i don't want to be emperor

"Why are you here?!" Hu Yin asked in surprise when he saw Liu Qingxuan, who was obviously waiting for them on horseback by the road outside the city, in a brown outfit.

Liu Qingxuan just glanced at him briefly, then looked at Qin Yi who was riding a black horse, and said in a solemn tone: "When I went down the mountain, the master told me that if you find what you want to do, you can do it. There is no need to go back." At this point, she got off her horse, half-kneeled in front of Qin Yi, looked up at him and asked, "Now, I have found what I want to do most. Are you willing to let me be with you?" Shall we go together?"

Because of her seriousness, Qin Yi didn't mean to be perfunctory. He looked down at her and asked, "You know my identity and the purpose of my trip. You should understand the dangers along the way. Even so, you still want to Want to come with me?"

With firm eyes, Liu Qingxuan replied firmly, "Yes!"

"Well, since you have this heart, I will not underestimate your determination." Qin Yi nodded slightly, "Then, from today on, you will be my bodyguard Liu."

"Yes, master." Compared to Hu Yin who still calls Qin Yi the little emperor, Liu Qingxuan has a good acceptance of her status as a bodyguard. After standing up and responding, she returned to her horse and drove to the Qin Yi was halfway behind, and then asked, "Master, where are we going next?"

"Ningcheng in the Northwest." Qin Yi said while driving his horse forward, "It is the most severely drought-stricken area, and the results of disaster relief in previous years have not been satisfactory. ), I'm going to see if he can handle the disaster well."

The incident in Liucheng was just an episode, he decided to go to Ningcheng from the very beginning.The excuse was ready, and he forcibly took away the second prince's disaster relief errand, which was almost customary, so he didn't believe that his second prince brother would do nothing.

Ning Cheng at this moment was like a deep sea vortex, if he didn't pay attention, he would be drawn into it, and he would be crushed to pieces.Moreover, there were ready-made excuses to use, and it was a perfect escape for him.

As he expected, his decision did not receive any refutation, and the three of them rode together from the official road to Ningcheng.

Ningcheng used to be a very prosperous city, but when the disaster struck, the land became barren and dry, and most of the water sources also dried up. Only a few ancient wells that existed before the establishment of Ningcheng were still able to draw water, supporting Ningcheng. The daily drinking of the remaining population in the city.

Fortunately, there is a salt field near Ningcheng, and the workers working in the salt field can barely support their families with their meager salaries.

After walking on the official road for two days, the three of them saw a very conspicuous guard of honor from a distance.

At the center of the guard of honor, surrounded by layers of guards, are the eight-carried sedan chairs belonging to the imperial envoys, and several carriages covered with felt cloth.

This time, the person who came to provide relief was Zhang Su, Minister of Rites, who was also a student of Prime Minister Wang Lang.Although Wang Lang didn't take special care of him after he got the result of Tanhua in the Beijing exam six years ago, considering his teacher's face, his official career can be said to be smooth.

After becoming the minister of the Ministry of Rites, according to the official practice, Zhang Su needs to work in this position for at least five years before he can further rise.

As for the opportunity Wang Lang had won for him as an imperial envoy, if he did well, he would no longer need to stay in this position that was not suitable for his abilities.

As a teacher, Wang Lang didn't care much about this outstanding student, but he actually helped him figure out a way out.

"Master, do you need us to follow up and covertly protect?" Liu Qingxuan asked after seeing Qin Yi looking at the convoy not far away and seeing the identity of the convoy.

Qin Yi turned the horse's head and walked onto the side path: "No, let's go directly to Ningcheng."

Wang Lang has never been a high-profile person, and most of his students have the same temperament as him, and they don't like extravagance.Although Zhang Su's family is well-off, this kind of serious and exaggerated battle is not like his style.

Whether he wanted to lure the snake out of the cave or divert the tiger away from the mountain, one thing Qin Yi was sure of was that there was definitely no 50 taels of gold for disaster relief in that convoy.

Money touches people's hearts. It is impossible to say that no one in the 50 taels of gold court has any ideas.However, the fact that the gold was raised by the Empress Dowager made it impossible for most thoughtful people in the court to think about it.

Among those who have the courage and ability to make this golden idea, his second brother who has already regarded it as something in his pocket must have already started to act.

If you go to Ningcheng from this side road, maybe you can still see a good show.

Although Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan didn't know what Qin Yi was thinking, after Qin Yi had already walked down the path, they followed into that path.The three of them walked on this small road for about half a day. When they passed a not very dense forest, Hu Yin, who appeared to be the most skilled in martial arts, suddenly stopped his horse: "Wait a minute."

Qin Yi reined in his horse, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hu Yin frowned and looked at the woods beside the road. Before he could speak, he heard a panicked voice from the woods beside the road that could be heard by ordinary people: "Brother, are we being killed?" Found?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Another voice scolded, "How could we be discovered so perfectly."

"Then why did that man stop?"

"Stupid, haven't you heard the old saying that you can't enter the forest? That man is just more cautious."

"Brother, if that's the case, why are we ambush in the woods?" The first voice asked in confusion.

"You don't understand." The voice of the man called Big Brother was full of pride, "It is because most people have this understanding that we can increase our deterrent power."

"Brother, shouldn't we go out now?"

The woods became quiet all of a sudden, and after a while, two five-and-three thick men with guns in their hands and bearded faces ran out of the woods and stopped in front of Qin Yi and the others. The man threw the knife on the ground, poked a hole in the ground with great strength, and then shouted loudly, "rob!"

Well, that's really concise.

The strong man behind him seemed weaker, and said, "Yes, robbery! Hand over all the valuables!"

Liu Qingxuan, who originally thought they were just two little thieves, put away the relaxed expression on her face after seeing the traces on the ground, rode forward, stopped in front of Qin Yi, and asked with a smile: "What if Why don't we pay?"

"Hmph." The man standing in front gave a smirk, "Little brother, you should think about it. If you lose your money, you can earn more. If you lose your life, you will lose everything."

Hu Yin snorted coldly when he heard the words: "If you want our lives, you don't want to see if you have the ability."

When the two sides were confronting each other, Qin Yi suddenly asked with a look of enlightenment: "Are you robbers?"

The bearded man, who was about to say a few harsh words, was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't it obvious enough for me?"

Qin Yi smiled embarrassingly: "Because you are a little different from the one in the storybook, I didn't realize it for a while."

The bearded man frowned, before he could say anything, Qin Yi spoke again: "Then why do you want to be robbers?"

Looking at Qin Yi's curious eyes, the bearded man suddenly became irritable for some reason, and shouted in a very sharp tone: "What's the matter with you?!"

"This is the first time I've seen a real robber, so I'm a little curious." Qin Yi didn't look angry at all, but still smiled, "Looking at you like this, is there some unexplainable reason?"

As a result, as soon as he said this, the bearded man on the opposite side stared at Qin Yi as if he had been poked in some sore spot, and the blade pointed at Qin Yi and said angrily: "You kid, are you making fun of us?! "

"What a bad temper." Qin Yi curled his lips, "Then, how about we make a bet?"

"You and Hu Yin, the person who talked to you just now, have a fight. If you win, I will give you all the valuables on your body." Qin Yi suggested with great interest, "If you lose, , just tell me how you became a robber, and I will let you go, how about it?"

Qin Yi's proposal didn't seem to be a problem. The bearded man thought about it carefully, and felt that with his own skills, he could definitely beat the little boy in front of him, and even if he lost, there was nothing to lose, so he agreed. : "Okay, I hope you keep your word."
