After saying goodbye, everyone was about to set off when suddenly a large group of people came into the city. As soon as they woke up, they heard that the princess was leaving, so they helped the old and young, carrying eggs, melons and fruits to see her off.

"Now that the princess has left, I don't know when she will come back to Yongxian County. These things are not worth much, so I gave them to the princess to eat on the road." An old man stepped forward and said tremblingly, his earnest words like sending a child off for a long journey.

"Yes, yes, we have nothing to offer, just a little thought, please accept it, Princess!"

"The princess will come back to Yunzhou for a visit in the future. We, the people of Yongxian County, will never forget the princess's great kindness."

Chu Zhao couldn't help but want to shed tears. In order to reassure the people, he accepted these things with a smile.

"I will never forget your enthusiasm. I will definitely come back to see you when I have time." She said with a smile, but her voice was choked with sobs.

Everyone said goodbye with tears until they walked very far away. When they looked back, the people were still watching them under the city gate, and no one left.

Qi Fengshan turned around frequently and looked at Chu Zhao.

What Chu Zhao said the night before yesterday echoed in his ears again.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Chu Zhao had to rush all night to relieve the siege of Yong County.

In this world, there are no more simple people than the common people, and there are no more simple emotions than them.

But the simplest ones are the most touching.

The support, praise, and popular support that every person in power wants can actually be obtained very easily, that is, by exchanging hearts for hearts.

It's a pity that not many people can do it.

He wants to write these things down, and when the prince achieves great things in the future, he will always remind the prince to put the people first.

The people regard the king as their heaven, and the king puts the people first. Only in this way can the country be consolidated forever and the emperor's career be prosperous.

Chu Zhao noticed that Qi Fengshan kept looking at her and asked curiously: "Sir, what's wrong? Is there flowers on my face?"

Qi Fengshan's face turned red and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Princess, please forgive me. I must have been rude. I admire the princess deeply and have thought of other things."

Chu Zhao laughed and deliberately teased him: "Didn't you, sir, have been ordered by the prince to supervise me? Why do you admire me so much? Since you admire me so much, why not just follow me?"

Qi Fengshan's face turned even redder: "Princess, please don't tease me. The princess and the prince are one and the same. Whoever follows me is the same."

Chu Zhao laughed and ended the topic.

When your father-in-law heard that Chu Zhao was going to Wuzhou to find Ma Delong, he became anxious again. He came to discuss with Chu Zhao and asked her if she could stop meddling in such nosy matters and come to Beijing as soon as possible.

"No." Chu Zhao said, "You can't meddle in other people's business. Besides, I want my dear father-in-law to go back first if he misses the prosperity of the capital. It's not like I can't find my way to the capital."

Your father-in-law was very depressed and knew that what he said was in vain, so he had no choice but to follow him to Wuzhou angrily.

Only when I arrived in Wuzhou did I find out that Mr. Xiao Ge actually sent him a letter from the Chief Secretary.

Jiang Huaian, the chief envoy of Huguang, was a disciple of Mr. He Ge. He had been taking orders from the He family and his son for many years. Therefore, Mr. Xiaoge sent the letter to him with confidence.

Mr. Xiaoge said in the letter that he had not seen pigeons flying back to the capital for many days and asked him to pay attention to whether there were any trapping pigeons or falcons around that intercepted the pigeons.

Your father-in-law couldn't help but admire Mr. Xiaoge's intelligence.

I just discovered the clue, but Mr. Xiaoge discovered it so long ago and accurately guessed the reason.

Xiaoge Lao is just different.

He just said that Xiaoge Lao should come to pick up the princess in person. If Xiaoge Lao was here, how could the princess do such things?

He continued to look down, and Mr. Xiaoge said that since the princess has found out, stop sending letters secretly. After writing the letter every day, take the dove to the princess and release it, telling her that it is a letter sent to the capital. In this way She can no longer intercept pigeons.

Your father-in-law was very surprised and admired Mr. Xiao Ge for not taking the usual path.

Ok!

He decided to try it tonight to see how the princess would react.

Chu Zhao failed to meet Huguang's general commander Ma Delong.

The housekeeper in charge of the reception said that General Ma went to the state capital under his jurisdiction to inspect the military deployment and would not be able to come back tonight.

Chu Zhao didn't believe his lies.

Yongxian County is two days away from Wuzhou. Before she set off, she asked the scouts to send her letter of visit to the General Military Mansion in advance. However, Ma Delong actually went to inspect elsewhere even when he knew that she was coming. Isn't it obvious that he is avoiding her?

"Okay, since the commander-in-chief won't come back tonight, I'll stay in your house for one night!" Chu Zhao said, "When I was in Yunzhou, I often had contact with your mother-in-law, the commander-in-chief. Mrs. Fang asked me to Bring a message to your wife, I can’t see the commander-in-chief, but I also want to see my wife.”

The housekeeper was surprised and embarrassed, so he had to ask his wife for instructions.

Fang Weijia, the wife of the general soldier, heard that there was a letter from her mother, so naturally she could not turn her away, so she politely welcomed Chu Zhao into the house regardless of her husband's instructions.

The General Military Mansion was heavily guarded and did not allow too many people to enter, so Chu Zhao only brought Ao and Tie Hammer inside.

Fang Weijia was Fang Guanru's only daughter, so she was named after the same generation as her brother.

Her father is a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, her elder brother is a censor of Zuodu, and her husband is a general in the army of Huguang. With such a prominent family background, it is difficult for her not to be proud.

Maybe Chu Zhao's outstanding appearance overwhelmed her, so she wanted to find her sense of superiority in other aspects, so she took Chu Zhao around in a big circle so that Chu Zhao could see her grand mansion.

It has to be said that the General Military Mansion is indeed very lavishly built, with every flower, every grass, every corridor and every pavilion filled with the smell of money.

However, this lady still said modestly: "The shabby house makes the princess laugh. I guess Jingnan Prince's Palace must be many times better than ours."

Chu Zhao looked around and smiled slightly: "For such a shabby house, I guess the commander-in-chief has never deducted military pay."

"..." Fang Weijia suddenly choked to death.

The butler who was following him rubbed his hands anxiously.

Madam, aren't you looking for trouble?

There had been a letter from Yunzhou a long time ago, saying that Princess Jingnan was a tough one and could only be avoided but not touched.

That's why the commander-in-chief hid early in the morning.

Why doesn’t Madam believe it?

"Am I too blunt?" Chu Zhao looked at Fang Weijia with a smile, "My problem is really bad, and I often offend people because of it."

"No, no." Fang Weijia waved her hands and changed the subject, "I wonder what message my mother asked the princess to send to me?"

Chu Zhao smiled again: "It's not something important. The old lady just said that I saved her life and was a great benefactor to your family. If I come to Wuzhou, you and your wife must entertain me well."

"..."

Fang Weijia and the housekeeper looked at each other, unable to react.

What kind of princess is this? Why does she look like a woman in the autumn wind?

sloppy.

Too sloppy.

I should have asked clearly outside the mansion just now.

Now that everyone has come in, they are so shameless that they may not be able to drive them away.
