Lu Heng's complexion turned from ruddy to pale.
Under Qin Huaiyuan's eyes that seemed to see everything, Lu Heng's deep thoughts that he thought were hidden were all exposed.
Both are smart people with very keen senses. It's just that Lu Heng had never been in contact with Qin Huaiyuan before, but now he was reminded by a pun. , The scorching crackling sounded, causing a burst of heat to follow on his face.
Is he not as good as Pang Xiao
Does he care less about Qin Yining than Pang Xiao
Or is Qin Huaiyuan still satisfied that Pang Xiao brought Qin Yining such a chaotic life
The corners of Lu Heng's lips twitched, and he didn't know how to address Qin Huaiyuan for a while, and all the words he wanted to refute were choked in his throat.
Qin Huaiyuan sighed lightly, he could understand the thoughts of the little ones, but he couldn't watch things develop in a bad direction.
Pang Xiao's side is indeed a lot of trouble. But Pang Xiao treated Qin Yining wholeheartedly. One can't be too greedy. He only has one daughter, so naturally he can only promise one family. Qin Yining's mind is also on Pang Xiao. If he doesn't give a little mention, the young man in front of him still doesn't know if he will be able to make a few tricks. Something they don't want to see.
However, Qin Huaiyuan also knew that emotional matters were unreasonable. If only a few words could persuade, there would not be so many idiots and haters in this world.
Qin Huaiyuan rushed to Lu Heng and nodded slightly, instructing him to rest, then took the map and turned away to find Ji Zeyu.
Lu Heng stood still, no one could understand the impetuousness and grief in his heart.
Looking towards Qin Yining's resting direction, he took two heavy steps before finally stopping.
Can't be impulsive. Qin Yining is pregnant with twins, what should he do if he hurts his body? He likes her, and he also wants to monopolize her. This kind of thinking has become stronger and stronger after he has been reused by the title and the saint. But he would rather kill everyone than hurt her.
Forget it, wait a minute, no hurry, no hurry.
Lu Heng stood there for a long time before he went to find his long companion and rested on the temporarily arranged floor.
Ji Zeyu and Qin Huaiyuan had already reached the other side of the mountain where the imperial mausoleum was located.
Ji Zeyu's face was stern, holding the map and pursing his lips, waiting for someone to explore the ground. Seeing Qin Huaiyuan approaching, Ji Zeyu restrained himself from waiting before facing outsiders, and bowed his hands politely: "Uncle Qin."
Facing Ji Zeyu's title, Qin Huaiyuan nodded happily and said with a smile, "Prince Ji has worked hard. Just now the soldiers came to deliver dinner, and I don't think that he will be of much use. Now the scene is chaotic, and only Consort Ji can calm it down. One person, you must take care of it."
Ji Zeyu smiled, his bright eyes were cold in the moonlight, but the smile lines on the corners of his lips and the fleeting dimples made his whole handsome face bright and gentle.
"Uncle Qin, don't worry. After fighting in Xiabianguan for many years, I can endure any kind of pain. It's not a problem for a meal. And now that the saint and Zhixi are trapped below, I can't eat anything."
Qin Huaiyuan nodded when he heard the words, and sighed: "This time, important officials in the court, nobles, and noble families have all suffered here. Khan will not take this opportunity to raise troops, otherwise we will be even more passive."
Ji Zeyu knew that Qin Huaiyuan was reminding himself, and said with a smile, "What Uncle Qin said is very true. It's just that the Hu Ben army, who is in charge now, is all around Gyeonggi, and it's beyond reach for a while."
Qin Huaiyuan understands people, and it is clear when he hears that, although Ji Zeyu has close friends in the Longxiang army, he will not extend his hand to the border when it is not necessary, so as not to give people a handle.
It seems that Ji Zeyu and Pang Xiao are similar people. No wonder they can be best friends.
The two didn't talk about anything else, they just focused on how to open the underground palace to save people.
At this time, the capital had fallen into an unprecedented panic.
The Chongshan Emperor's Mausoleum is not far from the capital, and it's only time for three sticks of incense. The explosion of the Chongshan Emperor's Mausoleum caused a local earthquake. Although the capital did not feel the shaking, the people living in the suburbs also heard the rumbling sound.
When the people were at a loss, injured officials were sent home one after another from the direction of Chongshan, and some officials' family members heard that something had happened to Chongshan, so they cried and drove out of the city to Chongshan. Mountain looking for people.
Even if everyone orders people not to talk too much, they can't control that everyone has the closest friend and the best relative. This kind of "I only tell you, you don't tell others" thing will soon become a reality. spread all over the capital.
I don't know if it was intentional or not. Even in the chat room in the restaurant and teahouse, some people whispered about the collapse of the Chongshan Emperor's Mausoleum.
After the curfew, Wucheng Soldiers and Horses and Shuntian Prefecture arranged twice as many people as before to patrol the city. The common people have heard a lot of rumors in various versions, and seeing how nervous the soldiers are, they can't help but get nervous.
Every household locks the doors and windows, and they don't care about the heat.
Those merchants wish they could add more boards, and even more than half of the Fireworks Lane Zhifen Street closed their doors and did not do business.
First, the city was searched, and then the imperial mausoleum collapsed. It is said that the saint, the prince, and some high-ranking officials were buried alive. The people felt that the sky was falling.
This tense atmosphere soon spread to the palace.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Ma and Yao Chenggu were having breakfast when Mrs. Yao rushed in in a panic.
"Mother! Dafu seems to have an accident!"
Ma Shi put down the spoon, "Where did you hear the rumor."
"It's not a rumor, it's all exploded now. I'm afraid people all over the city know it. It is said that the saint took people to the Emperor's Mausoleum of Chongshan. I don't know what happened. It was ignited, the imperial tomb collapsed, and many people were buried alive inside."
Yao Chenggu put down the rice cake, couldn't swallow anything, and said worriedly: "So, it's very likely that my in-laws took Qin's out yesterday, and they probably knew about it?"
"Bacheng is like this." Yao shi said indignantly, "What do they mean? Even though they knew that something might happen to Dafu, they still refused to tell us what their hearts are at home!"
Hearing the words, Ma slapped the table and said angrily, "Tell you? Tell you whether you can save people, dig mountains, or quell rumors in the city?"
Yao Shi was beaten by Ma Shi too many times, and now there is a shadow in his heart. Seeing that Ma Shi lost his temper, he was already a little timid.
However, the rumors were too terrifying, and Yao shi couldn't take care of that much at this moment. He sat down next to Ma shi and said in a low voice, "If nothing happened, why didn't Dafu and Dafu's wife come home yesterday? Dafu? The daughter-in-law has a big belly, and she can't go out to worship on weekdays and has to be carried on her back. He is so squeamish, how could he suddenly go out in a car? I think they must have gone to Chongshan, and it is very likely that something happened to Dafu."
Ma couldn't get used to Yao's words, so he gave her a fierce look and said, "You are also a mother-in-law, so pay attention to what you say, otherwise people will think you are vulgar. No matter how rumored it is outside. , we can't be in chaos in the house. These days, I have asked people to close the house, you don't want to go out, and you must also restrict people not to go out. "
"So, you already knew?" Yao Chenggu asked with a frown.
Ma nodded and said, "Yesterday girl Yi told me when she went out. But she just guessed that she was in a hurry to save people."
Ma explained what Qin Yining had told her, and then said: "My father-in-law said at first that he would take someone to Chongshan, but his father-in-law is now white, and the soldiers who surrounded Chongshan would not necessarily let him go. Yi girl is a princess, and she is a super-first-class official who was personally sealed by the sage, in order to pass the news to the inside, Yi sister has to go out."
Staring at Yao Shi, he said again: "You are also a mother, and the daughters of others do all this to save our family's great blessings. Anyway, if you keep your virtues, you will also accumulate some virtues for yourself."
Yao shi was reprimanded for depression, but panic.
She heard the rumors before, and she was not afraid because she knew the rumors were not credible.
Who is that man? The emperor of a dynasty was so stupid that he brought all the officials into the underground palace of the former imperial mausoleum, and then they were all buried in the underground palace? Wouldn't that even save the funeral when he died? The Holy One is not stupid!
Yao shi just thought the rumors were nonsense at first. Although he was a little anxious, he didn't take it all seriously.
But after hearing what Ma said, it was confirmed that Pang Xiao might have been buried in the underground palace. Otherwise, Yao shi was completely panicked.
"Father, mother, what to do with this? You should think of a way!"
"What else can we do? We can't help, the only thing we can do now is to help the children take care of their home." Ma looked at Yao Chenggu, "Old man, what do you think?"
Yao Chenggu and Ma Shi were separated for so long. Although Ma lost his temper, he was angry, but Ma was so soft to discuss with him, and he was also happy. After all, they are old couples who have been together for a lifetime.
Yao Chenggu's letter was warm, and he dispelled some anxiety. He took the shredded tobacco and added it to the brass cigarette pouch. The old big hand pressed the shredded tobacco down, and said after a while: "You are right. Be optimistic about your home, and organize the gold, silver, etc. in advance. If you have to leave temporarily, you will not be in a hurry. In one, arrange a person to go to Chongshan to scan and listen, what is going on? ."
Ma nodded and said, "I don't think we can decide this by ourselves. There are sister Yi, his second uncle and third uncle in our family, and we also have two counselors left by Dafu. After all, we are closed now. It’s a family, and if something goes wrong, we have to get together and discuss it.”
