Rebirth of the only favorite fool

On the official road leading to the northwest from the imperial capital, there is a long motorcade, with one glance you can see the end but not the end.

This is a convoy going to the northwest to transport supplies and relief. The front and rear of the convoy are surrounded by designated troops. The troops in front are guarded on horseback, while the troops behind are protected by infantry.As for those in the convoy, apart from the supplies sent by the imperial court, they were those wealthy people who wanted to compete for the position of imperial merchants and the property they were going to donate.

Those wealthy people in the imperial capital are all worth a lot of money. In order to compete for the first batch of imperial merchants who came down, and to please them in front of the superiors, the donated things this time are not small, almost accounting for [-]% of the material team. half.Those wealthy people not only donated things, but most of them went to the battle in person or appointed family members to go to the disaster-stricken area in the northwest with the army to help assign people to distribute materials, so as to be able to participate in the prince's disaster relief activities. make an effort.

And their cars are basically protected in the middle of the team.

Gu Huaiyu propped open the car window with one hand, and propped it outward to raise the car window.

At this time, the winter crops are withered, and there is a wasteland outside the car window. There is nothing on the field except the frozen land covered with snow, and there are no people around except the orderly motorcade. From a distance, the world is vast and lonely, only covered with hazy snow. The distant mountains are faintly reflected in the pupils.

Xue Jia, who was originally sitting in the car, got up and turned on the charcoal fire in the small silver stove in the car, and let out a long breath: "I don't know how serious the situation in the northwest is?"

Gu Huaiyu turned around, stretched out his hand to gather Xue Jia's clothes, and said in a low voice: "I heard from the people who came back before that the situation over there seems to be very tense. Several small-scale riots broke out among the victims, but they quickly disappeared. It was suppressed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xue Jia was slightly surprised: "Small scale? Didn't the prince already bring the first batch of supplies?"

Gu Huaiyu's tone was a little heavy: "After the snowstorm in the Northwest, it was not dealt with effectively in the first place, and the order was not stabilized until His Royal Highness took action. It seems that those officials in the Northwest have been in official positions for too long, and their minds are a little rotten. Yes. I heard rumors among the refugees that many officials in the Northwest didn't think about disaster relief at the first moment, but instead wanted to exploit the disaster relief funds allocated by the court. No wonder His Majesty appointed the prince to go there not long after, otherwise the outbreak would be serious. It must have been a small riot."

Xue Jia's brows and eyes were also a little dignified.Although Gu Huaiyu never mentioned to him the affairs he was involved in, he still often told him about changes in the court situation, so that he could understand the trends in the court, so that he would not be ignorant of the overall situation outside.Regarding the current situation, Xue Jia can naturally see some ways: "If this is the case, I am afraid that a big change is yet to come."

Gu Huaiyu nodded, took out a token from his pocket and stuffed it into Xue Jia's hand. He said with a serious expression: "The situation is tense now. Although we have the protection of the army, we have to worry about unexpected situations. This time we are going to the northwest. Although there is Yuelang by my side, I secretly assigned a small team to join our hands to protect us. There are seven people in the small team. You don’t know them. If something happens to me, take out this Block tokens, naturally they can be dispatched. When the time comes, remember to protect yourself first.”

Xue Jia tightened her hand holding the token, and frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, nothing will happen to us."

Gu Huaiyu smiled slightly: "I'm just in case, it's good that nothing happens."

Xue Jia thought for a while, put away the token, held Gu Huaiyu's hand beside him and said in a low voice, "We will all be fine."

Gu Huaiyu's destination is Wancheng.

The snowstorm in Wancheng was the most serious this time, and Prince Zhou Chen also came to Wancheng first to sit in town.When the second batch of supplies arrived in Wancheng, Zhou Chen personally led the team to bring the convoy into the inner city of Wancheng, and hand-picked the supplies in person.After the supplies were put into storage, Zhou Chen personally met the wealthy people who came to assist in the disaster relief, and had a face-to-face conversation with them.

Regardless of whether those wealthy businessmen came here for disaster relief or for their own fame and status, Zhou Chen's actions undoubtedly won their favor greatly. When they heard that they could meet the prince in person, they were all excited endlessly.

Although the prince Zhou Chen was almost brought up by Xiao Ronglian, but Gu Huaiyu and His Highness the prince did not have any intersection, almost only met a few times, and basically watched from a distance from the crowd, just like At that Qing banquet.This is the first time we have had a face-to-face conversation.

When they, the wealthy businessmen, basically arrived at the hall to meet the prince, the prince and the people around him finally rushed over.Xue Jia stared blankly at the group of people walking in against the light, looked carefully again and again, then pulled Gu Huaiyu's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Huaiyu, do you feel that there is a person behind the prince Does it look familiar?"

The person behind the prince?Gu Huaiyu looked behind the prince calmly after hearing the words, but found nothing.

Most of the princes were followed by officials under him, and moreover, officials from Wancheng, how could Jia Er feel familiar?

Xue Jia saw that the prince and others had already taken their seats one by one, so it was difficult to say anything, so she kept quiet.

I saw the prince sitting down and waving his sleeves to the people around him, with a dignified expression and a calm demeanor, although he looks like a boy, he is not the style of the Tian family: "Keep your words simple, this time the disaster broke out in the Northwest, it is fierce, and many people have dead bodies everywhere. , or trapped in the local area without food and starvation, seeing everyone generously donating materials to save the people from the fire and water, on behalf of the Dayu royal family, I am really grateful.” After speaking, Zhou Chen stood up and looked at the scene below. The man bowed slightly to show respect.

Gu Huaiyu and others also stood up one after another, hurriedly saluted the crown prince, saying that they dare not dare.

This is Crown Prince Dayu, who would dare to sit and accept the ceremony with peace of mind?

After the young prince made a gesture, he stopped being polite to them, and directly said: "The situation in the northwest is very critical now, and I don't care to lie to everyone. Right now, we really need manpower and supplies to help, so for The friendship of everyone who was able to rush here was recorded in my heart alone. But it is not too late, the disaster relief work cannot be postponed, and now the newly shipped supplies need to be arranged as soon as possible, so I first drew up a charter in my heart, Discuss with you guys."

Next, the little prince didn't say a word of nonsense, and arranged things in an orderly manner according to the disaster relief process he had already set.Although the disaster relief agenda must have been agreed upon by the crown prince and the staff around him, but the agenda was complete and detailed, and all aspects were considered very reasonable and carefully, so that the people below could not help but secretly marvel in admiration.

After all, the prince is only a 13-year-old boy now, and he can take on the responsibility of disaster relief all by himself. He is neither confused by the severity of the disaster, nor panicked by dispatching people, and handles affairs calmly and without panic , although he is young, he is quite majestic, and people can't help but obey his orders. He is really a talent for governing the country.

It seems that the position of the prince will not be shaken without accident.

Many people below are thinking so secretly.

When the crown prince was arranging affairs, Xue Jia couldn't help but look at the officials beside the crown prince.

Behind an official next to the prince, there is a thin man in green clothes, who seems to be a literati or other staff member, his side face is covered by hanging hair, and the whole person is hidden in the corner behind him, looking very inconspicuous.

But Xue Jia repeatedly looked in that person's direction, seeming a little absent-minded.

That person... looks very much like Chen Linqing.

Since Xue Jia threw Chen Linqing, who was holding him hostage, out of Wancheng five years ago, they have never seen each other again. Xue Jia thought that they would never see each other again in this life, but fate is always such a coincidence.

Will it be that person?

After they separated in Wancheng that year, did they meet again in Wancheng?

After everyone came out of the front hall, Xue Jia followed behind the crowd, tugged on Gu Huaiyu's sleeve in private, pointed to his side and whispered, "Huaiyu, look at that man."

Gu Huaiyu frowned and looked, the person Xue Jia was referring to was the staff behind Wancheng City Lord.

He also approached Xue Jia from the side and whispered: "Why, is there something wrong with him?"

Xue Jia paused for a moment, and then slowly said to Gu Huaiyu: "I think he seems to be Chen Linqing."

As soon as Xue Jia finished saying this, he saw the man in Tsing Yi who was walking in front of them suddenly turn his head, his face turned towards Xue Jia's direction, his eyes shot straight at him, and an obscure smile flashed across his face.

Xue Jia couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

He whispered softly: "Could it be that he recognized us?"

Gu Huaiyu was much calmer.He just looked at the man, then looked away as if nothing had happened, and held Xue Jia's hand under his sleeve, with a faint smile on his face: "No. Our disguise has not changed in the past five years." People can see through it, but it won't be so easy for him to see through it. Don't think too much about it."

Then Gu Huaiyu added: "We can go and find out how he changed his appearance and became the staff of the Wancheng City Lord."

Wancheng looks okay inside the city, and it doesn't look like it's at an extremely critical moment, but as long as you go out of the city, you can see dilapidated refugee camps, disaster victims in ragged clothes and deep-rooted people everywhere. A frozen body or two emerged from the snow.

This was the scene after Prince Zhou Chen came to rectify for a while.

When the snowstorm first broke out, Wancheng officials were ineffective in governance, and many people under their rule were displaced without shelter. The scene at that time was even more miserable.After the prince came to get started with the affairs, he did not immediately punish those officials with ulterior motives, but mobilized all available forces to rescue the disaster.It's just that once some officials disobeyed the dispatch and delayed the rescue of the disaster, the prince would mobilize his troops to remove them directly and take them into custody.Those officials who were still in office saw the determination and intensity of the prince's disaster relief, so they got busy in a panic, and followed the prince's order to arrange disaster relief matters, hoping that the prince would forgive their initial negligence.

Fans of the authorities.Gu Huaiyu, who was watching from the sidelines, could clearly see the determination and perseverance of the young prince. If those people were only temporarily helpless in the face of the disaster and neglected their duties, they could still push it to Shangguan, saying that Shangguan was ineffective in dispatching, but Gu Huaiyu listened to the wind, Most of these people are also involved in the mud of corruption, so there is no way to save them.After the catastrophe is over, the disaster is over, and the crown prince finds out all of this, no one here can escape.

Gu Huaiyu looked at the Wancheng City Lord who stood at the front line in the crowd and pretended to lead by example, and sneered slightly. Under this man's rule, corruption and the protection of officials and officials led to the darkness around Wancheng. As a parent, how could he not know about it?Now it's a little too late to pretend to be righteous and caring for the people, trying to impress the prince, hoping that the prince will forget to deal with them?It's just because he still has some use value now, and stabilizing him is tantamount to stabilizing the entire bureaucratic system of Wancheng, so the prince will make false claims with him.When the prince freed his hand, he was afraid that he would be the first one to clean up.

"There are a lot of people queuing up at the back now, you two more people here, take things out of the carriage, and open another line."

"Yes."

"You four, cut some people from the middle of the other four rows and line up in the newly opened row. Pay attention to maintaining order and not causing riots among the people."

"Yes."

Gu Huaiyu was distracted for a moment, looked back at Xue Jia beside him who was arranging the distribution of supplies in an orderly manner, and slowly curled up a warm smile at the corner of his mouth.After a while, he watched the people under him doing the things in their hands in an orderly manner, and there was basically no trouble, so he walked over and took Xue Jia's hand, and squeezed his palm: "There is no big thing here for now. Since you are outside the city, why not take a walk outside and come back later to have a look.”

Xue Jia turned around and looked at him, with a slight smile on his handsome face: "Okay."

Gu Huaiyu reached out and stroked Xue Jia's snow-haired scarf, and combed his hair before holding his hand and walking slowly in the snow.

The snow outside the city was so thick that half of the calves were sunk under the snow, making it difficult to walk in the snow.

But Gu Huaiyu dragged Xue Jia to walk on the snow so slowly, blowing the oncoming snow wind, his mind was unprecedentedly clear, he felt the silence and tranquility in the world, as if he had lost all the sound of people Throwing it behind, as if unheard of.

After walking for a while, neither of them spoke.

When Gu Huaiyu stopped, Xue Jia wanted to say something, but before he could make a sound, a figure approached in front of him, and dropped a soft and cold kiss between his brows.

Xue Jia was slightly taken aback, then slowly raised her eyebrows and eyes, the tiny snow particles on her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a smile was reflected in her eyes.

Gu Huaiyu looked at him for a moment, then hugged him in his arms, kissed him all the way from his forehead, to his eyes, to the bridge of his nose, and then kissed him deeply on his lips, as if this kiss could completely complete the fluctuating emotions in his heart Pass it all the way through.

After Gu Huaiyu stopped, he hugged Xue Jia and said slowly: "I have already found out that Chen Linqing is indeed an aide of the City Lord's Mansion now, but he has changed his name."

"Now his name is Chen Jinxue."

Few people know the origin of this staff member surnamed Chen in the City Lord's Mansion. Those who know him only know that he only appeared in the City Lord's Mansion five years ago. Afterwards, he became an aide of the city lord's mansion, responsible for writing letters on the city lord's official affairs, deeply trusted by the city lord, and also very prestigious in the city lord's mansion, and was respectfully called Mr. Chen.

Near Xue, near Xue, near Xue Simu, thinking eagerly.

Even though you are dead, I will never forget you.
