Rebirth: Phoenix Palm Nine Heavens

Chapter 129 Forcing Marquis Wuling

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Jiangling was hit by a severe flood. Houses were washed away, fertile farmland was lost, and many people even died in the flood. For a time, mourning filled the land, and countless corpses were floating in the flood.

When the news came back to Jingning City, it was already five days after the flood occurred. Because of King Su's instructions before leaving, the emperor directly ordered Wulinghou to be responsible for escorting the disaster relief silver and grain to Jiangling.

Ten million taels of silver, no official could look at it warmly, everyone wanted to get a piece of it. But Wu Linghou has an upright character and is unwilling to do such things that harm the country and the people. Naturally, there will be no peace on the way to escort.

After Xiao Jinse got the news, he climbed over the wall at night and entered the Wulinghou Mansion.

"Uncle Pei, please, take me to Jiangling with you. My second brother and the prince are both there."

"Sese, it's not that my uncle doesn't want to take you there. You are a military commander and you cannot leave Beijing casually without an imperial decree. What if some people make a fuss about the news of your departure?"

"Only I will go this time. Yun Shan and Yun Shu will stay in Jingning City. The two of them are my personal maids. As long as they are here, others will not notice me." Xiao Jinse said anxiously.

"Sese, if you leave Beijing suddenly, many people will definitely pay attention. If they read your book, what will happen to your family if you are no longer in Beijing? Don't do anything willful. What's more, your second brother is also battle-hardened. He will protect himself." Marquis Wu Ling comforted him.

"Uncle Pei, this flood is really dangerous. Besides, I have been staying in the house a few days ago. If I sneak away for a few days, no one will find me."

Hearing this, Wu Linghou suddenly looked at Xiao Jinse, how could she be so sure of the danger of floods?

Suddenly, an answer flashed in my mind, but I quickly rejected it.

I thought to myself, how could she, a little girl who had just grown her hair, have the ability to predict the future? What's more, it was really too hot the past few days, and he didn't want to go out unless he had to go to court. Maybe all this is really just a coincidence.

Seeing Xiao Jinse's anxious look, Pei Xiyue hurriedly helped, "Dad, just take Sese with you. Brother Xiao is also in Jiangling. It's normal for her to be worried."

Hearing this, Marquis Wu Ling sighed, "What do you know, girl? Isn't it strange that she disappeared without a trace? Even if she hasn't seen anyone for a few days, what if someone comes looking for her? What's more, go and find her. Jiangling is not a matter of a few days, I cannot agree to this matter."

Didn't he know that if he took Xiao Jinse with him, the money and food would be much safer along the way, but he couldn't let Xiao Jinse lose his head just because of Jiangling.

"Uncle Pei, please take me into the palace to see the emperor. I will tell the emperor personally." Xiao Jinse said solemnly.

Xiao Jinse also knew in her heart that if she left the capital quietly, once someone found out, even if Yunshan Yunshu was left in the house, her mother's safety could not be guaranteed. Therefore, only with the emperor's consent could the safety of the Xiao family be guaranteed.

Seeing Xiao Jinse's anxious look, Marquis Wuling felt very entangled in his heart and kept pacing back and forth in the room.

"Uncle Pei..."

"father……"

"Husband..."

Marquis Wuling was almost driven crazy. These three people really made him don't know what to do.

He had watched Xiao Jinse grow up, and he was one of the few handkerchiefs his daughter had. He doesn't hesitate to offend others for the sake of the peace of his own home.

"Sese, just go home and wait for the news. Uncle Pei promises you that he will bring your second brother back safely."

It's not that Xiao Jinse doesn't trust Wu Linghou, but that there are many dangers on the road to disaster relief. She must go not only to protect her family, but also to hope that this batch of relief food and relief funds can be successfully distributed to the victims.

As long as the victims did not riot, the court would naturally have no excuse to suppress them.

At this moment, the emperor in the palace summoned Marquis Wuling to enter the palace, and Xiao Jinse took the opportunity to follow Marquis Wuling into the palace secretly...
