Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Ulan City at the End of the Grassland

Nangong Jingnv was looking at these so-called evidences, but she didn't expect the teacup to shatter inexplicably, and hot water flooded the table.

She held a thick stack of paper, looked at the broken teacup and fell into deep thought.

She has been restless since the night, and the broken teacup made her feel even worse.

Nangong Jingnv originally wanted to send Guan Tiansi to test the luck, but after a second thought, she let go of this idea.

Nangong Jingnu: "Get up, maybe this teacup has been around for a long time, you should clean up the book case first, and ask the Inner Court Department to send a new set tomorrow, and replace all the old ones."

Qiu Ju heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately complied.

Nangong Jingnv sat down on the chair again, and carefully read the materials in her hand again.

Xie An said these two things vividly and with convincing evidence, but Nangong Jingnv didn't even believe a single word.

Qi Yan's private residence Nangong Jingnu knew about it, and the other party also said that it was a gift from an old friend, since it was given as a gift, it must be done willingly, so how could there be corruption and bribery?

Furthermore, in the ninth year of Jingjia, Qi Yan won Huiyuan, and later she was accused of marrying Tanhua after the trial. At the end of the year when the two got married, Qi Yan had no official position at all, and then moved to Princess Zhenzhen. government.

Nangong Jingnu sneered: How could she not understand?Xie An just learned that Qi Yan was selected as Huiyuan, so he rushed to curry favor before the imperial examination. Now that Xie An is deeply imprisoned, he opened his mouth and bit him, trying to make things worse and save his own life.

Long before the two got married, Nangong Jingnv had met Qi Yan on the street. She remembered that Qi Yan ran out of the study in a hurry that day and bumped into her second sister. Now it seems that she must have gone to the study to sell calligraphy.

Qi Yan is an orphan, and needs money for food, clothing, housing and transportation in the capital. If it is really what Xie An said, why does Qi Yan have to humiliate himself?You have fame and fame, but you still want to do business?

As for the hundreds of antique calligraphy and paintings, they can be large or small.

Qi Yanxiwen knew about Mo Nangong Jingnv, but maybe it was Xie An who left things in the mansion himself, intending to bury the entanglement.

And the 1 taels of silver bill, Nangong Jingnv thought it was nonsense.From the accounts, it can be seen that the Prince Consort's Mansion had already been completed, and Qi Yan had also moved out.

Nangong Jingnv moved half of the contents of the princess mansion's treasury to the consort's mansion. There are several big boxes of real gold and silver alone, not to mention the treasures bestowed by the emperor, which are the wealth she has saved for more than ten years! 1 taels is just a drop in the ocean in front of these things.

Will Qi Yan be short of money?Even if there is an urgent need, just tell yourself, why bother to look far away?

The more Nangong Jingnv watched, the angrier she became, and she wished for someone to catch Xie An and whip him a few times in person.

But the anger turned to anger, Nangong Jingnv did not lose her composure: framing the court to order an official is a felony, Xie An would not be so stupid even if he went to the doctor in a hurry, and Qi Yan still has to ask about the 1 taels of silver when he comes back.

But right now, Xie An couldn't delay this matter.

Nangong Jingnv has carefully reviewed Xie An's confession. There are more than 30 officials in the capital alone who have private relations with Xie An, and there are hundreds of officials from other places... It is rare that Xie An can make these as small as a hundred taels I remember all the accounts clearly, it seems that it is not unreasonable for the Xie family to be rich for so many years.

With such a wide range of cases involved, it will take one to two years at the earliest to obtain evidence.In some places, it takes half a year to come and go back and forth. It is unrealistic to work so hard to convict a merchant.

Nangong Jingnv finally understood: Xie An himself knew that even if the confession was true or false, it would be difficult to verify even after three trials, and he became the first accuser to use the court's laws to save his life. Drag it to Nangong and look back to Beijing, so as to save his life.

With a "bang", Nangong Jingnv slammed down on the table, she was angry that she would be restrained by a merchant, and she was angry that so many courtiers colluded with merchants in disregard of the law.

Nangong Jingnv came to the window, and the guard not far from the window ran over immediately, and knelt in front of the window: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

Nangong Jingnu: "I look at the night, you step back."

Guard: "Yes!"

The night is as cool as water, and you can vaguely see slowly moving black clouds, and the moon appears and disappears from time to time.

Nangong Jingnv sighed softly: It would be great if Qi Yan was by her side, at least she could let him give her advice.

The pool of water in the court hall is really too deep, and she can't see anything after living in the inner court for a long time. If it weren't for Xie An's incident, she would have thought that the court was peaceful, but she didn't expect that corruption had seeped from the capital to the place.

Luobei Grassland.

A staggering figure was walking forward in the dark night, and a horse followed behind her.

The Golden Ring Crow was very guilty, and asked Qi Yan to sit on the horse several times but was rejected. It was very disappointed with itself and even more afraid that its master would abandon it, so it followed Qi Yan every step of the way.

Qi Yan's left arm was hanging by his side, and the skirt of his chest was stained red with blood.Holding a fire bag in his right hand, he was looking for something on the ground with his waist bent.

At the very moment, Qi Yan, who was on the verge of death, burst out with unprecedented strength, stuck the wolf's mouth with a longbow to avoid the ending of being bitten off the throat, and then took the opportunity to stab the wolf with a dagger, and the blood sprayed her all over. His face was covered, and his left arm was also bitten by a wolf.

In the end, the wolf fell on Qi Yan's body and died. Qi Yan let the wolf's body press him down and lay on the ground panting for a long time, and finally recovered a little strength before pushing the wolf's body away.

Her whole body was trembling, and she barely stood up from the ground after trying several times.For the rest of her life after the catastrophe, she did not have the slightest joy, but an indescribable frustration and sadness.

The horse has no skill, missed the target one after another, and failed to calculate the number of arrows... If his father is still alive, he must be very disappointed with himself, right?

Although Qi Yan assumed the identity of Wei people, she never forgot her identity for a moment, but her performance tonight was quite different from what she imagined.

It's not that the requirements are too high, but it's that after going around for more than ten years, Qi Yan suddenly found that her former talent was disappearing little by little, but after knowing it, everyone felt lost.

Qi Yan didn't blame Jinhuanwu, but was full of guilt for her new mount.It was because she overestimated herself that Jin Huanwu was hurt.

But Qi Yan didn't have the strength to explain anymore, so he could only wrong Jinhuanwu for a while.

Her father once told her: The teeth and claws of wolves are poisonous, and if they are not dealt with in time, they will go crazy.

However, there is a kind of grass with blue leaves near the wolf's den, which can cure wolf's poison when crushed and applied to the wound.

He had to find that kind of grass quickly and treat the wounds of himself and Jinhuanwu.

Qi Yan finally found the wolf's lair after using nine of the ten fire sticks he brought, and eight green eyes floated out of the dark hole with a low growl.

The chill rushed straight to the top of his head, Qi Yan never expected this would be the result...

I have no strength, and there are still four wolves in the wolf den!

But the wolf in the wolf's den didn't rush out, Qi Yan bravely held up the torch and looked inside.

A female wolf bared her teeth and let out a low growl, bowed her body and tried to block Qi Yan's sight, and a wolf cub curiously poked its head out from under the female wolf's belly, and now Qi Yan understood everything.

Unable to tell what it was like in his heart, Qi Yan retreated to Jinhuanwu, untied the burden and left only a little dry food, and threw all the edible things into the hole, then bit the fire zip in his mouth and changed his grip in his hand Dagger, squatted down to search for the herbal medicine to detoxify wolf's poison.

From the cave came the sound of the wolf cub eating, and the growl of the female wolf disappeared, but her green eyes were still open, watching Qi Yan's every move.

Have!Qi Yan saw a large piece of grass with bluish edges, pulled out a dozen of them in one go, retreated to Jinhuanwu, got on his horse, and left the wolf's den.

When he came to an open area, Qi Yan dismounted and stuffed the herbs into his mouth to chew, put the herbs on his arms and sprinkled some powder from Qiantong, cut a piece of cloth and bound it up.Then he got up and applied herbal medicine to the golden ring crow, and fed the remaining few plants to the golden ring crow to eat.

After doing all this, Qi Yan patted Jinhuanwu's neck, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I failed to protect you well."

Jin Huanwu looked at Qi Yan with those wet eyes, snorted once, and rubbed Qi Yan's cheek.

People and horses are connected, so there is no need to explain too much.

Qi Yan took dry food and water and sat on the floor, recovered a little bit of physical strength and changed into clean clothes, only to find that her inner clothes were also soaked in wolf blood, but that was the only way to go.

After five days and five nights before departure, Qi Yan finally arrived at the northernmost point of the grassland: Ulan City.

Ulan City is located in a remote location, Nangong Rang thought that there was no need to repair the city, so it maintained the former style of the grassland.

Qi Yan was holding the rein with one hand, his upper body was bent into a bow, and his body swayed as the horse moved.

Jinhuanwu was the first to smell the smell of humans and reminded Qi Yan, who immediately sat up straight and forced himself to look into the distance, a large tent - Ulan City finally arrived!

Qi Yan took off the water bag, dusted the last bit of water on his face, wiped off the stains on his face with his cuff, and walked towards the tent with his horse's belly.

Halfway through the journey, he was stopped by a group of prairie warriors.

Qi Yan: "I am the imperial envoy to welcome Concubine Yagui back to the palace, please guide me."

A person on the opposite side said to his companion in grassland dialect: "The princess told me that if there is a Wei countryman with yellow eyes coming, take her to see her."

Qi Yan heard it clearly, the other party called Ji Ya "princess" instead of "noble concubine".

The prairie man rode to Qi Yan's side, took the rein in her hand and tied it to his saddle, and ran towards the tent, all the way to the outside of the big tent without hindrance.

"Princess, the Wei countryman you mentioned is here."

There was a cry of a baby in the big tent, Jiya: "Take him down to rest first, treat him well."

Qi Yan glanced into the tent, but unfortunately the screen at the door blocked her view.

The grassland also has furniture similar to screens, but the placement and function of them are completely different from those in the Wei state.

The screens on the prairie are usually erected at the mouth of the tent, and are used to store saddles and weapons, so that they can be used for fighting at any time.

Qi Yan's heart was full of alarm bells, why was there a baby crying in Jiya's tent?
