Qiu Mingcheng has been practicing martial arts since he was young and entered the military camp. He has not read many books. There are many books in the study room, which are neatly arranged and give off a scholarly atmosphere.
Shen You followed Qiu Mingcheng into the study and glanced casually.
Qiu Mingcheng and Shen You had very few opportunities to be alone. The last time they spoke was at Shen's house in May last year. The guilt-ridden stepfather and the indifferent stepson stood facing each other and looked at each other.
Shen You didn't know what he was thinking, and Qiu Mingcheng felt a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat and said, "Silang, you have something to say, but it doesn't matter."
Shen You was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "The emperor is driving to the other palace, and Uncle Qiu will also accompany him. Uncle Qiu, please change his mount!"
What?
Qiu Mingcheng almost thought he heard wrongly: "You want me to change my mount?"
"Yes," Shen You said calmly without any embarrassment, "I know that Uncle Qiu's horse is a rare and good horse. However, this kind of BMW has a fierce temper. If it goes crazy or hurts someone during the spring hunting, Or alerting noble people is a troublesome matter. Uncle Qiu should change it!"
Qiu Mingcheng: "..."
Shen You, who had not visited Qiu's house for several years, came to Qiu's house specifically just to talk about this?
Qiu Mingcheng was not only funny, but also a little relieved.
No matter what, Shen You was concerned about his safety.
Qiu Mingcheng nodded: "What you said makes sense. I will choose another docile war horse before setting off."
Shen You secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's one thing that he doesn't like Qiu Mingcheng, but he never wants to see anything happen to Qiu Mingcheng. Even for Qiu Rou and Qiu Jie, Qiu Mingcheng should live well.
As for Jiang, no matter what happens at any time, she can live a good life without him having to worry about it.
After Shen You finished talking about the business, he handed over his hands and said goodbye. Qiu Mingcheng smiled quickly and said, "It's rare for you to come here. You have lunch at Qiu's house and then go back! And get close to Rou'er and Jie'er."
Shen You looked calm: "I specifically asked for leave today to come to Qiu Mansion, and I have to go back to work on errands. I won't stay any longer."
Qiu Mingcheng still wanted to persuade him to stay: "I've taken leave anyway, so there's no need to be in such a hurry to go back! Rou'er often talks about this brother, Jie'er is still young, and this is the first time I've met you. You..."
Shen You took over the conversation: "I still have something to do."
In desperation, Qiu Mingcheng added, "I'll ask someone to call Ms. Jiang over, and you can talk to her."
"No need." Shen You said with an indifference that would dissuade people from thousands of miles away: "Farewell!"
Jiang didn't want to see him.
He also didn't want to see Jiang.
It's really sad that mother and son are in this situation.
Shen You just left.
Qiu Mingcheng quickly returned to the inner hall. Mrs. Qiu was also startled: "Where is Silang Shen?"
Jiang raised his eyes and heard Qiu Mingcheng say: "Silang has to go back to work and has already left."
Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but mutter: "We're already here, why didn't we leave lunch before leaving? If word spread, they thought our Qiu family couldn't tolerate people."
Qiu Mingcheng smiled bitterly and said nothing more. In private, he told Jiang what Shen You had said.
Jiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "He came to Qiu's house specially just to tell you this?"
Qiu Mingcheng was very grateful: "No matter what, it is always his heart. I changed my mount when I returned to the military camp."
Jiang agreed obligingly. Whenever Shen You was mentioned, the couple always felt a little inexplicable awkward. Jiang quickly changed the subject. After chatting for a while, the concierge came again to deliver a letter.
A wealthy businessman named Li sent a greeting card.
This Li Changdong was a wealthy businessman from Fengzhou, barely distantly related to the Qiu family, and often visited his house. He would send generous gifts every New Year.
Li Changdong holds Qiu Mingcheng in such high regard simply because he wants to cling to the Qiu family and make it easier to do business in and out of the capital. A commander of troops and horses in Beicheng, his official position is not too high, but he is a military general with real power.
Qiu Mingcheng said casually: "Invite him in!"
Li Changdong is thirty-six this year. His first wife died of illness a few years ago and has never remarried. Businessmen are said to be snobbish, but Li Changdong does not have the vulgarity of a businessman. He has a handsome appearance, elegant manners, and a well-spoken tongue.
"I've met Mr. Qiu!" Li Changdong smiled and held up his hands.
Qiu Mingcheng smiled and said: "Those who come and go often, don't need to be outsiders, just get up quickly."
Li Changdong offered his hand to Jiang again: "I have met Mrs. Qiu."
Jiang raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "No need to be polite."
Jiang's face is stunning, and she is naturally charming. This smile is so charming that it goes down to the bone.
Li Changdong was in a state of ecstasy, fearing that Qiu Mingcheng would notice, so he lowered his head. In fact, how could Qiu Mingcheng not notice it? However, he didn't take it to heart at all.
As long as a man has eyes, he will definitely want to look at a stunning beauty like Jiang.
Jiang did not stay long, chatted for a few words, and quickly got up and hid in the inner room.
…
Two days later, the emperor's chariot set off for the palace.
King Zhao and King Han accompanied him on the trip, and they were very proud of themselves. There is no need to elaborate. Empress Dowager Cao was old and was not suitable for traveling, so she still stayed in the palace. Concubine Cao came to the palace with the emperor, and there were also several young concubines in the harem.
And drive with you.
Xue Lin, commander of the Jin Yiwei, led a group of Jin Yiwei to accompany him.
The soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division are responsible for clearing the way forward and backward.
Qiu Mingcheng led hundreds of soldiers to clear the way and clear away all things that should not be on the way. For example, driving away pedestrians on the road, driving away wild animals in the forest beside the road, etc.
There was a sudden noise in front of me.
Qiu Mingcheng frowned and asked sternly: "What happened?"
The soldiers around him immediately rode up to see what was going on, and soon came back in a hurry: "Master Qiu, it's not good. General Luo Shen's mount suddenly went crazy. General Luo Shen was thrown off the horse and kicked in the horse's belly.
, seriously injured!”
Qiu Mingcheng's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately galloped over.
Two days ago, he changed his mount and chose a gentle horse.
Luo Shenjiang had always been envious of his BMW. When he saw him changing his mount, he said half-jokingly: "Your BMW is not being used, why not give it to me to ride for a while."
He hesitated for a moment, but before he could say anything more, the BMW was "borrowed".
I never thought that something would happen on the first day!
"Everyone get out of the way!"
"Master Qiu is here!"
The soldiers gathered around were blasted away.
Qiu Mingcheng dismounted and rushed forward. He saw Luo Shenjiang lying on the ground with a pale face, his hands tightly covering his abdomen, bleeding gurglingly. There was a pool of blood all over his body, and he had already breathed out.
All the internal organs were injured. I don’t know if my life can be saved.
The mad BMW had been stabbed into its belly by a sword and was screaming in agony. However, at this time, everyone's attention was on General Luo. Even Qiu Mingcheng had no time to feel sorry for his BMW.
Qiu Mingcheng shouted sharply: "Go and call the military doctor quickly."
Luo Shen will be carried aside to heal.
Qiu Mingcheng continued to lead the soldiers to clear the official roads. Half an hour later, the soldiers came to report with a sad face: "Master Qiu, General Luo Shen has died!"
