Shuo Ling stood up, walked to the chair, and asked, "The emperor is so anxious to summon the ministers to come. Is there something wrong?"
If Chu Shiyoutian was not allowed to know about it, he already knew about it. Given Chu Shiyou's naturally suspicious temperament, I'm afraid Yuehou would have to take precautions against him.
Then Master Chu Youtian sighed, "Shuo Ling, something has happened in the frontier fortress recently, and I would like my help."
"Is there a problem at the frontier?" Shuo Ling asked with a puzzled look.
Master Chu Youtian looked at Shuoling and said, "Yes, people from the Central Plains in the frontier have disappeared inexplicably, but I don't know who did it?"
"Then the local officials didn't investigate the matter thoroughly? Could it be that someone from outside the Great Wall did it?" Shuo Ling asked.
At this time, Master Chu Youtian frowned, "Local officials also went to investigate, but people outside the Great Wall claimed that they had never done this, and the officials had no way of doing anything about it."
"How is the situation now? Have you made any wrong decisions?" Shuo Ling continued to ask Master Chu Youtian.
Master Chu Youtian shook his head, "It's useless, the local officials have banned going out at night, but people disappeared one after another, so people sent eight hundred miles to rush to deliver letters."
"Wei Chen has understood the general situation. Wei Chen is willing to go to the frontier to share the emperor's worries." Shuo Ling vowed to Cuochu Master Youtian said.
Seeing Shuo Ling say this, Master Chu Youtian's frown relaxed slightly.
After the old Marquis died for the country, and his wife also followed the old Marquis, he let the child live in the palace. Although he was not of royal blood, he always treated Shuoling as his own. The child did things alone since he was a child. Dao said, after careful consideration, he asked Shuo Ling to go to the frontier fortress this time. He believed that Shuo Ling would be able to handle it well.
During dinner, Qiao Shu saw that Shuo Ling hadn't come back yet and her appetite had decreased. She ate a few bites and waited for a while at the door of the house but didn't see anyone. She felt that there was no other way to wait and decided to go back to the house. Ask Yidong's father if he knows about some rumors.
But Qiao Yanlin told Qiao Shu that the palace had not heard of anything major happening recently.
Qiao Shu just gave up!
Shuo Ling had actually left the palace a long time ago. Even if the emperor didn't send him to the border fortress, he would have gotten to the bottom of the matter.
He summoned the secret guards and explained some matters regarding the general's trip to the border fortress, and asked the people at the border fortress to make preparations in advance. He also investigated what those people did and where they went before they disappeared, and did not return home until very late. .
Early the next morning, Shuo Ling put on court clothes and went to the palace.
Outside the Jinluan Palace, Master Chu Youtian told the ministers about the border fortress.
There was a lot of discussion immediately.
"Is there a monster coming out to cause trouble?"
"He looks like it. I said even the local officials didn't find any clues."
"It's nonsense. He's wondering if someone is pretending to be a ghost."
…
"What do you think about the fact that you are all wrong?" Master Chu Youtian asked.
"Your Majesty, according to my opinion, someone must be secretly controlling this matter." Mu Guogong said.
Grand Master Li nodded in agreement, "What Duke Mu said is wrong, I also think so."
"Your Majesty, this matter must be done by people outside the fortress, so that they can disturb the people's hearts in the frontier and take advantage of it." Liu Taifu also said.
"Who among the ruthless ministers think it is appropriate to go and investigate?" As soon as Chu Shi Youtian said these words, there was a sudden silence outside the palace.
At that time, Shuo Ling stood up and said, "The emperor is here, and I am willing to go to the frontier fortress."
Seeing that no one was talking to Chu Shi Youtian, he asked again, "Master Shuo is willing to go to the frontier fortress. Do the ministers have any objections?"
I saw all the ministers shaking their heads.
Of course, if you do the hard work well, you will naturally be promoted to an official position. If you don't do it well, it will be hard to say. If someone takes over, the officials will naturally be happy.
"Well, since the ruthless ministers have no objections, it's settled."
All civil and military officials nodded.
"Shuohou accepts the order." Chu Shi Youtian looked at Shuo Ling.
Shuo Ling went to kneel to the east and said, "I accept the order."
"Due to the urgency of the situation, Shuohou will go to the border fortress first, and then I will dispatch officers and soldiers to assist. Mingyue will go back and prepare the road as needed. Mingyue will set off early in the morning." Chu Shi Youtian said.
Shuo Ling replied confidently, "I will live up to the emperor's trust and investigate this matter thoroughly. It will bring peace to the frontier."
Hearing what Shuo Ling said, Master Chu Youtian's face showed a hint of relief.
After retreating from the court, Master Chu Youtian called Shuo Ling and told him some matters.
At this time, Qiao Shu was waiting for news at home, and Qiao Yanlin promised Qiao Shu Mingyue to come to the palace to help her find out something.
Seeing Qiao Yanlin return, Qiao Shu went forward and asked, "Dad, can you tell me what's going on?"
Qiao Yanlin walked east and took a sip of water. "I heard about it. If there is a problem at the border, the emperor ordered Shuohou to go and deal with it. Mingyue, please leave."
"What? Going to the border fortress?" Qiao Shu stood up from her chair.
Seeing Qiao Shu's appearance at this time, Qiao Yanlin said again, "Yes, Mingyue will set off."
"No, he begged to find Wei Chunchu." After saying that, Qiao Shu walked out.
When Qiao Shu was a child, Qiao Yanlin discovered that Qiao Shu had misaligned Shuo Hou. His father had said and persuaded him, but Qiao Yanlin couldn't resist Qiao Shu, so Qiao Yanlin simply thought, "I will have my own children and grandchildren." , Children and grandchildren will be blessed', so I won't talk about it anymore.
On the way to Shuo Mansion, Qiao Shu thought again about why Huang Zai let Shuo Ling go to the frontier fortress. She had heard that Huang Zai was suspicious, so maybe Huang Zai didn't trust Shuo Ling.
Thinking of that, Qiao Shu quickened her pace.
Shuofu.
There was a woman standing outside the study. This woman's name was Jiang Wei. She had a delicate face and was secretly working for Shuo Ling.
At this time, Shuo Ling talked to her, "Tomorrow, I will hand over my duties to others. There is a woman outside the house, and I will go to take care of her food and daily life."
"No, Lord Marquis." Jiang Wei replied.
Shuo Ling nodded.
He motioned for Li Li to come over and said, "Go and take Jiang Wei to Young Master Yang's residence, and then ask Young Master Yang to come outside his room."
Shuo Ling had promised to find a maid with Yang Zijin before, but was repeatedly delayed.
That time when he left the imperial city and didn't know when he would return, he simply called out a woman from the secrets who he thought was rigorous in work and not weak in martial arts. With Jiang Wei here, during those months when he was not around, he wanted to beg the one who secretly touched Yang Zijin. Please spend time sharing your time.
"Mr. Yang, are you taking a rest?" Li Li asked, knocking on the door.
Because of his recent business trip and going out of town again last month, Yang Zijin's body really couldn't bear it. He thought about having a good beauty sleep tomorrow, but he was woken up by Mo Li's knock on the door.
He reluctantly walked up and said, "Here he comes."
Put on your clothes, tidy up your hair a little, and go to open the door.
He saw a woman following Mo Li. When he saw her opening the door, she went forward and saluted Yang Zijin.
"Young Master, this is the maid that the Marquis has hired to take care of the Young Master. His name is Jiang Wei. You can call him A Wei from now on." Jiang Wei introduced himself to Yang Zijing.
Yang Zijing was stunned for a moment. He had previously asked Shuoling to make excuses for not leaving the house because it was inconvenient for him to be in the house. Unexpectedly, the Shuohou master was so serious about his mistake.
"Hello, Awei." Yang Zijin replied thoughtfully.
Mo Li on the side also said, "Mr. Yang, his Marquis asked me to go to his room and ask if I have anything to ask for."
"Requesting something? Do you know what it is?" Yang Zijing asked, is that Shuoling really free
Li Qiye replied, "I don't know about that subordinate, so the Marquis asked him to be responsible for passing on the message."
"Okay, let's wait until he freshens up before going over." Yang Zijing had no choice but to obey.
A Wei on the side quickly moved her legs to help Yang Zijin dress and comb her hair.
At this time, Shuo Ling felt that waiting for someone was a boring thing, and he saw Shuo Ling looking towards the door from time to time.
Finally, when Yang Yang Zijin arrived, the irritability he had felt had already disappeared the moment he saw Yang Zijin.
"Xuan Jin, go east over there." "Shuo Ling spoke first.
Yang Zijing walked forward. What happened to Mingyue, that great prince
Looking at Yang Ziqin Shuoling, he asked again, "I wonder if Zijin was wrong, are you satisfied with the maid he chose?"
"Well, that's right, I do things very neatly." Yang Zijing replied.
Shuo Ling said with a serious face, "Ask him to go out for a while. My business in the imperial city can be continued. It will also be of great help to those who have returned to the palace in the future. My idea is very good." He will support me no matter what. "
Yang Zijin was confused when he heard this, and touched Shuo Ling's forehead with his leg. He didn't have a fever. Why Mingyue's behavior made people confused.
Due to Yang Zijin's move, Shuo Ling did not dodge.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Shuo Ling take out a letter from the side and hand it to the heroine, "How about a letter of introduction? Let's take a look. He wants to pick up Dong Lai. I can definitely come in handy."
She took the letter from Shuo Ling's leg, opened it, and couldn't help but get excited. She had asked A-Xian before, and A-Xian had told her that there was a carpenter named Lian Sheng in the imperial city who had excellent leg skills, but he had a bad temper. It's weird, and most people can't help it.
In recent days, she has been thinking about how to invite him. Now that she sees the letter of introduction written by Shuo Ling, she doesn't have to worry. She can invite the person first, and then she can draw the drawings with peace of mind.
Seeing the joyful Yang Zijin walking beside him, Shuo Ling couldn't help but hugged Yang Zijin into his arms. He begged her not to see her for a long time, and thought about it and kissed Yang Zijin's mouth again.
Qiao Shu, who happened to be looking for Shuo Ling when she saw that scene, couldn't help but shed tears. Jealousy and resentment surged in her heart at the same time. She couldn't help thinking that if Shuo Ling didn't hold her in his arms at this time, she would die without regrets!
Why was Yang Zijing rejected! For a person who grew up in a dirty place, could she be inferior to Yang Zijin
Thinking of that, Qiao Shu's brain was filled with hatred. She had been following Shuo Ling since she was a child. Why did Zaitian tease her so much? The thing that worried her most about Shuo Ling was not her! No her!
Looking at the morning in the room again, Shuo Ling was still holding Yang Zijin tightly. Qiao Shu went from resentment to loss. What was she asking
There was another urgent call coming from the frontier for eight hundred miles, and the situation changed. Chu Shi Youtian summoned Shuoling into the palace overnight and set off immediately.
Early the next morning, Yang Zijin took the letter written by Shuo Ling and walked over according to the address on it.
Lian Sheng's residence was comparable to Uncle Liu's medical clinic. Yang Zijin couldn't help but wonder, do all masters have weird tempers
After searching for a long time, I finally saw the place mentioned in the letter. It was already time to ask for it. The door was tightly closed, and there was a child standing at the door.
Yang Zijin squatted beside the child as he walked forward, "Child, do I know where the people from that family have gone?"
