Empress snatches dried fish

"Huh? She looks pretty good." This time, the woman stepped forward and stretched out her finger to stroke Shu Yonghe's face lightly. She felt the smooth touch on the other's skin, and her expression changed subtly.Then I moved closer and touched his neck, which was still a little dark. As a result, his fingers were indeed covered with fine, gray-black powder, which did not look dirty.

The woman rubbed it with her fingertips, then sniffed it under her nose, and found that the powder exuded a vague fragrance, and concluded: "This person... I'm afraid he is not a commoner."

The other young woman who had been standing next to the woman also followed the example of the woman and repeated, nodding: "Boss, the identities of these two people are really suspicious. Such a pampered body is disguised with this kind of thing and hidden in the transport I don't know what An's heart is in the Liangzhong team. Could it be a spy?"

The woman bowed her head and pondered for a while, then stepped forward without any defense, opened Shu Yonghe's skirt, and looked at the fabric inside: "It's not impossible. Jing'er, do you remember that when we just passed by, not only those who transported The officers and soldiers of Liangzhong are fighting with a group of men in black, and those men in black are also fighting with each other, there may be several groups of people."

Jing'er recalled the scene just now, she didn't remember much, but since the boss said, she would not believe it, and asked: "Since that's the case, I don't know which side these two people are the spies. If so On one side, why not chop off their heads and hang them on the city wall of Chongjing?"

"You don't think we are in enough trouble?" The woman gave Jing'er a sideways look, then stretched out her hand and slapped Shu Yonghe hard on the face.

Hearing a "pa", a red mark appeared on Shu Yonghe's face instantly, and the distinct finger prints on the mark looked very scary.Shu Yonghe woke up suddenly, and subconsciously sat up straight.But because the whole person was not fully awake, he fell back and hit the pillar again.Originally, there was an injury on his head, but this injury and the impact made him dizzy. He was about to faint again, and his clothes were suddenly pulled.

Shu Yonghe only felt that his body moved forward suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a woman's face, and he was so frightened that his eyes widened and he screamed.

"You, you, who are you?!" As soon as Shu Yonghe struggled, he accidentally pulled the wound.After taking a breath of cold air, he immediately stretched out his hand to protect the wound with his palm, and felt that he seemed to have been bandaged.

Recalling it carefully, it seems that I was injured when I was watching the excitement. I looked around and saw that everyone here looked simple... Shu Yonghe felt that he knew the truth - he must have been beaten Injured was about to be robbed, and the hidden guards were busy fighting and didn't see him. These simple people happened to pass by and saw that he was kidnapped by a group of men in black, so they kindly rescued him.

These kind-hearted people not only rescued themselves, but also bandaged their wounds. They are really good people!It's just... Shu Yonghe looked down at his clothes that had been pulled into a ball.Well, just a little rude.But these are not problems, you can't expect every good person to be gentle, and a rude good person is also a good person!

Thinking of this, Shu Yonghe raised his hands to the woman who was holding onto his skirt, "Thank you for your help, I will definitely repay you all in the future."

Saying that, Shu Yonghe smiled and stretched out his hand to push Lin Song who was still asleep.After pushing for several times but still not waking up, he stretched out his hand and pinched his nose tightly, shaking him from side to side and shouting: "Lin Song! Lin Song!"

"Assassins... Assassins! Come, there are assassins!" Lin Song woke up suddenly, and shouted "there are assassins" before he fully opened his eyes. He turned around and saw Shu Yonghe, and grabbed his sleeve: "Are you okay, huh...uh!"

Just as the word "Emperor" started, Lin Song's mouth was tightly covered by Shu Yonghe.After waking up, seeing Shu Yonghe secretly winking at himself, he responded with a knowing look.

Shu Yonghe let go of Lin Song's mouth, took away the woman's hand and adjusted his skirt with a smile: "I'm fine. Lin Song, these kind-hearted people saved us."

When Lin Song heard this, everyone clasped their hands together: "Thank you all for your rescue, our emperor...you must have a big thank you."

The woman and Jing'er looked at each other, and they saw sly eyes from each other's eyes, but the eyes of other people in the cottage at this time were only reading Yonghe and Lin Song's eyes - speechless.Strictly speaking, it was probably looking at the two of them with eyes that looked at the mentally retarded.Obviously they were the ones who kidnapped these two people, but these two people thought they were rescued.

Who would save a person and throw him beside the pillar in the hall instead of putting him on the couch to recuperate? !

However, the woman didn't think that way in her mind. She felt that since it was a misunderstanding, it would be good to let the misunderstanding continue, so as to save them from adding further disputes.In fact, the woman not only guessed that Shu Yonghe was not an ordinary citizen, but also guessed that he might be a member of the royal family.

Firstly, because the attendant (Lin Song) beside him doesn’t seem to be able to be raised by ordinary people, and secondly, because he looks so delicate and tender, ordinary rich people or official families can’t raise such delicate ones. people.Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but she is still very clear about the subtle gap.Thirdly, it is because the attendant's mouth shape was clearly changed from the word "Wang" to "Mr. Huang", don't think she didn't notice it.

This man is most likely a prince.

However, what the woman didn't know was that the "Wang" she thought was actually the unpronounced "Huang".

But normally speaking, no one would have thought that Shu Yonghe, who was pretending to be a small official, would actually be the emperor of Da Chongguo.The emperor in everyone's perception usually corrected the memorials in the imperial study room of the Dunyi Palace, instead of leaving the state affairs behind and messing around outside the palace.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Jing'er waved everyone to disperse, stretched out her hand to pull Shu Yonghe and Lin Song up, and made a gesture of invitation: "Since you are awake, come and sit here with me." let's go."

"Thank you."

Shu Yonghe sat cross-legged on the seat cushion, while Lin Song moved his seat back slightly, and knelt and sat obliquely behind Shu Yonghe. The relationship between the two of them can be seen at a glance.

Although Shu Yonghe treats Lin Song very well, in Lin Song's view, the better Shu Yonghe treats him, the more respectful he should be to Shu Yonghe.Even though it was outside the palace, he couldn't break some of the most basic rules. As a slave, he must never sit on an equal footing with the emperor.And the other people here... forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, not to mention they just saved the emperor, so they can be regarded as meritorious persons.

The woman sat down at the head seat, and asked Shu Yonghe with a smile: "May I ask this young master's name?"

"My name is..." Shu Yonghe was stunned for a moment, he knew that his first name could not be used, and even if Shu's surname was the country's surname, he could not use it.So he turned his brain quickly and said three words: "Huang... Dou Jiang."

"Soybean milk? Hahaha, soymilk!" A half-grown child in the crowd immediately laughed out loud, and immediately shut up and lowered his head after receiving the warning look from the woman in charge, as if sincerely admitting his mistake.

"Sorry, children are not sensible, please forgive me, Mr. Huang."

"It's okay, it's okay, there are no taboos."

Lin Song on the side also held back his laughter silently, not knowing why the emperor gave such a fake name.Then I thought that there was nothing wrong with it, because I accidentally called out the word "Huang" just now, so the emperor can only use the surname "Huang".In addition, since the emperor and the empress got married, it has indeed become a little skinny, probably because it suddenly occurred to me and found it interesting, so I used it.

The woman cupped her hands towards Shu Yonghe: "The little girl's name is He."

"Miss He."

Miss He didn't beat around the bush, and asked Shu Yonghe directly: "With all due respect, why would Mr. Huang appear on the convoy transporting grain seeds? Why did he disguise himself as a delivery official?"

She had already figured it out, if the suspected prince Huang was just here to deliver grain, then she would let him go. If any party was a spy, even if the other party was the royal family, they could only kill him to silence him.After all, there were several groups of people there at that time, and no one knew that they had captured this person, and when the time came, he would kill him and throw him into the deep mountains and wild forests to feed wild animals, and no one would know it.

Under Lin Song's reminder, Shu Yonghe also knew that his makeup had fallen off, so he picked his face a little embarrassed: "Since Miss He is so frank, Dou Jiang will tell the truth. It seems that the place where the girl lives It should also be near Chongjing, so you should have heard about the recent loss of food, military pay and grain seeds?"

Miss He nodded: "That's natural."

"These three things are the most important things for us at the moment, and we absolutely cannot afford to miss them, especially when the spring sowing is approaching, and the frequent robbery of grain seeds is already a public complaint. Chaos." Shu Yonghe paused: "Although Dou Jiang is a commoner, he has some friendship with the adults of the government and wants to do something for the people. This time, he asked the government for orders and personally mixed in with the small officials. Investigating this matter, I didn’t expect to encounter a gang of thieves not long after I left the city. If there were no help from everyone, Dou Jiang’s life might be lost at this moment. Thank you very much.”

Miss He pursed her lips, the embarrassment flashed across her face, she clasped one hand by her mouth and cleared her throat softly to cover up her emotions.However, she noticed that what he said was "a gang of gangsters", so it further proves that this person's identity, whether it is a commoner or a royal prince, should really want to solve this matter, not want to grab food. spies on either side.

Because if they are spies from either side, they will know that there are more than two forces in the men in black, so it is impossible to say "a gang" of gangsters.Only the officers and soldiers judged by their clothes alone would think that the men in black belonged to the same group.

"Then where will Mr. Huang go from here?"

"Naturally, we should go back to the city and report to the government, asking them to deploy Geng's army to escort a new batch of grain." Shu Yonghe also felt very annoyed when he talked about this matter: "However, if the Geng's army is responsible for the distribution of materials in various places, it will naturally be difficult. What will happen, but after all, Geng's army is going to protect the imperial city and the border, if they leave without authorization, I don't know..."

As he said that, Shu Yonghe suddenly realized that he seemed to have talked too much, so he immediately turned a corner: "The emperor must have thought of this situation, so he couldn't make up his mind to send troops out for a long time."

After finishing speaking, Shu Yonghe himself sighed and shook his head, his expression of worrying about the country and the people of an ordinary scholar was evident.

If Miss He hadn't been well-informed, she might have been fooled by Shu Yonghe's acting skills.She can analyze this matter clearly and logically, and with the previous clues, she doesn't even believe that he is not the prince.

"In that case, I will send someone to send Mr. Huang and your entourage down the mountain."

"Thank you Miss He."

……

After hearing Bai San's report, Geng Bai'an's face turned pale, and he pointed at Bai San's hand trembling: "You ten hidden guards are protecting the surroundings, he is fine, how can such a big man be lost! What are you doing?" Well go!"

It has been more than half a year since she married into the palace, and the dark guards have not once or twice because of lack of experience and dereliction of duty, but Geng Bai'an has always smiled and never blamed them.She pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head to be scolded, knowing that they were indeed wrong.Because they are secret guards, and the secret guards have always had only one duty, which is to protect the emperor and queen, so it is normal for them to be punished for dereliction of duty.

Geng Bai'an was angry for a few minutes, then quickly calmed down: "Where are Long Yi and the others?"

"At this time, we are trying our best to search for the emperor's trace."

"Bai Liu stayed, and everyone else went out to look for the emperor's trace. Also, Bai San, you should immediately notify all members of the Supervision Department to dispatch, but this must be kept secret. The emperor's absence from the public must not be publicized, otherwise He's more dangerous."

"Yes."

"Okay, you go."

After Bai San left, Geng Bai'an thought for a while and then recruited the only remaining Bai Liu: "Go to Shu Yonghe and see if the emperor has been arrested by him."

Bai Liu didn't agree, but hesitantly said: "But if Bai Liu also goes out, then by the empress's side..."

"You go, nothing will happen to me in the palace."

Bai Liu hesitated for a while, and finally agreed to leave.The Queen's order cannot be disobeyed, it seems that she can only go and return quickly.

……

After sending someone to send Shu Yonghe down the mountain, Miss He and Jing'er went to the warehouse of the cottage together, looking at the big bags of grain seeds with a smile on their faces.This time plus the ones from the previous robbery, a quarter of the warehouse has been filled. It seems that the Da Chong Emperor is still very generous to the people.She unwrapped a bag, looked at it, and sighed: "The quality of this grain is good. Jing'er, have you checked it?"

Jing'er secretly rolled her eyes, thinking that she can know what kind of grain is good or not?But it's just for fun.Reluctantly, he took out a notebook. He didn't know what was written on it, and it was so densely packed that he felt a little dizzy.

"There are six villages in the vicinity, and five of them have not received the grain seeds distributed above."

"Yeah." Miss He patted the bag after tying it up: "Let's keep half of the bag for ourselves, and distribute the rest equally to each village. Remember to ask them to change the clothes of the servants when they go, and don't let others Knowing that these things were done by us."

"But the princess... we are bandits now!"

"Princess, what princess?! How many times have I told you that I won't be a princess after I escaped marriage, and I still call it that! What if someone hears it!" Miss He hurriedly walked to the warehouse door and quickly looked around to make sure. No one was relieved to hear their conversation.

Yes, this Miss He is the princess who escaped from Shao Kingdom, He Wenjue.Since she was a child, she has always been an out-tempered person, but because of the royal family's face, her reputation outside has always been that of a royal princess in the traditional sense. Without her rights and status, she was just putting on an appearance, and she and Wen Jue didn't care at all.

But helplessly, her half-brothers are all "didn't do business" and "have no ambitions". Only her own brother is slightly better, but it is the adopted son who is the most ambitious, which makes her It was very uncomfortable to watch.In fact, the previous emperors of Shao Kingdom had even given up passing the throne to their sons, and the daughter He Wenjue was most interested in.

Although He Wenjue was naturally intelligent, he had no interest in the throne. Even if her father told her clearly, he refused several times.In order not to take over the throne, he even promised to help his younger brother well, so Emperor Shao Guoxian gave up.

It's just that he didn't expect his younger brother to sell her, his elder sister who wholeheartedly protects him even if the enemy kills him to the palace, not long after he took office. He Wenjue was very angry, and wanted to rush up to give him a few slaps on the spot.But He Wenjue held back, her immediate thought was that she had to escape, so she couldn't startle the snake.

So she pretended that she really wanted to get married, arranged everything secretly in the days before the wedding, and sneaked out of the palace with her bodyguard Jing'er the night before the wedding and escaped.

He Wenjue had already guessed that they would search in the capital or chase away from Chongguo after knowing that she had escaped from marriage, so when she first left the palace, she aimed at Chongguo's direction and fled.In this way, he fled to the territory of Chongguo, and even pretended to be a refugee and ran all the way to the foot of the emperor and outside the city of Chongjing. He took in some victims who had fled to Chongjing and established a cottage.

"Okay, Jing'er was wrong."

"Call boss."

"Boss."

"Good boy." He Wenjue patted Jing'er's head like a coaxing child: "But there is one thing you said wrong. Although we are bandits, we are good bandits who rob the rich and give to the poor. You said that these two times, if we hadn’t met men in black who wanted to rob grain seeds for no reason, we would have brought them back, and asked you to count the number of nearby villages and farmers!”

"These are the lives of the farmers, we can't do such immoral things."

Jing'er heard this, with a worried face: "Boss, what you said is reasonable, but the population of our cottage has been increasing, and half of the money brought out has been used, but so far we have not succeeded in robbing any 'rich' Every time you say that this is a good person that cannot be robbed, and that who often pays for disaster relief cannot be robbed... If this continues for two years, everyone in the village will not be able to eat enough."

"That's two years away!" He Wenjue didn't think there was any problem: "In the past two years, we will open up a few fields around, we will grow vegetables and food, and occasionally go up the mountain to hunt or something, so we can support ourselves It’s okay to be self-sufficient.”

"But boss..."

"I know, I know, I'm so annoying!" He Wenjue took out a jade pendant that looked valuable from his bosom with some guilt and handed it to Jing'er: "Put this away first, if the village is short of money then , just treat it as a change of money. Is this going to work?"

Jing'er picked up the jade pendant and looked at it. She was a bodyguard of the Shao Kingdom's royal family. She grew up with He Wenjue since she was a child. She has seen many good things, so she can naturally see the value of this jade pendant.It's just that this jade pendant is too unfamiliar to her, she has never seen it before, and this style is not at all like what He Wenjue usually wears, but looks like a male style.

"Boss, isn't this the soybean milk thing?"

He Wenjue nodded, a suspicious blush appeared on his face.

"Didn't you say that you don't steal or rob good people? That soy milk looks like a good person, why did you lead the sheep so smoothly this time?" Speaking of this, Jing'er suddenly thought of something, and suddenly raised her eyebrows : "Boss, that soya-bean milk has a thin skin and tender meat, and he looks good. Have you taken a fancy to him?"

"Look at what to see! Jing'er, you have become more and more mature recently, how did you talk to the princess? What do you mean by falling in love with me? Can't I appreciate it? Besides, that person is probably from the royal family of Chongguo My lord, I just ran away from marriage and sent it to my door, do you think I'm a fool!" He Wenjue rolled his eyes, reached out and snatched the jade pendant from Jing'er's hand, and stuffed it around his waist: "Don't be in vain, don't, I haven't given it yet."

With that said, he left the warehouse.

Looking at her back, Jing'er suddenly felt that He Wenjue was running away, and couldn't help laughing: "Just now I said that I won't be a princess anymore, but now the 'princess' is here..."

……

Shu Yonghe here was sent down the mountain blindfolded in a carriage.

The driver was a person from the cottage, who said that the cottage took in many poor people, like a woman who escaped from domestic violence, or a child who was abducted by human traffickers. They were blindfolded just to avoid revealing the location of the cottage. , to avoid unnecessary trouble.Shu Yonghe expressed his understanding of this, because after he walked out of the hall just now, he also found many girls and children in the village. Although they were dressed plainly, they all had happy smiles on their faces.

I thought it was an aborigine in the cottage, but I didn't expect to be rescued.

After bouncing on the carriage for a long time, after untiing the cloth strips, Shu Yonghe and Lin Song had already arrived at the gate of Chongjing City.
