Chapter 210

The village chief took the money and left. Qingjiu parked the carriage in the yard, and then put the quilt on the bed. She wanted to clean up the whole house. There should be no one living here for a long time. It is full of dust and spider webs. Not a lot.

Chu Xiaohan was reading the information that the carrier pigeon brought him, and wrote a few scattered sentences on each piece of paper, talking about the current situation of Chu State.

During the time when Qingjiu and Chu Xiaohan were on their way, Chu Wusheng had successfully ascended the throne, and those former people in the palace were basically dismissed by him.

The first thing Chu Wusheng did was to order the two of them to be chased and killed. The portraits of the arrest warrants were flying all over the city, and the reason for the arrest was that Chu Xiaohan bribed the national teacher, openly assassinated the old emperor at the state banquet, and finally escaped with the help of chaos. go.

It also said that Chu Xiaohan had left traps in the places he went recently, and everyone was extremely unfriendly to the members of the royal family, especially when the traps he installed everywhere were found in the hunting grounds, he would be punished.

In general, Chu Xiaohan has changed from a high-ranking prince to a prisoner that everyone in Chu country fears and wants to catch no matter what.

In addition, the eldest prince, the original prince, was named King Ding'an, and was dispatched to another city without being summoned to return to the capital. of the men.

The rest of the princes were left in the capital, but they also had no power in their hands. They became idle princes, and they didn't even have to go to court. They could just water the flowers and walk the birds at home all day long.

Except for the fifth prince, he left in one night. He didn't know where he went alone, and Nuo Da's gambling house also stayed here.

Chu Wusheng's own strength is gradually being replaced, and almost all the stubborn ones use old age as an excuse to let them go home to farm.

Chu Xiaohan pinched these few pieces of paper, his thoughts continued to enlarge.

Strangely, several of his imperial brothers actually allowed Chu Wusheng to ascend the throne, and they haven't moved yet.Except for Fifth Brother, he didn't expect Fifth Brother to escape.

Qingjiu packed up and sat next to Chu Xiaohan.

"What are we going to do now?"

She asked softly, Chu Xiaohan squinted his eyes, and said: "There will be an imperial examination in half a year, the two of us can't fight against Chu Wusheng, so we need to rely on the power of Wu Guo."

"In the past six months, we need to get to know the state of Wu. If possible, you can disguise yourself as a man for a long time, and we will take the civil and military examinations respectively."

Qingjiu nodded, so she understood.

"Okay, then you study it first, I'll go out and buy some food, otherwise we will eat dirt today."

She stood up abruptly and patted Chu Xiaohan's shoulder, but it was too ostentatious to go out like this, so she ran to the kitchen and got some ashes on her body to make herself look a little darker and dirtier.

After all, from now on, she is the Wang Erya of the Wu Kingdom. Qingjiu went out with a basket on her shoulders. It is quite difficult to say or not. The image can be changed, but the temperament cannot be changed.

Qingjiu made several pieces of cloth around her head, then lowered her head, revealing a pair of cold eyes, she tried her best not to look at other people.

She first found a pawn shop and exchanged the broken silver for copper coins, then went to the rice shop to buy some rice, then went to the vegetable place to buy some vegetables, and finally went to the village butcher to buy a few catties of meat.

When Qingjiu came back, he saw the village chief standing at the door with an old lady carrying some things. Chu Xiaohan took some pots and pans and said thank you softly.
