As the saying goes, if you don't do anything, you won't stop. Since General Hu has been killed, the others can't let him go.
The next day, Yan Ling took his personal guards, followed the clues to where his accomplices were hiding, cleaned up all the people, and recovered the hijacked limo from the Duke of Zhao's mansion.
Everything was still there, but the guards were worried that their errands had not been completed and had no time to cook.
Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had the gift, he filled in all the paperwork, and the marriage finally looked like it was going to look like it - Guanzhong Nanyuan was really far away, and it would take a long time to complete the six rituals, so it would be better if he could save one trip.
Save yourself a trip.
On the other side, envoys from various places were preparing to return.
Large carts drove out of the post house, laden with gifts in return.
Looking at this scene, someone sighed: "The Xu family is very kind, and this trip is not in vain."
Although I didn't get a marriage proposal, I did form a friendship, didn't I? The gift was generous, and the gift in return was also generous, so it was no loss at all.
Another guest nodded: "Really? The return gift was very thoughtful. Yingzhong was short of autumn seeds, so he sent several carts of autumn seeds. Looking at the one in Yingzhong who was smiling, no wonder they followed Xu's lead."
Mentioning this, the person from before looked around and lowered his voice: "What do you think Mr. Xu is planning? Do you really want to fall out with the person in Beijing?"
They all know that the imperial edict is a real edict, with a seal on it. But there was a big fuss last night. Xu claimed that they were thieves disguised as angels and intended to attack Nanyuan. Jiang Yue acted righteously and was seriously injured as a result.
He was ordered to be sent back to Jiangbei.
Damn it, Jiang Yue would sacrifice his life for Nanyuan? Look at all the things he did after coming to Nanyuan, it’s a good thing he didn’t take advantage of the chaos and stabbed him - he probably already stabbed him, so he was seriously injured.
"How can this be considered a falling out?" Another man who was experienced in the world and knew the key to the problem said, "These are thieves, but they are not real angels. How can the person in the capital still issue an order to punish him?"
Xu Huan has already said that the other party intends to attack Nanyuan. The fire in Lanyuan last night and the attack on the governor's office were all caused by those "thieves and bandits". If the puppet emperor issued the decree, then he must explain it. The imperial envoy who was ordered to announce the decree
Why should it be detrimental to Nanyuan?
In short, if the handle is caught, the false emperor can only swallow it.
As for whether the false emperor would be embarrassed and retaliate, he suddenly ordered to summon Xu's daughter into the palace, wouldn't it be difficult for him to retaliate? The grudge has been forged long ago, and there is really no need to care whether he is offended or not.
"So, this is a provocation?" The man thought thoughtfully, "Let Jiang Yi face the guy from the capital? That's not true. Can an old fox like Jiang Yi fall into the trap? The guy from the capital won't believe it, right?"
The other one laughed and said nothing.
It doesn’t matter whether Jiang Yizhong fell into the trap or not, and it doesn’t matter whether the person in the capital believed it or not. Anyway, Xu Huan said so, and the matter was finalized. It spread widely throughout the world, and this matter became a thorn in the skin of both parties. From now on, they can’t say goodbye.
.
Just as he was talking, cars and horses came one after another over there, and Mr. Xu personally saw them off.
"It's Young Master Chu Jiu and Young Master Zhao Sixth." Someone said enviously.
King Hexing and the Zhao family of Zhangzhou have huge family fortunes, but looking at their style, they are different from them.
Soon after arriving at the city gate, the motorcade stopped temporarily, and the two young men got out of the car to talk.
They were far away and couldn't hear clearly, but they could see the three of them smiling brightly and being affectionate.
After talking for a while, the two gentlemen boarded the car again and set off, with Xu Ze leading the people to see each other off from a distance.
"The two gentlemen are very well-mannered. Even though they failed to propose marriage, they still managed to maintain their grace."
"Of course, that night, the two young masters happened to go to the Governor's Mansion for a banquet and were almost assassinated by thieves. It was the second young master Yan who came to the rescue. How can we not keep this friendship in our hearts."
"Huh? Is this happening?"
Gu Yan
Everyone looked at the motorcade going away with a strange feeling.
Are they still worried that Nanyuan will offend the puppet emperor and Jiang Yi? Come on, one of their two daughters is married to the Dongjiang Prince's Palace and the other is married to the Zhaoguo Duke's Palace. Now they have even bribed the Hexing Prince's Palace and the Zhao family of Zhangzhou. What they should be afraid of is
The false emperor and Jiang Yi are right!
At this time, a series of greetings came from the ears: "Mr. Ji."
Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance walking over with a smile.
This is Ji Jing, the general manager of the governor's office. He has the trust of Xu Huan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his number one confidant.
Ji Jing chatted with them all the way. He was very accurate in recognizing people, and there was no one he could not remember when he saw them. He could accurately call out the names of no matter how obscure the officials were. Coupled with a friendly smile and a gentle
With words, everyone feels like a spring breeze and feels that they are valued.
After a round of greetings, Ji Jing said: "When something happens in the house, my master is not allowed to escape. I have been specially ordered to see you off. If there is anything wrong with my servants, please just speak up and don't be polite."
Everyone was naturally polite and thought to themselves that although the Xu family started late, their tutors were really good and there really was nothing to complain about.
Under Ji Jing's arrangement, the envoys from each family set off in an orderly manner and left Nanyuan.
On the way back, the guests looked at the return gifts and thought about Mrs. Xu's attitude, and they felt very happy.
As they walked, they suddenly came back to their senses.
The Xu family bribed more than just Chu Jiu and Zhao Liu. They were also rescued when there was a fire in Lanyuan that day. They all secretly hated the false emperor and instinctively stood by Nanyuan. Coupled with today's return gift and send-off, he
He's obviously been bribed too!
Miss Xu San’s hairpin banquet is really a huge profit!
…
In the corner tower of the Governor's Mansion, Princess Changning was looking at the scenery.
"Princess!" Jin Shu and Dan Mo came up and brought fruits and tea.
Princess Changning said "hmm" and took the cup without taking her eyes away.
"What is the princess looking at?" Jin Shu saw her in a good mood and asked with a smile.
Another motorcade disappeared. Princess Changning withdrew her gaze, drank tea and said with a smile: "Look at the beautiful rivers and mountains."
"Princess……"
Princess Changning waved her hand: "I...I am not missing anything, so don't worry too much."
The two palace maids said "Oh" and sat quietly with her.
Princess Changning drank tea and looked into the distance again.
There were rolling mountains, endless rivers, golden waves of wheat, and curls of smoke. This was a scenery she had never seen in the palace.
"When I came to Nanyuan, I thought about many possibilities. Maybe the Xu family would use my identity to do something. As long as they are willing to avenge my father and brother, I can cooperate. But Ayin told me not to think too much,
He even said he would hide my identity."
"I believe her, but I always have a reservation in my heart. I feel that things are unpredictable. Even if she really thinks so, she may be affected by the situation in the future and may not be able to do it."
Princess Changning blinked her eyes, tears appeared, and her voice was choked with sobs: "But she did it, and she didn't even ask me to do the bait."
She said softly: "Having such a friend in life will make you die without any regrets."
