"Since we are not going to Lily's house, then where are we going now?"
"Go to Jiangnan!"
"What are you doing in Jiangnan?"
"If I said to look for the Dragon Pearl, would you believe it?" Leng Qisu turned his head and stared at her for a moment.
Looking for the Dragon Ball
Mo Shuang was stunned, wasn't the Dragon Ball in the palace? Only the emperors of the past dynasties knew where they were placed. How could it be in the south of the Yangtze River
Seeing her silence, Leng Qisu turned his head and chuckled, "I know you don't believe it! You must think I said that because I don't want to give you the beads."
Mo Shuang suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.
The difference is that now the two people have exchanged positions.
She was always asking, if I said no, would the prince believe me? If I say it's not me, will the emperor believe it
One day, it was his turn to ask, did she believe it
The corner of her mouth curved into a sad arc, and she said, "I believe it!"
Leng Qisu was startled, as if he didn't expect that she would say this. Even Leng Qixi next to him looked over.
"Eleven said that the fourth sister-in-law would believe it, but the fourth brother was stunned and said no, so he asked Eleven to use Lily's incident to trick the fourth sister-in-law out. If the fourth sister-in-law wants to blame it, then blame the fourth brother. It was all the fourth brother's idea. "
Looking at Eleven's serious look, Mo Shuang smiled and turned to look at Leng Qisu, "Why do you have to take me with you when you are looking for the Dragon Ball?"
Why are you so deliberately worried that she won't go with you
"Because I don't trust you alone in the palace."
"Really?" She curved her lips and chuckled, looking disapproving.
Such beautiful words can only be heard.
Eleven next to him moved his lips, but stopped talking.
"Yes!" Leng Qisu turned his head to meet her gaze and said firmly, "otherwise, what do you think?"
She thought
Of course she wouldn't think so.
Forget it, after all, we are looking for Longzhu to save Feng Xiaochen. It would be best if she can come out together without thinking about these things.
"Isn't the Dragon Pearl in the palace? Why did it go to Jiangnan? Can it be found within a month? Otherwise, Feng Xiaochen will be doomed..."
"This is what you care about after all!" Leng Qisu sneered and turned away.
Seeing something was wrong, Eleven hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Four doesn't know anything. The Dragon Pearl has been taken away by Leng Qiyi. The Fourth Brother has been sending people to investigate secretly. Our people came to report two days ago and said they saw it in Jiangnan." Leng Qiyi’s whereabouts, that’s why we secretly went to Jiangnan.”
Leng Qiyi, Leng Qiyi again.
This should be the reason why this man insisted on taking her out with him, right
It has something to do with Leng Qiyi, how could he forget to bring her with him
"But we only have one month. No, we don't even have one month now, only twenty days. Can we definitely find Leng Qiyi and get back the Dragon Pearl in such a short period of time?"
Feng Xiaochen can't wait!
"Otherwise, you tell us what to do?" Leng Qisu turned his head again and stared at her coldly, his voice cold.
She was speechless for a moment.
Yes, there is really no other way except to look for it.
But, it’s not like he’s trying to stuff her with words like this, right
Feeling angry, she looked away and ignored him.
Suddenly, I heard his voice again, "I can't guarantee whether the Dragon Pearl will be found within a month, but I can be sure that Feng Xiaochen will not die."
"Really?" Mo Shuang raised his eyes in shock, "Why?"
But she saw him leaning his head gently on the carriage, slowly closing his eyes, and ignoring her.
"How about Fourth Sister-in-law also take a rest first?" Eleven next to him felt embarrassed and smiled coquettishly.
"It's okay, Brother Eleven, rest!"
How could she rest while sitting next to this man
At this time, the horse neighed and the carriage suddenly stopped again.
Leng Qisu opened his eyes suddenly and raised his hand to lift the door curtain.
In front of the carriage, a white horse blocked the way. On the horse stood a woman with long clothes and black hair. She was as plain as snow and wind, with a slightly bulging belly. Who else could it be if it wasn't Meng Ruxue
"Ruxue!" Eleven's expression changed, and he quickly stood up and jumped out of the carriage, "Why are you here?"
"Qi Xi, I want to go with you!" Meng Ruxue got off the horse carefully, and Eleven quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Nonsense! We are going to do business. You are pregnant now, how can you mess around? I will ask Li Quansheng to take you back!"
"No, I won't go back! I just want to be with you, and my child and I will be with you." Meng Ruxue held his hand tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Be good, be obedient, go back, I'll be back soon!" Eleven held her in his arms, patting her back gently to coax.
"No, I won't go back. No matter what you say, I won't go back."
"Ruxue, this trip is dangerous. How can I let you and your children take risks? Be obedient and go back!"
"No! It's because of the danger, that's why I want to go together! Do you know how I came here the last few days when you and Li Jiajun suddenly disappeared? I don't want to live like that again. I am in fear every day when you are not around. , I’m afraid, it’s better to be with you, share the blessings and misfortune, life and death, I think our children are also willing!”
Meng Ruxue burst into tears and spoke sincerely.
Mo Shuang looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but feel envious.
Sharing weal and woe, sharing life and death, is there any more touching emotion than this
Lowering her eyes, she smiled, feeling sour in her heart. She raised her head suddenly and met Leng Qisu's gaze looking over. She panicked and quickly looked away.
"Eleven, since Ruxue is so determined, take her with you! Sometimes, experiencing it together is not a blessing!" It was Leng Qisu who spoke, and Mo Shuang noticed that when he said the last sentence, His dark eyes hovered faintly on her face.
Eleven frowned, still a little hesitant, but Meng Ruxue had already burst into tears and smiled, "Thank you, fourth brother, thank you, fourth sister-in-law!"
Mo Shuang was startled. It seemed like she didn't say anything or do anything, right
***************************
As a result, their carriage changed from three people to four people.
Now Eleven is not embarrassed, it is Mo Shuang's turn to be embarrassed.
Leng Qisu continued to lean on the carriage with his eyes closed, motionless, not knowing whether he was pretending to be asleep or really sleeping.
She was the only one left.
Although Shiyi and Meng Ruxue tried their best to take care of her mood and found something to say to her from time to time, she only felt like a big light bulb.
Especially when Meng Ruxue was sitting in Eleven's arms, Eleven's hand was gently placed on Meng Ruxue's belly from beginning to end. Such a harmonious scene stung her eyes.
Simply, she leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes, taking a nap.
When the carriage arrived at Yanbo Town, night had fallen and the lights were beginning to turn on.
The streets are full of red lanterns, as bright as day; the streets are full of juggling performances, making it very lively.
Only then did they remember that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
Leng Qisu asked everyone to stop traveling and stay in Yanbo Town tonight.
**
Haokelai Inn
Li Quansheng booked four rooms, originally planning to share one room with Leng Qisu and Mo Shuang, one room with Leng Qixi and Meng Ruxue, one room with Qiu Ju and Dongmei, and one room with Ye Feng and himself.
Unexpectedly, before he finished dividing the rooms, Mo Shuang forced Qiu Ju and Dongmei into one room.
Everyone was sweating coldly, thinking that Leng Qisu would get angry, but they saw that Leng Qisu had a calm face and seemed to be fine, and he went into another room alone.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After briefly settling in, Leng Qisu proposed that he and Eleven go out to investigate the surrounding environment, while Li Quansheng was responsible for purchasing dry food and purchasing a carriage, while Ye Feng stayed behind to be responsible for the safety of the four women.
Half an hour later.
"Commander Ye, look at it tonight, August 15th, it's so lively outside, why don't you let us go out and have a look?"
"Commander Ye, look at the simple folk customs of this small town. Is there anything unsafe?"
"Commander Ye, you see, I am also good at kung fu. No one can bully us."
"Commander Ye, if you are really worried, just come with us."
Under the pressure of the four women, Ye Feng finally compromised.
A group of five people left the inn and headed to the night market.
At this time, many people hurried past them and swarmed in one direction. They looked over and saw an open space not far away filled with people, watching some kind of performance.
Several people found it strange and unanimously decided to go and have a look.
It turns out that it is the annual moon worship event held on August 15th. At the end of the moon worship event, there is a dance competition under the moon, and the winner can win a Pixiu gifted by the gods.
It is said that this Pixiu is carved from a peach stone, and this peach stone comes from a peach tree in front of the Guanyin Temple in Yanbo Town. Strangely enough, this peach tree only bears one peach every year, so every year, its peach stone is It is very precious and is considered by the locals as a divine creature. Carving it into a Pixiu can ward off evil, send children and bring good luck.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet. The annual Moonlight Dance Competition is about to begin. The rules are the same as in previous years. Participants are not limited to age or gender. The quality of the dance will be judged by the amount of applause from the audience. It’s decided that the winner will get this god-given Pixiu from this mayor.”
"Wow, there's dancing to watch!"
"Yeah, that's great!"
Qiu Ju and Dong Mei were jumping up and down, too excited to contain themselves, while Meng Ruxue was staring closely at the Pixiu held by the mayor in his hand, eyes full of hope.
"Ruxue, do you want it?" Mo Shuang looked at her.
"Yeah!" Meng Ruxue nodded, but still didn't take her eyes away from Pixiu, she murmured, "With this god-given treasure, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, Qi Xi and I's child will definitely He will be born safely, right?"
child
Mo Shuang felt a pain in her heart and looked up at the jasper-like full moon above her head with a sad look in her eyes.
The moon is full and the person is not round.
Looking away, she took a deep breath.
"Okay, I'll win it for you!"
Before anyone could react, they saw her moving forward among the crowd like a fish, and disappeared in a flash.
"Madam!" Ye Feng's expression changed, and he told the three of them to just stand there and watch, not to wander away, and then he quickly searched among the crowd.
The dance competition officially began, and women came forward one after another to perform graceful dances.
"Ruxue, it turns out you are here, we are looking for you everywhere, we are so anxious!" Eleven ran over and grabbed Meng Ruxue's hand tightly.
"Qi Xi!"
"Where's Mo Shuang?" The questioner was Leng Qisu, who came with Eleven. His voice was slightly condensed, but he still couldn't hide the urgency in his tone.
Everyone was startled, and he asked loudly, "Where is the Mo Shuang people?"
