In the afternoon, after a short rest, Sihan sent Jingwei outside the tent to lead her to the place where the victims built houses to have a look.

Sure enough, as the governor said, the houses were built very quickly, one of the reasons was that the necessary materials were sufficient, the manpower was sufficient, and the people were very determined to rebuild after the disaster.

After a brief inspection, Sihan and Chu Yu chatted casually, and then stayed no longer and returned to the bottom of Nanshan.

On this day, the wind and waves are calm, and in the silence, it will all pass.

Compared with the shock of her visit for the first time, this time, the victims were not too shocked by her, but most of them laughed and greeted her with great enthusiasm and respect.

The house at home is about to be completed, and the flood has receded severely, so these women and children who stayed on Nanshan are finally relieved and smile.

Sihan stood quietly aside, watching the servants give porridge, and only after the disaster victims' meals were finished did she slowly set off down the mountain.

Just came to the foot of the mountain, outside the dark blue tent, Shan Zhongze was standing resolutely.

Seeing Sihan's return, he hurriedly bent over and bowed, "Eldest princess." Compensation"

"Come in and talk." Sihan raised his eyes and glanced at him, then his eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice.

As soon as these words fell, without waiting for Shan Zhongze to react, she had already taken the lead in lifting the curtain and entering the tent.

A moment later, as soon as she sat down on the chair, Shan Zhongze followed in and stood respectfully in front of her.

Sihan looked at him with a dull face, and his gaze fluctuated slightly, "Phoenix Mountain, but there's news?" ”

Shan Zhongze nodded, and said with a serious and heavy face: "Yesterday, three thousand troops were transferred from the surrounding county government according to the order of the eldest princess. At this time, all the troops are entrenched here at a distance of one mile. In addition, last night, his subordinates personally led 500 troops to visit Phoenix Mountain overnight, and saw that on Phoenix Mountain, there were many victims and materials that had just entered, and his subordinates simply hijacked a cart of materials that were about to be sent up the mountain, and saw that the carriage was full of swords and weapons, and those people who escorted the car, although they had never been dressed in black robes and were dressed ordinarily, but when their subordinates took the live mouth, they were about to ask questions, but unexpectedly, those days were like yesterday's men in black, who committed suicide by biting poison. ”

Is it?

Sihan's face changed suddenly, and his gaze became more and more cold.

A small mountain bandit dared to send people to transport weapons to the mountains, and even the live mouth caught by Shan Zhongze killed himself by biting the poison like yesterday's live mouth.

In this way, the mountain bandits on the top of Phoenix Mountain are undoubtedly the group of people who attacked yesterday?

Thoughts are churning and complicated.

The little mountain bandit actually wants to confront the imperial court, what is the purpose!

I have to say that ordinary mountain bandits care about gold and silver, although they hate the imperial court, but they will not incite the victims to rebel.

The more I thought about it, the more cold and bottomless I felt.

After being silent for a long time, Sihan came back to his senses and said gloomily: "How many people are entrenched on Phoenix Mountain?" ”

Shan Zhongze said respectfully: "My subordinates went up in the dark last night, but because the road was difficult and dangerous, the line of sight was unclear, so I didn't know how many people there were on the mountain, but later I deliberately tried it with stones, and it only provoked more than a dozen mountain bandits to come over with torches.

Sihan's pupils shrank, "Did you scare the snake last night?" Those bandits, did you notice that we were targeting them? ”

Shan Zhongze continued: "It shouldn't be. ”

"Hmm." Sihan's voice was slightly deep, and he answered, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "Let those elite soldiers who have been mobilized be well prepared." When it was dusk, the palace would personally lead them up the mountain to suppress the bandits. ”

Shan Zhongze's face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Eldest princess, this matter is not appropriate. The matter of suppressing bandits is left to her subordinates to send people to the past, and the eldest princess only needs to rest here, and she cannot be in danger. ”

Sihan's eyes were long and cold, and he didn't listen to Shan Zhongze's words too much, but said: "The state official also said that the mountain bandits on Phoenix Mountain are very easy to use the terrain to block the imperial court troops, so if ordinary troops go up, they will suffer heavy casualties. And the meaning of this palace is that the vanguard team, you and this palace will take the lead in breaking the formation, and the rest of the army will follow. In this way, too many casualties can be avoided, and it is easy to break through Phoenix Mountain. After all, the skills of you and this palace are stronger than them after all, and it is easy to hide if you hide, if you can jump up and capture the thief and capture the king first, you can also avoid a bloody storm. ”

Shan Zhongze's face became more and more complicated, his brows were furrowed, and the fortitude and hesitation in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

After a while, he finally forcibly pressed his heart, and said in a low voice: "Although the eldest princess's words are reasonable, my subordinates think that this move is really dangerous. The eldest princess thought twice, and let Shan Zhongze lead the troops to suppress the bandits alone, and the eldest princess only needed to wait for news from her subordinates. ”

Sihan's pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "This palace, if you are not a weak person, the king doesn't have to worry. ”

Shan Zhongze's brows furrowed more and more, "Eldest princess......"

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and before he could speak, she interrupted, "The palace has made up its mind, and the king doesn't need to say much." You have not had a good rest for these two days, but now you can go down and rest well. ”

Shan Zhongze's face was complicated, and the worry and helplessness in his pupils could not be concealed.

Seeing Sihan's firm attitude, his eyes tightened towards Sihan for a long time, and finally gave in, said goodbye, and then turned around and walked out of the tent.

The sky outside the tent was getting better and better.

Inside the tent, it gradually began to stuffy.

After a long time, Sihan slowly got up and stepped out of the tent, and then ignored the state officials and Jingwei who had been waiting outside the tent, and just walked forward slowly, standing under a lush tree at the foot of the mountain.

The governor stiffened his steps and followed Sihan, but he didn't dare to follow very closely, but stopped when he was five meters away from Sihan, so restrained and timid that he didn't dare to move forward.

Sihan was silent for a moment, and his eyes fell towards the state official, "Can there be a low table and a chessboard?" ”

The state official was stunned and stunned.

When he came back to his senses, he came to his senses, and nodded to Sihan who was very nervous: "Yes, yes, the eldest princess waits." ”

As soon as these words fell, he immediately turned around and ran away.

Sihan turned his eyes and swept his back, thinking that this state official really had a low table and a chessboard, but after a long time, the state official was sweating profusely and led a servant carrying a low table to run towards Sihan.

"Eldest princess, the lower official has brought you a chessboard and a low table." The state official was out of breath, but he was still enthusiastic and nervous and laughing at Chao Sihan.

Sihan turned his eyes to look at him, and saw that he was holding the chessboard and chess box in his arms, staggering, and full of embarrassment, but it was really difficult for him.

When the governor and the official put the low table and chessboard box away, Sihan was about to speak, but the two of them were very conscious of saying goodbye and retreating, and then they both stood at a distance of five meters from Sihan, looking up at the sky, but they didn't dare to look at Sihan.

The corners of Sihan's eyes twitched after all, she really didn't expect that the governor of this land south of the Yangtze River would be afraid of her so much.

Come to think of it, since she entered this land south of the Yangtze River, she is just smiling, but she is not as cold as a demon, which makes these state officials so frightened and afraid.

His thoughts flipped and his brows furrowed slightly.

After being silent for a long time, Sihan calmed his mind for a while, and just said indifferently: "If the county official has something to do, he will be busy with you." ”

The state official immediately stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said nervously and enthusiastically towards Sihan: "The lower official has nothing to do here, just wait here." If the eldest princess has other orders, she will directly order the lower officials. ”

Sihan raised the corner of his eye, swept his eyes, and then didn't say anything more, just stretched out his hand and moved the low table slightly towards the stone not far away, and then sat on the stone without saying a word and began to play alone.

All around, the light wind floated, and the sunlight in the air fell down through the cracks in the trees overhead, slightly imprinting a few round spots of light on the ground.

All around, there was no wave, and the state officials and officials not far away still looked away, and never glanced at Sihan, they were really ready to be a wooden pestle there.

Sihan raised his eyes and glanced at them, then lowered his eyes, picked up the chess pieces in the chess box with his slender fingertips, and started to play alone.

Maybe the surroundings are too silent, or the bottom of the heart is also extremely silent, yes, this game, the mind is clear, the mind is also very clear.

In the whole afternoon, only three games were played, and even if a chess piece was lost, it was extremely deliberate and considered, but in the end, every game of chess was played by her into a dead game.

It was dark, almost dusk.

Sihan finally lifted his gaze from the chessboard.

Not far away, the official stood extremely straight, but the governor had already begun to stagger, either rubbing his shoulders slightly, or shaking his legs and feet slightly.

There is no need to guess, the state official just left the official by his side, firstly, he was afraid that he would relieve his boredom, secondly, he was afraid that he would avoid embarrassment, and thirdly, he should be bold in front of her.

It's just that this state official didn't expect that she, Yan Sihan, would be able to play alone in the next afternoon, and this state official stood here for a while.

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and his heart was clear.

After a few moments, she slowly got up and walked forward.

Xu is aware of her footsteps, the governor suddenly stopped the shaking of his legs and feet, and immediately turned his eyes to look, his pupils were also a little nervous, and then he began to nod his head and bow, "Eldest princess." ”

Sihan glanced at him, put the tension in his eyes, and then said in a low voice: "Call Shan Zhongze into the tent." ”

As soon as these words fell, without waiting for the state official to react, Sihan had already passed by him in steps, and then continued to move forward without stopping.

Soon after returning to the tent and sitting down, an elite soldier brought dinner.

Sihan still hadn't eaten too much, and after a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and meditated quietly.

Soon, the nervous and flattering voice of the state official suddenly came from outside the tent, "Eldest princess, the king is here, and he is waiting outside the tent at this time." ”

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Let him in." ”

As soon as these words fell, the curtain not far away was lifted slightly, and immediately, Shan Zhongze, who was full of fortitude and strength, stepped in steadily.

"Eldest Princess." Standing still in front of Sihan, Shan Zhongze called respectfully.

Sihan raised his eyes to look at him, his expression was slightly dark, and he said in a low voice: "Those troops who have been dispatched can be used for dinner?" ”

Shan Zhongze nodded respectfully, "I've already eaten it." ”

Sihan nodded and said lightly: "At dusk, I am going to set off to raid the mountain bandits on Phoenix Mountain, but those troops who have been dispatched are ready?" ”

Shan Zhongze still replied respectfully, probably after resting for a long time, his voice was not as hoarse and tired as at the beginning, but it was a little strong that could not be concealed.

Sihan nodded with a little satisfaction, and said in a low voice: "That's it, it's good." Pick-up"

As he spoke, he slowly got up, "Are the horses and swords in the palace ready?" ”

As soon as these words fell, Shan Zhongze frowned and did not make a sound.

Sihan turned his eyes indifferently and looked at him, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, "What, unprepared?" ”
