The next day, Liu Jinrui woke up and Qin Ming came to serve him.
After Liu Jinrui finished washing, he had breakfast.
Seeing his master's calm expression, Qin Ming stepped forward anxiously and said softly: "Sir, the person who escorted Miss Huahong away yesterday was ambushed on the rock."
Qin Ming spoke carefully and looked at his master's face while reporting.
He received the letter last night. His master had just fallen asleep at that time. He didn't dare to disturb his master, and he was still worried until now.
Liu Jinrui's expression froze. The terrain on the rock was dangerous and he was ambushed there. It was impossible to escape intact.
"Are there any casualties?" Liu Jinrui asked suppressing the anger in his heart.
Qin Ming leaned forward and replied: "Eight people died and five were injured. After receiving the letter, I sent someone to investigate. The other party handled it very cleanly. The origin of the other party was not found for a while."
Qin Ming's voice dropped all the way down to silence, and he lowered his head and waited for Liu Jinrui to scold him.
After waiting for a moment, the expected sound of reproach did not come out.
Qin Ming raised his head slightly and glanced at Liu Jinrui secretly.
Liu Jinrui stared at the tea cup on the table, knowing what he was thinking.
Qin Ming called softly: "Master!"
Liu Jinrui looked up at Qin Ming and said, "What are you investigating! Who else can be involved in this matter besides Shi Jingyang?"
Of course Qin Ming knew it was Shi Jingyang. Wasn't the purpose of the investigation to find evidence?
Liu Jinrui rolled her eyes at Qin Ming, leaned back on the chair and looked at the ceiling.
He couldn't understand how Shi Jingyang calculated that he was going to send people away?
His decision to send people away was an impromptu decision and he did not inform others in advance.
He asked Qin Ming to handle this matter. Qin Ming had been following him since he was a child and there was no way he would betray him.
Liu Jinrui's eyes narrowed slightly, and a terrible thought arose in his heart.
He didn't want to admit it but had to admit that his mind was seen through by Shi Jingyang...
This thought sent chills down Liu Jinrui's back!
Liu Jinrui closed his eyes and thought about what happened yesterday.
Soon, Liu Jinrui came to the conclusion that Shi Jingyang knew about Huahong's existence and everything he did yesterday...
Shi Jingyang saw him through and through. Shi Jingyang knew his every word and action like the back of his hand.
This made Liu Jinrui collapsed and frustrated.
"Boom!" Liu Jinrui kicked the short guy in front of him away.
The short bird immediately flew out, hit the tent, bounced back, and then fell down in the room.
Qin Ming was so frightened that he blurted out: "Master!"
Qin Ming's shout brought back Liu Jinrui's consciousness, allowing him to regain his sense little by little.
Liu Jinrui asked expressionlessly: "Where is Hua Hong? Is he dead or injured?"
Qin Ming glanced at Liu Jinrui secretly and saw that his face was expressionless and his tone was calm, so he knew that his emotions had calmed down.
Qin Ming felt relieved for a moment, considered his words, and replied with some carelessness: "Last night, I told Miss Huahong that I asked her to go back to the city first.
Girl Huahong was worried about something unexpected happening on the road, so she made some arrangements before setting off.
The fifteen escorts were divided into three groups, and the bonus girl was the last group. Therefore, the bonus girl was not injured."
There was some fluctuation in Liu Jinrui's eyes, but it just passed by, and his face remained expressionless.
When Qin Ming raised his head, he happened to catch the fluctuation in Liu Jinrui's eyes.
Qin Ming has been with Liu Jinrui for many years and almost immediately noticed the joy in Liu Jinrui's heart.
How could Liu Jinrui not be happy? Yesterday he fell into the hands of Shi Jingyang one after another.
The bonus can break Shi Jingyang's game, which also gives him face.
Qin Ming continued: "Miss Huahong is very cautious and thoughtful.
What happened last night, when the bonus girl said that people would be divided into three groups, someone was not happy to say that the bonus girl had too many things to do.
It turned out that the bonus girl was right.
When the first group of people arrived on the rock, they were first intercepted by horse ropes, and then shot with cold arrows.
If Miss Huahong hadn't thought so carefully, we might have all collapsed on the rocks."
“The bonus performance really surprised me.”
Liu Jinrui finally had an expression on his face, and his voice rose slightly, showing a little joy.
Qin Ming nodded repeatedly and said flatteringly: "That's right, Miss Huahong was trained by me. She has a smart mind and is excellent at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even her skills are not inferior to those of men."
Liu Jinrui nodded slightly, not wanting to continue this topic.
"Shi Jingyang is more difficult to deal with than I thought. I underestimated him before.
In the future, we must be more cautious and never act rashly without careful preparation."
Liu Jinrui took a sip of tea and turned the conversation back.
Qin Ming felt slightly relieved when he saw that his master's tone was calm and his judgment was fair.
He bowed and said, "Yes, Prince Shi has been with the prince since he was a child, and the people he comes in contact with, whether they are civil servants or military generals, are all very powerful..."
Qin Ming followed Liu Jinrui's words.
Before he finished speaking, Qin Ming saw that his master's face turned cold again, and belatedly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly swallowed the rest of his words.
Liu Jinrui glared at Qin Ming and said in a deep voice: "He is so powerful, why don't you go and join him?"
Qin Ming was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "Sir, please calm down. I realize that I was wrong. Please punish me."
Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao has not finished what he said. I have been with His Highness Prince Yan and His Highness Prince Chen since I was a child, and everything is no worse than that of Prince Shi.
And...and I have the Prime Minister beside me to teach me step by step, so I am a bit stronger than that Prince Shi."
Qin Ming lowered his head and stammered his words.
It's just that the more I describe it, the more wrong it becomes, and I feel regretful and wish I could give myself two slaps.
I secretly blame myself for being short-spoken.
I have been with my master for more than ten years, and I know clearly that my master dislikes Prince Shi the most, yet I still say that Prince Shi is good.
Isn’t this causing trouble for the master and finding a way out for oneself?
Liu Jinrui glanced at Qin Ming and said coldly: "Next time you dare to do it again, I will throw you out."
"Yes! I've written it down, little one." Qin Ming bowed and responded.
Liu Jinrui stopped looking at Qin Ming, stood up and walked out, secretly swearing in his heart that he would never lose to Shi Jingyang in the military exercise.
After walking a few steps, Liu Jinrui stopped, turned to look at Qin Ming, and asked, "Have you checked clearly? Is the eldest daughter of the Wu family in the military camp?"
Qin Ming stopped and said, "Come back, the eldest lady of the Wu family is not living in the military camp. She seems to be living in Zhuangzi to the west."
"Are you sure? What's going on? Tell me carefully." Liu Jinrui asked.
Qin Ming leaned forward and said, "I'm not sure either.
Liu Wu said that at the appointed time last night, Shi Shizi left the military camp and went to Zhuangzi in the west.
He followed him, but was distracted by someone and lost track of him.
Liu Wu stayed on guard until today, when he saw Shi Shizi coming back from outside."
"Oh? Let someone go to Zhuangzi to the west to explore." Liu Jinrui said.
"Yes!" After bowing in agreement, Qin Ming turned around and walked out.
"Wait!" Liu Jinrui thought for a moment and shouted.
Qin Ming stopped and asked, "Do you have any more instructions?"
Liu Jinrui waved his hand and said: "Don't go for the time being, so as not to scare others, keep an eye on Shi Jingyang first."
