Chapter 91 The young general is so valuable on the road to escape!
"Buddha bless you."
Thousands of miles away, under the flying eaves and brackets of the ancient temple, copper bells are making crisp sounds.
Guizhier was dressed in tight clothes and kneeling on the cushion in front of the Buddhist temple.
The woman stood tall and straight, her presence unmistakable even on her knees. Her hands were folded, calloused with the fine veils of swordplay and spearmanship.
She slowly lowered her head, her forehead lightly touching the cushion, revealing clear and strong lines on the back of her neck.
"Do you, lady, believe in Buddhism?" Xie Yuan asked while kneeling beside her.
Guizhier shook her head and stood up quickly and casually.
"I just want to thank the Buddha for blessing us with the precious land these past few days." She smiled, "Otherwise, we might have been washed back to Hangzhou by the flood, and walked into a trap."
Xie Yuan found it interesting and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Has Young Master Xie made all the arrangements for the reconstruction of the disaster area?" Gui Zhier raised her eyebrows.
They were inspectors appointed by the imperial court and could not stay in Li County for long.
Now that the flood has receded, it's time to go our separate ways.
"I've already told the county magistrate." Xie Yuan lowered his eyes and slowly clasped his hands together.
"As the chief engineer, he should be dismissed from his post because he failed to repair the dike in time, which led to a disaster," he said.
"Given external factors such as unusually heavy rains and river diversions, coupled with effective disaster relief efforts, the merits and demerits of the operation have been balanced."
Give a slap and then a sweet date.
Under the coercion and intimidation of Young Master Xie, the magistrate of Li County was in a state of panic.
"Don't worry, sir. Reconstruction of the disaster area is a top priority. It concerns the livelihoods of the people and the stability of the country. I will devote all my energy to it!"
The county magistrate tugged at his wrinkled official uniform, his sparse mustache twitching precariously.
It was as if he was afraid that the governor would go back on his word and take his life.
Guizhier had no doubts about Young Master Xie's ability to handle affairs.
"Civil officials wield their pens to bring peace to the world, and military generals immediately decide the fate of the world." She calculated with her fingers, "With you two capable generals, King Yue will be able to prosper in Zhenbei in no time."
Guizhier blinked twice with a sincere expression.
She even thought that Young Master Xie was an abandoned child of the Xie family and had shown a little sympathy for him.
It turns out that she was the only one who was kept in the dark!
Xie Yuan raised his hand and touched his nose.
After wasting a few days in the temple, he was still elegant in his moon-white brocade robe. But when faced with questioning, a faint blush appeared on his jade-like face.
He did not refute, but subconsciously lowered his eyes, and his thick and curled eyelashes trembled slightly like a frightened butterfly.
I don't know if he's anxious or feeling guilty.
Dog men can't be trusted...
Gui Zhier recalled Liu Qianjin's advice and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about politics. I forgot to ask Young Master Xie, is Sister Qianjin doing well in Chu Huai?"
It doesn't matter if you don't ask.
Upon asking, I found out that Miss Liu had received a letter and had already set off to return to the northern border.
"Ah?" Guizhi'er was even more confused now.
She couldn't figure it out.
The courtesan finally escaped from the sea of suffering, so why did she return the same way?
"It seems like you two are getting along very well."
General Luan strode over holding Xueying's hand.
The boy had a tall and straight figure, and walked with the steady gait of a martial artist, and his face was a delight to the eye.
"The news of the change of flag in Zhenbei has been reported to the capital in an urgent message over 800 miles. It's time for us to set off."
He separated Guizhi'er and Xie Yuan without leaving any trace, and the white colt stopped obediently and gently wagged its tail.
"I'm sorry to have interrupted your fun." Luan Shuangbai smiled apologetically.
Guarding against Young Master Xie is like guarding against a thief.
People who don't know the truth may think that the new and old princes-in-law had something dirty going on for Princess Yuhe.
Guizhier was amused by her own thoughts.
"What are you laughing at, girl?"
"Why is the heroine laughing?"
The two spoke in unison again.
"Hey." Guizhier pointed to the top of the ancient temple wall, "Look, kittens are fighting."
The summer afternoon sun was warm, and the yellow walls of the ancient temple were coated with a layer of gold. Two tabby cats, who came from nowhere to look for food, met on a narrow road.
One side arched its back, let out a "woooo" sound with its fur standing on end to declare its sovereignty.
The other side waved its claws, knocking the tiles on the wall to the ground.
However, this was the last pleasure on the road to escape.
After leaving Li County and changing to fast horses to go around Wujin Road, the group was in a miserable state.
The imperial court will issue a wanted notice and offer a reward to local authorities.
The first to be hit was Luan Shuangbai, the future son-in-law who was accused of "treason and collaborating with the enemy" - anyone who could provide accurate clues and assist the court in capturing him would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
Anyone who can capture him and hand him over to the government will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and 100 acres of good farmland.
"I didn't know that the young general was so valuable!" Guizhier huddled in a corner of the cave to rest.
The sun was scorching, and the deep mountains and forests were like a steamer. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to her body, feeling sticky and greasy.
Mosquitoes buzzed in my ears.
Luan Shuangbai lay lazily at the entrance of the cave, watching the wind, with one arm behind his head and the other hand holding a large banana leaf to fan himself.
"I don't deserve it." He raised his head proudly and accepted Guizhier's praise frankly.
The lush branches and leaves overlap, cutting the scorching sun into fine light and shadow.
"They actually asked us to surrender ourselves and promise to forgive us. How ridiculous!" The scholars waved their arms, trying to drive away these annoying mosquitoes.
But there are still red and swollen lumps on the face and arms, which are extremely itchy.
"He must be using his life as a bargaining chip to threaten the elders and fellow countrymen in his hometown." After the experience of the imperial examination cheating case, the scholars are no longer naive.
Once you start a rebellion, there is no turning back.
Everyone relaxed their tense nerves by chatting and endured the pain.
Due to long-term cycling, many people have large areas of abrasions on the inner thighs, and even dense blood vessels can be seen faintly, with the edges being bluish-purple.
The slender and delicate female student tried hard to hold back her tears.
When she was in the capital, she answered the spring examination papers very smoothly and thought she had a chance of getting a ranking.
Unexpectedly, the imperial court treated these ordinary students like trash, turning a blind eye and refusing to give them justice.
Encountered a flood and encountered pursuers.
Along the way, she understood more and more what Mr. Muxi, also known as Miss Gui, had taught her.
"Learning is about applying it to practical use; it should never be confined to books. If you want to pursue a career in politics, you must first understand the sufferings of the people and the advantages and disadvantages of the country."
"Sir, will His Royal Highness Prince Yue of the Northern Territory also promote the imperial examination system?" the female scholar asked with her heart's desire.
She was unwilling to give up and wanted to use what she had learned to benefit the common people.
Is there any need to ask this?
Guizhier yawned, and the sunlight coming in from the cave made her squint her eyes slightly.
If His Royal Highness Prince Yue, that old fox, didn't want to directly recruit a group of educated young talents, why would he take the trouble to arrange secret guards to take them out of danger?
"Shh, there's movement!" Luan Shuangbai's ears twitched slightly and he jumped up from the ground.
Everyone held their breath and their palms were sweating.
There seemed to be a slight friction between the trees, and a continuous rustling sound.
It looked like a group of people were pushing aside the dense branches and bushes and approaching cautiously.
Immediately afterwards, the clatter of horse hooves joined in the fun, again and again, the oppressive rhythm striking on people's hearts.
Luan Shuangbai held the red tasseled spear horizontally, lowered his body slightly, and was ready to strike.
Is the person coming an enemy or a friend?
