shi Yiqing for the first time.

Shi Yiqing asked suspiciously: "Nurse, did something happen?"

Madam Xu said dryly, "Miss, if I tell you all, please don't drive me away."

"What the hell did you do, tell me! Don't make me worry."

Nanny Xu lowered her eyes anxiously, and said, "I thought I was hiding enough, but I was discovered by someone. That person, he..."

Shi Yiqing turned his eyes and said with a wry smile: "That man's surname is Gao, he is the third in the family, isn't he? Where is he now?"

Mother Xu looked at Shi Yiqing in surprise, and subconsciously yelled: "Miss, how did you know? Could it be that Gao Qichang was already here before me?"

Someone knocked on the door, and Uncle Zhong led the two boys over to have a look, and saw that although the man was dressed plainly, he was exuding the noble aura cultivated over the years, he couldn't help being stunned, and remembered his name: " Young Master Gao San, how did you come here?"
