Lian Jirou looked at the prince. He was originally a man of wealth, but now he was sitting on the ground like a country man, eating rough farm food.

The shoes under her feet were Xina's shoes from a city peasant woman, but they were already covered with dirt and had been turned into clods by the sun, and the original color could not be seen clearly.

His hair was also a little disheveled, and his clothes were stained with dirty stains and grass clippings. How could he still look like the prince of the current dynasty?

Even for such a person, his face is still unparalleledly handsome, and even though he has a slight aura of abjection, it cannot hide the elegance of a nobleman born with him.

But Li Yunxing didn't look disgusted at all. Instead, he was cheerful and seemed to enjoy this kind of life.

She felt a little sour in her heart, and remembered what she had just said: "Your Highness, you are really..."

Li Yunxing raised his head and looked at Lian Jirou, indicating, "Sit down and eat too."

Lian Jirou was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then sat down, picked up her chopsticks and took a bite.

However, she felt that these wild vegetables seemed to be particularly delicious when eaten with His Royal Highness, so she couldn't help but pick up a few more pieces.

The two of them had a slow lunch with simple pickles.

There is quite a feeling of mutual support.

After eating, Li Yunxing asked, "How many days have it been since the personal guards were sent out?"

Mentioning this matter, Lian Jirou couldn't help but frown.

"It's already the sixth day when I get back to the prince."

The people in the city were holding their breath, waiting for the support grain and grass to be delivered to Zhijiang City.

In order to ensure that the grain and grass could arrive on time, Li Yunxing even sent two personal guards to go to Su Zhaoyang with his own handwritten letter, asking him to deliver the grain and grass to Zhijiang as soon as possible.

But after so long, not even a single message has been sent back, let alone reinforcements.

Li Yunxing's face darkened.

Lian Jirou also knew what he was worried about, so he hurriedly advised: "Prince, don't worry, maybe it was delayed by the heavy rain a few days ago."

Li Yunxing nodded and said nothing more.

But I understood in my heart that if it hadn't been for a problem, how could it have been delayed for so long.

The next morning, a personal guard hurried in.

Seeing his panic, Li Yunxing hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

The man gasped for a while before saying, "Your Highness, there is something wrong with the food and fodder... the food and fodder!"

Li Yunxing stood up suddenly: "What's the problem?"

The guard swallowed his saliva and said, "Prince, please go outside the city and have a look!"

He really couldn't figure out how to explain it, so he had to take Li Yunxing and walk out of the city.

At this time, in the woods only a hundred steps away from the city, a military horse had been whipped for days until it was exhausted and fell straight to the ground. It was obviously exhausted from running day and night.

Several farmers nearby were carrying a Lian family guard and dragging him to a haystack to rest.

Li Yunxing recognized it from a distance. This was one of the personal guards he sent out. Why did only one of them come back? Or was he covered with injuries?

It turned out that this man was discovered by several farmers in the city.

It dawned early in the summer, and after they woke up and ate two simple steamed buns, they were ready to leave the city. Now they were preparing to divide the canal. The sediment dug yesterday had not yet been cleaned, so they decided to set off first.

As soon as I left the city, my sharp eyes spotted a military horse lying in the distance. When I looked closer, I discovered that there was a person lying next to it.

The man had obviously fallen off his horse, his lips were split open, and his clothes were torn, revealing stains of blood inside. He was obviously seriously injured.

There were still traces of crawling on the sand under his body. He was less than a hundred steps away from the city gate, but he couldn't stand up and could only crawl towards the city gate with his hands on his hands.

But even with such efforts, he failed to achieve his wish.

Several farmers saw that this man looked familiar and seemed to be Li Yunxing's personal guard. They didn't know what to do, so they sent a message to the soldiers guarding the city and asked them to report to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Unexpectedly, the guard shouted "food..." while half-conscious, and then fainted again.

Until Li Yunxing arrived, they had just fed the guard some water and were about to take it to the pharmacist's shop in the city.

"What's going on?" Li Yunxing stepped forward, and everyone consciously parted ways.

"His Royal Highness, the people said that he faintly shouted the word "food" and then passed out again. I just checked the traces on his body and it seems that he had been fighting with others. There were two arrow wounds on his back and many knife wounds on his body.

, The small wounds have scabbed over, and they seem to be traces from two days ago." The guard on the side stepped forward to check.

This must have been a life-and-death struggle, otherwise the injury would not have been so serious.

This personal guard was going along the official road from Zhijiang County to Yangzhou, and had almost met Su Zhaoyang's team two days ago.

"Is it King Zhaoyang? How dare he do this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's people?!" The guard clenched his fist angrily.

Li Yunxing sneered: "King Zhaoyang? Where did he get the courage?"

Then he continued: "Only if he is crazy, he would dare to kill someone from this palace!"

This sword wound looked random. King Zhaoyang was surrounded by elite soldiers of the Liu family. If he wanted to kill someone, he would not use such poor sword skills.

Moreover, King Zhaoyang's foundation is still shallow. Killing these two personal guards will not do him any good. Instead, he will become enmity with Li Yunxing.

King Zhaoyang is not like Li Yuntian, the kind of person who wants to kill everyone, so naturally he will not do such stupid things.

"This should be caused by bandits or miscellaneous soldiers. The knife wounds are messy and the two arrows on the back did not hit the vital points. This is enough to show that the opponent is not a well-trained elite soldier. It is very likely that he encountered bandits."

Li Yunxing calmly analyzed the situation. Although it was not King Zhaoyang's fault, it only meant that the situation was more complicated than he thought.

"Send him to the hospital quickly and revive him as soon as possible. I want to know the most accurate news."

He hoped that the real situation was not the worst outcome he could have imagined - that all the food and grass had been robbed.

This news is definitely bad news for Zhijiang, where food is scarce and the people are suffering.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Lian Jirou listened for a long time before hesitatingly shouted.

Li Yunxing turned to look at her, "What's wrong?"

Lian Jirou pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to return to the capital. The Lian family's personal guards will escort His Highness the Crown Prince to leave. My little daughter is willing to stay and be the queen."

What kind of bandit dares to rob an official's grain truck?

The situation in Jingzhou is complex, with various forces competing here.

Zhijiang County is only a small county. If someone intends to harm the prince, a few personal guards may not be enough to see him.

Lian Jirou didn't want the prince to take risks, so he wanted to send him away first to avoid causing trouble.

Li Yunxing narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Lian Ji Judo, "Don't say this again. I will never leave the people to live alone. What's more, this time the food and grass were intercepted, it was strange. If there is no solution, I will
