Shanhe Festival 185. News
This is a very inconspicuous town not far from Ruyang City. It is also the first market town they saw after leaving the imperial mausoleum. There are only a hundred households in total. Every two days, people from nearby villages bring their extra things here to exchange for other things they need, which makes the town seem more lively. When they entered the town, they just caught up with the market in the town.
City, Tan Jizhi changed his clothes, and the three of them looked like an old man and a young couple as a family of three, and they did not attract too much attention.
After entering a dilapidated inn, the three of them soon found themselves in the backyard of the inn, which was obviously the base that Tan Jizhi had prepared long ago. Completely different from the dilapidated and simple front of the inn, the backyard was clean and quiet, unlike the scenery that could be found in this northwestern town. As soon as they entered the courtyard, someone came out to greet them, "Jizhi, you are finally back."
The person who came was a charming lady in a blue robe. She didn't care that there were outsiders present and rushed into Tan Jizhi's arms and said in a coquettish voice: "Jizhi, you are finally back. I have been worried for a long time that you might have an accident." Tan Jizhi was obviously very tolerant of this young woman. His originally gloomy face also showed a little smile. He said softly: "I am not
Are you okay? Sorry to have worried you." The woman in blue left his embrace and saw Ye Li and Doctor Lin standing beside her. Of course, her eyes were mainly focused on Ye Li, pointing at Ye Li with eyes full of jealousy and disgust, "Who is this woman?!"
Ye Li's mouth twitched. "Big sister, can't you see that I'm still pregnant? Aren't you being too jealous?"
Tan Jizhi quickly held her and said softly, "Lin'er, she is still useful and cannot move. You know, you are the only one in my heart."
The blue-clothed woman was not satisfied with this, and stared at Tan Jizhi unwillingly, "You haven't told me who she is yet." Tan Jizhi smiled helplessly and said, "She is Princess Ding, so... don't hurt her." A gleam of brilliance flashed across the blue-clothed woman's eyes, and she leaned against Tan Jizhi and looked at Ye Li in front of her, "Princess Ding? Isn't Princess Ding dead? Why is she here?
"In there?" Tan Jizhi said softly, "It was an accident. You should have someone take good care of her." The woman in blue smiled and said, "Don't worry. When have I ever failed to do something you asked me to do?" Tan Jizhi nodded and said to Ye Li, "Princess Ding, we will stay here for two days. If you have anything, you can tell Lin'er. She will help you."
Ye Li had no opinion on this, but the woman in blue was unhappy. She glared at Tan Jizhi and said, "What do you mean? I'm not her girl!"
So, Tan Jizhi coaxed her with sweet words again, and it took a long time to make her happy. He snorted and said, "Okay, I will take good care of her."
Ye Li didn't care about the two people flirting in front of her. She just lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. But her mind was racing. She had definitely never seen this woman named Lin'er before, but... her voice sounded familiar... She looked up at the woman in blue. She was in her early twenties, very beautiful, with a hint of curiosity between her brows.
She had a strange and evil charm, but the look she gave Tan Jizhi seemed full of love. And her voice… She spoke the Central Plains dialect very well, but people like Ye Li who had received some special hearing training could still find that the pronunciation of some places would have some sounds. Ye Lizhi had met someone who spoke this way, Princess Anxi of Nanzhao. Looking at the person in front of him
The woman in blue, Ye Li's expression remained unchanged. Lin'er...Lin'er...The Saintess of Southern Xinjiang - Shu Manlin.
It seems that their previous guesses were a little wrong. They used to think that Shu Manlin and Mo Jingli were in cahoots with each other, but now it seems that... Mo Jingli is just a tool and a shield. The real mastermind behind the scenes is the young man in front of him with a gentle smile, Tan Jizhi. After thinking this through, Ye Li had a new evaluation of Tan Jizhi.
Height. A person who is silent and unknown, but can play two countries in the palm of his hand. Compared with the sometimes crazy and sometimes impulsive Mo Jingqi and the brainless Mo Jingli, the man in front of him is the one who should be on guard.
"What are you thinking about so absent-mindedly, Princess?" Tan Jizhi finally communicated with the woman in blue, turned around and stared at Ye Li and asked tentatively.
Ye Li glanced at him calmly. How could she be absent-minded in such a place? "Nothing. I just felt a little emotional when I saw how good the relationship between Lord Tan and Miss Lin was." The woman in blue leaned against Tan Jizhi and giggled, "Does Princess Ding miss Prince Ding?" Ye Li smiled and did not refute. She said quietly, "I have been away from home for a long time. I not only miss the prince, but also miss my family.
I have not received any news from my elder brother before the accident. Does Lord Tan have any news?"
"Brother?" Tan Jizhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Are you talking about Xu Qingchen, the eldest son of the Xu family?"
Ye Li nodded, and clearly saw that the blue-dressed woman's expression stiffened for a moment, and a trace of resentment and unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She smiled slightly in her heart, and it seemed that the woman in front of her was indeed the Saint Shu Manlin of Southern Xinjiang. Although she did not see Shu Manlin's true face in the secret room of the Southern Xinjiang Palace that day, she heard her voice talking to her eldest brother.
The obsession and madness of the man who wanted to get his brother, it seemed that he didn't want to be with the woman in front of him who was devoted to Tan Ji. Sure enough...are they all masters of acting?
Tan Jizhi was placed in a room at the deepest part of the courtyard and never showed up again. However, the beautiful woman in blue would come over from time to time under the pretext of taking care of her, and then say some provocative and mocking words. Every time she saw Ye Li smiling calmly, she would grit her teeth in anger. Ye Li was not dissatisfied with this, Tan Jizhi
Ye Li was not allowed to talk to her or contact her. After a while, she was worried that she would suffer from depression. It was good to have someone to sharpen her teeth. But Ye Li was a little curious. Was it because of Tan Jizhi or Xu Qingchen that this woman who was suspected to be Shu Manlin was targeting her?
"You can hold it in." After taking her pulse, Doctor Lin said as he packed up his things.
Ye Li leaned back in her chair and drank the tonic she had just cooked. She smiled and said, "It's hard to say whether I can bear it or not. Master, don't you think that life is much more comfortable now than in the imperial mausoleum or in that small village?" If you need to take any tonic or medicinal materials, or do anything, there should be someone to help you at any time. This is what a pregnant woman should do. Instead of following people who are not familiar with her to dig graves in the mountains and seas. Doctor Lin stared at her with a complicated expression, "Aren't you worried that he will use you to bind the king?"
Ye Li shrugged helplessly, "Since it has already fallen into his hands, what's the point of worrying? He can't embarrass me before the child is born, right? But you, Master... I think it's not a good thing that Tan Jizhi stayed in our prince's territory knowing that there is danger." Doctor Lin's face changed slightly. He certainly knew why Tan Jizhi didn't leave and stayed here. It's not that Tan Jizhi didn't look for him these two days, but... Doctor Lin's old face had a bitter smile, "I said I really don't know, do you believe me?"
Ye Li nodded, "I believe it." Just by looking at the message on the cloth, you can tell what a perverted and evil person the former emperor was. He was totally capable of not letting anyone know the true whereabouts of himself and the treasure. "It's a pity that Tan Jizhi didn't believe it." Doctor Lin sighed silently. Looking at Ye Li, Doctor Lin said, "You are not in a hurry now because you are confident that you can escape from here. What?"
Ye Li looked at him with some regret and said, "In the past, this place really couldn't hold me. But now... Master, I don't have the ability for a pregnant woman who is seven months pregnant to escape from the tiger's mouth alone. In fact, there is no need to worry about these. If Tan Jizhi is smart, he should know what benefits he can get with the chips in his hand. And Mo Xiuyao..." Thinking of Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li's eyes became much softer, "Even if there is some cost... I believe he won't mind. As long as Master Tan doesn't ask for too much and dream of some impossible conditions. Master Tan, who are you?"
Tan Jizhi walked in from outside with a sullen face, and naturally followed by the beautiful Southern Xinjiang Saint Shu Manlin. Tan Jizhi looked at Ye Li who was sitting in a comfortable chair with a soft cushion and looked relaxed, and smiled faintly: "It is said that those who know the current affairs are outstanding, and the princess really makes me look at you with new eyes." Ye Li nodded and accepted his praise, saying: "The fish will die and the net will be broken, and both sides will suffer losses. What's more, I can't even do it in my current situation."
Tan Jizhi sneered and said, "Your Highness, you are too modest. By the way, I have a good news to tell you, which should make you happy. Today... soldiers from the Mohist Army suddenly appeared in this town. What do you think... is going on?" Ye Li was calm and composed, pretending not to see Tan Jizhi's inquiring gaze at her. She smiled and said, "You should ask Lord Tan about this, right? If Lord Tan really suspects that I have done something, I can't do anything about it, right? I am the fish on the chopping board..." Tan Jizhi snorted and said, "It's good that your Highness understands your situation. You'd better... don't take risks with the young master. If something unexpected happens, not only Prince Ding but also I will be very sorry." Ye Li held the teacup in her hand. She nodded to Tan Jizhi and smiled, "Thank you for your reminder, Master Tan. Since Master Tan said so, I will give Master Tan a suggestion. It is best to leave the northwest as soon as possible. Since the prince has already noticed, the Mohist Army may be easy to deal with, but the secret guards are not so easy for Master Tan to deal with. If this attracts Qilin again... Master Tan, I really don't want to say whether you have made a profit or a loss in this business."
Tan Jizhi's eyes twitched slightly. He had followed Mo Jingqi for many years and had dealt with the dark guards. How could he not know how powerful they were? As for Qilin... Although he had not come into contact with it, Qilin had become famous in the past six months, so Tan Jizhi had to be cautious everywhere. Looking at Doctor Lin sitting next to him, Tan Jizhi's face flashed with unwillingness. Shu Manlin obviously disagreed, and stood up and said, "Jizhi, don't forget the purpose of our trip. If we go back like this..."
The imperial seal is a symbol of destiny. The founding treasures are said to be countless treasures accumulated by the previous emperor Gaozu after years of fighting. After the founding of the country, these treasures were hidden in a secret place. There are also the legendary military books and secret manuals. The previous emperor Gaozu was a master of war, but later generations did not leave even one of his military books. It is said that these... were hidden by Gaozu and are waiting for future generations to find them. As long as we have these, why worry about not accomplishing great things? Tan Jizhi gritted his teeth and waved his hand, saying, "Come on, beat Doctor Lin down!" Two men appeared at the door, took orders and came in to take Doctor Lin away. Ye Li frowned, "Master Tan, you took Doctor Lin away, what should I do?" Tan Jizhi looked at her and said calmly, "Don't worry, Princess Ding, Lin'er and I also know a little bit about medicine. As long as we leave the Northwest, I will definitely find another famous doctor to take care of you."
"He is your father!" Ye Li said in a deep voice, looking at the expressionless Doctor Lin.
Shu Manlin snorted and said, "What kind of father is he? He just took advantage of the fact that he raised Jizhi. Jizhi is a descendant of the previous dynasty, and he is just a servant of the royal family. Jizhi showed some respect to him because he raised him, but does he really think he is Jizhi's relative? Take him away!"
Watching Doctor Lin being taken away, Ye Li closed her eyes tiredly. She stared at Tan Jizhi and said in a deep voice, "You will regret it."
Tan Jizhi sneered disdainfully and said, "Princess, have a good rest. We will set off early tomorrow morning." After that, he turned around and walked out with Shu Manlin in his arms. Shu Manlin turned around and gave Ye Li a provocative look. Ye Li glanced at her and was in no mood to pay attention to this boring woman.
Late at night, a fast horse galloped outside Ruyang City, and the soldiers guarding the city immediately became alert. The people below the city seemed to be prepared and threw something up. The soldiers guarding the city took it in their hands, checked it again and again, and waved their hands and said, "Let it go!"
After a while, the city gate opened a gap. The man on the horse didn't care about anything else and quickly rushed into the city with the reins pulled.
In the city where Qilin was stationed, Qin Feng, who had been sleeping soundly, was woken up by someone. His face was a little gloomy. He walked quickly into the study, looked at Mo Hua who was waiting, and asked, "It's so late, what's the matter?"
Mo Hua looked a little strange. After a moment of silence, he took out a folded paper from his bosom and handed it over, saying, "The secret guard just came over. Take a look." Qin Feng frowned. In his hand was a very ordinary prescription. There was nothing wrong with the paper or the handwriting. He raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with the prescription?" Mo Hua said, "This was originally sent by a secret agent under Tianyi Pavilion. A few days ago, two men and one woman came. The woman was a few months pregnant and lived in an inn in the town. That inn is the target of Tianyi Pavilion's current surveillance. Yesterday, the people in the inn went to get medicine. This is a prescription for abortion medicine. But two of the medicines were obviously too heavy. The doctor on duty carefully read the prescription for caution. He found something strange on it, but they couldn't decipher it at all. "
Qin Feng's heart moved, and he looked at Mo Hua with excitement. Mo Hua was silent. The two were silent for a moment, and Qin Feng grabbed the prescription in his hand and slowly looked at it in front of the candlelight. Two lines of himself gradually appeared on the originally clean prescription. Although it was blurry, it did not prevent Qin Feng from looking at the familiar and special question. He couldn't help but said excitedly: "Hurry! Go see the prince, there is news about the princess!"
