Chapter 103: Help
The most important thing is that they are already hungry with their chests and backs, but Cheng Ge still refuses to let them leave. They now have only one thought in their minds: to eat. But when they first said yes, no one would speak first. Cheng Ge and Qin Changqi took turns to change their clothes, and every time the two of them came back, there was a trace of oil stains on the corners of their mouths, could they still not understand what was going on? But what can they say?
"If anyone has figured it out, they can tell me directly, the one who donated the most, this concubine will apply to the emperor to give you a plaque." Cheng Ge said after eating and drinking, looking at the rich merchants below who were already hungry like wilted grass, thinking that the time had come.
"I'm willing to do my part." The salt merchant usually eats and drinks spicy food, but now he has been hungry for so long that he feels like his stomach is going to cramp, and when he heard Cheng Ge speak, he said busily.
Hearing the salt merchant speak, the others began to echo him, they were really hungry and couldn't stand it.
Cheng Ge waved his hand and asked people to take a pen and paper, record the amount of money to be donated by each family, and let them sign and draw a pledge. Seeing that they had all signed their names, Cheng Ge nodded with satisfaction, and then sent people to collect the money from each household. Seeing that the people above were already hungry, their chests were pressed against their backs, and they clapped their hands and asked people to bring the food up, "Presumably you are already hungry, this concubine is not the kind of unreasonable person, today's meal is what this concubine invites you." ”
The rich merchants were already hungry, so they devoured it.
After getting the silver, Cheng Ge and Qin Changqi didn't stay long, Lord Zhou sent a group of people to help them escort the silver to Qingzhou, before leaving, Cheng Ge quietly said something to Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou's face changed abruptly, his mouth opened and he didn't say anything.
After leaving Mingzhou, Qin Changqi asked curiously, "What did you just say to your uncle?" I don't think his face is very good. ”
"It's nothing." Cheng Ge hooked the corners of his mouth enough, and said mysteriously, "I think that Young Master Zhou is very annoying, tell him that after dealing with the affairs of Qingzhou, we will come back, and then I will finish the previous matter with this Young Master Zhou." ”
Qin Changqi couldn't help laughing, Lord Zhou's most distressed thing was Young Master Zhou, what Zhou Xin did not say before, but Cheng Ge couldn't help but care.
The group hurriedly walked in the direction of Qingzhou.
At this time, Zhang Hongtao was in ambush, ready to take down this wave of bandits in one fell swoop. The bandits also heard the news that the king and his wife of Chang'an were coming to Qingzhou, so they firmly believed in it and gathered a large number of people and horses to come to this valley. They were also a little worried about whether it would be a trap, but they thought of more benefits and decided to give it a go.
When they arrived here, the group pretending to be Qin Changqi also came on the field. The bandits hurriedly chased after him, Zhang Hongtao saw this scene and hurriedly rushed down with people, and soon, the two waves of people fought together.
When Cheng Ge and his party came over with silver, they happened to see the scene of the fight, and they were slightly stunned: What is the situation? It was Qin Changqi who reacted relatively quickly, letting Cheng Ge and his party wait in place, and he led people forward to support Zhang Hongtao.
Although Zhang Hongtao and his entourage had been prepared, the bandits were no worse than those soldiers, and they fought up and down, and the two horses were glued together. Cheng Ge frowned and looked at the scene in front of her, it seemed that she had to come out.
Cheng Ge let the wind and guard the silver, and quietly detoured from the side with the poison in his hand. It happened that at this time, a mountain bandit saw her movements, so he ran over with a knife. Qin Changqi watched from afar, but he couldn't catch up, and there was a trace of fear in his heart, but the next second he was relieved.
I saw that Cheng Ge casually raised the medicinal powder in his hand, and pasted the mountain bandit's face, the mountain bandit was blinded for a while, and he thought that someone would be like this, he thought it was just a handful of soil, but the next second he felt that he was dizzy, and then fell to the ground in the dark.
Cheng Ge didn't worry that her people would be hurt at this time, she just sprinkled the general **, this ** medicine is extremely powerful, and a light sprinkling can make an elephant stunned on the ground. After Cheng Ge's sneak attack, the bandits soon fell to the ground.
Zhang Hongtao looked at the enemies all over the ground and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was a little underestimated, he didn't expect this group of people to be so powerful. Fortunately, Qin Changqi and Cheng Ge arrived in time, otherwise the whole scene would not be easy to clean up.
"Thank you, princess." Zhang Hongtao hugged his fists and saluted.
"Lord Zhang has worked hard." Qin Changqi nodded and said, "We have already raised the silver, and the distribution work will depend on Master Zhang in the future." ”
Zhang Hongtao nodded happily, he was originally a little worried that it would be difficult to raise money at such an urgent moment, but he didn't expect it to be raised so quickly, worthy of the King of Chang'an and the Princess of Chang'an.
The group greeted each other for a while and then rode back to Qingzhou.
……
Qingzhou prefect yamen.
The imperial doctors in the capital had already arrived, and Cheng Ge saw his old acquaintance Lu Changting.
"Lu Yuanzheng?" Cheng Ge greeted him with a happy face, "I didn't expect the emperor to send you over, but it was hard along the way?" ”
When Lu Changting saw Cheng Ge, his heart was like a happy flower, he hadn't seen Cheng Ge for a long time, he only occasionally heard about her, and he was very concerned about him in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.
"How is the princess doing all the way?" Lu Changting pinched his sleeves, held back the excitement in his heart and said, "The minister heard that there is a princess here this time, and he thought that he could learn a few tricks from the princess again, and asked the princess not to dislike the minister's clumsiness." ”
Cheng Ge couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled, "Lu Yuan is too modest......
When the two of them were greeting, Qin Changqi walked over quickly and interrupted the two of them to speak. He had already seen two people talking and laughing, and he was very unhappy, so he walked over quickly.
"Princess, I'll go see the patients and their families first." Qin Changqi said in a deep voice, looking serious, frowning, as if he was really distressed for those people.
Cheng Ge didn't doubt him, and hurriedly said, "Then let's go quickly." After speaking, she walked in the direction of the mine, and the pace was so fast that Qin Changqi wondered if she had practiced light skills. Seeing the two of them leaving together, Lu Changting and another imperial doctor also followed, and it turned out that they were going to take care of the injured people, and the imperial doctor should also be by his side.
Qin Changqi asked them to come over as well, and they didn't speak.
Zhang Hongtao and Bai Zixiu were at the scene, and many people set up tents there and slept there. The collapsed mine is in shambles, and you can tell at a glance that something big has happened here. Zhang Hongtao and Bai Zixiu looked solemn, not knowing what to do now......
