Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Return
Two days later, Qi Rusong had just returned from cultivating in the [Void Realm] when he heard a rapid knock on the door.
"Lord, lord, I found him." Su Mo shouted outside the door.
He immediately got up, "Is that surnamed Feng?" Where did you find him? ”
pushed open the door, but saw Su Mo's eyes full of guilt.
"It's my companion," she said, "but... ”
"But what?" Qi Rusong said, "Where is he, take me quickly!" ”
"Lord Wang, I'm sorry," Su Mo said as he returned the previous fifty taels of silver to him, "That Lord Feng... It was taken away by the people of the second prince, and now it should be at the second prince's place! ”
"It's fast!" Qi Rusong strode towards the door. "Prepare a horse for me, and I will go to the second prince immediately. and the white shall be said by them to be black. ”
He walked briskly down the stairs, his cultivation in the [Void Realm] had made him too tired, but now he was furious, and his whole body was full of strength.
Ride a war horse and come to the second prince's mansion. The guards seemed to know that he was coming, and hurriedly beckoned him in.
Someone called out to him when he walked through the courtyard, but Qi Rusong was in a hurry and didn't have time to pay attention to it. He wanted to take a step forward, but no matter how he said it, he was always the king of the south, and the prince had to maintain a certain dignity to some extent.
The residence of the second prince is very simple, located in the southeast of Zhongzhou City, only a ride of incense from the palace.
Following the servant to the hall, he found that Gu Yang and the officials of Zhongzhou City had been waiting here for a long time.
"Rusong, you came just in time," Seeing Qi Rusong, Gu Yang hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for him to step forward.
Lord Feng stood in the center of the hall, and the two royal guards beside him supported him.
"Your Highness, is this...?"
"Hmph, I want to talk about you. There are human traffickers in my Middle Continent City, and you didn't come to tell me. "Guyang Road.
"The evidence is insufficient, don't dare to act rashly!"
Hearing this, Gu Yang moved. "Then it's better for you to hear this trial again and end this matter as soon as possible."
After Qi Rusong found a place to sit down, the second prince began to ask, "Are you guilty?" Lord Feng! ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, the villain is guilty, the villain is obsessed with money, and commits the crime of human trafficking." Lord Feng said his guilt as if he was reciting, "For his own selfishness, he also wronged innocent civilians as crossing demons and insulted your lords." "Hmph, count you as acquaintances!" Gu Yang said, "Master Li, what crime should this person be guilty of?" ”
"It should be asked!"
"Drag it off! Decapitate immediately! Gu Yang announced.
That's it? Qi Rusong couldn't help but gasp.
Who is the seller? How to privately determine the identity of the [Crossing Demon] without going through the Demon Hunting Gate? And how to send these innocent people to the [jousting conference]? How can this Lord Feng alone operate such a huge industrial chain?
Who are the other accomplices and how to deal with them!
And... Why is such a simple judgment waiting for me! Just to show me?
He glanced at everyone in the hall, and suddenly, he had a bold guess that these people had nothing to do with this Lord Feng!
"Your Highness, this matter is not so simple, right?" He couldn't help but question.
"That's enough, that's the end of it!" Gu Yang said sharply, "The others dispersed first, and I have other things to discuss with Prince Qi." ”
Everyone left, and at this time, Qi Rusong was already dissatisfied with the second prince in front of him.
"What, what's not satisfied?" Gu Yang asked him.
"Why is it so hasty?"
"Heavens," Gu Yang cursed, "Rusong, what do you want me to do?" Track it down? You thought you were the first to spot something like this? You know how much is involved! ”
Since I have known it for a long time, I actually indulge it!
"I don't know! The minister only knows that those are my people of Great Xia. ”
"I need these ministers to help me take the throne, not commoners." Gu Yang said, "I don't want to spend more time on this matter!" Right now, I have something you need to do. ”
Speaking of which, Qi Rusong was completely disappointed.
"What?"
"At the beginning of next month, Yue'er will be back." Gu Yang said, "My father asked me to pick up the wind for her, but I had important things to do in those days, so you went for me." ”
"Me?" Looking at Gu Yang in a daze, "It's not suitable, right?" ”
"What's wrong, she's ruling the southern border on your behalf, you shouldn't ask her about the government affairs of the southern border these days?"
He really wanted to ask Gu Yang, is this the last bet? But when the words reached his throat, he couldn't say them for a long time.
"Yes!" Eventually, he replied.
Gu Yang was about to leave, and Qi Rusong reminded, "The girl I saved, she mentioned a big man wearing a mask. ”
The second prince stopped, turned around and frowned, "That big man can't even mess with me!" ”
You know everything! "Is he really the one?"
Gu Yang's face sank, "What is the purpose of his training of these [mice]?" Who will benefit the most? ”
Great Xia Emperor! There is no doubt that the Lord is the Prime Minister!
Gu Yang was no longer in the mood to continue, "Rusong, I am here today, I have other official duties to be busy. You go back and prepare first, it's hard for my royal sister to have a good impression of a man. ”
Qi Rusong looked at Gu Yang, then took heavy steps and turned to leave without saying a word. There was a dead silence in the hall.
~~~~~ dividing line ~~~
On this day, Gu Lingsheng appeared outside Zhongzhou City with a team, and Qi Rusong had been waiting for a long time.
Today's princess of the Great Xia Kingdom wears a red fur cloak with embroidered green clothes inside, and delicate hairpins appear on her black hair, which looks particularly charming.
Last time, she didn't bring any jewelry, let alone makeup!
She came to Qi Rusong's side, "Have you been waiting for a long time?" ”
"You know I'm going to pick you up?"
"I know my father and brother too well to guess that they would send you." Gu Lingsheng observed him as he spoke, "You really should dress up well, how can you say that I am also the princess of the Great Xia Kingdom." ”
Qi Rusong felt a little embarrassed, he thought about it and hesitated whether he should wear armor or a dress, and finally he chose the former.
"It's rude, Your Highness Princess, please!"
The two rode side by side, but Middle-earth City was no different from the usual. It seems that except for Qi Rusong, no one else knows about the return of Princess Daxia.
Gu Lingsheng was used to such a scene, and her attention seemed to be on the king of the southern realm.
"How's it going?" She asked. "Have you seen Old Man Ye?"
"I saw it, and I saw countless poor civilians."
"This problem has not been resolved? The funds for the rescue of civilians have been swallowed up by this group of rats! Gu Lingsheng's mouth tightened.
"It's so intertwined that it's easier said than done to solve it completely!"
"You learned from them, too?" Gu Lingsheng said, "These are all words to shirk responsibility, eat the king's lu, be loyal to the king's affairs, bear the king's worries, why be afraid!! What's more, some people are still members of the Great Xia royal family.
This time, I'm going to find out all of them and catch them all! ”
"But you..."
"I am the princess of the Great Xia Kingdom, the inheritor of the Gu clan's spiritual power! Why, you look down on me too? ”
Qi Rusong looked at her for a long time, and he now understood why Ye Lao would support her to inherit the throne of Great Xia.
She suffered from the neglect of her father and brother and the people around her, but she cared about the people and was not afraid of power.
"I will support you," Qi Rusong said, "If you need my help, just ask." ”
"You?" Gu Lingsheng sneered, "You take care of yourself." ”
As she spoke, she pointed behind her. He understood that since he came to Middle-earth City, he had been under surveillance.
"Let's talk about Lingnan City," Qi Rusong said, "Those people under my command didn't cause you trouble." ”
"Trouble? There is no such thing. If I could, I'd like to stay in the South. Gu Lingsheng laughed, "The climate is suitable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a prosperous scene." ”
"I believe you are serious, why don't I give an excerpt to the Emperor of Great Xia and let you continue to act as the ruler."
"I don't dare to overstep my bounds," she said, handing Qi Rusong a letter, "Your wife asked me to give it to you." Don't worry, I didn't peek! ”
He took the letter, "Is she okay?" ”
"I can eat and sleep, and my health is fine." Gu Lingsheng smiled, "She asked when you would go back, I couldn't tell her clearly, I could only tell her that you had a good relationship in Zhongzhou City, and you couldn't go back for a while." ”
Qi Rusong pursed his lips a little unhappily and said, "You really said that?" Who am I friends with? ”
"She also asked me the same, and then the one named Shi Snake replied to her, and the good friend in my mouth must be He Xiao."
"God, you have to scare me like this!"
Gu Lingsheng laughed again, "Then again, there is one aspect of your southern border that is lacking. She said, "The army, the number of troops in the south is too small, you should worry about it." ”
"Why do you need so many troops in wartime?" Qi Rusong said, "Second, the military and peasants in my southern border are not separated. He worked as a farmer in his spare time and as a soldier in wartime. ”
"But such an army is not high in combat, and it is not ruling the world now, so you can do it yourself."
Qi Rusong frowned, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll take care of it." ”
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of the palace. According to convention, Qi Rusong can only be sent here.
Next, Gu Lingsheng wanted to report his political achievements during this period to Emperor Daxia. She rolled over and dismounted, "There's one more thing I forgot to tell you." She said, "The prime minister has already left Zhongzhou City, and once passed through the southern border, and found you the deputy master of the demon hunting gate Marven in the southern border. ”
Qi Rusong looked surprised, "What is he looking for Lord Marven?" ”
"I don't have that many [mice] to do things for me," she said, "and I'm sure it has something to do with the last Southern Plague." ”
"How can you be sure?"
"He came to ask me, asked me if you talked to me about it!"
"How do you answer?"
Gu Lingsheng brushed the hair from his cheeks, "I told him that you have told me all the reasons, and if you want to get information from my mouth, you need to exchange other messages." ”
Qi Rusong grinned, "Then the last...?"
"He revealed to me the secret of the Master of the Ye Sect!" She leaned into Qi Rusong's ear, "Old Man Ye is looking for the fragments of the legendary ancient artifact!" ”
He looked at Gu Lingsheng in front of him in shock.
Princess Daxia continued, "Ye Lao is on his way to the [Ancient God Ruins] south of the Bleak Desert!"
Ruins of the Ancient Gods!!
