Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era

Along the way, more and more people gathered around Qianyou.

Cangyu, a proud and courageous man, seemed to have a common secret with Qianyou. He easily entered her heart, forcing him to let go.

Qi Luobai is born with pride and domineering, but he is as obedient as a little fox in front of Qian You, making him neither hate her nor guard against her. Fortunately, she is harmless to Qian You. As for who will win the prize in the end, it has nothing to do with him, so he can only wish her the best.

A month ago, when they were drunk, Qiao Mu and Qian You sat on the roof and looked at the moon.

He heard her muttering quietly.

"Any relationship, in the end, is nothing more than an acquaintance. What is coming cannot be stopped, and what is going cannot be kept. The coming and going of people are all God's will."

He closed his eyes, felt the familiar gaze looking at him, and continued to pretend to be drunk.

He knew that this was what she said to him.

She knew that his company and his heart were enough.

Love comes out of one's own free will, no regrets for things done wrong, no regrets for what you meet, no debts to talk about.

From then on, his heart was at peace.

He treated her with the love, pampering and doting of a brother, but he restrained his love.

It would be good for him to be her brother throughout his life.

"This is spy Lin Qi, come and report what you have learned."

As the head of the spy department for this Nanqi mission, Lin Qi was entrusted with an important task for the first time and his excitement was beyond words.

"We have been here for ten days. We have been visiting teahouses and taverns undercover and have learned some news."

"tell me the story."

Qian You encouraged him to continue.

"This Lujiapo was built based on the military camp. There are 200,000 soldiers stationed in the camp, and the town also has more than 10,000 people, mostly family members of the soldiers in the camp. They came here to settle down one after another, and the longest one has been here for more than 20 years.

The highest-ranking official here is of course Weiyuan Marquis Lu Wei. The marquis’s mansion is located in the center of the town and occupies the largest area.

The Marquis's son Lü Yuan is the eldest son of the Marquis of Weiyuan. He was brought up by the Marquis since he was a child and grew up in the military camp. At the age of 25, he has already started a family and married Yu Rou, the eldest daughter of Yu Gao, the Minister of Works of Nanqi. They have one son and one daughter, who now live with Lü Yuan in the Marquis's mansion. He has two concubines, the daughters of military generals, and two illegitimate sons.

Four or five years ago, Weiyuan Marquis Lu Wei met a female opera singer who was both innocent and charming. She traveled around the country and stayed at Lujiaopo for several months. Her beauty was so legendary that it attracted his attention. As expected, he took her into his room. She has been his favorite over the years and they have a son who just turned three years old.

The Marquis’ wife and the third concubine live in Lidu all the time. They were originally brought in to live with the Marquis for a few months a year, but because of this woman, the Marquis has not gone to Lidu to pick anyone up in the past three years. People here say that this woman is quite cunning.”

"This is a family affair of the Marquis' Mansion. Has the Marquis' Mansion made any moves since the rumor that the Crown Prince is missing?"

Qiao Mu interrupted Lin Qi's excited narration.

Lin Qi scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, collected his thoughts, and continued.

“Nearly a year ago, there was a rumor going around in Nanqi that the prince had gone missing while hunting and might have met with an accident.

The Ninth Prince sent several groups of people into the mountains to search for her, but they all returned empty-handed.

The Ninth Prince blamed himself deeply for this, saying that he had not taken good care of his only nephew, causing His Majesty to worry, which led to his illness becoming more serious and unable to rule the country.

"How is my father's health now? Have you heard any news?"

Qi Luobai looked nervous.

When my father sent him out, he was already terminally ill and was just holding on to arrange his affairs.

Nearly a year had passed, and the news about Nan Qi was mixed. He was really worried that his father had already passed away.

"Everything in the palace is still normal. No major funeral has been announced this year, so there shouldn't be any unexpected changes."

Lin Qi was a little hesitant as he had not received any news from Li Du.

Qi Luobai still couldn't relax.

He had a premonition that his father should have left him long ago.

"I continued. One month after the prince disappeared, the regent summoned Marquis Weiyuan back to Lidu. He just returned two months ago. During this period, Lidu and Marquis Weiyuan's mansion in Lujiapo were very quiet, as if nothing had happened."

"No, the regent knows very well whether the prince is missing or not. It doesn't matter if he creates public opinion, but hunting him down is a fact. The prince's biggest reliance is his uncle, Weiyuan Hou. I think it's impossible that there is no influence at all."

Qiao Mu thought calmly.

He felt that Nan Qi was too calm, which made him very uneasy.

"It's unusual. What has Lu Wei done in the past two months since he came back? Has there been any change?"

Qian You frowned and asked.

"There are not many explanations, but there is one very strange thing. Every New Year's Eve, Marquis Weiyuan would host a banquet for several generals. This has been a tradition for many years. But this year, it is said that General Huwei made a scene at the banquet, claiming that the Marquis's concubine Liu was overstepping her bounds and had lost her duty. The banquet ended in a bad mood, and Marquis Weiyuan was so angry that he stayed indoors for nearly a month. Instead of restraining himself, his concubine became even more active."

Lin Qi explained all the gossips he had heard recently.

"These news are too superficial, and some of them are still to be verified, but they also reveal that there is something strange about Weiyuanhou's mansion. Our original plan was to help Qi Luobai find Weiyuanhou, who is his mother's relative and his only support. Weiyuanhou has an army of 200,000. If he can help the prince, our plan in Nanqi will be smoother. But the situation is not clear now, so we can't act rashly for the time being."

Qian You listened carefully to Lin Qi's report, summarized it and issued orders.

"Try to find a way to explore the barracks or Weiyuan Marquis's residence and find out the specific situation."

"We can't find the barracks for now, but we can try Weiyuanhou Mansion."

Lin Qi replied.

"Okay, arrange five people with excellent Qinggong skills to go with me tonight to investigate."

Qian You was arranging it.

"I'll go too." Qi Luobai said quickly.

"no!"

"No!"

Qian You and Qiao Mu said in unison.

"Your identity cannot be exposed now. We have no connection with Nanqi, so we won't attract attention. Even if something happens in the Marquis' Mansion, no one will think it's related to you. There is still a chance to save everything."

Qian You explained patiently.

Of course she knew Qi Luobai's anxiety and worry. He would be very uncomfortable with so many outsiders running around for him.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to put you in danger."

Qi Luobai's face looked a little ugly, his hands were clenched unnaturally, and his knuckles turned white.

Apart from being the legitimate crown prince of Southern Qi and holding the imperial seal, he has no other confidence.

There are no people and no money.

The Ninth Prince has controlled the government for many years. How can he easily restore orthodoxy with his own courage alone?

This road is very difficult, and he doesn't want to drag Qianyou to take the risk with him.
