When he learned from the side that the little old man felt guilty because he had lost the rice paper on which the two poems were written, Zhao Qingpei really laughed to death.

At the same time, when Sheng Yingting heard the word rice paper, the first thing she thought of was the piece of rice paper that her son gave to Liu Qingqing at Wangjiang Tower.

Faced with Sheng Yingting's little expression, Zhao Qingpei saw through it without saying anything. He smiled and said nothing. He did not say that the piece of rice paper with the two lines of poems on it was taken away by him and given away.

Watching Zhu Qingshan working with a guilty look seemed to have a special flavor.

In just two days, Zhu Qingshan drove during the day and made fires and cooked at night. He rushed to do everything. When he was sleeping at night, he could vaguely hear the sound of Zhu Qingshan not far away, rubbing his waist and sighing softly.

Sheng Yingting couldn't bear it.

Sheng Yingting finally couldn't bear it anymore. She quietly came to Zhao Qingpei's side and confirmed softly.

"Sir, did you take the rice paper that the old gentleman mentioned and gave it to Miss Liu Qingqing?"

Zhao Qingpei showed a smile, then pursed his lips and nodded gently.

Seeing Zhao Qingpei's despicable look, Sheng Yingting smiled and spoke softly.

"Young Master, you are so evil."

Cui You, who was next to him, slowly closed his eyes - not looking.

——————

In seven days, Zhu Qingshan drove a carriage all the way south from Xiangyang City, and finally saw the first city - Liangcheng.

Liangcheng can almost be regarded as a city relying on the barbarian border.

Coming to Liangcheng already means that we are about to arrive in Changcheng.

It also means that he is getting closer to his brother Zhao Rui.

In 7 days, the dry food and food have been almost consumed. Zhao Qingpei is going to rest here for half a day and at the same time inquire about the latest news about his brother Zhao Rui.

Guests who want to inquire about gossip in the inn are the best.

Cui You and Zhu Qingshan were arranged by Zhao Qingpei to go out to buy some dry food and water.

Only Sheng Yingting and Zhao Qingpei ordered some dishes and sat in the inn, listening to the gossip of people coming and going.

After many people walked around and left, Zhao Qingpei finally heard some news about Zhao Rui in the corner of the inn.

"General Zhao is about to come into contact with the barbarians, but I heard that the supervisor has been urging Zhao Rui to attack. You said that so many snow dragons have been taken away, and you still have to take the initiative to welcome the barbarians' large forces. . Aren’t the supervisors of this Great Zhou all fools?”

"It's really brainless. A commander who doesn't know how to fight, and people who know how to fight go to fight. Is this reasonable? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense."

"What do you know? This is called the art of the emperor's mind, the art of restraint! I'm afraid that General Zhao will support himself at the border and deliberately weaken him. If this continues, it will be useless sooner or later. I feel that something is not right in the southern border that has not sent troops for so long. Peace."

"I have to leave here tomorrow. You said that if it wasn't extremely difficult to raise a family, who would think of leaving? Many people have left in Liangcheng recently, and I'm afraid there will be trouble here soon. "

"Okay, after finishing this meal, I have to go home and clean up."

This time Zhao Qingpei did not step forward to ask for details about his brother.

In just a few words, he got the news he wanted. At least in a short period of time, Zhao Rui was still able to fight against his brother who doubted him.

It's just that the supervisor must find a way to deal with him.

At this time, Liu Qi, Liu Xiu, and Tao Chi, who were perfectly separated from Zhao Qingpei, could only rush to Changcheng in the south to wait for Zhao Qingpei through intelligence.

"Master, all the dry food has been prepared and we are ready to set off."

"Let's go."

As soon as they stepped onto the street, groups of soldiers were walking quickly in the street holding swords, guns and swords.

This scene made Zhu Qingshan feel something was wrong.

"City patrol?"

Zhu Qingshan seemed to have thought of something after murmuring.

"We have to leave Liangcheng as soon as possible. Patrolling the city usually means something big has happened and the city needs to be closed down."

Lockdown?

Zhao Qingpei frowned.

"We have to get out of here quickly, get in the car."

It's just a place to sit and rest, so you definitely can't waste too much time here.

Once delayed, it is likely to affect the fate of his brother Zhao Rui.

"Master..."

After taking only two steps, I found that the entire Liangcheng gate had been closed, and about a dozen soldiers were guarding the door with weapons.

A barricade cut from wooden piles stood in front.

A large number of Liangcheng people gathered at the door and communicated anxiously.

"What have you discovered? I'm just competing to buy some dry food and water. Your son and wife are still waiting for me outside the city! Can you be accommodating, sir?"

The man in ragged clothes grabbed the soldier's hand and begged for mercy.

The soldier wearing armor drew his sword from his waist.

choke!

The sound of the sword being unsheathed made everyone around him take a step back.

"Why is the city closed when it's not even curfew?"

"Yes! Yes!"

"Let us out!"

"We need to get out!"

Zhao Qingpei had already realized that something was wrong.

These soldiers didn't even explain the situation.

"Everyone takes half a step back, otherwise we will kill you!"

A man wearing different armor than the surrounding soldiers stepped forward and shouted a warning.

But faced with the man's warning, the people around him obviously didn't take it to heart. It wasn't until the man took out the long sword in his hand and slashed it on a civilian's shoulder, and blood spattered that other people realized that this was a real joke. of.

The person lying in a pool of blood is the best example.

At this moment everyone stepped back.

His arrogance was no longer as tough as before, and some people began to ask questions.

"At the very least, Fengcheng has to tell us what happened, right?"

"There are barbarians in the city! Now we need to impose martial law and conduct an investigation."

This explanation caused everyone to start whispering and discussing.

Inside the carriage.

Zhu Qingshan lifted the carriage curtain and walked into the carriage, asking Zhao Qingpei.

"Sir, I can't get out for the moment. Do I need to force my way in or..."

Forcibly charging the card is likely to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, but time cannot be lost.

"Do you care enough about your face?"

Zhao Qingpei spoke to Zhu Qingshan.

Sheng Yingting on the side also echoed.

"If it's an old gentleman, there should be no problem in coming forward."

Hearing Sheng Yingting's praise, Zhu Qingshan subconsciously stretched out his hand to stroke his white beard, with a proud smile on his face.

Zhao Qingpei knew that this old guy was doing his old habits again.

"Go and meet the Lord of Liangcheng."

Zhu Qingshan nodded and started driving back towards the city lord's mansion.

The city wall guard saw Zhao Qingpei's leaving carriage, turned around and said something to the men next to him.

The soldier nodded and left immediately.
