In the private room of Qingyun Building. King Jingbei and Magistrate Lin were already drowsy. Suddenly I heard a noise coming from downstairs, and I suddenly woke up. Magistrate Lin first went out to inspect with the guard commander standing beside the prince. Seeing that Su Qiqi, the Xiao brothers and others were back, they immediately became energetic and hurried back to the private room to report to King Jingbei.
King Jingbei immediately sat up and looked out the door with bright eyes, waiting for the arrival of Su Qiqi and the Xiao brothers.
"Your Majesty, thanks to the help of Miss Nangong and others, we have brought Capt. Tan and his accomplices..." Xiao Jie and Xiao Kai stepped forward, bowed, and reported the situation loudly.
King Jingbei calmly listened to the report of the Xiao brothers, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The prisoners have been placed, don't make any more mistakes..."
The Xiao brothers nodded and were about to leave when they were suddenly stopped by King Jingbei again. King Jingbei asked in a deep voice, "Has the treasure been recovered?"
The Xiao brothers were stunned for a moment and responded in succession: "Bring... back, with Miss Nangong..." After saying that, the two of them turned to Su Qiqi, expecting her response.
Su Qiqi smiled slightly, took out the yellow silk cloth embroidered with flying dragons and strange runes from her waist, and handed it to Xiao Jie who was closer to her. Xiao Jie carefully took the silk cloth and held it in his hands. To King Jingbei.
King Jingbei opened the yellow silk cloth and examined it carefully. Standing behind him, Magistrate Lin also squinted his eyes and took a sneak peek, his face relaxed a little.
After King Jingbei confirmed that the yellow silk cloth was indeed the stolen fire dragon flag, he breathed a sigh of relief, put it into the gold-painted box on the desk, and then asked the guard commander standing by to put it away.
The guard commander agreed, picked up the box, put it into his sleeve, and then left in advance.
King Jingbei pondered for a while and said to Su Qiqi and others: "I am deeply grateful for your help... This is a five hundred tael of silver note, which should be regarded as my thank you gift..." After that, he started from He took out a banknote from his waist and placed it on the table.
Su Qiqi's eyes lit up and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he stretched out his right hand and was about to pick up the banknote. Suddenly King Jingbei stretched out his hand to hold the banknote and lowered his voice and said: "I still want to return the favor." I have one thing to ask the girl for help..."
"Ah?" Su Qiqi was stunned for a moment, staring at King Jingbei in confusion, waiting for him to continue.
"Tomorrow, I will ask Xiao Kai to send you a message..." King Jingbei hesitated and whispered.
"Can't you tell me now?" Su Qiqi asked curiously.
"This matter is rather complicated. When I think about it, I will ask Xiao Kai to send you a message..." King Jingbei said with his forehead raised, a complicated expression on his face.
"Okay. By the way, you won't forget the bet you promised, right?" Su Qiqi suddenly remembered the previous bet and said with a serious face.
After hearing her words, King Jingbei showed a slightly embarrassed expression, but he quickly suppressed the helplessness in his eyes, apologized to Yan Ruoyu generously, and took out three hundred taels of silver notes to compensate for Yan Ruoyu's losses.
Seeing his sincere attitude, Yan Ruoyu's resentment disappeared instantly. She smiled and declined the prince's banknote, and happily returned to Weiyuan Escort Bureau with Su Qiqi and others.
As soon as Su Qiqi and others returned to the escort office, Nangong Ke, Nangong Qin and his wife, and Qin Hannian and his wife were already waiting in the main hall, asking the servants to prepare food and wine to welcome everyone. Ning'er heard that a fairy-like and charming sister had arrived, and she also pestered Zheng Miao to take him to the front hall to see her.
After drinking and eating, Mrs. Nangong was busy arranging a room for Yan Ruoyu. Yan Ruoyu quietly approached Su Qiqi and said, "Can your mother arrange a room closer to you?"
Su Qiqi nodded knowingly and said with a smile: "No problem, I'm living in a suite now, it's quite large. How about I tell my mother and let the maids add an extra bed, and you can just move in with me. live……"
Yan Ruoyu nodded happily: "Okay, okay. Tell your mother..."
Su Qiqi hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words to Mrs. Nangong. Mrs. Nangong was a little surprised and said, "Is it too crowded for the four of you to live together? We still have several vacant rooms here..."
Su Qiqi smiled broadly and said: "It's okay, I'll just ask the maids to add an extra bed in my room..."
Mrs. Nangong smiled lovingly and said, "You children..." After that, she asked the maid to prepare the bed and quilts.
Qin Chuan had a drink with Nangong Ke, Nangong Yu, and Nangong Yue, then walked over with Ning'er and said to Su Qiqi: "Let Ning'er live with me in the future, so that it will be more convenient for you..."
Su Qiqi smiled and expressed her gratitude for Qin Chuan's thoughtfulness. Then she lowered her head and asked Ning'er, "Ning'er, are you willing to move to brother Qin Chuan's place?"
Ning'er blinked her little eyes and looked at Su Qiqi, then at Qin Chuan, and said with a smile: "Okay! I can just let my cousin teach me how to practice swordsmanship..."
Su Qiqi touched Ning'er's head lovingly, handed him a bunch of coins, and asked him to buy some snacks or toys another day. Ning'er happily put away the coins and put them in her pocket, then took Qin Chuan to play in the front yard.
When Su Qiqi saw that her father, grandma, Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, and Granny Cui were still chatting about home affairs, she called Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu to go back to the backyard to rest.
The three of them returned to the room shared by Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao, which had been rearranged. The outer room was arranged as a study, and a pavilion was set up in the inner room, with a lavender gauze curtain hung up. A carved screen is used as a partition next to the bed to maintain the privacy of the space. Outside the screen, there is a simple and elegant piano table and a fir guqin. Diagonally across from the piano table was a simple mahogany noodle cabinet, which contained some unpopular weapons and hidden weapons collected by Su Qiqi.
With an excited look on her face, Zheng Miao led Yan Ruoyu around the inside and outside, and then she sat down at the piano table still unsatisfied and said with a smile: "We three sisters are finally together... the days to come will be more interesting. Already..."
Yan Ruoyu also sat down and said excitedly: "It would be even better if we drink some wine and eat some delicious barbecue..."
"That's right, that's right, you have to have delicious food to live up to the beauty of this beautiful time..." Zheng Miao also happily agreed.
Su Qiqi smiled and said angrily: "You two foodies! Let Bi'er bring some meat and dry firewood later. Let's go to the back garden to find an open space for barbecue..." After saying that, she called Bi'er and asked her to Go to the kitchen and get some meat and firewood.
After Bi'er left, the three sisters changed into neat cross-collar pipa-sleeved blouses and horse-faced skirts, and then went to the back garden to barbecue secretly.
The three of them had just set up the fire, skewered the fresh meat slices and steaks with sharpened branches and roasted them on the fire for a while, when they heard a childish cry from behind: "Wow! It smells so good!"
Su Qiqi looked back and saw that it was Qin Chuan and Ning'er who had followed the fragrance. I was about to invite them to sit down and taste it together.
Ning'er had already run over by herself, staring at the steaming barbecue on the shelf without blinking an eye, and said angrily: "Sisters are good or bad, but they don't ask us to eat barbecue..."
"That's right! It's too much... Why don't you hurry up and give us Ning'er some barbecue... Oh, by the way, everyone who sees it has a share..." Qin Chuan agreed with a smirk on his face.
Su Qiqi smiled and rolled her eyes at him, and she and Zheng Miao handed the grilled meat skewers to the two childish ghosts, one big and one small. Yan Ruoyu snickered from the side and said, "Finally someone can cure you two... Hahaha!"
Her laughter stopped abruptly before she could fully release it. It turned out that Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao took advantage of her not paying attention, divided up the meat skewers she had grilled, and hid to the side to eat.
"Give me back my meat... leave some for me..." Yan Ruoyu muttered, running towards Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao, and finally took back a half-eaten mutton skewer, and swallowed it angrily, mouth Li muttered: "You little boy, you are so brave that you dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth..."
Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao deliberately looked arrogant and said with a smile: "We are not afraid of you, a tigress..." After that, the three of them laughed and laughed. Even Qin Chuan and Ning'er were infected by their emotions and smiled happily.
