Chu Xiao gritted his teeth angrily, "I have important things to do now, and I'm too lazy to get entangled with them."
"You have something important to do? What is it?"
Chu Xiao got into the car and said with a smile, "Let's go buy seeds!"
"Buy seeds? What kind of seeds?" Mu Zhicheng was completely baffled.
"Of course, it's the seeds used for transplanting rice seedlings."
"Hey, why are you buying all that stuff? You're not planning to go back and develop your grandpa's run-down farm, are you?"
Chu Xiao didn't answer, but started the car and drove to the nearest farmers' market.
——
Liangcheng, the Prefect's Residence.
As dawn broke, Qin Yue Zhao was preparing to lead the Huo family army to the prefect's residence.
Unexpectedly, a rough, deep voice suddenly rang out from outside the mansion gate: "Qin Yue Zhao, I heard you're looking for me?"
Prefect Han Tianba, aged thirty-six, is a distant cousin of the current Empress.
Because he got into a street fight with a military officer in Kyoto and injured many civilians, he angered the emperor and was demoted to Liangcheng as governor.
He was arrogant, short-tempered, and a true troublemaker.
The gatekeeper peeked through the crack in the door and saw a large group of people. He immediately rushed to Qin Yue Zhao.
"Your Highness, Han Tianba has arrived. Judging from his appearance, he seems unaware of the matter of colluding with the enemy."
Qin Yue Zhao immediately drew her sword and said to Chen Wan'er, "Wan'er, call out all the archers and keep an eye on Han Tianba and his group. If they dare to make any move, kill them without mercy!"
"yes!"
In order to find out about the defense map, Chen Wan'er immediately led her guards down the mountain.
Before long, the large iron gate was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and dozens of Huo family soldiers dressed in armor rushed out carrying large swords.
Qin Yue Zhao stood at the front, staring coldly at Han Tian Ba.
"Han Tianba, do you know your crime?"
Han Tianba was wearing a black fox fur cloak, with a fat head, big ears, a bulbous nose, and a beard, looking just like the mischievous Cheng Yaojin.
He didn't even bow to Qin Yue Zhao, but instead held his head high with arrogance.
"Damn it, Qin Yuezhao, don't try to put on airs in front of me. What crime have I committed?"
"Treason and collusion with the enemy!"
"Pah! Even though I got into a fight in Kyoto and was demoted to this godforsaken place, I won't tolerate you insulting me like this!"
Qin Yue Zhao looked at him, his eyes wide and his beard bristling, and it didn't seem like he was faking it.
"Han Tianba, are you aware of the enemy's sneak attack on Xishan last night?"
"I know, so what? It's not like I ordered the ambush in Xishan. What does it have to do with me?"
"None of your business? Last night, the guards from the Prefect's Office were supposed to be patrolling Xishan and they found this on the enemy soldiers. You dare say you don't recognize it?"
Qin Yue Zhao threw the city defense map at him, her eyes bloodshot with rage.
I knew from the start that this guy was a good-for-nothing, but I never expected him to be this incompetent.
Han Tianba stared blankly at the city defense map.
Because this picture was indeed given to Chen Kun, a guard in the mansion.
After a moment, he suddenly noticed something and asked the guard beside him, "Damn it, where is Chen Kun? Why isn't he here?"
The nearby guard shrank back and said, "Reporting to my lord, we haven't seen Brother Kun since early this morning. We don't know where he went."
Before he could finish speaking, several men with bruised and swollen faces rushed out of the general's mansion, shouting in unison.
"My lord, my lord, you've finally arrived! Her Highness the princess truly has divine powers! Last night, we saw grain falling from the sky like rain, filling the entire courtyard of the princess's residence!"
"Yes, we were blind and believed that beast Chen Kun's words that the princess was hiding grain from the people. These are all rumors!"
