"I don't know. I was walking well on the road, and I felt someone following me all the time. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but as I walked, I felt something was wrong. I took a sneaky look back, I found the man following behind. He was holding a dagger in his hand. He looked very scary," Gu Qingtong still felt lingering fear when thinking about the situation at that time. "Then I ran forward in a hurry. Fortunately, I was not far from the market. I was more at ease when I got to a crowded place."
"Have you seen that villain's face clearly?" Chen Qingxuan frowned and asked.
"No. I was scared to death at the time. How dare I look at his face?" Gu Qingtong shook his head, paused and said, "Although I didn't see clearly. But look at the clothes that man is wearing. It seems It looks like a piece of clothing worn by Mr. Meng of Mengjiatun in the past. It is very ostentatious."
Grandma Chen was startled, then looked at Gu Qingtong. Frowning, he said, "That stubborn donkey from Yuan Meng's family who once went to your house to propose a marriage?"
The stubborn donkey that Grandma Chen said was not really a stubborn donkey. It's the son of Yuanwai Meng, but he's a bit stubborn, and he's one of a kind. Relying on his family background, he married several daughter-in-laws one after another and entered the house with a bad reputation. As a result, he fell in love with Gu Qingtong last year and insisted on taking Gu Qingtong as his concubine. Gu Qingtong was so frightened that he came to Chenjiatun to hide for a while. Gu Qingtong didn't dare to go home until he heard that Mr. Meng had married a new man again.
"Yes," Gu Qingtong nodded, and said with some lingering fear, "I think of that Mr. Meng is still terribly scared."
"Don't go out alone in the future," Chen Qingxuan frowned, "tell me where you want to go, and I'll just take you there."
"Oh, I see." Gu Qingtong nodded hastily, she was really terrified today.
"According to me, it's better to get married as soon as possible," Grandma Chen, who had been silent for a long time, said in a muffled voice, "otherwise you, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl's family, will not be eye-catching?"
"Grandma!" Gu Qingtong said embarrassingly, "I... It's not that I don't want to get married, but you also know that I haven't met a reliable one, and it's no wonder I am!"
"You two, one by one, none of them is reassuring!" Grandma Chen glared at Gu Qingtong and Chen Qingxuan, while throwing the last piece of garlic in her hand into the basket, and then turned to Chen Qingxuan. Said, "Qingxuan, you send it to the girl's house. The girl said a few days ago that she wanted to pickle sugar and garlic, but there was no plant at home, so it happened that our family planted it."
"Yes, I'll send it right away." At that moment, Chen Qingxuan carried a basket full of garlic onto the donkey cart, and rushed towards Nanshan Bieyuan.

"Master, there is still no news from Nanjiang," Pang Yi said anxiously, sitting opposite Zhong Mingwei, "After listening to Master's analysis a few days ago, my subordinates can feel at ease, but after so much time However, there is still no news from Chongyuan and Xiangyang, and the subordinates are really anxious."
"It's not just that there is no news from Chongyuan and Xiangyang, isn't it that there is no trouble in the whole southern Xinjiang?" Zhong Mingwei sipped his tea and looked at Pang Yi, "Of course something happened in southern Xinjiang, Xu Chengjin intends to It is necessary to cover it up, so that there is such a peaceful scene today, but the capital should also find something tricky, let the capital go and investigate."
"Yes, Lord Long Live has always been extremely harsh on Xu's family. He has always been staring at Nanjiang and wished he could catch the mistakes. This time, Lord Long Live is probably more impatient than his subordinates," Pang Yi nodded, while He said worriedly, "It's just that I don't know how Chongyuan and Xiangyang are doing, and my subordinates are really worried."
"They are not the teenage brats in the past. They have been fighting in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years. They naturally know Xu Chengjin's temper clearly. It should not be a problem to save their lives," Zhong Mingwei said, putting the teacup on the table. After getting down, he said again after a long while, "What worries me is why something happened in Nanjiang at this time? King Pingxi just returned to Beijing, and something happened in Nanjiang's back foot. What is the relationship between the two? ?”
"Master, do you mean that Xu Chengjin specially picked Pingxi King to return to Beijing to cause trouble?" Pang Yi was stunned, and said in a hurry, "That's right, after more than thirty years, Pingxi The king finally returned to Beijing, and naturally all the civil and military eyes of the court were staring at King Pingxi, so naturally he had no time to pay attention to the southern border, so Xu Chengjin dared to do anything wrong."
