Chapter 27 Play around?
"Did I kill someone?"
Jiang Qingqing murmured.
Jiang Yu felt bad too. He knew this was probably Jiang Qingqing's first time holding a knife. "Princess, leave this kind of thing to me from now on. You don't need to force yourself."
Suddenly I hated my own weakness.
I can't even protect Jiang Qingqing.
Jiang Qingqing denied his words, "No force, this is the only way for us to escape this pursuit without getting hurt."
As long as Liu Xubai was seriously injured, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion would not abandon him.
They will have a chance to escape.
The area behind them was deserted, with no horses chasing them. Jiang Qingqing said to Jiang Yu, "I want to go to the river to wash."
Jiang Yu nodded and rode his horse towards the water source.
When the two of them rode their horses to the stream, they discovered that many people had appeared here without them noticing.
They settled here with their families.
Jiang Qingqing was a little surprised. Where did so many people come from in such a remote place?
He carefully hid his bloody hands in his sleeves, but they were still discovered by the sharp-eyed child.
The child was frightened and screamed:
"Mom, there's blood on her hands! The bad guys are coming to get us!"
By the stream, the people who were minding their own business looked up in fear when they heard the child's scream.
Some of the timid ones have already grabbed their bags and run away.
"Who are you?"
Huangshan, who had some say in the garrison, stood up.
He stopped Jiang Qingqing from walking towards the stream.
Since the blood on her hands had been discovered, Jiang Qingqing simply exposed her hands and said, "I just need some water to wash my hands."
Huangshan looked the two outsiders up and down.
After seeing that they didn't seem to have any ill intentions, he said, "After you wash, leave. Don't disturb our lives."
Jiang Qingqing nodded.
I picked an open space and washed my hands.
Jiang Yu, who was guarding them, said uncertainly, "From their accents, they seem to be from Xuzhou."
Jiang Qingqing was puzzled: "Weizhou? Weizhou has not been conquered by the enemy yet, so why are they here?"
Seeing that Jiang Qingqing had finished washing her hands, Jiang Yu helped her up.
Speaking fluent Xuzhou dialect, he said to Huangshan, who had been watching them the entire time, "Something happened in Xuzhou? Why is everyone rushing to the capital?"
As soon as Huangshan heard the familiar accent of his hometown, the vigilance in his eyes instantly diminished a lot.
Seeing that they were both well-dressed, I thought they must be people of some status.
Then he began to pour out his bitter water:
"You are from the capital, right? Where are you going?"
"Alas, you don't know that Weizhou is simply uninhabitable nowadays."
"Ever since Yingzhou was defeated, the people of Yingzhou have been desperately trying to squeeze into Weizhou. Weizhou is such a small place, and it has both the army and refugees, not to mention those useless local officials."
"They asked each refugee from Yingzhou to pay 100 taels of silver as resettlement fee."
"People, seeking a safe haven, gave up everything they had and entered Xuzhou. What did they do when they were penniless? They could only kill, injure, rob, and commit all sorts of evil..."
"We can't survive in Xuzhou anymore."
Jiang Yu looked questioning.
The governor of Xuzhou was familiar with him and was a kind person. He would never do anything to harm the people.
"Are the local officials you're talking about from the Xuzhou Governor's Office?"
Jiang Yu asked aloud.
Huang Shan was about to speak when his wife stopped him.
"Don't say too much..."
Madam Huangshan stood up from the reeds and apologized on Huangshan's behalf, saying, "You two nobles should leave as soon as possible. We ordinary people dare not interfere in the affairs of the court. Don't worry about what he said just now."
After Jiang Yu and the other two left, Mrs. Huang Shan slapped Huang Shan on the arm and scolded him:
"Are you trying to save your life? You've revealed everything without even knowing the other party's details. The new governor is the Empress Dowager's man."
"Even if those two are from prominent families in the capital, how can they compare to the Empress Dowager?"
"After saying so much to them, do you still expect them to come and tidy up Xuzhou?"
Huang Shan looked embarrassed when his wife scolded him.
Explained:
"Well, I was just chatting for a while. I have ten grain shops in Xuzhou. That's most of my life savings."
Mrs. Huangshan interrupted:
"Okay, in this chaotic world, if you still think about your shop, you're lucky to be alive."
"Tomorrow you can gather some silver and see if the gatekeepers of the capital can let us in."
...
After washing their hands, Jiang Qingqing and Jiang Yu set off again.
Jiang Qingqing looked back at the stream that was gradually moving away behind her, feeling uneasy.
"Do you think what they say is true?"
Jiang Yu was not sure. If it was the governor of Xuzhou or Xu Jifeng, then those words must be false.
Unable to bear the thought of analyzing the problem completely, Jiang Yu could only console him: "Let's take it one step at a time. We will eventually have to pass through Xuzhou."

【high seas】
On the high seas of Country L, a large cruise ship was slowly sailing towards the east.
The hall is softly lit and card tables are displayed.
The stacks of money on the table are piled up in millions. This is a world of money and power.
At the poker table, Fu Zhengnan sat at the main seat.
He leaned back in his chair, his suit neatly tailored, his expression indifferent, his slender white fingers gently twisting two playing cards. He said nothing, his sharp features tinged with obvious aloofness and indifference.
The people around him were obviously trying to please and fawn on him.
"Mr. Fu, you first?"
Fu Zhengnan did not refuse. He raised his black eyelashes slightly, glanced at the person who spoke, and threw the cards in his hand onto the table.
"I heard that Mr. Wang also wants to get involved in the Country L project?"
It was clearly an extremely light tone.
But Mr. Wang, whose name was called, felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.
"Haha... Mr. Fu, you're joking. Let's not talk about this tonight, let's just have some fun. When the people from Country L arrive tomorrow, we'll still need Mr. Fu's help."
As Mr. Wang spoke, he gave his assistant a look.
Several tall women in revealing clothes came over, holding wine glasses and twisting their waists. They circled around Fu Zhengnan, and the brave ones put their hands on the table beside them and started dancing.
"Mr. Fu...want to play?"
Mr. Wang looked at Fu Zhengnan's indifferent expression and reminded him.
This is the beauty he had people pick from all over the place recently. He himself was reluctant to touch her, just wanting to use her to please Fu Zhengnan.
It is said that the prince of the Fu Group is a dull person.
But seriously, as a man, who can resist an active and beautiful woman?
"You, go and serve Mr. Fu."
Mr. Wang pointed out the most charming one.
His words made the expression of Special Assistant Zhang standing behind Fu Zhengnan turn gloomy instantly.
Mr. Wang really likes to stir up trouble. If you just talk about cooperation quietly, won’t the deal be done?
Originally, the Fu family was planning to get the Wang family involved, otherwise they wouldn't have arrived a day earlier.
It's okay now.
He killed himself.
