mountains and seas

Xiaoya nodded vigorously.

"Is this jade pendant given to you by a big brother wearing a mask?"

Xiaoya nodded.

"You know where he is right?"

Xiaoya nodded.

"Then can you take us to him now?"

Thinking of those vicious people, Xiaoya was a little frightened and kept shaking her head.

"Can't you take us to him?"

Xiaoya nodded and shook her head, Shang Qi and Shang Lan were dumbfounded, what does this mean.

Xiaoya pointed to the sky outside, shook her head, then found a torch and lit a candle, pointed at the candle and nodded.

Shang Lan had an epiphany: "Oh~ I see, you mean you can't wait until night now, right?"

Xiaoya nodded again, and pointed at the two of them and at herself, expressing that they would go together.

At night, Shang Qi and Shang Lan took two subordinates and followed Xiaoya.

Seeing Xiaoya groping all the way towards Ying Xufei's private house, Shang Lan said angrily, "Wow! Sure enough, he's here!"

But not long after, Shang Lan felt his face flushed, because Xiaoya led them around the house and went up the mountain behind.

Behind this mountain there is a group of bandits who occupy the mountain as their king, and they live by robbing people passing by at the foot of the mountain on weekdays. Perhaps they know who the owner of the mansion behind them is, and they never came to harass them.

It is said that this is a cottage, but the house is still very delicately repaired. Going around to the place behind the house where the torches cannot reach, Xiaoya removes the straw, and there is actually a dog hole here.

Looking at the dog hole, Shang Lan couldn't let go of her airs, and said in a low voice, "Here, do you want to get in from here?"

Xiaoya looked at him with very sure eyes, then nodded.

"Okay, it's important to save people, you two stay here, Shang Lan, you and I will follow this girl in." Shang Qi didn't wait for Shang Lan to refuse, he went in through the dog hole.

Xiaoya went in with Shang Qi, leaving Shang Lan looking at the sky and sighing: "Don't tell this matter!"

The two subordinates held back their smiles: "Yes."

After Shang Lan entered, the three of them walked against the wall, turned two corners and arrived at the place where Qi Ling was detained. They could still hear the conversation of the two guards and bandits passing by just now:

"Why didn't that little mute see this afternoon?"

"Whoever has time to care about her, as long as that person in the room is here."

"That's right, let's go, it's really cold today, go drink some soju."

After the two walked away, Xiaoya opened the door with a stolen key, and the three of them entered the room quietly.

Qi Ling was very vigilant: "Who!"

"Qi Ling, it's me, Shang Qi." A familiar voice sounded.

The moment he saw Shang Qi, Qi Ling understood that this man was really a good man, who was kind and gentle to everyone, including himself, a "captive" of the defeated country who was not even a proton.

Shang Lan added a sentence as if asking for credit: "There is also me, me, me, me."

After the three of them appeared in front of Qi Ling, he couldn't tell whether he was moved or excited, but he just felt warm in his heart, that someone would take risks like this for him in a foreign country.

Shang Qi asked: "I have seen your skills, how can you be caught so easily?"

Qi Ling smiled bitterly: "I don't know what kind of medicine they gave me. I can't do anything except a little exercise."

Xiaoya interrupted them, signaling to leave quickly, there was no one outside.

Qi Ling knelt down and looked at Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, thank you."

The four of them were all safe when they reached the dog hole. Unexpectedly, the village owner suddenly brought a group of people to Guan Qiling's house, and found that no one was there.

Just when Xiaoya got through the dog hole and blocked it with straw, she was discovered by the people inside.

"Village Master! Found it! Here it is!"

A group of bandits came out of the dog hole and chased them.

There were six people in the group, Xiaoya was a weak girl, Qi Ling didn't use much strength, and was about to be overtaken, Shang Qi said: "Both of you carry Miss Xiaoya and follow His Highness the Eleventh."

After speaking, he turned over and pulled Qi Ling and rolled into the grass.

At this time, Shang Lan was still very reliable. He led his subordinates to lead the bandits in another direction.

In the grass, Shang Qi lay on top of Qi Ling, not daring to take a breath, and focused all his attention on the bandits who ran past them quickly.

As for Qi Ling, he felt uncomfortable, and it was the first time he was so close to someone. Through the moonlight, he could clearly see Shang Qi's well-defined eyelashes.

The bandits chased him away, and Shang Qi finally relaxed. He turned his head to tell Qi Ling that he was safe, and when he turned around sharply, he kissed him within a finger's distance.

The two were stunned, and suddenly Qi Ling turned his head away. Shang Qi got up quickly: "Ahem, it's safe, let's go."

"En." Qi Ling replied somewhat unnaturally, but as a result, he was about to fall down as soon as he got up.

Shang Qi grabbed Qi Ling and let him lean on his body: "Let me help you go."

In the early morning, there were no vendors on the street, only a few waiters were busy opening their shops.

Shang Qi is exhausted all over his body now, but he still insists on it: "Let me tell you, it's the first time I'm so tired when I grow up so big."

In fact, Qi Ling could have left by himself a long time ago, but he just didn't want to: "Really? Then you need to exercise more."

"Isn't Your Highness not strong enough?" Shang Qi retorted: "Who would support a big man for a whole night's journey?"

Qi Ling asked him: "Your Highness, why don't you ask someone to prepare a carriage?"

Shang Qi said confidently: "Who knew you were drugged? I thought you were tied up, and I wanted to take the opportunity to take off your mask."

"Huh?" Qi Ling's tone rose a little dangerously.

"No, no, no, I'm not that kind of person." Shang Qi apologized.

"Drive, drive, woo~" A carriage stopped in front of them, and Xiao Yunzi jumped down from it: "Your Highness Seventh, Young Master Qi, this servant has received you."

Seeing the carriage merchant Qi wanted to cry: "Xiao Yunzi, for the first time, I think you are so cute."

Xiao Yunzi didn't care about the teasing of His Highness the Seventh Prince: "The servant is always very cute, be careful, the servant will support you."

After getting into the carriage, Shang Qi fell asleep, and Qi Ling found a cushion in the carriage for him to use under his head to avoid stiff neck.

When they arrived at the palace, they had already missed the breakfast time. Shang Lan waited with Xiaoya and Zhuang Zifu at the entrance of the palace. Seeing the carriage coming, everyone felt relieved.

Xiao Yunzi opened the curtain: "Your Highness Seventh, Mr. Qi, we are home."

"Huh? Huh. Good." Shang Qi got out of the car in a daze.

But subconsciously, he still turned around and stretched out his hand, still smiling reassuringly: "Come on, I'll help you."

When Qi Ling got out of the car, he saw Zhuang Zifu standing beside Shang Lan with red eyes, at a loss what to do, he wanted to pounce on him, hug him and cry, but he didn't dare to act presumptuously because of the crowd.

Sighing helplessly, Qi Ling stepped forward and hugged Zhuang Zifu: "It's okay, I'm fine."

Finally, Zhuangzi couldn't bear it anymore, and wept loudly, and said to Shang Qi while crying: "Shang Qi, thank you, really, really thank you."

When this matter reached Lord Shang's ears, he sighed again: "Zifu, this child, why does he love to cry so much?"

Eunuch Shu opened the memorial: "I heard that His Highness Zifu and his concubine were not treated by the King of Dongling during their lifetime, so even taking His Highness Zifu suffered a lot when they were young."

"I remember when I sent him here, I said he was the most beloved prince of the monarch." Shang Jun said.

Eunuch Shu smiled: "Your Majesty, do you really believe it?"

"I." Shang Jun paused: "I don't believe it."

"It's also fortunate that you don't care about it, otherwise there will be a lot of suffering for the Dongling Kingdom." Shu Gonggong's words are definitely not for flattery: "However, the servant looks at His Highness Zifu, and is somewhat similar to the princess, isn't it? "

"Yes, I owe her what I owe her, so let's make it up to her child." Shang Jun took a blank piece of paper and wrote a few things: "You go and take these things to Qi Ling, Then pass on my order to ask His Royal Highness to bring the prisoner back and hand it over to me to deal with it myself."

"Yes."

Xiaoya was sent to Concubine Nian's palace, and the imperial doctor came to see her. He said that Xiaoya's speech function had deteriorated due to poor hearing when she was a child. Although she could hear as she grew up, her speech has not improved. He becomes dumb, and if he is well adjusted and guided, he will be fine.

After a short rest, Shang Qi took his men to catch the bandits again. Shang Lan was one step faster than him, and ordered people to surround the cottage before they returned to the palace.

When Shang Qi arrived, except for the village master who escaped, the rest were all captured.

Some people were left to continue the search, and the rest were escorted back to the palace by Shang Qi.

After rigorous interrogation, the painter drew portraits of the cottage masters and pasted them all over the streets and alleys of the capital. These bandits were all beheaded, and none of them survived.

Shang Jun's move made the princes re-examine the status of Zhuang Zifu and Qi Ling. It seems that they are not as unpopular as they thought, and their attitude towards them these days is not so bad.

Shang Qi has been paying attention to Ying Xufei's actions, but he didn't want to, Xiao Yunzi came to report: "Your Highness! General Ying has captured the bandit leader, and the emperor sent a servant to call you over."

Thinking that his father should have asked him to identify him, Shang Qi turned a corner and took Xiaoya with him.

There is no bandit leader in the hall, but his head.

Ying Xufei said: "When my subordinates were chasing him, this person resisted desperately. In desperation, he had no choice but to execute the law on the spot."

As for the court ladies beside him who had been released to Qi Ling, he also dealt with them quietly without anyone noticing. Of course, the eldest prince's help was indispensable among them.

Looking at the bloody head, Xiaoya hid behind Shang Qi in fright, Shang Qi comforted her: "Don't be afraid."

Xiaoya pointed to the human head and nodded.

Shang Qi understood: "Father, Xiaoya said that this man is indeed the leader of the bandits."

Shang Jun was pleased: "Aiqing deserves merit in this matter, and I will allow Aiqing to make a request."

"Any request?" Ying Xufei asked tentatively.

"Any request." Shang Jun affirmed.

I thought he would ask for beautiful women, gold and silver, but I didn't know: "I want Xiaoxiang to be a servant of the emperor."

This request shocked everyone present. They thought that Xiaoxiang was just a plaything for Ying Xufei's whim, but they didn't know that he could do this for Xiaoxiang.

Shang Jun's face was very ugly, Ying Xufei added: "I know that Xiaoxiang can't be a concubine or be in the right position, I only ask him to be an upright companion to my ministers, and I hope the emperor will make it happen."

"You!" Shang Jun pointed at him but couldn't say a word.

"Your Majesty, you said that any request is fine." Ying Xufei insisted.
