Fifty-two
Beitang Qiming was deeply affected by the finger pointed at Beitang Muxiu's death, but because he was the most beloved son of King Diyue, and fratricide was bad for the reputation of the royal family, the matter was suppressed by King Diyue. He announced to the outside world that Beitang Muxiu died from falling from a horse, but secretly sent his own guards to investigate.
Although he had the support of the King of Yue, Beitang Qiming could not leave the mansion without permission.
Three days passed quickly.
"Waves and waves~" The drunkard hummed a tune and walked swaggeringly on the street.
Yunqi happened to meet him when he went out.
After observing his surroundings, he hurried forward and quickly pulled the drunkard aside.
The drunkard was dragged away before he could even look at the person. He sighed several times until he saw that it was Yunqi.
"Hey, it's little Yunqi!"
Yun Qi didn't care what the name was. "Didn't I tell you not to show up? Didn't Ling Junyan arrange for someone to send you away these days?"
"It's arranged."
"Then why do you..."
"Why should I leave?"
"What do you mean?" Yun Qi suddenly realized something and asked in disbelief, "Have you seen Beitang Fenghe?"
The drunkard pursed his lips and smiled after a while.
Yunqi suddenly felt like the sky was falling.
It’s not that he hadn’t been watching him these past few days, he just thought he would just pay some attention to him. Unexpectedly, he didn’t expect that this drunkard would deliberately avoid them to meet him.
After all, they are our own people. It is impossible to guard against them like we would thieves. In the end, someone will find a loophole.
Seeing Yun Qi's resentful expression, the drunkard knew he was in the wrong. He faltered for a moment, then said in a flattering tone, "Hey, don't be so anxious. I'm doing this for everyone's sake. Besides, it's not like I haven't gained anything."
Yun Qi almost wanted to hit someone, "Come on, tell me, what did you gain?"
If you can't tell, strike hard.
The drunkard cleared his throat and glanced at the things outside the corner. He had done quite enough preparations and was obviously confident in what he would get.
Looking at the person in front of him who was stretching his head and looking around, Yun Qi couldn't help but hit him: "What can you look at?"
He couldn't even see Ling Junyan behind him when he was following him last time, so what else could he see?
The drunkard heard the hidden meaning in his words, made a "tsk" sound, but didn't care.
He said, "After three days of investigation, I can basically confirm that Beitang Fenghe is him! He's from our place!"
Yun Qi: “???”
Then the drunkard became excited, "Why are you so serious? This is a good thing. He is the source of our crisis here. Now everything is solved. We can even join forces with him. It would be great if we could go back together!"
"What did you tell him?"
"Huh?" The drunkard suddenly felt a little guilty when asked. He subconsciously touched his wine gourd and said, "Well... didn't say anything. He just brought up some topics from our side, but he didn't say it directly."
"You didn't mention Ling Junyan, right?" Yun Qi's voice was heavy.
The distance between the two men did not change, but the drunkard involuntarily took a half step back.
He truly felt that Yunqi's good qualities of respecting the elderly and loving the young disappeared for a moment.
"No, no, am I that familiar with him? I wouldn't tell him something that only we know internally."
As he spoke, the drunkard's eyes turned and caught sight of something. He quickly reached out, patted Yun Qi's arm, and pointed, reminding him: "Hey, look, look, who is that?"
Yun Qi immediately looked in the direction he pointed.
…
This is... Shi De? ?
"Go to Yunshuju first."
Yun Qi said this and quickly followed. Leaving the drunk man alone, he watched him walk away and said to himself, "A young man is trying to boss me around. I won't!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
The other side
Yun Qi was about to catch up, but the person in front seemed to have noticed it in advance and suddenly turned a corner. When Yun Qi caught up, he could not see the person anywhere.
Just when Yunqi thought he had lost him and was about to give up, he suddenly looked up the next second.
A figure attacked straight down, Yun Qi reacted quickly and dodged backwards, avoiding the man's grasp.
Seeing that the man was about to attack, Yun Qi immediately shouted, "Shi De!"
The man's movements paused noticeably, and then he withdrew his hand and took off his hat, allowing Yun Qi to see his face clearly.
"It's you."
Shi De obviously didn't expect this either.
"Yun Qi? You're not with His Majesty?"
When this matter was mentioned, Yun Qi felt unhappy, "I couldn't find him these past two days."
Shi De didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yun Qi didn't want to continue chatting with him about this topic. He said, "The main thing is, why are you here? Did you just arrive in the past few days, or did you come here with Ling Junyan?"
"Um...I just arrived these past few days."
Yun Qi was surprised. "He didn't tell me you were coming. So... where are you going?"
"I..." Shi De paused for a long time without any follow-up.
Tsk, why is it like this again...
"Did Ling Junyan ask you to do something and not tell me?"
"no."
"What's there to hide? Don't tell me you're here for tourism."
Shi De didn't quite understand and looked at him blankly.
At this moment, Yun Qi felt more of an indescribable sense of frustration than anger. He glanced away for a few seconds, then said in a compromising tone, "Okay, General Shi, I won't make things difficult for you. Just do your job well."
Shi De: “Then…”
Since the two met, Shi De hasn't said two complete sentences.
Yun Qi sighed, "I have things to do too. Let's meet later."
Shi De knew Yun Qi was unhappy, but he could do nothing about it. "Okay."
After the two separated, Yun Qi kept trying to convince himself.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. After all, I'm hiding something from him too. You have to understand, you have to understand. If he can handle it himself, I won't have to worry about it. He won't hurt me anyway, right...
…
No! This is too much! I have to ask him clearly!
Persuasion failed...
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. However, before he could find a way to vent his anger, he saw an arrow stuck in the door of Yunshuju from a distance.
Yunqi pulled it out, and sure enough, there was a piece of paper tied to it.
Unfolding it, it said: Ah Qi, the altar outside the royal city, you know where it is. You, a drunkard, should come here alone, so don’t make me wait too long.
After reading it, Yunqi crumpled the note into a ball.
Qingji saw him standing at the door and went up to him and asked, "Sir?"
Yun Qi asked, "Didn't the drunkard come?"
Qingji shook his head and asked again, "What happened?"
Yun Qi tried his best to remain calm and said, "Go in first."
…
Grand Prince's Mansion
Beitang Qiming was about to go out but was stopped by the guards at the door.
He paused only for a moment before ignoring them and continuing on his way.
The guard immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Prince! Please don't embarrass me."
Beitang Qiming glanced at the two people who lowered their heads and said loudly, "I want to see my father!"
Hearing this, the two guards looked at each other calmly.
"Do you want me to say it again?"
The guard immediately saluted and said, "I dare not. I will report it right away!"
