After the carriage walked for a while, Qi Ping opened the curtain again, and there was another scene outside, the green wheat fields stretched as far as the eye could see, and the busy farmers in the fields stopped what they were doing and knelt down one by one when they saw the imperial carriage passing by. in the fields.

This is the first time Qi Zhi has seen such a scene, he poked his head out of the window with great interest, and looked at the rolling hills and patches of green wheat fields in the distance, and the young general who rode his horse and followed him clasped his fists and bowed down. He leaned down and came to the window, thinking that Qi Zhi had some orders.

Tucking the blown hair behind his ears, Qi Ting smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, General, I'm just looking at the vast scenery, and I'm a little lost in thought."

The young general was in his early twenties, wearing a shiny silver armor, with a streak of red tassels on his helmet. He glanced outside at the rice fields and saw nothing else. He couldn't figure out what could attract this man. The princess, seeing that Qi Ping's eyes were sincere and didn't mean to tell lies at all, clasped her fists and pulled the reins and walked to the back of the carriage to give Qi Ping a better view of the scenery.

This official road has always been specially built for royal worship. For more than 100 years, it has been built into a width that can accommodate three carriages. The stone bricks are laid flat, and the road is very smooth with few bumps.Tired of looking at the scenery outside the window, Qi Zhi would sit in the carriage for a rest, enjoy the scenery and chat with Shang'er along the way, the time passed very quickly.

The scenery outside the window is sometimes desolate and sometimes full of vitality. Passing by a big river, I saw men and women all barefoot, with a big net hanging beside them. Don’t think too much, these are the fishing you saw in the book.Although you have read the world's books and talked about all the world's affairs, if you can't see it with your own eyes and walk through it in person, then even reading the world's books is nothing more than talking on paper.

Qi Ping looked happily, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the town where he stayed on the first day. The officials in the city were waiting early to welcome him along the road outside the city gate. Because of the main official road, although it is a small town with less than [-] people, it is full of traffic. It's so lively. There are business carriages passing by every day. A few days ago, I learned that the Empress is coming again. Since then, the city gate has stepped up inspections to prevent any suspicious person from entering the city.

Since the city has been doing business with caravans for many years, the taverns and accommodations are quite prosperous, and several of the best inns have been vacated, allowing the accompanying officials to rest temporarily, while most of the soldiers set up camp outside the city.

The county master is a thin old man, Xu Shi has been guarding outside the city since early in the morning, when he saw the empress' dragon rushing towards him, his steps were a little stiff.

The carriage drove along the main road all the way into the city gate. The guards on both sides of the road built a human wall to keep the people out. The two sides were crowded. All the people wanted to see the demeanor of the current empress.Although this is the only place where the palace was built in the short distance of more than 100 miles from the capital to the imperial mausoleum, the previous two ancestor worship Qi Xiao went to other places halfway and did not come here.

The last time I came here was when Qi Xiao was just eight years old when he was enthroned. The people who were lucky enough to see the young Empress would recall with intoxicated faces every time they mentioned it: "Although the Empress is young, she is as powerful as a dragon descending from heaven. style."

The carriage in front is clearing the way, the canopy shakes the doula at the back, followed by Qi Xiao's Long Chu and Qi Ping's carriages, Qi Ping sitting in the carriage heard the sound of silk, bamboo, gongs and people outside, and opened the curtain curiously I saw people kneeling down on the side of the road, their faces full of reverence and anticipation, and a sharp-eyed person saw half of Qi Zhi's face, and immediately exclaimed: "It's the princess! The princess is a thousand years old!"

Then the continuous voices of Princess Chitose and His Majesty's Long Live, scared Qi Zhe and hurriedly put down the curtain and sat back in the car.

After about a cup of tea, the carriage stopped in front of a big mansion. Although it was not as majestic and majestic as the imperial palace in the capital, compared to this small county town, it was extremely prosperous.

As soon as Qi Xiao was helped out of the carriage, the elder who followed all the way immediately brought the officials around him to kowtow to him, while the surrounding people were blocked a hundred paces away.

Although Qi Bao was a princess, it was the first time she received this kind of courtesy, standing a few steps away from Qi Xiao.

The old man here spoke a grandiose welcome, but there was a commotion in the crowd, and a woman with disheveled hair bent her waist and held a child in her hand, turning in through the gap of the guards, and shouted: "Heaven is above, the emperor will make the decision for me."

The guards were thrown into confusion, and a few burly men hurried up and pressed the woman to the ground, and the child in her arms cried out.The old man's face became embarrassing, and he said sharply: "What's going on, the bold girl dared to disturb Shengjia, drag her out quickly."

The screaming of the woman and the crying of the child made the people behind her talk a lot, and the old man's expression became even more embarrassing. Although the guards obeyed orders, they couldn't do anything to a woman who was powerless, so they could only think of ways to get her out of the way. When she was carried out, the woman shrank on the ground and could not move an inch, allowing the guards' fists and feet to hit her on the back.

"Your Majesty!" the woman shouted hoarsely, "My family's husband died tragically at the hands of thieves! He will not die with peace! You decide for me!"

The woman over there finally couldn't bear it and relaxed a little. The guards took this opportunity to hold her arms and drag her all the way into the crowd. The woman continued to struggle but was unable to do what she wanted. Surprised, she turned her head and saw Qi Xiao just squinted and looked at all this coldly.

The surrounding people voluntarily let the guards drag the woman over. Suddenly, the woman gained strength again, broke free from the restraints and stumbled towards Qi Xiao. The guards were shocked and finally lost their patience. Looking back, he grabbed the woman's long hair and brought her to the ground, dragging her back the same way. The woman's legs could only struggle feebly like fish swimming on the shore.

"Tell me, what grievance do you have?"

There was no sound that made the whole street instantly silent, and the hearts of the officials who had just taken a breath were suddenly lifted, while the guard who was pulling the woman's hair looked at each other and didn't know what to do. , living on the streets, just because my husband was framed by others."

Qi Xiaolin took a look, raised her head slightly and said, "Come here."

Seeing this, the guard hurriedly pushed the woman down in front of Qi Xiao. The woman's hair was scattered and covered with a layer of loess on the road, and her messy hair was knotted together. The child in her arms was about two years old. The crying stopped She turned her dark eyes and looked up at Qi Xiao.

"Who is your husband? What kind of grievances have you suffered?"

The woman lowered her head, sighed, and said: "My family's husband is full of reading and poetry, and he is dedicated to serving the country. He only wants to serve the country with his own body, but he doesn't want to suffer innocent injustice and die of injustice."

Qi Xiao's face sank, and she looked at the woman dressed as a village woman: "Injustice?"

"The officials of the imperial court protect each other and form a private party, just because my family is honest and upright, but the name of a treasonous villain has been given to him in a different place. Your Majesty, do you think this is an injustice?"

Qi Xiao was silent for a while, and asked, "Who are you?"

Qi Ping, who was standing by the side, could hear the wavering from the short three words, and turned his head worriedly. Qi Xiao's face was still unshakable, suspicious of his own carelessness, and the woman actually laughed when she heard her: " I am a village woman, and I only seek justice for my husband."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zhe noticed that the woman's smile became weird. The right hand holding the child moved slowly, and finally with a quick twitch, a shining bayonet was revealed. The guards behind him didn't notice this. He broke free from the bondage suddenly, and stabbed at Qi Xiao with a loud cry.

The woman's face was ferocious and there was still a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth, and the sword's eyes were like a ghost that took people's lives. All this happened in the snap of a finger, and everyone present had no time to react. Qi Xiao had already made preparations to move back, not wanting to return Without spreading it out, a figure pressed heavily in front of him.

The figure pushed Qi Xiao aside, the woman stabbed in the air, and hurriedly turned around to make the second sword. Before she could raise her hand, a dark dart shot the back of the woman's sword-holding hand, and the dagger fell to the ground. At this moment, Wei Chiyu had already Rushing here, he raised his hand and stabbed at the woman.

At this moment, Qi Xiao finally saw the figure clearly, it was Qi Ji with a face of panic, the two of them looked at each other for a moment, and saw many complicated emotions in each other's eyes.Qi Zhi saw puzzlement and surprise, while Qi Xiao saw concern and tension.

The woman over there turned around and turned her back to the stabbing long sword to protect the child in her arms. The sword pierced straight through her shoulder blade, and when she was about to pull it out to give her a good time, Qi Xiao ordered: "Stop!" .”

Wei Chiyu immediately withdrew his sword, and ordered the mother and daughter to be pressed to the ground, and a cloth belt was tied around the woman's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue, and they were not allowed to move again.

Qi Xiao looked coldly at the woman who was pinned down firmly on the ground, and said to Wei Chiyu: "I will arrive at Dahua Temple tomorrow, I don't want to see blood, so lock me up first, and I will interrogate myself later."

The atmosphere of the dinner held in the palace that night was extremely silent, and today's assassination made all the officials worry that they would lose their black hats, so they tried their best to please Qi Xiao with a smile.

And Qi Xiao made no secret of his bad mood, just sat down and drank wine, no one knew what was going on in his mind, and dismissed the toasts of those subordinates casually.

After finally getting through this period of time, the people present hurried home and wondered how many people in this city would not be able to sleep tonight.

After Qi Xiao got off the dinner, he rushed straight to the dungeon in the county seat without stopping, walked into the dark dungeon, and drove away everyone present, leaving only Wei Chiyu by his side, and saw the woman in a cage.

The dungeon was cold and damp, the ground was full of sewage, and the cage was covered with hay. The woman sat on the ground and leaned against the stone wall behind. Her shoulders had been simply bandaged, and the white bandage was stained with blood.

The light from the torches on both sides was flickering, Qi Xiao approached the cage, and the woman saw the appearance of the comer clearly, her numb expression became hideous, but the severe pain caused by a little movement made her unable to stand up, like It's a wounded beast.

Qi Xiao sat not far from the cage, watched all this, and when the woman finally gave up struggling there, she asked, "Who are you, do you know Li Li?"

The woman laughed again, but her eyes were fierce, "I didn't expect you, a fool, to remember him. Hmph, that's right, I am Li Li's wife, Tang Wanying."

Qi Xiao's face became gloomy: "I remember that he is not married, so why talk about wives and daughters?"

"He and I have been childhood sweethearts since we were young, and we have long been destined for life." Speaking of these, Tang Wanying's eyes finally softened, "Although they haven't been officially married yet, they are already husband and wife."

Calculating from the time, Li Li's beheading was three years ago, and the child in his hand happened to be two years old, which was in line with her statement.

"If you, the dog emperor, were not stupid and incompetent and listened to slander, how could our mother and daughter have ended up like this!"

"Bold and unreasonable, how dare you speak insultingly!" Wei Chiyu couldn't hold back when he heard that this woman was left with a foolish emperor and a dog emperor.

Qi Xiao raised his hand to let Wei Chiyu calm down first, and said coldly to Tang Wanying: "Then that child is Li Li's only bloodline? You ruined his only heir."

Tang Wanying struggled to get up, grabbed the wooden door of the cell and shouted, "What did you do to Mo'er! Give Mo'er back to me!"

"Are you worried now?" Qi Xiao walked to the wooden door and stood a few feet away from her provocatively, "You should know that you will die if you take her to assassinate me, do you think you hurt me with your little trick? Overwhelmed."

Tang Wanying reached out her hand to grab Qi Xiao's dragon robe, but she couldn't reach it. She gritted her teeth and said, "I never thought I could go back alive, but the child will suffer forever without a father or mother. Why don't we let her go with me? It’s also good to be reunited with her father in Yincao Difu.”

Turning around and sitting on the chair, Qi Xiao looked at Tang Wanying in the cage without saying a word, after a moment of silence, Tang Wanying said: "Let me see Mo'er one last time, be it dead or alive, let me take one last look at her. "

Qi Xiao didn't answer the conversation, but still looked at her thinking about something, Tang Wanying was stunned, she turned her face away and said, "Forget it, anyway, we will meet each other on the road to hell."

"Li Li did die in response to me." Qi Xiao said slowly, "If I pardon you from death this time, it can be regarded as leaving blood for him."

Tang Wanying raised her head in disbelief, opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, Qi Xiao continued: "It's just that capital crimes can be avoided and life crimes cannot be escaped. I will send someone to send you to Jingxuan Temple to become a nun tomorrow. As a companion, I will entrust someone to take care of your daughter, if there is fate, someday you will be able to recognize each other as mother and daughter."

"Are you not afraid that I will kill you again?"

"There are countless people who want my life, and I'm not afraid of one more you." Qi Xiao got up and was about to leave, when she suddenly turned around and asked, "Mo'er? Is it Li Mo?"

"Don't forget the blood feud!"

"Haha." Qi Xiao laughed, "Good name, don't forget blood feud, don't forget kindness."
