"Open the city gate."
With a loud voice, the closed city gate gradually opened, and everyone slowly stepped into the city.
barren. This is the first word that comes to mind when everyone enters the city.
As far as the eye could see, all the emaciated women and children were greeted on the road, while the men were hiding behind the houses and watching all this.
"My minister, He Ying, is late to pick up the driver. I hope the sixth princess will forgive me." A woman in military uniform knelt on the ground, her shoulders trembling.
"Pingshen." Mo Qingli said lightly, "Get up and answer."
He Ying kowtowed "gratefully", "Thank you princess."
"This place has always been so poor?" Mo Qingli looked around the entire street, the strongest woman was probably not as tall as the thinnest woman in the imperial city.
"The princess doesn't know that this place is not only geographically remote, farming and labor services are not available here, but also other dynasties invade every once in a while, and the subjects live in fear every day, so it is difficult to live a prosperous life." He Ying said while saying With that, he led Mo Qingli and a group of people towards the city.
"Little San, you lead the soldiers down to rest first, and I will take the princess to the place where I live." He Ying called a woman dressed in military uniform and said.
"Yes, General." The soldier named Xiaosan stepped forward and said to Li Jing, "General Li, this way please."
Li Jing looked at Mo Qingli, and Mo Qingli nodded, "The soldiers have worked hard all the way, General Li will go to settle down the soldiers first, Mingxiang and the others, don't worry."
"Yes, that humble minister will leave first."
He Ying continued to walk forward, wherever Mo Qingli passed, the common people all cast a look of hatred towards her. Mo Qingli's eyes were slightly cold, it's so difficult that her reputation is still so notorious!
The city is not big, so they walked to the center of the city very quickly. He Ying stopped in front of a house, respectfully said to Mo Qingli with a smile: "Princess, I am wronged that you have to stay here for the time being."
"There's no reason for that." Yueyao at the side couldn't see it, and stepped forward to grab He Ying's collar, "Our princess is a rich man, how could you let her live in such a poor place, you don't want to live!"
"How dare you, sir." He Ying hurriedly asked Mo Qingli for help, "Princess, this is really the best house in this city, minister...how dare you neglect the princess!"
Seeing He Ying's mournful face, which didn't seem to be fake, Mo Qingli said to Yueyao: "Yueyao, let go."
"Yes." Yueyao reluctantly let go of He Ying's hand. She always felt that this He Ying was weird, but she couldn't tell the specifics.
"I know that the princess is coming, so I specially ordered someone to clean up the place so that the princess can move in." He Ying said flatteringly to Mo Qingli with a flattering smile on her face.
Yue Yao snorted coldly, "Since you know the princess is coming, how dare you not open the city gate."
"I really don't know. It's all because of the damn city gate guard who didn't come to inform me. Otherwise, how dare I neglect the princess and everyone. Wait a minute, I must teach the guard a lesson." He Ying's face was full of grievances.
The corners of Mo Qingli's lips curled slightly, but he didn't answer. Yue Yao also snorted coldly and said nothing.
"Princess, this is the hall," He Ying continued to introduce: "This is the wing room. Don't look at the house as a bit dilapidated, but there are so many wing rooms inside! It doesn't matter how many people live there."
"Hehe...it's really big." Yueyao sneered, "It's so big that even all the beggars in the whole city can live in it."
He Ying laughed in embarrassment, and when she was about to introduce, Yueyao interrupted her, "You go down first, the princess will summon you when something happens."
He Ying looked at Mo Qingli, Mo Qingli had an indifferent and alienated look on her face, making it hard to see what she was thinking, so He Ying could only say: "Yes, that minister will leave first."
"Princess, this He Ying is deliberately giving us a blow." Yue Yao said to Mo Qingli indignantly after seeing He Ying leave.
Mo Qingli narrowed her eyes slightly, her cherry lips parted slightly, "Investigate everything that happened after Mo Qingyu came here."
"Yes, princess."
At this time, Li Jing, who had arranged the soldiers and generals, also walked in, her face was full of displeasure.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Li Mingxiang asked Li Jing with Yu Ge's support.
Li Jing waved her hand, "Hey, don't mention it, what is it called a barracks, it's not even as good as the tent we set up on the road before."
"Princess, I think this He Ying is playing tricks on us!" Li Jing was full of displeasure, "My former subordinate was a general here, and we communicated letters a while ago, but today there is no sign of her. I see. I asked the people on the street, and the people shook their heads and said nothing. After further questioning, they all hid in the houses. When I went to the so-called military camp to ask the officers inside, they were all secretive and vague. Look again How many times have we shouted outside the city today before she, He Ying, opened the city gate. Even if something big happened, there shouldn’t be such a delay. In my humble opinion, there must be something here that we don’t know about.”
Mo Qingli looked at Li Jing appreciatively, "Then according to what General Li said, how should we deal with ourselves?"
"Yichen sees that we should keep our faces on the surface, but secretly, we need to turn our backs on customers. Investigate the root cause of all this. In Yichen's humble opinion, the root cause may have something to do with the dead princess."
After Li Jing spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, and only Mo Qingli could hear her voice. But for Nai Mo, Mu Tianlang and the others, every single word fell into their ears.
"We still need to secretly investigate everything that happened after the eldest princess came here, so that we can turn the other side and become a favorable party. Instead of being fooled by the thieves with intentions." Li Jing continued.
Mo Qingli admired Li Jing's thorough understanding of things, "What General Li said is very true. I have already sent Yueyao to investigate this matter. Please, General Li and this palace, wait here for Yueyao's response." information."
"The humble minister is reckless." Li Jing didn't expect that Mo Qingli would have thought of this a long time ago, and even sent someone to investigate before her, and her admiration for Mo Qingli was even higher.
"My minister will send someone to decorate this place first, and please wait a moment for the princess." The more she admired Mo Qingli, the more respectful Li Jing became, but she lost the casualness she had in the Mo Tian Dynasty.
On the other hand, Li Mingxiang was the same as before, but because of the assassination of the man in black, Leng Mei's departure and some things that happened later, her body could not recover properly, and she looked a little dispirited.
"Mingxiang, are you feeling better?" Mo Qingli asked with concern.
Li Mingxiang smiled, "Sister Li finally knows how to care about me. I just hope that Sister Li will care about me. As soon as you care about me, my health will recover immediately."
"Pfft... you!" Mo Qingli patted Li Mingxiang's shoulder amusedly, and then told Yu Ge who was supporting Li Mingxiang, "Yu Ge, take good care of Mingxiang."
"Yes, the sixth princess, the slave will do it."
Hearing this, Li Mingxiang looked at Yuge affectionately, but Yuge seemed a little awkward.
"It would be great if we could be like them." Mu Tianlang jumped out of nowhere at this moment, took Mo Qingli's arm, and said with a smile.
The corners of Mo Qingli's mouth twitched slightly, "Are you itchy?"
"Then do you want to scratch it for me?" Mu Tianlang said seriously, meeting Shang Mo Qingli's gaze.
Mo Qingli turned her head and said softly, "I can ask Naimo to scratch it for you."
Seeing Li Mingxiang and Yu Ge's expressions were a little embarrassed, Mo Qingli thought it was her own presence that made the newlywed couple feel embarrassed to be affectionate, and said, "You guys go down and rest first, traveling around for so many days is really hard. "
"Yes, the slave will leave."
As he spoke, Yuge supported Li Mingxiang and Li Mingxiang's father gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Father, why don't you go to rest?" Li Mingxiang said to her father who has been taking care of her wholeheartedly.
Li Mingxiang's father was a little worried, "Mingxiang, you are not in good health yet, so Daddy will stay and take care of you."
"Father, my daughter is recovering. Look, the wound is almost healed!" Li Mingxiang lifted up the wound on her left hand to show her father. In fact, it was a wound that Li Mingxiang accidentally cut before going out to fight. , but at the moment she doesn't want her father to work hard for her, not to mention, she still has something to ask Yu Ge.
Li Mingxiang's father saw that the wound on Li Mingxiang's body was almost healed, so he didn't say any more, but told Yu Ge to take good care of Li Mingxiang, let Li Mingxiang take good care of his body, and rest more. if.
After sending his father away, Li Mingxiang sat on the stool in the room, staring at Yu Ge with serious eyes.
Yuge dodged his eyes, and instead of looking at Li Mingxiang, he poured a cup of tea for Li Mingxiang, "Mingxiang, you... have some tea."
Li Mingxiang grabbed Yuge's hand, and Yuge, caught off guard, knocked over the teacup in his hand, and the tea spilled all over the floor, "Ming...Mingxiang, you...what are you doing?"
"Did you say it yourself, or do you want me to ask you?!" A look of pain appeared in Li Mingxiang's eyes, and she stared closely at Yu Ge.
Yu Ge's eyes flickered, "I... I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Don't understand?" Li Mingxiang knew that Yu Ge didn't intend to say anything, so she asked directly: "Before the expedition, you left the house several times in a sneaky manner without letting your servants follow you. What did you do?"
"I... I went to buy things for you, mother and father on the way." Yuge replied.
Li Mingxiang: "Then why don't you let the servants accompany you?"
"I'm afraid that the servants will follow and buy it badly, so..." Yu Ge seemed to have made a plan in his heart, so he answered very smoothly.
"Okay, even if I don't pursue this matter for now. When the man in black attacked, what were you doing sneakily in the woods?" Li Mingxiang stared at Yu Ge tightly, and wanted Yu Ge to tell her Facts, but afraid to know. His face was full of confusion.
Yuge raised his head in surprise and looked at Li Mingxiang.
She did not expect that Li Mingxiang actually saw it that time. If she really saw it, then things would become difficult.
