Chapter 228 The gold-finding team!
At this moment, Shen Lanxi felt extremely sad and resentful.
“I told you not to enter the city, don’t enter the city, why didn’t you listen!”
“This was definitely a purposeful and planned assassination, otherwise it wouldn’t have happened. You were assassinated as soon as you entered Xiling City. It's obvious that the assassins have already targeted us and know our whereabouts very well!"
"Master Cao sacrificed his life to save the princess. Although he understands his righteousness, he cannot hide it! His dereliction of duty.”
"If he hadn't insisted on entering the city, the peace mission would not have been assassinated. It was clear that trouble could be nipped in the bud, but he wanted to send the peace mission to a dead end!"
"This general will definitely report it. The imperial court impeached Cao Ziling for acting on his own initiative, disobeying orders, and pursuing pleasure. As for whether the imperial court will convict him of collaborating with the enemy, it depends on His Majesty's will!"
Shen Lanxi said from the front, while Xiao Fang and others were looking down. He pursed his lips and snickered.
If they hadn’t done it last night, they would have believed it!
Xiling City officials heard what Shen Lanxi said and immediately begged for mercy and flattery.
Shen Lanxi made some excuses with them, and then sighed: "I know you are all innocent. You also saw Princess Fengjia arriving and wanted to join the landlord's friendship. After that, I will say a few nice words to the court and His Majesty. , you are also the victims of this assassination incident!"
Yesterday, the officials of Xiling City looked down upon Shen Lanxi with contempt. When they met her today, they were so shocked by her impeccable appearance that they did not dare to breathe.
“The marriage mission suffered too much this time, and the guards we just recruited suffered a lot of casualties. Should you, Xiling City, send officers and soldiers to escort us to the northwest, or should we recruit some military personnel to escort us in Xiling City, you yourself "Discuss."
Shen Yuanjing promptly reminded: "General, let's go see the princess first. I just heard from the imperial doctor that the princess was very frightened, and I don't know if it will delay the trip!"
Xiao Da shouted: "It's written in the imperial edict. If you delay your trip, you will be punished by the nine tribes!"
Shen Lanxi scanned around the officials without leaving any trace. Not long after they left, someone came to contact Shen Yuanjing and others.
"The general is really clever. He gave me five thousand taels of silver notes just now!"
"The county magistrate gave me a box of gold."
"The prefect gave me a gift. I..."
Everyone around Shen Lanxi was stuffed with generous gifts!
Shen Lanxi smiled and said: "Stretch them for a while. When they come to you again, you can figure it out yourself."
Xiao Fang put down the gold.
Shen Lanxi: "No need to give it to me. This is what they gave to you as a courtesy. Take it!"
Xiao Fang refused: "General, use this money to buy food!"
Shen Lanxi smiled mysteriously and said: "Am I still short of this? I didn't get enough last night. From here to the northwest, there are so many cities, aren't they enough for my gold-touching team?"
Gold team?
A few people thought about the things they moved back last night, and then thought about the name. It was indeed very appropriate.
The reply from the court was very fast this time.
"...Cao Ziling made his own decision, causing the marriage mission to suffer heavy losses. He could not escape the blame. He wanted to protect Princess Juanhe with his life and spare the lives of his family. All the men in the family over fifteen years old were sent to the army, and the rest were sent to the army. Exiled to Dongchuan and enslaved by armored men..."
"In view of the heavy casualties of the peace mission, Shen Lanxi is specially ordered to continue to hire guards locally. Once the guards are hired, they will quickly go to the northwest without any mistakes..."
Shen Lanxi accepted the imperial edict and swept towards everyone.
“Continue to recruit guards!”
No one dared to object, and the marriage delegation obeyed the arrangements honestly.
Two days later, we will continue our journey.
Zhou Yunyue sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window with a numb expression. Suddenly someone pushed my wrist.
"Princess, here we come!" The palace maid said in an urgent voice.
Zhou Yunyue came back to her senses, immediately took out the silk handkerchief in her hand, and threw it aside with force.
"Oh, my silk handkerchief~" "Yuan Jing, go and get it for me!"
Shen Yuanjing was patrolling, and when he heard Zhou Yunyue's voice, he decided to The horse galloped over.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yunyue pointed to the back and said: "My silk handkerchief was blown over there by the wind. It was given to me by the Queen, so I can't lose it."
"Yuan Jing, go and pick it up for me!"
Shen Yuanjing saw her standing up on the carriage and didn't want to cause more trouble.
“You wait!”
Zhou Yunyue raised a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Shen Yuanjing felt that these words were weird, frowned twice, and didn't care.
Turn the horse's head around and walk back for a while. I actually saw a silk handkerchief. After taking it, I stuffed it into the carriage and then drove the horse to continue patrolling!
Zhou Yunyue looked at Shen Yuanjing's leaving figure for a while, then looked away and whispered: "Where is my box?"
Zi Lan: "It's in your dressing box."< br>
Zhou Yunyue raised the corners of her mouth with cold eyes.
The farther northwest you go, the further away the inns are. Except for Xiling, you didn’t see a single inn after walking for two days. The marriage delegation was forced to sleep in the wild for two days!
It’s time to set up camp again.
"Yuan Jing, I'm afraid there are bugs inside, please come and check it for me!" Zhou Yunyue asked the palace maid to find an excuse to call Shen Yuanjing.
No matter how careless Shen Yuanjing was, he still noticed something was wrong.
"Princess, please call me Master Shen, or Shen Xianfeng." It was a strange name to call him, and they were not familiar with him.
Zhou Yunyue poured a cup of tea for Shen Yuanjing: "We are relatives. You call me Uncle Father. I am a few months older than you. In an ordinary family, you should call me cousin!"
The hair on Shen Yuanjing's body stood up when Zhou Yunyue said that. Didn't she always shout that she was a princess before?
Why did you change your gender and talk to these untouchables?
“I checked, no problem, I’m leaving!”
Seeing that he was leaving, Zhou Yunyue quickly stuffed the tea into his hand.
"You have helped me so much, drink a cup of tea. I brought this tea from the palace. It tastes sweet and fragrant. Try it quickly!"
Shen Yuanjing looked at it and stuffed it into his hand. The teacup inside cannot be put down, nor can it be drunk!
"...Okay, from now on, if you have anything to do, just call the guards. I'm very busy. Small things like catching bugs can be done by calling the guards or palace ladies!" Shen Yuanjing raised his head and drank the tea. , put down the teacup and turned around to leave!
Zhou Yunyue quickly grabbed him.
"Yuan Jing, don't leave in a hurry!"
Shen Yuanjing felt dizzy and felt bad. As soon as he took a step forward, his eyesight went dark!
Zhou Yunyue looked at the person lying on the ground, sneered and scolded: "You two idiots, why don't you hurry up and help lift the person to the bed."
The two palace maids quickly bowed their heads. He moved his head hard to move Shen Yuanjing.
……
"Yuan Kun, have you seen Yuan Jing?" Shen Yuanxu asked.
"No, was he called by the general?"
Shen Yuanxu: "No, I just came from the general!"
"Strange, eating Where have you gone?”

"General, it's not good, go and have a look quickly!" Xiao Fang hurriedly found Shen Lanxi and said to her in a low voice.
