Chapter 197: People from Miao territory
Meng Qianqian found a forest and tied the horse.
"Tan'er, wait for me here, I'll follow you and have a look."
"Well, I want to go with my sister."
Meng Qianqian touched her temples: "Shangguan Ling is not a vegetarian. The two of us have too big a target and are easy to be discovered. Besides, the person he can treat with such caution is by no means an ordinary person. Be careful in everything."
Tan'er pouted and hesitated for a moment: "Okay."
Meng Qianqian smiled slightly: "What an obedient child."
Tan'er said: "Ni, please come back soon."
Meng Qianqian said: "I promise you, I will only go there for half an hour. Whether I find you or not, I will go back to the forest to find you."
After a pause, he thought of something, and then warned, "If you encounter any danger, flee back to the city quickly without waiting for me."
Although Tan'er was unwilling to leave Meng Qianqian behind, she still responded in a low voice: "I know."
Meng Qianqian touched her head again, quietly walked out of the forest, and hid in a bush diagonally opposite the inn.
Meng Qianqian waited and waited. Just when she thought she might not be able to wait today, there was a slight vibration on the ground.
She put her ear to the ground and heard the sound of horse hooves and wheels.
Coming!
Meng Qianqian held her breath and pressed her body down again.
After about ten breaths, a group of people gradually approached. There were not many, twenty or thirty, and there was only one carriage.
However, what surprised Meng Qianqian was that they were all dressed up as Miao people.
Shangguan Ling's reaction was more respectful than she expected. He actually stepped forward and opened the curtain for the other party.
The first man to come down was a man in his twenties. He had a handsome appearance, a majestic air, a kind face, and an aura of dignity and elegance.
Next came a pretty and delicate girl.
The girl called the man brother.
Somehow, Meng Qianqian vaguely felt that the girl's appearance seemed familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Shangguan Ling's back was turned to Meng Qianqian, and Meng Qianqian couldn't see his expression clearly. She could only feel that his body was slightly stiff for a moment.
But only for a moment.
If she hadn't spent so much time with Shangguan Ling, she probably wouldn't have noticed anything strange about him.
It seemed that he was not waiting for these siblings.
"Who are you? Why are you waiting for us here?"
The girl asked calmly.
At this time, the man she called brother took a few steps forward, revealing the silver-moon scimitar on his waist.
Meng Qianqian's attention was attracted by the scimitar and she couldn't help but look at it twice.
Shangguan Ling cupped his hands and replied: "My Excellency, Shangguan Ling, is here to greet the distinguished guests by order of the Prime Minister."
The girl raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother, what did I say? We haven't even reached the capital yet, and the flatterers are already waiting!"
The man said gently and elegantly: "My little sister is just joking, please don't take it to heart, Sir Shangguan."
Shangguan Ling said hurriedly: "I don't dare."
Meng Qianqian was even more puzzled. After all, Shangguan Ling was also a commander of the Royal Guards, but his posture was so low. Who were they?
The man said to Shangguan Ling Wen: "My grandfather encountered something on the way and delayed his trip, so he asked me and my little sister to go to Beijing first."
The weather was hot, so Shangguan Ling invited the two of them into a wing of the inn to talk.
Jinyiwei surrounded the station layer by layer and stood ready.
Meng Qianqian frowned and decided not to alert the enemy yet.
"elder sister!"
When Tan'er saw that Meng Qianqian was back, she immediately threw away the dogtail grass that she had been chewing for half an hour, "Are you ready?"
Meng Qianqian nodded: "He is from Miaojiang."
Tan'er frowned: "Is it Miao Jiangdi again?"
Meng Qianqian decided to tell Lu Yuan immediately after returning: "It's getting late, let's go to the grave."
The two returned the same way. Opposite the first inn, there was only one mountain, which they had just walked through, but there was a small hill a hundred feet to the east.
Meng Qianqian decided to give it a try, but never thought that she would actually find it.
"Purple Bamboo Forest, unmarked monument, it must be this tomb."
It had been too long since anyone had paid homage to the deceased, and the grave was overgrown with weeds. Meng Qianqian cleaned it up one by one, and together with Tan'er, burned paper money, lit incense and kowtowed to the deceased as a junior.
It was already night when we returned to the capital.
Tan'er's whole body was hollowed out, and she lay on the horse's back, sticking out her tongue, rolling her eyes, and breathing more out than in.
Meng Qianqian smiled helplessly: "There is a place with good mutton soup ahead."
Tan'er sat up instantly and left in high spirits.
Meng Qianqian gave the boy ten coppers and asked him to feed the horse.
As soon as the two sat down, they heard a scream from behind: "Xiao Yinhu, why is it you again? Are you following us?"

Tan'er turned around, put her hands on her hips and said, "How can Ni, this chicken, follow Ni?"
Ji Li's face was serious: "Don't call me chicken!"
Tan'er: "Cock-cock-cock, cock-cock-cock, cock-cock-cock-cock-cock!"
Ji Li: "...!"
Meng Qianqian curled her lips, held Tan'er's hand and walked over, sitting down at the table where Sishe and Ji Li sat.
She sat opposite Si She, and Tan'er sat opposite Ji Li.
"You don't mind?"
she asked.
Si She said: "Whatever."
Ji Li: "I mind!"
Meng Qianqian glanced at the white-faced steamed buns on the table: "I'm treating you."
Ji Li: "Waiter, add five bowls of mutton soup!"
Tan'er and Ji Li buried their heads in eating.
Si Snake eats very gracefully, and it seems that it has not been snatched by anyone.
"Are you worried?"
Sishe suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Meng Qianqian was slightly startled.
Something Yin Hu said to her suddenly flashed through her mind: "Si snake's eyes are the most poisonous, never lie in front of him."
Si She said: "I don't want to say it, just pretend I didn't ask."
Meng Qianqian thought about it and felt that there was nothing she could not say about it, but she changed the secret stalking to an accidental bumping into him.
This is also simple, just tell the place where you visit the grave a little further away.
After Sishe heard this, she paused and asked, "Is it the silver-moon scimitar with seven gems inlaid on the scabbard?"
Meng Qianqian was surprised: "Yes, have you seen it?"
Si She said: "I went to Miao Territory when I was looking for Chenlong, and I was lucky enough to see it once. It is a family heirloom of King Miao. Only King Miao and his heirs are qualified to wear it. He should be the young master of Miao Territory and the grandson of King Miao. "
Meng Qianqian gasped.
She guessed that the people Xun Xiangguo was recruiting had a lot of background, but she didn't expect them to be so big.
After the Chu family disappeared, the military power at the border gradually fell into the hands of Prime Minister Xun, and the court was also controlled by his people. If he were to win over King Miao again at this time, they might really have no chance of winning.
"King Miao?" Tan'er held the bowl in both hands and tilted her head, "Don't he only have a daughter? When will he have a grandson?"
Ji Li clicked his tongue: "Do you still know about Miao Jiang?"
Tan'er hummed, "Well, I know it!"
Si She said: "King Miao indeed only has one biological daughter, but it is said that his daughter has no descendants. His son is an adopted son, and the young master of Miao Jiang is his adopted grandson." (End of this chapter)
