"Your Excellency is sending extra manpower to investigate this matter. You have to be patient." Yuan Mingxian patted Genhou's back. He couldn't say much else.
The one-eyed man looked at the ruins in front of him, guilt, annoyance, regret, and hatred surged out.
"This time it was my overconfidence and negligence that caused this tragedy. Yuan Canjun reported the truth truthfully. I will bear all the consequences. No matter how you punish me, I will admit it!"
Yuan Canjun glanced at him and said, "Your punishment will be saved for you first. You will be punished when the time comes, or you can exchange your merits for your crime."
Hearing this, the one-eyed man broke into a cold sweat and said, "Sir, can you tell me what to do next?"
Yuan Mingxian said with a cold face, "This time we have suffered heavy losses, my lord, I will let you hibernate where you are for the time being. We will discuss the next plan after this incident is over."
The one-eyed man looked as if he had drank a large bowl of yellow lotus water, even his eyes showed bitterness.
Yuan Mingxian saw his expression, and to be honest, he didn't sympathize with him.
Duyan is too arrogant. He thinks that the land of Jingzhou is under your jurisdiction, so he takes it lightly and allows others to take advantage of it. As a result, you lose a lot of money and materials, and you suffer a loss. How can you let him go?
Returning to the governor's office, Yuan Mingxian reported the truth truthfully.
Yuan Rujiang had a sarcastic look on his face, "These noble people from the capital are really good at playing tricks! If this plan doesn't work, they will try another plan. First, they will borrow food from me. If the food fails to meet their wishes, they will try another plan.
Under the guise of caring for the people of Jingzhou, they secretly kill people on my territory, and they call it bandit suppression!"
He originally wanted the local bandits to cause some trouble for them, but before he could take action, Prince Qian's team had already raided one of his warehouses.
How does this work?
According to my lord's vengeful character, although I can't fall out with them publicly, I still have to take revenge in private!
Yuan Mingxian squinted his eyes slightly, a cold light burst out in his eyes, "Sir, do you want to teach them a lesson?"
Yuan Rujiang said bluntly in front of his confidants: "Of course, it's rude to come and go without reciprocating! They have already taken action, how can we remain indifferent?"
A playful smile appeared on Yuan Mingxian's face, "My subordinates will make arrangements later. They have entered Jingzhou's borders. If they want to leave Jingzhou's borders again, they will have to be skinny and bones without peeling off their skin."
"Ahju! Ahju!"
After sneezing twice in a row, Xia Jing rubbed her nose. Who was thinking about her?
Hongmei glanced at the scorching sun outside the carriage and asked worriedly: "The further south you go, the hotter the weather will be. Princess, you don't have a cold because of the heat. How about I ask the doctor to come and check your pulse?"
Xia Jing lay on the couch, closed her eyes and rested her mind, and said lazily: "It's okay, someone must be thinking about me."
Hearing this, Hongmei frowned and said, "The prince in front must be thinking about you."
Xia Jing's mental power extended outside the carriage, and she tried to pick up a grain of sand for the nth time, and finally succeeded.
Her head ached faintly. After listening to the maid's words, she opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at the little girl curiously, "I asked you, little girl, why do you mention the prince countless times in front of me every day? Could it be...
Do you have any thoughts about him? Do you want me to make the decision and let him take you in?"
Hongmei was shocked when she heard this, "My lord, my lord, please don't do this. I have no qualms with you!"
"Pfft!"
Seeing that she was very frightened, Xia Jing let her go for the time being, but did not forget to warn her, "Remember, unless necessary to report, don't mention this scumbag in front of me in the future!"
"Yes, I will keep this in mind!" Hongmei felt a little aggrieved. Is it easy for her to be a slave?
Thinking of helping the master to win favor, he became a stranger inside and outside.
Xia Jing looked out the window and asked, "Where are you now?"
Hongmei poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her hand, "I heard from Mr. Wu that he can reach Lu County before the sun sets. He will probably rest in Lu County tonight."
Xia Jing smiled, "Further south from Lu County is Jiangxia. After traveling for so many days, we are finally almost at the riverside."
After a severe drought, she was afraid of severe floods. The further south you go, the more rain there will be. The weather in the south is unpredictable. Xia Jing is worried that there will be heavy rains before they cross the river. When the peak of the flood arrives, the river will widen and the flow will speed up, it will have a negative impact on them.
Jiang caused certain resistance.
Hongmei asked curiously: "Princess, what does the other side of the river look like? Are the mountains green, the water clear, and the flowers blooming?"
Xia Jing couldn't imagine what kind of scenery this was, so she shook her head: "I have never been to the other side of the river since I was a child, so I don't know what the other side is like."
When it came to going to Lingnan, she just decided based on the current situation in the world.
"Concubine, the team is going to rest in the woods ahead." Li Chengmu was riding on horseback, bent down and smiled at Xia Jing through the car window.
Xia Jing teased him, "The sun is so bright outside, aren't you afraid of getting tanned?"
"I've come all the way. I'm already tanned anyway, so I might as well tan for a while longer."
Li Chengmu smiled happily. He looked much stronger all the way here.
"You're tanned, aren't you afraid that no girl will like you?"
Li Chengmu shook his head and said nonchalantly: "It's okay if you care about my appearance."
"You are so free and easy!" Xia Jing laughed.
As the mother and son chatted, the team slowly entered the woods and the speed of the car slowed down.
As soon as we entered the forest, the heat in the air dropped. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and could finally rest.
Xia Jing got out of the carriage, stood on the carriage shaft and felt the oncoming breeze, feeling that the heat from her body had dissipated a lot.
Zeng Yan arranged for people to go to the stream to fetch water and collect firewood, and the people in charge of the kitchen began to get busy.
Bai Mei jumped off the horse and poured all the remaining water on the carriage into the basin, "Princess, please come down and wash your face quickly. You have been driving all morning and you are covered in sweat from the heat."
Xia Jing touched her face and found that it was indeed sticky.
Wash your face and feel refreshed all over.
"Princess, I saw many refugees digging wild vegetables by the stream. Let's go dig some and bring back some. If you don't eat some green vegetables after running around for days, I'm afraid you will get ulcers again."
Xia Jing warned: "Ask a guard to follow you. Don't act alone."
The further south you go, the fewer refugees there are.
There is more greenery on the roadside, and sometimes you can find a place with sufficient water and dig some wild vegetables.
On the surface, the governor of Jingzhou is a good official who works diligently and loves the people. He has arranged for many refugees along the way.
I just don’t know what he thinks of the world situation?
In other words, how interested is he in competing in the world?
"Mother, please drink some water."
Li Chengmu sat on the small stool next to Xia Jing, took the teapot from Hongmei's hand and poured her a glass of water himself.
"Why do you want to accompany me today?" Xia Jing's eyes narrowed, she took the tea cup and drank some warm water, "Aren't you going to play with your brothers and nephews?"
"Everyone is tired and wants to have a good rest. Otherwise, we won't have the energy to go on the road in the afternoon."
