I have to say that it is actually a very happy thing to solve the confusion in my heart.The next morning, they had driven all night. They should have been exhausted, but the accompanying guards were surprised to find that Wen Guogong was radiant and radiant, as if he was getting younger, not like a man in his 30s.

"..."

Is it true that the old rumors in Pingdu that Wen Guogong won the old man won the demon?Don't think he really turned into a monster, right?It is not impossible to say that it is a monster. Isn't Shu Yao a bunch of strange people and strange things.The guard who was secretly gossiping withdrew his gaze, without changing expression or beating heartbeat.It doesn't matter, anyway, even if it is a monster, it is still a good-looking monster.

Mr. Wen, who didn't know that he was being regarded as a monster, was in a good mood. He looked outside, recruited the one closest to the carriage, and said, "Come, see if there is any resting place in front of you, so you can straighten out the team and feed the horses some grass." .You also take a break from the meeting."

"Yes."

Yuan Xiao heard the familiar voice, and took a closer look outside Wen Yi, only to see a figure from the back.

Wen Yi said, "Why, do you know each other?"

Yuan Xiao shook his head: "It sounds familiar."

Wen Yi said with a smile: "Your Highness is in the same place as the commander of the same flower, so it is impossible to say that he is familiar with his subordinates."

This person was Chang Huaizhi, Hua Huai'an was supposed to lead the team himself, so all of them were his cronies.As soon as she thought of this level, Wen Yi thought of the topic that Yuan Xiao had mixed up before: "How did you convince His Majesty to agree?"

Yuan Xiao naturally also thought of the topic that was cut off in the middle, so instead of answering, he just said, "Don't call me Your Highness."

Wen Yi: "..." He was silent for a long time, "It's not suitable."

Yuan Xiao insisted: "Call secretly."

"Xiao'er?"

The prince then laughed, full of ambition: "Brother Wen. Hey, you're blushing."

Wen Yi said calmly, "You are wrong."

Yuan Xiao secretly credited the scriptures he read before.It seems that changing the name is really an excellent way to enter a relationship.But he didn't think about it either. The books he read were all related to men and women, and it was very common for them to be called brothers and sisters.How can it be applied to the two of them.What's more, he is not the delicate Bai Er. When Su Bingrong wanted to make Yuan Xiao softer, he was scared away by his appearance with an axe.Now this "brother"—really, is full of masculinity.

Not interested.

But Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat.Men, from ancient times to the present, have never disliked the appearance of their partner being attached to them.

Now that the title was changed, Yuan Xiao told Wen Yi: "Uncle didn't agree at first, but I told him that I was born in Liangzhou, near Border Pass. It's close to Shuyao, and I know some customs and customs there. Far better than Huahuai'an It has to come right.”

Wen Yi wondered: "You actually know the customs there?" Even he didn't know.Wen Yi has only been abroad.

Yuan Xiao threw a piece of fruit: "You lied to him." He looked innocent, "You also believe it?"

"..."

No, he shouldn't have believed it.

At the moment of speaking, Chang Huaizhi had already returned: "His Royal Highness, Mr. Wen. Before arriving at the post station, there is a teahouse."

Wen Yi nodded: "Let's go to the teahouse to have a rest first, and take a rest. Then go to the next post station for the night. Can you arrive before nightfall?"

Chang Huaizhi counted the journey: "I can't arrive at night, but I can arrive at about midnight."

"It's midnight, let's say midnight. Tomorrow's departure time will be later." Anyway, they were there to pick up people, so there was no rush.If Shu Yao arrives first, let them wait in the Qingluo River, and it won't hinder anything.Why bother his hard work.

Chang Huaizhi said: "Understood." Then he went to rest the team.

It was only two sticks of incense time, and they arrived at the teahouse.The teahouse was built in the middle of the road, just to provide drinking water for passing guests. The place is small and crude.The few tables and chairs inside had already been occupied by people, Wen Yi ordered the team to stop and not move forward, and only camped not far away, sent someone to the teahouse and bought some pots of water to share with the guards.After a short rest, they led their horses to feed the grass without mentioning it.

Chang Huaizhi handed the water bottle to Wen Yi and left.

Wen Yi asked Yuan Xiao, "Drink?"

Yuan Xiao shook his head.There was some water in their carriage, which he drank before, so he was not thirsty.

Seeing that he didn't drink, Wen Yi took a few sips by herself and poured the rest into the water bag.Traveling can be simple and simple, they only brought a little water, and they were thinking of going all the way to the post station to resupply.He was packing his bags, when suddenly he saw Yuan Xiao who was sitting beside him stood up and walked towards the teahouse.Wen Yi didn't say a word, just looked at her, and Chang Huaizhi followed.

Yuan Xiao moved suddenly because he suddenly saw a few people lying under the tree over there, in ragged clothes, old and young, and they were particularly eye-catching here.It's not that he has never seen beggars, even in the prosperous age of heaven, beggars are indispensable, and there will never be any.But it's a bit strange that this number is concentrated here.

Although Chang Huaizhi didn't speak, he followed Yuan Xiao not far or near.When they travel, they are not very ostentatious, at most they dress up like business leaders and servants, and they are not worried that someone will try to rob them.But the prince's safety must always be taken care of.

While thinking about this, Yuan Xiao had already reached that place.

Although Wen Yi didn't get up, she was observing silently. According to his judgment, these were probably not ordinary beggars, but poor people from some place who migrated all the way east and happened to settle here.

Sure enough, after talking with them for a while, Yuan Xiao came back and sat down on the ground: "They said they came from Suling. There was a flow of rocks there, and the village collapsed. I wanted to go to the county seat, but the county magistrate drove them away. , I’m going all the way here.” I was already poor, so I could only live frugally on the way, and wanted to find someone to uphold justice.

When Wen Yi heard the word Su Ling, her face changed slightly.He said lightly: "There are many mountains there, and there are also many bandits. The life of the residents at the foot of the mountain has always been difficult. If there is a mudslide, the county magistrate will bear a big responsibility if he knows about it and fails to report it."

Yuan Xiao said: "Do you know Su Ling?"

Wen Yi didn't want to talk too much: "I've heard about it a little bit." She wanted to change the subject, "Did you ask the name of the county magistrate there?"

Yuan Xiao said: "I asked, my name is Xue Qin, from Yuzhou."

Wen Yi recruited someone to come over, asked for a pen and paper, wrote down the Suling incident together with the name of the county magistrate, handed it to Chang Huaizhi and said, "You can find a way to send this letter to Pingping County as quickly as possible." It's all in His Majesty's hands."

Yuan Xiao looked at Wen Yi's actions and thought for a while: "Are you afraid that the people at the inn will answer you openly, but secretly refuse?" Originally, after arriving at the inn tonight, they could ask the people there to deliver it.

He actually understands this truth?Wen Yi was a little surprised, but then she thought about it, what is so strange about the prince's understanding? Could it be that he was deceived by his innocent appearance in recent days, and forgot how this man stabbed Hubu in a calm manner when he first came to Daqian .Wen Yi explained to Yuan Xiao: "Natural disasters happen, no matter whether it is too late or not, we must deal with them as soon as possible to prevent the problem from expanding. As for the station, you are right. I don't trust them, and Chang Huai's arrangements , It is a moment to be able to be earlier."

Yuan Xiao didn't understand: "Why aren't the people in the post station trustworthy?"

Because the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Even if it is difficult to spread the news about what happened in Suling, it will naturally spread gradually when the refugees travel to neighboring counties and towns.If everyone is of one mind, how could Pingdu still not know about Suling's disaster?Some people want to poke this matter, and some people will stop it. "It's the accomplices who are blocked, and the enemies who are stabbed." Wen Yi asked Yuan Xiao by the way, "Your Highness, why do you think there is such a disaster in Suling?"

Yuan Xiao said: "I heard from the people just now that it was because of the county magistrate Xue Qin's attack on the mountain."

Wen Yi nodded: "Not bad."

When he first arrived in Suling, he was full of logging.Suling produces a kind of camphor tree, which is woody and fragrant, and is very popular with dignitaries.But at that time, after all, it was several decades ago, and the momentum was okay.Because there were bandits on the mountain—the gang who chopped down Wen Yi, with their obstruction, those who felled the tree were not so unscrupulous.Now that the bandits are gone, the situation in Suling is probably very bad.

"The old emperor has always advocated planting trees to protect the forest, and he was not allowed to cut down trees at will. But Suling is far away from Pingdu, Xue Qin lied about the real situation, and the emperor never went to inspect it in person, resulting in the current situation."

Yuan Xiao frowned.

"Under the light, the wind and the moon, there are filth and filth, so what is the prosperity of the world?"

"That's not what you said." Wen Yi slightly disagreed, "Compared to the turmoil and chaos, the wealth of the people today is commendable. But the world is so big that it is not enough for one person to think about Haiqing River Banquet." In this world There are many people who stir up the muddy water.

Yuan Xiao murmured: "My uncles should really come out and take a look. Instead of thinking about fighting for the throne every day, it's better to advise the emperor and share the affairs." The prince who has lived in the deep palace for a long time really doesn't know the sufferings of the world.

Wen Yi hooked the corners of her mouth and remained silent.

In fact, there is a way to recruit talented people.In ancient times, the establishment of imperial examinations was to recruit talents from all over the world to serve the country.But speaking of it, didn't Xue Qin pass the scientific examination and become a county magistrate?

After all, this matter has a long history, and it has not been resolved for thousands of years. Wen Yi does not expect Yuan Xiao to give an answer.But Yuan Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "I don't understand those principles. It's just that this person is not good, so I'll change him. If this place is in trouble, then I'll save them first." one place.

Speaking of this, he felt a little regretful: "It's just that there are not enough people, otherwise I'll go around to Suling to have a look."

Wen Yi said: "It's useless for you to go now. It's better to do your job well and get the envoys here first. As for Suling, Chang Huaizhi will arrange good people. I think Pingdu will know soon. News." Emperor Yuan has a bad temper and is not a good person, but in terms of being an emperor, he can be regarded as a wise emperor.Otherwise, Wen Yi wouldn't have stayed in Dagan for so many years.

"Okay." Wen Yi stood up, patted the dirt on her body, "Call the brothers and set off." After such a long rest, those who should drink water have had their fill, and those who should eat grass have had enough.If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the post in the middle of the night.

Chang Huaizhi yelled: "Get up, let's go."

A group of them took their horses and wanted to go around the teahouse.Wen Yi waited for Yuan Xiao to get into the carriage first, but before she stepped up, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure running over from the corner of her eyes.He quickly pulled the curtain door, turned around and retreated, and there was a person kneeling in front of him.It was the beggar who had been resting in the shade of the tree before.

"Master, gentlemen, please do me a favor and give me some money. We can't even afford water."

This man was considered young, only about forty, but he looked like a generation away from Wen Yi.With a pounce, he grabbed Wen Yi's trousers.Chang Huaizhi stared and was about to step forward to drive him away, but Wen Yi raised his hand to stop him.He felt a little annoyed, if he hadn't scattered people around to feed the horses, how could he have had the opportunity to make these people approach?

When Yuan Xiao heard the movement, he wanted to lift the curtain to see, but unfortunately the curtain was pulled tightly by Wen Yi. If he couldn't move it with brute force, he had to give up the door and put his head out of the window instead. "what happened?"

Wen Yi pushed his head back, closed the curtains, and then bent down to help the middle-aged man.

"Speak well if you have something to say."

The middle-aged man changed from holding on to Wen Yi's trousers to holding on to Wen Yi's sleeve. In short, he didn't let go after he caught someone, and hurriedly said: "Old, master, I can see that you are very rich. You Please do me a favor, I don't mind, there are old people and children behind me. Look." He said that he was afraid that Wen Yi would not believe him, so he pointed it out to Wen Yi.

He had been watching Wen Yi and his party under the shade of a tree for a long time, and according to his judgment, he probably knew that there was a young master in the carriage, and this older man was in charge.Even if they were dressed in plain clothes, they couldn't hide their extravagance.And the direction is from the east, even if there is no other use, it is still necessary to ask for some money.

If these people are extremely cold-blooded, why should you come here and ask questions?He was holding on to this glimmer of hope, so he didn't even want to pounce on him with his life.It seems that the bet is right.
