After waiting in Hongzhou for a few days, the transfer order from the imperial court came down.

Led by Nangong Jin, the other generals were outside to receive orders.

This imperial edict roughly talked about several things.

First, he praised Nangong Jin for his quick response and timely rescue. Second, he asked him to clean up the local spies and escort the remaining big bosses to Beijing. Third, he sent an official here.

In fact, it should have been done a long time ago.

After listening to this, Nangong Yuan asked, "Who else did the court send?"

"The Ministry of War and your Majesty's confidant will personally take over the iron mine."

"That's good. It's always unsettling to have this thing wandering around outside." She could have gotten out of bed and walked a long time ago.

But everyone strongly opposed her running around, so they forced her to rest for a few days.

Today she finally got out for a walk and some fresh air, and then she ran into the imperial edict.

"Also, what happened to those who were killed?"

Nangong Jin sighed when he talked about this. Even though he had fought on the battlefield and seen many deaths, he still couldn't bear it at this moment.

Those who died in the mass graves were all ordinary people.

I have been an honest and upright person in my life and have never done anything harmful to others.

Because of this, after being arrested, their families were powerless to fight back.

"I'll have someone carry the body out and let the people in the city come to claim it. Yu Chengye happens to have plenty of money, so I'll use his money to comfort the family."

Nangong Yuan nodded: "That's not bad."

The dead cannot be resurrected, not to mention that some of the bodies in the mass graves were so rotten that they were unrecognizable.

She thought about it and went out to take a look, and sure enough, she saw the group of people at the gate of the yamen.

Those who claimed the body were all crying at the door, and the scene was heartbreaking.

Fortunately, there is still money to be collected, which can at least support the family after taking it back.

Nangong Yuan stood there for a long time, and only decided to leave when she saw that most people had left.

"Why did you come out? Are you healed?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Nangong Yuan said: "I'm almost getting moldy, so I came out to get some sun."

The man couldn't help laughing: "Are you done drying the sun? Aren't you going back to wait for the moon to shine?"

In response, Nangong Yuan nodded: "It's for beauty and skin care, isn't it?"

"It's not impossible."

It’s strange, even though this guy is very boring, Nangong Yuan just likes to tease him.

He wouldn't argue, it was just fun.

"Let's go. You haven't recovered from your injuries yet. Don't stand here and smell the stench of corpses."

The faces of the people dragged out of the mass grave at the top were still visible, but those at the bottom were so blurred that they were unrecognizable.

She nodded and followed, her steps brisk.

Chen Lou felt relieved now. He had originally thought that she had run away just to show off.

But seeing that her steps were light and she didn't look injured, I thought she was almost recovered.

"The emperor issued an imperial decree, asking my brother to escort these people back to the capital."

Chen Lou was not surprised, as this was a necessary procedure.

"That's great. I'm afraid there will be more chaos when I return to Beijing this time."

Nangong Yuan tilted her head to look at him: "What about you, where are you going?"

"Let's see the situation first."

"Well, now that my injury has healed, you can treat me to a meal."

She jumped in front of Chenlou, her eyes bright when she smiled.

Chen Lou said: "Okay, let's go there."

He pointed to the restaurant not far away, looking very calm.

"Okay, you said so, but you can't blame me for eating too much."

She happily asked someone to send a message home, saying that she was eating out and there was no need to leave any food for her.

In fact, it was mainly because she was greedy.

After she was injured these days, the chicken and mutton soup that Tao Zhu cooked for her was almost not spicy.

And the taste was very light, plus she was taking medicine and she wanted to run very much.

But... Tao Zhu was also afraid that she had really discovered the secret to controlling her, so she would cry as long as Nangong Yuan did not cooperate.

········

"Well, okay, stop crying."

Although Nangong Yuan likes to talk a lot, he is really not very good at comforting people.

So I was in a panic, but finally compromised.

"Eat whatever you want, it's my treat."

Chenlou invited her to eat mutton hotpot. The weather was hot these days, but it was also delicious to eat it at night.

“So spicy.”

Seeing her red eyes, Chen Lou handed her a glass of water and said, "Do you want me to ask the store to replace it with mushroom soup?"

"No, it tastes better this way."

She wiped her red eyes, drank a sip of water, and continued to eat.

After abstaining from food for so long, she finally ate something tasty.

"Eat slowly, there's more."

Nangong Yuan put the vegetables into the soup pot: "Eat quickly too, try this."

Next to me is a bowl of ice jelly given by the store, which contains crushed ice and tastes very refreshing.

"Thank you."

He lowered his head to eat and didn't say a word.

Nangong Yuan propped up her chin while waiting for the food to be cooked, thinking, "This feels pretty good."

Apart from the mission, she felt a lot of love in this world.

Whether it is the Nangong family or others.

"But I have to go back eventually, so I should just enjoy the present moment."

When she thought of this, she laughed at herself.

"By the way, your disguise skills don't seem to be very good. There's no expression on your face."

Nangong Yuan stared at him for a while and said this.

"Oh?"

He raised his head and said, "Compared to you, it is indeed much inferior."

No one knew what method Nangong Yuan used, but her appearance as a man was so difficult to identify.

"of course."

What she has is the top-grade face-changing pill produced by the system, and the effect is amazing.

However, it seems that Chen Lou has some very skilled people under his command, and the reason why he wears such a mask is probably that he chose it himself.

"But seriously, your face is really well disguised. If I didn't have sharp eyes, I really wouldn't be able to tell."

Seeing her so complacent, Chen Lou couldn't help but smile.

The smile was fleeting, but it left Nangong Yuan stunned.

"Oh, you can actually laugh? And your laugh is pretty nice."

She didn't notice that Chenlou's earlobe was slightly red in the steam.

"I'm not made of wood."

Nangong Yuan said: "When we first met, I really thought you were a piece of wood."

He is quiet and has no expression. He looks cold and scary.

After being together for a long time, he has become quite popular.

"I thought you were a dignified lady."

Nangong Yuan raised an eyebrow: "It's okay, but what's the point of that?"

There are so many young ladies in the world, some are dignified and gentle, some are generous and beautiful.

But she, Nangong Yuan, is the only one in the world. Isn’t she precious enough?

Chen Lou had a smile on his face, seemingly agreeing with what she said.

Nangong Yuan was happy today and drank a few glasses of wine.

She didn't have a good alcohol tolerance to begin with, and the liquor in this shop was quite strong, so she felt a little sleepy after a few drinks.

"Do you still want to eat?"

She shook her head: "No, I'm full." At this moment, Nangong Yuan was inexplicably cute.
