There was a huge crowd of people in front of the gate of the palace, and refugees in ragged clothes knocked on the broken bowls in their hands. They begged and screamed, and hunger seemed to take away all their sanity.

Looking at those ferocious and sad faces, Liu Muchen felt terrified.

Han Ke looked at the refugees who were blocked by the government soldiers, frowned and said, "Why did they gather here all of a sudden?"

According to the edict issued by the imperial court, there are strict restrictions on the number of refugees that can be admitted in Shangjing City every day, and judging from the current situation, it is afraid that half of the refugees from the outskirts of the city have poured into this place.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

There was shouting from behind the crowd, and the officers and soldiers with rough voices opened a passage among the refugees with their scabbards. Behind them, an eunuch in a scarlet robe came quickly.

The eunuch held the bright yellow imperial decree in his hand, he stood in front of Xiao Yan and coughed dryly, shouting: "The emperor has a decree! King Xuanning accepts the decree!"

Xiao Yan brought Liu Muchen and others to kneel together, and the eunuch unfolded the imperial decree and read out: "By God, the emperor ordered that there are many droughts in North China, Jiangnan and other places, and people's livelihood is damaged. I am very worried, and I ordered Xuanning Wang Xiaoyan is the general envoy of disaster relief, and he will open a warehouse to distribute food today, so as to ensure the safety of all people! This is my honor!"

"Your servant receives the decree! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Xiao Yan held up his hands and took the imperial decree from the eunuch.

Liu Muchen secretly glanced at Xiao Yan, the doubt on his face was self-evident.

The prince is willing to let go of such a lucrative job as disaster relief?

And why did these refugees come here? Could it be that the news that the emperor ordered Xiao Yan to help the disaster spread early in the morning?

"My lord! Enjoy the stuttering!"

"Yes! My lord! Please!"

As soon as the refugees saw Xiao Yan accepting the order, they crowded their bodies and rioted again. The government soldiers surrounding the front couldn't resist, and a few people took advantage of the loophole and rushed all the way in front of Xiao Yan.

"Give me food! Give me food!"

Liu Muchen was contemplating deeply when he suddenly felt a heavy pull on his shoulders. He turned his head to look, and saw a disheveled refugee firmly grasping his body. He was probably very hungry. There was still a bit of ferocious madness on the weak face, Liu Muchen was startled, and subconsciously took a step back, but unexpectedly used too much force, and only heard a "hiss", Liu Muchen's high-quality clothes unexpectedly fell apart. A piece of the sleeve was ripped off!

The white skin was exposed/exposed, and everyone including the refugees and the father-in-law looked dumbfounded. Xiao Yan squinted his eyes, and strode forward to block Liu Muchen from behind.

"I don't know when the food and salaries for disaster relief will be delivered?" Xiao Yan glanced at the eunuch delivering the decree, his face was much darker than before.

The eunuch handed over the imperial decree, and his dignity was lost by half, he bowed slightly, and said to Xiao Yan: "Go back to the prince, Mr. Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Households, has personally allocated grain, several stones have been transported to the disaster area, and the rest will be delivered to the outskirts of the city before dusk. "

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. Seeing that the refugees were about to rush up again, he hurriedly turned his head to Sun Qing and said, "How much food is there in the mansion? Leave it for us to eat and use, and release the rest first."

Sun Qing was taken aback for a moment, and went in response.

"Everyone, don't worry, as long as I have Xiao Yan for one day, I will ensure that your wives, children, old and small food will not worry, and you will survive this calamity!" Xiao Yan raised the imperial decree in his hand, and shouted loudly: "My emperor is holy! God will bless me! "

That sound was full of anger, and shouted so hard that people's whole body pumped up their energy. The refugees seemed to be overwhelmed by Xiao Yan's aura. They gradually quieted down their crying, and they all knelt down to Xiao Yan, and said gratefully: " Thank you, my lord!"

Seeing this scene, Han Ke and Yu Wenxu couldn't help casting appreciative glances at Xiao Yan, but the latter was unmoved, and just dragged Liu Muchen back home amidst the shouts.

"Why are you walking so fast? The prince is so majestic." Liu Muchen walked behind Xiao Yan, recalling the previous scene, a smile appeared on his face.

"This king is so majestic, what about you?" Xiao Yan slowed down, he stretched out his arms to wrap around Liu Muchen's shoulders, his palms with scorching heat pressed tightly against Liu Muchen's naked/exposed skin, he said : "Do you want to blow cold wind outside?"

Liu Muchen shook his shoulders, knowing that his strength was no match for Xiao Yan's, seeing no one around, he hugged himself along with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan raised the corners of his lips, his gloomy face finally looked better, he put his arms around Liu Muchen and brought him back to the room, and said: "Hurry up and change your clothes, and follow me to the outskirts of the city to provide food."

Logically speaking, from receiving the decree to its official implementation, various procedures need to be prepared for at least one night, but at the moment the public sentiment is surging, Xiao Yan knows that it is not too late.

Liu Muchen blinked and asked, "I want to go too?"

Xiao Yan took it for granted, "Do you even need to ask? You are my king's counselor, so naturally you have to follow."

Why can everything be brought up on the counselor's head, and the election of the princess last time was also...

Liu Muchen murmured secretly in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt that it made some sense. He thought for a moment, and said to Xiao Yan: "The prince will actually give up the food relief to the prince. Is there any problem here?"

Xiao Yan said with a smile: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, the best way to deal with my little Jiujiu brother is to wait and see what happens."

Liu Muchen nodded slightly, the prince's thoughts are really hard to guess, the last time Xiao Yan chose the princess, he thought that the prince just wanted to insert his power into Xiao Yan's side, but he didn't expect that he would actually keep Pan Qu and the steward, this time if there is really What kind of conspiracy, I'm afraid it's not something that can be imagined.

Pan Qu...

Liu Muchen was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, it may not be that the prince gave up to the lord, I'm afraid he has to. After all, the matter between the prime minister and his little daughter is there. Last time, it was the prince who proposed to choose a concubine for the lord. The emperor must be clear about the winding, maybe the emperor just wants to beat the prince's prestige this time, and let the prince..."

Before Liu Muchen finished speaking, a lump of clothes was stuffed into his hand. He raised his eyes and felt an extra hand on top of his head.

Xiao Yan rubbed Liu Muchen's head, and said with a smile: "The wall has ears, maybe there will be a second butler. You'd better guess less about my father's thoughts."

Liu Muchen held down Xiao Yan's hand that was pounding on his head, and replied, "Yes—"

He looked down at the brocade robe in his hand, and said to Xiao Yan, "Wear this for disaster relief?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to wear?"

"I'm afraid it will be torn again later." Liu Muchen thought for a while, and then said, "Get a more durable commoner clothes. You can keep these good clothes as a pawn. In the future, there will be plenty of places for the prince to spend money." .”

Thinking about him, Liu Muchen is also a rich second-generation overlord who spends money like water in modern times. How come he has become shabby after being with Xiao Yan, a male protagonist who was born as a prince?

Liu Muchen was quite puzzled. When Xiao Yan heard that Liu Muchen wanted him to be a majestic prince, he was stunned for a while. After a long time, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly a happy smile appeared on his face. Shouted outside the door: "Sun Qing! Go and get two more sturdy civilian clothes!"

Liu Muchen asked doubtfully, "Two pieces? The prince also wears them?"

Xiao Yan said with a smile: "In this way, you can get more money when you become a pawn in the future."

When Liu Muchen heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became complicated. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said in embarrassment: "You are still a prince, you can't dress too poorly, and save money, as long as there are villains."

Xiao Yan was unmoved, and said seriously: "Those who occupy high positions should share the difficulties of the people."

Liu Muchen was about to argue with Xiao Yan again, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who came in was holding a stack of common clothes, and it turned out to be the man in Xuanyi with the sword from before!

"Why is it you? Where's Sun Qing?" Xiao Yan looked at the swordsman, but he wasn't too surprised.

The black-clothed swordsman put his clothes on the table and replied: "He took the people in the mansion to the suburbs of Beijing to deliver food."

Xiao Yan nodded, and said to Liu Muchen: "It's not easy for him, how about giving him more moon silver next time?"

Liu Muchen didn't answer, but just secretly looked at the black-clothed swordsman. The latter glanced at him, and an imperceptible cold light flashed in his deep eyes.

What kind of god is this, I always feel that he seems to have a lot of opinions on me...

Do you want to ask Xiao Yan?But he doesn't seem to want others to know the origin of this swordsman, so...

Liu Muchen was still hesitating, but the black-clothed swordsman had already turned around and left. Xiao Yan looked at Liu Muchen's pensive look, and couldn't help laughing: "His name is Zhang Liu, and I brought him back from the Hall of Fortune in the early years." people."

Zhang Liu?Such a person with a great background at first glance, but his name is so down-to-earth?

Xiao Yan looked at Liu Muchen's face full of "disbelief", and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know what his real name is. Don't ask where the hero came from. I don't want to force others to make things difficult for me."

Heroes don't ask where they come from...

Liu Muchen raised the corners of his lips, always feeling that Xiao Yan's words were filled with unstoppable arrogance, he held up the two clothes on the table, and said to Xiao Yan: "My lord, please change quickly, the common people are still waiting. What's more, if you go late, it won't be good for some people to catch pigtails."

Xiao Yan looked at Liu Muchen, and suddenly reached out to touch his head.

Liu Muchen asked doubtfully, "What is the lord doing?"

Xiao Yan said "naively": "I don't have braids."

Liu Muchen: "..."

As the sun set, fiery red clouds covered the sky. Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan dressed in commoner clothes and galloped towards the outskirts of the city.

"My lord hasn't arrived yet, Lord Shangshu's move may be inappropriate!"

"Human life is at stake. If the lord doesn't come tonight, will the food be released?!"

Disputes came faintly along with the wind, and Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan looked at each other, knowing that not far ahead was the place where refugees took root and rested.

"My lord Shang Shu has forgotten, who is the chief disaster relief envoy personally ordered by the emperor!"

"The old man remembers clearly, it's not you, the deputy envoy!"

"Yu——" the sound of reining the horse resounded, Xiao Yan sat on the horse's back, he looked at the two people who were fighting with red faces below, and said with a smile: "What are you two adults doing?"

The two people who were arguing at first heard Xiao Yan's voice, they were both taken aback for a moment, and after they came back to their senses, they all bowed their heads and said respectfully: "I have seen the prince!"

Xiao Yan pulled Liu Muchen off the horse, he smiled casually and said, "Excuse me."

Those two people straightened up, Liu Muchen sized them up secretly, the older one was wearing a red official robe, he stood in front of Xiao Yan with a respectful but not humble expression, well, this person should be the Minister of the Household Department, Wei Xiao and...

"My lord! All matters related to disaster relief have been settled, just wait for my lord to come and issue orders!"

At this moment, the official standing next to Wei Xiaohe suddenly ran up to Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan, Liu Muchen looked at him, and before he could react, the man suddenly saluted him again: "This must be the Young Master Xiyuan, who is famous in the capital, you have admired his name for a long time, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation, he is indeed a good match for the prince!"

The autumn wind passed by, and the other three fell into silence because of the words "good couple and good match"...
