The Tiqi men tied up Shi Dang and Wu Youhua who had lost their hands on the horse. Luan Ying was exhausted, but she still insisted on looking for Ye Xiuning and Ye Ping'an. Liu Ling ordered two men in silver clothes to take fifty Ti
Qi Xian escorted Shi Dang and Wu Youhua back to Jiangzhou. He took his troops and Luan Ying to look for Ye Xiuning.
Liu Ling did not ask for Luan Ying's opinion. He picked her up and put her on the back of the red lion, and then asked her to lead the way. He followed behind with Tiqi. The moment Liu Ling picked her up on the horse,
The hatred in Luan Ying's heart was gone, replaced by an indescribable emotion, perhaps gratitude, perhaps relief after the misunderstanding was resolved, perhaps a little apologies for Liu Ling, perhaps a great feeling
Perhaps she was lucky after her death, but perhaps Liu Ling's domineering attitude left her at a loss. This was a feeling that was so complicated that even she couldn't understand it, and it made Luan Ying very uncomfortable with it.
From the time Luan Ying left to the time Liu Ling arrived to finish, less than an hour passed. Ye Xiuning and Ye Ping'an, who were already exhausted, could not run very far. As the saying goes, running away from the mountains will kill you. At that time, they looked far away from the front
The mountain is not that far away, but if you really start walking, you will find that the distance is much farther than it seems.
Many of the people in the Overwatch Council were experts at tracking, and it didn't take long before they discovered the traces left by Ye Xiuning and the others. Luan Ying felt anxious and kept shouting.
Finally, in a rather secret tree hole, the Overwatch Council officials found Ye Xiuning and Ye Pingan, who were hugging each other with determination on their faces. When they saw the Overwatch Council officials wearing black lotus robes, the two people thought it was Shi.
The people who were caught found them. The young Ye Pingan pushed Ye Xiuning aside and rushed out screaming with a small dagger. The officials of the Supervisory Yuan had no choice but to put him to the ground. Ye Pingan was still like
He was howling like a wolf cub and wanted to fight the officials of the Overwatch Council. It wasn't until Luan Ying came over that he slowly calmed down, and then he hugged Luan Ying and cried heartbreakingly.
Liu Ling sighed, and ordered two Tiqi soldiers to take off their cloaks and wrap them around Ye Xiuning and Ye Ping'an, and help the two of them onto their horses. After two days and two nights of traveling and a small-scale battle, Tiqi's
The soldiers were also tired. They returned to Jiangzhou much slower than when they came. Halfway there, a carriage from the Jiangzhou Supervisory Office, escorted by Jiangzhou County soldiers, came to meet them.
Liu Ling asked Luan Ying and the three of them to get on the carriage first, and then asked Jiangzhou County Magistrate Zhang Liang, who was kneeling on the roadside, "Have you done what I asked you to do?"
Zhang Liang is a man in his forties, with a military background. He was once a captain. After the Han army captured Jiangzhou, he was left as the county magistrate. It has been more than two years now. He is not tall, but very strong and dark.
His face bears the marks left by the knives and axes of time, and his face looks a bit haggard.
"Back to my lord, the house of Wu Youhua, the governor of Jiangzhou County, has been surrounded. No one has escaped. With the cooperation of the officials of the Supervisory Yuan, the White Lotus Sect disciples in Jiangzhou City arrested a total of 239 people.
There are also many people in Jiangzhou who are believers of the White Lotus Sect. The official did not arrest people on a large scale. They only posted notices telling the people that the White Lotus Sect tried to rebel and was suppressed. Everyone has been arrested and brought to justice. All followers of the White Lotus Sect automatically go to the Yamen.
If we report here, they will not be implicated. Shi Dang and Wu Youhua were escorted to Jiangzhou and imprisoned, and they were guarded by heavy troops."
Liu Ling snorted and said: "Well done, don't make the people panic. You were born in the military. I remember that you were appointed as the governor of Jiangzhou County in the autumn of the fourth year of Datong.
Wu Youhua was complicit, and this is a credit. But you clearly knew Gu's warrant but did not stop Wu Youhua, nor did you send troops to pursue and capture the White Lotus Sect's rebels. This is a fault. The merit is small but too great, so the punishment is
Are you dissatisfied with your one-year salary?"
Zhang Liang kowtowed and said: "I have let you down by your humble position. Please punish me severely."
Liu Ling said: "You have to remember one thing from now on. Don't look forward or backward. After Gu's order is given, no matter what you are asked to do, don't think about anything else. Just do it."
"I understand, humble position! I've let the prince down..."
Zhang Liang said this sentence for the second time.
Liu Ling said lightly: "I am a little disappointed, so you should behave well in the future. If you are still so hesitant about doing things, you should not sit down as the county magistrate again. Wu Youhua is a member of the White Lotus Sect, you
I don’t know, so you are too worried to send troops, so I won’t punish you severely this time. You can also hold the position of Jiangzhou County Sheriff for now, and pay more attention.”
Zhang Liang's expression changed, and he was extremely moved.
After making a big mistake, the prince not only punished him lightly, but also promoted his official position by one level. Zhang Liang kept this kind of kindness in his heart.
Liu Ling got on the carriage, turned around and said to Zhang Liang: "You go back first and then gather the people and tell them that I have arrived in Jiangzhou. Let the people wait under the city gate if I have anything to say to them."
Zhang Liang responded quickly and hurried back to Jiangzhou on horseback.
After Liu Ling got on the carriage, he sat down and looked at the three people who looked tired and haggard and smiled apologetically.
"It was my negligence that made you suffer. After answering Jiangzhou, I will kill all the culprits who are chasing you. All the rebels of the White Lotus Sect in Jiangzhou City have been captured. Jiangzhou County Governor Wu Youhua's
The family is also under guard. Luan Ying... I said, I will take you to kill people. When you come back, you will stay by my side, watch me, and avenge you."
Luan Ying opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Liu Ling turned to Ye Xiuning and said: "I feel very sorry for causing everyone Ye to suffer. I heard that you were going to Jinzhou, and I happened to be taking my family to Jiangnan this time. Just follow my carriage first.
Let's go together and have a good rest. When we return to Jinzhou, I will choose a good house in Jinzhou for you to settle down."
Although Ye Xiuning's face was dirty and she looked a little haggard, she had recovered a lot. She politely bowed to Liu Ling and said: "Thank you for taking care of me, Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty this time, the three of us would have been afraid
It is difficult to escape. The daughter of the people wrongly blamed the prince before, please forgive me."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Everyone Ye, it was my lack of consideration that put you in danger. It's me who should apologize, but I didn't do what I said. I'm sorry."
Ye Xiuning said quickly: "My lord, please don't say that. Shi Dang has ulterior motives and will attack the three of us sooner or later. Xiaoying and I no longer interfere with the matters in the church and leave them to the people below. Shi Dang
I thought I had an opportunity and wanted to take the White Lotus Sect as my own, so... Your Majesty, you don’t have to rush to apologize."
Liu Ling smiled, turned around and asked Ye Pingan, who was curled up in Luan Ying's arms: "Are you afraid?"
Ye Pingan's face was still pale and extremely weak.
"Afraid."
He bit his lip and said.
Liu Ling asked again: "Do you hate me?"
Ye Ping'an nodded first, and then shook his head vigorously: "I hated the prince before, because I thought the prince had lied to my mother and sister. But now I don't hate him, not at all."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "It's not just about this. I brought down the world of Zhou Dynasty. Do you hate me?"
Ye Pingan shook his head again and said: "After my father died, Da Zhou was no longer the Da Zhou of our Chai family. Even if Da Zhou was not destroyed by the prince, he would be destroyed by others. Pei Zhan asked me to be the emperor. I know he just didn't want to
It's just that I have the reputation of killing my master. But if he doesn't kill me on the surface, he will kill me sooner or later. It is much better for the prince to own this country than others. I have long been tired of being treated as a doll. And...
…”
He looked at Ye Xiuning and Luan Ying and smiled and said: "Now that I have a mother and sister who love me, I have no hatred in my heart. No matter it is the prince or those who have hurt me, I have no hatred for a long time."
Yes. My name is Ye Pingan, not Chai Zongrang."
Liu Ling smiled faintly, looked at Ye Pingan's shining eyes and said, "Ye Pingan is a very good name, but...it's always a little awkward for girls to call it this name."
As soon as he said these words, the expressions of the three people except him immediately changed.
Seeing the surprised expressions of the three of them, Liu Ling said with a smile: "Although I don't know why the Zhou Dynasty court and those in the palace turned a princess into a prince, but I know the suffering you have suffered.
It’s already quite a lot. I said, I wish you a safe life. No matter you are a boy or a girl, what I said will count. You now have a good mother and a good sister, and your future life will be very happy.
.”
Ye Ping'an's eyes widened in surprise, and then he slowly lowered his head: "Your Highness...had known about it for a long time?"
Liu Ling laughed and said, "Let's rest for a while. We are still some distance away from Jiangzhou and have to walk for an hour. You have been frightened and tired these days. Now everything is over."
Seeing that women of three age groups were looking at him with wide eyes as if they were monsters, Liu Ling stretched his body and said with a smile: "Don't want to sleep? Then I'm going to sleep for a while. I'm tired after riding a horse for two days and two nights.
"
After saying that, Liu Ling leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes to rest under the complicated looks in their eyes. Perhaps Liu Ling didn't have any precautions against the three of them, so she fell asleep not long after. Ye Xiuning looked at it
Luan Ying looked at Ye Pingan again, with a complicated expression on her face. Suddenly, she smiled brightly, her smile was relaxed and joyful.
As she laughed, Luan Ying and Ye Pingan also laughed.
The corners of Liu Ling's mouth curled up slightly in his sleep. Although his face was tired, he looked so refreshed, so clean, and so peaceful now. I don't know if it was because of a slight bump.
Liu Ling leaned against the carriage and slowly leaned to one side. His head rested on Luan Ying's shoulder, making the woman's face immediately turn red like a blooming peach blossom.
Ye Xiuning waved to Ye Pingan. Although Ye Pingan was still young, she was extremely smart. She smiled, got up from Luan Ying's arms and sat next to Ye Xiuning, leaning her head on Ye Xiuning's arms. After all, she was still a genius.
The ten-year-old child was already extremely tired from running away in fear these days. As the carriage shook slightly, her tiredness gradually came over her. Before closing her eyes and falling asleep, she gave Luan Ying a look of relief.
Ying didn't understand what it meant, but his heartbeat was racing.
Ye Xiuning also slowly closed her eyes, not looking at Han Wang Liu Ling who was leaning on Luan Ying's shoulder, nor at Luan Ying who was blushing and wanting to get angry but couldn't. There was a relieved smile on her face.
.
Luan Ying blushed and looked at Liu Ling who was carelessly leaning on her shoulder. She raised her hand several times to push him away but dropped it weakly. She puffed her mouth and was angry, at least she looked angry.
Staring at Liu Ling. Perhaps because of being too tired, everyone in the carriage fell asleep. She was angry but could not show anything. She turned to look at Ye Xiuning and Ye Pingan, who were already asleep, Luan Ying felt quietly in her heart
He breathed a sigh of relief.
She quietly raised her hands to support Liu Ling's shoulders and let him fall down slowly. Liu Ling's head rested on her elastic legs. Although it was just a simple movement, Luan Ying was nervous.
But her heart felt like it was going to jump out. She lowered her head and looked at Liu Ling's sleeping face, and a rare shyness quietly emerged on her face. Quietly, quietly, she raised her hand to Liu Ling's chin.
She stroked him lightly and felt the slight tingling sensation. Luan Ying's heart beat almost as if it was jumping out of her throat. She told herself that she was holding him... because she was afraid that he would fall.
She told herself that he had saved his wife, Xiaopingan, and herself. Let him lean on her for a while. It was nothing...it was really nothing.
When Luan Ying couldn't resist the attack of fatigue, she gradually closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep leaning on the carriage.
Liu Ling opened her eyes, looked at Luan Ying's pretty face and smiled, feeling very proud. (To be continued)
