Cheng Zhixian said politely: "Xiaguan learned that the prince was coming, and immediately led the people out to greet him. The people of this county all admire the character of the prince, and deeply admire the prince's great military exploits, and they have come spontaneously today, all want to see the prince's demeanor, and the city gate seems to be slightly chaotic, and please don't blame the prince. ”

"Where," said the little one movingly, "this king has only done what he should have done, and if he talks about any military exploits, where is the merit of this king?" This king is at the behest of the Holy Lord, and everything is done by the will of the Holy One. ”

Cheng Zhixian immediately said with admiration on his face: "Prince Zhongshun is really a loyal man, but the subordinate is too one-sided." You please. Princess please. He stepped aside and made a gesture of please.

"Please."

The two sides gave in, and Xiao Xiao and Cheng Zhixian walked to the city. Qin Yining led his entourage to follow behind him.

The people welcomed and enthusiastic, and they were all excited to see the owl one by one, some stretched their necks to look in from the periphery of the crowd, and some were close to praise and praise Prince Zhongshun's good demeanor.

As he walked forward, he kept smiling and politely saluted the people, causing the people to cheer and talk even more.

Qin Yining followed behind with her eyes down, only feeling as if she was being paraded through the streets, if she hadn't come to investigate before, knowing that the people here had deep prejudices and hostility towards the, I was afraid that seeing them in such a situation, she would really be deceived by the illusion, and she would be proud and satisfied.

But now, she only thinks that the people here are difficult to mess with, and the man who is even more male to deal with is Cheng Zhixian who follows Xiao Xiao's side.

She wanted to know how Cheng Zhixian gathered so many people to welcome Xiao Xiao when the people were resisting Xiao Xiao in their hearts?

If she was wrong, only a small number of the people were hostile, and most of them came spontaneously now, so that would be fine. But if all this is the operation of Cheng Zhixian, this person's ability can be seen.

Qin Yining greeted the people with a smile on his face, and took the opportunity to roughly analyze the current situation in his heart.

Soon, the group walked to the front of the government office, and Cheng Zhixian politely led Xiao Xiao and his party into the government to rest, leaving the servants outside to persuade the people to go back to rest.

As Qin Yining expected, the people left very happily.

When Chengzhi County instructed his subordinates to do things, Qin Yining raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xiao, and the two looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"The lower officials learned that the prince and the princess came to this county, and specially sorted out the back office of the palace, and also wronged the prince and the princess to live here temporarily."

"Where, Cheng Zhixian really doesn't have to be so polite, this king can rest wherever he wants, and whoever fought on the battlefield in the past can be regarded as an excellent treatment on the haystack."

Cheng Zhixian said with admiration: "The prince is really a real hero, a real hero!" The prince is dedicated to the people, and he really makes the officials admire. The lower officials also understand that the prince is sympathetic to the lower officials and does not want to work hard to mobilize the people, but now the government has been prepared. I also asked the prince to move to the throne and settle in the government for the time being. Xia Guan also prepared a table of thin wine, and invited the prince to appreciate it. ”

"I have worked a lot to know the county, and this king has come to do an errand, but he has to work with Cheng Zhixian to arrange, so I really don't want to go." Xiao Xiao carefully looked at Cheng Zhixian's expression, he came here to do an errand for the people, Cheng Zhixian couldn't be completely unaware, he wanted to see how Cheng Zhixian would answer.

Who knew that Cheng Zhixian didn't accept this stubble at all, but said humbly and respectfully: "Where, where." Picking up the prince's drive and arranging the speed, these are all things within the official duty, and the prince really doesn't have to worry about not going. ”

Qin Yining sneered when he heard it. This man is slippery loach-like, and it seems that it is impossible to speak directly.

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao returned to the back office, rectified it slightly, and went to the front hall to attend the dinner.

Originally, Cheng Zhixian also prepared singers and dancers, orchestral silk and bamboo, but Xiao Xiao was already inconvenient to make fun in filial piety, so he sent people out.

Cheng Zhixian changed his way and introduced the county, career, and elders of each family in the county to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao showed dignity and courtesy to these people, and Qin Yining also cooperated, and he could enliven the atmosphere between talking and laughing. Make the atmosphere of this dinner party without singing and dancing lively.

After the banquet, Cheng Zhixian said respectfully: "The lower official will leave now." Please also ask the prince and the princess to rest early. ”

"Thank you Cheng Zhixian." Xiao Xiao smiled and bowed his head, "I'll ask the magistrate about the errand tomorrow." ”

Cheng Zhixian behaved frankly, said yes again and again, and said: "It is the glory of the lower officials to have the opportunity to work with the prince, and please rest at ease." ”

After being polite again, Xiao Xiao ordered Tang Xiu to send Cheng Zhixian out, and then went back to the room to rest.

At this time, Qin Yining had already changed into a half-new and old green gown that he wore at home, and his long hair had already spread out. She sent Jiyun to rest, and sat on the edge of the bed while reading idle books while waiting for the owl.

In the warm and soft light, Qin Yining's long hair was really too soft, and his eyes softened.

"Sister Yi'er. Tired, right? ”

"It's fine." Qin Yining put down the book with a smile, got up and served the owl to wash and change clothes.

"This Danford County is really a big problem. It's also difficult to find such a clever person for the Lu family. ”

"You think there's something unusual here, too?"

"Yes." Xiao Xiao said seriously: "I have been observing the people here. Really welcome or walk the form, I still have a clear telling. In addition, Cheng Weimin's actions can be said to be leaky, and he does not accept any verbal temptations or provocations, which shows the depth of this person's city, maybe he is ready for everything. ”

"So it's difficult to solve the matter of the people." Qin Yining handed the handkerchief to Xiao Xiao to wipe his face, "If you start lightly, the problem cannot be solved, and in the end, the Holy Lord will blame you for your bad deeds." But if you start too hard, it is very easy to cause dissatisfaction among the people. They don't know how they misunderstand you now, and if you add a bad impression, I'm afraid it will inspire a civil uprising. ”

Xiao Xiao also straightened his expression, "That's what you said." So we have to arrange these in advance, so as not to be caught. It's not easy to do things if there is a civil uprising. ”

It's good to say to the enemy that his knife is not afraid to drink blood. But for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Shen knew the truth that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and he cherished his feathers very much, but he didn't want to be smeared by anyone.

After all, they had been in a hurry all the way, and Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining were very tired, so they washed up properly and settled down.

Qin Yining opened his eyes again, and was awakened by a voice outside the door.

"Lord, princess, there's an accident outside!"

Xiao Xiao jumped up, without a little impatience of lack of sleep in his expression, but asked seriously: "What's wrong?" ”

Outside the door, Tang Xiu's head was full of sweat, "Lord Wang, the mansion is surrounded!" ”

Xiao Xiao's expression froze, and he turned around and took Qin Yining's hand and asked her to get up: "Sister Yi'er, quickly change into clothes, bring everything you have with you, the mansion is surrounded." As he spoke, he moved neatly.

Qin Yining hurriedly got up, put on his coat, put on an overhaul cloak, didn't have time to comb his hair, first put the small medicine bag left by rock candy into his arms, thought about it, and then put on a silver ticket and a dagger, and finally found a hairband to tie his long hair in a bunch.

The whole process of tidying up is just a breath in between.

"Lord Wang." Outside the door, Tang Xiu asked anxiously, "There are many people gathered outside, and the front and back of the government have been blocked." It looks like the local people, what should we do? ”

Xiao Xiao stepped forward and pushed the door open, and said calmly: "Don't worry, wait until you go to the door with this king to find out." ”

"Yes." Seeing that Xiao Xiao was so calm, Tang Xiu immediately put his mind at ease, responded in a deep voice, and followed.

Qin Yining's compartment had also been sorted out, Jiyun and Jingyun had heard the news, and several people also followed Qin Yining's side and walked quickly towards the gate.

At this time, the gate of the government was closed, but in the night, even if the gate was closed, it was not difficult to see the fire outside from the wall and hear the voices of the crowd.

Xiao Xiao's face turned cold, and he snorted: "It's really interesting." There is also a post house in the local area, this king came, and he didn't stay in the post house, who leaked this news? These people want to block the door of this king, and instead of going to the post house, they come to the palace, and they know the whereabouts of this king so well. ”

Obviously, the problem lies with Cheng Zhixian and his party! If it's not Cheng Zhi County, it's the people around Cheng Zhi County.

Xie Yue said worriedly: "There are a lot of people who listen to the voice, Lord Wang, the guards we brought are leisurely, the good tiger can't stand the wolves, in case the mob breaks in, I'm afraid things will not be easy." ”

Xie Yue's voice fell, and he heard a loud cry outside the door.

"Open the door! Let Prince Chungshun come out! ”

"That's right, let the biggest official here come out!"

……

Someone then came up and knocked on the door.

The door of the government was so frightened that he was about to cry, his legs were as soft as noodles, and he fell in front of the door softly, and he couldn't stand up if he wanted to escape.

Jinghu Wei and the palace guards were very calm, and looked back at Xiao Xiao, "Lord Wang, please command." ”

Xiao Xiao thought for a while and said, "Open the door." ”

"Lord Wang, think twice!" Tang Xiu persuaded: "Once the door is opened, in case the other party breaks in......

"This gate can't stop the people of this county, and it's the same whether the door is open or not. Open the door. Xiao Xiao turned around and took Qin Yining's hand and asked her to stay by his side, "This king wants to see what kind of person has the courage to come and surround the prince of the dynasty in the middle of the night!" ”

"Yes!"

Infected by the calmness and momentum of the Xiaoxiao, the people present were a lot more at ease, especially the Jinghuwei, they had all fought bloody battles on the battlefield with the Xiaoxiao, how big a battle had they not seen? At present, these people are coming to make trouble, compared with the unpredictable scene of life and death on the battlefield, they are simply unable to fear.

The door creaked open. The bright torches in the hands of the people standing densely outside the door came into view, and in the dark night, it was as dazzling as if stars had fallen from the sky.

These people all carried shovels, pickaxes, sickles, clubs, and other items in their hands, and they all held torches in their hands, and they could not see the end of the crowd as far as the eye could see.

"Princess." Jiyun was shocked and held Qin Yining's arm, "Don't leave the slave's side later." There are so many people, I'm afraid that the people under the prince can't stop these people. ”

"It's okay, don't worry." Qin Yining was not afraid, patted Jiyun's shoulder comfortingly, and said in a low voice: "These people are not here to find us to die desperately, since they will come like this, they must have something to ask for, let's see what their purpose is, what they are asking for, if it is something that can be solved in general, as long as the promise is given, it should be fine." No matter how bad it is, the prince will protect us. ”

Jiyun nodded, "Princess, the slave is not afraid, if there is really danger later, the slave will definitely be able to protect you." ”

Qin Yining sneered and said softly, "Lord Wang, ask these people what they want." ”

Listening to Qin Yining's voice so relaxed, she turned around and saw that under the light of the torches, Qin Yining was still smiling relaxedly, and she was not afraid at all.

It was as if someone had gently scratched him with a feather.
