Chapter 182: Marquis Yongyi's Accident
Xiao Huaiyuan walked forward and helped Qin Junyi sit down on the armchair beside him.
He said, "Young Marquis, I'm afraid it's impossible now. The city gates close at the end of the 3:00 PM. Unless you have General Feng Huai's token, you can't get out."
"How about tomorrow morning?" Sun Song took over Xiao Huaiyuan's words and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will take the young marquis to the military camp."
Qin Junyi knew very well that he couldn't force things in this foreign place. Although he was very anxious, he suppressed his anxiety when he thought that he would see Qin Shiyuan tomorrow.
Sun Song noticed that Qin Junyi looked a little off and said, "Young Marquis Qin, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go downstairs and eat something first."
Qin Junyi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Thank you both for coming today. If you have anything else to do, please go ahead and do yours. I'll trouble you to take me to the military camp tomorrow."
"Okay, then we'll leave first." After Xiao Huaiyuan said this, he pulled Sun Song out of the room.
After the two left, Qin Junyi leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.
He should have been alert earlier. When he left Bian Jing, the woman told him that if he was going to Longxi and was joining the Xie family's caravan, he would not need to bring guards.
It was not easy for Xie Rongying to stay in the Marquis' Mansion. In addition, the second and third houses were eyeing her covetously, so she asked the people around her to stay in the Marquis Yongyi's Mansion.
In addition, he was wary of Xie Rongying, so he asked the people around him to stay in the Marquis' Mansion to keep an eye on Xie Rongying.
While keeping an eye on Xie Rongying, he was also on guard against the people from the second and third rooms.
He should have been suspicious at that time, but everything about that woman was exactly the same as Shangguan Yao, and she analyzed the pros and cons for him.
He also believed in Shangguan Yao wholeheartedly and listened to what the woman said.
I didn’t expect that now, I can’t even use a single hand.
We still have to rely on the Xie family.
Thinking of the look of disgust that Xie Rongying's cousin had shown towards him along the way, he took another deep breath.
I originally didn't want to see my father because I didn't want to see Qin Shiyuan getting along with that concubine Zhou.
But now I have to meet Qin Shiyuan.
——
Xiao Huaiyuan and Sun Song returned to the Xie family's villa in Guancheng.
Xie Changfeng had returned from the military camp a long time ago.
Xiao Huaiyuan and Sun Song briefly recounted what happened at Tongfu Inn.
Xie Changfeng didn't think there was anything strange about it. After all, he knew some inside information, such as the true identities of Shangguan Yao and Shangguan Yan from Longxi. Considering the influence of the Shangguan family in Longxi, it was not surprising that Shangguan Yao abandoned Qin Junyi.
Seeing that Xie Changfeng didn't look surprised, the two of them didn't continue talking.
Xie Changfeng asked Sun Song to take Xiao Huaiyuan to the military camp tomorrow, and Sun Song nodded in agreement.
The next day.
At the beginning of the Si hour, Sun Song went to Tongfu Inn.
Qin Junyi hadn't slept all night and looked much more haggard.
Sun Song was also shocked when he saw Qin Junyi's haggard appearance. How could a person change so much after not seeing him for just one night? There were even a few strands of silver hair on his temples.
"Young Marquis Qin, if we leave the city now, we should be at the military camp by the end of the Si hour." After Sun Song and Qin Junyi left the Tongfu Inn, the horses were already ready. "Young Marquis, can you ride a horse? These horses are quite docile. Let's go."
Qin Junyi said nothing and simply jumped onto the horse.
Seeing this, Sun Song raised his eyebrows and also jumped onto the horse.
Perhaps Qin Junyi knew the consequences of the secret letter being missing, so he walked very fast and his expression became increasingly solemn.
We arrived at the military camp at the end of the Si hour.
When Sun Song took Qin Junyi and walked towards Qin Shiyuan's tent, he happened to meet Xie Yi who was leading the troops in training.
"Fourth Uncle!" Sun Song's face was full of joy as he walked forward towards Xie Yi.
When Xie Yi saw Sun Song jogging towards him, he spoke to the people around him and then walked towards Sun Song.
"Why are you here?" Xie Yi said as he looked at Qin Junyi who was standing not far away, frowning.
Sun Song followed Xie Yi's gaze and looked at Qin Junyi, saying, "After all, you are the eldest girl's uncle. How come you didn't even say hello when you met?"
"He and Rong Ying have disliked each other for a long time. It's normal for him to dislike people from the Xie family." Xie Yi didn't mind and walked towards Qin Junyi.
Qin Junyi saw Xie Yi coming over and called out stiffly, "General Xie."
Xie Yi smiled faintly: "Are you here to look for your father?"
Qin Junyi nodded.
"Your father and General Feng have led their troops to Jinguankou. I'm afraid they won't be back today." Xie Yi frowned. "Are you waiting for him in the army, or are you going back to the city to wait?"
Qin Junyi frowned: "My father is not in the military camp?"
Xie Yi nodded.
Qin Junyi's face showed a trace of pain. He asked, "When will my father come back?"
"I'm not sure about that. It could take two or three days at the fastest, or half a month at the slowest." Xie Yi knew from Qin Junyi's expression that he had something important to say to Qin Shiyuan. He continued, "If you have something important to say, you'll have to wait."
Qin Junyi wanted to say that he couldn't wait, but he held it back and said, "Then I'll wait in the army."
"Are you going to your father's tent?" Xie Yi asked tentatively. He knew that Qin Junyi was dissatisfied with the Zhou who accompanied Qin Shiyuan in the army. "Your half-brother's wife is here."
"Thank you, General. Can I wait in your tent for my father to come back?" Qin Junyi's tone finally became better. He also needed a favor from someone.
Xie Yi nodded and smiled faintly: "Of course, Song'er, take the young marquis to the camp, I will continue the training."
"Yes, Fourth Uncle." Sun Song gestured to Qin Junyi, "Young Marquis, please come this way."
Qin Junyi originally thought that he would have to wait in the military camp for at least four or five days before he could see Qin Shiyuan. Unexpectedly, after dark, at three quarters past midnight, he heard the news about his father.
"Oh no, oh no, Fourth Uncle!" Sun Song hurried into the tent. Xie Yi and Qin Junyi were playing chess. "Marquis Yongyi is back."
"You're back so soon?" Xie Yi put down the chess piece in his hand.
And Qin Junyi had already stood up.
Sun Song swallowed and continued, "Marquis Yongyi fell off his horse while passing the steep terrain of Jinkou Pass and fell directly onto the mountain, breaking both his legs!"
"What!?" Qin Junyi walked out of the tent in horror when he heard it.
There was no extra emotion on Xie Yi's face as he walked out of the tent.
Sun Song followed beside him: "You're riding a horse in such a steep place!"
When the three of them arrived at Qin Shiyuan's tent, there were quite a few people standing in the tent. Among them, Feng Huai, with a gloomy face, stared at Qin Shiyuan, who was unconscious on the couch.
What a bad start!
When Qin Junyi walked into the tent, she heard Zhou crying loudly, "Shiyuan, please don't be in trouble. If anything happens to you, what will happen to us mother and son, Shiyuan!"
