Chapter 57: 500,000 shi of grain, gone
Xie Yanyan simply looked at the panel and went back.
Xie Anfeng was still waiting for her at the dinner table, a little anxious, and said to Xie Yanyan: "It's getting late, the city gates have been closed, and we can't go out today."
"Then stay in the city for one night before leaving. We have a carriage anyway, so we can catch up tomorrow."
"good."
Xie Xiangxiang predicted that the prince might be shot to death by arrows in Xiangyang. If the prediction came true, she would definitely be implicated, after all, the prince came to convey the decree to her.
Now that the prince is dead, she will definitely become a jinx.
According to Xie Xiangxiang's memories from her previous life, Xie Yanyan had saved Zhou Shaoyu from the fate of being killed in Jin.
In the previous life, the prince went to Jin to collect Zhou Shaoyu's body, and was killed here.
In this life, he doesn't have to collect Zhou Shaoyu's body, but is sent by the emperor to announce the decree and deliver the reward to her. If he is killed, wouldn't it be her fault?
Besides, the prince looked at her differently and awarded her a token that allowed her to receive supplies for free without kneeling, which was a favor to her.
So we must save them.
The father and daughter found an inn and stayed there.
Xie Yanyan used a pill of "An Shen Pill" to exchange for a d3o god-level protection and a complete set of Wei and Jin style clothing.
After wrapping it up, she told Xie Anfeng, "I was walking around the city a few days ago and saw a foreigner with red hair and green eyes. He said his clothes were made with a secret method and were invulnerable to swords and knives. He even put them on and asked others to chop him with knives, but nothing happened. You can give it to the prince."
Xie Anfeng's first instinct was that Xie Yanyan must have been cheated.
Where in this world can you find clothes that are impervious to swords and knives?
Xie Yanyan continued, "I poked it hard with a shovel and an arrow, and it really didn't break. So I bought a set."
"How much silver did you spend?"
"I used all the money from selling soap."
Xie Anfeng sighed in his heart, silly child!
"We have to find a way to escape the crime. We can't be prisoners for the rest of our lives. Otherwise, it will be even harder to be exiled. My brother is still young, my younger brother and Ah Sheng are still young, and my sister-in-law is pregnant."
"Okay, okay, I'll send it to you. But, Yan'er, is this clothing really as useful as you said?" Xie Anfeng sighed. Originally, when they were fighting in the border areas, all the cannon fodder were those convicts.
"Give it to the prince, and you'll know after you try it, right?"
Xie Yanyan stayed in the inn, and Xie An drove the carriage to the palace again.
The prince was still in the palace, meeting with the local gentry and powerful people in Xiangyang.
Dong Liu, who was guarding the door, saw the carriage first. Hey, isn’t this the reward from His Majesty to Miss Xie?
When Xie Anfeng came forward, Dong Liu glanced into the car a few times but didn't see Xie Yanyan coming out.
He asked politely, "General Xie, what's the matter?"
Xie Anfeng took the package down from the carriage and said to Dong Liu, "My daughter and I just encountered a rare item on the road. My daughter exchanged these items for three food recipes and wanted to present them to Your Highness."
Dong Liu didn't know what the good thing was, but he was very happy that Xie Anfeng and his daughter were grateful to him.
"Thank you, General. Your Highness is meeting with the local gentry. Please wait for a moment."
Xie Anfeng waited for half an hour.
Only when the lamps were lit did those people come out of the palace talking and laughing.
Dong Liu reported to the prince that the prince had been busy ever since Xie Yanyan went back and was so tired that he felt dizzy.
Hearing Xie Anfeng coming, he perked up and said, "Please come in."
Xie Anfeng went in with the package, handed it to the prince, and explained the whole story. The prince's first impression was the same as Xie Anfeng's: Xie Yanyan was cheated!
But he was the prince, well-educated, and said to Dong Shisan beside him: "You and Dong Ba try it."
Dong Shisan held the hat in his hand and stabbed it with the dagger, but it didn't break!
The clothes were tucked in, but not torn!
Xie Anfeng said: "Yan'er told you to get dressed and try it on!"
Naturally, he wouldn't ask the prince to try it directly. What if he got killed?
Dong Shisan put on his clothes and hat with a fearless attitude, closed his eyes and said, "Come on!"
For the sake of the prince, he confessed today!
Dong Ba didn't dare to use much force the first time, and it turned out that nothing happened. Dong Shisan opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Use a little more force!"
Dong Ba used more and more force each time, until he had used up all his strength, but it was okay, his body didn't feel anything at all.
Dong Shisan got bolder and put on his clothes, stood in front, pointed at his chest and said, "Come on, shoot here."
Dong Ba also made up his mind. He used the sharpest iron arrowhead, pulled the bow to its full extent and shot at Dong Shisan. Xie Anfeng and the prince were so nervous that they held their breath.
The arrow did hit the target with a "bang", but then it fell off with a "clang". Dong Shisan shouted proudly, "I'm fine!"
He picked up the arrow that had fallen on the ground and ran towards the prince in surprise: "Master, look."
The arrow head was actually bent into a lump of iron.
Dong Shisan is totally fine!
When the prince looked at the clothes again, his eyes were filled with fanaticism. This was a real-life artifact that was invulnerable to swords and knives.
The prince praised Xie Anfeng highly and made up his mind that when he returned to Kyoto, he would ask the emperor to help Xie Anfeng get out of prison. No, in addition to getting out of prison, he would also reward him with some good things.
When Xie Anfeng returned to the inn, Xie Yanyan had already eaten and was practicing calligraphy.
He gave Xie Yanyan Fu Hong's reward: a jade ring that he always wore.
Xie Yanyan asked him if he wanted to wear it? Xie Anfeng shook his head. They were still in exile, so it was better to keep a low profile.
Huangfu’s Rice Shop.
Huangfu Ming was so angry that he vomited blood.
Prince Xi brought his new wife Huangfu Yueyue out to play specially, and Mrs. Yue said she wanted to give him a surprise.
"Father, the King of Xi wanted to use this food to save people, and he told you to keep a close watch on it. How could something like this happen?"
Huangfu Yueyue looked at the Huangfu Rice Shop and Granary with its signboard taken down and the door wide open, her expression looking extremely grim.
Huangfu Ming couldn't give birth to a son, but he had several daughters.
Huangfu Yueyue is the fourth daughter and a legitimate daughter.
During the Chinese New Year, Huangfu Ming bribed an aide to Prince Xi, and his daughter took several of his own daughters to attend gatherings of various aristocratic circles in the capital.
Huangfu Yueyue attended the plum blossom banquet of King Xi. Not long after Xie Yanyan and his exile team left the city, the wife of the staff member brought a message saying that Baogui Fei intended to make Huangfu Yueyue the wife of King Xi.
Huangfu Ming was very happy. If Prince Xi could have the good fortune to sit on that throne, his concubine could also become a royal concubine.
King Xi told him that there was no need to send anything to the royal palace in Kyoto. If he wanted to send anything, he could just prepare some food in the two cities of Nanyang and Xiangyang.
King Xi said that due to drought and little rain, this year's wheat and rice harvests were almost total, and the people were starving. He would use the food Huangfu Ming gave him to help the people.
Huangfu Ming secretly said "tsk" in his heart. Helping the people? They are really good at making excuses.
However, Prince Xi is ambitious and has a great chance of succeeding; the Crown Prince is too kind and the other princes are not capable of anything.
In Xiangyang City, he tried his best to collect 500,000 shi of grain for King Xi.
He gathered these grains from several surrounding counties, and they were almost the stock of all his rice shops in the south.
All the guards we hired are experts.
It was still stolen!!
