Yun Yao took a few brothers to catch the white bird, and learned that the Divine King Palace's order to hunt and kill her, so she gave the white bird to Xiao Chuhan again at the suggestion of Da Niu.

After all, Xiao Chuhan thinks about the problem a little more, and he can't be as happy as them. After carefully interrogating the white bird, he was "escorted" back to the City of the God King.

The white bird went and received a much heavier punishment than the witch vault. After listening to Yao Xuan's report, Le Xin Niangniang reprimanded him and ordered him to immediately send additional men, and he must immediately kill Yun Yao and bring the body back to the God King City intact.

Yao Xuan sent a few people, but they didn't find any trace of Yun Yao, and he was worried there, and now Xiao Chuhan came to the door for help, but he avoided marriage everywhere, what else did he not understand?

The son-in-law couldn't do it, so he just asked him to take the blame.

Yao Xuan trembled and entered the inner garden to see Lexin, and said nonsense under pressure: "Niangniang, it's not that my subordinates are incompetent, but that Zhao Yun'er has been blessed by the King of Xiliang, and now I don't know where to hide." The subordinates have ordered people to pursue them with all their might, but there is no news so far......"

Yao Xuan didn't finish his sentence, but he was slapped by Le Xin in the air, and immediately fell to the ground with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Rubbish! How can you dare to shirk me like this? Now you will send him a decree and order him to tie Zhao Yun'er to the God King City, this time the palace will live! ”

If Yao Xuan had the ability to order Xiao Chuhan, he would have done so a long time ago. The reason why he risked his life to see Lexin was nothing more than to tear a tiger skin.

Yao Xuan knelt down with a sad face, and said: "Back to Niangniang, that Xiao Chuhan has obtained new seeds and waterwheels this year, vigorously developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and is about to get out of the control of my God King Palace." I don't speak very well now......"

"Rubbish! What a rubbish! Le Xin scolded, I really want to kill this incompetent guy directly. It's a pity that he has to run errands, so let's leave him with a dog's life first.

She opened the makeup box at the head of the bed, took out a dark wooden card, threw it at Yao Xuan, and scolded: "Take it, order Xiao Chuhan to hand over Zhao Yun'er, and then add some taxes to Xiliangzhou." But if he does not listen, he will appoint a new obedient king. ”

Yao Xuan respectfully took the wooden card with both hands and withdrew from the main hall. Walking out of the gate of the inner garden, he regained the prestige of the Great Elder.

"Heh, Xiao Chuhan, this is the price you pay for offending me. If Yan'er hadn't married you, do you think you would have had another chance to stand in front of me? ”

Yao Xuan took the Divine King Decree, which represented the supreme authority of the Divine King Palace, and returned home with his hands behind his back. He ordered someone to call Wuku's son Wuzhu, and after carefully admonishing him for a long time, he ordered him to rush to Xiliang Wangcheng with the original team of Wuku.

"Xiao Chuhan, I hope you can understand current affairs and don't force me to kill you all!" Yao Xuan sat in the study for a long time with a gloomy face, and then patted his sleeves and went back to the backyard to comfort his beloved daughter Yan Ji.

Anyway, what her daughter wants is Xiao Chuhan, even if he can't be the king of Xiliang, it doesn't matter. This time he sent Wu Zhu to announce the decree, if he dared to disobey, hehe, then don't blame his subordinates for being ruthless.

Xiao Chuhan ran in vain and returned, so he had to order the prime minister to reduce the disaster relief food for the winter in various places by three points. This winter, it is inevitable that people will starve to death in places where there are no high-yielding rice and sweet potatoes, but he really can't get food.

Xiao Chuhan sighed for a long time, comparing Yun Yao with the people countless times in his heart, but no one could give it up.

Alas, what to do? For Yun'er, he can no longer exchange his marriage for supplies, but how should the people live this winter?

It's not that he didn't think about asking Yun Yao for help, but he really couldn't open his mouth. Thinking that he is the lord of a state, except for giving Yun Yao a false name as a county lord, he has never done anything else for her, but he has repeatedly received Yun Yao's help.

Although he had just given Yun Yao the Xiliang Royal Clan's holy relics, he couldn't exchange it for it. That was the sincerity of his apology.

He was graying with sorrow here, but Ling Bo strode into the study. Without waiting for Xiao Chuhan to blame him for being rude, he clenched his fists and replied: "Lord Wang, the spies have come to report, and Great Elder Yao Xuan has sent a team of men and horses to rush towards Wang Cheng. According to the foot, it will be there tomorrow night. ”

Xiao Chuhan didn't care about blaming Ling Bo anymore, and quickly stood up and asked, "Do you know why he came?" ”

Ling Bo shook his head: "My subordinates don't know. I only know that not long after Yao Xuan entered the inner garden, after coming out, he sent the son of Wuku to our royal city. ”

Xiao Chuhan subconsciously tapped the table, thought for a while, and sighed: "The one who came is not good, let's follow." ”

Ling Bo is just a martial artist, and he is only responsible for protecting the safety of the prince on weekdays, and he can't understand these intriguing political methods at all. Seeing that after the prince heard the news, his brows tightened, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to turn around and go out, telling Daxizi's father-in-law to serve carefully.

Xiao Chuhan thought alone for a long time, and couldn't figure out why Yao Xuan sent someone to chase him back, so he had to put aside the matter for the time being and handle government affairs as originally planned. It's just that the word Inner Garden touched a string in his heart.

Bai Yu's confession mentioned the inner garden many times, and the letter sent by Fang Caigui also wrote the speculation of Nangong Mo and a few people, so what special characters live in the inner garden?

Without waiting for him to do more, the second day of the witch assistant came as scheduled. Unlike the Witch Vault, the Witch Cabinet is mighty and strong, and he doesn't have as many ghost hearts as the Witch Vault.

As soon as he entered the Xiliang Royal City, he revealed his identity, swaggered directly into the palace, and ordered Xiao Chuhan to come out to receive the order.

In the past, Yao Xuan sent someone to pass the order, but it was the first time to announce the decree. When Xiao Chuhan heard the word "order", he was shocked in his heart, and when Wu Zhu showed the decree of the god king, he could only lead someone to put down the incense case to receive the order.

Wu Zhu has no culture, and he doesn't know how to be tactful at all, so he read aloud in front of the ministers of Wangcheng: "Xiao Chuhan, the king of Xiliang, received the divine decree: order Xiao Chuhan to hand over the demon girl Zhao Yun'er immediately, and from this year onwards, the taxes in Xiliang Prefecture will be increased by three percent, and those who resist will be killed!" ”

What the?! Taxes plus 30%?!

Xiao Chuhan was startled, and hurriedly stood up and asked, "Divine envoy, may I ask if this order was given by the Great Elder?" This year's tax in Xiliang Prefecture has already been paid in full, why is it added by 30%? ”

The ministers below also whispered, and they all looked at Wu Zhu and waited for him to explain.

Wu Zhu's father has been imprisoned and suffering in prison because of Xiliang's affairs, and where will he have a good face for Xiliang people.

He snorted, and then said in a cold voice: "This is the supreme will of the Divine King Palace, how do I know why?" The Great Elder ordered you to gather all the materials within a month and personally escort them to the Divine King City, otherwise this Xiliang King will have to be replaced by another person. ”

After speaking, he didn't forget to remind: "There is also Zhao Yun'er's matter, don't blame me for not reminding you, the Great Elder ordered you not to continue to hide the demon girl, and be responsible for the same crime with her!" ”

Xiao Chuhan received two heavy blows in a row at once, and his face turned a little pale. He forced himself to calm down and said: "Please ask the divine envoy to rest in the post house for a few days, Xiao Wang has something to ask." ”

Wu Zhu didn't give a good face at all, and turned around and walked out with his own people, saying as he walked: "Don't come with me, it's not good!" The Great Elder explained, do you have anything to say, take Zhao Yun'er to God King City to find him in person. I'm just a herald, and it's useless for you to tell me anything. ”

Wu Zhu is a person who is soft and hard, does not eat oil and salt, and no matter how carefully Xiao Chuhan entertains good words, he will not let go at all.

In fact, he is not wrong, he is just a herald, and he really can't be the master. If this matter wants to be resolved, there is only one shortcut, that is, Xiao Chuhan immediately prepares a guard of honor to marry Yan Ji and enter the door. became the son-in-law of the great elder, and everything was easy to discuss between Weng and his son-in-law.

However, this shortcut is tantamount to a sea of swords and fire for Xiao Chuhan at this time.

He had already made up his mind that as long as Yun Yao was alone in this life, even if the road ahead was full of thorns, he would never back down. It's just Yun'er, can she know her own mind?

Sending Wu Zhu away, Xiao Chuhan convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Lord Wang, according to what the ministers have seen, we should immediately send someone to arrest the demon girl and send it to the God King City. After completing this first, you can discuss the tax increase with the Great Elder. ”

The left minister spoke quite seriously, but the right minister said bluntly: "Yes, you hurry up and get married to Miss Yan Ji, and when the time comes, the tax increase and tax reduction will not be a matter of the great elder's words?" The matter of this demon girl Zhao Yun'er is the point! ”

Seeing that the people below were seconding the proposal, Xiao Chuhan was reluctant to speak out with a calm face.

These people have been using the court for many years, but when something happens, they only know how to blame each other. Tell them to figure out a way, and their solution is to sell themselves themselves.

"Alright, no more! The king will deal with the matter of God's will, and you will distribute the winter supplies according to the original plan, and you must ensure that there will be no more deductions, otherwise the king will take your head first. Xiao Chuhan waved his sleeves and retreated to the palace alone.

He didn't go anywhere, but walked to the Jinyun Palace where Yun Yao lived.

Everything here remains the same as when Yun Yao left. The flowers and plants she likes are still flourishing, the clothes prepared for her are still hanging in the closet, and many winter clothes have been added.

Seeing him coming, Xiao Xi hurriedly greeted him, but was sent away by Xiao Chuhan.

He walked into the dormitory alone, pushed open the door, and sat on the soft collapse where Yun Yao often sits.

"Yun'er, Yun'er, do you know that I have done my best for you? Now if I sit on the tip of a knife, if I don't do well, I will be crushed to pieces, and I will have to catch up with the people of this whole state. Yun'er, what should I do? ”

He had never missed Yun Yao like he did now, and he had never felt so weak. I miss Yun'er's warm little hand to caress his cheek again, and I miss her warm embrace more!

"Everyone works together, and the people of the Great Wilderness can live a good life." Yun Yao's words of encouragement were in her ears, but Xiao Chuhan's face showed a wry smile.

How hard to try? He has worked hard, but not only did the people fail to eat and clothe, but they had to bear another 30% tax increase because of him.

"Lord Wang......" Ling Bo walked to the door at some point, and asked hesitantly: "Now that the deadline for January has passed for three days, I don't know what the prince has planned?" ”
