The guards had already led the two of them to climb the mountain, and there were stones everywhere, and Lu Xiaoyao and He Qingxue could only follow him with difficulty.

"Mrs. Zhao, we ......"

He Qingxue was closer to Lu Xiaoyao, and asked with a crying voice, but as soon as she said the wrong thing, the guard in front turned her head and looked at the two of them expressionlessly.

Lu Xiaoyao gave He Qingxue a reassuring look, and then met the gaze of the guards in front of her and asked, "Where are you taking us?" There is not even a road in this barren mountain and wilderness, we are a woman, how do you let us go? ”

At the same time as he spoke, Lu Xiaoyao stopped walking, looked at the guards with black faces, Lu Xiaoyao sat down directly, and simply sat on the stone on the side, looking like he was not leaving.

He Qingxue looked at Lu Xiaoyao's movements, then at the taciturn guard, and finally gritted her teeth and sat down next to Lu Xiaoyao, "My feet hurt so much, I have been working for most of the day, and I have climbed such a long way, I can't walk." ”

Lu Xiaoyao also shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't walk in these mountains where there is no road......

Before Lu Xiaoyao's words were finished, the sword that glowed with cold light from before was on her neck again.

Lu Xiaoyao was so frightened that he didn't say anything later, his face was ugly, he had a great sword! At every turn, she will put a sword on someone's neck, and when she escapes, she will definitely put the sword on his neck to take revenge.

"Over this mountain, you'll know where you're going." The man's deep voice sounded, and Lu Xiaoyao and He Qingxue raised their heads at the same time, looking at the mountain in front of them.

Oh, my God!

The hearts of the two of them suddenly screamed, climbing this mountain would kill them.

"Big brother, tell me, are you seeking money or what do you want to do? If you ask for money, I can give you money, and if you want to do anything else, then what will you tell me? I'll do it for you, but please don't let us climb the mountain, okay? ”

Lu Xiaoyao opened her mouth with a flattering face, and her bright eyes revealed a gleam, but as soon as her words fell, she felt that the sword on her neck was tighter, and it seemed that if she said one more word, her head would be separated from her neck.

Lu Xiaoyao was suddenly silenced, and his face turned white.

"Don't try to trick me, my mission is just to bring you back, if you dare to resist or do something, I don't mind taking you directly to the head."

Lu Xiaoyao: "........."

He Qingxue: "........."

In the face of the guard's cold and ruthless words, the two didn't dare to say anything more for an instant, and stayed where they were.

"Get up and go." The guard didn't allow the two of them to breathe a sigh of relief, so he spoke again.

Lu Xiaoyao wanted to pry his family's ancestral grave, but at this time, he was under the eaves, so he had to bow his head, and after exchanging glances with He Qingxue, he got up and followed behind the guard.

Yucheng

Si Meng had already returned from the capital and brought back the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, asking Zhao Guanlan to start building the water conservancy project, and asking Jincheng to assist.

Regarding the matter of Yucheng Taishou's embezzlement of silver, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also had eyebrows, and sent Xu Fang to inquire about the whereabouts of Yucheng Taishou, and also investigated He Bing's affairs.

He Bing was indeed wronged, and he was dragged out by Yucheng Taishou to take the blame, not only that, but Yucheng Taishou also hid He Bing's whereabouts, in order to let He Bing keep giving him the guilt, and also so that the court could not find out the whereabouts of the disaster relief silver.

After Jin Cheng learned of these things, he immediately asked Si Meng to go to the suburbs to bring the news and tell He Qingxue the good news, as long as He Bing is found, he can be acquitted.

Si Meng knew Jin Cheng's thoughts about He Qingxue, and he didn't delay, and hurriedly asked someone to take him to the suburbs.

Jin Cheng couldn't leave because of other things, and after Si Meng went to find He Qingxue, Jin Cheng simply asked people to send him to find Zhao Guanlan and told Zhao Guanlan that he was going to start building a water conservancy project.

Zhao Guanlan is the busiest person these days, and he travels around the villages of Yucheng almost every day, calling everyone to plant sweet potatoes in the wasteland.

There is a subsidy of two taels of silver from the imperial court, and there is also Zhao Guanlan's promise of a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, and the people of Yucheng are enthusiastic.

It was already afternoon for Jin Cheng to find Zhao Guanlan in the village, he was still working with the villagers to open up the wasteland, and the imperial court sent countless disaster relief officials down, and Zhao Guanlan was the only one who did the construction for the people of Yucheng, and he was really an official who did things for the people, so Zhao Guanlan was very respected by the people here.

When he left the village, there were still people to send each other, Jin Cheng smiled, and said teasingly, "You can now be regarded as the parent official of the people of Yucheng." ”

After a busy day, Zhao Guanlan's body was covered with some mud, and when he went out in the morning, Lu Xiaoyao had prepared a change of clothes for him, and Zhao Guanlan took it out of his baggage while smiling back to Jincheng's words.

"The prince laughed, if you want to say that my parents are not qualified now."

Jin Cheng also smiled when he heard Zhao Guanlan's words, maybe it is not enough to be qualified now, but as long as the water conservancy project is built, Zhao Guanlan will definitely become the most respected person among the people of Yucheng, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his parents are officials.

"Simon is back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued an order for you to start building the water conservancy project immediately, just tell me if you need anything."

As soon as Zhao Guanlan got dressed, Jin Cheng said to him, and after the words fell, Zhao Guanlan raised his head and looked over.

"That batch of silver was found, was Lord He wronged?"

With the silver, the water conservancy project can be built, and this matter is naturally Zhao Guanlan curious, so he asked directly.

Asked Lord He, Jin Cheng showed a smile on his face, "The whereabouts of the silver Xu Bian has already gone to investigate, he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's most powerful assistant, I believe that there will be a whereabouts soon, as for Lord He, he is being held in a secret place, and I have already sent someone to pick him up." ”

The place where He Bing was held was a stronghold of Yucheng Taishou, and it took a long time to find this place, and Jin Cheng had already sent someone to pick it up, and it was estimated that he would be able to come back before dark.

After that, Zhao Guanlan didn't speak anymore, thinking intently about how to start building the water conservancy project, and after going back for a while, he had to discuss it with his daughter-in-law again.

Everyone is busy these days, and it has been two days since I have spoken to my daughter-in-law, thinking of this, Zhao Guanlan pursed his lips, hoping that the matter here can be completed as soon as possible, so that he and his daughter-in-law can live a stable period of time.

I miss home, I miss my second aunt and Xiaohu Lanlan.

"Master, master, it's not good."

Just as Zhao Guanlan was thinking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and a panicked voice came from outside.
