Chapter 179 Disaster in Yuzhou

When he returned to the Duke's Mansion, Pei Jingchuan was preparing to go out with an anxious look on his face.

"Husband!" As soon as Xu Qingyan got off the carriage, she saw Pei Jingchuan walking down the steps, and she called out gently.

Pei Jingchuan looked up, and the anxiety on his face relaxed a little. He said worriedly: "I was just about to go to the palace! Today, I went out of the city to do some business, and then I found out that the emperor summoned you and Jin Yu to the palace. What happened?"

"Brother, we are fine! We are just going to testify for His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin." At this time, Pei Jinyu and the Prince of Qin also slowly got off the carriage.

They told Pei Jingchuan in detail how the Sixth Prince's wife had framed the King of Qin.

"He has already been banished to the imperial mausoleum, yet he is still causing trouble!" Pei Jingchuan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

Then, he looked at the King of Qin and said, "Your Highness, when I was doing business outside the city today, I saw refugees coming from Yuzhou. After asking, I learned that Yuzhou was hit by a severe drought and they had never received any relief from the court. I'm afraid there is something wrong with Yuzhou. I have already settled those refugees. I would like to discuss this with Your Highness. This may become one of Your Highness's achievements."

Now, although the King of Qin was crowned king, not many people in the court supported him, and he had never made any military achievements. If Pei Jingchuan wanted to support the King of Qin to ascend to the throne, he had to let him make military achievements.

"Okay." The King of Qin nodded in agreement.

After the two entered the Duke's Mansion, they began to discuss.

——The next day——

In the court, the Prince of Qin reported the matter of the refugees in Yuzhou to the Emperor. The Emperor was furious and decided on the spot to send the Prince of Qin and Pei Jingchuan to investigate and resolve the matter.

Originally, Prince Yu also wanted to request to go along, because he also wanted to make some achievements to consolidate his position.

However, the emperor rejected his request, so he had to recommend Pei Jingyuan to go with him, a request that the emperor did not refuse.

——Prince Yu’s Mansion——

Prince Yu called Pei Jingyuan to his study, looked at him gloomily and said, "Pei Jingyuan, this opportunity was fought for you by me. Yuzhou is far away, and if you can make achievements this time, you will have a high chance of being promoted when you come back. And Prince Qin and Pei Jingchuan, you must find a way to get rid of them and let them stay in Yuzhou forever. The Sixth Prince is completely useless now, and the Crown Prince is even more incompetent. If Prince Qin is gone, the other princes are too young now. In the future, as long as your father is in poor health, then I will be the only choice."

Pei Jingyuan naturally understood what Prince Yu meant, and he was also full of expectations. He clasped his hands together and bowed to agree: "Yes, thank you for your appreciation! I will definitely do my best, but I want you to give me some manpower help."

After all, harming Prince Qin and Pei Jingchuan is not just talk, what he needs is help.

Prince Yu naturally did not refuse. He threw a token to Pei Jingyuan and said, "These are my private soldiers. This time I will have them disguised as refugees and follow you. I will also send you a few secret guards. Before you kill the King of Qin and his men, they can obey your orders at will."

Pei Jingyuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yu!"

This time, he would never let Pei Jingchuan come back alive from Yuzhou!

——British Mansion——

After Pei Jingchuan left the court, he told Xu Qingyan and his mother about his plan to go to Yuzhou with the King of Qin.

"By the way! This time, my second brother will go with us. There will be three of us. The court has also allocated a lot of disaster relief grain and asked us to take it along." Pei Jingchuan looked at the Duke's wife and the others and said seriously.

"When are you leaving, and how long will it take?" The Duke's wife asked with concern, and Xu Qingyan was also listening carefully beside her.

"We should leave around tomorrow. How long we'll be gone depends on when the problem can be resolved. I'm not sure." Pei Jingchuan frowned.

This time, the main purpose is to catch officials in Yuzhou for corruption, but Yuzhou has always been a remote place, and those officials must have deep roots in the local area, so it may not be so easy for them to get there.

"Husband, can I go with you?" At this time, Xu Qingyan looked at him seriously.

Xu Qingyan thought: [Husband, you must take me with you this time! Yuzhou is not a simple place. The prince's maternal grandfather and his family are like local emperors there. If I hadn't gone there to remind you, you would have been fooled by them! You should know that in the original book, the emperor assigned King Yu and Pei Jingyuan to go together. As a result, after arriving there, King Yu was almost bribed by them, and Pei Jingyuan was almost killed. Fortunately, Pei Jingyuan met another confidante in his life, which saved his life and made great contributions. ]

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingchuan thought: He knew that Yuzhou was not simple, but he didn't expect that he was so complicated that Pei Jingyuan almost lost his life?

"Husband, I stayed in Yuzhou for a period of time when I was a child, so I am naturally familiar with the place. Just take me with you!" Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan didn't speak for a long time, then she said coquettishly again.

When she was a child, her mother was divorced. In order to avoid the gossip of others, she took her to live in the faraway Yuzhou.

"Since you want to go, then come with me." Pei Jingchuan finally reacted and nodded in agreement.

He thought that Qingyan always knew things that others didn't know. If he let her go with him, it might really be of great help to him.

Xu Qingyan cheered in her heart: [Now we can go to Yuzhou! This time, we must stop Pei Jingyuan from meeting his confidante, otherwise if that woman is with Pei Jingyuan, there will be endless troubles. This woman knows witchcraft, and will be a great help to Pei Jingyuan in the future. She has a love brain and is completely devoted to Pei Jinyu. Even in the later period, if Pei Jingyuan asked her to kill someone, she would do it without hesitation or blinking. Such a capable woman must be strangled in the cradle. Otherwise, cannon fodder like me and my husband will really become cannon fodder! ]

At this moment, Pei Jingchuan was puzzled. Why did God always give Pei Jingyuan so many benefits in the world that Qingyan complained about? If it was really like what Qingyan said, he must first find that confidante and kill her. Just based on the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, he couldn't let her live well.

The Duke's wife and Pei Jinyu, who were standing by, were worried when they heard Xu Qingyan's complaints, but when they saw Xu Qingyan following, they naturally did not object.

However, the Duke's wife did not forget to remind Pei Jingchuan: "Jingchuan, Qingyan is a girl. You are traveling so fast, you must take good care of her!"

Pei Jingchuan heard this, Xu Qingyan was his only wife in this life, how could he not take good care of her, so he nodded and said: "Don't worry, mother, your son will definitely protect Qingyan well."

——The next day——

Everyone in the Duke's Mansion came out to see Pei Jingchuan and his friends off. Many people saw Xu Qingyan also going to Yuzhou with the young master, and they couldn't help but sigh at the beautiful love between the couple.
