MTL - Raising Wolves-v2 Chapter 35

Lu Qing slept very peacefully this night.

In the dream, there seemed to be a gentle breeze, accompanying him until dawn.

When I woke up, my spirits, which had been exhausted from not sleeping well in the past few days, were much better.

With no one around, Ning Juan got up early.

Although the matter of Pan Jingmin has come to an end, there is still more to be dealt with by His Majesty the Emperor.

Lu Qing was awake for a long time, and felt that something was different in the room. He pinched his brows and accelerated the speed of his body. He lowered his head to look, and finally found the difference.

There was more ice in the room, exuding a cool chill, which reduced the heat in the room a lot.

Where did the ice come from?

Lu Qing squinted and guessed whose handwriting it was. He got up, washed his face, brushed his teeth with his homemade toothbrush, and opened the door.

Chen Xiaodao, who was full of food and sleep, was already strolling outside, intending to chat with Big Brother Anwei.

Lu Qing leaned against the door to observe, and said with a smile: "Xiaodao, you are in good spirits."

The dark guard is different from the ordinary guards. Chen Xiaodao, who has always been unfavorable for the first time, has been stunned for the first time. He is trying to make persistent efforts when he hears the voice and turns his head energetically: "Young master is awake, do you want to have breakfast now? "

Lu Qing had no appetite and shook his head: "Where's Your Majesty?"

Chen Xiaodao didn't see his action: "Your Majesty went to Jianchang Mansion to inspect. Before leaving, let the kitchen cook mung bean soup to cool off the heat... By the way, there is also watermelon! Now it is in the well water, and His Majesty ordered me to keep an eye on it. You, you can only eat two pieces."

Lu Qing didn't have time to protest the treatment that he could only eat two pieces of ice watermelon, so he was surprised: "Where did you get the watermelon?"

The farmland in this area was flooded. Could it be that Ning Juan made people run three hundred miles at night to buy watermelons elsewhere?

Chen Xiaodao laughed and said: "It was sent to the official office by a few old farmers this morning. The watermelon was planted on the mountain and survived the disaster. The old uncles were hiding at home, thinking that they had no food to eat. After His Majesty arrived in Jiangyou, the victims of the disaster. They were all able to eat. They were grateful for His Majesty's kindness and brought watermelons in a cart. They were all big and round. Jinyiwei checked and confirmed that they were correct before they were sent to the official office. already."

Lu Qing's heart was complicated and somewhat relieved.

Just as he was talking, the mung bean soup from the kitchen was also delivered, as well as the cut watermelon.

It was so hot that I was sweating while sitting. Chen Xiaodao looked at the iced watermelon and couldn't help swallowing: "Your Majesty said to keep a few good ones, and the rest will be rewarded, and ask what you mean."

Lu Qing thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't have to worry about uneven distribution, there are so many people, a carload of watermelons is not enough, the weather is so hot, and everyone is working equally hard. If you are dissatisfied with this or that, you will also have some complaints against Your Majesty. "

Chen Xiaodao was so hot that his brain was clouded. He just wanted to eat watermelon, but he didn't think much about it. Hearing that, he was stunned and scratched his head: "Then what should I do?"

Lu Qing turned his head and glanced at the ice basin by the bed: "Where did this ice come from?"

"The families of the wealthy businessmen who were caught by Jin Yiwei yesterday," Chen Xiaodao had already inquired about it, showing a look of schadenfreude, "Your Majesty asked Commander Zheng to check it out early in the morning... ah no, I went to ask politely, Those people are also very acquainted, and obediently opened their own ice cellar, and they were moved away by the commander Zheng."

No wonder.

Lu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Although Ning Juan has a distinguished status, because of his childhood experience, he is not so particular about the cost of food and clothing. If it weren't for him, it is estimated that he would not have set his sights on the ice cellar of the profiteer's house.

But it also made it easier for him.

Seeing that Chen Xiaodao was too greedy, Lu Qing pushed the watermelon plate in front of him to him: "Let the kitchen peel all the watermelons, cut them into a bucket, add ice cubes and a little mint leaves to crush the juice, and add water. Mix it with sugar, adjust the taste, and give it to everyone to taste while it's cool, that's what Your Majesty meant."

Not everyone can eat watermelon, so drink iced watermelon juice.

Chen Xiaodao bit the watermelon and nodded with bright eyes: "Young master's method is good, then you can eat first, and I will go to Commander Zheng."

"Don't worry, eat it first and then talk about it." Lu Qing drank the mung bean soup to relieve the heat, "Why didn't Commander Zheng go to Jianchang Mansion with His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty said that you are not at ease. Let Commander Zheng stay and protect you."

Lu Qing was speechless: "I'm staying in the government office, what can I do? I heard that many people in Jiangyou were forced to turn into robbers, looting in various places, and the food shipped to other prefectures was almost robbed. Who is at risk?"

Chen Xiaodao didn't have the guts to beep His Majesty the Emperor, and simply concentrated on eating melons: "Then you have to tell His Majesty that we can't beat His Majesty."

Lu Qing drank the rest of the mung bean soup, ate another piece of iced watermelon, and wiped the corners of his lips: "Let's go, I'll find Commander Zheng with you."

Although Zheng Yao came to Jiangyou, he has always been running errands, but in essence, his main duty is to protect His Majesty the Emperor, so he lives not far from Lu Qingze and Ning Juan's yard.

The two of them searched, but they didn't see any other Jin Yiwei on the way. They stepped into the yard, only to find that everyone was surrounded by them, and from time to time bursts of cheers erupted.

I don't even know what I'm looking at.

Chen Xiaodao liked to watch the fun, and eagerly squeezed up: "Brothers, what are you doing? Let me take a look."

During the half month that he took the boat south from the capital, Chen Xiaodao became acquainted with Jin Yiwei on the boat. Everyone knew him, and they greeted him lively when they saw him coming.

Turning their heads again, they found that Lu Qingze was also here, and everyone quickly gave way: "Lord Lu!"

"What's the matter with Mrs. Lu coming here?"

Lu Qing felt that the mask was a little hot from the sun, and waved his hand painfully: "It's a little bit of a matter to find Commander Zheng."

As everyone separated, Lu Qing saw the scene inside.

It turned out that Zheng Yao was competing with Lin Xi.

Both of them were holding unbladed knives, probably because they were too hot. Zheng Yao took off his shirt, his bronze muscles were bulging, and the scars on his body looked quite intimidating.

In contrast, the thin and thin Lin Xi looked like a little chicken. Fortunately, although he was not as strong as Zheng Yao, he was better at dexterity, and he was not at a disadvantage under Zheng Yao's offensive.

Someone shouted a reminder: "Boss! Lord Lu is here!"

From the first time he met Lin Xi, Zheng Yao wanted to learn from him. He was busy like a top a few days ago, and he didn't have time at all. Even if he had time, he would not dare to mess around with Ning Juan, and he finally got the chance. Now, in the midst of his excitement, he was reluctant to part with the battle, and he didn't turn his head back: "Brother Lu, don't hurry, don't hurry, wait for me for a while!"

Lu Qing was dizzy from the sun, and admired Zheng Yao's energy. He avoided the shadows and nodded with a smile: "You are busy first."

Zheng Yao said "hey", in order not to make Lu Qing wait for him too long, the offensive suddenly became more violent.

No matter how powerful Lin Xi is, he is still a half-year-old. Just now, Zheng Yao didn't show his true skills. Now, under the claws of Zheng Yao, an old fried dough stick, he was suddenly a little weak, and he accidentally revealed some flaws.

Even a knife without an edge was very powerful in Zheng Yao's hand. Hearing a stab, Lin Xi's clothes suddenly burst into a hole. Even if Zheng Yao changed his split to a slap in time, he hit him with a "slap". The strength on Lin Xi's shoulders was not small.

Zheng Yao quickly withdrew his hand: "Hey, I'm sorry Brother Lin, I forfeited my strength."

Lin Xi's face showed a tinge of pain, covering his shoulders and shaking his head gently.

Lu Qing also saw his eyebrows tremble.

Zheng Yao's strength was like a bear. After this time, Lin Xi's bones were fine, but his shoulders would probably be swollen for a while.

Zheng Yao felt guilty. As soon as he stretched out his hand, someone handed over the medicated oil. He unplugged the stopper and took off Lin Xi's clothes carelessly: "It shouldn't hurt any bones. I'll rub some medicated oil for you. This is our Beizhen Fu. Good things that have been passed down from generation to generation, if you rub them on, they will heal in three or five days."

Lin Xi was beaten, and his brows did not wrinkle. When he pulled his clothes, his face turned red, and he shook his head wildly, but he still couldn't speak, and he met Zheng Yao, the most reckless man among the reckless men.

Zheng Yao wouldn't give up when he shook his head.

Lin Xi was so anxious that he was about to cry, clutching his collar, like a good family man and woman being robbed in broad daylight, looking desperately at Lu Qing and asking for help.

Lu Qing also couldn't stand it anymore. Lin Xi would be very shy if there were a little more people. At first glance, he looked like a shy child who was a little afraid of the society. Wouldn't this mean that the society would die.

He quickly walked out of the shady area and went over to dissuade him: "Brother Zheng, if you feel bad about it, just bring the medicated oil to Lin Xi and wipe it yourself. What are you doing taking off other people's clothes in public..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a thorn.

The surroundings were quiet for a moment.

Lin Xi's clothes were torn apart by Zheng Yao's bear power.

Lin Xi's face instantly turned completely red, and his pupils trembled violently.

Lu Qingze: "..."

Zheng Yao opened his mouth wide, let go of his hand innocently, and slowly flattened: "I just wanted to let go... Don't be angry with Brother Lin, I'll pay you three, no, thirty clothes!"

Lu Qing suddenly understood why Zheng Yao was always being trained by Ning Juan.

He looked at Lin Xi sarcastically, just as he was about to comfort him, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Under the torn clothes on Lin Xi's shoulders, a birthmark loomed.

Zheng Yao's eyes were sharp, he glanced at it, and his eyes stopped.

A conjecture appeared in the minds of the two of them.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, highly skilled in martial arts, with a crescent birthmark on his shoulder, also in the Jiangnan area...

Zheng Yao reacted very quickly, and immediately stepped forward, continued to pull Lin Xi, and kept apologizing: "Brother Lin, I really didn't mean it, don't mind, I'll ask someone to bring you new clothes, ah, this clothes If it has a special meaning for you, someone from Zheng will sew it for you today with an embroidery needle in hand, don’t look at me as a sloppy one, my embroidery is still very good, and it’s not a problem to sew and mend…”

In the chaos, Lin Xi twisted when he was dodging, and the birthmark on his shoulder became a little clearer when he was struggling.

There is indeed a crescent-shaped birthmark on his shoulder.

More than ten years ago, the Tartars and Oara jointly attacked, the Mobei war was chaotic, the Chong'an Emperor sat idly by, the court eunuchs were in chaos, Wu Guogong Shi Rongfeng reported his death on the front line, and secretly sent his own soldiers to **** the little prince back to Beijing. After the attack, all the personal soldiers died in the battle, but the body of the little prince was not seen.

In the original novel, the young and middle-aged son lived in the Jiangnan area and had a crescent-shaped birthmark on his shoulder.

Lin Xi was right.

In the original book, the protagonist found the little prince several years later, when the little prince could speak.

Could it be that Lin Xi's muteness was not born?

Lu Qing pondered for a while, but did not make a decision immediately. Seeing that Lin Xi was still pitifully hiding from Zheng Yao, he reached out and gently pulled Lin Xi behind him: "Brother Zheng, let go of Young Master Xiao Lin."

Lin Xi hid behind Lu Qingze, with tears in his eyes, showing the expression of Si being saved.

Lu Qing turned his head, patted the child's head pitifully, and glanced at his swollen shoulders: "It's so swollen, you have to rub the medicine quickly, if you don't want to be seen, just go to the house and rub it and change it. How about going back to the clothes?"

Lin Xi hesitated.

Lu Qing said warmly, "Your clothes are torn, you don't want Madam Yu and Miss Yu to worry, do you?"

After these words came out, Lin Xi nodded, carefully took the medicated oil that Zheng Yao handed over, and walked into the room with his shoulders covered.

Zheng Yao was not at ease, so he stretched his neck and said loudly, "Brother Lin, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you, why don't I clean it for you?"

Lin Xi was so frightened that she quickened her pace, swooped into the room and slammed the door.

Zheng Yao scratched his hair in confusion: "Am I that scary?"

More than scary.

For social terrorists like Lin Xi, you are simply terrifying.

Lu Qing shook his head helplessly: "Brother Zheng, you..."

Zheng Yao was sweaty and a little embarrassed in front of Lu Qingze.

Thinking about it, if His Majesty knew that he was not wearing a shirt in front of Lu Qing, would it be bad luck?

Zheng Yao's intuition is very sensitive in this regard, he quickly took the clothes handed over to him and put it on, and said in a low voice, "Brother Lu, you can see clearly just now, Brother Lin does have a crescent-shaped birthmark on his shoulder. Could it be the person His Majesty is looking for?"

Although it is not clear what kind of person His Majesty asked him to find, it is a good thing to be able to find someone by accident.

Lu Qing pondered for a while: "The age and physical characteristics are indeed consistent, but I have to confirm again. Xiaodao."

Chen Xiaodao snorted and ran over: "Master?"

"I have a task for you," Lu Qing patted Chen Xiaodao on the shoulder and entrusted him with the important task, "Go to Mrs. Yu and chat, ask about Lin Xi, and do it without showing any traces."

Chen Xiaodao couldn't be more suitable for this task.

Just to use his strengths, Chen Xiaodao came to the spirit and geared up: "Okay, I'll go over here, Young Master wait for me!"

Zheng Yao was happy, and ordered someone casually: "Bring a knife over there."

Seeing that Chen Xiaodao followed the person leading the way, Zheng Yao remembered another thing: "By the way, Brother Lu, did you come to see me just now?"

Lu Qing nodded: "It's something."

He told Zheng Yao about the watermelon. After Zheng Yao heard it, he clapped his hands and said, "That's a good idea! How can it be enough to order melons? On a hot day, anyone who doesn't want to have some ice can try it now. Watermelon smell. I'll ask someone to arrange it, don't worry."

Lu Qing followed him to the corridor, hiding from the poisonous sun, and couldn't help but remember Ning Juan: "When will your majesty come back?"

"I guess I'll be back later." Zheng Yao wiped his sweat, "Brother Lu, don't worry, Jianchang Mansion is not far from Ji'an Mansion, so there won't be any problems."

Lu Qing nodded, thinking about waiting for Ning Juan to come back and tell him about Lin Xi.

Originally, this trip to the south of the Yangtze River was only for disaster relief and to build prestige along the way. It was also an opportunity for Ning Juan to use his hands and feet.

The two chatted for a few words, Lin Xi also applied the medicated oil and came out of the room. Seeing Zheng Yao still outside, his pupils trembled again, and he signed fast: Thank you for the medicine, I will go first.

Lu Qing was also ready to leave, and said with a smile, "Let's leave together."

Although he has always been approachable, everyone seems to be a little nervous when they see him, and he doesn't mean to make people feel uncomfortable.

Lin Xi still had a good impression of Lu Qingze, the chick pecking at the rice nodded, and walked out of the yard with Lu Qingze, greatly relieved.

Lu Qing comforted him: "Commander Zheng has no malicious intentions, but people are more reckless, don't mind."

Lin Xi gestures: I know, but I'm not used to it.

Lu Qing was not in a hurry to go back and chatted with him: "Look at your martial arts skills, how old are you this year?"

Lin Xi is not defensive: Seventeen.

Lu Qing tentatively asked a few more questions, but some Lin Xi couldn't answer, and looked blank.

Although it was almost inseparable, Lu Qing didn't plan to tell Lin Xi about this before confirming his identity, so as not to be troubled by nothing. Seeing that the delay was almost over, he said goodbye to Lin Xi and walked back to the yard.

Because Ning Lian was not there, the next man couldn't make up his mind, so he sent all the documents to him, and he had to deal with it.

After not waiting too long, Chen Xiaodao came back with a bowl of watermelon ice water: "Sir, it's ready in the kitchen, it's really comfortable to drink, and it's more refreshing with mint added. Happy, I brought you a bowl too."

Lu Qing took it and took a sip. It was refreshing and icy cold in his throat. With the sweetness of watermelon, he took a sip, and the pores all over his body were opened. He drank half a bowl of coldness before looking at Chen. Xiaodao: "How's it going?"

Chen Xiaodao sat down and said: "Mrs. Yu is very good at prying open her mouth, but that girl is quite vigilant. It took me a little effort to find out that the missing Master Yu was in the north more than ten years ago. When I walked past the darts, it was at that time that Lin Xi was picked up. When he first picked up Lin Xi, he couldn't speak, was covered in blood, was dumb, and ignored people. Madam Yu thought he was a little fool."

"They found something on Lin Xi's body, and when they saw that he was covered in blood, they felt that his identity might be unusual. The couple were afraid that they would get into trouble. , Mrs. Yu still agreed to adopt him."

"But Lin Xi doesn't seem to remember anything. He never talked about his childhood experiences. After that, Yu Zheng went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to open a martial arts gym. It wasn't until last year that he brought his family back to his hometown, Ji'an."

Lu Qing exhaled.

All right.

However, in ancient times, there was no paternity test technology, and blood test was unreliable. Lin Xi was only five years old when he was lost, so he had to have a token to prove his identity.

Perhaps it was what the Yu family and his wife discovered on Lin Xi.

Chen Xiaodao guessed what Lu Qing was thinking: "Mrs. Yu said that the token was hidden by Master Yu, and she planned to tell Lin Xi about his childhood and return it to him after another two years, but now Master Yu is missing. I don't know where the stuff went..."

When it came to "missing", Chen Xiaodao was a little weak.

He also understood what happened before and after. It has been more than a month since Yu Zheng disappeared. How many chances are there to still be alive after falling off the cliff?

Although the people sent by Ning Juan did not find the body, in this weather, it may have been rotting, or it may have been washed away, or it may have been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains... Anyway, the probability of being alive is very slim.

Lu Qing rubbed his temples with a headache.

The battle in Mobei more than ten years ago had probably wiped out General Shi's trust and enthusiasm for the royal family. They brought Lin Xi to the general and told him that this was the young prince. Will General Shi believe it?

Even if Lin Xi's life background was explained clearly, 80% of General Shi would think that this was another conspiracy of the royal family, just to take away his military power.

Could it be that it is necessary to rely on the power of family affection that blood is thicker than water, and let the general and Lin Xi have some telepathy?

Forget it, let's wait for Ning Juan to come back and discuss it.

Lu Qing pulled back and nodded in appreciation to Chen Xiaodao: "It's amazing, Xiaodao, I can find out so much."

Chen Xiaodao raised his chest proudly, hehe smiled and scratched the tip of his nose: "Is your son helping His Majesty with official business, I'll sharpen the ink for you!"

Lu Qing said: "Just help with some sundries, and important documents have to wait for His Majesty to come back and deal with them."

After a pause: "The words 'helping His Majesty with official business' can be said in front of me, but not in front of others."

Chen Xiaodao also felt inappropriate and quickly responded.

As the sun gradually went down, the air was not so dull.

Chen Xiaodao sat with Lu Qingze all afternoon, sweating all over, and stood up dizzy: "Sir, I'll go to the kitchen to see what to eat tonight, and take a cold shower by the way."

"Go." Lu Qing dipped his pen in ink without raising his head, "Don't be greedy for the cold, be careful of the cold."

Not long after Chen Xiaodao left on the front foot, Zheng Yao came on the back foot.

"Something happened, Brother Lu!"

Zheng Yao walked with wind, strode into the house like a whirlwind, frowned, and spoke very fast: "Your Majesty should have come back at this hour, but he disappeared after a long time, so I sent someone along the road to Jianchang Mansion, and I bumped into a man. The passers-by said that a quarter of an hour ago, a group of people was robbed by a group of mountain bandits on the official road, according to the description, it is His Majesty!"

The pen in Lu Qingze's hand fell with a "pop", and his face changed instantly.

The author has something to say:

Guoguo: Although my chapter is not online, (in the eyes of the teacher) I am everywhere.
