Chapter Twenty-Nine: Enlightenment
After knowing Yun Xi's identity, Yu Yanke finally figured out why she could still be at large for so long after committing a shocking crime.
As long as the person who investigates reports carefully, the person in charge can know that it is the handiwork of the eldest princess, and naturally, he will not dare to investigate deeply.
It's just that I don't know why they absconded overnight, but Yun Xi took the initiative to go.
Thinking about it, although she also knew that although she would not be affected in the end, if she acted too indifferently and didn't even bother to do the basic absconding, it would cause Yu Yanke's doubts.
Besides, there is a certain procedure for the trial of cases in the empire, and if she is detained and imprisoned, it will really be very famous among the upper echelons.
Although she is famous in her own right, she would never want to have such a black spot.
The eldest princess in the eyes of Kyoto people has always had a clear distinction between love and hate, caring for her subordinates, and has a posture of captivating the country.
If one day it is suddenly rumored that the eldest princess is in prison for murder, even if it is clarified afterwards, it will be a great stain.
Although they all know that she is not that kind of brutal, otherwise how could she sit in the position of the prince of the empire?
However, people are terrible, and she knows it well, so she doesn't dare to risk it.
His Majesty demoted her out of Kyoto, and took her away from her name, it was already a low point in her life, and if she fell again and again, it would really break some people's hearts.
Yun Ji doesn't care about herself, she has to think about her staunch supporters.
And that bloody case actually alarmed the people of Yungou Academy, and they could see at a glance whose hand it was.
Out of trust and protection for the eldest princess, someone in the upper echelons issued some orders.
The people below investigated carefully, and found several pieces of evidence that could convict the unlucky town official of the death penalty, which added up to enough to punish him for the nine clans.
Then he gave up, and then reported the case.
Anyway, the case was quickly suppressed by someone with a heart, and then carefully made a drip, anyway, it has nothing to do with the eldest princess.
Thinking about it, even if he knew that it was the eldest father's initiative, he would only praise her merits, after all, to be honest, although Yun Xi was self-protecting and conforming to the Dao heart, it could be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
God knows how many bastards those guys usually do to bully men and women.
Thinking about everything, Yu Yanke sighed, looking at the noble person under the hat, but he had a very bad premonition in his heart.
"Does anyone know your whereabouts?"
Yun Ji didn't let him call her His Royal Highness, so Yu Yanke called her directly like before.
"Nobody knows......," Yun Ji said, and hesitated, "The people of Kyoto should know." ”
"How could they know? 108,000 miles away, and you are incognito. Yu Yanke said strangely.
"I didn't know it before, but now I know. Yun Ji sighed: "This is one of the reasons why I am reluctant to tell you, maybe, even you, they have already figured it out." ”
Yu Yanke was stunned: "So many people are paying attention to you?"
"How can the word concern be interpreted?" Yun Ji sneered: "They wish I couldn't go back." ”
"Of course, there are people who are trying their best to protect me. Yun Ji said: "But it has nothing to do with me, I don't care what those people in Kyoto think, I just focus on myself." ”
When Yu Yanke heard this, he became worried for no reason.
"Will those of your followers take advantage of this?"
"They're unsightly, and even if they do, what can they do? You're in trouble at best. Yun Ji said indifferently.
Yu Yanke's face changed: "Looking for trouble with me?"
"Who made you approach me with an innocent face and a mouth full of friends? You were the first to want to be friends with me, so I fulfilled you, but no one else thought so. ”
Yun Ji said with a smile.
Yu Yanke's face was calm, and he inadvertently caused such a big basket, he didn't know if he could hold it.
Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who is extremely noble, accepted him as a friend in a daze, and slept in the mountains for a period of time before, and slept every night, this relationship is far more than ordinary friends.
Yu Yanke is a little overwhelmed and a little aggrieved at the moment, after all, everyone is really just partners in the same industry, if you want to say that you are friends, then you suddenly talked openly and honestly today.
It's barely a friend, it's that simple relationship, but it's mixed with a lot of things that shouldn't be friends.
If it seems to outsiders, it is simply a little ambiguous. Yu Yanke thought about it, and was a little annoyed, so much so that there was a feeling that Yun Ji deliberately dug a pit to make him jump.
The fame of the eldest princess, he had heard of it in the western part of the empire.
The first is a glamorous name, known as the most beautiful woman in the Yunlang Empire in the next thirty years, ranking seventh on the Rouge List.
Why is it seventh? Just because she is not yet an adult, in the eyes of many people, she is not the most beautiful time.
Besides, the other beauties are not bad.
Second, it is her name.
Wen Daowu is a little bit of a good thing, the crown of the entire royal family, there are many people who are not convinced, and after seeing her deity again, they all become her loyal embrace.
It's good to say that in a place far away from Kyoto, if you go to Kyoto, if those sons of the family know that there is such a person as Yu Yanke, they will probably have to cramp and peel him on the spot.
Yes, Yun Xi's fanatical crowds are so ferocious.
When it was daylight, the caravan departed.
The caravan seemed to be carrying some valuable goods, so it did not dare to hold it up, so it was careful to slow down.
Zhang Rong, the big man who fought with Yu Yanke yesterday, turned out to be the leader of the caravan's dart division.
The temporarily recruited dart masters plus Yu Yanke are two, a total of more than a dozen.
Coupled with the original dart division, this caravan has a total of more than thirty escort forces.
These martial artists, the most unlucky, have also reached the point of cultivating qi and opening up their minds, and they can be regarded as a strong team.
Zhang Rong seems to like talking to Yu Yanke very much.
After walking for less than an hour, he explained his ancestors for eighteen generations.
For a self-acquaintance like him, Yu Yanke smiled a little embarrassed.
According to Zhang Rong, the eight generations of his family were diligent farmers, and ten generations ago, he was a wealthy gentry, but unfortunately he was only three generations rich, and the ninth generation of the ancestor was really a loser, lost all his property, and finally choked his breath on a rainy night.
It's also ridiculous to say that after the ninth generation of the ancestor died, the family couldn't get a few copper coffin money, so they could only wrap him in a cloth at will and bury it.
Then, their family began to do the farm work.
Until now.
Zhang Rong talked about his childhood, and his rugged face also brought a little warmth and sadness, he said that when he was a child, his family was very poor, poorer than any generation of his ancestors.
The thief township chief withheld allowances, secretly increased taxes, colluded with those squires, and covered the sky with one hand.
It's been miserable.
Yu Yanke didn't speak, listened to him carefully, and actually sympathized with this man in his heart.
He said that at that time, several poor and sour talents with a little knowledge spontaneously organized the villagers to fight, but who expected that those officials would directly arrest them.
It is useless to be a scholar, and this sentence spread, and the villagers seem to have forgotten the struggle that those Xiucai who can't even eat enough to eat for them.
The world is thin and cold.
"When I was a child, because my mother was a little popular, I was helping a family to work, and that family was very good, and I would send some white noodles to the long-term workers during the New Year's holidays. ”
"So every time I celebrate the holidays, I can eat crispy and soft steamed cakes, which is really the happiest time. ”
Zhang Rong recalled.
Later, a ranger came, and he couldn't get used to those powerful fish and meat people, so he killed people in anger, but unfortunately, the government arrested him indiscriminately and cut off his good head. ”
"Then another official came, and everyone lived a slightly better life than before. ”
"After that time, I was thinking, it turns out that having martial arts on the body is the confidence to speak, and those scholars, who are full of money, can't eat enough, can't dress warmly, and live in a dilapidated house. ”
"I worshipped a master and learned martial arts, and now, it has been thirty years, and I am still a good mix. ”
Zhang Ronglang said with a smile: "Little brother, you said that in this world, is it only a martial artist who is qualified to speak?"
Yu Yanke didn't know how to speak, although he felt that Zhang Rong was too paranoid, but he also knew that what he said made some sense.
He didn't deny the man's qualifications either.
Everyone's upbringing is different, so their views on the world are different, and as long as he is a good person, then others are not qualified to criticize him.
Thinking about it, he subconsciously glanced at Yun Xi, but couldn't see Yun Xi's expression, and was protected by her layer by layer.
Zhang Rong saw him looking at the cold man in black who had been silent, and quipped: "What, you kid still depends on your brother's face when he says something?"
Yu Yanke's face stiffened, thinking that it was okay for him not to mention this stubble, but mentioning this stubble was simply life-threatening.
I didn't know Yun Xi's identity before, and he could still get along with her with a big grin, but now he ......
However, Yu Yanke is not the fledgling chick, and after his face was slightly stiff, he burst out with a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze.
The seniors laughed, but I really didn't know how to answer the seniors, after all, the kid was only a shallow learner, and he had just entered the rivers and lakes, where did he dare to have his own inexplicable opinions, which all took a long time to accumulate. ”
Zhang Rong laughed when he heard this, and his mood changed from heavy before to a lot more comfortable.
Yu Yanke patted Zhang Rong's ass without a trace, but in his heart, he was almost disgusted by his own words.
He had only slapped the sycophants of scholars and Yun Xi before, and they were not easy to use, both of them were human spirits.
At this moment, I slapped this big man's ass at random, and I didn't want to pay it back.
It's just that Yu Yanke shouted his predecessors really awkwardly, and felt that this big man Zhang Rong was enough for him to call uncle.
However, awkwardness is awkward, thinking that such bullish characters as scholars sometimes give people a smile, Yu Yanke is much calmer.
This person is in the world, and he has to be able to pretend.
sighed in his heart, but Yu Yanke's face was full of smiles.
"You kid has an appetite for me. Zhang Rong smiled, then patted Yu Yanke's shoulder and said, "You will follow me along the way, if there is anything, just hide." ”
Yu Yanke smiled bitterly when he heard this, but thanked him again and again.
