Qi Shang would not come to the house without anything to do. He made this trip specially for two things.
"Diqiu has a special geographical location with many hills, so there are many gangsters hiding there. The most popular among them is the Dilong Gang." Qi Shang put one hand on the table and used the other hand to hold the handle of the knife. , with a solemn expression, "The prince invited himself to Diqiu to clear out the banditry. Over the past few months, he defeated these copycat gangs to pieces, and finally returned the people of Diqiu to a pure land."
Originally, the local government could not deal with it, and despite the rampant banditry, the main factor was military strength. Once the real seal was presented, these rabble-rousers were vulnerable.
"Seven, seven, eight, eight?" Yunqi put the tip of his tongue against the left corner of his mouth and said softly, "That means there are still remnants of evil left."
Nangong Zhi thought for a moment, "Could it be the Dilong Gang you mentioned earlier?"
Qi Shang nodded: "There are more than two hundred people in the Dilong Gang, and the bandit leader is very cunning. It only takes two months in other places, but for the Dilong Gang alone, the prince led his troops to a stalemate for more than a month."
Yun Qi asked: "You didn't come here to brag about the crown prince's achievements, right?"
Feng Qing interrupted: "Anyway, the prince is indeed better than the pretentious Zi Sanghao."
"Master Feng, please be careful what you say." Qi Shang said sternly: "The bandit leader of the Dilong Gang is named Qiu Ba, nicknamed Red Beard. On the day of the accident at Longling Dojo, he escaped the prince's roundup because of a surprise attack by a herd of beasts."
Nangong Zhi understood after just a quick turn, "Could he be related to the attack on the dojo that day?"
"There is such a guess, so the prince summoned me yesterday and said that he would dispatch 500 people from the army to increase the scope of the pursuit." Qi Shang sat upright, frowning and said: "What's more, Red Beard is a ruthless person. If we let him escape, If they make a comeback in the future, they will definitely make trouble again, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with."
The three thousand soldiers who followed were originally intended to protect the inside and outside of Longling Dojo. Even if they were as noble as the prince, they could dispatch their troops at will without instructions, so they had to discuss with Qi Shang.
However, although Qi Shang was in charge of three thousand people, before he came, the emperor told Nangong Zhi that all matters in Diqiu would be decided by Nangong Zhi, so he came to discuss with Nangong Zhi.
Yun Qi raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Nangong Zhi and Qi Shang without leaving a trace. He raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, which fell into Lu Anran's eyes, with a clear taste of ridicule.
However, Lu Anran seemed to have completely understood Yun Qi's meaning - the prince could not be trusted by the emperor, but had to ask foreign ministers for instructions. For the prince to do this, he was worse than a minister.
Even though he had great power in his hands, Nangong Zhi still did not lose his duty and said, "I have to get the Holy Spirit's permission."
"Nangong Shaofu..." Yun Qi held his chin and chuckled: "It takes a few days for a letter to come back and forth, will Wang Ba still be waiting for you where you are?"
Qi Shang: "Qiu Ba."
Feng Qing pouted: "The tortoise is dried in the sun, and the day lily is cold."
"Because we can't afford to delay, this decision must be made as soon as possible." After Qi Shang finished speaking, he repeated again seriously: "He is not a king or a bastard, his name is Qiu Ba."
"Oh, the bastard of autumn."
Qi Shang: "..." Okay, this is not the point.
Leaving aside the decision, Qi Shang turned to the second matter——
"The herd of beasts trampled the altar and caused public outrage. The students gathered together and planned to hunt." Qi Shang's expression was not obvious, but his thick eyebrows were furrowed, clearly disapproving, "Wu Zong is the leader, and those with hunting experience will follow the call, and the total Forty or fifty people.”
The Daning Dynasty was initially established. Not only was the bloody storm of more than ten years ago not over, but recently the previous dynasty was ready to stir up evil, and it was very concerned about training military generals. Therefore, the emperor personally presided over several hunts every year.
There is no distinction between men and women in hunting, only those who can do it.
For example, Princess Ding'an's equestrian skills are due to her experience in hunting since childhood.
At this moment, the men and women gathered together and heard that they were going to hunt the beasts that destroyed the dojo. Their emotions were all aroused and they became excited. This was the time when the blood was boiling the most.
However, it is a bit of a headache for Qi Shang and others. These children of noble families are not familiar with the world and are wildly fanciful. They really think that ferocious beasts are like hares, squatting there waiting for you to shoot arrows and catch them. If they do not do well, they will become the prey of the beast.
If something goes wrong again, Qi Shang and Nangong Zhi will not be able to go back and explain.
Nangong Zhi pinched his forehead with two fingers and sighed: "The beast is ferocious and cannot be easily subdued by ordinary people. This is complete nonsense."
Yun Qi didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, "Let's go, maybe it will make a big fuss and blow up the Yaksha, which will save us a lot of trouble."
Lu Taotao was not interested in the tough bandits in front of him. He blinked when he heard this: "I'm going hunting. I want to grab a cerebellar ax to play with."
"What's the matter with the cerebellum? I'm still a big boy." Feng Qing rolled her eyes, "Are you not weaned?"
Lu Taotao picked up a plate of fish balls and smacked them all towards Feng Qing. Because he moved so quickly, the soup hadn't even finished spilling in the air. The remaining twenty or thirty balls were all hit on Feng Qing's face, and a small part was driven into his mouth. middle.
Feng Qing didn't react in time, and was just about to yell, when the ball was forced in, and she was stuck halfway.
"Hmph, let's see if you still dare to choke me." Lu Taotao stuck out his tongue, poked a chili pepper with his chopstick and shook his head.
Feng Qing opened her mouth wide and squeaked, unable to make a sound. She grabbed her hand forward and threw herself on the table. Her eyes were wide open, her face looked a little ferocious, and her face was reddening like snow.
Lu Taotao tilted his head: "Don't be so angry, I'll treat you to meatballs."
Lu Anran sat opposite, stood up immediately, frowned and said, "Something is wrong."
The others were farther away, and Qi Shang was nearby. When he turned around, he saw Feng Qing holding her throat with one hand, and her face had turned purple. Something was definitely wrong.
"He seems to be choking in his throat!" Nangong Zhi was careful and shouted as he ran over.
Qi Shang grabbed Feng Qing's arm with his backhand, and put his other hand across his back to help him up. After all, he could hold his breath and quickly turned him over. He pinched his index finger with his thumb and moved it above his navel. For a moment, he suddenly Press hard on the ground.
Feng Qing's whole body rose up, something flew out of her mouth, and she coughed continuously. When everyone thought that everything was fine, she tilted and fell on Qi Shang.
Lu Anran pinched Feng Qing's wrist for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Just now, a foreign object stuck in the throat and almost suffocated. Now the old disease has returned."
Before the discussion over the meal was over, a commotion broke out, and Lu Taotao became the culprit.
The doctors outside probably didn't understand Feng Qing's condition, so they had to ask Guan Yue to go to Feng Mansion and invite the doctors there who specialized in treating Feng Qing.
Nangong Zhi and Qi Shang couldn't wait any longer, so they split up to handle matters involving the prince and the county office, and agreed to exchange news with each other later.
After the silence, Lu Taotao noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, and jumped up and said: "How do I know that he is so careless? It's just a plate of meatballs. What are you doing? I didn't mean it!"
Lu Anran's dark eyes were slightly cold, "Is it fun?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Taotao folded his arms, his baby-fat face covered with a hint of indifference, "You officials are only allowed to set fires yourself, and no one else is allowed to light lamps."
Lu Anran wanted to say something, but she also felt that some people were born with different perceptions than others. More importantly, she, who was commented as not having any compassion for others, did not seem to have any preaching stance.
Lu Taotao raised her chin, stepped on the stool with her feet in sheepskin boots, and showed a bit of contempt in her eyes, "Yes, your lives are precious. The prince, the rich lady, of course can't die, and it's not Nangong. Stop talking about killing the untouchables and just die. Whoever the young marquis wants to die will not be allowed to die."
"Who are you complaining about?" Lu Anran's voice was calm, as if he really had this confusion.
Lu Taotao suddenly snorted coldly: "In this world, regardless of men or women, there is no lack of hypocrisy among ordinary people who look like dogs." He was deeply disgusted, and it was not as if he was slandering someone wantonly, but as if he was thinking of someone.
Just as Lu Anran frowned, Yun Qi said lightly behind her: "I see that you like eating meatballs, so eat more meatballs and talk less."
Before Lu Anran understood what this meant, he heard Yun Qi tell Qiu Chan: "Cook a pot of meatballs for her to eat. Don't miss any of them."
Qiu Chan hesitated and said: "But there are two or three hundred in one pot."
Yun Qi smiled softly, like spring flowers, "Are they many?"
Qiu Chan: "...Yes."
"Oh, Mo Yan is going to supervise it." Yun Qi waved two fingers forward. Although he was smiling, he was so majestic that no one dared to disobey him.
Xunqing and Master Ma, who couldn't say a word from beginning to end, looked at each other and said in unison, "Buddha Amitayus."
The people at the foot of the mountain are really scary. I want to return to the Taoist Conception Sutra.
Afterwards, Lu Taotao had her acupoints tapped and was forced to eat meatballs (for torture). Yun Qi and Lu Anran said on the way back to their room: "She has no sense of right and wrong. It's not that she is unsophisticated but disdainful. It's not necessarily true that you say she is a bad person, but she often If you do something wrong, I won't care about you at other times. In my house, you have to abide by my rules."
Normally, Lu Anran would deliberately make a few teasing remarks, but now he nodded and said, "The situation was critical just now. If Qi Shen didn't take action in time, something might have happened."
Yun raised his thumb and clasped it, and the jade bone fan unfolded smoothly. The splendid and prosperous surface of the fan was still the same, and the rich ink and color made his eyes look picturesque. "To put it simply, it needs a lesson."
After the two discussed this topic, Lu Anran asked curiously: "The students are very excited. Can Prince Nangong and Leader Qi Shen stop them."
"Others may be able to do it, but don't forget that there is Princess Ding'an." Yun Qi curled his lips, "I heard that she was the one who took the lead in this matter. How do you think Nangong Zhi and Qi Shang are doing it?" Are you sure you can convince her?"
Lu Anran's focus was not on this, but on: "The prince knew about this earlier?" Why did Qi Shang seem completely unclear about the situation when he said it just now?
Yun Qi chuckled and patted her forehead with a folding fan, "Instead of thinking about this, it is better to consider why Princess Ding'an is suddenly enthusiastic about this."
How could Lu Anran guess what Princess Ding'an was thinking, "Is Zuo related to Prince Nangong?"
In comparison, they were somewhat confident about the prince rounding up Qiu Ba. "Since he is related to the destruction of Longling Dojo, Nangong Zhi will eventually relent."
Lu Anran glanced at Yun Qi one more time, causing him to raise his eyebrows sideways, "It's easy for me to misunderstand you."
"I was just thinking..."
"Um?"
"The Crown Prince knows Crown Prince Nangong so well, it can be said that we feel sympathy for each other."
