"Li Xueyun is nothing. Without his father, she is nothing. Don't worry, I will guard the big tree of the Prime Minister's Mansion. We rely on the Prime Minister's Mansion, not her, Li Xueyun," Ai Ling said firmly in the end.
"In five years, you have grown from a teenage girl to an adult. What your sister couldn't do back then, you are much better than her. Sooner or later, Feng Lin Village will be left to you to take care of. As long as you can let Feng Lin The brothers in the village are living more and more like a fish in water. My father will not interfere with what you want to do." The big man said while smoking a dry cigarette.
"Like a fish in water," Ai Ling sneered, "Dad, don't worry, we have done so many things for the Prime Minister secretly. One day I will ask Li Chengyi for reward, so that the brothers can live a good life openly and no longer live in this shabby place." The place cannot see the light”
"Why did you decide to take your brothers to the capital?" the big man asked
"I will take my brothers to the capital to drink, eat and live a happy life," Ai Ling vowed, her eyes shining brightly as she spoke, as if good things were just around the corner.
"Perhaps then you will find that the prosperity of the world is not as good as the freedom and ease we have in Fenglin Village." Luo Hu took a puff of dry smoke and said, "On the surface, Fenglin Village is just a run-down village. In fact, we live so carefree." You know freedom. I hope to be like a fish in water. It is not to live a seemingly luxurious life like those vulgar people. As long as we do whatever we want without being governed by others, we can do whatever we want. That is freedom. At least for now, we are in Fenglinzhai except for We can feel comfortable occasionally listening to the Prime Minister's orders without having to look at other people's faces or face the tax laws and obligations of the court."
"Freedom" Ai Ling sneered, "As long as we listen to one person's orders, it is not truly free. Otherwise, Ai Yu was killed by Ximenzhe and we didn't even have a way to take revenge. It was clearly Li Xueyun's "treacherous" plan that went wrong and he died. Our family members will continue to work hard for their family. There will always be a time limit for working hard for the Prime Minister. But whenever I find a better way, I will definitely trample the Li family under my feet."
The big man knocked the ashes of his cigarette and extinguished the burning tobacco and said, "It's up to you. All my belongings are yours, so I will raise you as my son."
Ai Ling once again picked up the brush and modified the painting on the table. She paused for a moment to look at it and praised, "It's a pity to fill in the other half of the face. It's really a beauty."
After Ximenzhe entered the palace early in the morning and returned to the West Prince's Mansion, he did not see Dai Xiao, who was supposed to be there as scheduled. Instead, he saw a faint displeasure flashing across Mo Qinghan's face, even though he thought that the purpose of Mo Qinghan's coming was to stop Dai Xiao. Come to Prince Xuan's Mansion as a lobbyist
"What's the matter?" Ximenzhe asked with a slightly lowered face.
"Your Majesty, you can let go," Mo Qinghan said, opening a painting in his hand and laying it on Ximenzhe's desk with relaxed joy, "This time, Your Majesty, he must be satisfied."
Ximenzhe glanced at Mo Qinghan, and as his eyes fell on the painting, his eyes were stunned. There were dazzling sparks in his eyes, hiding incredulity.
"My lord, this is the goddess you have been looking for. My subordinates were frightened when they saw it. Unexpectedly, there are so many people who look like you in the world, Dai Xiao and this Ai Ling."
When Mo Qinghan received this portrait from the secret investigator, he was not only surprised but also happy that Dai Xiao could be freed.
"Her name is Ai Ling" Ximenzhe asked
"Yes" Mo Qinghan replied with just one word, unable to conceal his excitement.
"Didn't I ask you to look up the portrait of Zuo Linfan's cousin?" Ximenzhe raised his head and looked at Mo Qinghan.
"Zuo Qiuran's portrait was not found. Perhaps the relationship between Zuo Linfan and Zuo Qiuran was not as deep as what I see now, so I did not deliberately save a portrait. Zuo Linfan also does not have the painting skills of the prince. I didn't draw a picture perfectly according to my memory." Mo Qinghan said and frowned slightly, "My lord, do you still think that Zuo Qiuran, who we all think is Dai Xiao, is the person you are looking for? What about this, Ai Ling? The face is intact and exactly the same as the one in the prince’s painting.”
"Where is the person?" Ximenzhe looked down at the painting again for a long time before asking.
"Fenglin Village at the junction of Beijing and Huai'an County," Mo Qinghan said, "There was once a businessman who came to the capital to do business via Fenglin Village. He accidentally met Ai Ling and marveled at her beauty, so he wanted to paint a picture as a souvenir. He didn't want to leave Beijing later. I met a thief in another place and stole the painting. The thief was caught by the government and the painting was found in his hand. It happened that someone sent by his subordinates to investigate found that he had brought it back. The businessman had already reported the theft to the government. My subordinates knew the origin of this portrait and now they have sent people to Fenglin Village to look for him."
"Fenglin Village" Ximenzhe is a little unfamiliar with this place because it is near the capital.
"It's Fenglin Village," Mo Qinghan said, "It's just a very run-down village located in the west of Wuli Peak. Take a shortcut over the cliff and walk ten miles to reach the boundary of Huai'an County. The village is very small and was built nearby by hunters who went into the mountains to hunt. It started as a temporary residence and now people are gradually living there permanently.”
This is the news that Mo Qinghan has found out. As expected, Ximenzhe's capable subordinates already had a certain understanding before coming to see him [
"Oh" Ximenzhe nodded. According to this, Fenglin Village is not far from the capital, but he has never heard anyone say that he has been looking for her for five years. Could it be that she has always been under his nose?
He had never been to the cliff west of Wuli Peak, but he knew that the last thing he heard about that cliff was probably from Yichen. Yichen also heard it from Yimeng Yiqi, and Yimeng heard it from her. My aunt Su Ranqing’s daughter Qiaoer naturally heard about Qiaoer from what her mother told me.
Su Ranqing said that she had designed to kidnap Su Ranhua but was kidnapped by Su Ranhua. Coincidentally, the person who kidnapped Su Ranhua was Qiao Dazhu and later became Su Ranhua's confidant. The place where the crime was committed was the west of Wuli Peak. The cliff is very high and steep
Su Ranqian lamented the past, but the three children, Yi Meng, Yi Qi and Yi Chen, were full of curiosity and secretly searched for that place. As a result, everyone inside and outside the palace was frightened and their whereabouts could not be found for a while. The three children played for a day and a night and then returned as if it was nothing serious.
Because of this, Ximen Hao felt that it was time for them to do something, so he sent Yichen Yiqi to Yuehua County for training. He left Ximen Yimeng alone and got into the cave of Xuangu Ice Cliff.
