Ten days later——
Jiang Yunluo hardly stopped and headed north all the way to Huaicheng.
Before reaching the city gate, I saw someone already guarding there from a distance.
There seems to be more than one.
Jiang Yunluo glanced at the people around her, the corners of her lips suddenly curved, and she deliberately called out: "Ahua, take two steps quickly and go to the front to see who it is."
Huayue, who was called all the way: "..."
No matter how good-tempered he is, he really can't laugh when faced with such a name.
Ah Hua.
He is the dignified master of Qiansi Pavilion.
Called Ahua?
It would be strange if people didn’t laugh out loud when this news spread!
Jiang Yunluo was in a good mood.
In the past, she was choked by someone and was left speechless.
Now it's finally his turn.
no way.
Yuxiao and this group of secret guards were spending time with them day and night. The name of Master Hua Pavilion was so loud that if someone noticed it, he would always get into trouble.
It's better to be careful.
So... naturally the only choice is "nickname".
As for whether it was intentional...cough.
Understand for yourself.
"Dude, let me go."
A secret guard volunteered and rode away.
Huayue didn't move, but glanced at Jiang Yunluo wordlessly, rode her horse alongside her, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How long are you going to call this name?"
"Isn't that a bad name?"
Jiang Yunluo asked knowingly, but the smile on her lips could no longer be hidden.
Recalling the "I don't understand, but I respect" expressions on the others' faces when she called her that for the first time, I finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Huayue: "..."
Forget it.
She is happy.
As he spoke, the secret guard who had left earlier had already returned the same way, but for some reason, he reported with a somewhat subtle expression: "Princess, in front are the local county magistrate Guo Yongnian, Huaicheng Grand Guard Yan and a group of officials waiting. besides……"
He was suddenly stuck for a moment.
Then he continued: "And... Crown Prince Mingyu is also here."
"Prince Mingyu?"
Jiang Yunluo was a little surprised: "You mean Luo Mingyu?"
"Exactly."
The dark guard nodded.
Jiang Yunluo subconsciously turned her head and exchanged a look with Huayue.
what?
It wasn't enough to send a killer, but he also sent his son?
This Prince Xuan is willing to give up!
And it was actually faster than their feet!
While several people were talking, the horse stopped in place.
Jiang Yunluo thought for a moment, then gently tugged on the reins, her face still calm and calm.
"Let's go."
Whether it’s a mule or a horse, you have to learn how to know it!
The distance from the official road to the city gate is not too far.
But in just a short journey, it was completely different from when they came.
The surrounding vegetation is visibly withered.
The weather is obviously not too hot.
But it was scary.
If I stay there for a while, my skin will feel like cracks will appear.
finally--
A group of people arrived outside the city gate.
Jiang Yunluo was the first to look at Guo Yongnian and Wei Yan.
Both of them were wearing official robes, they looked about forty years old, and their appearance was upright, not evil-looking.
Then, before he could get off his horse, a really unpleasant voice fell into his ears.
"Hey, the eldest princess left one day earlier than me, so why did she arrive later than me? Do you know that if you arrive half a day late, the people of Huaicheng will suffer even more!"
Jiang Yunluo paused as she was about to dismount and sneered in her heart.
He came to her specifically just for this sarcastic remark?
"My cousin came early."
She turned over and dismounted, and met Luo Mingyu's eyes without any fear: "Now that you are here, why don't you go in and observe the people's sentiments? Instead, you wait here with nothing to do? Are the people suffering inside? Of course, if my cousin is here specifically, If someone is waiting to choke me here, then just pretend that Yaoer didn’t say it just now.”
Her words made Luo Mingyu's expression change instantly!
Countless surprises flashed through his eyes!
This Luo Zhiyao...
It seems to be different from when he was in the palace!
The Second Emperor's uncle said that she kept it secret, but he still didn't believe it...
Now it seems that he is not as well-behaved as he was when they first met.
But in the final analysis, it’s just a girl movie!
What storms can it cause?
Thinking about it, Luo Mingyu smiled slightly.
"Yao'er was joking. My cousin came here this time just to help you out if something happens. How could he take away your credit?"
"Oh? It turns out that in the eyes of my cousin, the suffering of the people is just a bargaining chip used to measure merit?"
Jiang Yunluo is aggressive and will not give in!
Luo Mingyu's face darkened again, and a hint of sinisterness suddenly flashed across his face.
On the side, Guo Yongnian and Wei Yan were even more aggressive and did not dare to show off!
I thought that the princess who was living in the outside world must be extremely cautious once she entered the palace, but this time she must have been sent by the king helplessly.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a powerful character!
Prince Mingyu choked up after even a few words and was speechless!
Jiang Yunluo glanced at the expressions of the two of them with her peripheral vision, feeling a little relieved.
She did it on purpose.
I'm new here and don't understand the behavior of local officials, so why not show off first?
Even if they are the same as Luo Mingyu, they still have to know that she, Jiang Yunluo, is not someone to be trifled with!
Since she has planned to temporarily fulfill her father's wish for the spiritual stone on the jade seal, there is nothing to hide!
So what if you show off your edge?
Anyway, no matter what, what should be targeted should still be targeted at her!
"you……"
Luo Mingyu seemed to want to say something else.
However, Jiang Yunluo was too lazy to pay attention to him, and walked directly into the city, saying in a deep voice: "Zheng Sinong and others are still halfway there. If my cousin wants to pursue the matter of first-come-first-served, then go and pursue them. Prefect Wei, please lead the way."
Wei Yan came back to his senses instantly, his expression and attitude were much more respectful than before, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, please, princess."
The group of people walked slowly towards the city.
Whether in Donglai or Beiming, Jiang Yunluo was used to the prosperity of the capital.
Even in Xuecheng and Yicheng in the northeast, the people lived a stable and prosperous life.
But the city in front of me was completely different.
As soon as I walked down the street, I was almost hit by the smell of lifelessness.
The common people coming and going all had their heads lowered like zombies, not caring about the people around them.
It's just that everyone is staring at the bucket of water in their hands.
Like looking at some treasure.
"Prefect Wei, this is..."
Jiang Yunluo stopped, her heart tightening.
The prefect Wei let out a long sigh.
"The princess doesn't know that Huaicheng has been suffering from drought and little rain all year round, but it has not affected the lives of the locals much. But this year, I don't know what happened. Autumn has already entered, and the sun is getting more and more poisonous day by day!
First, many old people in the city fell ill, then, for some reason, the good land could not grow anything... and then came the locust plague! There is nothing left to eat of the food that was planted in the spring and ready for harvest!
Now every household has to draw water per person every day from the two wells in the city that have not yet dried up. As for the rations...Xiaguan opened the warehouse the day before yesterday to release grain. All the people in the city live frugally, plus what they have saved, at most If it lasts for more than a month, if the drought still cannot be solved...I'm afraid..."
