It is hard for Hua Yan to imagine that the people behind him are more rooted than the Hua family, and the only loophole is that the Hua family has never been contaminated with the imperial power from generation to generation. Therefore, the troubles involved in the imperial power are so difficult to investigate under the surging tide of social affairs.

The Heilong River burst its embankment a few decades ago, the flood in the river valley five years ago, and the chaos in the southwest half a year ago.

Xia Ze suddenly said, "Sister Yan, there may be a secret passage in Bei'an City. ”

"Huh?" Hua Yan turned her head sharply and looked at Xia Ze.

Xia Ze was suddenly stared at by her, and his voice suddenly became quieter, "I'm guessing, I just think that we can't find anything out of this way of checking the law, maybe it's because it's hidden too deep at all, and there have been tricks since ancient times......"

Hua Yan woke up and immediately said, "What you said is right, maybe this is really possible." ”

Cheng Guzhi also looked at Xia Ze at this time and nodded, "Xia Ze is right, there are some things that can't be made out of thin air." ”

Hua Yan thought for a moment, if he checked the secret passage hidden in the shadows in Bei'an City, these people in front of him would not be able to use it, they were not good at it. An 16 and An 17 have to be used and good at it, but protecting the people who go out of the city to place and keep an eye on the abnormal ones is the most important thing at present.

She immediately made a decision and said to Cai Qing, "Send a message to Yun Dark, so that he doesn't have to check it first, and immediately withdraw with someone, I have something important for him to do." ”

For the art of organs, the best in the world is in addition to the dark line of the flower family, the hidden door of the rivers and lakes, and the secret guard of Taizu.

Cai Qing answered, and immediately ordered someone to deliver the message.

Hua Yan turned to the sky and said, "If it is an extremely deep secret passage, is it equivalent to a cave in a bitter cold desert land, warm in winter and cool in summer, easy to live in, and easy to store some things?" ”

Tian Bu nodded, "Indeed, in such a snowy weather, at least we won't feel like we are freezing to death." ”

Hua Yan finally understood that when they talked earlier, they said that freezing to death in such a snowy weather made her feel wrong, it turned out to be because of this. She patted Xia Ze on the shoulder, smiled and said, "If you really find out something, I will give you a great credit for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Xia Ze's eyes lit up and he nodded.

At this time, the fifth prince finally understood why Hua Yan valued Xia Ze, at such a young age, so smart, few people can match it. Whether it is the fourth brother or the fourth sister-in-law, it is always extremely accurate to see people.

Hua Yan ordered someone to withdraw for the time being, and returned to the residence with the group.

Two hours later, when it was about to get dark, Yun Dian returned to Bei'an City with all the secret guards, saw Hua Yan, and bowed down.

Hua Yan saw that a layer of frost fell on his tight black clothes, which showed how fast he came back from galloping back on such a snowy and cold day. She said softly, "It's hard work. ”

Yun Di was stunned.

Hua Yan personally poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "Drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”

Yun Dian stretched out his hand to take it, and his voice was slow, "Thank you, master." ”

Hua Yan said to him, "These two days, can you have a harvest?" ”

Yun Dian didn't drink the hot tea immediately, the heat of the hot tea cup passed into his heart through the palm of his hand, and he shook his head, "After more than a hundred people died in Qingpu County, the plague was controlled, but the source seems to be no trace. ”

Hua Yan nodded, she had expected that Qingpu County was a disguise, and it was right. She asked, "What if I gave you two hours to rest?" I have a very important matter, and it has to be you. ”

Yun Di immediately said, "No need to rest. ”

Hua Yan looked at him and said, "This matter is dangerous, you take people to rest for two hours, and after two hours, thoroughly investigate all the secret passages in Bei'an City, I suspect that Bei'an City is hiding the source of the plague." During a thorough investigation, be sure to do a good job of personal protection. ”

Yun Di lowered his hand, "Master rest assured." ”

Hua Yan nodded, since she received Yun Yin and Taizu Secret Guard, she has saved a lot of effort, and it is indeed safe and easy to use.

Yun Dian drank the hot tea in his hand and retreated.

Two hours later, the sky was completely dark, and Yun Di took Taizu to secretly investigate the secret passage of Bei'an City. The entire Bei'an City is as bright as last night, the lights are bright, and the streets, courtyards, houses, and roofs are as bright as day.

Hua Yan didn't feel sleepy, and called Cheng Guzhi to play with him.

Cheng Guzhi is naturally not Hua Yan's opponent, and after three games, Hua Yan unceremoniously killed a piece of armor without giving face. The murderous aura is very great.

After three games of chess, Cheng Guzhi said helplessly, "My chess skills are not enough to make the crown princess extinguish the fire, ashamed." ”

Hua Yan did have a sense of depression in her heart, but she smiled when she heard this, pushed the chessboard, and asked outside, "How many people have died?" ”

Cai Qing whispered, "Since noon, more than 200 people have died from the plague. Half of the 3,000 people who were sent back by the Sixteenth Prince during the day were also infected with the plague. Today, in the entire city of Bei'an, there are more than 2,000 people infected with the plague. ”

Hua Yan leaned back in the chair, closed her eyes, and her face was gloomy.

Cheng Guzhi looked at Hua Yan, since ancient times, once a plague occurs, it is a death coming. It is recorded that there was no such thing as a plague to fight in this way. Not only him, but everyone around him felt that Huayan had done her best. At least until now, there has been no panic, and more than 50,000 people have been sent out of Bei'an City.

And the current death toll of the plague, more than 1,500 people, has been four days since the day the plague was discovered, so to speak, is not much. Without such effective control, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people would have been infected with the plague and died.

"It's already excellent, don't be too uncomfortable for the crown princess." He couldn't help but feel relieved, he was not very good at comforting people, especially the woman in front of him was the crown princess, and her heart was stronger than eight or nine out of ten people in this world, and he couldn't boast of being fifty percent in front of her.

Hua Yan opened her eyes, sighed, and asked, "What about the endless sky?" Ran to study again? ”

"Hmm. went. "Cheng Gu Zhizhi," he said to try again. ”

Hua Yan nodded, just try it, now there are more than 4,000 people in the city, and it is good to be able to save it.

She was thinking about it when a soldier came outside to announce, "Crown Princess, someone at the city gate wants to see you, saying that it is Qiuyue." ”

"Autumn Moon?" Hua Yan stood up, glanced at the sky outside, and asked, "Are you sure it's the name?" ”

"Yes, I heard you right." The person who came immediately said.

"Quick, please come in." Hua Yan immediately ordered, and after the order, she changed her words again, "Forget it, I'll pick her up myself." As the words fell, she walked out quickly.

Cai Qing hurriedly took the cloak and chased him out behind Hua Yan, "Although the snow has stopped outside, it is still very cold, and the cold wind is biting, you always have to put on the cloak and go out again." ”

Hua Yan stopped, took the cloak in Cai Qing's hand at the door, quickly put it on, and then walked too slowly, and her toes were light, like a touch of green smoke, and disappeared into the courtyard in a blink of an eye.

Cai Qing hurriedly chased after her with light skills, but her light skills were naturally inferior to Hua Yan, and she followed behind, and she couldn't even see her shadow. secretly thinking that the crown princess rarely uses light skills, and with such a fast body, she is a burden, and she must practice diligently in the future.

Cheng Guzhi couldn't help but think about whose identity was so valuable, and he actually asked the crown princess to go out to greet him so impatiently. He stood up and walked out.

At this time, Xia Ze suddenly walked out of the next room, as if with some indescribable emotions, and asked out loud, "Second Brother Gu, is a person named Qiuyue here?" ”

Cheng Guzhi stood at the door, stunned when he heard the words, nodded, and asked, "Do you know?" ”

Xia Ze was confirmed, stood for a while, and then slowly bowed his head and whispered, "I don't know, but she is my sister." ”

Cheng Guzhi was puzzled.

Xia Ze added, "My sister is Xia Yuan, who has always been by Sister Yan's side, and has a pseudonym, which seems to be called Qiu Yue." ”

Cheng Guzhi suddenly realized that it was the little county lord of Huaiwang's Mansion that had been lost for many years. I didn't expect to be at the flower house all the time.

Hua Yan came to the city gate after a short time, looking down from the city wall, in addition to Qiu Yue, there was also An Yi and a group of Hua family secret guards, she didn't see Hua Zhuo, she immediately jumped off the city wall, and ordered the soldiers, "Open the city gate." ”

The soldiers immediately opened the city gates.

Hua Yan stood at the door, as the city gate slowly opened, Qiu Yue also saw Hua Yan, first stunned, then red eyes, immediately dismounted, ran at her, and in a blink of an eye, she threw herself into her arms and hugged her.

Hua Yan was hit by her momentum and took a step back, but she still hugged her steadily, and said with a smile, "Don't tell me that you are going to cry again when we first meet." ”

Qiu Yue couldn't help but want to cry, and when she heard Hua Yan's words, she held back her tears vividly, and choked up, "I don't cry, why are you so thin?" Holding the Duyi people. After saying that, she let go of Huayan in disgust.

Hua Yan was stunned for a moment, angry and laughing, and reached out to pinch Qiu Yue's face.

Qiu Yue turned her head and stomped her feet, "I won't let you pinch my face." ”

Seeing that she was hiding quickly, Hua Yan sighed and looked at Qiu Yue with admiration, "What?" Follow my brother's side, the way is high. ”

Qiu Yue's face flushed.

An Yi and the secret guard of the Hua family stepped forward to salute Hua Yan at this time, and then interjected with a smile, "The son has explained, there is no more Qiuyue girl, only the young lady." ”

Hua Yan heard this, looked at Qiu Yue teasingly, and Da Le, "Oh, I understand, it's time for me to change my name to sister-in-law." ”

Qiu Yue's face turned even redder and wanted to refute, but looking at Hua Yan Dale, she couldn't refute it.
