After she was free, Shen Ling began to arrange the aftermath, although she had cured the plague here, she didn't want people to publicize it.

The locust plague in Yancheng was eye-catching enough before, and this time the plague was spreading to the capital, so she didn't want to live in peace.

So one night, Shen Ling broke into the city lord's room with Jing Xi.

The lord of the city lay flat on the bed, snoring loudly, and his fat belly was like a small mountain holding up a large quilt.

Seeing that the person didn't wake up, Shen Ling sighed and stepped forward to push the city lord.

"Wake up."

After being pushed twice like this, the city lord opened his eyes, and when he first woke up, he was still confused.

Seeing the city lord's confused eyes, Jing Ci simply stepped forward and drew his sword and laid it across the city lord's neck.

The cold touch of the weapon came from the neck of the city lord, and the city lord suddenly sobered up.

He swallowed his saliva and spoke, "Country...... Nation of ...... Teacher, what do you want to do?"

Shen Ling played with her fingers, "It's nothing, I just want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter, there's something to say, let's put the sword away first." As he spoke, the city lord tentatively moved his neck to the side, trying to distance himself from the sharp blade.

Jing Ci originally did this just to make the city lord sober up, but when he saw the city lord hiding to the side, he simply put the sword back.

The city lord breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled at the two of them flatteringly, "County Lord, National Teacher, what are you looking for this city lord?"

Shen Ling sat at the table, propped his chin to look at the city lord, and said leisurely, "I just want you to block the news of my treatment of the plague this time."

The lord of the castle was a little puzzled, "Why? Isn't that a good thing?"

"You don't need to know so much, if someone from the outer city asks how the plague was solved, you just need to tell him about Qimen's visit, and you are the city lord here, so it won't be difficult for you to block the news in the city."

"It's not difficult...... the lord said, his eyes rolling rapidly in his sockets, thinking about how to get some benefit from this matter.

Jing Ci has never seen any kind of person in Kyoto, and he can see it at a glance as far as the city lord's careful thinking is concerned.

He deliberately drew his long sword and played with it in his hand, and said intimidatingly, "City Lord, the national division and the county lord are not here to discuss with you, you just need to deal with this matter, understand?"

The city lord was successfully frightened by Jing Xi and didn't dare to think carefully.

"Ming ...... Understood."

"Hmm." After answering, Jing Xi put away his long sword.

He raised his eyes, which were even colder in the moonlight, "If you let your country hear the slightest rumor leaking outside, don't want your head."

The sound of the hilt of the sword touching the scabbard made the city lord's heart tremble, and before he knew it, he was already in a cold sweat.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and admitted, "Don't worry, the national teacher, this city lord will definitely take care of this matter."

Shen Ling and Jing Ci saw that the threat was almost over, so they withdrew their hands and left.

After settling the matter on the city lord's side, Shen Ling and the others were ready to get back on the road.

Sitting in the carriage, Jing Xi asked Shen Ling, "Have you figured out where you are going at the next stop?"

Shen Ling thought for a moment, thinking of the forces in the rivers and lakes that she had never come into contact with, and asked rhetorically, "I want to go to a place where there are many forces in the rivers and lakes, do you know where it is?"

Jing Ci himself has forces in the rivers and lakes under his hands, and he only thought about Shen Ling's question and gave the answer.

"Let's go to Yangcheng, where there are many sects and intricate forces, and because of this, the government is not easy to manage, and it is a place beyond the reach of the Holy Lord."

Shen Ling's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, if it was really a place where even the emperor was not easy to start, then she could form her own forces there.

She immediately decided, "Okay, let's go to Yangcheng!"

Seeing her excited appearance, Jing Xi smiled.

He lifted the curtain of his car and rushed to Xi Jiandao, who was riding a horse outside the door, "Did you hear that? Madame said that when you go to Yangcheng, you can go."

Xi Jian received the order and waved his horsewhip, "Okay, go to Yangcheng!"

There were several carriages behind him, and they all followed.

The journey to Yangcheng is not too close, but it is not too far, but Jing Xi feels sorry for Shen Ling and doesn't want her to be tired on the road, so she often stops and rests.

In the process of hurrying, Zeng Weimin didn't dare to go to Shen Ling's side all the way in order to prevent Jing Ci from discovering his identity as an old minister of the former dynasty, and Shen Ling was happy.

traveled all the way with Jingci, and the place that could have been reached in five days was dragged by them for half a month.

After entering the city, everyone found an inn to settle in, but when they didn't know it, they already had a pair of eyes that secretly looked at everyone's actions.

Wan Yaoyao was very peaceful along the way, but when she arrived in a new place, the fox tail that had been hidden for a long time was finally exposed.

Seeing that Shen Ling and Jing Ci were obviously husband and wife, but they wanted to sleep in separate rooms, Wan Yaoyao's abacus crackled, and she knocked on Jing Ci's door that night.

Jing Xi opened the door and saw Wan Yaoyao, even if he wanted to close the door.

Wan Yaoyao didn't expect Jing Ci to not even want to listen to her, her face was a little ugly, and she blocked Jing Ci's action of closing the door.

Jing Ci frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Wan Yaoyao suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and Chong Jingci showed a pure smile, "This is not the place to speak, why don't you let me in and talk?"

In order to see the scene tonight, Wan Yaoyao also dressed up specially.

Wearing her favorite white dress, jet-black hair, a simple magnolia hairpin, and her innocent smile, she looks harmless and innocent.

It's a pity that Jing Ci didn't eat her at all, his face was cold and hard, and he didn't mean to open the door and let him in.

"That's it."

The corner of Wan Yaoyao's mouth stiffened, "I'm afraid it's not good to say it here......

Jing Xi had no intention of wrestling with Wan Yaoyao here, and his subordinates tried to close the door with all their might.

Wan Yaoyao hurriedly stopped, "I'm here to talk to the national teacher about the county lord, don't close the door, national teacher."

Hearing Shen Ling's name, Jing Xi retracted his strength and motioned to Wan Yaoyao with his eyes to continue.

Wan Yaoyao was afraid that Jing Ci would close the door again, and she didn't have the heart to deal with Jing Ci.

"The county lord punishes evil and promotes good all the way, and has a high reputation among the people," thinking of Zeng Weimin, Wan Yaoyao continued: "And I can see that she not only wants to be the county lord, she wants to destroy this dynasty, such a wolf ambition, sooner or later it will affect the national teacher, the national teacher might as well stay away from her, she ......."

Jing Xi's face became more and more ugly with Wan Yaoyao's words, he shouldn't waste time here listening to Wan Yaoyao say bad things about Shen Ling.

Seeing that Wan Yaoyao's hand was still on her door, Jing Ci simply kicked the person open and slammed the door shut.
