Gao Zhen was a little surprised and asked anxiously: "Is it because of me?"
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, nodded again, and explained: "His Majesty has wanted me to go for a long time. I refused before, but now I can't refuse."
Gao Zhen understood what Luo Qingzhi meant and asked, "How long will it take to go?"
"It's hard to say, it could be as short as one month or as long as three months."
Zhi Xin packed up everything and urged outside the door, "Aluo, it's almost time."
Luo Qingzhi continued to warn, "After I leave, the affairs of the house will be left to Mr. Fan. If you need anything, just go to him."
After thinking about it for a while, she comforted herself, "Arou's matter is her choice, you don't have to worry about it."
Gao Zhen kept staring at Luo Qingzhi, listening to her instructions, but without any answer.
Luo Qingzhi and Zhi Xinde hurriedly left before the city gate was locked. Counting that time was almost up, she turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, she saw Gao Zhen still frozen in place, and she turned around worriedly.
Seeing this, Gao Zhen forced out a smile and said, "Don't worry about me, I will wait for you to come back."
With Gao Zhen's promise, Luo Qingzhi felt relieved and turned around to leave.
Zhi Xin gave one of the bags to Luo Qing Zhi and said, "Let's go, check to see if there is anything missing."
Luo Qingzhi shook her head and said, "I believe you, let's go."
Meng Feng saluted and said, "Best congratulations to the princess. I wish the princess everything goes well."
"good."
Fan Li sent the two of them to the door and asked uneasily: "Aluo, are you two going?"
Luo Qingzhi explained, "We are just going to check the situation first. The people your Majesty gave us will leave in five days."
Fan Li said worriedly: "You can't use force now, and don't show off at all times, you know?"
"Yes, sir."
After instructing Luo Qingzhi, he looked at Zhixin and said seriously: "You must protect her, you know."
Zhi Xin said impatiently: "I know, I know."
The two mounted their horses and left Jinling under the cover of night.
Late at night in the princess's mansion, Gao Zhen sat on the bedside, looking at the moon outside the window with a disappointed look on his face.
Several thumping sounds were heard outside the door. Gao Zhen came to his senses. The door was pushed open and a woman dressed in black walked in.
The woman had her face covered, but Gao Zhen still recognized her.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Shu Yuan said: "Come and take you out."
Gao Zhen immediately refused, "No, I promised A Luo to stay here and wait for her to come back."
Shu Yuan snorted coldly, "Azhen, don't you know how much the emperor hates us? Do you really think the emperor will let you go?"
Gao Zhen hesitated for a moment, but thinking about Luo Qingzhi going to Ningzhou so far away for him, he firmly refused.
The guards of the Princess's Mansion had already reacted. Footsteps came one after another towards the courtyard. Shu Yuan said, "Luo Qingzhi is only taking one woman on the road. Are you really relieved?"
Gao Zhen originally thought that the emperor would provide her with someone, but with only Zhi Xin accompanying her, he felt uneasy and hesitated again and again.
Fan Li led people to surround the courtyard. Shu Yuan couldn't wait for Gao Zhen to make a decision, so she blew a whistle, broke through the roof and entered two men in black, and held Gao Zhen away, one from the left and the other from the right.
"It's broken." Fan Li saw Gao Zhen being kidnapped with worry on his face.
"Quickly, send a message to the princess."
In order to prevent a sneak attack on the road, even Fan Li did not know the specific route of the two. When Luo Qingzhi learned the news that Gao Zhen had been kidnapped, it was already half a month later when they arrived in Ningzhou.
Luo Qingzhi took Zhixin to the place where Ningzhou spies were preparing to stay, the largest inn in Ningzhou - Fu'an.
Ningzhou's hidden stake brought the news to the back and waited for Luo Qingzhi's instructions.
"Have you found out who robbed it?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"not yet."
Luo Qingzhi continued to ask: "How did you deal with it, sir?"
「
I found someone to disguise myself with."
"Okay." Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I know, reply to Jinling, sir, everything will be decided by you."
Zhi Xin said: "Fortunately, your Majesty's target this time is not Gao Zhen, otherwise, you and the princess's mansion will be affected."
Luo Qingzhi asked the spy, "What's your name?"
"Master, my name is Fengxing."
"Are you Feng Zinan's disciple?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"yes."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Has your master arrived?"
Feng Xing replied: "Master arrived three days ago. According to the master's instructions, he has already gone to check out the gangsters."
"In addition." Feng Xing continued: "According to the master's instructions, your identity in Ningzhou is Jiang Yunsheng, the young master of Yong'an Hall in Jiangzhou, and you came here to buy medicinal materials."
"Okay, not bad."
Luo Qingzhi looked at the clothes Feng Xing had prepared, nodded repeatedly, and asked, "Does the young master of the Jiang family have any old days in Ningzhou?"
"No."
Feng Xing temporarily retreated, while Luo Qingzhi changed clothes in the room.
Zhi Xin looked at Luo Qing Zhi who was not in any hurry and asked: "Do you know who kidnapped Gao Zhen?"
Before Luo Qingzhi could answer, Zhixin continued to guess, "You didn't arrange it yourself, did you?"
Luo Qingzhi sighed and said helplessly: "It's not me."
"Then did you guess who it was?" Zhixin asked back.
"......I guess so."
Zhi Xin said: "Aren't you worried that something will happen to him?"
Luo Qingzhi put on her coat and turned into a handsome young man. She explained, "Now that he is a person, the person who would kidnap him was supposed to come to threaten me, but so far, no one has found me and proposed
What kind of request, so the person who kidnapped him was not to threaten me, but to save him, so naturally he was someone who was familiar with him."
"A familiar person? He has been locked up in the palace for eighteen years, how can he be familiar with anyone?" Zhi Xin asked.
Luo Qingzhi stopped talking. Zhi Xin wanted to continue asking, but there was a knock on the door.
"Little Lord."
Luo Qingzhi pulled her hair into a single bun and fixed it with a white jade hairpin. After preparing everything, Zhixin went to open the door.
The wind blows from the south.
"My subordinates see you, young master."
Perhaps because of the rush, Feng Zinan looked dusty and had a sense of vicissitudes of life.
"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Qingzhi said.
Listening to Luo Qingzhi's slightly weak voice, Feng Zinan lowered his head and said, "It is a subordinate's dereliction of duty to let the young master be in danger in the capital."
Luo Qingzhi chuckled, "When you see Luo Chen and the others, you will have another reason to beat them up."
Feng Zinan still felt guilty when he listened to Luo Qingzhi's joke.
"Okay." Luo Qingzhi stopped Feng Zinan from thinking more, "Everything is over."
"How is the investigation going?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Feng Zinan said: "My subordinates have been squatting for three days and found out that the gangsters are most frequent in the Weibaoshan area. Where should their stronghold be."
Luo Qingzhi continued to ask: "What's going on with the people in Mu Mansion?"
"Indeed, as the young master said in his letter, they seem to be letting this situation go." Feng Zinan said.
"Has General Mu come forward?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Feng Zinan shook his head, "It is said that no one has seen General Mu for a year."
Luo Qingzhi said: "No one from Mu Mansion has seen me except General Mu. Is there any way I can go into Mu Mansion to check?"
"In three days, it's the wedding of the eldest daughter of the Mu family. Maybe we can go in in the name of giving gifts to the Jiang family."
"Okay, you come and prepare." Luo Qingzhi said.
After talking about Ningzhou, Feng Zinan continued: "There are not enough clues about the north, and I don't want you to be happy in vain."
"...I know, I have received a lot of news from brother over the years, I understand." Luo Qingzhi's tone was calm, but
There is also a sense of disappointment.
Luo Qingzhi sighed slightly and said, "Okay, that's it for today. You can go and rest."
"yes."
Zhixin said first: "I don't want to rest. It's my first time in Ningzhou and I want to go shopping."
"It will get dark soon, what is there to do?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Zhi Xin chuckled and said, "It's most interesting when it's dark. Okay, leave me alone and rest first."
With the frost bones in her body, Luo Qingzhi's body was indeed not as good as before. She put on her clothes and lay on the bed, obviously just wanting to rest for a while, but she never thought that she actually fell asleep.
In the dream, she returned to her childhood. Although there was constant war in Yuzhou, Luo Yi was always by her side. Even if Luo Yi was not around, Gao Yan would play the role of her elder brother and play with her.
At that time, she never thought that she would be alone in the future.
"Brother, second brother." She unconsciously called the two of them in her sleep.
The man sitting next to her bed covered her with a quilt, and his fingers froze as he listened to the address.
The man stared at Luo Qingzhi for a long time, until someone climbed into the house through the window and said warily: "Master, it's time to go."
In her sleep, Luo Qingzhi dreamed of Gao Zhen, and subconsciously called: "Ah Zhen."
When the man heard the sound, he stopped turning around, looked back at Luo Qingzhi, leaned down, kissed her on the lips, and left the room full of reluctance.
When Luo Qingzhi woke up and opened her eyes, Zhixin had already filled the desk with the things she had bought.
Luo Qingzhi touched the quilt on her body and remembered that she didn't put a quilt on her before going to bed. When she looked at Zhi Xin, she thought it was covered by Zhi Xin after she came back, so she didn't think much about it.
"How did you buy so many things in just a short time?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Zhixin excitedly pulled Luo Qingzhi over and introduced the gadgets in her hand one by one.
"Aluo, this Ningzhou is really interesting. Although it is in a remote place, you see, Jinling doesn't have these gadgets."
Luo Qingzhi also came to Ningzhou for the first time. Most of the time, news about Ningzhou came from military newspapers.
"General Mu manages things very well."
Zhi Xin shook her head, "No, what I heard was all due to the eldest son of Mu Mansion."
Luo Qingzhi was a little confused, "Eldest Young Master?"
Zhi Xin nodded and said, "Yes, everyone said that this young master is really good."
"Then, has anyone mentioned the gangster thing?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"No one mentioned it," Zhi Xin recalled, "but no one seemed to care about it very much."
Luo Qingzhi felt very strange and thought she would go out to check it out tomorrow.
Zhixin was about to go back to the room, looked at the open window and said, "Why don't you sleep with the window closed?"
"Didn't you open the window when you came back?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"No, it was already open when I came back."
Zhixin's answer made Luo Qingzhi panic instantly, and continued to ask: "Did you cover me with the quilt?"
