Chapter 947 (1/2)
When all the ministers in the imperial study heard this, their faces changed greatly. Xie Heng also suddenly stood up. As soon as he was about to ask questions, he saw Xie Yu strode forward, grabbed the skirt of the man who rushed into the internal report, and asked in a hurry, ”what did you just say?”
The third childe's face turned white and his voice trembled. He insisted and asked, ”who's red?”
The skirt of the Qing Yi guard who reported the news was carried by Xie Xuan, and his face turned purple. He replied with some difficulty: ”Mo, Mo Yi Hou!”
”Ah Xuan! Let him go first.” Xie Heng calmed down and called his fourth childe, and then said to the Qingyi guard, ”tell me what's going on. This man is fine. Why is he gone?”
The ministers also looked unbelievable and talked one after another: ”this war has been fought and they have come back. Didn't they say they will return to Dijing right away a few days ago?”
”I didn't say I was seriously injured before...”
Xie Xuan was tight and didn't let go. Seeing this, two young ministers on the side hurriedly came forward and pulled him away, and whispered, ”Lord Shoufu let go of his hand first and let him speak clearly.”
As soon as he loosened his hand, the wet Qingyi guard knelt on the ground, ”your majesty! When the Moyi Marquis was crossing the Yujiang Prefecture, the mountain flood broke out when the army passed through, and the rainstorm burst the embankment. He and he were washed away by the flood in order to save people...”
No one expected that people who could not take their lives on the battlefield would be killed in such a mountain flood.
The whole imperial study was terribly quiet.
The Qingyi guard raised his hand to wipe the rain on his face, choked and continued: ”the soldiers have been looking for it for several days, and only got this in the flood.”
He said, taking down the silver gun and a peace talisman the size of a sachet on his back and presenting them with both hands, ”these two things are things that the Mo Yi Hou never leaves his body, but...”
The silver gun was recognized by everyone. It was a descendant of Ye Zhiqiu. He used it to kill the enemy and fled at the sight of the wind.
And the other thing, only Xie Yu knows.
The chief assistant, who has always paid the most attention to manners, turned red at the moment when he saw the broken and dirty peace talisman.
He took it with trembling hands, rubbed it, and took out a piece of jade to match it
The earth fell apart in an instant.
Xie Xuan shook his body. He almost couldn't stand steadily. He gritted his teeth and barely stopped. His whole handsome face was as white as paper.
”Did you give the jade pendant to Xiaoye before?” Xie Heng, who was after the imperial case, didn't expect this. He quickly got up and went to help him. He saw the jade pendant in the hands of the third childe nearby and confirmed that it was worn by the childe of the Xie family since childhood and used to give it to his sweetheart Xu.
He pondered for a moment before he said, ”even such things are away from him. Is Xiaoye really...”
”No!” Xie Xuan interrupted in a deep voice, holding the tattered peace talisman and jade pendant tightly, turned and said to the outside of the door, ”prepare a horse! I want to leave for yujiangzhou immediately!”
As he spoke, he brushed away his elder brother's hand holding his shoulder and went out.
Xie Heng frowned and said, ”what are you going to do? So many people can't find it. You can find it?”
”I......” Xie Xuan pursed her lips and said with great certainty, ”I can find it.”
Just as Xie Heng wanted to speak about him, he heard the third childe's voice dumb, almost paranoid and said, ”I can just find it!”
Before the sound fell, he turned and ran into the heavy rain.
The waiter outside the door was frightened and hurriedly ran after him with an umbrella. ”Lord Shoufu! Lord Shoufu, slow down! It's such a heavy rain!”
