The second son of the prince's family

Pei Qian walked straight to the south, his left ankle was painful, but he walked along the small town without expression, and followed the people on the road into the mountain road.

It was not until the evening when the door closed that they came to a place called Nanyang City.

Pei Qian followed the flow of people into the city, only to find that there were soldiers at the gate in front of the city checking the identities of the people who wanted to enter the city one by one. Pei Qian didn't understand this at all, so he asked the person standing in front, "Brother, may I ask?" , Do you want something in the city?"

The man in front was a man in his thirties with a package on his back. He turned his head and saw Pei Qian. He was stunned for a while, then smiled embarrassedly and said, "You need to show your identity when you enter the city." It’s only a guide, anyone can’t just enter, otherwise it’s hard to investigate what happens in the city.”

Seeing that Pei Qian's brows were tightly furrowed, he asked, "I think you have an extraordinary temperament, if you need any help, just ask."

Seeing the sincerity and purity of this man's face and eyes, Pei Qian couldn't be wary of him, so he said, "To tell you the truth, I was going to visit my friends in Nanyang City, but I ran into bandits on the way, and Lu Yin took everything away. In order to protect me, the servants of the family also separated."

When Pei Qian talked about the bandits, his eyes darkened, and he felt like he was gnashing his teeth. The man didn't doubt anything, but he was just as angry, and said: "The bandits are too rampant, it's a pity that the government... But, it's good that the young master is fine. , those are external things.”

When he mentioned the government office, he hesitated for a moment, looked around, and finally changed the subject. Pei Qian was curious, but he didn't show anything. He just said with a little worry: "But there is no way to guide, how can I do it?" Into the city?"

The man immediately said honestly: "Young Master, if you don't dislike it, just follow me. I'm Cui Yong, what should I call you, Young Master?"

Pei Qian's eyes were full of gratitude, and he said seriously: "Thank you so much, Big Brother Cui. It is also fate to meet Big Brother Cui here. My surname is...Ning, and the single name is Qian. You can call me whatever you want, don't What are you talking about, son, who is so born."

Cui Yong said heartily: "Then I'll call you Xiao Ning."

Seeing the front row, Cui Yong said to Pei Qian: "Don't talk for a while, just follow me."

Pei Qian nodded, and when it was their turn, the soldier at the door said indifferently, "Lu Yin."

Cui Yong immediately took out the guide, bent slightly and said in a humble voice: "Master Bing, my cousin from afar is following me, who followed me to look for relatives, but he is too young to have a guide. Grandpa, look..."

As he spoke, he secretly stuffed the things in his hands into the hands of the soldier. The soldier kept silent, looked at Pei Qian, who looked down at Pei Qian, and said, "Okay, let's go in."

Cui Yong immediately thanked him, and then took Pei Qian in.

Nanyang City should be located in the south-central part of Yan State, and it seems to be crowded with people, not inferior to the capital city of Yan State.

After Pei Qian followed Cui Yong into the city, he said, "Thank you, Brother Cui." Then he handed Cui Yong a jade pendant he was wearing, and said, "Give this to you. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to get in."

Even if Pei Qian didn't see what Cui Yong gave to the soldiers, he could still guess what it was. He was very touched that such a stranger was willing to do this for himself.

Cui Yong waved his hand away, pretending to be angry and said: "I help you because I am willing, just like you said, acquaintance is fate, so don't be so polite with me, I will get angry now."

He spoke in a rough voice, but it made people feel heartwarming. Pei Qian pursed his lips and smiled faintly, and still handed the jade pendant to Cui Yong, saying: "Brother Cui, you help me like this, I remember it From the bottom of my heart, I can only use this little thing as a thank you, I have other things to do in Nanyang City, I will say goodbye after this, and I don’t know when I will see you again, so you should accept it, and treat it as if we got to know each other for a while.”

Seeing Pei Qian's smile, Cui Yong was stunned for a while, and finally scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Then I will accept it, and if there is fate in the future, I will return it to you."

Pei Qian nodded, and the two separated.

Pei Qian saw a medical clinic not far away, endured the pain in his ankle and walked over with a calm expression and steady steps.

But when he walked to the door of the medical hall, he stopped and looked back suddenly.

Around him, there are ordinary people coming and going. There is nothing special. Pei Qian feels that he must be too nervous. When he comes here, no matter how powerful Geng San is, he will not find himself.

Pei Qian calmed down, and found a doctor in the hospital to look at the injury on his foot.

Pei Qian's skin is fair and delicate, and his ankle skeleton is very slender, but after spraining his ankle and walking for such a day regardless of his care, the doctor was shocked that he could bear it without changing his face.

Pei Qian's trouser legs were rolled up, revealing his bruised and hideous ankle. The doctor looked at it, sighed and shook his head, and said, "If you come later, my lord, you will lose your foot."

Pei Qian just frowned and said, "How is it now?"

The doctor stood up and took a short piece of wood to Pei Qian, and said, "Bite on it, and I will prescribe medicine after bone setting."

Pei Qian showed a faint expression of disgust, and said, "I can't help it, you can do it."

The doctor raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, but didn't say anything. He held Pei Qian's swollen and purple ankle with both hands, and squeezed it gently. Pei Qian's face turned pale from the pain, he clenched his teeth, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead. meaning.

Pei Qian turned his head and didn't look at it. When he was not ready, his eyes were dark, and he felt a sudden heartache hit his forehead. The pain was so painful that he was about to bite his teeth, and there was a faint smell of blood in his mouth.

After recovering, Pei Qian panted and asked, "How is it now?"

His hair was wet with sweat, and his whole body was so pale that he seemed about to faint at any moment. The doctor glanced at him and said calmly, "I'm fine now, but sometimes I just hold back, and the condition will get worse."

The doctor applied the medicine on Pei Qian, and prepared some medicine for oral administration, and asked the boy in the shop to take Pei Qian back.

He also warned: "Don't get out of bed and walk around these few days, otherwise, don't want this foot anymore."

Pei Qian's heart was sour, his eyes were red, and he didn't know if it was pain or what, he blinked and whispered: "Thank you."

Then give the bank note on your body to the doctor.

The doctor stared at the banknote, then looked at Pei Qian. Pei Qian was puzzled and said, "Is there any problem?"

The doctor put away the banknotes, asked the boy to count some coins for Pei Qian, and said: "Take these coins, and the rest will be my reward for helping you."

Pei Qian didn't know whether the amount of money was more or less, but he still felt that the doctor was thinking of him.

So after thanking him, he asked the boy to take him to the inn.

Pei Qian booked a room in this inn for half a month, and after packing everything up, Pei Qian handed over the remaining pieces of silver to the servant and said, "Thank you, little brother, please accept this." Well, I will trouble you more in the future."

The little servant stared blankly at the broken silver in his hand, stammered and swallowed, and said: "My lord, you are too polite, just call me if you need anything."

After the boy left, Pei Qian realized that his behavior was inappropriate. He had no concept of money and the like, and he must have made a joke when giving the money just now.

Pei Qian pursed his lips and thought about his day's affairs. In the end, he was too tired and fell asleep leaning against the foot of the bed.

Pei Qian didn't go out at the inn. After three or four days, when the boy came again, he asked him to send a letter to the capital for him, and then stayed in the inn until the injury on his foot was about to heal.

There was silence in the middle, and no one came to him.

Pei Qian also had a clearer understanding of Nanyang City, and even had a general understanding of the outside world.

Here, one hundred copper plates equals one coin, and one hundred coins equals one tael of silver.One tael of silver is equivalent to half a year's expenses of ordinary people.

No one is as stupid as him, who casually takes out banknotes, or casually rewards others with silver.

Pei Qian kept these small details in his life in mind, so as not to let himself show mistakes.

However, after waiting for more than ten days without any news from the capital palace, Pei Qian's heart gradually cooled down, and he was unwilling to think about the worst.

Even people who don't know each other are willing to help. How can the relatives who have lived with him since childhood remain indifferent to his disappearance?

Pei Qian couldn't stay here any longer, so he simply packed up his things and left.

It was not until he was walking on the street that Pei Qian was at a loss as to what to do.

It would be best for everyone if they left Prince Qi's mansion by themselves, they might be celebrating their absence right now.

Pei Qian walked along the street in a daze, but gradually realized something was wrong, feeling that someone was following him all the time.

Pei Qian remained calm, found a place with a lot of people and quickened his pace to walk forward.

Pei Qian didn't know where he had gone. He turned left and right, and the number of people gradually decreased until he reached a deserted alley. His heart was pounding and he saw a secret courtyard in the corner on the right. Slightly revealing a gap, Pei Qian immediately ran in.

I pushed open the door and went in, but couldn't see the layout clearly, so I hurriedly found a corner where I could hide and got in.

After a while, Pei Qian heard a few heavy and fast footsteps running over. It seemed that he didn't notice him, and someone cursed something.

Then someone heard the door of the house next door.

Pei Qian's heart sank slightly, and it didn't take long to hear someone knocking on the door and coming in.
