Although the sheep-raising ceremony was eye-catching and lively, Qi Yu didn't pay much attention to it.
After he formally signed the surrender document, he immediately transferred to the Goryeo Palace to join Qi Jing.
The reason why I left in such a hurry was because of a sudden piece of news.
According to the oral message from Qi Jing, his son-in-law Hong Tao had arrived at the place. Not only did he survive, but he was also unscathed.
It is worth mentioning that he also brought back an old country man and a young girl.
It doesn't matter if he is old or not, but it is a bit weird to bring back a young girl.
Is it possible that this kid also found a mistress?
Although Qi Yu couldn't hide his happiness, when he thought of this happening, the anger in his heart couldn't help but boil up.
It was precisely because of this stimulation that he lost his mood to argue with the Donglu people.
Compared to these Tatars, Qi Yu cares more about his family.
Besides, the affairs here are over, and if you stay any longer, you will just be watching the excitement. So, you might as well go do something serious.
So, he decided to leave.
…
As the southerly wind gets stronger, the late spring cold gradually fades away.
Qi Yu and his party were bathed in the spring breeze and approached the Goryeo Palace under the halo of victory.
At the main entrance of the city, Qi Jing had already led his subordinates to greet him, and the level of attention he paid to him was obvious.
Objectively speaking, their previous bet was not a whim, nor was it a serious bet. No matter who lost or won, the result was a laugh, and no one would really take it seriously.
However, Qi Jing still deliberately brought up his victory to make fun of his old friends.
Judging from the results of the battle, although both sides achieved victory, the Qiongzhou Army was behind in time, and it was based on the latter's victory that they persuaded them to surrender. Therefore, from a superficial comparison, Qi Jing had the lead.
Of course, the latter does not yet know that anyone is secretly helping him, otherwise, he would not think so.
However, the strange tricks Qi Yu performed were beyond ordinary people's imagination, and even reached an astonishing level.
Therefore, after comparing and weighing, overall, Qi Jingjun can only be considered a lucky winner.
"Shaocheng, I really didn't expect that you would resort to such a weird trick. Even if the person you were facing was me, I probably wouldn't have been able to guard against you and you would suffer a big loss." General Qi was generous with his praise for his old friend.
, praised sincerely.
Qi Yu smiled lightly and said nonchalantly: "It's a small trick, it's not worth mentioning, but it made Brother Qi laugh." After a few perfunctory words, he hurriedly asked: "Where is Hong Tao boy? Why don't you see him come out to greet you?"
"You're talking about him! I sent him out to hunt the blind man. Today, we have a grand celebration banquet, shouldn't we add a decent hard dish? For example, tiger tendon, bear paw or something." Qi Jing slapped.
Haha, laughed.
hunting?
It seems to me that he is avoiding me on purpose, right?
Qi Yu firmly believed that this boy did not dare to come out to meet him because he felt guilty.
But Qi Jing was thinking that Hong Tao was really filial. When he saw Lao Taishan arriving, he actually ran out early in the morning to raise money. What could he ask for after such a son-in-law?
It can be seen that the two people's thinking is not in the same dimension.
In fact, there was another reason why Hong Tao did not want to appear in public.
That is, he had accidentally killed a court official before, and he is currently a fugitive court 'suspect'. If this matter is exposed, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Since this is the case, it is better to keep a low profile and attract as little attention as possible.
Qi Jing held a different view on the matter of manslaughter of officials.
At present, Mobei is under his own jurisdiction, and he can be said to have real power. As long as he goes to say hello to Wu Wanrong, who is in charge of administration, this matter can be settled artificially.
Of course, the premise is that even if Hong Tao doesn't kill the official, he will never let him go.
That's it, it's all over, and I've just punished myself.
This is what Qi Jing thought in his heart, and in fact, he did the same.
After he learned about this, he immediately issued an edict, ordering Wu Wanrong to deal with the aftermath properly and suppress the matter.
As everyone knows, the so-called aftermath has been taken care of by Qi Xiaotong secretly, and Lao Wu's subsequent participation is just to guide public opinion.
Let's talk about Hong Tao. He deliberately avoided the crowd and went out hunting worried about gain and loss.
This rare quiet time made him feel very comfortable and safe, and the tension that had been filling the air for a long time suddenly faded a lot.
However, he always felt that there was something strange in this wandering.
To describe it vividly, he always felt that someone was following him. However, whenever he launched a counter-detection investigation, he found nothing.
Oh, that’s really weird!
When the sun set over the western mountains, Hong Tao returned to the Goryeo Palace with his trophies and formally paid a courtesy visit to his father-in-law.
Qi Yu originally thought that he would look guilty and submissive, but he never thought that the other party actually acted as if nothing happened and had a sincere smile on his face.
Do you really have no idea in your heart?
"Uh, Hong Tao, I heard that you brought back a beautiful little girl??????????????????? Why don't you call her out and let me see her?"
"Father-in-law, they are farmers in the countryside. If they come out to meet each other rashly, they may lose their etiquette and make you unhappy."
Um?
This means... you won't let me see you?
Hearing this, Qi Yu's face couldn't help but froze, and he smiled against his will: "I was born in a poor family, and became an official in the imperial examination. I have a real grassroots background. Since I was born in the countryside and grew up in poverty, how can I treat the country people?
Are you unhappy?"
"Then...okay!" Seeing his father-in-law say this, Hong Tao had no choice but to nod his head in recognition.
In fact, Qi Yu just wanted to take a closer look at the woman's appearance and what their relationship was like.
That's all.
He believed that with his keen insight, he would be able to discern the clues.
In other words, you can find out whether their relationship is innocent or not.
If this guy really changed his mind after seeing something different, then don't blame yourself for turning your back on him.
When it’s time to knock, you have to knock!
Hong Tao followed Qi Yu's instructions and summoned the Nie family and his daughter, and also identified himself to them face to face.
Now that things have happened, there is no need to hide anything anymore. Even if you don't say it, others will point it out.
In comparison, it is better to say it honestly.
In this way, you can also give them a buffer time to avoid being frightened.
One can imagine how shocked the Nie family was after learning about his background.
