Chapter 76 Mingxiang Travels Secretly


Yunzhou is located in the northeast of Shangyang Kingdom, not far from Shangjing. In normal times, it would take three days to get there on a fast horse, and it would not take more than seven days to drive an ordinary horse-drawn carriage.But now that the snow is difficult to travel, and with the money and food allocated by the household department, the disaster relief team from Shangjing has been on the road for five days, but only traveled more than half of the distance.

It's another day of rushing, and once again night is about to fall.

"Your Highness, there is a village in front of you. After passing that village, there is no one inhabited within a radius of ten miles." Wu Shuang played the vanguard, and he was responsible for exploring the way along the way.

A group of people, apart from the prince Ji Changjing, Ji Zhengkang also sent an escort of the Royal Forest Army. In the carriage, only Ji Changjing closed his eyes, and when he heard Wushuang's report, he opened his mouth to give orders, "It's getting late, today's Don't hurry, go to the village ahead and set up camp."

On the bright side, Ji Changjing only brought ten soldiers with him, and the other mighty escorts for the convoy and money and food were the Imperial Forest Army given by the emperor. Coincidentally, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army was Ji Changjue's confidant.

The village was just a small village, with a total of more than a dozen households, and it was freezing cold. When Ji Changjing and his party arrived, they saw that every household had closed their gates tightly to prevent the cold wind from intruding.

The disaster relief team found an open place and set up camp on the spot.

For a while, there were those who shoveled the snow, those who drilled holes, and those who lit the fire. Everyone did their work with ease. After a while, the temporary settlement was completed.

What they brought was dry food. If there was a village next to them on the road, they would naturally have to bother the villagers for some fresh hot food. In such a cold day, no matter how delicious the dry food was, it was no match for a bowl of hot soup.

Wushuang took a few imperial guards to knock on the door of a house whose lights were still on.

After knocking a few times, someone came out soon, but when the door opened, Wushuang almost jumped up in fright.

Ji Changjing looked at the woman in front of her with her head bowed and her feet restlessly stepping on a protruding stone on the ground. His head seemed to be grabbed by the most secret nerve, and he felt a dull pain, wanting to ask questions. But the woman lowered her head and looked like she knew she had made a mistake, but in the end she still couldn't bear it, what finally came out of her mouth was a helpless sigh,

"What do you want me to do with you?"

Ming Xiang only buried her head lower.

Five days ago, after Ji Changjing sent her to the Ming Mansion, she thought about it and felt uneasy all the time, so she begged Jin Yuedong to take her to quietly follow behind Ji Changjing. Bringing a team of elites from the Ming Dynasty, they have been secretly guarding against any possible surprise attacks.

Ji Changjing looked at General Jin who was also standing with his head bowed behind Mingxiang, "Uncle Jin, Mingxiang wants to mess around, so you can let her do it, old General Ming doesn't care?"

Jin Yuedong quickly said, "The old general doesn't know." When he met Ji Changjing's eyes, he lowered his head embarrassingly.

It is rare for General Jin, who is on the battlefield, to be so unreasonable, but at that time Mingxiang was crying so sadly, how could he have the heart to reject her, she was a girl whom he liked as his own child, and she cried in front of him , So without telling the old general Ming, he secretly transferred a few of his own men, and just took Mingxiang to Yunzhou.

They didn't have the money and food stripped by the court to manage, so although Biji Changjing set off one day later, he was ahead of them.

He didn't want to expose it at first, but he didn't expect Wushuang to knock on the household where he and Mingxiang were staying. He could only confess and be lenient, bow his head and admit his mistake, and strive for leniency.

Jin Yuedong looked at Mingxiang who had been silent all the time, and at Ji Changjing who had been looking at Mingxiang but didn't say anything, and he left the camp very tactfully.

The wheelchair rolled to Mingxiang's feet, and Ji Changjing's bent legs were only a tenth of a millimeter away from Mingxiang. The two remained relatively silent for a long time.

In the end, Ji Changjing was no match. He put his arms around Mingxiang's waist and looked up at her, "How hard was the journey?"

Hearing this, Ming Xiang dared not look into the eyes of the man until finally he met his eyes, supported his shoulders with both hands, and shook his head.

"You, you, why do you have such a great ability to frame me tightly, but you can't even bear to scold you." Ji Changjing lightly scratched the tip of her nose, the gesture was very intimate, and Ji Changjing kept stern Sure enough, only when facing Mingxiang, will her face turn into spring water.

This trip has been going all the way, every day is either cloudy or light snow, the day when I woke up in this small village, the sun showed its face.

Although people will feel colder and biting when the snow melts, but after days of cloudy and snowy days, the sun finally came out, and everyone's mood became more comfortable.

There is an extra disaster relief team, a team brought by Jin Yuedong belonging to the Ming government. At first glance, although he has only half the number of the imperial army sent by the emperor, but just looking at his mental outlook, which of the two teams is better? It's hard to say.

After another day's journey, they arrived at Qiongzhou, which is next to Yunzhou.

The master of Qiongzhou Mansion is He, He Ruozhou, who is getting old, and Ji Changjing and his party went to Yunzhou for disaster relief. He has already received a letter sent by Ji Changjing, and he must pass through Qiongzhou to go to Yunzhou. So He Ruozhou had been waiting at the city gate of Qiongzhou early on.

Seeing the disaster relief team coming, He Ruozhou hurriedly led all the officials in the mansion to bow down and greet them.

"Your Highness has worked hard all the way. The lower officials have prepared food and wine on the mansion platform, and are waiting to welcome you, Your Highness."

Although this Qiongzhou government office looks honest and honest, but the things he did and the demeanor he displayed, the way of the officialdom is quite clear. Although he is an official in Qiongzhou, which is some distance from Shangjing, it can be seen from his flattering performance Look, he is very clear about the major events that happened in Shangjing in the past six months.

Ji Changjing not only took the granddaughter of General Zhen Guo, but is now the most powerful prince beside the emperor. Of course, He Ruozhou can't be slighted, so he must treat her well.

Ming Xiang lifted the curtain and revealed a face. He Ruozhou saw it, and immediately realized that this was Princess Jing, the granddaughter of General Zhen Guo. It was rumored that Ji Changjing was not close to women, but she was the only one who was obedient to her own princess. The woman Ji Changjing was riding in the carriage with was undoubtedly Princess Jing Mingxiang.

He Ruozhou hurriedly said, "You must be Princess Jing, right? I never thought that the small land of Qiongzhou would be welcomed by Princess Jing. I am really honored."

To this, Ming Xiang only nodded falsely, then stretched her head back.

After a while, a deep and powerful voice came from the carriage, "Master He, lead the way."

So there are tens of thousands of people in Qiongzhou Futai.

On the carriage, Mingxiang complained to Ji Changjing in a low voice, "Yunzhou is suffering from a snowstorm, and Qiongzhou is just next door, but look at Mr. He, from us, he didn't say a word about the snowstorm in Yunzhou. With you and me, you and I keep our eyebrows pleasing to the eye, and we are always talking about scenes."

Ji Changjing sneered, "This King He Ruozhou has heard about it. He is about to become a master of flattering and sycophant. This king went to look for him personally, unlike now, he greeted him at the gate of the city early."

Ming Xiang looked down on this kind of stalker the most, "Then let's go eat his meal? Isn't this a brand of talk for others?"

She thought to herself, the common people in Yunzhou are in dire straits, but they enjoy the food and wine next door. If this is manipulated by someone with a heart, it will definitely arouse public outrage.

Ji Changjing seemed to be thinking of something, but there was an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and the words that came out of his mouth were all waiting for Mr. He, who was still sleeping peacefully.

"Snow disaster in Yunzhou, don't even think about putting it up high in Qiongzhou's mansion. It has nothing to do with him. After a while, the king will ask him to contribute money and effort. You just wait and see the good show."

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

Ming Xiang poked her head out and saw that there was a huge plaque on the Qiongzhou Mansion Terrace, shining with golden light. Under the rare sunlight, Ming Xiang's eyes were almost blinded.

After Ji Changjing got off the carriage, he didn't directly bring the people into He Ruozhou's mansion, "Wushuang, you take the people to the post house first and settle down. Make sure someone guards the disaster relief money and food."

"Yes."

The group was divided into two groups. The large team went to the post house. Ji Changjing led Mingxiang, Jin Yuedong, and the two speakers who were staying with the imperial army this time.

State Government Terrace is a yamen set up above the county government office. Logically speaking, He Ruozhou is not a high-ranking official, but since Ming Xiang entered this Qiongzhou Mansion Terrace and passed the office hall in front, it was He Ruozhou’s living place. But naked local tyrants can be seen everywhere.

As expected, the food and drink for the wind and dust had been prepared, and at first glance, it was indeed big fish and big meat. They almost ate dry food along the way, and suddenly they saw such a rich and greasy meal. They should have sat down and gorged themselves. But when Mingxiang saw her, she felt her stomach churning.In order not to be so disgusting, she diverted her attention.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he saw a Buddha on the upper stage, which was really "golden" and translucent.

He Ruozhou bowed his head and said, "They are all side dishes, Your Highness King Jing, please don't dislike them."

Ji Changjing didn't speak, but Jin Yuedong showed a sarcasm, "This table is full of wine and meat, or side dishes? Ha!"

But He Ruozhou didn't hear the sarcasm at all, and actually followed Jin Yuedong's words, with a flattering smile on his face, "These are just the small thoughts of the lower officials, compared to the hard work of the nobles traveling in the wind and snow all the way. It’s really nothing.”

Suddenly, Ming Xiang, who had been silent all this time, opened her mouth, "Master He, that Buddha statue is so exquisite, is it pure gold?"

After she opened her mouth, everyone followed her pointer and looked at the one-meter-high Buddha that was shining with golden light.
