[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love

Chapter 16 The Death of Si Niang

Prince Duolun is not in the royal court, Prime Minister Jin Canzi pays more attention to Prince Wu Ti.Wu Luohou felt uneasy because the prime minister was too close to the prince. Before She Lun came back and revealed some information, he hadn't told His Highness Wu Ti yet.However, now that the prime minister's confidant, Shao Dun, has returned, he sent someone to watch outside the prime minister's camp, and found that it was Dana who replaced Shao Dun and left.

Suspicion suddenly arose in his heart, wondering whether Da Na had other missions or went to Wei State.No matter whether the prince will punish him for what happened two years ago, he has to speak out, otherwise, if Li Duo is still alive but is bumped into by Da Na, he will surely die.

Wu Luohou entered Wu Ti's main tent and knelt on the ground on one knee, "Your Highness, Wu Luohou has something to report, and I hope His Highness will make amends."

Wu Ti glanced at Wu Luohou indifferently, then continued to draw the bowstring intently, "What's the matter, let's talk."

Wu Luohou lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, Li Duo is still alive, she may be in Wei State."

The tensed bowstring was suddenly loosened, and there was a 'clank' sound... Wu Ti looked at Wu Luohou who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief, "Say it again."

Wu Luohou had no choice but to tell Wu Ti the ins and outs of the incident two years ago, including the fact that he took Li Duo out of the royal court privately.After Wu Ti heard it, he slapped the table, got up in front of the table, walked quickly to Wu Luohou, and kicked him.

He stared angrily, and questioned: "Why did you say that Li Duo didn't die now!"

Wu Luohou got up and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, please forgive me. At first, because of the prime minister, I didn't tell the truth about Li Duo's life. Later, Li Duo disappeared. I was worried that His Highness would blame me, so I never dared to say anything. Your Highness, although I didn't It has been confirmed that Li Duo is in the Kingdom of Wei, but Dana has left the royal court, and the subordinates do not know his whereabouts, so they have to come here to report."

Wu Ti stood anxiously in the tent, unable to understand why the prime minister wanted to kill people because of a few inappropriate words, what was the purpose behind it, was the person in Wufeng Valley of Wei State really Li Duo?There was silence in the tent, Wu Ti thought about the attitude of the prime minister in the past two years, and some things when Li Duo was by his side, he just felt confused and had no clue at all.

"Your Highness..." Wu Luohou looked at Wu Ti who was walking back and forth, and reminded him, "Miss He Hong is here."

When He Hong walked into the tent, it was rare to see Wu Ti's uneasy expression. He seemed to be thinking about something, and he didn't even know he came in. "Wu Ti, go hunting with me tomorrow. I just can't understand Yit, Guza and the others. If Duolun isn't here, I think I'm great. You are much better than them! Hmph, I must make them look good tomorrow!"

Wu Ti looked at He Hong's bright face, and was speechless for a moment, how long had he not looked at her carefully.He was always angry because He Hong liked Duo Lun, and he used to tell Li Duo about his own concerns. She helped him find ways to please He Hong, and Li Duo always made him happy.But after Li Duo died, he seemed to be at a loss as to how to face He Hong. Although he was still responsive to her requests, he seemed to have lost the urge to do everything possible to please her.

"You are talking, do you want to help me teach Yite and Guza tomorrow, let them go back to the territory, how dare you show off in the royal court!"

Wu Ti calmed down and said: "Yit and Guza just followed my two uncles to Wangting to visit Father Khan, and they will go back in a few days. What are you angry with them?"

He Hong lost her temper unhappily, "It's okay for them to speak ill of Duo Lun! Are you going or not?"

But Wu Ti suddenly asked her, "Duo Lun has been in Wei Guo for quite some time, He Hong, didn't you hear from the Prime Minister when he will come back?"

When Duo Lun was mentioned, He Hong gradually lost her anger.She has always been straightforward, and when Wu asked a question, he said everything he knew, "I heard from my father that he will come back after the mission is over. Shaodun who followed before came back, and my father asked Dana to go to Wei Guo to help Duo Lun." , He already set off yesterday, and I asked him to bring good kumiss for Duo Lun." After she finished speaking, she looked at Wu Ti belatedly, "Why do you ask this?"

"It's nothing." Wu Ti sat back at the table and picked up the bow and arrow, "You go back first. If you are free, I will go hunting with you tomorrow."

"You..." Wu Ti refused her, and He Hong glared at him angrily, "Whatever you want, I can deal with them by myself!"

After He Hong left, Wu Ti was silent for a while, and said to Wu Luohou: "Have someone prepare the customs clearance documents, and then buy some goods from the Rouran merchant, pick two people, and I will go to Wei Guo as soon as possible. "

Wu Luohou took the order and hurried out of the camp.

……

In the early morning, Wufeng Valley.

Yesterday, after seeing the shading of the wedding picture, Zhiqing went to the embroidery shop early in the morning, took care of the business for a while, and then ran to the weaving room behind to lead the weavers to weave brocade.The shading pattern of Heqintu is the style specified by Rouran and approved by the imperial court. I believe that when it is completed, the silk with this shading pattern will definitely be sought after.At that time, the first sale with the signboard of Luoshen Manor will definitely make a lot of money.

After a busy morning, Zhiqing came out of the weaving room in the backyard when it was almost noon.As soon as he arrived at the embroidery village, the treasurer of the brocade hall just came back from the outside.He had a look of panic and uneasiness. Seeing him like this, Zhiqing couldn't help but ask, "Shopkeeper He, what's wrong with you?"

"Miss, Si Niang from Jinxiu Villa has died."

Zhiqing looked at him in disbelief, "How is this possible, I went to Jinxiu Villa yesterday, and Si Niang is still fine, how could she die!"

Shopkeeper He wiped the sweat off his face, and said with lingering fear: "I just heard that I didn't believe it, so I went out to inquire. Si Niang was indeed dead, and it was said that Huaerjin's Jia Jun killed it. It spread all over the place." Already!"

"Aunt Yun? Impossible!" Zhiqing ran out in disbelief.

When she arrived at Jinxiu Villa, the outside was already crowded with people, and the gate was guarded by a group of soldiers, no one could enter.People who listened to the discussion said that Jia Jun had already been put in jail by County Magistrate Chen, and Zhiqing went to Huaerjin again, but there was no one, so he had to go back to Luoshen Manor first.She didn't know what the situation was like now, so she had to go back and tell grandpa first, and then find another way.

Luoshen Manor, gazebo in the backyard.

Xie Qichen had already interrogated Jia Jun, and she firmly denied that she was the murderer. According to her, Si Niang's death was very strange.Wu Zuo and Luo Zhao also examined Si Niang's body, and found no obvious injuries.Judging from the current situation, this suspicious murder case is very difficult.However, there is only half a year for the marriage plan, and there is no delay. People died in Jinxiu Villa, Si Niang died tragically, Jia Jun went to prison, and weaving and marriage plans lost the two most important people. What will happen next? Xie Qichen wants to hear Babeican’s Opinion.

The two sat opposite each other at the stone table, their faces were extremely heavy.

In terms of skill, experience, and reputation, only Jia Jun can take over from Si Niang as the host of the wedding picture, but she is the suspect who killed Si Niang, which Xie Qichen resolutely does not consider.

"Then there's only Mulan..." Eighth Grandfather said.In the last selection of embroidered girls, Mulan's skills were the most outstanding compared to others, Fu Ling was still in grief of losing her mother, Zi Su was too young, and her spring silk skills were limited, so they were not suitable for hosting and kissing pictures.

"But Mulan is Jia Yun's daughter, and even if she is not suspected, there are not enough people to weave the marriage map..." Xie Qichen thought for a while, and then said: "Old man, is there anyone else who can be considered? Ling said, the old man's granddaughter Zhiqing is also outstanding in embroidery, why has she never participated in weaving?"

"Qing'er?" Babeican smiled helplessly, "My granddaughter is used to idleness, and she only wants to weave embroidery according to her preferences. I also wanted her to weave pictures with Chunsiu before, but she said she didn't know how to do it. Didn't go. The hosting and planning matters are very important, and Qing'er may not be competent for her."

Xie Qichen didn't want to force others to make things difficult, not to mention that Zhiqing was the granddaughter of Babeican.But the current situation is special, one more person will be more helpful, he earnestly said: "Even if you can't be the host, please ask the old gentleman to come forward and let Zhiqing and other weaving girls weave and kiss the picture together."

"This..." Eighth Grandpa sighed slightly, "General Xie, it's not that I don't want to help. My granddaughter has suffered a lot, but I can't bear to force anything she doesn't want to. How about this, the general can find her Let's talk about it, I believe she will agree."

"Thank you, old man. I don't know if Zhiqing is at home. I will talk to her about it right away."

Babeican just wanted to say that Zhiqing had gone out early in the morning, but heard a burst of hurried footsteps, the two turned their heads and saw that Zhiqing was running in a hurry. "Grandpa, Si Niang is dead. People on the street say that Aunt Jun killed her. This is impossible!"

Zhiqing ran all the way back to Luoshen Manor, thin sweat was forming on her forehead, her face was reddish, and she was out of breath.Seeing her like this, Babeican sighed, and hurriedly pulled her to sit down. As his granddaughter, she lost her sense of proportion and acted recklessly whenever she encountered something she cared about.

"General Xie is here, don't be rude." The eighth grandfather shook his head and said: "I already know about this. General Xie is still looking for the murderer, and Jia Jun is only temporarily locked in prison. If the murderer is caught, he will naturally be released." her."

"Then if the murderer can't be caught, how long will Aunt Jun be imprisoned? What if the case is wronged..." Zhiqing was impatient and didn't stop her mouth.

"Qing'er, don't talk nonsense!" Xie Qichen, who was in charge of the case, was present, and Zhiqing was not afraid to offend the official authority by speaking like this.Eight times reprimanded Zhiqing, and said to Xie Qichen: "Zhiqing's words are useless, please forgive me, General."

Xie Qichen is not a stingy person, but being questioned by a little girl is really embarrassing.But Zhiqing was kind to him in saving his life, so he didn't care about some small things. "It's okay, the old gentleman is too polite."

Being scolded by grandpa because of Xie Qichen, Zhiqing felt awkward in her heart.Seeing that he was so bored and didn't intend to leave, he had to stand up by himself, "General Xie, I won't bother you."

She walked out of the backyard quickly, but saw Mulan coming in, followed by Duo Lun.Mulan came to Grandpa Eight to talk about her mother, but seeing Zhiqing now, she didn't care to say anything, knowing that Grandpa Eight was in the back pavilion, she walked in.

Duo Lun looked at Zhiqing, none of them spoke.Zhiqing stood there with her head down, she could hear the voices of Mulan and Xie Qichen inside.

"Zhiqing, I..." Duo Lun hesitated to speak.

Zhiqing quickly raised her head and said, "Come to my yard, General Xie is here, this is not a place to talk."

Taking Duo Lun to her small yard, the two sat on the stone bench under the plane tree, Zhiqing kept staring at Duo Lun.He sent someone to steal the pyrite before, could Si Niang's death have something to do with him this time?

Duo Lun noticed Zhi Qing's eyes, frowned, and said unwillingly: "You look at me like that, it's too scary! I swear to God, Si Niang's death has absolutely nothing to do with me."

"I haven't asked yet, why are you rushing to explain?" Although she felt that Duo Lun would not lie to her, she always felt that he came to Wufeng Valley for other reasons, purely for the purpose of destroying the relationship, Jin Canzi did not Will make such a fuss.

Duo Lun smiled sullenly, "If I don't explain, in your heart, I will become a complete villain."

"If you don't do bad things, you are not a bad person." Zhiqing looked at Duo Lun, he was always kind, but this time he really hurt someone. "You have to know that because of you, Mulan and Master Hua almost died."

"I know." A trace of guilt flashed in Duo Lun's eyes, he looked up at the sky and sighed, "I always thought that women in the Central Plains were weak and needed protection, but I didn't expect Mulan to be so brave, because of the pyrite incident, I am also very sorry.”

"Then are you going to stop?" Zhiqing asked.

"I can only tell you that I will not take any action on Heqintu for the time being. I have other things to do in the Valley of the Five Phoenixes."

"Now that General Xie is investigating Si Niang's case, he will definitely step up his precautions. You should be more careful and don't show your feet."

Hearing what Zhiqing said, Duo Lun immediately laughed again, "I just said, you still care about me~"

Zhiqing looked at him speechlessly, this guy changed his face really fast, and just now he looked regretful for doing something bad.Just as she was about to refute, she saw someone walking outside.She quickly asked Duo Lun to stand up, "Let's go, Xie Qichen is here."

Duo Lun was also surprised, "He came to see you?"

Zhiqing shook her head, Duo Lun didn't say any more, and got up to leave.He passed by Xie Qichen at the gate of the courtyard, and Xie Qichen gave Duo Lun a strange look.

Xie Qichen asked the soldiers to guard the door, and walked up to Zhiqing, "You know General Mo?"

Zhiqing nodded, "He knows many people, we all know Mulan, Poria, Spring Silk and Perilla." She smiled slightly, "General Xie, please sit down, what do you want me for?"

Sitting on the stone bench, Xie Qichen didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly, "I have already told the old man that I hope you will also come to Jinxiu Villa to participate in weaving and kissing pictures."

Zhiqing shook her head, "General Xie, I have no intention of participating, please forgive me."

Xie Qichen frowned, puzzled and said: "Every embroidered woman in the Valley of the Five Phoenixes is willing to weave peace pictures and serve the country, why are you the only one who is not willing?"

"General Xie is right. There are weaving girls and embroidered mothers in the Five Phoenix Valley, and Zhiqing is not the only one. Zhiqing is not skilled and cannot contribute to the marriage plan. Please don't blame the general."

"Your embroidery skills will never be inferior to Mulan, so there is no need to be humble." Xie Qichen said, standing up, he looked directly at Zhiqing, with deep eyes that no one could refuse, "Tomorrow, I will send someone to pick you up To Jinxiu Villa."

Zhiqing couldn't help snorting coldly in her heart, is he asking for help?He is so tough, it is abominable!She shook her head and said: "Aunt Jun is still in prison, but General Xie insisted on letting her weave the picture despite Mulan's pleading. Isn't it too unkind? Is General Xie also forcing me to weave the picture? Zhiqing would rather die No, unless you kill me!"

"You..." Xie Qichen was irritated by Zhiqing's few words, the anger in his eyes was like a ball of fire, and people couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.But Zhiqing still looked at him, not to be outdone.

Xie Qichen clenched his fist, shook his hand, and strode away from Zhiqing's yard.Before leaving, Xie Qichen looked back, this Luoshen Manor is so majestic, why is there such an unreasonable woman!

The author has something to say: It's a bit late for the word count today, but I finally finished another chapter!Wu Ti will come to Wufeng Valley soon, and I'm still thinking, don't make the scene too chaotic!Regarding the current writing, I can only say that although Duo Lun and Wu Ti are good, I still feel the most about the general as I write...
