"My lord, my subordinates have not found the person you mentioned, maybe she is not in Jizhou City."

Just as the brocade-clothed son looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, a man in black quietly walked in from outside the courtyard. He knelt down on one knee and reported to the brocade-clothed son.

More than a month ago, King Qinghe was attacked by bandits in Yuzhou City. After being slashed by the bandit, he accidentally fell off a cliff, and even passed out in a coma.

After hurting his head, King Qinghe could see everything blurry. He could only see an outline of everything, and he couldn't see the rest clearly.

Later, a woman in a green dress would often come to bring him water and food. The King of Qinghe was on guard at the beginning, afraid that she might have bad intentions, but the other party was gentle and didn’t ask much. What, this time, King Qinghe thought that this young woman was a mute. The woman in Tsing Yi took good care of King Qinghe, and his guard was slowly relieved. King Qinghe's injury slowly improved under the care of the other party. .

But probably because there is no doctor to diagnose and treat him, so his eyes are always blurry, and the young woman rarely speaks to him, every day like She usually came to take care of him on routine tasks. King Qinghe asked her many times, but the other party never told him his name.

And the more the other party didn't say anything, the more King Qinghe cared about it. You must know that because of her dignity, the women that King Qinghe once met, as long as they met him, all of them would not want to be with him. Showing their gentleness, virtuousness and obedience in front of them, but also for fear that the King of Qinghe would not know who they are, one by one would like to put their names on the top of their heads, in the hope that King Qinghe can take a fancy to them, even if they can't be Mrs. Wang, they can enter. In his backyard, he can reach the sky in one step.

But this young woman didn't say anything to him, as if she treated him like an ordinary person.

This experience is very new to King Qinghe. After all, his status is different. Even if the other party doesn't know who he is, his clothes are far from ordinary people. His appearance is even more outstanding. Anyone who looks at him knows that he is not an ordinary person, but this young woman has never asked his identity from beginning to end, and the other party is also very careful, never accidentally revealing her identity in front of him, This made the Qinghe King's favor towards women continue to rise.

At that time, King Qinghe was still thinking that if his eyes could return to normal, then he could see what the other person looked like. As long as he knew what she looked like, it would be easy to find her.

After several attempts, he still did not know the name of the other party. In the end, King Qinghe had no choice but to sneak off the jade pendant on the other party's body, and then replaced the other party with the jade pendant he carried with him. The jade pendants of the two of them are somewhat similar, but they are still very different if you look closely.

The King of Qinghe thought that it would be okay if the young woman never wanted to tell him her identity, and he could still recognize the other person with this jade pendant in the future.

However, just when King Qinghe was expecting her eyes to recover and see the other's face, the young woman suddenly rushed to the firewood room and said that she was going to leave here and return to Jizhou City.

"My son, I shouldn't be able to come over to take care of you in the future. From what you look like now, your body should have almost recovered. After I leave, you can find it in the temple. Help the masters, I can't help you any more."

This is the first time that the other party has said such a long thing. Seeing that the parting is imminent, King Qinghe wants the other party to tell her name, but until this time, the young woman still refuses to say her name.

Leave it alone."

In the end, the young woman didn't tell him her identity and left in such a hurry.

At first, King Qinghe thought that the other party might come back, but she still did not come back until the evening. King Qinghe could only find the monks in the temple for help.

After some twists and turns, the subordinates of King Qinghe finally found him, and after the doctor's treatment, his eyes also regained their brightness.

At this time, King Qinghe also knew that the place where he lived at that time was the firewood house provided by the temple near the residence of the pilgrims. During that time, there were many pilgrims living in the temple, and he could not check it at all. Who is that woman who came out.

The King of Qinghe only knew that the other party was going to Jizhou City, and he didn't know anything about the rest. After his injury was healed, he quickly rushed to Jizhou City, but Qinghe Later, he knew nothing about the identity of the other party. He only knew that she was a very young woman. She was unmarried and had a gentle temperament, but he had no idea what the other party looked like and where her home was. To find an unknown woman in this huge city of Jizhou is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The subordinates sent by the King of Qinghe spent nearly half a month looking for it, but they still had no clue, and he Panheng has been in this Jizhou city for half a month, he can't stay here any longer .

"Your Highness, the capital is still waiting for you. The emperor's birthday is coming soon. If you don't set off again, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time."

The King of Qinghe set off from his own fief to the capital at that time, because he was afraid that something would delay the time on the road, he set off half a year in advance, so that he would have two months to come to the capital prepare.

But no one thought that King Qinghe would be attacked in Yuzhou City, and he had been delayed for a month while resting with Yuzhou City, and after arriving in Jizhou City, he was delayed for another half. In a month's time, even if they rush to the capital from now on, there will only be half a month of preparation time left when they arrive at the land.

The subordinates do not know why the King of Qinghe insists on looking for the woman who does not know the appearance and name, but compared to looking for the woman, the emperor's birthday banquet is more important, if King Qinghe goes too late , I am afraid he will be impeached by other ministers.

The Qinghe Dynasty waved to the other party and signaled the subordinate to retreat. Sitting upright on the stone bench, he took out the jade pendant he had taken from the woman in Tsing Yi. He gently groped for the jade pendant, and the voice of the woman in Tsing Yi seemed to be heard again in his ears.

The other party was completely different from the woman he had seen, and she saved his own life, which made King Qinghe's feelings for her very complicated. He actually didn't know why he was so persistent in finding The other party, but if he never sees that woman, he will feel as if there is an empty space in his heart.

"Who are you? Why didn't you tell me your name?"

The King of Qinghe said in a low voice, took the piece of jade in his hand, and then closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

The emperor's son will also be punished.

It seems that this time he has no way to find the other party. King Qinghe is not the kind of sticky person. After confirming that there is no way to find someone for the time being, he immediately ordered to go down and set off for the capital.

Anyway, Jizhou City is here. If he can't find it this time, he can continue to look for it after the birthday banquet. Since the woman said she was going to Jizhou City, then as long as he is patient If you look here, you will definitely find each other.

No matter if he goes to heaven or earth, he always wants to find that woman. The existence of the other party has become the obsession of King Qinghe, and he must take a good look at what that woman looks like.

"Sister, are you all right?"

Qifeng is a standard landlubber, this is her first time to travel by boat, and the cabin that Boss Cai arranged for them is not good, the cabin is small and dark, and it exudes an indescribable smell , which made Qi Feng feel very uncomfortable.

Qifeng hadn't eaten much since she got on the boat, but she was still so disgusted by the swaying boat.

Qi Feng retched just now, lying weakly on the bed at this time, after hearing Qi Li's words, she reluctantly raised her head and showed a weak smile towards Qi Li.

"Aran, I'm fine, but I'm just a little uncomfortable on the boat. I'll get used to it after a while."

However, even so, as the boat swayed gently, Qi Feng's face became pale again, and then he lay on the bedside and retched, Qi Li patted Qi lightly Feng's back quietly pressed a few acupoints on her body.

It's just that Qi Feng's physique is too poor, and she has been working hard for more than a month, and her body is much worse than before. Where can Qi Yan press a few acupoints to make her better over here?

After retching for a while, Qi Feng's body was already tense to the extreme. She closed her eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep. After covering it up, looking at the sleepy Qi Feng, Qi Li sighed, pushed open the cabin door and walked out.

Qi Li's room is next to Qi Feng, his room layout is similar to Qi Feng's room layout, there is nothing but a bed.

In fact, this is not to say that Boss Cai is deliberately treating the two of them harshly, it is because they are on a merchant ship, and the rooms on the merchant ship are similar, even if the room where Boss Cai lives is only There is one more table and a few more stools than them.

Qi Liang's ability to adapt is very strong, such a small swing of the merchant ship is nothing to him, Qi Li quickly walked to the deck and looked into the distance.

They had been driving on the river for a day, and the orange sunset reflected in the sky, dyeing the distant sky orange.

Qi Li stood in the twilight, and even his body seemed to be stained with a faint orange light.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind him, Qi Li looked back, and saw the chubby Boss Cai walking towards him with a smile.

"Young Master Qi, this should be your first time on a boat. Your ability to adapt is very good, unlike your sister..."

After saying that, Boss Cai paused for a while, and then continued: "I didn't think much about it, I just asked the boatman to stew some motion sickness medicine, and you can bring it to Miss Qi later, seasickness. It's not a good thing."

Qi Lululuo generously thanked: "Thank you Boss Cai for your kindness, I'm here to thank you for my sister."

Boss Cai waved his hand and said, "It's just a little effort, it's okay."

"Mr. Qi, Qi's family is also a big family in Jizhou City. I don't know what happened to you and Miss Qi? How did you get to this point?"

Boss Cai is really curious about this. You must know that although Qi Li's speech is not like an ordinary person, there are thousands of liars in this world, and there are not only liars who can pretend to be everyone's sons.

Small traders like him have never dealt with the Qi family in the past. You must know that the Qi family is a royal businessman. How could the young lady of the Qi family run away like a beggar? How absurd this is, that's why Boss Cai asked this question.

Qi Li sighed and said slowly, "I didn't want to mention this. Since Boss Cai asked, I will tell Boss Cai why we are doing this."

How did Qi Li and Qi Feng go to Yuzhou City, Qi Li didn't say, just said that they went to their aunt's house as a guest, and the aunt's house was unfortunately destroyed by bandits, and they were lucky They escaped, but the mountain bandits pursued them desperately, and they had no choice but to flee in a hurry.

"We have never experienced these things before, so naturally we have no experience. When we fled, we were ransacked by thieves of silver and valuables..."

Without the silver taels and money, the servants naturally did not want to follow them. They were afraid that the bandits would kill them with them, so the servants abandoned them while they were sleeping.

After hearing what Qi Li said, Boss Cai sighed.

"If that's the case, why don't you find someone to send a letter to your home, so that someone at home will come to pick you up."

There is nothing wrong with the Qi family, they can find someone to send a letter to the Qi family, and then wait in place for someone from the Qi family to come and pick them up, why are they relying on themselves as if they are fleeing the desert Two legs to rush to Jizhou City?

How far is the journey from Yuzhou City to Jizhou City? Even if it takes a carriage, it will take a month. They walk on two legs. Are they going to the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

Actually, there is a reason why they didn't find someone to send the letter back. After all, when the Qi family sent Qi Li and Qi Feng out, they said the matter very seriously, and stated that If they don't send someone to pick them up, it means that the Qi family's matter has not been resolved.

"You two brothers and sisters are obedient and obedient at your aunt's house. Don't make trouble. If the matter on our side is resolved, we will definitely send someone to pick you up."

It took more than half a year for them to go. At first, the Qi family would write letters, but later there was no correspondence, and the Sun family in Yuzhou City did not know that the Qi family was out What happened, I just guess that the Qi family's situation may not be very good. After all, it is indeed a great honor to be a royal merchant to do things for the royal family, but once something goes wrong, the whole family will be implicated.

The attitude of the two of them became worse day by day.

For various reasons, they couldn't contact the Qi family, and they were afraid that they would cause trouble for their parents.

The two siblings, Qi Li and Qi Feng, have always been pampered and raised in the past. They have never encountered these things, how can they know how to deal with them? It is very good that they can take the four white-eyed wolves of the Sun family all the way to Zhangzhou City with their own abilities.

In fact, Qi Li knew that the Qi family had passed through the difficulties and nothing happened at this time, so he took the risk and rushed to Jizhou City with Qi Feng, otherwise he would probably choose other way to go back.

"Boss Cai, I'm not very old, and I haven't experienced anything before, so how do I know this? This time I dared to find Boss Cai, because Boss Cai has a good face and looks like he is doing good deeds. If someone else would not believe me, who would take us back?"

After a pause, Qi Li continued: "What's more, even if the other party believes me and my sister's identities, the Qi family in Jizhou City can be regarded as a respectable family, if they have malicious intentions , kidnapped me and my sister, won't we be more dangerous then?"

Qi Li complimented Boss Cai calmly, the chubby Boss Cai heard what Qi Li said, a smile suddenly burst on his face, he raised his hand and patted it hard He patted Qi Li's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Young Master Qi, you are too modest. If nothing else, your ability to recognize people is quite good."

"Where is it, where is my ability to know people better than Boss Cai?"

After some business exclamations, Boss Cai finally let go of his vigilance towards Qi Liang. It seemed that he had believed Qi Li's words and treated him more intimately than before. a lot.

You must know that Qi Li is likely to be the future owner of the Qi family, and have a good relationship with him.

As the two talked, the sky darkened, and at this time the merchant ship had already sailed into a reed field, and after passing through this reed field, it was a short while before the ferry of Lin'an County.

Qi Liang stood at the bow of the boat, and suddenly heard some subtle sounds, as if something was walking through the water.

"Boss Cai, there is something underwater."
