Chapter 177: Meet Liu Wan'er Again
Only then did Zhou Huan remember that the last time they met, he seemed to be still wearing men's clothes. Today, however, she is a daughter, but she is covered with a veil.
Soon, Liu Wan'er also discovered that something was wrong with Zhou Huan in front of her, "Little guard, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhou Huan smiled awkwardly, and when she was thinking about how to explain, Liu Wan'er set her eyes on Chu Xingchen again. "Chu Xingchen, after many years, do you still remember me?"
Just now, she actually heard everything. Those originally hot feelings suddenly became ashamed to speak, Liu Wan'er thought, maybe she was a joke in front of Chu Xingchen.
Listening to the tone of his voice just now, he really doesn't like himself, and he thinks of himself as a burden.
Chu Xingchen sneered, "You heard it all just now?" ”
"Well, I heard it." Liu Wan'er grinned, and then looked at the panic in front of her, Chu Xingchen patted him on the shoulder again and spoke. "Don't worry, I like you, it's my business, it won't affect you, and it won't affect you to like others."
"Wan'er, I'm ......"
In fact, after knowing each other for so many years, Chu Xingchen has long regarded Liu Wan'er as his friend. Just asked Zhou Huan to help in order not to make Liu Wan'er sad, but who knew that he was self-defeating.
"Stop, I don't need anyone's pity." Liu Wan'er interrupted Chu Xingchen and didn't give him a chance to speak.
She has liked Chu Xingchen for so many years, so she knows very well that Chu Xingchen must be embarrassed at this moment, and she wants to resolve the embarrassment very much. Moreover. Perhaps, Chu Xingchen is really unwilling to hurt himself.
The ambiguous air circulated between the four people, and no one knew what to say to resolve the embarrassment.
……
"Little guard, why don't you want to recognize me after changing your daughter's body."
In the end, it was Liu Wan'er who took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment. Seeing that Zhou Huan was a daughter, she took the initiative to sit next to Zhou Huan.
Zhou Huan was very close to Liu Wan'er, so she could see the tears in Liu Wan'er's eyes, and she could also see her strength.
"Senior brother, you should leave first." Zhou Huan looked up at Meng Qi and Chu Xingchen, "I'll talk to Miss Liu." ”
Chu Xingchen wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and in the end, Meng Qi pulled Chu Xingchen away.
"I'm sorry I deceived you last time, I'm not a little guard." Seeing that there were no people beside him, Zhou Huan sighed and said to Liu Wan'er beside him: "I am Zhou Huan, the princess of His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ”
Regarding the state of Liu Wan'er in front of him, Zhou Huan didn't feel that he could lie to Liu Wan'er anymore.
Hearing this, Liu Wan'er's original indifferent look disappeared all of a sudden, and she suddenly got up and knelt on the ground to face Zhou Huan.
"Courtiers, see the princess."
Zhou Huan raised his eyes and glanced around, fortunately, Chu Xingchen and Meng Qi, who had just left, had already solved all the people in the store.
"Hurry up." Zhou Huan hurriedly helped Liu Wan'er up, "I can't hide it, I am also busy with everyone in the capital when I come out this time, so I also ask Miss Liu to be considerate." ”
Her implication was that she hoped that Liu Wan'er could help her hide her true identity, and Liu Wan'er was also a sensible person, so she immediately stood up from the ground.
"Princess, please save my father."
But even when she stood up, Liu Wan'er's eyes were still urgent, and her voice was very sad and said to Zhou Huan
Zhou Huan looked at Liu Wan'er suspiciously, "What happened to the garrison?" ”
The last time they left from Junshan Pass, wasn't everything okay? It doesn't seem to be a very long time either, plus what's going on outside.
She suddenly thought that she could see Liu Wan'er in this Jiangnan area, isn't it enough to show that something really happened to this Jun Shankou? Moreover, no matter how big or small this matter is, it has not reached the ears of the emperor, and even the capital has not heard the slightest rumor.
It is enough to see that these people block the news, maybe it is not a simple matter!
"But the problem of trade with the South?"
Soon, Zhou Huan finalized the answer in his heart.
Hearing Zhou Huan say this, Liu Wan'er's eyes were a little surprised. She looked up at Zhou Huan and said, "Princess Niangniang, they framed my father for enriching a batch of goods, but I swear that my father will never do this." ”
"And where have you been, Princess, you must know that we would never do that."
Liu Wan'er said, the tears in her eyes finally fell aggrievedly. She originally wanted to go to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but her father must not allow it.
"Father said that we should not cause any more trouble to His Highness." Liu Wan'er said cautiously, "But the princess, the courtiers really have no choice." ”
It turned out that after the Mobei incident was resolved, the emperor decided to conduct long-term friendly mutual trade with Mobei for the perennial stability of Mobei and the Central Plains.
Originally, this was supposed to be a celebration for the whole world, but there were many people in Junshankou, and there was no stable and strong order, so there were many things at one time.
Then, in order to suppress the successive chaos in Junshankou, the imperial court sent Xiao Jun to solve it.
This Xiao Jun is a soldier, and his means are naturally vigorous and resolute, although he suppressed it, but at the same time, the problem of trade was also put into cold storage again. Good Mood Literature Network
Liu Wan'er's father cared about the people, and naturally did not allow trade to be suppressed, so there was a lot of estrangement with Xiao Jun for a while, and the biggest trouble was the current predicament encountered by Liu Wan'er.
Han Zhaoguo and Mobei were also carrying out strong trade exports in the name of the country, but this time, a large batch of silk sent from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau suddenly disappeared on the way to Junshankou.
Xiao Jun insisted that this matter had nothing to do with Fang Zhushou, but Liu Wan'er's father couldn't come up with evidence to prove his innocence.
When Liu Wan'er knelt on the ground again and said everything to Zhou Huan, she looked up at Zhou Huan in front of her expectantly, which was almost her only expectation.
"I see, I'll take care of this for you." Zhou Huan finally nodded, and made a decision in his heart.
Liu Zhushou is Qi Yu's benefactor, so she definitely can't sit idly by.
Zhou Huan personally helped Liu Wan'er up, "In this case, let's go to Jiangnan." ”
"Thank you, Princess." Liu Wan'er was about to get up again to salute Zhou Huan, but was stopped by Zhou Huan.
Zhou Huan shook his head helplessly, "Wasn't it good for you to be a little guard before, if you want, call me Ah Huan in the future." ”
Liu Wan'er nodded, although she was a little wary in her heart, she still responded.
"Ah Huan?"
"Hmm." Zhou Huan smiled, "Drink some hot tea, you go up and have a good rest first." ”
Liu Wan'er had a long journey, and the only rest was just in this shop, but she never thought that she would meet them as soon as she got off the horse.
In the empty place on the first floor, Zhou Huan saw Meng Qi at the door. "What about Chu Xingchen?"
Meng Qi waved his hand, "No? ”
Not far away, Chu Xingchen was chatting happily with a woman on the street. Zhou Huan shook his head and sighed, "He's just running away from the problem." ”
"Miss Liu, what's wrong?" Meng Qi spoke.
The last time I met Liu Wan'er, she was still the arrogant official lady, and now that we meet again, Meng Qi really saw a little strength and maturity in her eyes.
"Something happened to Junshankou."
……
"You're in charge of this?" Meng Qi frowned and looked at Zhou Huan, to be honest, if Zhou Huan's safety was considered, Meng Qi would refuse in his heart.
He didn't carry some of his unavoidable kindness like Qi Yu. However, it is precisely because of these kindnesses that Meng Qi knows that Zhou Huan must be managed.
Zhou Huan nodded and looked at Chu Xingchen, "What do you say, Chu Xingchen?" ”
Both people's eyes fell on Chu Xingchen's body, Chu Xingchen hesitated, and finally nodded and said to the two: "Regardless of the individual, this matter has to be managed." ”
Seeing that the two people in front of him looked at him with strange expressions, Chu Xingchen hurriedly explained.
"Most of the generals of Junshankou are His Royal Highness's henchmen, and now they are all under Xiao Jun, the last time Concubine Wen did not affect Xiao Jun, he can be said to be smooth sailing now, but have you all forgotten that Xiao Jun's wife is a member of the Shen family."
The Shen family?
The eldest daughter of the Shen family is the princess of the eldest prince Qi Heng, so if you insist on linking them together, it is okay.
"There is a more important reason, I just got the news that something happened to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau."
Meng Qi was surprised: "This place is the most important, what will happen?" ”
"Theft and fire, half of the silk paid for the tribute disappeared into the fire." Chu Xingchen's face took on a little seriousness, "Just two days ago. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Huan's eyes instantly turned cold.
"In this way, all these things are connected, and I am afraid that I have to say the reason again."
Because of the doubts and the urgency of the situation, Zhou Huan and his party did not have time to delay any longer, and immediately rushed to the land south of the Yangtze River.
Who knows, after this road passed, Zhou Huan saw for the first time what it means to be hungry on the road, and those homeless people who were so hungry that they almost gnawed and ate tree bark were on the way to the south of the Yangtze River.
And the look on Zhou Huan's face became more and more heavy, and when she was almost overwhelmed, Liu Wan'er on the side spoke.
"When there is a war on the frontier, it is like this for those who have lost their homes because of the war."
Zhou Huan's eyes were a little moved, "Follow the route." Didn't the eldest prince go to Jiangnan a long time ago? ”
Meng Qi shook his head, "The carriage of the eldest prince took the official road, spared a long way, and was blocked by the river in Huaibei. ”
"Let's go over and see." Without hesitation, Zhou Huan turned around and walked towards a bunch of refugees not far away.
