Since Shang Hou was not here, Shang Fengyi arranged for Bo Jiming and Qin Jiaoxi to live directly in Shang Hou's room.
This house was also where Shang Fengyi lived when Marquis Shang was not at home, so it was normal for his servants to bring him tea and water.
Shang Fengyi also asked his servants to heat up the water in the soup pool and let Qin Jiaoxi take a good bath - she also thought that the two of them were rushing from Dan Lieguo.
After all, the last time Bo Jiming heard news from the imperial capital was that he asked the troops of Dan Lie to help Meng Yin and Qin conquer the northern border.
Meng Yinqin wanted to go south across the country to Yanchu, but since Ren Bo knew that he was the only son of the prince of Dan Lie, no one would have thought that he would follow Meng Yinqin.
Only Mr. Shang thought it was normal to chase after his wife who had not married yet.
Therefore, there was no need to send a message to Shang Hou to guess that Bo Ji was definitely following Meng Yinqin near Shuocheng, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he had already visited the Valley of Divine Doctors and then returned.
The two of them used the space to travel, and only Bo Jiming was tired.
By the time Qin Jiaoxi came out of the bath, he was already lying on the bed and asleep.
Fortunately, the room in Shanghou Mansion also has separate rooms, which are usually occupied by the maid who is responsible for taking care of him.
At this moment, people changed the bed to a new one and added a soft mat.
Naturally, Qin Jiaoxi didn't care that this was the bed where the maid had slept. She lay down on it and rolled around twice comfortably.
Knowing that Marquis Shang was fine, she naturally didn't have to worry.
When he comes back tomorrow, it will be convenient for Bo Ji Ming to discuss with him the use of a large sum of money.
The next day, the Marquis of Shang returned home safe and sound.
The old man was so happy to see Qin Jiaoxi in his house that his grandson didn't even care.
"How are you doing these days, Princess?"
Qin Jiaoxi nodded: "Very good, how is Grandpa Shang doing?"
Marquis Shang's beard trembled: "It's okay, Grandpa, it's okay. Grandpa's body is still in good shape. At least I can watch you grow up, get married and have children, so that won't be a problem!"
Qin Jiaoxi: "..."
Fortunately, Bo Jiming was anxious to discuss the use of silver with the Marquis of Shang and rescued Qin Jiaoxi.
She found a house by herself and escaped into space.
A few days ago, she had been determined to practice pulse detection and diagnosis with Bai Qin, and now it came in handy.
After describing Shang Hou's condition and facial expression to Bai Qin, he came out and personally checked Shang Hou's pulse to make sure he was okay. Qin Jiaoxi was completely relieved.
"It seems that Grandpa Shang's body is really good!"
Part of the reason why he fell down before was probably because he was worried about Bo Jiming.
After staying at Shanghou Mansion for two days, Qin Jiaoxi accompanied Bo Jiming and returned to Shuocheng with peace of mind.
With the money, the next thing went smoothly, and the 100,000-strong army gradually disappeared.
By the time Meng Yinxun realized that something was wrong and found that Meng Yinqin had not appeared again for more than a month, Duwei Chen had already led two thousand elite troops to the Valley of Divine Doctors to join them.
The rest of the troops spread from Shuocheng to surrounding towns and hid in the city according to the arrangements made by Meng Yin and Qin when they left the north, and then slowly gathered to the south in various capacities such as itinerant traders and farmers.
"This is simply unreasonable!"
Meng Yinxun threw his favorite inkstone directly in the study room.
"Where did they go? These 100,000 troops are not 100,000 mosquitoes. How could they just disappear while walking?"
"In May, I clearly heard that they were about to go to Zhaodu City, and I wanted to take away Princess Sang; in June, I had already appeared near Shuocheng, and I felt that they had run out of food and grass, so I listened to you and waited for him to take the initiative!
"
"What's the result? This wait will last more than a month!"
"It's already early August, could it be possible that a hundred thousand troops disappeared out of thin air?"
Several generals and courtiers were waiting in the study room, trembling with fear: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"The traitor of the Prince Regent, bah, no, that traitor has no money and power now, how can he maintain an army of 100,000 people?"
"Perhaps it was all a bluff when I came out of the North. Maybe there are only ten thousand!"
Meng Yinxun looked at everyone with sharp eyes: "I don't care what method you use, within three days, we must find the hiding place of the 100,000 troops!"
At that time, Qin Jiaoxi and Bo Jiming arrived at the Valley of Divine Doctors ahead of schedule.
Naturally, the two of them sneaked back from the underground river and stopped at Sang's House on the way. Qin Jiaoxi went to Sang's House alone to apologize.
Because Yan Xun used Gu, he needed to report it when he returned to the valley.
I'm afraid I'll be punished again by facing the wall at the back of the mountain and thinking about my mistakes.
Compared to Nanjiao, Qin Jiaoxi was more concerned about this senior brother.
She can't let Yan Xun take the blame for her every time!
Sure enough, by the time Qin Jiaoxi found the clan leader, Yan Xun had already been in the back mountain for half a month.
The two elders and the clan leader were very angry: "Qin Jiaoxi, although you are a direct disciple of the Sang family, you still don't care too much about the safety of my Sang family!"
Qin Jiaoxi lowered her head and accepted the punishment honestly.
I just don’t know if they would be even more angry if they knew that Bo Jiming was still hiding in the boat docked on the shore waiting for her?
"In short, the rules of our Sang clan are unbreakable. If you, Qin Jiaoxi, violate the rules, you will be punished!"
The patriarch gritted his teeth: "For the sake of your master, I will punish you by facing the wall in the back mountain for ten days!"
Sang Lanyun is gone, and now only Sang Ling can speak for Qin Jiaoxi.
However, Sang Lanyun had revealed Sang Ling's identity at the celebration in March this year, so her words now carry some weight.
"Grandpa Patriarch, your punishment is too severe. I told you that Yan Xun has sealed their memories with Gu. If nothing else, those people will not be able to remember this!"
"Besides, those are all the confidants of the Regent. Do you know what a confidant is? It's someone who can work hard for the Regent. Can't you still trust someone who can be trusted by the Regent?"
"Also, Sister Xi'er is the only daughter of the Regent. She is here to help. If it weren't for the Regent..."
The two elders stretched out their hands to stop her: "Stop, stop, stop, that's enough, you don't have to stress over and over again about the regent!"
My ears are numb.
Isn’t that just recognizing a sister and adopting a foster father?
In the end, the clan leader discussed with the two elders and changed Qin Jiaoxi's punishment to facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes for three days.
"No more, this is a clan rule, this is already very light!"
The patriarch looked at Qin Jiaoxi and Sang Ling majestically: "If Yan Xun hadn't corrected this mistake in time, then it wouldn't have been a three-day penalty. A three-year penalty would be nothing!"
Sang Ling stuck out his tongue, not daring to speak for Qin Jiaoxi anymore.
Qin Jiaoxi said, "Since it has been determined that I was the one who made the mistake, should you, patriarch, let my senior brother go?"
"He is helping me save my mistakes, not making them with me, right?"
Patriarch & Elder: “…”
Sang Ling stared at them eagerly, as if she would make trouble again if they didn't let her go.
The clan leader flicked his sleeve: "That's all, let Yan Xun rest for a few days and then return to the imperial capital."
