"Madam, who are those people?" On the carriage, Lady Bell was in shock. Her hands were still trembling when she thought of the dangerous situation just now.
"It's okay, don't worry!" Chu Yiqing said calmly, patting her hand gently, "I'm afraid it's the spring water in Zhujiazui that's causing trouble!"
As soon as Lady Lingdang heard that it was related to the spring, she understood something immediately and did not dare to ask any more questions. She just asked Chu Yiqing to lie down and rest quickly.
Chu Yiqing was afraid that Lady Lingdang would be worried, so she lay down on the quilt. However, it was already noon and she was really depressed. She lay down for a while and then sat up. She drank some spring water again and felt relieved.
Zhujiazui finally arrived. Madam Lingdang quickly got out of the car, then moved a small bench over and helped Chu Yiqing down with Yingrun.[
A person walked out of the mouth. When he saw Lady Lingdang and Chu Yiqing, he immediately shouted happily: "Oh, what kind of wind has blown Miss Chu and Lady Lingdang back? It's noon, please go home and have a rest!"
"
Lady Lingdang smiled and replied: "No need, Mother Crying Baby, it won't be a problem at noon!"
The crying girl nodded and said: "Then you go back first, you haven't eaten yet, I'll get some food for you, and I'll tell the village chief that you're back!"
The woman said that and walked away with bare feet and a smile on her face.
"It's the Crying Baby girl from the east end of the village. We used to talk together a lot!" Lingdang Girl said as she helped Chu Yiqing walk to her home not far from the end of the village. Although few people live in that house, there are many in the village.
Someone came to clean it, so it was very clean. Even the gourd stand in the yard was newly tied, and two mature gourds were hung on it.
Chu Yiqing felt that it was too hot to enter the house, so he sat down in the shade of the gourd stand, where there happened to be a stone table and stone stools that had been placed previously.
"Madam, don't be greedy for cold, just lay on it!" Yingrun took the mat from the car and let Chu Yiqing lay on it, then hurriedly went to boil water.
While they were busy, village chief Zhu Yongfa came over with some villagers. Those people were still holding bowls in their hands. It was meal time. At first glance, everyone was bringing their own meals.
"Miss Chu is here. You must be tired after walking all the way. Let's eat first. Let's talk after dinner!" Zhu Yongfa smiled and asked people to put food on the stone table, including stone-ground tofu, rice dumplings, braised pork, and miscellaneous things.
There is also a table.
As a result, Chu Yiqing felt embarrassed and quickly asked everyone to sit down.
"Let's not disturb Miss Chu's meal. Let's wait until Miss Chu has finished her meal before coming back!" Zhu Yongfa smiled and left with the others.
Chu Yiqing quickly asked Lady Lingdang to send the person out.
Yingrun came out of the kitchen, looked at the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "Now I just have to cook for my wife, and I save a lot of things!"
When they arrived, rice and vegetables were prepared in the car. Ever since Chu Yiqing became pregnant, she had always paid special attention to the food. Yingqian cooked and tasted it herself!
What happened on the road made Chu Yiqing unable to calm down. Naturally, he did not dare to taste the food of the villagers rashly. Although they failed to live up to their good intentions, during the meal, Chu Yiqing and Abao only ate the food cooked by Yingrun.
The rest of the people ate the meals sent by the folks, which saved them a lot of trouble. Princess Diaoman, Please Calm Down the Latest Chapter.
After dinner, Chu Yiqing asked Ling Dang Niang to call Zhu Yongfa to meet with Shi Yan and tell him his decision. Zhu Yongfa naturally didn't hesitate and said that he could let the strong men in the village help dig the underground reservoir.
The matter was settled.
After the matter was settled, Shi Yan and his people temporarily stayed in Zhujiazui. Chu Yiqing also took the opportunity to discuss rice seeds with Zhu Yongfa again. It happened that this season's rice had just been harvested, and Zhu Yongfa happily handed over the rice.
All the seeds were given to Chu Yiqing. Anyway, they will plant lotus roots in the second half of the year. They will just wait until Chu Yiqing returns the rice seeds to them next year!
With these rice seeds, the urgent need can be solved. Chu Yiqing can be regarded as solving a big problem. He has relieved himself of the big stone in his heart and feels a lot more relaxed. In the afternoon, he went for a walk in the fields and gave some simple guidance.
He took the time to return to Lucheng.
Lucheng, an uninvited guest is coming at this moment.[
It was already evening when we arrived in Lucheng. After a long day, Chu Yiqing was also tired. He was planning to go and stare for a while before dinner, but Yingqian hurriedly came out of the hall and whispered: "Madam, Mrs. Bai and Baicheng
The Lord has arrived!”
Chu Yiqing frowned and cheered up: "It's too late. In that case, let's take that person to the hall!"
Yingqian was stunned when she saw Lei Yuan escorting a man covered in blood from the door.
In the hall, Lady Bai and Bai Yu frowned and looked worried. When they saw Chu Yiqing coming back, they hurried forward to greet them, but were stopped by Chu Yiqing.
"Bai Niang, City Lord Bai, if you really have me as a princess in your heart, you won't send people to assassinate me!" Chu Yiqing said coldly, waved his hand, and saw Lei Yuan dropping to the ground.
The man groaned and lay motionless on the ground, covered in blood.
Bai Niangzi and Bai Yu were both stunned. When they saw the man's face clearly, Bai Yu was startled and shouted in a low voice: "Peng'er, why are you here? What are you..."
Bai Pengqiang braced himself, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"It's really Prince Bai!" Chu Yiqing said coldly, "I thought my subordinate recognized the wrong person!"
Seeing that his beloved son was injured like this, Bai Yu's eyes were filled with distress, but he still asked respectfully: "Your Highness, may I ask if Quanzi did something wrong? The injury on his body is..."
"The injury on his body was caused by one of my men, but before I hurt him, I didn't know that he was City Lord Bai's beloved son, but I just thought he was an enemy who wanted to kill me!" Chu Yiqing walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
Come on, he said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, Bai Niangzi and Bai Yu were both startled. Bai Yu even stepped forward, pulled Bai Peng up and asked, "Tell me, what is going on?"
Bai Peng's face was pale, and he had obviously lost too much blood. Under Bai Yu's questioning, he suddenly said in a cold voice: "Dad, you are the city lord of the four cities of Yanjing, why do you give up the city lord to others in vain? This
A woman only has the blood of the royal family in her body. What has she done for our Shura Kingdom? Now this woman wants to tap our dragon veins to please the people of the Li Kingdom. Dad, I will never allow her to do this!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The princess must have her reasons for doing that. This time Saint Ancestor Bai and I came here just for this matter. Why do you want to act without authorization? What's more, you want to assassinate the princess. Do you know that if you are like this, dad
I can't save you!" Bai Yu's eyes darkened and he scolded coldly.
"Dad, don't be deceived by this woman. Everything she does is for herself, betraying the country and seeking glory. Now that she is the crown prince's concubine, I am afraid that if she cuts off the dragon vein of Shura Kingdom, she will become an upright crown prince! What she said
Everything he did was for himself, dad, don't believe him!" Bai Peng shouted coldly, because he was too excited and lost too much blood, he couldn't support it, and his eyes slowly became blurry.
Bai Yu's face was very ugly. He stood up, looked at Chu Yiqing with some shame, clasped his fists and said: "You look like a dog, please atone for your sins, princess!"
As Bai Yu said that, he knelt on the ground and wished he could not get married when he first met.
Chu Yiqing looked at him coldly and sneered: "Actually, Bai Peng is right. I only have the blood of the Shura Kingdom's royal family flowing in my body. Compared with these veterans like you who have been fighting for the Shura Kingdom all these years, I am simply not the same."
It’s nothing! But City Master Bai, don’t forget that I didn’t want to accept the four cities of Yanjing at first. It was City Master Bai and Lady Bai who announced my identity to the world and forced me to accept it. Now this Bai Peng
Since he wants to kill me because of this matter, I would like to ask, what do City Lord Bai and Lady White mean?"
Bai Yu knelt on the ground with sweat on his face: "It's because the old minister was not strict in discipline and allowed the dog and his subordinates to make mistakes and cause this huge disaster. Please punish me, princess!"
Lady Bai was sitting aside with her lips pursed tightly, her expression cold and solemn. Suddenly, she stood up slowly, tapped the dragon-headed crutch, and said coldly to Bai Peng: "Nie Zhan,
How dare you commit the crime below, such an unfaithful and unjust person, it will be a disaster to keep him!"
After Bai Niangzi finished speaking, the dragon-headed crutch struck Bai Peng hard. Bai Yu looked stern and trembled, but did not stop him.
Chu Yiqing looked at White Snake White Snake coldly, without even frowning, just watching Bai Peng die under White Snake Bai Niang's hand.[
Bai Yu's body suddenly shrank, as if he couldn't believe it. Perhaps in their opinion, Chu Yiqing should at least stop him, but...
Chu Yiqing said coldly, "You helped me choose this path. Since I have been brought to the forefront of the storm, you have to bear what I have to bear! From today on, I want to personally take charge of Yan.
The four cities of Beijing, White Snake, Bai Yu, I hope you will hand over the military power of the four cities of Yanjing!"
Both Bai Niangzi and Bai Yu were stunned. Chu Yiqing had not shown any interest in the four cities of Yanjing before and was just doing business to earn some money. Now Chu Yiqing wants them to hand over their military power, and it can be seen that,
Regarding Bai Peng's matter, Chu Yiqing didn't leave them any face at all. This...
"What? Are you unwilling to hand it over?" Chu Yiqing's eyes darkened, "Now that I can't help myself, I'm afraid you won't be able to help yourself either!"
Chu Yiqing's eyes darkened, and he clapped his hands slowly. Lei Yuan and Adé came in with swords, and surrounded White Snake and Bai Yu.
"Princess, what are you doing? I originally wanted to hand over my military power. It's you, princess..." Bai Yu was a little confused.
"That's great, now I have the final say on everything in Shura Kingdom!" Chu Yiqing interrupted him coldly, "As for the Holy Spring, I will naturally give you an explanation when the time comes!"
Bai Yu was startled, but still saluted respectfully; "Yes!"
Chu Yiqing slightly raised his thin chin, his eyes cold and stern.
Outside the Chu Mansion, Bai Yu looked sad as he watched people carrying Bai Peng's body onto the carriage.
Lady Bai glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice: "Bai Peng secretly cultivated forces and wanted to rebel. It doesn't happen in a day or two. If you think the princess doesn't know, you just turn a blind eye. But now, Bai Peng
Peng actually dares to assassinate the princess, I can't tolerate him!"
Bai Yu said in a deep voice: "Peng'er deserves to die, but the princess seems to have changed. She..."
"This is the princess of Shura Kingdom!" Bai Niangzi raised her eyes, her eyes full of fascination, "In the past, the princess was just a peasant woman who only knew peace, but now, this is our princess! Lord Bai, use your son
You should think it’s worth it if you exchange your life for the future of Shura Kingdom and the happiness of the people of Shura Kingdom!”
"What do you mean? No matter how bad Peng'er does, he is my son after all. He..." Bai Yu said coldly.
"It seems that you don't treat the princess as a king at all. If the Shura Kingdom is still there and Bai Peng does such a treasonous thing, I'm afraid he is not the only one who will die. There are more than a hundred people in your Bai family. It would be early now
She will suffer the disaster of annihilation! If the princess does not deal with Bai Peng, how will she gain a foothold in front of the courtiers in the future? How will she establish her prestige?" White Snake asked coldly, "Don't you want to see Shura Kingdom appear on the stage of history again?
Do you want the princess to be our puppet forever?"
Bai Niangzi's questioning left Bai Yu speechless. She was charming the king and the queen was flirting.
In fact, what Bai Niangzi said is the truth. On the surface, he is respectful to Chu Yiqing, but he still insists on being the old city lord of the four cities of Yanjing.
In their hearts, Chu Yiqing is the princess and the breakthrough point for their power. With Chu Yiqing, they can blatantly carry out the banner of restoring the country. With Chu Yiqing, they can become famous. In their hearts
Chu Yiqing has never been regarded as a being with imperial power, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to expose Chu Yiqing's identity and bring her to the forefront.
Now they are reaping the consequences!
Thinking of this, Bai Yu felt miserable. Besides, Bai Peng died at the hands of White Snake. He wanted to hate Chu Yiqing, but he couldn't, so he had to admit the bitter consequences in a low voice and asked:
"Then this military power..."
"Now that things have happened, can you still hold on to that military power? Don't forget, this Bai Peng just wanted to take away your military power, and that's why he was taken advantage of!" Bai Niangzi said solemnly.
Bai Yu had no choice but to agree in a low voice, but he was still unwilling to accept it and asked: "Then let's forget about the holy spring? If the dragon's eye is found by the people of the Li Kingdom's royal family, if the dragon vein of our Shura Kingdom is cut off, we will all die!"
"The princess said she would give herself an explanation, so she will naturally give one!" The White Snake said solemnly, "No one doesn't love power, and the princess is a human being too. What's more, now that she is already riding a tiger, she has to rely on us and Emperor Li.
Bargain, I believe the princess will not destroy herself!"
Bai Yu could only nod.
In a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Lucheng City, Jin Tengjing bit into the shriveled pastry and became angry. He did not expect that because Chongwen had exposed his identity. His portraits were plastered everywhere in the city. Naturally, he was waiting for him.
I had no choice but to hide in a ruined temple in the suburbs.
"Sir, please drink water!" A follower came forward and brought him water. He drank it, wiped his mouth, and was about to curse a few words when he heard a sound outside the temple, and his eyes darkened.
He ordered his entourage to take a look. After a while, the entourage walked into the ruined temple with Chongwen, who was dressed in black.
"You still have the nerve to come see me?" Jin Tengjing said angrily, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such a mess!"
Chongwen whispered: "I didn't expect Chu Yiqing to be so powerful. I just went to the inn with a weft hat on my head, and she was recognized by her people! It also caused the adults to suffer!"
"
"It's nothing for me to suffer, but now Chu Yiqing is still intact in the Chu Mansion. How do you explain it? Didn't you say that you have contacted people from the four cities of Yanjing to stir up internal strife among them? Where are the people now?"
Jin Teng said angrily, the muscles on his face were a little distorted.
"I have indeed made contact with Prince Bai of the Fourth Cities of Yanjing. Prince Bai has always wanted the position of the City Lord of the Four Cities of Yanjing. He has been dissatisfied with Chu Yiqing for a long time. He also agreed to cooperate with me, but Chu Yiqing is
The people are all masters, but the operation failed and Prince Bai is dead!" Chongwen said in a low voice, "And the people I sent failed to break into Chu Mansion, so there was no chance to make a move!"
"In that case, then take me to the holy spring and cure Prince Gan's eyes first!" Jin Tengjing lost his patience. In his opinion, this Chongwen was no longer trustworthy, and he was implicated in being exposed.
Due to his identity, now he can't enter the city and can't do anything. He can only find the water of the holy spring and go back to recover.
Chongwen did not give up, he wanted to join King Qian just to get close to Li Huang and Chu Yiqing, so that one day he could avenge Shame Flower. Now that Chu Yiqing was alone in Lucheng, it was an excellent opportunity. If Chu Yiqing waited
After returning to the capital, the surrounding area of the Prince's Mansion was even tighter, making it even harder for him to take action!
"Master Jin, we can make some other plans. Now that Chu Yiqing and A Bao are in Lucheng, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! In fact, with Master Jin's identity, it is easy to enter the city!" Chongwen said in a low voice.
Jin Tengjing frowned and asked in a low voice: "What else can you do?"
Chongwen whispered again. After Jin Tengjing hesitated slightly, he asked in a low voice: "Are you sure you can do this?"
"Chu Yiqing and Cheng Zhi have some connections, otherwise Cheng Zhi wouldn't have helped Chu Yiqing find people everywhere. As long as Mr. Jin reveals his identity and enters the prefect's house, I believe he will definitely find an opportunity to strike. The latest from Ao Shi Xuan Shen
Chapter!" Chongwen whispered, "And I can also sneak into Master Jin's team and enter Lu City!"
Jin Tengkei pondered for a moment, and now he could only try again.
At noon, this is the time when the city guards are most in trouble. The weather is hot and people are irritable. Generally, passing vehicles will be inspected casually and let people pass by.
"Stop, check!" A short, fat soldier stopped a gorgeously decorated carriage, stepped forward with his teeth picked, and shouted lazily.
The coachman who was driving the carriage stopped and shouted displeasedly: "How brave, do you know who is inside?"
The soldier spit out the toothpick with a bang and said displeasedly: "I don't care who you are, you have to be inspected when you enter our Lucheng territory. Hurry up, everyone in the car gets off!"
Just as the soldier was about to drag the coachman out, a hand immediately stretched out from the carriage, holding a red gold token.
"It turns out that he is a member of the King of Gan. He is too young to see Taishan. Please, please!" When the soldier saw the word "gan" on it, his attitude immediately changed. He nodded and bowed and let him go.
Mrs. Ma snorted coldly, drove her car straight into Lucheng, and headed straight for the Yamen.
It can be said that Cheng Zhi has been going smoothly these years, especially after Chu Yiqing became a concubine and went to the capital. In addition, Mrs. Cheng's niece and Hua Qi's marriage, Cheng Zhi has the prince as a big tree to rely on, which can be said to be very good. He was so proud that now the five-year term of the Lucheng magistrate has expired. He has already been working in the capital, and he will be transferred to the capital next year to take up the post. These days, when he was rejoicing, he heard that someone from Prince Qian's palace was coming. In the hall, he Startled, suddenly a little confused.
Now many people knew that he was the prince's man, and he did not shy away from it, but why did Prince Qian's palace send people to look for him? He couldn't figure it out, so he quickly changed his clothes and went to the front hall.
Jin Tengjing was sitting in the hall. As soon as he saw Cheng Zhi, he went up to him and said with a smile: "Master Cheng, Jin is disturbing me!"
On the other side, Master Cheng had already checked the token, respectfully returned it to Jin Tengjing, and then nodded towards Cheng Zhi.
"It turns out to be Mr. Jin. I wonder if Mr. Jin is here for official business or for private matters?" Cheng Zhi sat directly on the main seat and asked with a smile.
"It was for the sake of portraits. I don't know what went wrong. When Jin entered Lucheng, he was photographed and painted all over the streets and alleys of Lucheng. To be honest, Mr. Cheng, Jin was influenced by Concubine Wu this time. The empress asked me to come here to find the holy medicine that can cure King Qian's eye disease, but because of Mr. Cheng, Jin is unable to move forward!" Jin Tengjing said politely.
Cheng Zhi was stunned and quickly looked at the master. The master stepped forward and whispered: "There is indeed such a thing. Mr. Huafu came to ask for help from the master, saying that Chongwen, a wanted criminal from the imperial court, might appear in Lucheng again. And the appearance of counselor Jin is the same as that of the person who was in contact with Chongwen."
After Cheng Zhi heard this, he smiled and said: "I see, Counselor Jin, there may be some misunderstanding in this. Counselor Jin is acting under the orders of Concubine Wu, so naturally he cannot have anything to do with the imperial concubine. I am Now let someone remove the portrait of Counselor Kim!"
Jin Tengjing nodded and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to trouble Master Cheng. After returning this time, Jin will definitely put in a good word for you in front of Concubine Wu and Prince Qian!"
Cheng Zhi was naturally happy when he heard this. King Qian was not afraid. After all, no emperor in the past dynasties had a disability. Concubine Wu, on the other hand, was said to be the candidate for the next queen. Now the position is already empty. Year, I think it’s about time!
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhi naturally wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with Jin Tengjing, and finally left Jin Tengjing in Cheng's house to build a relationship, but he did not expect to cause trouble for him in the future.
