The emperor sent Liao Ying to see him off. Although the prince did not come in person, the Yang family, the An family and others came to see him off.
In the teahouse next to the pavilion, Xu Yin accidentally saw two people.
Ji Sanniang and her adopted brother Hu Liang.
"Sister Ji!" Xiao Sang shouted happily.
When Xu Yin first came to the capital, he once bumped into the future famous general Xue Yi selling knives on the street. After Yan Ling took action, he learned that his friend Ke Tong had been framed and imprisoned, and he wanted to raise money for his rescue. Ji Sanniang and Hu Liang
They are Ke Tong's sworn brothers and sisters.
Ji Sanniang and her adopted brother Hu Liang came in from outside, saluted Xu Yin, and replied with a smile: "Junior Sister Xiao Sang."
The two of them were dressed as guards and looked in high spirits, which was very different from the downcast appearance they had the last time they met.
Xiao Sang said with a smile: "Congratulations, senior sister, you must have become famous now."
Ji Sanniang smiled and said, "I would like to thank Second Young Master Yan for the letter of recommendation."
After they rescued Ke Tong, the three brothers and sisters followed Yan Ling's suggestion and went to Guanzhong to join the army with his letter of recommendation. Now, they are obviously being used in important ways.
Xu Yin asked them to sit down: "Did you pick up the official business this time?"
Ji Sanniang refused and did not dare to sit down, and replied: "Yes, we came to Beijing with the prince to pick up the second young master home, and we have been waiting outside the city."
Xu Yin nodded, these eight achievements were arranged by Yan Cheng. They didn't know what dangers their brothers would encounter on their way back, so they prepared a reinforcement force outside the city.
She looked behind them: "Where is your brother? Didn't you come with him?"
Speaking of this, Ji Sanniang and Hu Liang's expressions darkened.
Xu Yin noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Ji Sanniang replied: "Brother Xue decided to return to his hometown, so we parted ways. Who knew that last month, we received a letter from his hometown, saying that Brother Xue had committed a murder on the street and was sentenced to be sent to the army. My eldest brother urgently requested
Fake, rush over and deal with it."
Xu Yin was surprised: "Killing people in the street? What's going on?"
Ji Sanniang looked at her brother, and Hu Liang clasped his fists and said, "We don't know the specific situation very well. It should be related to his neighbors. Brother Xue lost his wife and left no heirs. The clan wanted him to adopt a nephew.
Aunt Xue refused to agree, so there was a dispute, and this was probably the cause of the incident."
Xu Yin understood. He was a step-nephew. Frankly speaking, he wanted his family's property. Xue Yi was only in his early thirties, and it wasn't like he couldn't give birth to children. Naturally, Xue's mother refused to agree. The clan members took advantage of Xue Yi's absence to bully his mother.
, which annoyed him.
Ji Sanniang sighed: "Counting the time, Brother Xue is already on the way to distribution. I don't know how he is doing now."
Unexpectedly, Xue Yi still couldn't escape the disaster of assassinating his wife. I don't know whether I should say it was God's will.
"Is Mr. Ke the only one who went to the rescue?" Xu Yin asked, "Did you report it?"
Ji Sanniang and Hu Liang looked at each other and shook their heads.
Although the Duke of Zhao was very polite to them, this was a private matter after all. If Yan Ling was here, they would certainly report it, but he was far away in the capital and couldn't take care of it!
"Miss Xu San," Hu Liang said, "the second young master finally escaped from the capital. His safety is the most important thing now, and we should not disturb him at this time."
Xu Yin understood his concerns, thought for a moment, and said: "Don't bother him, I'll just ask someone to help. Tell me about the situation. Where is Capt. Xue's hometown? When was he sentenced? Where was he sent to?
?When did you move?"
The adopted brother and sister were overjoyed: "Why bother Miss Xu San so much?"
Xu Yin waved his hand: "Rescuing people to the end, sending Buddha to the West, it is also the end of our encounter."
Xiao Sang interrupted: "Senior Sister Ji, please don't be polite. Our young lady has always been enthusiastic, so there is no reason not to help us now that we are in trouble."
Ji Sanniang said gratefully: "I got help from Miss Xu San last time, but this time... that's all. Don't worry about the debt. We will trouble you again."
Hu Liang took out the letter on the spot, and several people studied the letter.
Xu Yin then called Wei Jun and asked him to arrange personnel to rescue him.
After the arrangements were made, Ji Sanniang and her sister thanked her again: "Miss Xu San is so kind to us, we brothers and sisters will definitely keep it in our hearts."
Xu Yin smiled and waved his hands, and then asked: "Why did you come here?"
Ji Sanniang suddenly remembered and said hurriedly: "We are here to send a message for the second young master. There are many people today, so he will not come out. We will say goodbye. Miss Xu San will cherish it and wait for us to meet again in the golden autumn."
Xu Yin smiled slightly and looked out the window.
The pavilion was crowded with people seeing him off, and it was really difficult for him to come out.
"Wish him a safe journey for me."
The convoy of Duke Zhao's palace was ready. The Yan brothers said goodbye to those who were seeing them off one by one, and then those who boarded the carriage boarded the carriage and those who mounted the horse mounted their horses.
Ji Sanniang and Hu Liang said goodbye to her, then pretended to go out to buy snacks and returned to the queue with the snacks given by Xiao Sang.
Yan Ling was riding on the horse. When he saw the brothers and sisters coming back, he immediately waved.
"Second Young Master, the message has arrived." Hu Liang reported back.
Yan Ling saw the paper bag in Ji Sanniang's hand with sharp eyes and asked, "What is that?"
"It's a snack given by Junior Sister Xiao Sang."
Seeing the eager look on his face, Ji Sanniang hurriedly opened it and handed over a shortbread.
Yan Ling took one bite and felt her mouth was full of sweetness.
"Well, it's quite delicious." He picked up the paper bag and stuffed it into the pocket next to the saddle, "Let's go home!"
As he spoke, he pulled the reins and urged the horse on to the road.
Ji Sanniang was left standing there blankly, holding back a word in her heart without saying a word.
It was food that Junior Sister Xiao Sang gave to their brothers and sisters on the road. Why did the Second Young Master snatch it away...
Hu Liang smiled, patted his adopted sister on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go too!"
Since the second young master is happy, let him treat it as a gift from Miss Xu San.
In the teahouse, Xu Yin slowly walked to the window and looked at the young man's leaving figure.
I don't know if he sensed it, but he suddenly turned around and looked back.
The two were already far away, and each could only see the other's hazy shadow, but they both smiled in unison.
…
In the carriage, Yan Cheng saw the gift box on the coffee table, picked it up and asked, "What is this?"
The boy had been busy all morning, and he just had his hands free and replied: "Ah! This is a practical gift from the Concubine Xian!"
Yan Cheng was startled for a moment: "Didn't His Majesty send it as a gift?"
"It was delivered alone," the boy handed over a cup of herbal tea. "The father-in-law who brought the gift also came alone. I specifically told him not to make any announcement and only let the young master know."
Yan Cheng opened the gift box and saw a lot of miscellaneous items inside. There were shoes and socks suitable for long journeys, medicines commonly used on the road, and snacks that lasted a long time. The items were not expensive, but they were very thoughtful.
He couldn't help but frown.
This virtuous concubine was too kind to him, wasn't she?
