Chapter 679: 1 emperor and 1 courtier
Chapter 679: 1 emperor and 1 courtier
Ming Sanniang felt uneasy, thinking about how heartbroken he was when they broke off the engagement.
As long as they're not here to settle scores with her, it's fine.
Now that she has Pang Qingping, even if that man still has her in his heart, she will not betray the general.
Just let him be her brother and he can support her.
Ming Sanniang was completely relieved. She told the servants to clean up and returned to the backyard in a good mood.
Pang Qingping began to ask King Cheng about the purpose of his visit.
Yun Zheng had already made plans, so she got straight to the point:
“To be honest, I came to Pingnan County this time to look for the remains of the Emperor’s eldest grandson and his child. I also heard that a nanny from the Emperor’s eldest grandson’s family was in Pingnan County, and she was the last person to have seen them.
The remains of the emperor's eldest grandson and his son were lost outside, and His Majesty was very concerned about them. When he got the news, he sent me here to look for them. Unfortunately, Nanny Zhao disappeared, so I wanted the general to help look for her. After all, I might not be able to find her in Pingnan County, but the general has been here for many years, so it must be easy for him to find her. "
Yun Zheng also praised him highly.
Since we suspect that Nanny Zhao was abducted by Pang Qingping, just hand the matter over to Pang Qingping.
"There is such a thing? Your Highness, to be honest, ever since I learned that the emperor's eldest grandson died in Pingnan County, I have been extremely worried and wanted to relieve your majesty's worries. Now that I have a clue, I will definitely do my best."
He is the prince, so just tell him to do it. Pang Qingping had nothing to say.
As for whether to hand over Nanny Zhao and when to hand her over, that depends on him.
It's enough to drag him around.
When I brought King Cheng here, I knew that he would come to me for help sooner or later.
"Then I'll trouble you, General."
Yun Zheng didn't say much. Judging from the time, Kong Ren should have finished his work.
So he said goodbye and prepared to leave.
Kong Ren had indeed successfully handed the letter to the manager of the Bai family, asking him to deliver it to the captain of Daliushu Village in Tongxu County.
And when he was leaving, he also met Marquis Wu'an.
Wu Anhou actually came here to eat hotpot.
Ever since Pang Rong put his mind to rest, he has been thinking about returning to Beijing as soon as possible. He knew that he was planning to leave early.
This way I can see him earlier.
This time when he returned to the capital, he planned to ask for the title of Crown Prince for Pang Qingping, hand over his military power, become an idle marquis, and accompany his son in the capital.
Of course, he also had to find an opportunity to pretend that he had found a miracle doctor to heal his brain and become a normal person from then on.
In this way, he can marry, have children and live a normal life.
By then, he will be enjoying the company of his mother, and if possible, he can also give birth to a child from his descendants to continue the Pang family's bloodline.
that's enough.
Pang Rong likes the taste of this hot pot. Most of the people in the army love food, and the taste of this hot pot makes them addicted.
He liked it after eating it once, and he missed it a little after not coming for a few days.
I had nothing to do today, so I brought my servant here.
When Kong Ren saw the Marquis coming, he remembered his master's instructions to reveal the affairs of Qinghe County to the Marquis, so he returned to the private room.
Coincidentally, the Marquis was arranged to stay in the private room next door.
Kong Ren looked around but didn't find any secret guards or the like following the Marquis.
Thinking about the Marquis's attire today, I guess he came out quietly.
So I felt relieved and continued drinking and chatting with my brothers.
But the content of this chat became sensitive.
"Brother, why do you think our Marquis suddenly stopped caring about things? Now the general is in charge of everything. Why do I feel something is wrong?"
"I've also noticed that the people in charge of many places have been replaced. Isn't this the saying that a new emperor chooses new officials?"
"General Pang is too bold. The Marquis is still in Pingnan County and has not resigned yet, yet he dares to do this."
"Hey, so what? The Marquis has no sons, only this one adopted son. Sooner or later, everything will belong to the general. Moreover, for so many years, the general has always been at the forefront of work. The general is very capable. I think the Marquis is right to delegate power to the general."
"That's true. By the way, hasn't the plague in Qinghe County been eradicated yet? Why haven't those people returned home yet? There are also seriously ill people guarding them. I want to go home to take a look but I can't get in."
"That's right. No matter how good the outside world is, it's still home. Alas, I don't know whether the Marquis or the General is in charge of the affairs in Qinghe County. I don't know when it will end. Who should I ask?"
"It doesn't matter who's in charge. They are father and son, and they are the same."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, they are not biological father and son. Even if they are, they still have different opinions."
.......
The two of them spoke quietly, and floated to the next room vaguely.
Pang Rong next door was still waiting for his food. After all, the business was booming and there were a lot of people, and he was a little bored.
I heard people talking next door. I didn't pay attention at first, but vaguely heard words like "Marquis" and "General", so I pricked up my ears and listened carefully.
Upon hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and stood up.
He wanted to go next door to ask, but when he got there, he found that no one was there.
Is Qinghe County still under siege?
Why didn't he know about this?
No one around him told him about it.
Could it be that the people around him have also started to have second thoughts?
Pang Rong became suspicious and lost his appetite.
Thinking about the people around him, most of them were those who were trained later and the old people who followed him to conquer the world, and most of them sacrificed their lives.
As for the remaining few, some were injured and some were disabled, he let them go home to recuperate for a while.
As for those who were trained, they were all trained by Pang Qingping himself and sent to his mansion personally.
He never doubted his son.
Over the years, he has never made any mistakes, has done his best, and has been obedient to his instructions.
Therefore, he trusted him very much, and he was in charge of many matters in the Marquis' Mansion.
Today he sneaked out from the back door because he suddenly fell ill a while ago and the doctor told him to eat less meat and greasy food and more light food.
He had been eating light food for many days in a row, and his mouth was almost dry.
In the past, if he wanted to eat something strong, the doctor would go and complain to his son, and he would inevitably be lectured by his son.
He just thought that this godson cared about him and did it for his own good.
Although I knew he meant well, I was really greedy and didn't want to listen to his chatter, so I had to sneak out.
He also knew that there was someone following him, and he thought it was his godson who sent someone to protect his safety for his own good.
But as an old general who goes into battle to kill enemies, how could he not get rid of a few secret guards?
So, tonight, he shook off the secret guards and came sneakily.
Now that I think about it, there really were problems everywhere.
Why didn't he feel it before?
Pang Rong was horrified and stood up to leave, but he returned and sat down to eat the meal.
As expected, Pang Qingping came to the door early the next morning when he returned home after dinner.
"Father, where did you go last night? I was so worried."
Pang Qingping had a worried look on his face, with a strong expression of filial piety written all over his face.
