Qiu Ruoruo seemed to have forgotten Mengsi's existence. She was more interested in Yu Zhi's next actions than Mengsi.
Yu Zhi thought about the simple and crude method he proposed - a beating.
Qiu Ruoruo rolled her eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to Yu Zhi, who was talking nonsense. The other party is at the sixth level of Armor Breaking, and the three of them combined may not be their opponent. Moreover, in Kyoto, such behavior will definitely be punished by the Shuntian Mansion and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division.
"Qiuqiu, can't you let the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division capture him? After all, that Du Ankang also injured Qing Huan." Yu Zhi said.
Qiu Ruoruo walked into Yu Zhi, stretched out her hand and knocked hard on Yu Zhi's forehead.
"Do you really think that the Wucheng Army and Horses Division is run by my family? Brother Ye was injured in the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and no one saw it. Do you want them to confess on their own?" Qiu Ruoruo occasionally doubted Yu Zhi's IQ. Sometimes he is extremely intelligent, but sometimes his words make people think that this child is out of his mind.
Yu Zhi rubbed his forehead and said: "Since the big one can't beat it, the small one can always control it, right?"
Qiu Ruoruo felt that Yu Zhi was thinking too fast and said, "Bai Li is at the Qiuzhi Academy. Brother Xiaoyu, do you think you can get into that academy with your name?"
"Of course I won't go. You and Qing Huan's names are always loud enough. You go challenge Bai Li and beat him up by the way."
It’s really a shame to ask!
Qiu Ruoruo understood that this name was not the world's misunderstanding of him. The truth was that Yu Zhi had insulted the four characters "the shame of asking". This good idea is to let her and Ye Qinghuan challenge a child who has just turned twelve?
Even a daily beating and scolding is not necessarily more humiliating than a challenge.
"Very good."
Ye Qinghuan's voice shocked Qiu Ruoruo even more. She shouted with anger in her tenderness, "Brother Ye." She never expected that Ye Qinghuan, who had always been steady, would imitate Yu Zhi. Qiu Ruoruo blamed Yu Zhi for this crime, and it must be this person who led Ye Qinghuan astray.
Those who are close to vermilion are red, those who are close to ink are black. Qiu Ruoruo began to have deep doubts about how true the saying in the poetry book, "It comes out of the mud but remains unstained".
"You really think..."
Qiu Ruoruo flicked her sleeves and left angrily, forgetting to ask the reason for Yu Zhi's disappearance. Ye Qinghuan also returned to the room. Ye Qinghuan also struggled for three days after Yu Zhi disappeared and didn't have a good rest at all. Now his heart was relieved, and his fatigue also made him sleepy.
Yu Zhi accepted this feeling and remembered it in his heart. Just as he was about to go to sleep, there was another knock on the door.
"Master Xiao Yu." It was Qiu An's voice.
Yu Zhi responded. As soon as Qiu An entered the room, he knelt down towards Yu Zhi. Although Yu Zhi tried to stop him, he couldn't resist the old man with gray temples. Qiu An was kneeling right in front of the door. It was snowing heavily outside the house, and snowflakes were sweeping towards the old man.
Squeak!
Yu Zhi closed the door to make the room warmer.
boom!
Yu Zhi walked up to Qiu An and knelt down, looking at Qiu An. It was a bit funny that the two of them were kneeling to each other, but Yu Zhi didn't mind at all.
"Master Xiao Yu!" Qiu An shouted. He felt guilty. After all, he was the one who took Yu Zhi to Prince Zhao's Mansion. During the three days when Yu Zhi disappeared, he followed Qiu Ruoruo around and asked his friends to help search for him in Kyoto. Unfortunately, Yu Zhi is not in Kyoto.
"Grandpa An, if you don't get up and talk, it will hurt even if I'm kneeling." Yu Zhi said first. He had never doubted Qiu An. Since it was an unintentional mistake, there was no need to kneel down and apologize.
Qiu An then stood up, and the two sat down against the table. Qiu An was about to say something but didn't know where to start. Finally, it was Yu Zhi who spoke first: "Grandpa An, I have suffered a lot in the past few days. Of course, this is not Grandpa An's fault. If Grandpa An feels uneasy, why don't you find the mastermind behind it for me."
Yu Zhi just wanted to find an excuse to get rid of Qiu An. He never knew how to comfort people, so giving the elderly a goal was a good solution.
However, why is it so easy to find someone who can use some tricks in Prince Zhao's palace? The fact that Qiu Ruoruo got nothing in three days explained everything.
"Master Xiao Yu, do you really want to find the mastermind behind this?"
Yu Zhi suddenly noticed a glint of light shining in the old man's dark eyes. It was obvious that this old man should know something. Yu Zhi choked up, and the sudden silence seemed to warn Yu Zhi not to pursue him any further.
Just as Yu Zhi was about to speak, Qiu An took the lead and said, "Young Master Yu, there are some truths that the Qiu family cannot afford."
Qiu An was talking about the Qiu family, not Yu Zhi. Yu Zhi knew how powerful the Qiu family was. Qiu Jinfeng, Qiu Yu and his son were the pillars of the Chu court, and students from Qiu Jinfeng's sect were also spread throughout the official circles of Da Chu.
If there really is something the Qiu family can't afford...
Yu Zhi thought about it for a while, looked around and saw no one around, then quietly approached Qiu An, lowered his voice and said, "Is it because your Majesty wants to plot against me?"
As soon as Yu Zhi's voice came out, Qiu An's ears froze, and she quickly covered Yu Zhi's mouth, thinking in her heart: "What an unbridled young man."
"Master Yu, don't talk nonsense. How could His Majesty want to plot against you? His Majesty has never known you. Even if he did, why would you, a young boy, bother His Majesty?" Qiu An said hurriedly. It is a serious crime to speak ill of the emperor no matter where he is.
Yu Zhi thought the same thing, "Then who is Grandpa An talking about? Who can make the Qiu family doomed?"
Qiu An remained silent, but he found some clues but did not dare to dig deeper.
After a moment of silence, Yu Zhi said as if giving up: "I think Grandpa An has his own considerations. Grandpa An also knows better than me what is more important. But I have come back safely, and Grandpa An doesn't have to blame himself. Let him go after the matter is over."
Qiu An nodded, not daring to look at Yu Zhi, so he could only look at the trees in the courtyard that were affected by the wind and snow. Yu Zhi is the victim, and he can only swallow his anger after being wronged. This is not what a proud young man can endure.
Qiu An also came from a young age, and he knew this was something difficult to bear.
Qiu An resigned, and the moment he closed the door, he heard Yu Zhi's voice again.
"Grandpa An, what should I do if someone plots against me like this next time?"
Qiu An put his hands on the door and paused for a long time, then said: "Young Master Xiao Yu, it is best not to stay in Kyoto. Master Li will definitely be able to protect you at Wenwen Academy."
...
After Qiu An left, Yu Zhi lay on the bed unable to fall asleep. In this snowy weather, the sky is dim and it is best to sleep peacefully in bed. But at the Qiu family in Kyoto, Yu Zhi could no longer sleep.
Qiu An's last words revealed a lot of information and made him guess a lot. Just like a pebble thrown into a calm lake caused many ripples, Yu Zhi's thoughts also drifted away with these ripples.
Yu Zhi got up, sat at his desk, studied ink and picked up a pen. In Wenwen Academy, he seldom wrote because of laziness and because of Li Qingru's constant pressure, but he had to pick up the pen today.
The Master Li that Qiu An mentioned was naturally referring to Li Qingru, that talented woman from Da Chu. Twenty years ago, he was one of the national scholars appointed by the Emperor of Chu. Yu Zhi believed what Qiu An said. His aunt had raised him to this day and would never allow him to be in danger.
Yu Zhi quickly finished writing and put the paper into an envelope. It was definitely not possible to send letters by flying pigeons on this day, so he had to send someone to send the letter to Taoist Academy.
boom!
Just as Yu Zhi sent someone to deliver the letter, he heard his door being kicked open, followed by the wind and snow, and a figure also came in brazenly.
Yu Zhi knew without guessing that Qiu Ruoruo was the only one in the Qiu Mansion who would walk directly into Yu Zhi's room like this.
"I'm so angry." This was Qiu Ruoruo's first sentence, and it was also Qiu Ruoruo's second, third, fourth, fifth... words.
Yu Zhi closed the door again, preventing those Feng Xue from entering the house. He felt that it was a very bad habit to enter a house without closing the door.
"Brother Xiaoyu, Prairie Wolf Ting is so shameless. I didn't expect him to be even more scoundrel than a street gangster." Qiu Ruoruo said angrily.
Yu Zhi's face was full of doubts. He heard Qiu Ruoruo start venting as soon as he entered the room, without explaining what happened.
"Wait a minute, tell me what happened. Did the person at the door take a fancy to you and want to take you back to the grassland?" Yu Zhi asked.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhi just said it casually, but Qiu Ruoruo nodded, just as Yu Zhi had guessed.
"That guy also said that he wanted to ask His Majesty for a marriage. I don't want to go to the grassland with that guy." Qiu Ruoruo took Yu Zhi's arm and said pitifully.
"The toad wants to eat swan meat. He really thinks he is a green onion. He wants to marry us Qiuqiu, so give him face. Don't worry, your grandpa will definitely not agree." Yu Zhi said, "I saw that he is not a good person. , I’ve been stuck at the door for so long, it turns out I’ve fallen in love with you.”
Qiu Ruoruo was undoubtedly a model of being knowledgeable and reasonable to the outside world, but in front of Yu Zhi, she was always the little girl next door. Any grievances she had were directed at Yu Zhi. "Brother Xiaoyu, that person is so irritating. He actually said he would come again tomorrow."
Yu Zhi whispered a few times in Qiu Ruoruo's ear, and Qiu Ruoruo suddenly cleared away the gloom.
"Tell Qing Huan about this and let him prepare." Yu Zhi instructed. He gave Qiu Ruoruo a good idea. Faced with these unavoidable things, Yu Zhi felt it was better to take the initiative. Qiu Ruoruo let him do it, and of course Ye Qinghuan.
Yu Zhi did not tell Qiu Ruoruo what Qiu An said, so as not to worry Qiu Ruoruo. What Qiu An knows, Qiu Jinfeng will also know. Since the Qiu family does not want to be involved, Qiu Ruoruo should not know.
Regarding the disappearance, Yu Zhi prevaricated a few words, and even blamed Qiu Ruoruo for not finding the real murderer and seeking justice for him. Only Yu Zhi, who was so shameless, could do this anti-customer operation.
As for what happened within three days, Yu Zhi did not hide it. He also thought about asking Qiu Ruoruo to help investigate the young lady who had a nice voice but stayed behind closed doors.
