"Why are you here?"

Lian Jinchen subconsciously pulled Qi Mingyue away, and his eyebrows were twisted.

He even hurriedly glanced behind Qi Mingyue, and after seeing Qi Guogong, he breathed a sigh of relief.

For the sake of disaster relief, he hasn't slept a whole sleep these days, especially these days, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is overwhelmed, the money and food for disaster relief are delayed for a day, and the situation in Lingzhou is chaotic for a day, and I don't know how many people will die here.

He had fought battles and seen bloody battlefields, but this was the first time he had seen the tragic situation of those innocent people under the disaster.

He was afraid that something would go wrong in the middle, and he would be to blame for his death.

Originally, on the way to Lingzhou, he and King Ning secretly had a little idea of competing with each other, but after arriving in Lingzhou, in the face of the current situation in Lingzhou, they didn't talk about the competition, and they worked together for fear that they would not get things done well, and they would not be able to end the game when the time came.

King Ning was worse than him, there was not enough money and food, he took the officials of the household department day and night to find a way to keep accounts and raise money and food, and he ate and lived in the government office.

At this time, he doesn't have to say anything about the love between children and daughters, and he doesn't even have time to clean it up himself.

"Brother Chen," Qi Mingyue looked at Lian Jinchen's attitude, and her eyes were red.

"Cough," Qi Heng, the Duke of Qi Guo who came over, was also a little embarrassed when he saw Lian Jinchen's face, he also knew that it was inappropriate to bring Mingyue over at this time, but there were so many things that happened in the capital before, he was not in the capital, so Mingyue suffered so much grievance, and his wife was also sick for this, and the family was in chaos. In this situation, Mingyue experienced another danger, and he couldn't refuse her request.

I had to bring her with me.

People say that adversity sees the truth, and he thinks that maybe after this experience, he can also ease the relationship between the two.

After all, I had such a deep relationship in the past, and if I encountered a little misunderstanding, I wouldn't have made trouble to this point.

It's not that the Duke of Qi can't afford to lose this face, but he is also worried that if this continues, Mingyue's body will not be able to support it.

He was already indebted to another child, and he couldn't watch Mingyue have an accident anymore.

"The money and food raised by the household department have been safely delivered, and the second batch of households are still trying to find a way, and it is urgent to solve the urgent need first." Qi Guogong first explained the business to Lian Jinchen, and then lowered his voice and said to Lian Jinchen with some apologies,

"Your Royal Highness, Ming Yue is not in good health, and he is tired of traveling, and it is also because he is worried about you, he has lost weight several times, and he almost had an accident in Beijing, but he was saved thanks to meeting King Ke."

"Daddy, I'm fine, I'm just worried about Brother Chen, nothing else matters." Qi Mingyue looked at Lian Jinchen aggrievedly, but she seemed to be stubbornly holding back tears, looking very pitiful.

Lian Jinchen's face was slightly gloomy.

In the news in Beijing, even Jinchen only read about this disaster relief, and as for what happened in the house, he didn't have time to see it.

I don't know what happened to Qi Mingyue.

But no matter what, at this time, he really couldn't take care of Qi Mingyue, this was not the place to speak, he glanced at the carriage and called out to the maid who followed Qi Mingyue, "...... Put her in the carriage first. ”

"Brother Chen,......" Qi Mingyue grabbed his hand.

"Go in first." Lian Jinchen couldn't help it, so he softened his voice.

Seeing his soft attitude, Qi Mingyue finally smiled and obediently followed the maid back to the carriage.

Lian Jinchen said to Qi Guogong at this time: "Your Majesty has received the news from Lingzhou, it is estimated that it will come over in the next few days, Lingzhou is in chaos now, this time the matter is not done well, it is difficult for this king to deal with it, so please forgive Guogong, when you return to Beijing, you should bring Mingyue back first." Since this king has let her into the palace, he will not treat her badly in the future, this is what this king promised, and it has never changed. ”

Qi Guogong frowned, although he admitted that what Lian Jinchen said was reasonable, but now Qi Mingyue has no name or no point in his mansion, what's the matter?

At the beginning, he agreed to marry Ming Yue as a concubine.

Now I promised to let the side concubine enter the door, and I didn't mention Mingyue's name.

If he was in the capital at this time, he would have to talk to him well, and he wouldn't be so bullying.

But right now, it's really not the time to talk about this kind of thing.

The errand that His Majesty has given cannot be wronged, otherwise neither he nor Lian Jinchen will be able to explain it.

Everything has priorities, and no matter how uncomfortable he is, he can only endure it first.

"After the handover, I'm going to leave for Beijing, these days, I can always let Mingyue stay, right?" Qi Guogong looked at Lian Jinchen.

Lian Jinchen's face was ugly, but he still nodded: "Lingzhou is very chaotic now, and this king has no ability to take care of it, and he has to worry about the prince of the country these days." ”

Qi Guogong almost cursed.

Lian Jinchen clearly told him that he was causing trouble by bringing Qi Mingyue over.

He doesn't have time right now anyway, so he doesn't care.

It just doesn't make sense!

But he didn't take care of this matter, and it was not good to break with Lian Jinchen at this time, so he could only "hum", "The old minister knows." ”

Even Jinchen didn't have time to appease him, and directly commanded the guards he brought over to escort the money and grain escorted over to get off the ship, and always pay attention to the surrounding movements, although this is the dock of the state capital, but the entire Lingzhou is about to be chaotic, and there is no way to prevent anyone from fighting the idea of this money and grain.

So he didn't dare to relax even for a moment.

But the more you are afraid of something, the more you come.

No sooner had he unloaded the money and food from the ship, and before he could leave, someone threw several torches with thick smoke at the ship.

It was dry, and the ship immediately caught fire.

This sudden change shocked even Qi Guogong.

He hurriedly commanded people to put out the fire, but was stopped by Lian Jinchen, "Guogong, now is not the time to take care of the ships, you take Mingyue into the city first, this money and food is very important, and there must be no accidents." ”

Now I don't know how many people are secretly in the dark, and there are still more than ten miles from the dock to Fucheng, and I don't know how many homeless people are guarding the way.

There can be no delay.

Qi Guogong didn't expect that the situation in Lingzhou had reached this point, and he finally realized that his move of letting Ming Yue come with him was really outrageous.

Before he could let go of his frowning brows, he saw human heads emerging from the water, and he didn't know how long they had been lurking.

Seeing that the torches were useless, the group went ashore with knives.

rushed over to the money and food.

Looking at it roughly, there are 100 people.

With such a big movement, even Jinchen and the others didn't notice it at all, and they didn't know how long the other party had been hiding in secret.

"Brothers, rush—" A group of men who were like wild wolves, who were not afraid of death at all, raised their knives and slashed at the guards guarding the money and food.

The group fell into a scuffle in the blink of an eye.

"Woo-"

Suddenly, there was a loud suona sound not far away.

A big ship, slowly approaching.
