Chapter 303: Heading to Huaibei

The monster's body was taken back by Tao Jinyan, and until the end, Chu Nian couldn't know their names, but every sentence of what the monster said made Chu Nian remember it vividly.

"Huaibei ......"

In the flickering candlelight, Chu Nian was stunned, at this stall, there was a sudden knock on the door, Chu Nian got up, and saw that the door was carefully pushed open, and Zhukong showed a head, carefully looking around.

Chu Nian frowned, his figure disappeared into the darkness on the side, Zhukong's perception was very weak, until Chu Nian stood in the shadows, his eyes stared at him without blinking, and he didn't notice Chu Nian's existence.

Seeing that there seemed to be no one in the room, Zhukong crept in, and his eyes swept to the moonlit desk not far away, on which there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Chu Nian had practiced calligraphy before going to bed, but Mei Xiang hadn't had time to clean it up.

Zhukong tiptoed closer, stared intently at the white paper on the table for a while, then took out an envelope from his arms, hesitated for a while, and the envelope was placed on the table, and then saw him cautiously turn around and walk out, and carefully close the door.

A long sigh came from outside the door, and when Chu Nian came out of the shadows, the footsteps were already far away.

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the well-sealed letter on the table, and he twisted it with his bare hands, and the first few big words on it: Wushuang County Lord personally opened.

The jade finger pinched the envelope, and after a while, the corner of Chu Nian's mouth raised an imperceptible smile, she raised her eyes to look at the direction of Zhukong's departure thoughtfully, and after a while, she shook her head lightly and said: "I didn't expect that this kid was still ashamed, just let me help him one last time, I just hope that he can have a longer memory after this time." ”

Raising the corners of his mouth, Chu Nian was about to put the envelope away, but he didn't seem to think of something before he opened the corner of the envelope, and saw Mei Xiang coming in with water, seeing the bright smile on the corner of Chu Nian's mouth, Mei Xiang came over curiously.

"Lady, what's the matter, why are you so happy?"

Chu Nian smiled, "I will enter the palace tomorrow and ask to see the Queen Mother." ”

When she entered the palace the next day, the Queen Mother seemed to be ready for a long time, and when Chu Nian came to the main hall of Cining Palace under the guidance of her grandmother, the Queen Mother was already dressed neatly, and the red Dankou looked very energetic.

After Chu Nian greeted him and sat down, he walked through the forms that should be taken, and the Queen Mother picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, "Let's talk about it, you girl has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”

Chu Nian smiled slightly, and said, "The courtiers have just encountered some things recently, so they have delayed, otherwise they should have entered the palace to visit the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Nian, pondering for a moment before she said, "What happened to this, and it can still make the Wushuang County Lord sad?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian smiled, looked at the Queen Mother meaningfully and said, "Niangniang, do you know who is in charge of Huaibei?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Chu Nian in some surprise, "The area in Huaibei is basically the territory of the princes, but there is a prince who made a big mistake when the first emperor was still alive, and that prince's territory was accepted by Prince Lu, what's wrong?" ”

Prince Lu? Chu Nian raised her eyebrows, the Queen Mother would push the black pot, knowing that she mentioned this Huaibei territory to the Queen Mother, there must have been something wrong there, so she pushed it to Prince Lu - this Prince Lu Chu Nian has heard of it, but he is just a little prince, and he is close to the Wang family, of course, these are all behind the scenes, if the King of Huainan knows that there are people among the princes who have fornicated with the Wang family, I am afraid that he will find a way to get rid of this prince who eats inside and out.

However, I heard that Prince Lu has always had no strategy, and he must have been taken advantage of.

Chu Nian smiled slightly and said: "A few days ago, the courtiers met a friend who asked for help, saying that there was a pair of brothers in Huaibei who were ruined by corrupt officials, and now the two brothers have also died one after another. ”

Looking at the rather official smile on the corner of Chu Nian's mouth, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, this girl said so, where did she come from to disagree? Today, this girl has clearly made up her mind to come to her stubble?

The Queen Mother put down the teacup, glanced at Chu Nian, and then said: "It's okay, if you go, the mourning family can rest assured, this matter can be proposed by the mourning family to the emperor in person?" ”

Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Chu Nian's gourd, since Dark Rin told her to plan it......

Chu Nian got up, bowed and said: "Thank you Empress Dowager, since the Empress Dowager agrees, the courtier will go to the emperor to ask for help, so don't bother the Empress Dowager, by the way, Niangniang, is it comfortable for the head of Zhuqing Dao to live in Cining Palace?" ”

I didn't expect Chu Nian to ask like this, and the Queen Mother's expression froze, "Zhuqing is very good." ”

Chu Nian glanced at the Queen Mother meaningfully, and then said: "After all, Daoist Zhuqing is still the life-saving benefactor of the courtier, and it is still natural to say a greeting." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, didn't speak, and saw Chu Nian looking out of the hall: "It's not early, the courtiers won't accompany the Queen Mother for lunch today, I wish the Queen Mother a ...... Longevity knows no bounds. ”

After that, she arched her hand and retreated, but she didn't give the Queen Mother a chance to reflect, the Queen Mother opened her mouth, annoyed by Chu Nian's attitude of not putting herself in her eyes, but just when she wanted to get angry, the culprit had already gone away, so she had to touch the tea cup under her hand fiercely, which frightened the maids waiting on the side to tremble.

Fang just heard the angry voice of the Queen Mother from that side: "What a Chu Nian, it's really unparalleled, and people can't find the slightest fault!" ”

A silver figure walked out from behind the curtain not far away, his eyes flashed slightly in the direction of Chu Nian's departure, and he comforted absentmindedly: "The Queen Mother is not angry, and look at which way Chu Nian will go next, we will find an opportunity to teach her a good lesson." ”

……

At the same time, after leaving Cining Palace, Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, after not seeing him for a while, the inexplicable oppression on Dark Rin's body became more and more obvious, and Chu Nian even suspected for a while that he actually couldn't beat Dark Rin at all.

Moreover, Dark Rin also has one of the biggest hole cards - not losing to the illusion strength of a Qinghe branch master.

Chu Nian didn't think that if her half-illusion confronted Dark Rin again, she would be able to escape from the illusion set up by Dark Rin.

After sorting out his mood, Chu Nian walked towards the upper study, and on the side of the upper study, Ming Xiu had already said hello, just waiting for Chu Nian to say a word, the emperor could approve Chu Nian's recital, and told Chu Nian to set off as soon as possible.

Ming Xiu's methods were vigorous and resolute, and the emperor over there had just approved Chu Nian's request, and the team was ready.

Li Langzhong of the Officials Department, Chen Wailang of the Seal Inspection Division, and even the two officials in the palace knew that the officials and their entourage were walking with the two adults, and they didn't dare to say a word, for fear that these two adults would simply join them in front of the prince, although they were all petty officials, but in terms of the professionalism of the officials, it was enough to deal with a few corrupt officials.

Ming Xiu originally planned to simply invite the official secretary to come out, but was stopped by Chu Nian, for fear that the official secretary would feel that the crown prince Ming Xiu's wings would swell when he was only slightly plump.

In addition to the officials and his party, Prince Ming Xiu was still not at ease, and sent hundreds of more Imperial Forest Army to be managed by him, and Shengsheng expanded the lineup of only a few people from Chu Nian to a few hundred.

These hundreds of people were led out of the city by Chu Nian, and almost all the people in the city knew that the Wushuang County Master had gone to investigate the corrupt officials thoroughly.

Chu Nian's black line along the way, until the Imperial Forest Army felt that their goal was too big, and silently distanced themselves from Chu Nian and the others, and it got better.

There is not much distance from Kyoto to Huaibei, and the group traveled day and night under the leadership of Chu Nian, but they arrived at the border of Huaibei in two days.

But when he arrived at the Huaibei border of Weiyang City, Chu Nian ordered a group of officials to stop, took out a few simple clothes from the baggage of the secret guards, and ordered several officials to put them on, and several officials looked at each other, and it was only then that they knew what was in the carriage with several large boxes that followed at the end of the road - it was some goods prepared by Chu Nian in advance, as well as passes, and the Wushuang County Lord was preparing for a private visit to Weifu this time.

Therefore, the adults had to change into a family's clothes in Chu Nian's meaningful gaze, and reluctantly dropped the horses that were originally traveling under their crotches, and pulled a cart of goods towards the city gate with hard work.

It's no wonder that Chu Nian despises it, these officials look at each strong person, a cart of goods, five or six people, six miles away, and they have been pulling for more than half an hour, it is not as fast as a few secret guards, if they are replaced by a few secret guards, I am afraid that they will have already arrived in the city.

Thinking of this, Chu Nian couldn't help but sigh that Ming Xiu had done more, if it weren't for these few cumbersome, she wouldn't have to prepare so many goods, she would be able to blend into the city directly by pretending to be a rich lady who was playing, so many people, not to mention that the cart couldn't be pulled, the target was still big, and it was hard to guarantee that the target she was going to check wouldn't be suspicious.

I only pity these adults, if they know that they are so useless in the heart of the Wushuang County Lord, I am afraid that they will cry to the sky.

When they reached the city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers defending the city.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, Chu Nian is sitting in the car, her role is the daughter of a businessman's family, and she goes out to deliver goods instead of her father.

Hearing the interrogation of the guards guarding the city about several "family members", Chu Niancai opened the curtain with his bare hands, and looked at the soldiers defending the city in front of him with a pair of beautiful eyes without blinking, "My lord, we are merchants and have passes." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Langzhong on the side, Li Langzhong immediately understood, and quickly entered the role, only to see him take out the document from his arms, and then stepped forward with a dog-legged smile and handed the document to the hands of the soldiers guarding the city.

"Look, my lord, this is our paperwork."

The soldier guarding the city glanced at Li Langzhong up and down, took the document in his hand into his arms, and turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian, seeing Chu Nian's carriage that seemed to be extremely rich, his eyes lit up, and he said: "I have to hand over this document to our head for a look, you get out of the city gate first, wait for a while." ”

So saying, he turned and galloped into the city, as if to find someone.

Chu Nian's eyes lit up, it seemed that this big fish had been hooked.

The soldier who defended the city had been there for a long time, and it was not until the group was bored waiting under the scorching sun that he returned with a strong man in armor.
