The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

A few days later, Wu Miao's team returned to Beijing.

Honglu Si Qing did not even return home, and went directly to the palace to face the saint.

"Ma Aiqing stayed in Wumiao for a few months, how is the situation there?" After a few days, Emperor Jing Ming still did not recover much. Spirit.

The minister of Honglu Temple didn't know about the Crown Prince yet, so he was taken aback when he saw Emperor Jing Ming's old and tired appearance, so he chose interesting stories from the south to tell Emperor Jing Ming.

The more Emperor Jing Ming listened, the darker his face became.

Co-authoring him to send these people to Wumiao just to let them play?

Thinking about the darkness during this period of time, and then looking at Honglu Siqing, who was beaming with excitement, Emperor Jing Ming had the urge to smash the paperweight into the other person's face.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Pan Hai coughed softly.

Honglu Siqing glanced at Pan Hai from the corner of his eye, and was shocked when he saw that Pan Hai was indiscernible and shook his head.

Oops, I wanted to make the emperor happy, but I didn't expect the flattery to hit the horse's leg.

Having said that, I haven't seen you for more than half a year. How can the emperor get so old?

No, when he entered the palace all the way, the whole palace was eerily quiet, it was really wrong.

Honglu Siqing secretly made up his mind, and immediately after leaving the palace, he inquired about the current situation in the capital.

Could it be that he has only been away from Beijing for half a year, so he can't keep up?

Seeing the lowering of the Honglu Siqing's voice, Emperor Jingming was slightly relieved and asked, "How does Wumiao treat you?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the Wu Miao people are very polite to the ministers, and they are not neglected in the reception..."

Emperor Jingming listened to Honglu Siqing's speech for more than half an hour, but did not hear any valuable information.

The minister of Honglu Temple secretly breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands: "Wei Chen retire."

After Honglu Temple retired, Emperor Jing Ming immediately said to Pan Hai: "Later, you can go to Kunning Palace and ask the Queen to summon Princess Yan. I have something to explain to her."

Pan Hai responded immediately.

"Call Han Ran in."

This time, Wu Miao, Honglu Siqing and others were placed on the bright side, and Jinlinwei was also among them, which was convenient for secret investigation.

Not long after, Han Ran walked in with a subordinate who was the leader of the Jinlin Guard who led the team to Wumiao.

"Wei Chen has seen the emperor."

Emperor Jing Ming moved his brows and said lightly, "No need to be too polite. Did you find Elder Hua's grandparents in Wumiao?"

Elder Hua, who had opened a small shop in the capital for more than ten years, escaped from the imperial prison, making Emperor Jing Ming unable to relax.

Han Ran's subordinate replied: "Reporting to the emperor, the ministers did not find the traces of Elder Hua's ancestors and grandsons in Wumiao."

Emperor Jing Ming frowned.

There are only two possibilities that the ancestors and grandsons of Hua Elder have not been found. One is that the Wumiao people are well aware of what Elder Hua and these people have done in the capital, and they hid the ancestors and grandchildren of Hua Elder when they saw the visit of the Dazhou envoys. The elders and grandchildren are still in Da Zhou.

No matter what kind of possibility, it can't make him feel better.

"Is there anything unusual on Wumiao's side?" Emperor Jing Ming was a little frustrated when he asked this sentence.

Why do many things become confusing as soon as they get on the black seedlings? He dispatched Jinlinwei to go to Wumiao to investigate with the envoy team. Can it really be fruitful?

Emperor Jing Ming did not hold out hope, but the answer from Han Ran's subordinates gave him a surprise.

"Reporting to the emperor, I have been waiting in Wumiao for several months, just in time for Wumiao's three-yearly festival to worship the gods. As a result, the Wumiao saint did not show up."

Emperor Jing Ming raised his eyebrows.

Wumiao is adjacent to Dazhou and holds mysterious power. Emperor Jing Ming has long understood some customs of Wumiao.

The three-year sacrifice to the gods is a very grand event in Wumiao. The elder Wumiao has always presided over the ceremony, and the saints are the sacrificers.

It was indeed a big anomaly that the Holy Maiden did not show up on such a solemn occasion.

"go on."

Han Ran's subordinate continued: "Because the Holy Maiden did not show up at the ceremony of worshiping the gods, many Wumiao people seemed to be very uneasy, and Wei Chen accidentally bumped into an elder arguing with another elder, and asked why the Holy Maiden had not seen her for several years in seclusion. people……"

"so,

Umiao Saintess did not show up, making Umiao uneasy? "

Han Ran's subordinate nodded: "That's right. Although the elders of Wumiao tried their best to cover up because the minister was waiting there, the unease seemed to spread, and the minister could clearly feel the anxiety of the Wumiao people, and even Some people got together and clamored to see the saint."

"Have you found out when Saintess Wumiao didn't show up?"

"From the mouth of a Wumiao girl, I heard that the Wumiao saint has not shown up for at least three years."

"What about other anomalies?"

Han Ran's subordinates shook their heads: "Wei Chen is stupid and didn't notice other abnormalities."

Emperor Jing Ming smiled: "You have done a good job. Han Ran, this time is a good candidate."

Han Ran hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wrong, and it happens that he knows some Ukrainian and Miao languages..."

If you want to be a good spy, only brute force is not enough, and knowledge can't be relaxed. It's worthwhile for him to choose a group of smart young people in the past two years to learn foreign languages ​​with the people of Honglu Temple, which finally came in handy. day.

Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Emperor Jing Ming nodded slightly.

Han Ran's subordinates hurriedly retreated.

Emperor Jing Ming looked at Pan Hai and Han Ran and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

Pan Hai and Han Ran looked at each other.

After a while, Han Ran opened his mouth and said, "Wei Chen thinks that Saintess Wumiao is in a situation, otherwise there is no reason not to show up for such an important event as offering sacrifices to the gods."

The status of the Holy Maiden Wumiao in Wumiao is equivalent to that of the Prince of Dazhou, or even more important. The saint's delay in showing up will not only cause the people to be uneasy, but also attract the coveting of other races.

"How many of our people are there?" Emperor Jing Ming asked again.

Han Ran hurriedly said: "Leaving the six people, but they all turned into ordinary traders and never showed up from the beginning."

The Wumiao people are in a group, and the population is small, if outsiders appear in their territory, it will be very eye-catching, and it is impossible to hide it. The best way is to disguise as a border citizen, so that you can have the opportunity to deal with each other.

"Let them keep an eye on Wumiao's side, especially about the matter of the Wumiao Saintess, and report any situation as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Emperor Jing Ming rubbed his eyebrows: "Pan Hai, go to Kunning Palace."

Pan Hai went to Kunning Palace and told the queen that the emperor wanted to see Princess Yan.

The queen was slightly startled, and nodded in response.

Princess Yan is no better than all the princes. The emperor's summoning is too conspicuous. Naturally, it is more convenient to go through her.

Jiang Si soon received the queen's summons.

Yu Jin was a little unhappy: "What did Queen Hao Duan call you for?"

The place in the palace has been windy and rainy recently, and he didn't want Ashdo to go there.

Jiang Si smiled: "You'll know when you go. Don't be shy, the queen wants to see me, can you push me?"

Yu Jin's thin lips pursed lightly, and muttered, "There is the queen on top of the prince, and the queen and the emperor on top of the queen. It's really embarrassing to think about."
