The young man appeared to be in his early twenties. He was often abused by the people of Danford County all the year round, and was given pig and dog rice. At this time, he was as thin as a wood, with a handsome face with sunken cheeks and sunken eye sockets. He looked very pitiful.
When he returned to the fire, he didn't know how to behave, so he just sat down with a bamboo stick, one broken leg was straightened, and the broken right arm was bandaged by Jingzhe, at this time his arm was hung with a cloth strip.
Xiaoxue asked Jing Zhe, "How is this person injured?"
Jing Zhe sat down, so he was deaf and mute, and he was not so shy about speaking, "Both arms and legs were broken by life, but the legs were fine, maybe they had been fractured for a long time, and they slowly grew back together. I went up, although I didn't recover well, I looked a little crooked, but at least it didn't affect it too much, I just walked a little limp. The arm was completely broken, the bones inside were broken, and it was all connected by the skin and flesh on the outside. I just had his bones straightened, and I found a branch to bandage and fix it, and if I want to come and go, Hall Master Liao will also find a doctor for him to take a good look at."
Xiaoxue nodded and looked at the young man with sympathy.
Jing Zhe asked again, "Has Madam rested?"
"Yes."
"Then let's take turns to watch the night, let's take a break, and we will go to see the master tomorrow."
"it is good."
After the four people discussed it properly, they rested.
When they woke up early the next morning, Qin Yining and Ji Yun were dressed neatly and came out of the tent with towels, green salt and other items, and saw the young man curled up by the fire.
Xu Shi heard the footsteps, and the young man suddenly opened his eyes alertly. When he first opened his eyes, there was a kind of defensiveness and ferocity of beasts being disturbed.
But when he saw that it was Qin Yining who made the sound, his ferocity quickly disappeared, he lowered his eyes and lowered his head, nodding wildly at Qin Yining.
Qin Yining smiled and went to wash hands with Ji Yun.
Everything was in order, back to the camp, a few people had a simple breakfast, Jing Zhe arranged for Xiao Han to find out about Pang Xiao, and told Xiao Xue to send the youth to find Hall Master Liao.
Qin Yining handed a few taels of silver to the young man, and gestured to him: "This is for you. When it comes to my village, let them find a doctor to see your injuries."
The young man held the bank note and looked at Qin Yining suspiciously.
Qin Yining gestured and said it several times, imitating the doctor's appearance when he was seeing a doctor, and the young man completely understood.
He looked at Qin Yining, holding the silver note and slowly lowered his head.
Qin Yining knew that this person didn't know much about etiquette and didn't pay much attention to it, so he turned to instruct Xiaoxue: "Be careful, don't rush to Huichuan when you arrive at Huichuan, I will go back with the lord in a few days."
Xiaoxue should go down and prepare the horses.
Not long after, Xiao Han, who inquired about the whereabouts of Pang Xiao and his party, came back.
"Madam, it's also a coincidence. Master's team is stationed on another road. Let's go there, but we can meet you in two incense sticks."
Qin Yining was astonished, "It's so close, if I had gone the other way yesterday, I would have met you."
"yes."
Qin Yining was very happy. At this time, the camp had been cleaned up and the fire had been dealt with. Qin Yining and Ji Yun boarded the carriage, Jing Zhe and the others were driving a car.
Xiaoxue, on the other hand, led the two horses and the burden, and dragged the young man who stood by the road and watched Qin Yining's team walk away.
The young man looked at the direction the carriage was leaving, his hand holding the silver note clenched a little more, and his light-colored lips pursed.
Xiaoxue turned and smiled: "Let's go, let's go too."
With the help of Xiaoxue, the young man awkwardly mounted his horse.
—
Pang Xiao's team was originally stationed not far away, and since Xiao Han had just been here, knowing that Qin Yining was not far away, Pang Xiao did not rush out of the camp and waited for Qin Yining in place.
Not long after, Qin Yining's team arrived.
Tang Xiu and the others saw Qin Yining's team approaching from a distance, and greeted them with a smile, while others quickly went inside to communicate.
Qin Yining got off the carriage and saw Pang Xiao striding out of the tent. He was wearing a white brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist. He had the noble aura of a prince and grandson, and he couldn't tell that this man was a leader of the army. Obviously, he dressed up like this on purpose to show his identity.
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi followed Pang Xiao and saluted when they saw Qin Yining.
Qin Yining hurriedly avoided and said with a smile, "Don't do this two gentlemen."
Pang Xiao had already approached, and said with concern: "I made a promise that you have to come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The team is slowing down the pace. Why did you return so quickly? Did something happen?"
Qin Yining nodded and said solemnly: "There are some things, let's go in and talk."
Seeing the expression on Qin Yining's face, everyone felt that something was wrong with the governor. The group entered the camp and sat down according to their identities. Qin Yining talked about what he saw and heard in Danfu County, and how he escaped with the young man in the end, and how he settled the young man, and finally concluded:
"The people of Danfu County are simple and ignorant. Perhaps because of the influence of the three major clans in the area, they act with a bit of arrogance. They seem to have a deep misunderstanding of the court, and they don't pay much attention to etiquette. I am willing to believe the words of their local big family elders. In addition, they must have misunderstood you, the loyal prince. "
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi couldn't help but look solemn when they heard the words.
"The situation is not easy to handle. I don't know what these people have misunderstood, and they actually regard the prince as a beast of a flood. The people here are unwilling to go to Huichuan County to gather, which must also be related to the source of this misunderstanding. That's true, it's really not easy to do."
"Yes. The lord has never done anything wrong to the people. How did their misunderstanding come from?"
Qin Yining said: "I was also very puzzled, but that happened at the time, and I couldn't stay there any longer. I just wanted to talk about it when we went. In addition, I accidentally showed my face and went back to Danfu County. You also need to dress up so that no one can see it."
Pang Xiao patted Qin Yining's cheek, "I'm not afraid, those people don't dare to stare at you, besides, when we arrive in Danfu County, you dress more luxuriously and your makeup has changed, which is quite different from the current plain makeup. , they can't recognize it. Besides, even if they recognize it, they are ordinary people, so what can they say?"
"That's true." Qin Yining said with relief, "I was too nervous, I tried to be perfect in everything, but it was also my negligence at the time, I didn't care about wearing a hat."
Pang Xiao shook his head with a smile, "The information you have inquired has been very useful. At least we know how the people of Danford County feel about me. I just don't know where I caused the public anger. I made these people so resentful."
"This is probably what we need to find out."
Xie Yue said: "According to the old man, let's set off immediately. Let's explore Cheng Zhixian's tone first. This person has a close relationship with the Lu family, and I always feel that we can get some clues from him."
Pang Xiao agreed, "Mr. Xie said yes. Let's leave the camp later."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
Qin Yining and Ji Yun went to Pang Xiao's tent and changed into a luxurious navy blue skirt. Their long hair was pulled up high and secured with a silver flower head. Qin Yining felt that this was too quiet, so he put on a pearl headband and The suet white jade bracelet will not break the rules of filial piety, but also shows the dignity of identity at a glance.
After slightly changing the shape of the eyebrows, slanting the tail of the eyebrows, and using the red peony flower lip balm on the lips, the whole popularity has improved, and the appearance of the commoner Jingchai in business is already different.
Ji Yun also changed back to his usual attire, and after helping Qin Yining out, Pang Xiao had the tent tidied up, and then boarded the same carriage with Qin Yining.
The prince's trip was intentional, and it was naturally huge. In addition to Jinghu Guard, Pang Xiao also brought dozens of guards from the palace. Several carriages were lined up one after another. Jinghu guards escorted the carriage, followed by the guards of the palace behind the carriage.
The journey went very smoothly, and by the afternoon, the team was approaching Danfu County.
Pang Xiao arranged for someone to go to the city to inform Cheng Zhi County, and the rest of the people repaired in place.
After an hour, the city gates opened wide.
Tang Xiu said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the people in the city came out to greet you."
Pang Xiao lifted the curtain of the car, and Qin Yining also leaned out to look out.
I saw that the open city gate was crowded with people, and the common people were crowded to look out.
Pang Xiao chuckled lightly: "Cheng Zhixian can be regarded as a good commander. In an hour, all the people in the city can be mobilized to greet him, which shows the appeal of Cheng Zhixian."
Qin Yining smiled, "So I can mobilize it in this matter, but I can't do it well in the matter of building the imperial mausoleum and recruiting the people. I don't know who is behind this."
While talking, I saw that the people in the city started to riot, and then a sergeant came from behind the crowd. The people Moses generally gave way to both sides, and a group of people walked quickly from the city.
The leading man stood at a young age, with a medium stature and elegant appearance. He was a typical white-faced scholar. He was wearing a green official robe with a collar and an oriole patch on his chest. As he walked, he gradually smiled and bowed respectfully.
"Cheng Jun, magistrate of Danfu County, along with the county magistrate and elders of this county, are here to welcome Prince Zhongshun!" Cheng Zhixian reported his name, and he respectfully saluted him.
Behind him, the county magistrate, the master, the elders, and the common people all saluted and shouted in unison, "Your Highness, a thousand years! A thousand thousand years!"
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining glanced at each other, then got off the carriage first, and stepped forward to help each other with a smile: "Cheng Zhixian has to be so polite. Everyone please get up too."
Qin Yining got off the station and settled down, and also walked slowly behind Pang Xiao under the service of Ji Yun and the guards.
Cheng Zhixian thanked him respectfully, raised his eyes to see Qin Yining, and immediately saluted again: "I have seen the princess."
Qin Yining smiled gently, "No gift."
After getting closer, Qin Yining noticed a familiar face among the elders behind Cheng Zhixian.
It was the elder who had clashed with her in the street yesterday.
Qin Yining stood with her eyes down with her face unchanged, showing the princess's nobility and dignity to the fullest.
The people behind Cheng Zhixian were still a little curious. They wanted to raise their eyes to observe, but they lowered their heads cowardly when they met Pang Xiao's smiling but sharp gaze.
