Xiao Shujun told Qin Kexin the ins and outs of the matter.

"I didn't expect Wei Chiyan's strength to be so strong!" Qin Kexin couldn't help but sigh that Wei Chiyan's people were able to save Xiao Shujun and them from an army of thousands of people.

"Yu Chiyan has developed to this point, and this king didn't expect it."

"Has Your Highness found out who is going to assassinate Your Highness?" This is also what Qin Kexin is most worried about, if he doesn't find out who is behind the scenes, it means that Xiao Shujun may still face a trap like yesterday.

Hearing Qin Kexin's question, Xiao Shujun hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "It may have been done by the emperor and Sun Dongliang." ”

When Xiao Shujun said these two people, Qin Kexin didn't feel any surprise, because Qin Kexin subconsciously thought that these two people did it, firstly, the emperor and Sun Dongliang had a precursor and reason for Xiao Shujun's death, and secondly, they were the only ones who had such strong strength to dispatch thousands of soldiers casually.

So now Qin Kexin's biggest concern is how Xiao Shujun will deal with this matter, the imperial city is afraid that it will not be so easy to go back, even if he goes back, he will only face disasters for them, but Qin Kexin did not ask Xiao Shujun what to do, because she knew that Xiao Shujun was very confused now, but in the end, there would be his decision, Qin Kexin knew that all he had to do was to stay by Xiao Shujun's side, "Your Highness, rest assured, no matter what Your Highness decides, I will stand on His Highness's side." ”

When Xiao Shujun felt vulnerable, after Qin Kexin finished speaking, Xiao Shujun's heart was already like a warm sun.

"Does it still hurt?" Qin Kexin looked at Xiao Shujun's wound that was still slowly oozing blood, the blood stained Xiao Shujun's snow-white clothes red, Qin Kexin only felt that his eyes were stinging.

Xiao Shujun knew that Qin Kexin cared about him, so he stopped Qin Kexin's hand that wanted to attach his wound, held it tightly, and said with a smile, "It doesn't hurt." ”

Xiao Shuwei and Wei Chiyan heard that Qin Kexin had come back safely, so they hurriedly came here to visit.

"It's good that my sister-in-law is okay." Seeing that Qin Kexin was safe and sound, Xiao Shuwei was naturally happy, and Wei Chiyan on the side also showed a relieved smile on his face.

"You're all fine, I'm sure I'll be fine!" Qin Kexin changed to a relaxed and happy tone.

"The princess has returned, what are your highness's plans next?" Wei Chiyan still asked, it was time to face this problem.

After last night, Xiao Shujun had already figured it out, "When the king's injury is better, let's go back to the imperial city first." ”

Everyone thought that Xiao Shujun was still ready to endure it as before, but although Xiao Shuwei and Wei Chiyan were a little disappointed in their hearts, they still expressed their understanding and support for Xiao Shujun's decision on the surface.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Xiao Shujun then said: "This time I went back to the imperial city, this king will act when he sees the opportunity, and he will strike hard when necessary." ”

Xiao Shujun thought about it all night yesterday, even if the emperor wants to kill him, he has to go back to the imperial city and accept all kinds of embarrassments from the emperor, at least let the civil and military officials see how the emperor treats the meritorious officials who have won the battle!

Xiao Shujun's words have been made very clear, he will not tolerate it again and again because the emperor is his brother as before, if the emperor and Sun Dongliang still target themselves as always, then Xiao Shujun will definitely make them regret it......

Xiao Shujun has the strength to deal with all kinds of difficulties of the emperor and Sun Dongliang, the imperial city seems to be dangerous, and Xiao Shujun can also get out of danger, so it is a good choice to go back to the imperial city to regroup first.

"I will fully support Your Highness." Wei Chiyan can be regarded as a win-win relationship with Xiao Shujun, and everyone understands this.

Yu Chiyan and Xiao Shuwei were extremely pleased, thinking that this was His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who was domineering! He wasn't born to be wronged!

Qin Kexin was very relieved to see that Xiao Shujun had made his own decision, and silently swore in his heart that he would be with Xiao Shujun in life and death.

After making such a decision, Xiao Shujun was also much more relaxed.

Suddenly said to Qin Kexin: "Madam, this king is hungry, because he is worried about the safety of his wife, he couldn't eat yesterday!" ”

Husband, madam, Xiao Shuwei and Wei Chiyan are the first time to hear Xiao Shujun call Qin Kexin like this, I don't know what subtle changes have happened between Xiao Shujun and her just after Qin Kexin came back, I just feel numb.

When there were only two people just now, Xiao Shujun called Mrs. Qin Kexin, Qin Kexin was so shy that she was going to die, and now in front of Xiao Shuwei and Wei Chiyan, she called it so, Qin Kexin only felt that Xiao Shujun was deliberate, and she was inevitably more shy, and she just wanted to leave in front of a few people quickly, so she said in a panic; "Your Highness is hungry, then I'll ask the cook of the inn to cook something delicious for Your Highness!"

After saying that, he hurriedly slipped to the door.

Qin Kexin was about to go out, and Xiao Shujun hurriedly added in the back: "This king still wants to eat the glutinous rice cake made by his wife!" ”

Since the last time Xiao Shujun ate the glutinous rice cake that Gu Liang brought to him Qin Ke himself, he still can't forget it.

"Okay, I'll do it for Your Highness." Qin Kexin just wanted to leave quickly, and Xiao Shujun could agree to any conditions.

Xiao Shuwei and Wei Chiyan looked at the funny two and laughed stupidly.

"Ahem, don't you want to stay and eat glutinous rice cakes together?" His Royal Highness the dignified King Qin was all flustered by these two people.

Knowing that Xiao Shujun had given an eviction order, Xiao Shuwei and Wei Chiyan hurriedly left.

After a few more days, Xiao Shujun's injury was almost healed, and he felt that he could leave for the imperial city, so he gathered the other four people together to discuss the route back.

"I have already sent someone to check, it will take about seven days from this time to the imperial city, the emperor and Sun Dongliang know that the people they sent to assassinate the king of Qin were all wiped out, and they will definitely send people to surround and intercept them, in order to hide people's eyes, I found a small way back to the imperial city, passing through many villages and towns, few people know, and the emperor's people are not easy to detect."

Wei Chiyan was very neat, Xiao Shujun was very appreciative, "Then follow the route that Wei Gongzi said." Xiao Shujun decided, he chose to believe in Yu Chiyan unconditionally.

Xiao Shuwei, Qin Kexin and Gu Liang of course listened to Xiao Shujun's decision, and since he had already decided, the two of them had no opinion.

"Don't worry, my people will secretly protect the five of us, even if we encounter any danger, it will be fine." Wei Chiyan is meticulous, of course, he will leave a backhand.

Now everyone was more relieved, and after finalizing it, several people took two carriages on the road.

The path that Wei Chiyan was looking for was not difficult to walk, and he would pass through some lively towns on the way, and whenever he stopped to rest, Xiao Shujun and Qin Kexin would go to the streets together.

But the more they walked in the direction of the imperial city, the more Xiao Shujun and the others felt that something was wrong, many towns along the way were rampant with refugees, looking like a ruin, Xiao Shujun remembered that he had been to these places, at that time it was full of flowers and lively, in stark contrast to the desolate appearance now.

"Why is this the case?" It is actually normal to have refugees, but there are too many refugees to say that it is a little too much, Qin Kexin looked at those who were homeless, and those who had a home to return to but could not eat, and she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"This is near the imperial city, the emperor's support policy should be very good, how can it be like this?" Xiao Shuwei was also very puzzled.

"Did you just know that this is what many people are like?" Wei Chiyan was surprised, he thought that Xiao Shujun and the others had already known the situation of these people, but he didn't expect that they were all kept in the dark.

"The officials of the court mentioned the matter of refugees, and the emperor has already solved it, of course I don't know that this is the case." Xiao Shuwei felt that there must be something wrong with the link.

The most unbearable thing in Xiao Shujun's life is the suffering of the people, so he found a few refugees and asked, "What made you fall here?" ”

When those refugees saw Xiao Shujun and others wearing silk and satin, even if they were a little tired after a long journey, they couldn't hide the nobility on their bodies, and they knew that several people had extraordinary backgrounds.

One of the boys, who had just reached adulthood, said angrily: "It wasn't for you dignitaries who have embezzled all the money that helped us, and we would have fallen to this point." ”

"Little brother, where do you start, we don't know anything." Xiao Shuwei saw that she had been wronged and retorted.

"Xiaocheng, don't be so rude! The little adult is young and ignorant, so please forgive me a few adults. One of the refugees saw that the boy had just spoken out to stop her, and before she could figure it out, the old woman knew that she couldn't think of everyone as a bad person.

The child named Xiaocheng was obedient and shut up, but there was a hint of unconvincing in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter! Childlike words! Xiao Shujun wasn't ready to care, "But old woman, what is the reason why you are here?" Xiao Shujun looked at the old woman's appearance, she must know something, so she hurriedly asked.

The old woman hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and finally told the truth: "Recently, there was a natural disaster, and the harvest was not good, but who would have thought that the local government would still collect more taxes, and those who did not pay taxes had to mortgage the things at home, and slowly the things and money in the family were plundered, but we ordinary people also had to live, and even the money for food was looted by them, and finally became like this." ”

Xiao Shuwei and the others were angry when they heard the old woman's words, thinking that the local government really didn't do anything.

"Then didn't you receive the subsidy directly from the emperor?" Xiao Shujun was very puzzled, obviously the emperor stopped taxing the people after knowing that the people had been suffering from natural disasters in recent years and the harvest was not good, and ordered the minister in charge of this matter to give subsidies to the people, so that the people would not be displaced.

"Subsidies? We've never heard that before. The young man named Xiaocheng said indignantly.

"The subsidy issued by the emperor may have been confiscated by the local government." Xiao Shuwei guessed.
