Zhu Xiucai's answer aroused the curiosity of Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer. After the two looked at each other, Qin Shaoyou asked: "Who is he? Do we know each other?"
"I'm not sure either. I'll have to meet the two adults before I can be sure."
Zhu Xiucai was not trying to show off. Although he could tell at a glance that the man was somewhat similar to Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, he had never seen the other person before, and the other person was dressed as a woman, so it was not appropriate for him to ask presumptuously.
his name.
Originally, Zhu Xiucai wanted to call Cen Biqing over and ask her to help ask about the other party's situation.
As a result, before he could do that, the other party and the stewards of several other caravans proposed to express their gratitude to Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer in person.
Zhu Xiucai thought about it and felt that it would be better to let Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer confirm each other's identities in person, and maybe it would give them a surprise, so he ran back to deliver the message.
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly, not satisfied with Zhu Xiucai's answer, but Qin Qiaoer spoke at this time and ordered: "In this case, please invite someone to see him."
The sixth sister expressed her position, and Qin Shaoyou naturally would not refuse. He immediately waved his hand and asked Zhu Xiucai to bring the person over.
Zhu Xiucai exited the post house, and after a while, he entered the house with several caravan stewards.
These caravan stewards were holding gifts in their hands and looking terrified.
On the way here, they had listened to Zhu Xiucai's introduction and knew that the person who would help them survive the disaster tonight was the famous red-robed messenger.
And what they wanted to meet now was the leader of the red-clothed messenger.
As well-informed businessmen who traveled extensively, they had heard many rumors about the red-clothed messengers. Knowing that they were a powerful personal army of the emperor, they were naturally a little afraid and awe-struck.
And when they saw Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, the fear on their faces turned into surprise.
On the one hand, they did not expect that the two commanders of the red envoys were so young.
On the other hand, the appearance of these two commanders looked very similar to the one who came with them.
The man also widened his eyes and looked directly at Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer. With a somewhat excited and uncertain tone, he exclaimed: "Sixth sister, little brother, is it you?"
Qin Qiaoer recognized the other party the moment she saw her, stood up in a hurry to greet her, and shouted in surprise: "Fourth sister? Why is it you? Aren't you from Jiangnan?"
Qin Shaoyou also recognized the person at this moment. It was his fourth sister who was married to Jiangnan.
Qin Shaoyou's fourth sister was originally married to a scholar named Li Xin, who was from Jiangnan.
The literary style in Jiangnan was at its peak, and the competition in the imperial examination was extremely fierce. The fourth brother-in-law's talent was not too high and he could not succeed in the imperial examination. Fortunately, his family had a small income, so he simply switched to business.
The fourth sister often sends letters home. The letter once mentioned that although the fourth brother-in-law Li Xin failed to pass the imperial examination, he was very talented in business. Over the past few years, he had developed a large industry and became a successful businessman.
A wealthy local businessman with considerable assets.
But why does the fourth sister appear here?
Could it be that the fourth brother-in-law and his family were also assigned a training program? But even so, the fourth sister should not be escorted by the team herself.
Because there were outsiders around, although Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer had many questions in their minds, it was difficult to ask them.
After they got acquainted with the fourth sister, they asked her to sit down for a while and took care of the management of several other caravans.
Those who can manage caravans are all well-rounded people. Seeing such a situation, the sensible ones did not stay long and left after leaving a thank you gift.
Qin Shaoyou asked Zhu Xiucai to help see him off, and then he and Qin Qiaoer saluted his fourth sister.
At this moment, Li Qin felt unbelievable.
"I'm not dreaming, am I? Are they really Sixth Sister and Little Brother? When did you become the red-clothed messengers and became commanders?"
Although Li Qin knew that Qin Qiaoer had become a disciple of an official in the Demon Suppression Division, she didn't know that that official was the commander-in-chief of the Red Envoy.
As for Qin Shaoyou, in Li Qin's impression, he was still a young kid.
Although in the letter sent to her by her parents, it was mentioned that Qin Shaoyou had followed his father to work in the Demon Suppression Division, but the letter only said that Qin Shaoyou became a strongman. How come he has now become the commander of the Red Envoy?
From a strong man to the commander of the red-clothed messenger, how many levels of officials have you been promoted? Our old Qin family is really a smoke in the blue for our ancestors?
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer looked at each other and said with a smile: "This is a long story. Anyway, Fourth Sister, you are going to the capital. We happen to be on the same road, so we talked slowly on the way. But Fourth Sister, how can you personally escort the practice guide?"
Where is my fourth brother-in-law?"
Hearing her younger brother mention her beloved, Li Qin's expression suddenly became a little sad.
Qin Shaoyou noticed this keenly, his expression sank, and he asked: "What's wrong? My fourth brother-in-law is not good to you?"
"no."
Li Qin was startled by the aura emanating from Qin Shaoyou. She was afraid that her younger brother would misunderstand and deal with her lover, so she hurriedly wanted to explain.
But before she could say anything, Zhu Xiucai, who had gone out to see someone off, quickly returned and brought with him a man who looked like a steward and a knife-wielding escort.
As soon as these two people saw Mrs. Li Qin, they said anxiously: "Madam (Mrs. Li), the practice guide we prepared has been transferred!"
"What? The training plan has been changed?"
Li Qin was shocked when she heard this. She didn't bother to explain to her younger brothers and sisters, and stood up quickly to ask for details.
The man in charge said with a pale face: "We followed your instructions, madam, to check the escorted practice program, and found that all the practice materials in the box were missing. What is now inside is some weeds and debris.
Rubble and rags.”
The head escort said solemnly: "Before setting off this morning, these boxes were opened and inspected under Mrs. Li's personal supervision.
There was nothing wrong with the contents of the box at that time, but now the seal on the box is still there, but the contents inside are missing.
We suspect there is something dirty and took advantage of the thieves to make trouble and stole the practice guide. Do you think we should report the case to the Demon Suppression Department?"
Most of the people in the escort agency are warriors and can guard against thieves and ordinary monsters, but they are powerless when encountering more powerful sneaks or some mysterious means.
After listening to the words of the steward and the bodyguard, Li Qin staggered slightly and almost lost her balance.
It is a grave sin to fall into the trap of spiritual practice!
Moreover, the time limit given by the imperial court is coming soon, and even if they want to gather a new batch of cultivation materials, it will be too late.
Missing a deadline is also a grave sin!
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly supported Li Qin and comforted her: "Fourth sister, don't worry, we are here, whether it is demons or thieves who have stolen the Cultivation Guide, we will find a way to get it back for you."
Qin Qiaoer supported the fourth sister on the other side: "Yes, fourth sister, with me and my little brother here, we want to see which thief with no eyesight dares to steal your practice guide."
Hearing the names of the two men, the steward and the escort chief were stunned for a moment, and then they noticed that the two leaders of the red-clothed messengers looked very similar to their wives, and they couldn't help but feel surprised and happy.
After hearing what Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer said, Li Qin quickly calmed down.
She showed off the demeanor of a strong woman at this moment, patted the hands of Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, and said in a deep voice: "Then please take a trip with the younger brother and sister to help sister find out what is going on."
