Chapter 925: The Disappearance of Important Figures
Qing Gongzi didn't know what to say, Qiao An saw that Qing Gongzi had taken medicine, and said, "You don't have to get up early tomorrow to be greedy for darkness, you have to have a good rest recently." ”
"There's a lot to do here, how can I have a good vegetarian meal."
"There's me." Qiao An patted her chest, and on the second day, Qiao An helped Qing Gongzi tidy up the inn and shops, she and Sister Hong had already run a lot of large and small businesses before, and it was nothing to deal with these things.
The whole day was filled with tense things, but as soon as she was free, Qiao An was thinking about Qing Gongzi's injury, how could she completely solve Qing Gongzi's problem once and for all?
Thinking so crankily, a day passed, and after returning home, Qiao An and Qing Gongzi had dinner together, and Qing Gongzi, who had taken the antidote, was in better physical condition, and there was laughter and laughter at the table.
Qiao An saw that Qing Gongzi was gradually improving, but his mood was very anxious, according to the previous fortune operator's advice, this medicine can not be stopped, after eating a post, you need to work hard while the iron is hot to grab the second sticker, the third sticker.
If you eat it in such a hurry, the effect can get better, but at this moment, after Qing Gongzi has already taken this medicine, there is no way to continue, but Qing Gongzi himself is in the dark.
In the past few days, because of the dispensing of medicine, Qiao An has been anxious and sad every day.
But just as the so-called mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, just when Shen Qiaoan thought he was cornered, General Cheng actually arrived and sent a small box of crane top red to Qiao An.
These weights are far from enough to bring Qing Gongzi back to life, but at this moment, the treatment still has to be carried out, and he doesn't dare to be careless at all.
Seeing that the general was coming, Qiao An was grateful, "How did you get here this morning and evening, and now you will be scolded if you rush back, I have dragged you down." Shen Qiaoan looked at General Cheng sadly.
If you want to talk about her fox friends and dog friends, General Cheng is counted as one, and Qiao An remembers clearly how she pulled the general from the short to make General Cheng stand out.
Over the years, General Cheng has been one of Qiao An's most loyal friends, and he doesn't know how complicated and difficult the process of these medicinal materials is, and General Cheng never asks Qiao An what the purpose of these medicinal materials is.
Shen Qiaoan was grateful to General Cheng, washed his hands to make soup, and cooked a table of delicious food for General Cheng, General Cheng was also very happy after eating, and said: "The autumn harvest is about to be completed recently, and I am not in a hurry to go back from the imperial capital to Ye Qinguo, and I will help grab the harvest." ”
Qiao An thought of something in a trance, and suddenly understood that this Ye Qinguo is now a part of Zhongjing, and about Ye Qinguo's crops, after harvesting, most of them will naturally be sent to Zhongjing.
In the previous locust plague, the treasury had already fallen into deficit, and in the same world, the crops in Zhongjing were miserable, and Ye Qinguo was completely different.
Because Yeqin Kingdom is close to the Bohai Sea, the rice is very full, and the wind and rain are also very smooth all year round.
General Cheng did not go back, and on the second day, he led the guards to help harvest the crops, and everything was carried out in a very orderly manner.
Every once in a while, General Cheng will come to see Qiao An, Qiao An has a stomach full of complaints and grievances, and when he meets General Cheng, he pours bitter water, and General Cheng is also happy to listen, and from time to time he will give Qiao An ideas, but most of them are bad ideas.
After dinner, Qiao An said, "How have you been busy lately, has the rice field been cleaned up?" ”
"Ye Qinguo is in the end, the wind and rain are smooth, the rice is much more abundant than our Zhongjing, and the tribute grain has been loaded, and it will be sent to Zhongjing in the near future."
"Stay safe on the road."
The baggage needs to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, and there is no shortage of horses and bandits along the way, who are most fond of worsening the court to do the opposite.
"We pretended to be merchants and went back, separated a lot of roads, and didn't just rush up and go." General Cheng laughed.
Qiao An didn't expect that this General Cheng had cultivated so smartly, and smiled approvingly.
On this day, Qiao An was going to see General Cheng, one was to thank him, and the other was to say goodbye. How did she know that she waited for a long time at the place where the general was stationed and didn't see her, but she met Liang Hongyu.
Hongyu and Qiao An had a good relationship before, Hongyu regarded Qiao An as her mentor and friend, and often consulted Qiao An about life problems, and emotional problems also came as soon as she opened her mouth. Anyway, Shen Qiaoan was happy to answer.
"Today is his birthday, and he looks like he's twenty-six years old, and I've done this." Liang Hongyu pointed to a longevity peach next to her.
Zhongjing people are more popular to send longevity peaches, this longevity peach does not look strange on the surface, but there is a layer of ghee inside, and under the ghee is condensed milk, and the taste is not much.
The most important thing is that this longevity peach is very mysterious, after steaming, with a small spoon lightly, it suddenly bursts, revealing the fragrant condensed milk inside.
That Shou Tao has cooled down, but he has not seen General Cheng come back.
"He's always getting carried away when he patrols the city, and who knows when he'll come back? Today is his birthday, he can't remember it himself, but those guards remember, I'm afraid that he is still drinking flower wine outside, why don't you come to me first, and when he comes back, I invite him to our inn. ”
For now, this is the only way to go.
Liang Hongyu hugged Shou Tao, crying and laughing behind Qiao An, the two arrived at the inn and saw Qing Gongzi, Qiao An saw Qing Gongzi doing wood carving, tired and panting.
"Let me introduce you, this is Shen Qingnian."
"Shen Qingnian?" For Liang Hongyu, Qing Gongzi is the existence of "only hearing his voice but not seeing his person", Liang Hongyu stared at Qing Gongzi and found that Qing Gongzi had a wound on his cheek, one eye was sharp and bright, and the other eye was dark and weird.
She also felt that she was staring at a stranger like this, so she hurriedly lowered her eyes, seeing Liang Hongyu lowering her pink neck, Qiao An smiled.
"Alright, it's lunchtime, get something to eat." Now for a period of time, as long as Shen Qiaoan has time to spare, she will personally cook food for Qing Gongzi, her cooking skills are very good, and after the food is delivered, it is really swept away.
After eating, Liang Hongyu was still waiting for Shou Tao with her arms.
"Our man is over there, he'll send a message when he comes back, if you're sleepy, just rest, I'll call you later?" Qiao An saw that Liang Hongyu was really sleepy, so she soothed and gently patted Hongyu's shoulder.
Finally, I only felt that the upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and I was a little physically exhausted, and I was expected to be unable to hold on, so I put Shou Tao next to me, "Then I'll rest, there's news for you to call me." ”
"I'll take care of you, don't worry." Shen Qiaoan smiled.
But there was no news of General Cheng sent back, and on the second day, Liang Hongyu got up and said in surprise: "Is there still no news?" ”
"Nope."
"No!" Hongyu was agitated, her eyebrows were shaking, "Then there must be some danger, I told him before, I want to celebrate him this birthday." ”
Although General Cheng was born recklessly, he is full of promises, as long as it is what he promised, he is bound to do good things from the beginning to the end, and rarely release pigeons.
Hearing Hongyu say this at this moment, Qiao An could only say: "Recently, I have to send food back, and I have worked hard along the way, and the hardest thing is to count the early arrangements, where can I do it overnight, I'm afraid he is still busy." ”
What else did Qiao An have to say, Liang Hongyu had already pulled out her feet and ran away, and even Shou Tao forgot about it.
"This is a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks." Behind him was the meaningful voice of Qing Gongzi, Qiao An looked back and realized that Qing Gongzi had walked towards him.
Then, he gave Joan a piece of wood carving, and when she saw it, it was a little fat pig, "Why is it a pig?" ”
"Happy pig."
Yes, the really happy animals are stupid, and the dogs and pigs are happy, because they don't think much about the rest of the things, and they are very undemanding. As for the fox and the tiger, how do they get happy?
Shen Qiaoan held the pig, "Then it's my gift, hahaha." ”
"I was going to carve you, but it turned out to be this."
"This!" Joan's expression was weird.
The last medicine in the afternoon was also prepared, and recently Qiao An found that Qing Gongzi had become dependent on this medicine, she suddenly felt that this medicine may not be the panacea, she wanted to go to the master early, but she was afraid that the master would travel all over the world, and she was afraid that Shen Qingnian would have three long and two short on the road, so she could only think melancholy, and she couldn't act immediately.
However, Qing Gongzi still didn't know that there was a shortage of medicinal materials.
When Qiao An was decocting the medicine, Liang Hongyu had already come back with a roar, "Shen Qiao'an, it's bad, it's terrible." ”
"How?" Joan held the fan, carefully blowing the wind, and looked at the red jade with a smile.
"General Cheng is gone, gone!"
When Qiao An heard this, he was stunned at first, and then smiled without a smile: "He is a big living person, he is almost thirty years old, how can he disappear?" The army is so busy again, Zuo just ate two more cups last night, and asked the willow to go. ”
Qiao An also knew that the men in the army had problems with the wind and snow, but Liang Hongyu was very anxious, "I said, let's go and have a look." ”
Qiao An couldn't stand Liang Hongyu's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and the medicine had just been fried, so she was forced to grab her wrist and take it away.
When he arrived at Xingyuan, Qiao An saw Du Bian, the two took a look, Qiao An immediately asked about the situation, this inquiry, and was immediately dumbfounded, it turned out that General Cheng did not come back a day ago.
As soon as Du Bian opened, he thought that General Cheng was born yesterday, so he went to play with Qiao An, and at this moment, the two communicated and found that after General Cheng said goodbye to Qiao An the afternoon before yesterday, he never came back.
In this way, the disappearance of General Cheng was confirmed, and Qiao An was still in danger, so he immediately found someone to investigate, and everyone was busy and searched for two hours, even the nearby tavern and Qinglou were searched, and found that there was no trace of General Cheng.
In this case, the situation is bad.
General Cheng is a first-class protector general, he is really a high authority, and there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with in the ranks.
Shen Qiaoan could only come over to help, but fortunately, she also had her own way of dealing with these things.
On the second day, Du Bian was in a hurry for 800 miles, and the matter of General Cheng was immediately sent to the imperial capital.
The most incredible thing is that although General Cheng disappeared, the team transporting rice and grain traveled unhindered along the way and did not encounter any bandits.
When Li Zhongxuan arrived, Hongyu was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly explained her reasoning to Li Zhongxuan.
"Your Majesty, you have come thousands of miles away, you must look for it, General Cheng is a pillar of talent, indispensable."
"I know, don't worry."
During the period of General Cheng's absence, Qiao An was in charge of handling the affairs at hand of General Cheng, originally Shen Qiaoan heard that Li Zhongxuan was coming today, and she was going to leave early to avoid the meeting between the two. But who knows, after all, it is still a narrow road.
"What do you think about this?"
"It's me who is not good, his disappearance has something to do with medicine, I shouldn't ask him." Qiao An knew that not only was he being targeted, but even General Cheng was being targeted.
