Happy Dragon Boat Festival

~~~~~~~

Li Wei, the nine-door admiral, arrived soon.

Seeing him coming obediently, Banzai let out a breath.

"...The general's wife disappeared on the night of Shangyuan Festival. I was ordered by General Shen to search for her secretly." Feeling that Long Live's tone was unusual, Li Wei answered with trepidation.

Wan Zai was surprised, "Mrs. Shen is missing?!"

Levi responded, "I've been missing for four days."

It turned out that when they heard that Zhen Shiniang had returned to Wutong Town overnight, Guo Xiu and Chi Jiwei chased her back at dawn. When they didn't see Zhen Shiniang, Ji Huaifeng panicked and left Sun Qingliang to protect Jian Wu Jianwen. He personally led people to search along the road. Zhen Shiniang was nowhere to be seen until he went to the capital. He wanted to enter the palace to deliver a message, but there was a palace coup. The palace was heavily guarded inside and outside, and all the badges and passwords had been changed. Ji Huaifeng was anxious and had no choice.

It wasn't until Shen Zhongqing left the palace and returned home and Rongsheng found him that he realized that Zhen Shiniang was indeed missing.

After recounting the story, Li Wei kowtowed and said, "...According to the order of the general, for a whole day and night, I secretly searched all the inns, teahouses, brothels, and private houses in the upper capital, but found nothing. I was worried that my wife would be kidnapped by Gu Fan's old troops. General Shen also ordered his ministers to set up checkpoints at the city gate for secret interrogation."

He mobilized troops privately, sealed off the city secretly, and turned Shangjing City upside down overnight. Shen Zhongqing was just looking for a woman!

After a false alarm, the veins on Long Zai's forehead bounced, and he punched the dragon case hard, this Shen Zhongqing!

Mobilizing troops and sealing off the city to find a woman was such a ridiculous thing that only Shen Zhongqing, a fierce star who was so upright and domineering that even he dared to contradict, dared to do such a ridiculous thing. He could do it!

Shen Zhongqing was well-known in the court for protecting his calves. Every time he won a battle, he would be rewarded based on his merits. If he was slightly negligent and missed any of his subordinates, he would slap the table and glare at him. Secondly, the most irritating thing is that his mother, Mrs. Shen, was a village girl. She was famous for being mean and scolding in high-class society. Even the concubines in the harem turned a deaf ear to him. He will turn his face with glare and fury.

Thinking of Shen Zhongqing's past misdeeds, Wan Zai's anger suddenly disappeared.

Shen Zhongqing had such a protective temper that he couldn't pull back the eight cows he set his sights on. If you get angry with him, you are asking for trouble.

I made some psychological achievements. Long live frowned again.

Does the fact that he can go to such great lengths to search mean that he has placed Zhen Shiniang under his sphere of influence, treating her as one of his own and becoming the object of protection under his wings?

Thinking of Shen Zhongqing's perverted defense of his own people, Wan Zai's face changed drastically.

He has seen Zhen Shiniang before, but she is no better than Mrs. Shen. She is just an ignorant village woman. No matter how rogue she is, she will not break out of the trap even if her bucket is broken. Zhen Shiniang is wise and smart. If Shen Zhongqing is controlled by her, ... Just as he was about to call someone, Zhen Shiniang's almost wise calmness in the side hall, facing the intimidation of Marquis Anqing, appeared in front of Long Live again... Such a woman who clearly knows what she wants, and only has two years left to live. , and two sons... She will never waste her time on unnecessary things!

Thinking of this, Wan Zai exhaled and his face became calm again.

It was the first time that he saw the face of Long Live, who had always been full of joy and anger, change several times in an instant. Levi's heart skipped a beat. "Long live..." He whispered, thinking about what he had just said in his mind. I filtered it again, secretly guessing which sentence touched Banzai.

"You go down..." Wan Zai waved his hand.

Eunuch Fu came in and came back, "...Mrs. Shen has returned to Wutong Town. Mrs. Shen entered the palace alone on orders."

Shen Zhongqing was extremely filial. No matter what, he would never abandon his mother. The fact that Mrs. Shen still stayed in the general's mansion showed that he did not want to rebel when he mobilized his troops privately.

At this point, Long Live has completely believed Li Wei's words. Shen Zhongqing mobilized Fenggu's army just to find Zhen Shiniang!

At this moment, Long Live I don’t know what to say.

Eunuch Fu was a little puzzled. He had been so busy recruiting Mrs. Shen into the palace, but why didn't he say anything at this time?

While he was wondering, the young eunuch came back and said, "Xiao Zhongtang and Mr. Zheng Ge are here."

Wan Zai waved his hand impatiently, "...let them all kneel down." Seeing Eunuch Fu still standing there, he ordered again, "...I have given you a verbal order to order General Shen to enter the palace to see Mrs. Shen immediately after he finds her. I!"

…

Zhen Shiniang didn't come back as scheduled, so she must have gone to Zhongtang Mansion.

Before leaving, her young lady said that she would look for a chance to see Mrs. Xiao when she went to the capital this time, and would stay for a few more days. I didn’t know that Zhen Shiniang was kicked out in the middle of the night, and she heard that Guo Xiu brought her back "Bad news", Magpie is not worried at all.

However, facing the General in front of her who had a cold and evil aura all over her body, she still felt worried for Zhen Shiniang, "...Why is the young lady so unlucky that the General took a gamble?" I don't know this. In two days of searching for Zhen Shiniang, Shen Zhongqing had already turned the entire capital upside down. When he saw him jumping off his horse in a rage, Magpie thought it was because her young lady was unlucky and secretly went to see Mrs. Xiao but she was not there. I rushed back before I suddenly came to my ancestral home.

"...Madam hasn't come back yet?" Shen Zhongqing suppressed the anxiety in his heart and searched around the yard.

"No...no..." She wanted to say that she was back, but facing this fierce man, Magpie really didn't have the guts to lie. She felt the air around her suddenly become colder. She shuddered and subconsciously explained, "When Mrs. Xiao... left, He said that he wanted to take this opportunity to go to the capital and find a few big hospitals to treat diseases..." Shen Zhongqing's stern eyes came over, and the magpie suddenly became stammering, "Madam Xu... Xu has gone... Which hospital delayed the return trip?"

Medical hall?

Shen Zhongqing's heart moved and he immediately rejected it. Even if she went to the hospital, it had been four days and she should be back. Li Wei didn't find Zhen Shiniang, so he came to the ancestral home with a glimmer of hope, expecting Zhen Shiniang to be like this. I just went to play somewhere for a few days, and now I'm back safely.

He didn't notice that Magpie's expression was one of fear, not restlessness. Hearing that Zhen Shiniang hadn't come back yet, Shen Zhongqing felt panic in his heart for no reason. He turned around and said, "Send a message to Admiral Li and ask him to pay attention to going to Beijing." Have you ever seen a doctor in any of the major hospitals?"

He knew it was a futile effort, but he would not let it go as long as there was a clue.

No matter what, he wants to see people in life and a corpse in death!

The out-of-control voice was like a wounded beast, and a violent aura instantly filled the entire yard.

With a plop, the cook Xu Fenglan fainted on the spot.

"Mrs. Jiren has his own destiny, nothing will happen. General, don't scare everyone." Seeing that everyone in the ancestral house was so frightened that their faces turned pale, Rong Sheng advised in a low voice, looking at the frightened magpie, "Magpie is still pregnant." Rong Sheng wondered if Shen Zhongqing would give birth prematurely if she roared like this again.

When he came back to his senses, even Shen Zhongqing himself was shocked.

What's wrong with him?

He actually showed violent emotions in front of a group of slaves.

He owed her so much, and he would never allow anything to happen to her before repaying it. Shaking his head vigorously, Shen Zhongqing found a reason for the inexplicable fear in his heart. He suppressed his leaked emotions and strode towards the right direction. Go to the house.

Feeling that the violent aura had subsided, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Intimidated by Shen Zhongqing's majestic aura, Magpie Dongju and others did not dare to enter the room to serve him, and stood silently in the corridor. Even the guards brought by Shen Zhongqing were waiting in every corner with bated breath. .

There were forty or fifty people gathered in Nuo's ancestral house, but it was like an ancient tomb, with no sound at all.

"General, you haven't eaten..." Magpie asked anxiously when Rong Sheng brought out the food without moving it.

Rong Sheng shook his head, speechless.

Looking at Rong Sheng's lonely back, the magpie hesitated to speak.

Judging from this posture, Shen Zhongqing will not leave before Zhen Shiniang returns. Should we tell them that Zhen Shiniang may have gone to Zhongtang Mansion?

Just as he was hesitating, a guard from the general's palace came back quickly, "...Long live the message, please let the general enter the palace immediately." The imperial decree asked Shen Zhongqing to find Zhen Shiniang before entering the palace, but Chu Xinyi was afraid that if she delayed for a long time, she would violate the law. Sheng Yan, on his own initiative, asked the guards to change the long live edict.

Holding a wooden hairpin that Zhen Shiniang usually used in his hand and stroking it back and forth, Shen Zhongqing sat on the chair where Zhen Shiniang usually sat like a sculpture, without moving at all.

"General..." Rong Sheng called out cautiously.

She disappeared in the middle of the night, and for four days, there has been no news from Zhen Shiniang. The chance of her survival is extremely slim, and there is no point in mourning her. However, the imperial edict of "Long Live" cannot be violated.

Shen Zhongqing slowly raised his head, "You..."

"General, General, the madam has been found!" Just as he was saying this, there was a burst of excited shouting from the yard, and a guard came running in, "Go back to the general, Counselor Wei has found the madam!"

She is still alive!

Shen Zhongqing sat motionless, looking at the guards as if they were clay statues. After a long time, he stood up and asked, "How are you, madam?"

"My wife is intact. Counselor Wei protected her all the way. She has arrived at Wutong Town."

"Ready your horse!" Shen Zhongqing raised his feet and walked out.

Seeing Shen Zhongqing standing at the door of her ancestral home, Zhen Shiniang's heart skipped a beat, "How come he's here too? He just went through the palace coup. Aren't you busy?" Shen Zhongqing's elite soldiers stopped her on the way. Her mother already knew that he was looking for her, but she did not expect that he would come in person. She was surprised, but Zhen Shiniang did not dare to neglect her actions. She calmed down, helped Qiu Ju and calmly walked out of the carriage, and came to Shen Zhongqing. Wei Wei said happily, "The general is here."

It turns out that she was rescued by Xiao Yu.

I didn't know that Zhen Shiniang had defected to the Xiao Mansion. When he saw that she was riding in the Xiao Mansion's carriage, Shen Zhongqing thought that she had been rescued by Xiao Yu's people, and he felt a sigh of relief. When he just left the capital, he really They passed this carriage, and because it belonged to the Xiao Mansion, they were not allowed to stop for questioning.

Seeing Zhen Shiniang standing in front of him so pretty, Shen Zhongqing suppressed the palpitating feeling in his heart, tried his best to control the urge to step forward and pick her up, and asked with a straight face, "... Where have you been these days?"

He wanted to ask her what she had been through these days, and his heart was full of concern. However, because his mood was deliberately suppressed, his rigid tone sounded like a hint of accusation.
