Qing Wuqi then went to find Xiao Chenyan.
When he went over, Yun Zheng was there too, discussing the situation in Beihai County with Xiao Chenyan.
"Wuwu!" Yun Zheng smiled when he saw his sister.
Xiao Chenyan also stood up from the throne, walked down the jade steps to Qing Wu's side, held her hand, and looked at King Biancheng: "Sixth brother is here too."
The corner of King Biancheng's mouth twitched and he snorted.
Who is your sixth brother!
He didn't even want to glance at the bastard Xiao who stole his sister, and when he smiled at Yun Zheng, his face was full of enthusiasm.
"Big brother!" King Biancheng called Yun Zheng respectfully.
Yun Zheng coughed lightly and nodded as a greeting. When he looked at Xiao Chenyan, his eyes were quite helpless.
Xiao Chenyan smiled and didn't care.
Qing Wu interrupted the quarrel between them: "You two can exchange glances later. Brother, are you and Yan Tai also discussing the Beihai County affairs?"
Xiao Chenyan saw the big picture and asked, "Sixth brother, are you here to discuss the matter of the Dragon King marrying a wife?"
Qing Wu curled her lips and gave a brief account of the situation.
"The Dragon King got married, the ghost officials in the underworld disappeared and got into trouble, and there was no news from the little black turtle either."
“This is not an easy matter.”
Xiao Chenyan frowned slightly. Even Qing Wu couldn't sense the situation on the little black turtle's side, which meant that this matter was not simple.
"You want to go there in person?"
Qing Wu nodded, and seeing his expression, she raised her eyebrows: "Don't tell me you want to go too."
Xiao Chenyan smiled.
Yun Zheng frowned: "A Yan, the capital still needs you to stay in charge."
"It's okay. I have a way to be free." Xiao Chenyan closed his eyes, and with a thought, another 'self' walked out of his body.
Qing Wu exclaimed: "You have cultivated a clone?"
She pinched Xiao Chenyan's face on the left, and then pinched his chin on the right, "You are not using Shadow Cat as a cover, your cultivation has improved rapidly."
The two Xiao Chenyans helplessly let her do whatever she wanted, and said in unison: "In this way, I can finally be with you, right?"
Qing Wu smiled and said, "Of course, I'm happy to have one more donkey to work with."
Xiao Chenyan was helpless, so they didn't delay any more and gathered all the people to head towards Beihai County.
Yun Zheng was also eager to make a move, but Xiao Chenyan's clone had left, so he naturally had to stay behind.
Xiao Chenyan only brought Li Sui and Situ Jing with him.
Qing Wuchen originally only wanted to take Ye Youxue with her, but after thinking about it, she decided to take Xiao Yulang with her as well.
Naturally, King Biancheng would follow along.
The group of people set off immediately.
When Zuo Xiang received the news and rushed over, Qing Wu and the others had already left. Seeing this, Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zuo Xiang. His Majesty has been able to create another body. Don't worry that there will be no one in charge of the capital."
The left prime minister looked at Xiao Chenyan, who was reviewing memorials on the throne, and breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Chenyan also smiled at him gently: "Don't worry, left prime minister. I have just ascended the throne. I won't give up so soon."
Zuo Xiang didn't feel embarrassed when his secret was exposed.
After spending some time together, he had already discovered that his two Majesties were "restless".
He didn't dare to say a word about Qing Wu's behavior. After all, his own Emperor... He did care about the people, but the Left Prime Minister also knew how annoyed Xiao Chenyan was with this imperial city.
Suddenly, Zuo Xiang's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty, since you can create one body, can you create three, four, six, seven, or eight? If so, you will have a lot of government affairs to deal with!"
Xiao Chenyan just raised his red brush and paused, staring at the left prime minister.
Yun Zheng laughed out loud.
Xiao Chenyan put down his pen with a headache and rubbed his eyebrows. How did this trend of doing things to the death and treating people like donkeys come about?
Beihai County.
The sea line is long and winding, and several large counties in the county are close to the bay. As for the villages, most of them are built along the coast.
In the early morning of Haizhu Village, a sharp scream broke the silence.
Dahai was sitting on the ground with a deathly pale face, a pearl placed at his feet. His wife was holding her eight-year-old daughter and crying loudly.
When the villagers saw the pearl, expressions of sympathy or relief appeared on their faces.
The village chief sighed, walked up to Dahai and said, "Dahai, the Dragon King's betrothal gifts have been delivered, you should hurry up and pack them for Cai'er."
Dahai's face twitched and he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it and nodded dejectedly.
His wife screamed, "No! My Cai'er is only eight years old, you are forcing her to die!"
"Mom..." Although Cai'er was only eight years old, she knew what she was going to face.
She didn't know what it meant to get married, but several sisters from the same village were chosen and never returned.
Their parents were in tears. Uncle Zhou said he wanted to go and get the child back. He had been out to sea alone for three days and had not returned yet. Aunt Zhou was in tears. People in the village said that Uncle Zhou might have angered the Dragon King and would not let him come back.
The village chief looked reluctant, but he had no choice but to harden his heart.
"Daughter-in-law of the Gui family, don't blame us. If you want to blame someone, just blame your Cai'er for her bad luck."
"That's the Dragon King. If we anger him, no one in our Haizhu Village will survive!"
"That's right. The people in the neighboring Xiaoyu Village disobeyed the Dragon King, and the whole village was flooded the next day."
The crying of the daughter-in-law of the Gui family was full of despair.
Dahai stood up, walked to the shelf nearby, and took down all the salted fish and other things in the house.
He said to his wife, "Go, stew all of this. Our Cai'er..." Dahai choked up, "You have to eat your fill before you go."
The wife of the Gui family's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
When the villagers saw this, they all showed expressions of sadness or shame on their faces.
They didn't want to surround the Gui family like this, but if the Gui family refused to marry their daughter, they would all die.
No one can withstand the wrath of the Dragon King.
The people of the fishing village make their living from the sea. Going out to sea is risking their lives, and even if they get a few salted fish, they would only eat them during the Chinese New Year.
Dahai had accepted his fate and didn't want his daughter to starve to death, so he was willing to stew all the salted fish eaten during the New Year.
Seeing this, the villagers dispersed.
The daughter-in-law of the old man was still crying. Her mother-in-law, who was half blind in one eye, came out and slapped her on the body. "Why are you crying? Go and cook. Boss, bring Cai'er into the house. She will marry the Dragon King in two days. This is a blessing for our family!"
Dahai looked at his mother in disbelief. After being glared at by the half-blind old mother, he lowered his head, picked up his daughter and went into the house.
The wife of the young man also carried the salted fish and went to light the fire crying.
When the villagers saw this, they all frowned, thinking that the old lady was really cruel.
"It's not easy to be a daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Old lady Gu didn't like Cai'er in the first place and only wanted a grandson. Now that Cai'er has been chosen as the wife of the Dragon King, I'm afraid that's what she wanted."
"Who said it wasn't true? Fortunately, my mother-in-law still likes her granddaughter."
The door is closed.
Dahai couldn't bear it any longer, "Mom, how could you..."
"idiot!"
Even though the old lady was blind in one eye, she was still very strong. She slapped Dahai on the head.
She lay down in the crack of the door, carefully looking to see if all the villagers had dispersed. After confirming that everyone had left, she quickly ran to open the cupboard, and when she looked closely she saw that her hands were shaking.
She was reluctant to eat lard at that time, so she took out all the fine grains.
"Go and bring your wife here."
Dahai was puzzled, but he went to bring his wife back anyway.
The daughter-in-law of the old man was full of resentment. She was dragged here unwillingly and looked at her mother-in-law with resentment.
The old lady said, "I won't waste my time talking to you now. Old lady's wife, hurry up and prepare all these snacks. Make some dry biscuits for you to take with you on the road."
"Here's one yuan, keep it."
The old lady pushed all the money and food out.
This time it was the wife of the Gong family who was shocked, "Mom, what are you doing..."
The old lady glared at her, her fierce face showing a ferocious expression: "I want a grandson, but Cai'er is also my granddaughter. I can't bear to see her die!"
"Now the villagers are very afraid. If their daughters refuse to marry, they will be kidnapped."
"Now that they are not suspicious, don't pack your valuables, just take your dry food and money, and run away before it gets dark."
Dahai and his wife looked at the old lady in disbelief: "Mom?!"
The two were so excited that they didn't notice that the old lady said "you" instead of "us".
The couple was happy, but also worried, "But where can we escape to?"
As the old lady was talking, she thought of something: "Let's go find that Demon Suppression Division. Isn't it said that there are some great immortals in the Demon Suppression Division? It's definitely right to find them..."
The wife of the old man was worried: "Will it really work? But it has been so long and no one from the Demon Suppression Division has appeared..."
The old lady glared at her: "If you can't find you, just run away and stay away from the sea. Otherwise, what else can I do?"
With the support of the old lady, Dahai and his wife felt at ease and packed up everything.
Cai'er looked at her fierce grandmother and asked her cautiously, "Grandma, are you not going to marry Cai'er?"
The old lady looked at her granddaughter, and a hint of kindness flashed across her only remaining eye, but it disappeared in an instant, and she returned to her ferocious look.
She pulled the little girl over, wiped her messy hair, and said, "If you don't want to marry the Dragon King, you should run as fast as you can. No matter what happens, remember to run towards the sea. Even if you are the only one left, you must run and don't stop."
"Do you know?"
Cai Er nodded, "I can run very fast, don't worry, grandma. The other brothers and sisters in the village can't run as fast as me."
The old lady then smiled, touched her granddaughter's head, and when she turned around, she wiped her face randomly.
The next moment, she turned around, opened the door and went out, with a smug expression on her face, and with her hands on her hips, she kept cursing at the kitchen.
All she said was "We are so lucky to be the relatives of the Dragon King." After a while, she started to scold her son and daughter-in-law, acting like a short-sighted old woman.
The villagers couldn't help shaking their heads when they heard her loud voice.
Although I felt sympathy for the daughter-in-law of the old man and Cai'er, I also felt relieved at the same time.
Since old lady Gu is so eager to give her granddaughter to the Dragon King, I think this family will not run away.
