The old village chief insisted that Feng Xi'er and Xiaodou stay for dinner. And introduce her to all the villagers.
"This Miss Feng is the savior of our refugee village. Let's toast Miss Feng." The old village chief took out the fine wine that he had collected for a long time to entertain Feng Xi'er. Most of the villagers were honest and kind, and they were all very grateful to Feng Xi'er. He kindly saved the two brothers Chanzhen. They all gathered together to toast her.
Feng Xi'er didn't make any excuses, because she wasn't good at drinking, so she drank a glass of wine and stopped drinking. The villagers made delicious dishes to celebrate the resolution of the plague. Chanzhen couldn't speak, so she kept picking up food for Feng Xier.
A simple and honest villager laughed and said, "Thanks to Miss Feng, we haven't had such good food in a long time."
The old village chief also said: "The place is simple and there is no good food to serve. Don't be offended if you invite Miss Feng."
Feng Xi'er looked at the wild vegetables, bean sprouts, tofu, and fish soup on the table. These dishes may not seem like much to the people of the Tianlong Dynasty, but to the people in these refugee villages, they are delicacies.
"Chanzhen is my friend. The old village chief doesn't have to be so polite in the future," Feng Xi'er said grandly, and also put food in Chanzhen's bowl.
After dinner, Feng Xi'er had to rush back. Before leaving, Feng Xi'er gave all the money she had to the old village chief, but the old village chief refused to accept it, "We can hardly repay Miss Feng's great kindness. , how can I collect your money?"
"Use the money to buy some sows and raise them, or raise some livestock. Stop hunting birds and eat them. Tell the villagers not to eat dead animals. Although Chanyu's illness is stable, he still needs treatment. Everyone still needs to pay attention. , after all, you should accept what you eat. I am a young lady from a wealthy family in China. I have plenty of money. I am happy to help you. I believe that if you are so united, you will be able to overcome poverty."
The old village chief wanted to kneel down to Feng Xi'er again, but Feng Xi'er supported him, "Okay, I'll accept your thanks. It's getting dark, so I have to rush back. I'll see you again when I have the opportunity."
Chanzhen rushed over and gave Feng Xi'er a hug, and wrote on Feng Xi'er's hand that good people have a safe life.
Feng Xi'er touched Chanzhen's hair and said to the old village chief: "Old village chief, buy a pair of shoes for Chanzhen. I think her shoes are rotten."
Chanzhen was moved, with tears in her eyes. Feng Xier patted her shoulder: "Chanzhen, I will come to see you often in the future, and I will find a way to cure your brother's illness."
Chanzhen nodded heavily.
The old village chief gave Feng Xi'er a horse. Fortunately, Feng Xi'er had learned to ride a horse in modern times and had good skills. The old village chief and Chanzhen sent Feng Xi'er out to watch her leave.
Halfway through the journey, it suddenly started to drizzle again, and the night was cold and windy. Feng Xi'er found an abandoned house in the woods, so she went inside to keep warm. The two chatted.
"Miss, you are becoming more and more like a heroine. When did you learn to ride a horse?" Xiao Tudou looked at Feng Xi'er with admiration.
Feng Xi'er nodded with satisfaction and teased: "I learned it in my dream."
The drizzle fell for a while and then stopped. Feng Xi'er went to lead the horse, and suddenly she heard the sound of horse racing in front of her. There were people. Feng Xi'er huddled behind a big tree, and someone shouted: "Your Highness, wait for your humble position."
Your Highness? Could it be the prince
Feng Xi'er looked around and saw a man riding a horse out of the hidden woods from a distance. She said to herself, "It's really boring. I can deceive the captain of the guard every time I use this trick."
I couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, but I could feel his extraordinary temperament.
Feng Xi'er asked Xiaodou in a low voice: "Is that the prince?"
Xiaodou raised his neck and looked carefully, then nodded and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned from Shaolin Temple."
Feng Xi'er smiled evilly. The son born by the queen's poisonous woman should not be much better. With such a good opportunity, she must punish the prince.
Feng Xi'er took out her slingshot, grabbed a small stone on the ground, pointed it at the horse's butt, pulled it hard, and roared. A horse brayed in the dark night. The horse lost control. The prince was not careful and almost flung himself out, but it was a critical moment. I still tightened the horse rope and clamped my thighs without falling off, but the baggage was thrown out.
Feng Xi'er's eyes lit up when she looked at the baggage on the ground, she got rich.
He picked up stones again, pointed them at the horse's butt and flicked them again. This time, the horse went crazy, neighed and ran wildly.
The horse's cry alerted the captain of the Iron Guard who had rushed ahead. He reined in his horse and turned back, shouting: "Your Highness, what happened?"
The prince's horse ran for a while and was finally subdued. The prince said to the captain of the iron guard: "No, there is an ambush."
Feng Xi'er covered her mouth and snickered, picked up the baggage on the ground, jumped on the horse, sat behind Xiao Tudou, and rode towards the path on the right.
Long Ba looked from a distance and saw the back of a graceful girl gradually disappearing from his eyes.
"No need to chase." Long Ba stopped the Iron Guard Captain, "His Royal Highness was tricked by a woman."
The Iron Guard Captain looked around cautiously and said, "Your Highness, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better to leave as soon as possible."
Long Ba nodded, and the horse turned around and ran wildly. The captain of the Iron Guard followed closely behind.
Feng Xi'er left the horse tied up in the stable before returning home.
In the backyard of Feng Mansion, Feng Xi'er opened her bag after washing and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, your highness, the Crown Prince, is so poor, what kind of crap are these?"
There was only one hundred silver taels in a baggage and a piece of tattered copper like a big windmill.
Xiaodou quickly covered Feng Xi'er's mouth: "My eldest lady, do you know that the crimes you have committed are not enough to cut off your head?"
Feng Xier pretended to be innocent and said, "What crime have I committed?"
Xiaodou told Feng Xi'er one by one: "The queen was tricked into marrying her nephew, the gambling bureau was set on fire, and the prince was robbed..." Xiaodou covered her mouth and ran to the window to check again. After completing the check, she said to Feng Xi'er in a serious tone. Xi'er said: "This is really dangerous. I really hope that the young lady can marry the Tenth Prince and live a peaceful life as a husband and a child. And from my perspective, the Tenth Prince treats the young lady very well."
Feng Xi'er sighed. In this imperial society, she could not marry whomever she wanted. Many times, it is out of control. She understood Xiaotuo's worries. Feng Xi'er became irritable when she thought about entering the palace the day after tomorrow. That place that eats people without spitting out their bones, a paradise for women to hone their acting skills, is going to act with a bunch of Sanba. It's really tiring.
What she was more worried about was that the Dog Emperor might give her to Long Qi.
Xiaodou could see what her young lady was thinking, and grabbed Feng Xi'er's hand to comfort her: "Miss, don't be afraid, I will accompany you into the palace, as long as the lady stays obedient and doesn't mess around."
Feng Xi'er nodded, felt warm in her heart, and fell asleep peacefully.
On the other hand, the prince hurried back to the capital and did not go back to the palace directly. Instead, he went to find Long Shi. Long Shi had already laid out good wine for his starling, and made an appointment with Long Liu and Long Qi. It was a rare occasion for the four brothers to get together for a drink.
Long Shi poured wine for the prince and looked at his myna excitedly. He couldn't help but admired: "Ah, we haven't seen each other for two years, and myna is becoming more and more manly."
Long Ba raised his head and drank it all, and replied with a smile: "Xiao Shi is still as glib as ever."
Long Shi laughed and then drank.
