The guard's ears were red, he lowered his head vigorously, and said in a very soft voice: "Yes, something is wrong..."
Qing Lingyi tried her best to hear the general idea and took a step towards him, "Then tell me."
The guard turned pale with shock, his whole face turned red: "I, I, I...this, this, this..."
Qing Lingyi looked at him for a while, suddenly realized, and took a step back.
The guard's expression softened.
"Speak louder." Qing Lingyi encouraged him.
"Just, that's it," the guard blushed, "I should have reported it to the general, but... I don't know, I don't know where the general is, but it's... very urgent..."
Qing Lingyi listened very patiently and said: "The general is at Jingchenxuan."
"Ah... that... that..."
He scratched his head and suddenly had an idea, "I... will report it to you, husband, madam."
"No!"
Qing Lingyi doesn't want to hear it, this is Cheng Yang's business.
Unexpectedly, the guard put his feet together, straightened his body, and said: "The general has an order, and today he deliberately pretended to be lax in guarding, creating a gap to release Qingli. We did as he was told. However, when Qingli escaped, he stole A secret message from the house. I can’t make up my mind and don’t know what to do.”
Articulate clearly and speak at a moderate speed.
Qing Lingyi was stunned.
No... that little stutterer just now was taken away?
After the guard finished reporting, his shoulders slumped again, "Husband, madam, please... please give me instructions."
Yes, the little stutter is back.
It turns out that you can switch freely.
Qing Lingyi found it strange and asked, "What kind of secret message is that?"
"Letter from the General's friend."
"I'm afraid he's not a serious friend," Qing Lingyi didn't ask further, "I have to stop him."
I'm afraid Qingli realized that Chengyang let her out because he wanted to kill someone with a knife and see her die in the hands of others.
But if you have the secret message, you will have one more way to survive.
This woman is not stupid.
The guard said: "But... we don't have enough manpower. If Madam comes forward and mobilizes other guards... maybe we can find them faster."
"Is she still in the general's residence?"
"It seems...well," the guard said, "Listen to what she said, you must...take revenge first."
"Revenge? At the general's residence..." Qing Lingyi's eyes suddenly turned sharp as he spoke.
This crazy woman!
She strode forward and shouted: "Xiao Anle!"
There was no response.
Instead, Cheng Zheng Cheng Zheng was the first to hear the noise and trotted forward, "Aunt, what's wrong?"
"Where's Xiao Anle?"
"We were playing peek-a-boo and I haven't found her yet."
Looking at Qing Lingyi's expression, Cheng Zheng realized something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"
"A prisoner escaped."
Qing Lingyi turned to the guard again: "You go to Butler Wu, just say it's my wish, and you must find him as soon as possible. But don't make too much noise."
"yes."
Cheng Zheng was very nervous: "What kind of prisoner is that? If Xiao Anle encounters him, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
"Zhui Feng followed Xiao Anle, it should be fine." Cheng Jun also walked out.
Cheng Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this way," Qing Lingyi said, "let's search separately, find Xiao Anle as soon as possible, and bring him back to Yanshan Residence."
"good!"
Cheng Jun and Cheng Zheng each chose a direction to look for.
Qing Lingyi chose another one based on his first thoughts.
As they walked along, Qing Lingyi recalled what Cheng Yang said.
He asked her to remember what he said in the study. Could it be about Qingli?
Did he expect that Qingli would steal the secret message and find Cheng Anle?
Thoughts were swirling, and suddenly, she heard a very quiet voice: "Mother——"
She followed the sound and looked.
A century-old locust tree was split open by lightning, but it didn't die. Most of it was leaning against the wall. The soaring flowers growing on the trunk spread along the way, taking advantage of the hot summer to spread the bright orange color on the wall.
The vines on the top of the flower wall were swaying, and a gap was opened, revealing Cheng Anle's bright and clear eyes.
Qing Lingyi's uneasiness finally subsided. He walked forward, raised his head and asked her, "Why did you get there?"
"I'm playing hide and seek with my brother," Cheng Anle said bluntly, "I'm hiding here, they will definitely not find me!"
Qing Lingyi smiled and said: "Don't talk about them, I can hardly find you."
"Mom, do you have anything to do with me?"
"The weather is hot and I want to make some ice and snow. Do you want to eat it?"
"eat!"
Cheng Anle loves to eat the most, and now he can't even care about hiding from dogs.
She retracted her head and said happily through the vine flowers: "I'll be down right away!"
Qing Lingyi reminded her: "Be careful."
"I'm very powerful!" Cheng Anle said.
Qing Lingyi suddenly remembered the past, when her mother was still there and she was still young.
She used to be very naughty and loved to run around and climb up and down.
Every time the wet nurse was extremely worried, fearing that she would fall, be hurt, or be injured, and would tell her to come down quickly and stop climbing.
But my mother just looked at it with a smile and said, "Yeah, be careful not to fall to death!"
Qing Lingyi's eyes were as gentle as water.
"So, you hid my daughter here!"
A vicious voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Qing Lingyi paused in thought, frowned, and looked back.
Qingli is even thinner and dirty. She doesn't even want to act now, her face is full of meanness and hatred.
Cheng Anle crawled along the vine to the bottom, jumped lightly, and stood on the ground.
Qingli looked over and smiled kindly: "Anle!"
Qing Lingyi moved her steps to block her view.
"What are you doing?" Qingli glared.
"Protect my daughter." Qing Lingyi looked cold.
Cheng Anle hid behind her, a little scared, grabbed her finger, and asked timidly: "Mother, who is she?"
Qing Lingyi lowered his head.
Before she could explain, Qingli opened her mouth and said, "I am your mother!"
Cheng Anle retorted: "You're not!"
"I'm not?!" Qingli was angry, "What a heartless little bitch!"
Qing Lingyi frowned and covered Cheng Anle's ears in time.
Old Mrs. Xue was more comfortable with the same curse words, but Qingli's was just a series of swear words, which was really vulgar and bad.
She raised her voice: "Ji Fanzhi!"
Upon hearing this name, Qingli was still frightened and shrank up in panic.
But the young guard did not show up.
Qing Lingyi was stunned, Cheng Yang didn't leave him to her?
Qingli also realized this and started sarcastically: "General Cheng has never cared about women. Who do you think you are?! Send someone to protect you? It's ridiculous!"
Qing Lingyi said nothing.
"Give me my daughter back!"
"Isn't it too late for you to raise her now?"
"Raise her?" Qingli sneered, "What's the use of raising a little girl? She's not General Cheng's biological daughter, so she'll die! The only use is to sell her into a flower house and be played by dignitaries in the future! "
Qing Lingyi frowned and covered Cheng Anle's ears more tightly.
"Pay it back to me quickly! Otherwise I'll kill you!" Qingli threatened.
But Qing Lingyi smiled, "Are you serious about threatening me at my house?"
She reminded: "The current situation is that if you hand over the secret message, I will spare your life."
"Go ahead and daydream about the blue sky!" Qingli didn't take her threat to heart.
"Then I understand."
Qing Lingyi bent down, picked up Cheng Anle, put her head on her shoulders, and coaxed softly: "Don't watch next."
A strong wind blows from the west, carrying the faint roar of beasts.
Qingli ignored it and shouted insults: "You are still pretending! You bitch who has no father and no mother, just wait for me! I have this secret message. I will escape later and seek shelter from my enemies in the General's Mansion. I …”
Suddenly, a huge force hit her back, and she was knocked to the ground. She landed on her face, the bridge of her nose was broken, and she was in burning pain.
He struggled to turn his head, but all he saw was a bloody mouth with sharp fangs, a scarlet tongue, and still dripping with thick saliva!
Qing Lingyi said calmly: "She is unwilling to hand over the secret letter. Dabai, just eat it."
