The young man seems to be in his early twenties, Xu has been abused by the people of Danfu County all the year round, and he has been eaten by pigs and dogs, and he is already skinny at this time, with a delicate face with sunken cheeks and sunken eye sockets, looking very pitiful.

When he returned to the fire, he didn't know what etiquette was, so he sat down directly with a bamboo stick, one broken leg was straightened, and the severed right arm was stung and bandaged, and the arm was hung with a strip of cloth at this time.

Xiaoxue asked a few surprises: "How is this person injured?" ”

Stunned sat down, so the person is deaf and mute, and he is not so evasive when he speaks, "The arms and legs are broken by life, the legs are fine, Xu is a bone crack for a long time, he slowly grew and closed, although the recovery is not good, it looks a little crooked, but at least it will not affect too much, but it is a little lame when walking." The arm is completely broken, the bones inside are broken, and they are all connected by the skin and flesh outside, I just straightened his bones, found a branch to bandage and fix, and I want to go to the Liao Hall Master to find a doctor for him to take a good look. ”

Xiaoxue and the others all nodded, looking at the young man with sympathy.

Shocked and asked, "Madame is resting?" ”

"Yes."

"Then let's take turns to keep vigil, let's all rest, and tomorrow we have to go to meet the master."

"Okay."

After the four of them had taken a good decision, they rested to their own devices.

When they got up early the next morning, Qin Yining and Jiyun were dressed neatly, and came out of the tent with towels and green salt, and saw the young man huddled by the fire.

Xu heard the footsteps, and the young man's eyes suddenly opened in vigilance, and when he first opened his eyes, there was a kind of wild beast that was disturbed by the guard and ferocity.

But seeing that the person who made the voice was Qin Yining, his ferocity quickly disappeared, lowered his eyes and lowered his head, and nodded at Qin Yining indiscriminately.

Qin Yining smiled and took hands with Jiyun to wash.

Everything was taken care of, and when they returned to the camp, a few people had a simple breakfast, and the stunned arranged for Xiao Han to find out the news of Xiao Xiao, and told Xiao Xue to send the young man to find the master of Liao Hall.

Qin Yining handed over a few silver tickets of ten taels to the young man, and gestured to him: "This is for you, when you get to my Zhuangzi, let them find a doctor to treat your injuries and illnesses." ”

The young man took the silver ticket and looked at Qin Yining suspiciously.

Qin Yining gestured with his hand and imitated the doctor's appearance when he saw a doctor and said it several times, and the young man completely understood.

He looked at Qin Yining, holding the silver ticket and slowly lowered his head.

Qin Yining knew that this person didn't know much about etiquette, and he didn't care much, so he turned to tell Xiaoxue: "Pay more attention to yourself, you don't have to rush to Huichuan when you arrive, I will go back with the prince in a few days." ”

The light snow should fall, and the horses should be prepared.

Not long after, Xiao Han, who inquired about the whereabouts of Xiao Xiao and his party, came back.

"Madam, it's also a coincidence, the master's team is stationed on another road, let's go over there, but the two pillars of incense can meet in time."

Qin Yining was surprised, "It's so close, if you go a different way yesterday, you won't meet it." ”

"yes."

Qin Yining was very happy, at this time the camp had been cleaned and the fire had been disposed of, so Qin Yining and Jiyun boarded the carriage, and several people were stunned to catch a car.

Xiao Xue led the two horses, brought the baggage, and pulled the young man to stand on the side of the road and watch Qin Yining's team walk away.

The young man looked in the direction in which the carriage had left, his hand holding the silver ticket clenched a little more, and his pale lips pursed.

Xiaoxue turned to smile and said, "Let's go, let's go too." ”

The young man clumsily mounted his horse with the help of Xiaoxue.

Xiao Xiao's team was stationed not far away, and Xiao Han had just come, knowing that Qin Yining was not far away, Xiao Xiao was not in a hurry to pull out the camp, and waited for Qin Yining in place.

Not long after, Qin Yining's team came.

Tang Xiu and the others saw Qin Yining's team approaching from a distance, and greeted them with a smile, and some people walked quickly to spread the word inside.

Qin Yining got out of the carriage and saw Xiao Xiao striding out of the tent. He was wearing a tooth-white brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist, with the dignity of a prince and grandson, and he couldn't tell that this person was a leader of the troops, obviously dressed up like this on purpose, in order to show his identity.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi followed behind Xiao Xiao, and saluted when they saw Qin Yining.

Qin Yining hurriedly avoided it and said with a smile: "The two gentlemen should not be like this." ”

Xiao Xiao had already stepped forward and said with concern: "I don't think why you have to come back tomorrow or tomorrow, and you are letting the team slow down, why did you return so quickly?" Did something happen? ”

Qin Yining nodded, and said with a solemn face: "There is something to do, let's go in and talk about it." ”

Seeing Qin Yining's complexion, everyone knew something strange. The group entered the camp tent and sat down according to their identity, Qin Yining talked about what he saw and heard in Danfu County, so that he finally escaped with the young man, and how he settled the young man, and finally concluded:

"The people of Danfu County are simple and ignorant, perhaps because of the influence of the three local clans, they act somewhat brutely, they seem to have a deep misunderstanding of the imperial court, and they don't pay attention to etiquette, they are only willing to believe the words of their local clansmen. In addition, they must have misunderstood you, the loyal prince. ”

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi couldn't help but look solemn when they heard this.

"It's not going to be easy. I don't know what these people misunderstood, and they actually regarded the prince as a beast of the flood. Their refusal to go to Huichuan County must also be related to the source of this misunderstanding, and if this is the case, it is really difficult to do. ”

"yes. The prince has never done anything to be sorry for the people, how did their misunderstanding come about? ”

Qin Yining said: "I'm also very puzzled, it's just that something happened at that time, and I can't stay there anymore, I just want to talk about it when we go." In addition, I accidentally showed my face at the time and went back to Danford County, and I had to dress up well so that no one could see it. ”

Xiao Xiao patted Qin Yining's cheek, "I'm not afraid, those people don't dare to stare at you, besides, when we arrive in Danfu County, you are dressed more luxuriously, and your makeup has changed, compared with the current makeup, there is still a big difference, they can't recognize it." What's more, even if they recognize it, they are all ordinary people, what can they say? ”

"That's just as well." Qin Yining said with relief, "I was also too nervous, and I tried to be perfect in everything, but it was also my negligence at that time, and I didn't care about wearing a hat." ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head, "The information you found is already very useful. At least we know how the people of Danford County feel about me. I don't know where I provoked the wrath of the people. It makes these people so resentful. ”

"I'm afraid that's what we need to find out."

Xie Yue said: "According to the old man, let's set off immediately, and first go to find out the tone of Chengzhi County." This person has a lot to do with the Lu family, and he always feels that he can get some clues from him. ”

Xiao Xiao agreed, "What Mr. Xie said is true. Let's set out in a moment. ”

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Qin Yining and Jiyun went to the tent to change into a luxurious aqua blue skirt, their long hair was pulled up high, and they were fixed with a silver flower head, Qin Yining felt that this was too quiet, and brought a pearl headband and a bracelet of mutton fat and white jade, which would not break the rules of filial piety, and could see the dignity of identity at a glance.

When the shape of the eyebrows was changed slightly, the tail of the eyebrows was raised obliquely, and the lips were dotted with lipstick made of red peony flowers, the whole person's popularity improved, and the appearance of the cloth clothes and hairpins when he was a merchant was already like two people.

Jiyun also changed back to his usual clothes, and after helping Qin Yining out, Xiao Xiao asked people to pack up the tent, and then boarded the same carriage with Qin Yining.

The prince's trip was intentional, and it was naturally huge. In addition to the Jinghu Guard, Xiao Xiao also brought dozens of palace guards, several carriages lined up in turn, with Jinghu guards escorting the carriage, and the carriage followed by the palace guards.

The journey was very smooth, and by the afternoon, the team was already approaching the county seat of Danford.

Xiao Xiao arranged for people to go to the city to inform Cheng Zhixian, and the rest of the people repaired in place.

After an hour, the gates of the city were opened.

Tang Xiu said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, the people in the city came out to greet each other. ”

The car curtain was raised, and Qin Yining also leaned over to look out.

I saw that the open city gate was crowded with people, and the common people were crowded to look out.

Xiao Xiao chuckled: "This Cheng Zhi County can be regarded as a royal family, and in an hour's time, the people in the city can be mobilized to come out to greet each other, which shows the appeal of Cheng Zhi County." ”

Qin Yining smiled, "So I can mobilize in this matter, but I can't do it well in the matter of building the imperial tomb and recruiting people, and I can't tell who is behind this." ”

As he spoke, he saw that the people of the city began to stir, and then an errand came from behind the crowd, and the people Moses gave way to both sides, and a group of people came from the city quickly.

The man at the head of the group stood about the age of the man, of medium stature, with an elegant appearance, a typical white-faced scholar, dressed in a green plate-collared official robe, with a yellow oriole patch on his chest, and gradually showing a smile when he walked, and bowed slightly respectfully.

"Cheng Jun of Danfuzhi County, with the county and the elderly, are here to greet Prince Zhongshun!" Cheng Zhixian reported his name and respectfully bowed.

The county lords, masters, elders, and people behind him all saluted, and said in a loud voice: "The prince is a thousand years old!" Chichitose! ”

Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining glanced at each other, then got out of the carriage first, and stepped forward with a smile: "Cheng Zhixian is so polite." Everyone, please get up too. ”

Qin Yining got off the station and settled down, and slowly walked behind Xiao Xiao under Jiyun's service and the escort of the guards.

Cheng Zhixian thanked him respectfully, raised his eyes and saw Qin Yining, and immediately saluted again: "I've seen the princess." ”

Qin Yining smiled gently, "No courtesy." ”

After getting closer, Qin Yining noticed that there was a familiar face among the elders behind Cheng Zhixian.

It was the elder who had a confrontation with her on the street yesterday.

Qin Yining's face did not change and his eyes drooped, showing the nobility and dignity of the princess to the fullest.

And the few people behind Cheng Zhixian were still a little curious, and wanted to raise their eyes to peek at them, but they lowered their heads one by one when they looked at Shang Xiaoxiao's smiling but sharp gaze.
