Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

This self-righteous look almost made Gu Qinghe think that she was right.

But it was obvious that Shao Wei didn't care about her words at all.

Putting down the teacup, he looked at the city lord and his wife with some pity in his eyes, "Do you know who this person is?"

"General Shao is very generous. Don't bother with people like us. You can decide how to solve this matter to make you feel comfortable. We will never say no."

"What you say doesn't make any sense to me."

Shao Wei had heard about the deeds of the mayor and his wife of Huicheng. They were usually kind and virtuous. When there was a drought in Chizhou and the people had no harvest, no one knew when the relief grain from the capital would be approved. Even if it was approved, no one knew whether the people could wait for it.

In desperation, the prefect of Chizhou had to ask for help from the surrounding cities, but the food he got was just a drop in the bucket.

Finally, the mayor of Huicheng shipped several carts of grain from his shop to Chizhou. These grains allowed the people of Chizhou to wait for relief grain from the capital.

At this moment, Shao Wei looked at the city lord and his wife who were full of worry, and then looked at Ouyang Xia who still didn't know where he had done wrong, and said coldly, "Do you know that your actions today will bring a disastrous disaster to your parents, no, it should be your entire Huicheng."

Without Ouyang Xia's response or rebuttal, he continued, "This is the Third Prince of Yun State. The people from Yun State are on their way to pick him up. How this matter is resolved will depend on what Yun State says by then."

The third prince of Yun State?

The city lord suddenly fell to the ground, his face pale.

Even though he had never been to Yun State and had never had any dealings with the people of Yun State, he had heard a lot about Yun State.

The city lord has been the city lord of Huicheng for so many years, so he must have some skills.

The Yun State was a powerful country with dozens of famous generals. However, General Huo of their Rui Dynasty was killed by a traitor. Now, except for General Shao, there is no one else as brave as them who can stand alone on the front line.

What's more, Rui Chao had just ended the war with Liyang. If Yun State launched an attack now, Liyang, which had just stopped its attacks, would most likely follow suit and add insult to injury.

How could the city lord not be afraid?

After sitting on the ground for a long time, the city lord suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shao Wei's arm, "General Shao, all the mistakes are my fault as a father. When the people of Yun come, you can take me with you. This matter has nothing to do with the people of Huicheng. As long as it does not affect the people, I am willing to deal with them in any way."

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ouyang Xia stepped forward and helped his crying mother to sit down on a chair. He glanced at Lan Yu who was still hiding behind Gu Qinghe with a deep gaze.

She took two steps towards Lan Yu, and when she saw him subconsciously avoiding her, she stopped, "Since this matter was caused by me, it is natural that I should be punished."

It has to be said that Ouyang Xia is quite a smart person. Since Shao Wei has revealed Lan Yu's identity at this moment, he is giving her a chance to make amends.

If she could obtain the forgiveness of the Third Prince before the arrival of the Yun people, then the matter might not be hopeless.

It is not difficult for Ouyang Xia to coax people, but in front of Lan Yu, it is obvious that her previously invincible tricks are now useless.

Because Lan Yu was obviously a little afraid of her.

But it doesn't matter. Ouyang Xia knows that some things can't be rushed, so she asked Shao Wei, "When will the people from Yun State arrive?"

"As fast as three days."

Three days, about the same.

Ouyang Xia nodded, "General Shao wants to take the Third Prince away?"

"nature."

There was no need to ask this question. Just from the way Lan Yu was holding Gu Qinghe tightly, it could be seen that Gu Qinghe was probably the only person he trusted at this moment.

"Okay," Ouyang Xia held out his hands, "In this case, General Shao will definitely take me with him. If I run away secretly, General Shao will have a hard time explaining to the Yun State."

Shao Wei waved his hand, and Gao Cun immediately stepped forward and tied Ouyang Xia's wrists with a rough hemp rope.

The city lord and his wife cried silently in the back, but they could do nothing.

They usually love Ouyang Xia very much, and she can do whatever she wants as long as she is happy.

To outsiders, Ouyang Xia was a dissolute woman with no reputation. However, only the couple knew that none of the men kept in their daughter's backyard were forced by her.

Just go to the back with a knife and drag those men out, and ask them to leave. If they refuse to leave, just stab them. Those people may not be willing to leave.

How can they blame their daughter for this?

All I can say is that their daughter is very charming.

But even though the city lord didn't know how his daughter brought the third prince of Yun State here, he was very clear about his responsibilities as the city lord.

He could pay the price for his daughter, but not the people in the city.

Before leaving, Ouyang Xia walked to his parents and whispered, "Don't tell Su Ji and the others what happened today. Just say that I was bored and went out to travel."

Otherwise, if those guys knew about this, they would probably make a fuss. Ouyang Xia felt a headache just thinking about it.

The city lord's eyes were red. "Don't blame your parents. If it really comes to that, your parents will accompany you."

"You're talking nonsense again," Ouyang Xia curled the corners of his lips, "There is no one in this world who can't coax a daughter. Don't worry, even if it's really hard to coax her, it's her own business, and it has nothing to do with her parents."

She followed Shao Wei out, wearing a dazzling red dress, which made her look quite free and easy.

With his hands tied, Ouyang Xia naturally couldn't ride a horse, so he was arranged to ride in a carriage with Gu Qinghe.

Lan Yu could have ridden a horse by himself, but he insisted on following Gu Qinghe. Shao Wei's handsome face turned dark, "It would be better for the Third Prince to ride a horse. The carriage is small and can't hold so many people."

"Then why don't you kick the pregnant woman out?" Lan Yu looked puzzled.

In the end, it was Gu Qinghe who came out and coaxed Shao Wei a few words before the situation was resolved.

After entering the carriage, Gu Qinghe took off the mask on her face. Lan Yu was not too surprised at her sudden change of appearance. He must have seen human skin masks before.

Instead, Ouyang Xia looked at her thoughtfully, "Are the red spots on your face congenital?"

Gu Qinghe nodded and raised her eyebrows. "You know what, this shape is quite special. Don't you think it looks like a lotus?"

"I don't think so. Everyone who has seen it says it's ugly. I guess no one would take a closer look at its shape."

Not to mention others, even Gu Qinghe himself didn't pay much attention to the shape of the red spot.

Ugly? Ouyang Xia felt that those people must be quite short-sighted. Of course, there were not many people in the world who were as good at capturing beauty as she was.
