Chapter 072 Chapter 72 (Additional update)

Xu Duanyi breathed a sigh of relief only after she left Xie Qingya's sight.

Seeing the leading general with a solemn expression, his eyes constantly roaming around the field, Xu Duanyi knew he was looking for her, so she quickly gathered her thoughts and called out, "Uncle Cheng!"

As soon as Cheng Hao heard the voice, he looked over immediately.

When he saw Xu Duanyi, he immediately strode towards him.

"Your Highness."

After Cheng Hao called out to everyone, he wanted to salute them first, but Xu Duanyi grabbed his arm first.

"Uncle Cheng, there's no need to be so polite." Xu Duanyi looked at Cheng Hao and said.

The two had a close relationship, so Cheng Hao did not insist. After standing up straight, he looked at Xu Duanyi with disapproval and said, "How could Your Highness come to such a place?"

He was not in the city on weekdays, but stationed on the dike.

Supervise them in building the dam.

This will prevent the occurrence of slacking off and cutting corners.

This morning he heard from his subordinates that Princess Jiashun was suspected to have come to Yutian, so he called Mei Xuezhen over to inquire about it. After confirming that it was true, he hurried over.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yu came to see him.

On the way here, he had heard about this from Shi Yu.

At this point, severe punishment is not a pressing matter.

The most important thing is the ancestor in front of us.

He frowned, looked at Xu Duanyi and said, "If the Marquis knew, he would be worried to death."

After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Xu Duanyi to speak, and then he said: "I already know what your Highness means. I will have these people escorted back to the capital. I will send them to where they should be sent. I will never let them escape midway, and I will not let them do things perfunctorily."

"But you have to leave immediately. This is not the place for you to stay."

Xie Qingya just came over and heard these words.

He paused.

Although he also wanted Xu Duanyi to go back earlier, but... when it really came to this moment, Xie Qingya still felt a little reluctant.

However, Xie Qingya quickly suppressed this reluctance in his heart and did not show it.

He stood behind Xu Duanyi and echoed, "Listen to General Cheng and go back."

Xu Duanyi was just about to return to Cheng Hao.

Hearing the sound coming from behind, I turned around suddenly.

Eyes met.

Xu Duanyi looked at Xie Qingya.

Seeing Xie Qingya also looking at her, Xu Duanyi opened her mouth to speak, but finally moved her lips and gave up. She turned around and said to Cheng Haoxian, "I still have things to do here. I will go back after I finish my work."

"What can I do for you here?"

Cheng Hao frowned and still refused to let her stay.

He wanted to persuade her again, but then he heard Xu Duanyi calling him in a low voice: "Uncle——"

When Cheng Hao heard the voice, he knew that it was useless to persuade her, so he could only look at her and sigh.

The ancestor in front of him looked gentle and good-tempered, as if he had no temper at all, but in fact, his character was exactly the same as that of the Marquis.

What is decided cannot be changed.

No matter what anyone says, it's useless.

In the end, Cheng Hao could only look at her and say, "Then you have to promise me that you will never go to any dangerous places and return to the capital as soon as you finish your work."

"If anything happens to you, I will never be able to see you again."

Xu Duanyi naturally agreed.

She smiled and said yes.

Cheng Hao was still worried, so he looked at Xie Qingya and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you for the time being."

Xie Qingya was still looking at Xu Duanyi without saying anything.

It was not until Xu Duanyi turned around and looked at him with a pitiful look of pleading that Xie Qingya had no choice but to retract his gaze and look at Cheng Hao and nodded.

Three people are talking here.

The others were too far away to hear it.

Afterwards, Cheng Hao led He Zongnian and others and left here first.

The farce is finally over.

But the crowd of onlookers never left.

This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. They looked at Xu Duanyi, still full of doubts. They wanted to ask, but did not dare to. They could only wander around, unwilling to leave, their eyes staring at Xu Duanyi.

Such a gaze——

Xie Qingya and Xu Duanyi naturally saw it.

Xie Qingya didn't want them to bother Xu Duanyi, and was about to tell them to disperse when he heard the person next to him speaking first, looking at them.

"Silver and money should be kept separate. This has been the principle since ancient times. Even when the emperor or the empress dowager travels, it is not reasonable to take money at will."

Xu Duanyi said in a clear voice: "Natural disasters are ruthless, but you are all citizens of Daxia. You don't need to feel inferior. Since there are rules in the city, you should abide by them. Everyone is the same."

"If something like this happens again in the future, you can continue to report it. If anyone refuses to accept it or dares to conceal it, please report it to me and my husband, and we will take care of it for you."

When Xie Qingya heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xu Duanyi.

Isn't she leaving tomorrow?

Where can they find her in the future? They can't go to the capital...

Xie Qingya's mind was full of thoughts, but he didn't think too much about it. He just thought she was just saying it at this moment, so he still stood beside her and didn't say anything.

But the onlookers, after hearing what Xu Duanyi said, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but looked at Xu Duanyi and spoke hesitantly: "Madam, we just heard them call you Your Highness... Are you a member of the royal family?"

Xu Duanyi looked at them and said softly, "My last name is Xu."

Although Yutian is far away, the people present still know clearly what the surname of the Great Xia Kingdom is.

People couldn't help but feel confused.

I don't understand why those people call her that even though her last name is Xu.

However, an old man suddenly thought of something and looked at Xu Duanyi and asked, "Is Madam's father the Marquis of Wu'an?"

"Marquis Wu'an?"

When everyone heard this title, they whispered to each other and then began to ask, "Is he the Marquis of Wu'an who recaptured Shunzhou and Jizhou?"

These common people may not know who is in power in the capital or who has power and influence, but they naturally know about things like this that are of great significance to Daxia.

During the reign of the previous emperor.

Marquis Wu'an and King Nan'an successively recovered Shunzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and other prefectures that had been separated in the past. Since then, all these prefectures that had been scattered abroad have finally returned to the Central Plains.

The young generation today may not be so clear about such important matters.

But it is impossible for those who are a little older not to know about it.

Therefore, at this moment, when Zhixiao realized that the woman in front of him might be the descendant of Marquis Wu'an, the onlookers were even more excited than before.

Facing the dozens of eyes looking at her.

Xu Duanyi didn't let them wait long. Soon, she looked at them and nodded.

Almost nodded.

The old man who had spoken earlier had tears in his eyes and wanted to kneel down.

"I never thought that the lady is the descendant of Marquis Wu'an. We really don't know the real you." The old man said as he was about to kneel down.

"Shigure."

Xu Duanyi shouted hurriedly.

Shi Yu understood, and helped the old man up with one hand, while holding the long knife with the other hand, he also stopped several people nearby who wanted to kneel down.

The ringgit followed suit and also held back some people.

"No need to be so polite, everyone."

"You are all much older than me. If my father knew, he would say I am disrespectful to the elderly."

Xu Duanyi joked with them.

The old man probably had some status among these people. After being stopped, he looked at Xu Duanyi for a long time and finally got up.

The rest of the people followed suit.

But the old man kept repeating: "I had the honor to meet Marquis Wu'an in the past, but he refused to let us kneel... and also, King Nan'an."

"They are all good people, really good people."

As the old man spoke, he recalled the past and couldn't help but shed tears.

At this time, Xu Duanyi did not look at the old man again.

When the old man mentioned King Nan'an, she subconsciously looked at the people around her.

really--

The man who had such a calm expression before, now looked distracted and lonely no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

The gaze that was originally looking forward now drooped slightly.

Until he felt a different feeling in the palm of his hand, Xie Qingya's body suddenly shook. He looked down, and when he saw that it was exactly as he thought, Xie Qingya raised his head again in disbelief and looked at Xu Duanyi beside him.

He didn't understand why Xu Duanyi wanted to hold his hand, especially in public.

But when he saw the look she gave him, Xie Qingya immediately understood.

It's obvious.

She had sensed how he felt at the moment.

This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team.

We should be able to get out of this situation. It's not that difficult to do so.

But Xie Qingya didn't know what was wrong with him. Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well yesterday, or maybe it was because they mentioned his father... or maybe it was simply because Xu Duanyi's gaze at this moment was too gentle.

So gentle that it seems to be able to tolerate all injustices and grievances.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel dependent on her and was reluctant to break away, so he really let her hold him like this and forgot to break away.

He was not defeated.

Xu Duanyi was also somewhat happy.

She didn't look at Xie Qingya again. She just held Xie Qingya's hand tightly and looked forward again.

She had more to say to them.

"Everyone."

She started.

The people who were talking at first gradually stopped talking and looked at her again.

So does Xie Qingya.

He also lowered his eyes to look at Xu Duanyi, not knowing what she was going to say.

Someone was sharp-eyed and saw their hands holding together.

"I have heard a lot of rumors today, and I know that you have some misunderstandings about me and my husband."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the onlookers who knew what she was talking about all looked embarrassed, and some even lowered their heads in embarrassment.

His expression suddenly became a little nervous and uneasy.

The old man standing in the front with a cane had no idea what Xu Duanyi was saying.

But looking back at the people behind him, he could probably guess that those words were definitely not good ones.

His face darkened, he turned around, bent down, and confessed his crime to Xu Duanyi.

"Don't blame me, Your Highness. I am a country bumpkin with little experience. If I have offended Your Highness and the Lord, I will apologize to you two first. I will definitely warn them later and will never let those nonsense words reach your ears again."

"No, old man, I don't blame them." Xu Duanyi's tone was still gentle.

She could feel Xie Qingya looking at her at this moment.

She was actually nervous about what she was going to say next.

My heart is beating very fast.

She didn't know whether Xie Qingya would be unhappy or blame him.

But she still wanted to say it.

She hopes that his goodness can be seen by everyone.

She also wanted Xie Qingya to know that he had never disgraced the title of King of Nannan.

"My husband and I are in a betrothal marriage."

"My husband was once a third-rank general, and now he is the third-rank governor of Shuntian Prefecture."

Xu Duanyi's words surprised and astonished everyone.

"General Zhaoyong? Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture?" People murmured these two titles. Even if they didn't know what the job was, they knew that a third-rank official was not a small position.

What shocked them even more was what Mrs. Xie said next.

"My lord, he is——"

After hearing this, Xie Qingya finally realized something. His face changed slightly and he tried to stop her: "Xu Duanyi..."

But he still couldn't stop Xu Duanyi.

"The second son of the old King of Nan'an is the new King of Nan'an."

The crows and sparrows were silent.

The group of people who were talking endlessly before suddenly fell silent. Even the old man looked at them with wide eyes.

"King of Nan'an? Sir Xie is the child of King of Nan'an?" the old man asked Xie Qingya.

Xie Qingya's back became stiff from the question and he was unable to answer.

It was not until Xu Duanyi gently shook his hand that Xie Qingya came to his senses. He looked at the old man with a stiff expression and answered hoarsely, "Yes."

With a "plop" sound.

The old man suddenly dropped his cane and knelt down.

This kneeling was too sudden, and for a moment, no one could react. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. When Shi Yu frowned and wanted to reach out to the person to help him up, she suddenly found that her master was shaking his head at her not far away.

Although I don't understand.

But Shi Yu always listened to Xu Duanyi, so he withdrew without hesitation.

"You are actually the child of the King of Nan'an. No wonder you are so humble... The King of Nan'an is a good man, and you are also a good man!"

"It's a blessing for our Yutian to have you here to govern us!" The old man said to Xie Qingya with excitement.

Seeing this, the others followed the old man's example and knelt down in the direction of Xie Qingya.

Their brains are actually still in a state of confusion or even shock.

There have been so many shocking things in the past two days.

At first, it was Mr. Xie’s wife, who turned out to be the owner of Tzu Chi Hall.

Today I just found out that Madam Xie is actually the daughter of Marquis Wu'an.

How long has it been?

Even Mr. Xie's identity has changed.

They originally thought that Lord Xie was a son-in-law of a wealthy family and an insignificant official, but they never expected that he would suddenly become the son of the King of Nangan!

King Nannan!

That's a legendary figure.

The group of people ended up staring in astonishment, their heads full of thoughts, what a God!

The old man was still thinking of the old King Nan'an.

Talking about the great contributions that the old King of Nan'an had made.

Xu Duanyi noticed that the young man beside him had slightly red eyes, and knew that he must be like the old man at this moment, thanking his uncle and others.

She suddenly loosened her grip on Xie Qingya's hand.

Then she gently pushed his arm again.

Xie Qingya noticed her actions and seemed to have finally regained his senses, but there was still some confusion in his eyes.

Until he lowered his head and looked Xu Duanyi in the eye.

Look at the soft and bright smile in her eyes.

Xie Qingya didn't know what she was going to do, but suddenly she said, "Go, Prince."

Looking at the encouragement in her eyes, Xie Qingya finally knew what she was going to do.

He did not leave immediately.

Instead, he looked at Xu Duanyi in silence and difficulty.

An unknown amount of time passed before he finally withdrew his gaze from Xu Duanyi and walked towards the old man who was still kneeling not far away.
