The eighth prince Xuan Tianmo had not returned to Kyoto for several years. Every time he came back, he was beaten, and it was by the common people.
But he knew that he couldn't fight back at this time. Feng Yuheng had already angered the people by closing Baicao Hall. If he fought with the people at this time, it might cause chaos, which was not something that anyone could bear easily.
He sat on his horse, dodging left and right, but the people kept gathering and throwing all kinds of things at him, even some old ladies sitting on the street took off their foot bindings. The guard had been beaten by the crowd and fell to the ground with his head in his hands. He hurriedly got off the horse and hid behind it, but the horse was frightened by the beating and almost trampled him to death with its hoof.
Xuan Tianmo was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He saw Feng Yuheng and the others had stood up and stood aside. They were not far away, but they were fine. The things thrown by the people did not scratch her at all. Xuan Tianmo was upset and simply stood beside Feng Yuheng. At this time, a cabbage chasing him also flew close to him. Xuan Tianmo's brain twitched and he subconsciously hid behind Feng Yuheng. At this moment, Feng Yuheng happened to see Jingzhao Yin Xu Jingyuan rushing over from the other end of the street. She raised the corner of her lips, but did not hide, and was hit by the cabbage.
When Xu Jingyuan arrived, he just happened to see the Eighth Prince hiding behind Feng Yuheng. A large cabbage hit Feng Yuheng's head, messing up her hair and breaking her jade hairpin. She looked very embarrassed.
At this time, the people shouted again: "How come the Eighth Prince is not even as good as a guard? The guard knew he had been beaten, but you hid behind a woman. Is this the courage of the Eighth Prince of Dashun? Is this the tolerance?"
"That's right! Hiding behind a woman is a loser!"
"Yes! Good-for-nothing! Good-for-nothing! Good-for-nothing!"
The loud shouts made Feng Yuheng almost injured from laughter, and Xuan Tianmo almost injured from anger. He stood behind Feng Yuheng and said coldly, "Is this what my sister-in-law does?"
Feng Yuheng pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, thank you!"
"Humph!" Xuan Tianmo walked out from behind her, glanced at Xu Jingyuan who was rushing over, and asked in a cold voice: "Jingzhao Yin, you came at the right time."
Xu Jingyuan bowed and saluted: "It is my duty to keep the capital city peaceful, so I must show up when I am supposed to."
Xuan Tianmo wanted to ask why you didn't come when these bad people were causing trouble? But looking at these people, there were a few hundred people at least, and almost a thousand people at most. If they were all lumped together and called bad people, I'm afraid even the jail wouldn't be able to hold them all!
He felt depressed, but he made a decision quickly. Xuan Tianmo deeply understood that one must win the hearts of the people before winning the world. Even if he could not win the hearts of the people for a while, he could not lose too much. If he insisted on saving face and showing off his power as a prince, he would offend nearly a thousand people. He could not afford to take this risk.
He suppressed his anger again, took two steps forward, then turned around, bowed to Feng Yuheng, and said, "No matter what, it was indeed me who offended the princess today. I wanted to apologize a long time ago, and I came here just now for this reason. But I didn't expect that the new guard in the mansion didn't understand the situation and said something he shouldn't have said. My dear sister-in-law, please be magnanimous and don't bother with my brother! My brother apologizes to you here, and will definitely send a gift to your house to calm you down. I hope my sister-in-law will show mercy to you today and don't bother with my brother!"
First, it was the prince, which was considered to be lowering his status as a prince, and then he mentioned his younger brother and sister-in-law and myna, which was considered to be asking for a favor with the affection of relatives. Xuan Tianmo had really put in a lot of thought. Feng Yuheng thought that it was not easy for the Eighth Prince to do this. You have to know that he is a prince. He suffered such a great injustice and was hit on the head with eggs by the people in the street. He still did this. He is a talent. And she couldn't hold on to the other party's words, otherwise it would be her fault.
So Feng Yuheng smiled, returned a salute to Xuan Tianmo, and then said: "My dear brother, you are too kind. Today, it was Ah Heng's fault. Ah Heng was walking carelessly and bumped into my dear brother. The people were also a little impulsive. After all, Ah Heng is a little girl. Maybe they acted a little too radically because of this. Ah Heng thought that with my dear brother's tolerance, he would not hold it against the people, right?"
These words put Xuan Tianmo on a higher level. He couldn't make things difficult for these people even if he wanted to.
Xuan Tianmo smiled bitterly and nodded, saying, "Of course, of course." Then he turned around and said to Jingzhao Yin, "Today's incident is all my fault. If Lord Xu wants to hold me accountable, I am willing to take the responsibility. Lord Xu, please do not make things difficult for the people."
Xu Jingyuan nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. I was thinking that if Your Highness insisted on punishing people, there would be no place to imprison so many people. Since Your Highness is tolerant, then -" He turned around and shouted to the people, "Everyone, go away! Go away!"
The people must have heard this, and they breathed a sigh of relief. You know, no matter what the reason, beating the prince in the street is a capital crime! They were so angry just now, and they originally wanted to beat the guard to vent their anger. Later, they didn't know who took the lead to beat the eighth prince. People thought that there were many people around, so they took advantage of the chaos to have fun. It was not until Jingzhao Yin came that they felt afraid. They didn't worry about being held accountable at first, so they were relieved now.
Xu Jingyuan looked at the people who were all relieved, and with a turn of his eyes, he said, "Just now, Princess Ji'an asked the Eighth Prince for mercy, so I won't bother with you. Why don't you thank the Princess quickly!"
People also heard what Feng Yuheng said, so they knelt down and thanked Feng Yuheng again, making Xuan Tianmo so angry that his face turned red and white. It was obviously he who didn't care about it, so how could it be Feng Yuheng's credit?
The farce finally came to an end. Seeing that the people had left, Xuan Tianmo didn't want to stay here any longer. He glanced at the guard who was still lying on the ground and said to Xu Jingyuan, "This man was the first to insult the princess and pointed a sword at the princess's maid. This was not my order, it was his own idea. I don't want such a servant. You can take him away. It's up to you whether you want to beat or punish him. Even if you kill him, you must report to me." After that, he mounted his horse and galloped towards the direction of Prince Sheng's Mansion.
But Feng Yuheng shouted from behind: "This princess will leave the capital on the 14th day of the first lunar month, Brother Ba, don't forget the gift you promised me."
Xuan Tianmo was so angry that he shook his head, and the egg liquid splashed all over his face.
After all this commotion, they couldn't buy anything. Feng Yuheng happily took Xiangrong back home and asked the chef to make twenty portions of braised pork elbows tomorrow. She wanted to take them with her on the road.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Feng Yuheng led Wang Chuan, Huang Quan and Ban Zou to the main camp. When they arrived at the main camp, they quickly met up with Xuan Tianming. Without saying a word, the two of them walked to the empty tent that Xuan Tianming had prepared privately and began to move things out of the space.
She gave the guns to the Shenji Battalion first, and she planned to leave some grenades and land mines. In addition, she would also leave some of the gold and silver stolen recently here, so that Xuan Tianming could take them away with the army. She had limited space, so she could put all the stolen goods in, but because there were already a lot of them stored in the underground warehouse of the Princess's Mansion, it would be difficult to take them away. She left some for Yao Xian, and put some in Prince Chun's Mansion, but still asked Xuan Tianming to take ten boxes away.
Xuan Tianming watched his wife take out boxes of gold and silver, and he felt cold in his heart! This damn girl, is this the only way a god can do? This ability is almost like turning stone into gold. But thinking about those people of the Old Eighth Party losing all these fortunes overnight, it was really exciting.
In addition to these, Feng Yuheng also left a lot of medicine, most of which were Western medicines, which were easy to carry, quick to take effect, and less to take. Unlike Chinese medicine, even Chinese patent medicines require ten, six or eight tablets at a time, and they are taken three times a day, so the dosage is large and takes up space. Moreover, during marches and battles, even during the migration from Kyoto to the southern border, minor illnesses and disasters are inevitable. The troops cannot delay their journey because of a few sick people, so they need drugs for quick treatment, and Western medicine is the most suitable.
She left a lot of cold and fever medicine, as well as anti-inflammatory and diarrhea medicine, which were all necessary for going out. In addition, the weather in the South Realm was hot, and it was close to the desert, so there was no winter. There were many mosquitoes and insects, so some mosquito and insect repellent medicine was needed. She took out some sprays for this purpose and left them all in the empty tent, asking Xuan Tianming to sort them out himself.
Finally, all the necessary preparations were done. Feng Yuheng let out a long sigh and told Xuan Tianming: "I will leave tomorrow. You don't have to see me off. I will leave early."
Xuan Tianming shook his head and said, "No, I have to see you off. Don't worry. I have to attend the morning court tomorrow. You can leave after I come back from the court. I will see you off for a while before I can feel at ease."
She wanted to say no, but then she thought, after all, he was her fiancé, and it was time to send him off. If she didn't, someone might make a fuss about it. So she stopped arguing and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll pack everything that needs to be packed. There are also people from Baicaotang who will go with us, so it will be a large convoy. Fortunately, I don't need to use a carriage to carry these valuables. In addition, some things that are inconvenient to carry, I just throw them into the space, which is very convenient."
Xuan Tianming was still worried, so he pondered for a while and said, "Why don't I just send you to the fiefdom, and then I'll rush back in a few days."
"Absolutely not." Feng Yuheng refused bluntly, "It will take me at least half a month to get there. I'm afraid that the war reports from the south will come in during this half month. You still have to focus on national affairs. As for me, you should know that no matter how big the problem is, at least I have a place to hide, and no situation can hurt me."
Xuan Tianming knew that she had a Qiankun Space, so he could only nod. After a while, he whispered, "I just want to spend more time with you. You will be busy for a while when you arrive at the fiefdom, so we won't meet too soon."
She smiled and got into his arms. "There is a long way to go, and the world will be at peace one day. But you, promise me that you will take care of yourself on the battlefield. You still have so many soldiers, there is no need to rush forward all the time. As a general, you should command."
Xuan Tianming laughed. After fighting for so many years, did he need a little girl to teach him how to act? He stretched out his hand to pinch the girl's nose, and wanted to scold her for fun. At this time, he heard a burst of anxious footsteps outside the tent. Soon someone stood in front of the tent and said anxiously: "Princess! Go to the back mountain and take a look! Something happened over there!"
