It is said that I was cannon fodder

Chapter 64 The Princess Who Was Cannon Fodder 11

"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, Ning Cheng is ahead." Luo Yun's voice came from outside the carriage.

Qi Ran took a look at Gu Jinyu and said, "Go to the city, rest for one night, and start tomorrow."

"Yes." Luo Yun replied, and drove forward very steadily.

It has been more than half a month since they left Chang'an City. There are many people who want their lives in Chang'an City. Only Gu Jinyu dared to stay away from Chang'an at this time because of his skill, but Qi Ran didn't understand him. Why go to Pingyang, but also willing to pamper him.

At the beginning, the two followed the convoy, the ostentation was big enough, but the goal was also big. After leaving Chang'an, they encountered an assassin. The two simply abandoned the large team and moved forward with only a few cronies.

Without any extra people, Gu Jinyu abandoned the cumbersome palace attire. Out of caution, she changed her appearance, and Qi Ran did the same. The two of them are now a pair of brothers who go out to study, and those people will not be found for a while them.

Gu Jinyu lifted the corner of the car curtain and saw the city gate shrouded in the halo of the setting sun. There were still a few figures standing at the gate, as if there was a dispute.

When their carriage approached, they realized that there were still acquaintances inside.

"Let go of me!" Meng Yun tried to break free, but the person who didn't want to hold him pulled him into his arms violently.

Fang Wei squeezed out a smile, but his eyes were cold, "Brother, brother knows he was wrong, so he won't force you again next time, just go back with me."

After saying this, seeing that Meng Yun was still struggling, he leaned over and said in a low voice: "If you want your performance to reach the ears of the fourth prince, then just resist. If he knows, he will still Want to have you?"

Meng Yun was startled and angry, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly, "You are talking nonsense, I have nothing with you, Your Highness will not be fooled by you!"

Fang Wei thought of something when he heard the words, and said with a sneer, "The important thing is not what happened to us, but what he heard, and he kept saying that he believed you, do you believe it yourself?"

Meng Yun's breath was stagnant, obviously he did not have the confidence in Gu Mingyu as he said, if not for this, he would not have appeared here.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed. Although there are people around him who protect him, if there is a disturbance at the city gate, maybe the news will really reach Gu Mingyu's ears, and he will be embellished. No offense.

The two entered the city very intimately. They really looked like two brothers who had a conflict and reconciled. The guards at the gate of the city watched the excitement, but they didn't pay too much attention.

"Do you want me to send someone to follow?" Qi Ran couldn't help asking when he saw his interesting eyes.

"Well, by the way, check the identity of the person next to Meng Yun. If there is an accident, don't let that person die."

That night, Gu Jinyu got what he wanted.

Fang Wei, the son of a Biezhuang manager, and that Biezhuang happened to be the place where Meng Yun stayed for two years. Now that Fang Wei came here, Gu Jinyu would not believe that there was nothing between the two of them.

Besides, even if it is false, as long as someone can tell the false truth and spread it to Gu Mingyu's ears, his good brother is not a magnanimous gentleman.

"With Fang Wei's means, I'm afraid he can't get the guard next to Meng Yun, so we kindly help him."

He had spoken, and someone below followed suit. After distracting the loyal guard beside Meng Yun, Fang Wei took him away very smoothly. He didn't care about the aftermath, and only let people stare at Meng Yun. Cloud, send a message when there is a change.

Meng Yun knew the "plot" himself, so if he met him now, he might be thinking the same thing.

They didn't stay long in Ningcheng, they headed north all the way, and gradually, Qi Ran also noticed that something was wrong.

Under the scorching sun, he looked at the cracked loess and withered grass, and said, "There seems to be a drought here."

Gu Jinyu didn't get out of the carriage, but poked her head out of the window, and said with a smile, "That's right, the purpose of this trip is to alleviate the drought. There are already signs of this disaster, and Pingyang County is the most serious one, but the sheriff of Pingyang County didn't report it. Even stopped the people below to report.

When they couldn't hide it any longer, these trash thought of asking for help.However, the imperial court issued a batch of disaster relief funds, and the greed continued layer by layer, and it was unknown how much of it could be used on the people. "

Qi Ran was silent, he didn't ask Gu Jinyu where he got the news, and he knew very well that what he said was not impossible.

As for reporting directly to the emperor, the two tacitly did not mention it.

One is that Gu Jinyu's source of information cannot be explained, the other is that they have no evidence, and reporting rashly will only scare the snake, and the third is that this is completely useless to them, and it will arouse the emperor's vigilance and become their death talisman.

Taking this into consideration, Gu Jinyu asked the emperor to go out for fun. That is to say, most of the dragon cavalry troops were stationed outside Chang'an City. In addition, the emperor himself wanted to get rid of Qi Ran, so the emperor was willing to agree to his request.

As for the emperor's fury after they came forward to relieve the disaster, he was no longer worried about it. With military power in his hands and the love of the people because of his meritorious service in disaster relief, as long as the emperor was not stupid, he would definitely not disturb the palace at this time.

After talking thoroughly, there was no change between the two of them. Anyway, Qi Ran didn't intend to go against Gu Jinyu's wishes.

The destination of the two people's trip was Anyuan, the capital of Pingyang County. Because of the dark thoughts of the local county guard and because they didn't want to startle the snake, it took a lot of effort to enter the city.

The two of them didn't plan any elaborate plans. In order to hide, they had only brought a dozen or so people with them, and all of them were martial arts experts, so a dozen or so of them directly took over the Sheriff's Mansion.

Probably the sheriff didn't expect that not long after he submitted the request for help to the court, someone rushed to his door and took his old nest. As a result, none of the masterminds and accomplices in the mansion could escape, and they were all thrown into the dungeon.

In the dungeon, there was originally a county magistrate who was dedicated to serving the people. Gu Jinyu ordered someone to treat his wounds, and then planned to entrust him with the livelihood of the county.

An He panicked and said, "Thank you, my lord and concubine, for saving me, but I am the county magistrate of Yulin, how dare I take responsibility for a county?"

For the sake of convenience, Gu Jinyu changed back to women's clothes at the moment, and the two of them did not hide their identities in front of the magistrate. Hearing what the magistrate said, Gu Jinyu smiled slightly. From the wounds on the magistrate's body, he could tell This is a tough guy, not timid.

"The sheriff's mansion is full of snakes and rats. It's not easy to find someone who can do practical things. We can wait, but the people outside can't wait. Since Mr. An dared to risk his life to contradict the sheriff and speak out for the people, why? Dare not take the responsibility of a county?"

Gu Jinyu paused, and continued: "Master An, if you are worried that the two of us will be in the same rank as the county guard, there is no need. The two of us passed by here, and saw the people's faces were yellow and emaciated, and the number of people who died of starvation was unbearable. The county guard. The reason for letting you, Mr. An, be in charge is only because you are more familiar with the situation here than we are, so that the famine caused by the drought here can be alleviated as soon as possible, so as to avoid the loss of more people."

An He saw that he had no airs of a princess at all, and that he spoke with sincerity, and that what he said and thought were all for the sake of the people, and he felt ashamed immediately.

What he said just now was a conditioned reflex. He was not the only one who opposed the sheriff in Pingyang County. Some of them secretly collected a lot of criminal evidence, intending to bring down the sheriff.

The sheriff got the news somehow, and resorted to many tricks, just to get him to confess other people.He deliberately asked people to rescue him, and also used methods to obtain information. If he hadn't been alert, he might have killed several colleagues.

He was tense all the time, and he didn't fully understand what Princess Jing was asking. Now that he thought about it, what was Princess Jing'an's identity? Even though he was a county magistrate, he didn't have the face to ask the prince or concubine to lie to him personally.

What's more, King Jing'an has fought in the north for years and made great contributions. He sacrificed his life to defend the Daxi Dynasty. He is well-known among the people. He really shouldn't doubt such a loyal minister.

An He was also frank. Although she was ashamed, she did not hide her thoughts.

Naturally, Gu Jinyu would not blame him. It was because of his sincerity that he would not deliberately conceal the efforts he and Qi Ran had made in it.

When they came, they came in light clothes, so naturally they didn't bring any food, but Pingyang County had ready-made ones, and those who were in league with the county guards were wiped out.

As for those merchants who kept their duty or were somewhat conscientious, they did not embarrass them. They just bought the grain they had stored at a fair price. With these, they would be enough for a period of time until they dispatched grain from other places.

An He is a clean and honest person who is dedicated to serving the people, and it is very appropriate to deliver the collected grain to him, and when he distributes the grain, he does not forget to promote Jing'an Wang and his wife to the people.

It is good to add flowers to the cake, but giving charcoal in the snow is even more precious. To the people here, Gu Jinyu and Qi Ran are like gods, bringing them hope.
