It's getting late.

Snow is falling.

Chen Yuzhong, the county lieutenant of Qichi County, arrived at Qichi County with the fourth princess Ning Chuchu and his party.

This news had already been sent to the desk of Zhang Debao, the county magistrate, and he had already stood outside the north gate of Qichi County with the third class of officials of Qichi County.

has worked with county lieutenant Chen Yuzhong for many years, and of course he has understood Chen Yuzhong's intentions-

Qichi County did not meet the female bandits in Jiangbei, but met the honor guard of the four princesses who came to Jiangnan to play.

Of course, there is no need to fight this battle, even if it reaches the ears of Song Shiming, the governor of the capital, he can't blame himself!

There was no blatant rebellion, and of course she had to be respectful to Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess of Ningguo.

Of course, after this stay, you still have to send this god away as soon as possible.

Zhang Debao personally came to greet the honor guard of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, and at the same time, he also sent someone to Pingjiang City quickly.

This matter must be known to the Grand Duke.

The Governor of the Metropolitan knows, and the Lord of Futai also knows.

As for their attitude towards Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess...... It was a fight between the gods, and it had nothing to do with his small county order.

As for whether this fourth princess is true or not...... He is a small county order, but he has not seen the true face of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, but since people are under the banner of the Fourth Princess, of course, she can only be entertained according to the fact that she is really the Fourth Princess.

So, under the greeting of Zhang Debao and others, Ning Chuchu's team really entered Qichi County.

The county government is too small to fit these five hundred people.

Fortunately, the county school has not yet opened, so except for a few of them in Kaiyang, the rest of them have lived in the county school.

Ning Chuchu took the six people of Kaiyang to the county government with Zhang Debao.

The backyard of the county government has long been vacated, and all the items have been replaced with new ones.

Even the charcoal fire in the house is new.

Zhang Debao summoned his subordinates and really fulfilled his friendship as a landlord.

Ning Chuchu is really tired these days, and she did not refuse Zhang Debao's flattery.

Under the service of the paper kite, she took a comfortable hot bath and changed into the princess clothes brought in the package.

When she stood in front of Zhang Debao and Chen Yuzhong again, she was already new, and she was like two people just now!

There was no trace of the female bandit in her body.

She seemed very dignified.

It's very graceful and luxurious.

Zhang Debao chuckled in his heart, with this bearing alone, he firmly believed that this girl must be the fourth princess who was fake.

He and Chen Yuzhong knelt down with a puff.

"Minister, Zhang Debao, Chen Yuzhong, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

This is a formal reception.

This is also the fear of imperial power in the hearts of the two -

Even though the emperor is gone, the reverence for the royal family rooted in their hearts still exists.

Ning Chuchu sat on the chair, raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and said softly: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!"

The two stood up and no longer dared to raise their heads to look at Ning Chuchu.

"Your names have been memorized by this palace."

"When the palace returns to the palace, there will be a reward for you."

"Hongu is hungry, and they are hungry too...... You two go and get some food...... It doesn't have to be too delicate, it just fills your stomach. ”

Zhang Debao hurriedly bowed and said humbly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the minister has arranged for the cook of Baiweixuan to cook a meal, and if you want to come, you can send it quickly." ”

His body bowed lower, and he said: "Qichi County is a small place, and there can only be some coarse tea and light rice, which is far from the food in the palace. ”

"The minister is very frightened, if it is not to His Royal Highness's taste...... Please also ask for your bearing. ”

Ning Chuchu glanced at Zhang Debao, turned around and took the teacup from the table next to him, lifted the lid bowl and gently scraped it on the edge of the cup, and said:

"Hongu won't blame you, but Hongu wants to know something."

“…… Your Highness, please ask, minister, know everything! ”

Ning Chuchu took a sip, this tea tastes good.

"In Jiangbei Prefecture, 1,000 officers and soldiers from each of the five counties and counties are escorting hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass to cross the river."

Zhang Debao sighed in his heart, and then listened to Ning Chuchu and said:

"It looked like it was going to be a war."

Ning Chuchu put the teacup on the table, and raised his eyebrows: "This palace is a little puzzled, if there is really a war, the land south of the Yangtze River is rich, and the front line needs to be supported with grain and grass, shouldn't this also be sent to the frontier of Ning Kingdom?" ”

"How did you send it to this hinterland in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Could it be this land south of the Yangtze River...... And there's a big war going on? ”

As soon as he asked this, Zhang Debao's face turned white.

He thought to himself that you had killed all those officers and soldiers, and that you had also looted and sold so much grain and grass, and turned it into a silver ticket and put it in your own pocket.

What's the big deal in Jiangnan, don't you know yet?

Since you know, but you ask again, then the meaning is different.

You can't betray the Metropolitan Governor, you can only pretend to be crazy and stupid.

Zhang Debao Chi showed an extremely surprised expression:

"This is what Your Highness said...... Among the eight counties in Pingjiang Prefecture, Qichi County is the farthest and poorest from Pingjiang City...... Therefore, His Highness has not heard of this matter. ”

"But...... If there were officers and soldiers in Jiangbei Prefecture escorting grain and grass across the river, this might be sending grain to Pingjiang City. ”

"Now that the regent has just taken charge, I heard that the treasury is empty, and since Jiangnan Province is the richest place in Ningguo, it has also been favored by the emperor over the years."

"Now that the country is suffering, I guess Lord Yu is sending food to Kyoto to share the regent's worries, right?"

Ning Chuchu laughed.

She didn't pursue anything further.

"So, there was a slight misunderstanding in this palace."

"Yu Daotai has a heart, and after the palace returns to the palace, he will tell the regent, and now there is a shortage of talents in the court, and it is not good to say that the regent will transfer him to Kyoto to be a squire or something."

"Go down."

"Hongu is tired."

"When the food is ready, just ask someone to bring it in."

Zhang Debao and Chen Yuzhong glanced at each other, and the two bowed down and retreated.

Kaiyang looked at their backs and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you want to slaughter them?" ”

Ning Chuchu shook his head, "Tell all the sisters, eat a good meal, sleep well, and ...... tomorrow morning." Let's go! ”

County Officials' Office.

Zhang Debao and Chen Yuzhong sat at the tea table.

Zhang Debao took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped his face.

"Your Highness, it's not easy!"

Chen Yuzhong nodded, "Knowingly asking, I'm afraid the intention is to scare the snake by beating the grass, but fortunately, the adults are thinking about Zhou Xiang!" ”

"She obviously knows about the changes in Gangnam Province, my lord......"

Chen Yuzhong leaned over, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes: "Lord Yu and Governor Song, as well as almost all the officials in our Jiangnan Province officialdom, don't want to die!" ”

"This matter has already been done, and it must be impossible to hide it after so many officers and soldiers have been mobilized...... But I didn't hear the news of the regent's return to Kyoto! ”

"My lord, there's something not good about this!"

Zhang Debao was taken aback, and he also leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean...... The regent is already ready? ”

Chen Yuzhong nodded: "The lower officials feel that Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess appeared in Jiangbei Prefecture and accurately intercepted the grain and grass of the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Route...... I'm afraid this is not an accident, but a harbinger that the regent is going to design against our Jiangnan Province! ”

"That'...... Drug the four princesses and kill them? ”

"No! Never! ”

"Your Excellency...... Xia Guan has a heartfelt remark, I don't know if I should say it or not? ”

"You and I have worked together for many years and know each other well, so what else should I not talk about? Let's hear it. ”

Chen Yuzhong's voice was lowered:

"My lord, the lower officials feel that this is the last moment to find a way back for ourselves!"

"How?"

"Take refuge in this princess!"

“…… What qualifications do we have to be taken care of by Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

"Sell her a message."

"What's the news?"

"News from Zhouzhuang!"

"......" Zhang Debao sat up straight suddenly, and his eyes widened suddenly.
