Zhao Qichen stood in the alley, hiding behind a carriage. Don't go out and crash it. Why ask for trouble?
It's a pity, there are always some things in this world that are particularly coincidental.
Xia Jingchen happened to come here. He didn't see Xia Jingyan at first. He came out of the alley and happened to see Zhao Qichen at the entrance of the alley, with a gloomy face and a very depressed face, so he stepped forward and patted him.
shoulders.
"Hey, brother Chen..."
"ah!"
Before Xia Jingchen could finish those words of concern, Zhao Qichen immediately exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost, and could not stop breaking out in cold sweat.
"You...what's wrong with you..." Xia Jingchen was almost frightened by his voice and asked Zhao Qichen in a low voice.
Because Zhao Qiechen has always been a stable and peaceful person, never making a fuss about anything, and now that he is like this, Xia Jingchen thinks he has seen a ghost.
What can Zhao Qichen worry about? Xia Jingyan, according to the position where Xia Jingchen is now, he can see a surprise with just a slight tilt of his head, a surprise that can make him faint on the spot!
"General...General, how did you find yourself here..." Zhao Qichen immediately stood in front of Xia Jingchen.
He wanted to help Xia Jingyan hide it, but after all, he was not a drama queen like Xia Jingyan. He would blush and stutter whenever he lied.
Even a fool can tell at a glance that Zhao Qichen has something on his mind.
"There's a ghost..." Xia Jingchen squinted his eyes, looking like he was about to "handle the case".
"Where...how can there be ghosts...how can there be ghosts in the clear sky and white sun..." Zhao Qichen felt even more guilty, and he tried to hide his guilt with a fake smile.
"Brother Qiechen, it's hard for you to lie." Xia Jingchen said, getting ready, and quickly pulled Zhao Qichen's shoulder and looked around.
Zhao Qichen quickly swept away Xia Jingchen's hand and took two steps back, blocking Xia Jingchen's sight. But at this moment, he saw Xia Jingchen's face full of fear and his trembling hands pointing at him.
"General...what's wrong?" Zhao Qichen's heart was beating loudly. Could it be that Xia Jingchen saw it? No, he blocked it in time and tightly.
"Hey, I see you have acne on your face..." Xia Jingchen said and walked towards Zhao Qichen.
"Young man, if I fight with your little Xia Ye in terms of strategy, there is definitely something wrong with me!" Xia Jingchen thought to himself.
How did Zhao Qichen know Xia Jingchen's little thoughts? After hearing this sentence, he stood there stupidly waiting for Xia Jingchen to approach.
But Xia Jingchen turned around and rushed forward. Zhao Qichen grabbed him by the waist. The two of them were like tug of war.
:
"General! I just saw the princess!"
Zhao Qichen's shout was heard by half the street, and Zhou Ranzhuo and Xia Jingyan were instantly awakened, and they quickly separated.
Gu Yun also jumped down from the eaves, and after looking around for a while, the three of them noticed that Zhao Qiechen and Xia Jingchen had arrived in a small alley very close to them.
"Yan'er! Where are you?" Xia Jingchen put aside his curiosity and asked eagerly.
What could compare to Xia Jingyan's safety? Even if there were mountains of gold and silver outside the alley, or even the throne, nothing could compare to his sister's safety.
"Brother!" Xia Jingyan called.
It had just been a day since they were separated, but Xia Jingchen felt that the voice of his brother had been heard for a long time, and it struck a chord in his heart. He looked towards the place where the voice came from, and saw Xia Jingyan running towards him and throwing herself into his arms. The heart that had been hanging around for a whole day was finally relieved.
"Yan'er... where have you been! My brother has searched the whole city and can't find you! Didn't I tell you to look after yourself first at all times? What should I do if something happens to you? I won't do it again!
Let you leave the city!"
Xia Jingchen hugged his baby and babbled for a while. If it weren't for the people around him watching, he would have cried while hugging Xia Jingyan.
"Brother... I will never come out again, I want to go home..." Xia Jingyan said, huddled in Xia Jingchen's arms aggrievedly.
Xia Jingyan wasn't afraid, he just wanted to show off.
"Let's go home." Xia Jingchen let go of Xia Jingyan. Xia Jingyan's eyes turned red again and he swallowed softly.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Xia Jingchen wiped away the tears from the corners of Xia Jingyan's eyes.
But people have a characteristic. If they cry, it’s okay if others don’t comfort them. The more they comfort them, the harder they cry.
Xia Jingyan likes to play tricks when he cries. He squats down and hugs Xia Jingchen's thigh without letting go, and shouts: "Brother, my legs are weak... just carry me back..."
"Is this a joke? It's at least five miles from here to the military camp! My legs will be useless if I carry them back! Get up and walk by yourself!" Xia Jingchen hurriedly pulled his own legs.
Run! Just let this little scoundrel Xia Jingyan get involved!
But Xia Jingyan seemed to be glued to Xia Jingchen's body and couldn't be peeled off. Then Xia Jingchen came up with a plan.
Xia Jingchen also sat on the ground, grabbing Zhao Qichen's clothes and yelling, but can an old man act like a baby the same as a little girl acting like a baby?
Zhao Qichen had goosebumps all over the floor and was shivering, but he didn't dare to pull Xia Jingchen, so he could only stand there with a blank stare. He saw people on the roadside stopped to watch, laugh and discuss, Zhao Qichen also
I had to cover my face with my sleeves.
Come on! It’s a shame and a big loss.
Zhou Ranzhuo and Gu Yun stood aside blankly watching the farce, feeling that they would not be able to integrate into the Xia family unless they imitated it.
So Zhou Ranzhuo slowly turned his head to look at Gu Yun, and said sheepishly: "How about... or... you carry me?"
Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. Zhou Ranzhuo took the first step and hugged Zhou Ranzhuo's legs and said, "Cousin, carry me!" Zhou Ranzhuo stiffened on the spot, and Gu Yun gave him a "treacherous"
laugh.
Let me play the fool and show you the fool!
The group of people argued for an unknown amount of time before they agreed to return to the camp. In the end, Xia Jingchen had no choice but to carry Xia Jingyan on his back.
After finding Xia Jingyan, the dust has finally settled.
The bandit's den was also burned down, and most of the bandits were killed in the flames. The few remaining bandits were also escorted back to the capital. Although there was still something fishy about this matter, Xia Jingsheng could not find out the result even if he stayed outside the city.
We can only go back to the palace first and then proceed step by step.
After sorting things out, Xia Jiajun returned to Beijing.
The momentum was no longer as grand as when he left the city. Xia Jingsheng was never a person who liked to show off, so he asked most of the soldiers to take off their armor and return to the city in civilian clothes, leaving only a small half of the soldiers to escort him back to the house so as not to disturb the people.
Although he had only been out of the city for a day, the government affairs were already piling up. As soon as he returned home, Xia Jingsheng locked himself in the study room, not even thinking of saying a word, and not even thinking of eating after he was so busy.
Xia Jingxuan was given full power over the affairs of the government. Other matters were fine, but he didn't know whether or how to punish Zhao Qiechen.
Thinking that Xia Jingyan was fine and had not suffered any grievances, Xia Jingyan went to work for another day, begging not to punish Zhao Qichen, and Xia Jingxuan agreed. However, Zhao Qichen felt that he had made a big mistake, and he felt guilty
Ashamed, he knelt down in the courtyard to beg for punishment and refused to leave no matter how hard he tried to persuade him. Xia Jingxuan thought about it and fined him three months' salary. This ended the matter and the palace returned to its former peace.
