Going to the provincial capital?
Ling Jiheng had never thought about it.
But Chang Wan insisted and seemed not to give up until he heard his affirmative answer.
Ling Jiheng pinched his chin in thought, and after a moment he said, "I have some things to take care of in the village, so I can't leave for at least three days. Can you guys wait? If you can't, you can go first, and I'll catch up later!"
Chang Wan was afraid that Ling Jiheng would trick him, so he hurriedly said, "I'll wait for Master Ling!"
Ling Jiheng had no choice but to agree. He thought, since he had explained it so clearly, why did he have to go there himself?
If Lord Yu was not a good official, he would definitely not be so easy to talk to.
It was late at night, and Ling Jiheng personally sent Chang Wan and others to Tinglan Courtyard and Zhegui Courtyard to rest.
Rongsiyuan was crowded, so there weren't many empty rooms. I preferred quietness, and the rooms in Qingfengyuan were already full of supplies, so I had no choice but to requisition the spare rooms at my third uncle's and my uncle's houses.
As for the backyard, there were quite a lot of empty rooms, but the structure of the house there was obviously different from the front. Chang Wan was afraid that he would feel neglected, so he skipped it directly.
After settling a group of yamen runners, Ling Jiheng could finally return to Rongsiyuan to find his young wife.
Chi Xingyue just got her period today, and she encountered so many things. Good things really take time, and she needs to be comforted.
After briefly explaining the reason to his grandparents and apologizing to his parents, Ling Jiheng took Chi Xingyue's hand and strolled on the path covered with silver frost.
Neither of them spoke until they closed the door of the west room. Then Chi Xingyue couldn't wait to ask about the progress of the matter.
Ling Jiheng held her in his arms, walked to the kang, and took off her heavy cotton jacket while talking to her.
"The Zhou family has already submitted the letter. I believe General Zhou will make preparations in advance. I'm afraid Lord Yu will have to go there in person."
Chi Xingyue's body stiffened: "When?"
"Let's wait a couple of days until we finish dealing with the affairs in the village."
"Do you need me to join you?"
Ling Jiheng wanted to take the little fairy with him, but Chi Xingyue was not feeling well these past two days, so it was really inconvenient for her to travel long distances.
"I'll go with Jinbao!"
Chi Xingyue nodded, but felt a little uneasy. He frowned and said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes!"
After saying that, he yawned and felt a little sleepy.
I said to Ling Jiheng: "You sleep on the bed tonight!"
Just hide in the corner and slip into the space.
I went to the bathroom to take care of some personal matters, then went into the private room to have dinner.
Crispy roast duck, casserole cabbage and tofu, and sea bass stewed with millet made me feel full.
Finally, he ended with a sip of Coke and happily went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Then he came out and found that Ling Jiheng hadn't moved at all. He couldn't help but feel curious: "Why don't you rest yet?"
Ling Jiheng said aggrievedly: "You want to sleep in a separate bed from me?"
Chi Xingyue: "..."
Emma, didn’t she just propose to sleep in separate beds because she was afraid that the smell of her blood would offend the other person? Why is she feeling so aggrieved?
"Well, it's inconvenient for me. What's the matter? Don't you want to?"
Ling Jiheng came up immediately and said, "I don't dislike you, and you are not allowed to dislike me."
Then he went to the side room to wash up, came back as quickly as possible, rushed to the kang, and put his warm big hand on Chi Xingyue's belly: "I'll warm you up!"
Chi Xingyue rolled her eyes but didn't stop him.
He listened to the rustling sounds in the side room until the door was locked. After a long while, he asked the other party to blow out the oil lamp and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you give all the letters to Zhou Chengyu?"
Chi Xingyue thought, just throw it away and don't worry about it.
However, Ling Jiheng had his own considerations.
General Zhou has more than just Zhou Chengyu as his grandson. Even if their family can achieve great things, they will have to go through a struggle in the future to determine the heir to the throne.
Ling Jiheng sent the letter to surrender, but more importantly, he did not want the people of the Great Yong Dynasty to be bullied by the Northern Liao people.
Although Northern Liao was also part of the Dragon Kingdom in later generations, as of now, the two sides have different positions and are destined not to be friends.
Ling Jiheng revealed that if Northern Liao remained peaceful, a war could be avoided. If a surprise attack was launched there, his side would not be at a disadvantage.
The Zhou army retained sufficient strength to quickly quell civil unrest in the future. The early years of a dynasty were bound to be peaceful and prosperous.
He, Chi Xingyue, and the Ling family can also live a better life.
However, there is a hidden danger here, which is the gold mine.
Although the two of them blocked the entrance with large rocks, since the Third Prince knew that there was a gold mine here, it meant that it was not completely kept secret.
If we don't explain clearly now, and the Zhou family finds this clue in the future, will they feel a thorn in their hearts and suspect that the Ling family has rebellious intentions?
Anyway, the gold ore mined from it has been collected by Chi Xingyue into the space, and he has no intention of establishing himself as king. Giving the news to General Zhou as a gift can also end this corrupt dynasty sooner.
Moreover, by not having direct contact with Zhou Chengyu, he can also avoid the dispute over the crown prince.
Ling Jiheng gave Chi Xingyue a few simple pointers, and she understood. She didn't think she had the ability to raise an army, and she was happy to live a happy and carefree life.
Another point is that space cannot use thoughts.
When she upgraded, the reason for prohibiting the use of thoughts was to deprive the heroine of her luck. Such a contradiction gave her an immature idea.
Perhaps the way of heaven favors Cui Wan'er.
He punished the reborn heroine for her, and the reward he got was an early upgrade of his space. However, because he absorbed her golden finger, he was deprived of the ability to control objects with his mind.
So, don't harbor any thoughts of being the mother of the country. She is just an ordinary person, and it will be a blessing to be able to become an official's wife in the future.
In the darkness, the two people had surprisingly similar thoughts.
The kang was warm, and Ling Jiheng could smell a hint of blood. But he didn't care and gently rubbed Chi Xingyue's belly.
Chi Xingyue yawned and soon fell asleep. In his dream, Yunrou County was snowing heavily, more than half a meter deep. Many houses had collapsed, and some people had frozen to death in their sleep.
When I woke up the next day, I still felt incredible.
The kang was clearly warm, so she was lucky not to dream about the stove. How could she dream about snow?
Could it be that he was still frightened because Ling Jiheng was almost taken away by Zhou Chengyu?
There was no one around, but the door was tightly shut. It was still dark, and it was unclear whether Ling Jiheng had gone to entertain the city officials or to deal with the villagers' mushroom farming business.
I didn't rush to get up, so I just lay down on the kang. I slept well last night and didn't get my clothes or quilt dirty.
But it was almost reaching its limit. Chi Xingyue hesitated for a while and then came down. He wanted to bolt the door, but found that it was locked outside.
Chi Xingyue was impressed by Ling Jiheng's attentiveness, and smiled as she found a corner to deal with it. Then she went back to the kang to take a nap.
By the way, the mushrooms used for experiments in the space have grown up. Chi Xingyue took a look at them and was too lazy to pick them, so he decided to wait for Ling Jiheng to come back before dealing with them.
