Liu Mingzhi looked at the two guards in their early twenties in front of him angrily, raised his hand and gave each of them a blow.
"Two melon boys, they take the time to read some books when they are not on duty. Even though they are illiterate, they seem quite proud of themselves."
"Stand guard well!"
"As you command!"
Not bothering to argue with the two guards, Young Master Liu took the reins of his horse and hurried towards the city gate to pursue him.
The two guards were left rubbing their foreheads in grievance, looking at each other at a loss.
What's wrong with being illiterate? There are one hundred thousand soldiers in Yingzhou, 90% of whom are illiterate. I didn't see Shangguan say anything. Why are you being punished today even though you are so good?
"Brother Niu? What does the prince mean by melon seeds?"
"Maybe they are praising us for being smart. How else can we learn to read? How can a fool have the ability to learn to read and write?"
"Brother Niu is still smart. He immediately understood the meaning of the prince's words. He is such a good melon boy."
"Hmm...Actually, my ancestors also had talented scholars, but later the family fell into decline."
"awesome."
"so so!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the people coming and going on the street in astonishment: "Where are the people? Why did they disappear in the blink of an eye? Did they go to the alley?"
He wanted to order the guards in the city to search for the girl, but when he recalled the girl's appearance, Liu Mingzhi immediately gave up the idea.
It's better to go back and let the spies from the Suzaku Division investigate secretly.
This matter should not be publicized.
With his mind made up, Young Master Liu led the horse and hurried towards the palace, looking left and right along the way, hoping to find the figure of the stunning girl among the crowd.
It's a pity that Liu Mingzhi didn't see that slightly familiar figure again until he arrived in front of the mansion.
"Master, you are back!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Liu Song looked at Young Master Liu tangledly: "Master, it's not what's wrong with me, but what's wrong with you. Why do you feel like you've lost your soul? Are you okay?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head silently and handed the horse rein to Liu Song: "I'm fine. Just take the horse to the stable. I want to go back to the inner courtyard."
"Yes, I would like to send you to the young master."
"Okay, got it."
Liu Song stared blankly at Young Master Liu's absent-minded back, clasped his forehead and muttered.
After Master Liu's back disappeared, he led his horse towards the side courtyard.
"My servant pays homage to the prince."
The maids who were going in and out of the inner courtyard hurriedly came forward to greet Young Master Liu when they saw him returning home. However, they only saw that the prince was absent-minded. He was mumbling something and walking forward. He was not at all as happy as before and used a slightly naughty expression. Words reply to myself and others.
A group of maids looked at the back of their prince in confusion, shook their heads and went about their business in muttering.
"Husband, you are back. My sisters have been waiting for you for a long time."
Qi Yun, the three princesses and the other girls were sitting in the pavilion, admiring the scenery, and discussing their son's expedition with the army.
Most of the conversation was about her husband returning home quietly, and they were all speculating about what happened to him.
How come everything turned out like this?
However, when they returned to the city, they found that their husband had already disappeared, so they had no choice but to return home first.
I thought that my husband had come back, but after asking the maids in the house, no one saw his return.
So we could only sit in the pavilion and chat.
While talking, Young Master Liu appeared absent-mindedly.
The girls stood up to say hello. They thought their husband would stop, but they stared blankly at Young Master Liu muttering as he passed by his sisters and walked forward silently.
"Husband!"
"Husband!"
"Husband!"
"Huh? Who called me?"
Young Master Liu raised his head and looked around, and then saw Qi Yun and the girls standing in the pavilion, staring at him in confusion.
"Why are you here? When did you come?"
The girls looked at their husband's dazed look. Their hearts ached and they hurriedly rushed towards Young Master Liu to greet him.
"Husband? Are you okay?"
"That's right, husband, why don't you speak in a clear tone? You're caught in the cold."
Young Master Liu looked at the jade hands of the women on his forehead and took them down.
"It's okay for you, husband. It smells good after you eat it and makes you strong. Why are you so nagging?"
"I am...I am..."
The girls looked at Young Master Liu with trembling lips, not knowing how to reply.
Are we talking too much? Who is so fussy about this?
"Husband? Are you really okay? What time is this?"
Young Master Liu's eyes twitched as he looked at the two slender jade fingers Qi Ya stretched out in front of his eyes.
"Three? Are you satisfied? Let's talk about your affairs. My husband has gone to the study.
By the way, Sister Ya, go and see a doctor if you have nothing to do. They all say that one pregnancy is stupid for three years, and it is indeed not unfounded.
gone! "
Qi Ya looked stupidly at the two fingers she stretched out and waved to the sisters beside her.
"Is this three?"
"Of course it's two. My husband is stunned, you can still be stunned."
"My husband is right? It's time to find a doctor to take a look. It's just for him to take a look."
"Going out for a trip? How come you can't tell the difference between two and three when it comes to turning around in circles? Is it because you were hit by the child?"
"Are you looking for a doctor?"
"Find one!"
Naturally, Young Master Liu didn't know what the ladies said after he left, so he stopped in the corner outside the study and made a few gestures.
Cup of tea? The graceful and enchanting figure of Suzaku fell in front of Liu Mingzhi.
"Suzaku meets the young master."
"No gift!"
"Has the information about the Turks and the Jin Kingdom been sorted out in recent days?"
Suzaku nodded slightly and took out a stack of rice paper from his sleeves and handed it to Young Master Liu.
"In compliance with the wishes of the young master, a message will be sent here every three days. Please go back and read it."
"Well, it was done well."
Suzaku's stern look became coquettish, and her jade finger tapped on her cheek.
"Since you have done well, shouldn't the young master give you a reward?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head helplessly and pecked Suzaku's cherry lips.
"I'll give you a double reward, please be satisfied."
Zhuque Danfeng stared at Young Master Liu with watery eyes, and licked her flaming red lips a few times with her pink lilac tongue.
"Satisfied, quite satisfied. If there is nothing else to do, Que'er will go back and continue to sort out the information from various departments."
"etc."
"What's wrong, Master?"
Liu Mingzhi looked around, leaned into Suzaku's round and round ear and whispered instructions.
"Mobilize a small number of people from the Zhuque Department and the Xuanwu Department to secretly investigate a woman with a Shu accent and a bamboo hat on her head in the city. She is about 28 years old. She is wearing a Shu brocade Yunxiu smoke skirt, a brocade Xiu Luo shirt on her upper body, and her feet are covered with cloud patterns. Embroidered shoes.”
"Yes, I understand. Is there any characteristic about this woman's appearance?"
"She is beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament. She is one of the rare beauties in the world. She should be easy to recognize. There are only a handful of such beautiful girls in the city. Once we find her, we will immediately monitor her closely.
Try to find out the baggage behind her, check her credentials, and find out the woman's birthplace and name. "
Suzaku's stern expression became more and more resentful as Young Master Liu spoke. When Young Master Liu finished speaking, Suzaku stepped forward and stared at Young Master Liu resentfully with his beautiful eyes.
"You're not going to take a concubine again, are you?
I have no problem with taking a concubine, but it's my turn. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Suzaku angrily, raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This woman's identity is related to a very important matter. I just want you to investigate it carefully.
Remember, don’t alert the enemy! "
"real?"
"Why did I lie to you! Go quickly!"
Suzaku stared at Liu Mingzhi's serious expression and nodded respectfully.
"Yes, my subordinates are resigning!"
Suzaku disappeared in an instant. Liu Mingzhi walked towards the study while recalling the girl's appearance, with a frightened look in his eyes again.
There is no similarity between them, they are almost carved from the same mold.
But he saw with his own eyes that her vitality had disappeared. If it was really her, how could she be alive and how could she appear here?
Resurrection from the dead? It’s too unacceptable!
But isn’t it me too...
What is going on?
