"So the Great Zhou Kingdom will face an unprecedented disaster?" Shen Yuhu looked solemn.
"Yes!" Ji Xun's voice was full of worry, "I remember that there was a locust plague in the eighth year of Qi Heng, which caused a great famine in the whole country. In the end, it almost emptied the entire treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty to survive this disaster.'
After Ji Xun finished speaking, he led the horse and hitched the carriage: "Let's go to the county right now and ask Magistrate Sun about the situation in other counties."
"Ah?" Shen Yuyu was stunned for a moment, "This is a matter of the imperial court. How can we ordinary people have the qualifications to interfere?"
"Yes." Ji Xunying was sure, "My husband will tell you slowly on the way."
"Oh." Shen Yuyu responded, and after Ji Xun harnessed the horse, he followed him and got into the carriage.
As the carriage left the village, there were bewildered villagers everywhere on the roadside. Fortunately, in order to seal everyone's mouths, Mrs. Song paid almost 100 taels of silver to each villager, so there would be no problem in surviving this disaster year.
On the way to the county town, everything you could see was a mess, as if the whole world had suddenly turned dark and gloomy, which made you feel heavy.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. The entire country will suffer and there will be no harvest.
"Yu Yu, sit here." Ji Xun patted his side and said to Shen Yu Yu, who was sitting in the carriage and looking outside in a daze.
"Yeah." Shen Yuyu obediently sat down in the driver's seat.
Ji Xun held the reins with one hand and held her hand tightly with the other: "Yu Yu, listen to me, but you have to promise not to get angry before my husband speaks."
"Yes." Ji Xun nodded, "In the future, if you want to recognize your identity as a princess, it will all depend on this jade pendant."
"Okay. I promise." Shen Yue nodded.
"It's okay if you don't want to be Yu Yu. Don't you want to protect Ah Feng? Ah Feng is the prince of Daqi. Sooner or later, he will recover his memory and return to that position."
"Of course not." Ji Xuntang pinched her little nose with his hand, "When the time is right, I will find a way to restore the identities of Yu Yu and A Feng. At that time, my husband will go to Daqi as the Night King to propose marriage, and Shili Hongzhuang will marry him. you."
"Yeah, it seems pretty good." Shen Yue smiled and nodded.
"That's it." Shen Yue nodded.
Ji Xun rubbed her head: "Now we have to think of ways to help the people survive this disaster, hoping not so many people will starve to death.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, the county magistrate is discussing important matters with Governor Ding and I don't have time to see you." The yamen guard blocked them at the door.
Liu Huwei glanced at the jade pendant and said with a chuckle, "A farmer in the country picked up a jade pendant somewhere, but how can my elders like this kind of fineness?"
After a pause, he added: "Of course, before that, I was Ji Xun and you were Shen Yuyu. We were doing business and farming and living an ordinary life."
After returning to the county seat, I went directly to the county magistrate's office.
"But I don't want to be the princess of Daqi. I am from Shenjia Village and Dazhou.'
Ji Xun glanced at Liu Huwei coldly, took out Wei Jinyan's princess jade pendant and handed it to the Yamen servant, "Go and show it to the Lingzhou governor."
"Friend? What kind of friend is so ignorant of the rules? I told you that the Governor and Magistrate Sun were discussing matters inside and yet you dare to barge in?" Liu Weiwei saw Ji Xun's plain clothes and his eyes were filled with contempt.
Ji Xun didn't want to talk to him and stood silently aside. Shen Yuyu couldn't stand it any longer and sneered: "Oh? I don't like him? It seems like your family takes bribes a lot!"
Liu Huwei's expression changed when he heard this, "That's not what I meant~~ Huh, country women don't understand what they are saying, and they are too lazy to tell you. Two country bumpkins, please leave quickly." After saying that, he was about to push Ji Xun away.
I was slapped by someone.
"Well, Yu Yu is good." Ji Xunrou praised. There were some things that he felt no need to hide anymore. The Zhou Kingdom was about to suffer a large-scale locust plague. He could no longer hide in the countryside and turn a blind eye. He must return to the palace to help his father.
To lend a helping hand is his duty as a royal.
Ji Xun knew her confusion and explained: "A few months ago, I was defeated in a battle, which made me flee to Shenjia Village with scars~~Maybe I couldn't face the defeat~~I chose to live in seclusion." He still concealed some things.
After thinking about it, he wished that this unbearable past had never happened.
Ji Xun was silent and then said calmly, "My name is not Ji Xun~~ but my name is Wei Chenyi, the eldest son of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, Night King."
Ji Xundao said, "Go and tell Magistrate Sun that I have something urgent to come to see him."
Ji Xun continued: "And your father was shot by an arrow in order to protect me. Before he died, he gave me your mother's belongings and arranged a marriage between you and me." As he spoke, Ji Xun took something out of his pocket.
A jade pendant with concentric knots.
The yamen officer knew Ji Xun and was about to go in to report. At this time, someone heard a voice coming out of the house. He raised his chin slightly and looked at Ji Xun with disdain, "Who is this person? Dare to make a noise here?'
The yamen servant hurriedly smiled and said: "Sir, please calm down, I am a friend of the county magistrate." The lord the yamen servant mentioned was Liu Huwei who was beside Ding Wendong, the governor of Lingzhou.
Along the way, Ji Xun explained his identity, and Shen Yue easily accepted it. He was originally full of doubts about Ji Xun's identity, but now it became clear.
"Is this my mother's relic?" Shen Yuyu held it in his hand. When he touched the jade pendant, he felt a touch of emotion in his heart. He didn't know whether it came from himself or the original owner, maybe both.
Shen Yuyu pouted and said, "Then Ah Xun and I can't be husband and wife?"
Shen Yuyu's apricot eyes suddenly widened: the surprise in her heart came not from Ji Xun's identity, but more from all the hardships this man had suffered before, living in a cave, drinking gruel, and dragging his suppurating right leg into the mountains.
Hunting~~, the man who suffered so much is actually the extremely noble Night King of the Great Zhou Kingdom?
But why? Why did he abandon his glory and wealth and live in seclusion in such a countryside to live such a poor life? How did he do it since he was a child? Shen Yuyu couldn't help but secretly admire him.
"Go away." Governor Ding nodded and bowed to greet him, and respectfully handed the jade pendant to Ji Xun, "Master Ji, please come in quickly, please come in quickly.'
Ji Xun didn't answer and looked at Liu Huwei coldly: "Is he a subordinate of Governor Ding?
Ding Wendong didn't know what happened just now, so he nodded and said, "Yes."
Ji Xun hummed: "Prince Ding, your subordinate just said that this piece of jade pendant cannot get into the eyes of Governor Ding, but is it true?"
Upon hearing this, Governor Ding was so frightened that he kicked Liu Huwei on the knee, "You are talking nonsense, why don't you kneel down quickly?"
After kicking Liu Guards down, Governor Ding also knelt down and presented the jade pendant to Ji Xun again, "I have not been strict with my subordinates, please forgive me."
Ji Xun snorted, took the jade pendant and pulled Shen Yuyu's hand, and entered the Yamen lobby with Sun Juling.
