Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Hunt
Several people got up early in the morning, and the group traveled lightly. Two carriages, Wan Qiyu and they are in front of the deliberations and handling government affairs. Allure followed by Mo Mei Mo Lan, and enjoyed the scenery along the way. Bluestone rode in front, Aoki in the back, and more than a dozen Tsing Yi guards accompanied both sides to protect the safety of the people in the car. After leaving the imperial city and passing through Cangwu County, the group entered the official road.
After four days, he could reach the border of Jiangnan. However, it was late in the morning, and it was not appropriate to hurry again, so it was decided to set up camp, and the city walked into the first carriage, and Wan Qiyu hugged the beauty. "Say no, I won't let you come, now I'm going to suffer." He didn't realize anything as a man, but after all, the carriage had limited space, and he couldn't sleep comfortably.
"It's not bitter, with His Royal Highness, even if you live the days of male farming and female weaving, the concubine is willing." Besides, this carriage is already very luxurious, and she is not really a delicate woman, so this bit of suffering is nothing.
"You, the main hall guards you, and if you are sleepy, you will sleep first." Taking her into his arms, Wan Qiyu still looked at the official document in his hand.
In the early hours of the morning, Allure slept in a daze and smelled an unnatural fragrance. In addition, I didn't sleep well, and I opened my eyes violently.
"What's wrong?" Wan Qiyu thought she was having a nightmare, so she hurriedly threw down the official document in her hand and hugged the person tightly.
"Your Highness, have you ever smelled an unusual scent? It seems to have the effect of fascinating the gods. Allure took another sharp breath, and instantly felt dizzy.
Wan Qiyu immediately covered her mouth and nose. "Qingshi, give the order, everyone cover their mouths and noses and hide." Wan Qiyu pulled the little woman in his arms out of the carriage.
Allure was instantly awakened by his action. This is a fascination incense, and covering your mouth and nose doesn't do much. Thinking of the houttuynia in the space, Allure pushed Wan Qiyu away, and took out some from the space. "Your Highness, quick, let them all take some. This is a magic incense, and it won't be of much use to cover your mouth and nose. ”
Mo Mei Mo Lan also got out of the carriage, walked to Allure's side, took Houttuynia cordata and sent it to the guards of Tsing Yi Wei. The crowd took Houttuynia cordata and hid in the bushes. Wan Qiyu hugged Allure, tiptoed, and flew directly to the middle of the tree. Fortunately, this tree is strong enough to hide their figures.
"Anything else? Give the main hall a little. Wan Qiyu didn't ask her about the source of Houttuynia cordata, after all, it wasn't the first time he had seen Allure take something out of thin air.
"Your Highness doesn't use it, Your Highness has a sachet prepared by the concubine, which can receive ten thousand poisons, and Your Highness forgot?" Allure smiled at Wan Qiyu. I don't know why she can judge the variety of the drug and the ingredients of the antidote just by the strange fragrance just now. Could it be that she has hidden other functions?
Wan Qiyu took out the sachet from the placket, "That's what Jiaojiao said. Wan Qiyu said with a smile. The little woman was really beyond his expectations, they didn't smell it, and the person she was asleep felt it first. Anyway, it's his people.
"Look, is it right for His Highness to bring out his concubine?" Allure raised her head proudly, and saw that she was not a burden, she wanted to fight side by side with him.
"Yes, yes, Jiaojiao is the lucky star of this temple." Scratched the wing of her nose.
Sure enough, after a while, the smell became stronger and stronger. After a short while, a group of men in black came running from a distance, getting closer and closer. "Big brother, with such heavy material, they must have been tricked. This mission is accomplished, and our brothers can wash our hands of gold and start a family. A little brother said arrogantly.
"When this mission is completed, the eldest brother will definitely find a few beautiful wives and concubines for you, and spread the branches for you." The big brother laughed.
"Big, big, no, no, no ......"
"Stinky boy, it's nothing, you said it!" The man in black who spoke for the first time walked over and slapped the little brother on the head.
"Nobody, they're gone." The younger brother was smart this time, and he finished speaking in one breath. The man in black unbelievingly opened the carriage again, opened the tent, and really, there was no one.
"How so? The man said that the incense was newly developed by him. Even if they find that covering their mouth and nose will get tricked. The big brother ran up in disbelief.
"Kill-" Qingshi gave an order, and the Tsing Yi guards rushed out of the shadows and surrounded the man in black.
"How so? Are you all right? The men in black were only suspicious at first, but now they see the boss who surrounds themselves with their mouths open.
"Tell me who is behind the Lord and spare you from death." Aoki took out his sword and pointed it at the boss of the man in black.
In the middle of a large tree. "Who does Your Highness think sent someone?" Allure was a little puzzled, the quality of this group of black-clothed people was far from being like a professional killer. It's like a ruffian, a copycat bandit.
"Who does Jiaojiao think is it?"
"The concubine doesn't feel like it's the handiwork of Shengjing." In the current situation, if something happened to Wan Qiyu, the first person to suspect would be the eldest prince. They're not going to make a move at this juncture.
"Jiaojiao is really smart." Wan Qiyu looked down at her bright little face. "But it doesn't have to be, but it's not what those two mean, it should be someone who was robbed." The Three Emperor Brothers are not here, and the Five Emperor Brothers are the most suspicious.
Below, the two sides have been inseparable. Those people are not like authentic killers, but they are also very skilled.
Aoki joined forces to deal with the big brother, and the two of them attacked the plate one and the other. Cooperate with each other, and it didn't take long to take down the man. "Say, who's behind it?" Aoki kicked him under a tree. Flew over and stomped on his chest, slashing his sword at his neck.
"Today is that our skills are not as good as others, and there are rules for those who do our job. If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and insisted.
"Aoki, the rest of the people killed and let him go." Wan Qiyu flew down from the tree with Allure in his arms. He glanced at the black-clothed men on the ground.
"Your Highness?" Qingshi was puzzled, His Royal Highness was not a benevolent person, and the killers were not all eliminated that time, why did he let him live this time? Although puzzled, the two still let go of his confinement. "Let's go, why don't you get out of here? Otherwise, we will regret it in a while, and you will die. Qingshi kicked him and walked over to Wan Qiyu.
"Your Highness, this is to deter the people behind him? They said that this magic incense was newly developed, but His Highness and his party were unharmed. This assassination was already a surprise to the snake, presumably, they will not send people again. Jiaojiao glanced at Wan Qiyu, this person is really ruthless, this person will only die when he goes back, and he will be killed by the so-called own people, which is much more ruthless than dying in their hands.
Wan Qiyu raised his eyebrows, this little woman could see her purpose clearly, which really surprised him. It seems that it is a good thing to bring her out this time.
was disturbed, Wan Qiyu didn't stop here, and planned to hurry to the next station to rest for a day before hurrying.
On the carriage, Allure was drowsy, tired of Wan Qiyu. "Your Highness~ You can also squint, it's not good for your health to stay awake all night." Seeing that he was reading the official document again, Allure snatched the official document in his hand and put it aside. "This official document can't be read, anyway, it's all trivial things, Your Highness must cultivate his spirit in order to redress the grievances of the people." Knowing that he was upset, this was not a few days away from Suzhou and Hangzhou. He also said that the officials in Suzhou and Hangzhou protect each other, levy Yao taxes, and the people live on crops, and they have to hand over more than half to the state, and now they have to increase. The key is that their officials levied it privately, and the imperial court did not have such a will.
"What does Jiaojiao think of the current world?"
"Kangping is prosperous, but it is only on the surface, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the country and the people are safe. But this remote place is far from so. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and those officials are naturally the biggest. However, this officialdom has ups and downs, and the relationship is complicated. Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. The human heart is often dominated by desire. Over time, those were no longer satisfied. However, what they should not have is to oppress the people. "Allure hates those corrupt officials the most. The hearts of the people are not enough to swallow the elephant, and the people are still suffering.
"Can that Jiaojiao be carried away by lust rights?" Wan Qiyu couldn't help asking, he thought she was just a little smart, but now it seems that his Jiaojiao also has a delicate heart.
"No, the concubine is a woman, and this right is what the men of His Highness should yearn for. The concubine yearns for the two of them, Qin Se and Ming, and they carry the white head. Allure secretly rolled her eyes, testing herself, hum, she didn't like the supreme power. The heights are unbearable, and the people who benefit are often the loneliest.
Wan Qiyu hugged her, and her words made her inexplicably happy. It turned out that he would also be afraid, afraid that her eyes would no longer be clear, afraid that she would be lost by desire. I'm afraid that she will be like those women, calculating herself for that cold right.
"A gentleman loves power and takes it in the right way. But as the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Self-cultivation and family rule the country and level the world, men should have a desire for power. However, the concubine believes that His Royal Highness will be a holy monarch, and this great Chu will only prosper for thousands of years if it is handed over to His Highness. Allure raised his head, looked at Wan Qiyu, and directly said what he was thinking.
Her rebellious words did not anger Wan Qiyu, on the contrary, he was very happy with her honesty. He didn't mind showing his ambition in front of her.
"So, Your Highness, the corrupt officials in this world can't be killed, Your Highness might as well rest. Perhaps, when the day dawns, there will be a relative solution. Allure nestled in his arms and said sullenly.
They dare to be so greedy, it is nothing more than that the law of Great Chu does not punish this corrupt official severely. remembered that she was reading history books at that time, and Emperor Yongzheng found that one person was greedy, and directly raided his house and exterminated the nine clans, causing them to be greedy and not have the courage.
It seems that I have to remind him in a timely manner, after all, someone has implemented it, and there are remarkable results.
