Chapter 76: God has love, but not much

The journey went quite smoothly for several days.

Jiang Ruo stretched lazily in the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to Qin Zhen: "Guard Qin, when can we enter Jizhou?"

"Madam Xiao, if nothing unexpected happens, we can enter Jizhou tomorrow." Qin Zhen's voice revealed a hint of joy when he said this.

Jiang Ruo looked at Qin Zhen's smug expression and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Let's go find a place to stay the night up ahead!"

Not only are you anxious, I am anxious too!

There will be a drought in Jizhou, so it would be better to arrive early to deal with it.

Now think about it, since she came here, she has experienced weddings, exile, and the current drought.

It remains to be seen what will happen in the future.

Alas, God has love, but not much.

Looking at Jizhou who was "so close", the happiest people were Qin Zhen and his friends.

Qin Zhen thought proudly: Look, as long as this woman doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, they will have a smooth journey.

Haha, we are finally getting to Jizhou.

He could now imagine that with this woman around, the good days of Jizhou's prefects and county magistrates would be over.

Jiang Ruo: I am the Queen of Jizhou.

The sun sets.

They arrived at a town and checked into an inn.

After Jiang Ruo got off the carriage, he saw An Yi riding a horse towards him.

He caught up so quickly, could it be that the issue in Shengzhou has been resolved perfectly?

An Yi pulled the reins and dismounted, "I greet my master. Everything about Shengzhou has been settled. You can rest assured!"

Jiang Ruo curled the corners of her lips when she heard this, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

This time we have caused trouble for the dog emperor, he will definitely not let it go!

Maybe the killers are already in place.

It doesn’t matter, we will fight against the enemy with our soldiers and block the water with earth.

After dinner.

An Yi reported to Jiang Ruo in detail what had happened recently in Shengzhou.

Yun Zhongan has received the imperial edict from Xiao Junze, reappointing him as the prefect of Shengzhou.

Chu Wenqian and Master Xue were punished for multiple crimes, their homes were confiscated, and they were exiled to a cold and miserable place.

During the few days in the cell, Chu Wenqian and Master Xue had their legs broken by the two bald village leaders.

Because the bandits pointed out that Chu Wenqian was colluding with officials and returned the stolen goods, they were spared the death penalty and all exiled to a cold and bitter place.

They knew very well that even if they were not beheaded, whether they could reach the place of exile alive depended entirely on fate.

According to the laws of the Dayan Dynasty, all those evil bullies who committed numerous crimes were beheaded in public.

After listening to An Yi's report, Jiang Ruo nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, this result is basically consistent with what I expected.

Of course, Jiang Ruo, who instigated this incident, also won unanimous praise from the people of Shengzhou.

Finally, An Yi stated that the secret guards protecting Nangong Mansion were already in place.

After hearing this, Jiang Ruo felt very happy.

Apart from anything else, the people under Xiao Chengjin are really good.

"Okay, go and rest early!"

An Yi bowed and clasped his fists, saying, "I'll take my leave!"

After Jiang Ruo returned to the room humming a little tune, she lay on the small couch and praised Xiao Chengjin.

He said a lot of things like he was wise and brave, and he knew how to use people well...

Xiao Chengjin knew that Jiang Ruo's words were just compliments, but he still couldn't help feeling happy.

It was his honor to be praised by Ruo Ruo.

He moved his fingers secretly to indicate that he heard it.

Their hands were very close, and Xiao Chengjin's fingers accidentally touched Jiang Ruo's hand.

Jiang Ruo: "......?"

Well, she had reason to suspect that this guy had the potential to be a tyrant.

But if you think about it, you can understand it.

Even the most talented children need encouragement.

Jiang Ruo turned sideways and stared straight at the angular profile.

Handsome man, I hope you wake up soon!

Xiao Chengjin's scalp tingled when he was stared at by Jiang Ruo.

Perhaps because she was tired from traveling, Jiang Ruo slowly fell asleep.

Xiao Chengjin listened to the shallow breathing beside his ears and moved his body slightly.

In the dim candlelight, he stared at the face in front of him for a long time with deep eyes...

The next morning.

Jiang Ruo stretched and realized something was wrong before she opened her eyes.

How come her legs were... resting on Xiao Chengjin's legs?

Oh my god, isn’t this bullying a vegetative person?

Jiang Ruo quietly retracted her legs and her cheeks blushed unconsciously.

She thought bitterly in her heart: She said she didn't mean it, can Xiao Chengjin believe it?

"Golden Thighs", I really don't mean to offend you.

Jiang Ruo rubbed her slightly hot cheeks, put on her clothes, and left the room without looking back.

It was an awkward moment early in the morning.

Xiao Chengjin listened to the sound of the door closing, and his tense body slowly relaxed.

Fortunately, Ruoruo went out, otherwise I would have been embarrassed.

.......

After breakfast, Qin Zhen and his companions did not urge them to come, but quietly mounted their horses and waited outside the inn.

The meaning is clear: stop wasting time, it's time to set off.

Jiang Ruo glanced at them and got on the carriage directly.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to enter Jizhou today. They must be very happy!

Oh, it was really not easy for them along the way.

On the way, Jiang Ruo lifted the carriage curtain and said jokingly, "Guard Qin, we can return to the capital soon to report. Aren't you excited?"

Qin Zhen coughed lightly in embarrassment when he heard this.

"Replying to Madam Xiao, we do miss our family in the capital."

Report back?

After returning to Beijing, brothers, just prepare to be punished!

Perhaps because they were about to complete their mission, the guards became more talkative.

The group chatted and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

An Yi looked at the mountains and forests not far away and keenly sensed a vague murderous aura.

Oh no, there is a killer lying in ambush there.

After he raised his right hand and made a "stop" gesture, everyone hurriedly pulled the reins of the horses.

Jiang Ruo: "......?"

Why did you stop?

There won’t be any assassins ahead!

An Yi dismounted, walked quickly to the carriage, and said with a fist: "Master, there should be an assassin ambushing in the forest ahead."

Jiang Ruo lifted the car curtain, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Wait a moment, leave one alive."

Several secret guards clasped their fists and said in unison, "Yes, Master."

Qin Zhen and the others pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between the master and servant, and then glanced at each other secretly.

Brothers, the dog emperor has sent killers again.

Leave the battlefield to them and we will retreat.

Qin Zhen looked at the carriages behind him and said to Jiang Ruo, "Madam Xiao, I will protect them later. You can start killing as much as you want."

Jiang Ruo nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Zhen and his companions led Steward Lin and his companions to retreat, while Jiang Ruo and his companions faced the enemy head-on.

The carriage moved towards the forest, and Jiang Ruo quickly put Xiao Chengjin into the space.

The next moment, the sharp voice of the little phoenix came from Jiang Ruo's sea of ​​consciousness, "Why did this bastard come in again?"

Jiang Ruo listened to the sound of the little phoenix's feathers ruffling and instantly laughed out of anger.

"Xiao Feng, be quiet and don't bully him, do you hear me?"

The little phoenix in the space looked at the motionless Xiao Chengjin, its golden eyes turned, and it said obediently: "I know, sister."

It’s good to be unconscious!

Come in once and I'll beat you once.
