Chapter 297: Arrival in the Northland

Lin Yingxue took Murong Jun in the secret room, and she didn't know anything about the situation outside.

I don't know how long it has been, the door of the secret room was opened from the outside, Lin Yingxue looked up and saw Li Qin's kind smiling face, and her hanging heart fell.

"It's been a long time, it took some time to send the officers and soldiers." The Li family stepped forward together to help Murong Jun out.

Lin Yingxue finally had a rare good night's sleep.

This stay is three days. After three days of cultivation, Murong Jun's body finally improved slightly.

"The imperial court thinks that someone will soon be sent to the north to deliver the message, what should we do next?" Lin Yingxue took the decoction and sent it to Murong Jun's mouth.

Murong Jun took a sip before he said, "I thought that I would first subdue the forces of the Northern Land and then clean up Meng Yi, but now we can't choose...... Let's catch up with Shang Xiang and the others first. ”

Murong Jun stared at the void, his eyes a little dark.

"Hmm." Lin Yingxue responded, thought about it and said, "Now that your body has improved, let's go on the road earlier." Although the Li family and his wife are reliable, they are many people after all. ”

Notices of bounties were posted everywhere, and if anyone tried to reveal their whereabouts, they would be in danger.

"Hmm." Murong Jun nodded, and both of them looked thoughtful.

After discussion, Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun left the Li family in the afternoon, and Murong Jun had traveled abroad for many years and accumulated a lot of contacts.

"Yingxue and I will go to the Northland to investigate the situation first, and then the others will go over after it stabilizes." Murong Jun watched as the paper in front of him burned to ashes.

- The court sent a messenger to the north to report the situation, and it was a letter intercepted by the people below halfway.

The messenger was killed, and the imperial court was afraid that it would take a while for the imperial court to know about it, and Murong Jun and Lin Yingxue's plan was to take advantage of the fact that the northern side had not yet received the news, so they rushed over first to see if they could subdue the forces in the northern land, and once they were subdued, they would immediately start to counterattack.

"Your Highness, don't worry, these people Zhao will definitely take care of it." It was a middle-aged man who answered.

This is the leader of a gang in the martial arts, and Lin Yingxue and the others are now in this person's private villa. Let's not say that the people of the court don't know where they are hiding now, even if they do, I'm afraid that the people of the court will have to weigh and weigh before they start, so the people of King Qi's mansion are here, and Murong Jun is relieved.

"Okay, then there will be a Lao Zhang helper." Murong Jun arched his hand, paused and then said, "If I officially start a war with the imperial court in the future, I'm afraid I will need Gang Master Zhang to help me." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as Your Highness says a word, it is incumbent upon me to help the whole gang!" Zhang Yi patted his chest and said extremely heroically.

When Murong Jun heard this, a slight smile finally appeared on his face, which had been a little gloomy for days.

The place where Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun are now is not too far from the fiefdom, and it will only take three days to arrive quickly, and the two of them will set off soon after they have a plan.

The road never stopped, and three days later, in the evening, Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun successfully arrived at the fiefdom.

'Papa' Lin Yingxue rolled over from the horse, and reached out to pat her dry and stiff face - the closer to the Northland, the colder the weather and the drier the climate.

Lin Yingxue's skin is notoriously supple, but after arriving in this northern land, she is a little uncomfortable, and this is only a small problem - the northern land is notoriously harsh, and I don't know how many difficulties are waiting for them in the future.

Lin Yingxue sighed slightly, and quickly followed Murong Jun in front.

The two had already entered the city. Before coming, Lin Yingxue had imagined the environment of the Northland, but at this time, when she looked around, this place, known as the largest market in the Northland, was not as good as a small local county seat-

There were quite a few people walking around the streets, all dressed in thick cotton clothes and headscarves wrapped around their heads, covering their faces tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes to see.

There aren't many shops around, but at a glance, there are inns and pharmacies, but the shops look small and shabby.

Xu is Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun looked like people who had just come from other places, and the two of them attracted a lot of attention when they walked on the street. Lin Yingxue was a little unaccustomed to being watched by these people, and she leaned closer to Murong Jun's side.

Murong Jun felt Lin Yingxue's discomfort, and firmly grasped Lin Yingxue's hand in the palm of his hand, and just as the two of them were about to visit the whole market, a middle-aged man in official uniform suddenly appeared, and hurriedly walked towards Lin Yingxue and the two with several officers and soldiers.

"Dare to ask if this is His Royal Highness King Qi?" It was the middle-aged man in official uniform who spoke, and I saw that the man had thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and he still had two mustaches on the side of his mouth...... It looks very unpleasant.

Murong Jun glanced at the middle-aged man up and down, and after confirming that the middle-aged man should not know what was happening in the imperial city, he replied lightly: "Yes, this is Lord Zhao, right?" ”

Murong Jun had already learned about the situation in the north before he came - the magistrate of the north was named Zhao Youcai, forty years old, shrewd, greedy and cheap, and had little practical ability.

It's a complete straw bale.

"Yes, yes, it's Xiaguan!" Zhao Youcai smiled so much that his face was wrinkled, "I have long heard that His Highness is going to come over to take over the Northland in the past two days, but I don't know the specific time, so I came late, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter." Murong Jun's attitude was indifferent, "I don't know where this king's mansion is?" Please also ask Lord Zhao to lead the way. ”

"Oh, His Royal Highness King Qi's mansion is nearby, but Xiaguan has already instructed His Royal Highness to prepare a banquet at home for His Royal Highness King Qi to pick up the wind and wash the dust, so I hope His Royal Highness will appreciate his face, and after going to Xiaguan's house for dinner, Xiaguan will take His Royal Highness King Qi back to the house to rest, I don't know what His Highness thinks?" Zhao Youcai arched his hand, and his attitude was extremely flattering.

Murong Jun frowned and glanced at Zhao Youcai, originally he didn't want to go, but they didn't have much time, they wanted to find out the situation in the north in the shortest possible time, and take the north into their pockets, so they couldn't delay for a moment.

Thinking about it, Murong Jun couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Lin Yingxue, and asked Lin Yingxue's opinion with his eyes.

Before Lin Yingxue could speak, Zhao Youcai on the side rolled his eyes and asked, "I don't know who this girl is?" ”

"This is the county lord of Yuhui who was personally crowned by the first emperor, and the fiancΓ©e of this king." Murong Jun did not shy away from revealing Lin Yingxue's identity to everyone.

When Zhao Youcai saw Murong Jun's attitude, he suddenly had a clue in his heart, and hurriedly smiled at Lin Yingxue as if flattering: "It turned out to be the quasi-princess, and the officials were disrespectful, please ask His Royal Highness King Qi and the quasi-princess to move to the cold house together." ”

As the so-called stretching out her hand and not hitting the smiling person, although Lin Yingxue did not have a very good impression of Zhao Youcai, but at this time, seeing Zhao Youcai's flattering appearance, it was not easy to refute Zhao Youcai's face, so she bowed her head slightly to Murong Jun.

Murong Jun understood, took Lin Yingxue's hand, and the two followed Zhao Youcai towards Zhao's mansion together.

After arriving at Zhao's mansion, as Zhao Youcai said, the banquet had been prepared.

Mrs. Zhao is a middle-aged woman with a somewhat plump physique, and when she saw Murong Jun and Lin Yingxue coming, she suddenly smiled so much that the flesh on her face was squeezed into a ball, "This is His Royal Highness King Qi, the concubine has seen His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

Mrs. Zhao blessed her body, and then looked behind Murong Jun, and asked suspiciously: "Why don't you see the family members accompanying His Royal Highness King Qi?" The concubine also prepared a table in the side hall, which was specially used to receive His Royal Highness's family. ”

As soon as Mrs. Zhao said this, Zhao Youcai was also a little puzzled, "Yes, why don't you see the team accompanying His Royal Highness King Qi?" ”

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the Zhao couple, Lin Yingxue's heart sank slightly, but Murong Jun was still light.

"The accompanying team is walking too slowly, and this king wants to come over early to see the situation." As Murong Jun spoke, he casually took off the waist card on his waist and began to play.

The Zhao couple were originally a little suspicious of Murong Jun's identity, but after seeing this waist card at this time, the doubts on their faces disappeared.

"I see." In the blink of an eye, the husband and wife had the same flattering smile on their faces again.

"His Royal Highness King Qi and the county lord have worked hard all the way, please sit down quickly......" As soon as Mrs. Zhao's words were finished, Zhao Youcai pinched a ball of fat on Mrs. Zhao's waist and pinched it heavily.

Mrs. Zhao was in pain, and hurriedly turned around and glared at Zhao Youcai fiercely, but Zhao Youcai made a look and motioned for Mrs. Zhao to greet Lin Yingxue.

In the end, it has been a husband and wife for many years, Zhao Youcai's eyes flew over, and Mrs. Zhao immediately understood what her husband meant.

"County Lord!" Mrs. Zhao suddenly rushed towards Lin Yingxue with great enthusiasm, and affectionately grabbed Lin Yingxue's arm and said, "This man's family is so boring to drink and eat, why don't you eat with the county lord, let's also talk about ourselves." ”

Mrs. Zhao's fat and sticky body was like a mass of fat moving towards Lin Yingxue, Lin Yingxue twitched her arm with great effort, but when she saw that she couldn't move, she had to resign herself to her fate: "Okay, then bother Mrs. Zhao." ”

"If you don't bother or not, in the future, the county lord will live in the north with the prince for a long time, then everyone will be a family......" Mrs. Zhao's voice gradually faded away.

Murong Jun glanced at Zhao Youcai, who seemed to have other plans, and there was no emotion on his face.

The meal was eaten for nearly an hour under Mrs. Zhao's chatter, and Lin Yingxue felt that her ears had become calloused.

Looking at Mrs. Zhao, whose lips were still closed, Lin Yingxue hurriedly said: "It's not too early, presumably it's time for the prince to finish his meal, I should go to the prince." ”

Lin Yingxue was about to get up as she spoke, but before she could take two steps, she was pulled down by Zhao again.

"Oh, how can their men's drinking end so quickly. If the county is mainly tired, I will ask someone to collect the partial house for the county lord to rest. As she spoke, Mrs. Zhao beckoned to her subordinates.

"No need, I ......"

"What you want, it's all your own family, and the county lord and I don't have to be polite!"

Lin Yingxue originally thought that Mrs. Zhao was just too enthusiastic, but seeing that the Zhao family was so obstructive of her going to Murong Jun, she couldn't help but have a little bad premonition in her heart.
