After the general's legitimate daughter was reborn, the ascetic prime minister pinched her wais

When it started to rain, they had already left Baizao Mountain and entered the cypress corridor. In another quarter of an hour, they could reach Baizao Town.

There were towering ancient cypresses on both sides of the cypress corridor, and the road was rarely smooth. They continued to move forward despite the light rain.

After Chu Xu shot that arrow, everyone got out of their fatigue temporarily, became alert again, and their horses speeded up a lot, and finally arrived at their residence before the heavy rain.

"If it's any later, the rain will soak us."

Prince Gong looked at the pouring rain outside and laughed. Although his clothes were soaked, he was in a happy mood.

Hearing that the hot water was ready, he went back to his room to take a bath while humming a tune.

Gao Wenyan threw a bag of silver to the guards and asked them to eat something good. He turned around and saw Zhiyan acting in a hurry. Asked him what happened, Zhiyan saw no one around before telling him that he was looking for a drugstore.

Chu Xu's arrow was shot with force, so the wound that was about to scab opened again.

Not only was it not treated in time, but he rode so fast that he even got caught in the rain, so the wound became inflamed again.

Gao Wenyan once again avoided the guard as usual and climbed through his window.

Chu Xu was about to open the window when he saw a head sticking out of the screen window. Who else could it be if it wasn't Gao Wenyan?

She was about to knock on the window with the agreed code, but before her hand fell, she saw that the window had been opened inwards.

Chu Xu lowered his head slightly and couldn't help but smile.

Gao Wenyan was seen squatting half-crouching, holding the window sill with both hands, looking up at him, his eyes looking like paint.

"Where did you come from, little thief?" he joked.

Gao Wenyan smiled, motioned for him to give in, and then turned over and entered the house in a familiar manner.

He had put on clean clothes and his complexion was fair, but his lip color was still very light.

Gao Wenyan couldn't help but think of that day in the Prime Minister's Mansion, when his lips were dyed red with blood, and he looked really good-looking.

"Is the Prime Minister's wound harmful?"

"But Zhiyan is talking nonsense?"

By not speaking, she acquiesced. She saw pens and papers on the table and thought Chu Xu should be handling official business.

"The Prime Minister is provoking you endlessly, please take care of yourself."

Chu Xu pushed the folding paper in front of him and said: "There is a flood in Wenzhou. Your Majesty asked General Pingxi to control the flood."

Xue He?

Gao Wenyan sneered in his heart, the Holy Emperor really put him in high regard and tried every means to make him perform meritorious service. When the escort failed, he went to control the floods, which was all he had to do to get the fame in front of him.

Chu Xu didn't avoid her. He picked up the pen and started writing something. As he wrote, he said, "Guess who I asked to help him?"

For a moment, several names flashed through his mind, but seeing the cunning smile on the corner of his mouth, Gao Wenyan had no choice but to guess in another direction.

"Xie Shen?"

Chu Xu smiled and nodded: "Exactly."

Seeing how determined he was to win, Gao Wenyan was secretly happy, thinking that it would be better if he could straighten out Xue He by the way.

"What does the Prime Minister need from me?"

"Not urgent."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the two exchanged glances. Gao Wenyan understood and wanted to jump out of the window.

Unfortunately, as soon as she opened it a crack, she saw the guards patrolling here, so Gao Wenyan quickly closed the window again.

Baizao Town is no better than Shengjiu Town. It is a town in the mountains with many things that are simple and crude. The furnishings in this room were all visible. The only wardrobe was locked, and boxes were stuffed under the bed. Gao Wenyan didn't even have a place to hide.

"Prime Minister!"

It's Prince Gong.

Chu Xu originally thought of forgetting it and just finding any reason to fool Prince Gong. Unexpectedly, Gao Wenyan moved, flew to the bed, pulled the quilt, and covered himself.

This is a risk-taking.

He suppressed his laughter, walked over and put down the bed curtains, and said to the outside, "What's the matter?"

Prince Gong entered the house and found nothing unusual.

"There is news that there are bandits in Nanxiu Town."

"Any more?"

"No, I only know this much now."

Prince Gong paced back and forth in the house and said, "The rest of the journey is safe. A small group of troops is enough to protect me. Why don't we let Wen Yan take the rest of the troops back to Nanxiu Town to suppress the bandits?"

"We don't have much information right now, so we might as well discuss this matter tomorrow. Prince Gong has had a hard day, so he'd better rest early."

Upon hearing the order to expel guests, Prince Gong was slightly surprised and wanted to say something, but after seeing Chu Xu's eyes, he swallowed his words.

"The Prime Minister is also working hard, so I won't bother you."

"Come out."

Gao Wenyan got out of bed, feeling a little embarrassed afterwards.

"The girl did the right thing by following the emergency."

She walked over to Chu Xu and changed the topic: "Is the secret letter intercepted by the Prime Minister this afternoon related to this bandit?"

Chu Xu pulled out the note from under the desk and handed it to her palm. Gao Wenyan unfolded it and took a look, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Prime Minister, what is this?"

It's like a blank piece of paper!

"The girl's intuition is sharp, but she worries too much because she lacks experience in leading a team."

The words that were obviously words of encouragement fell into his mouth, and his tone became calm, as if he was just stating a fact quietly.

However, even Gao Wenyan did not expect that she would remember these words for a long time. She would involuntarily think of these words of encouragement in every wavering moment.

Now, she realized that today was just a play he directed and acted.

Chu Xu saw her self-doubt and used this move to make her firm in her choice and make others more convinced of her.

Gao Wenyan reflected: He looked forward and backward, and was afraid of unsatisfactory consequences when he made a decision, but he never thought that if he was shaken, how could the people below him be convinced?

Chu Xu helped her in this way, which surprised her. Gao Wenyan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He was about to salute Chu Xu, but Chu Xu raised his hand to block him.

He smiled and said, "Girl, this is a big deal."

At night, another message came from the spies, so they finally knew the details of Nanxiu Town.

It turned out that after dark, when it was raining heavily, the bandits rushed down from the mountains and surrounded the inn in the town.

Nanxiu Town is poor. How can the residents of the town have any extra money? So the bandit came for this passerby.

Seeing that there were only a few travelers in the inn, the bandits were so angry that they had no choice but to rob them of their money and leave cursingly.

"Girl...she has a clever plan, and I admire her."

If it weren't for Gao Wenyan's decision, they would be the ones surrounded tonight.

In fact, not only Prince Gong, but also the guards below were convinced after the news spread.

Gao Wenyan had the same idea as Prince Gong, and wanted to go back and eliminate the bandits, but Chu Xu raised objections.

"They are familiar with the terrain and have the advantage. Their goals are clear and they come and go without a trace. Unless there is a complete plan, it is not advisable to act rashly. Since no people were injured, forget it this time. It will not be too late to find ways to deal with them in the future. "

Seeing that Lin Yishan had the same opinion, Gao Wenyan had no choice but to give up.

People were tired and horses were exhausted. After reaching an agreement, they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

Gao Wenyan took a step behind and saw Chu Xu coming and asked, "How did the girl sense that something was going to happen in Nanxiu Town?"

She was slightly surprised: "Prime Minister, don't you know?"

She thought that Chu Xuding had seen the clues and supported her decision so much.

Chu Xu shook his head and said truthfully: "I feel something is wrong, but I will not withdraw from Nanxiu Town because of this."

Gao Wenyan said it was because of the escort team.
