Chapter 98 Ah! There are refugees in the northwest, and their journey from a thousand miles to Beijing is suspicious!

It always gets dark early in winter.

When Jiang Yingcheng woke up, the sky was already slightly dim.

Candlesticks had been lit in the room, and under the flickering candlelight, the sharp lines on Jiang Yanchuan's profile seemed much softer.

Jiang Yingcheng's vision had just returned to normal when he was dazzled by the beauty in front of him.

[Slurp, my beautiful father is so pleasing to the eyes! ]

Jiang Yanchuan paused in his action of flipping through the memorials, and before he turned around, he heard the thumping sound of footsteps approaching from afar.

The little voice that always made him happy also rang out: "Father~"

Jiang Yanchuan put down the memorial, turned around and leaned over to pick up the little ball filled with the sweet scent of pastries and put it into his arms.

Jiang Yingcheng first rubbed her handsome father's chest twice, and then asked in a milky voice: "What are you looking at, father?"

Jiang Yanchuan only glanced at the memorials spread out on the table, then stood up and carried the kid towards the bed: ""

The little girl has already helped him so much today, and he doesn't want to fill her entire childhood with these worries.

However, just as he stood up and walked back, the young man had already grabbed his sleeve and leaned over to take a quick glance at the memorial.

[Northwest... refugees... look suspicious? ]

Jiang Yingcheng's curiosity was instantly aroused to the peak.

[What is this, Brother Tong? What did the Emperor's memorial say?! ]

She is so curious!

Worried that 007 would become passive and lazy after being ordered around too many times today, Jiang Yingcheng even made a bold statement: "If I can't figure out the contents of that book today, I will do nothing at all!"

She made up her mind that if 007 didn't check the news for her, she would be possessed by a repeater and keep nagging 007!

Jiang Yanchuan casually picked up a piece of peach blossom cake that Lu Yao had prepared in advance and handed it to Jiang Yingcheng's mouth: "Peach blossom cake, would you like to try it?"

Jiang Yingcheng's nose twitched twice: "Yeah, yeah, I want it!"

007: [……]

Zhuang Xuyao ​​had already been escorted back to the Zhuang Mansion by Duke Wang. Jiang Yanchuan and Jiang Yingcheng had a simple dinner at the East Factory before preparing to drive back to the palace.

A long procession of ceremonial guards was lined up in front of the East Factory Gate. Jiang Yingcheng, led by her handsome father, walked towards the sedan chair in the middle of the street, surrounded by heavy guards.

The memorials brought today were only a few. Jiang Yanchuan could almost foresee the night battle that was about to come. He lowered his eyes and walked forward with a cold expression. The coldness on his face was even colder than the wind and snow around him.

Suddenly——

[Huh?] Jiang Yingcheng suddenly stopped, [Uncle Lei?]

Jiang Yanchuan paused, then turned around and followed the young man's gaze.

【Wow, Grandpa Kan is here too! 】

[Uncle Gao, Uncle Dong, Uncle Jiang...] Jiang Yingcheng was more and more surprised and puzzled as he looked at them. [Why don't they come over?]

The people standing at the entrance of the alley looked miserable.

It’s not that they don’t want to go, but they are frozen after waiting for a whole day.

Lu Yao, hiding behind the crowd, looked up at the sky guiltily, and refused to turn around to meet the staring eyes of the generals.

In the end, Kan Ruifeng patted the young men on the back one by one, and then led everyone to rush to Yu.

"Your Majesty, your Highness, I am Kan Ruifeng. I am honored to meet you -"

His words were interrupted by a soup bowl suddenly stuffed into his hand. Kan Ruifeng lowered his head and met a pair of almond-shaped eyes that were flashing with tiny lights.

"Why is Grandpa Kan here?" Jiang Yingcheng's voice was innocent.

Kan Ruifeng's heart, which had originally been warmed along with the warm hands, suddenly became bitter.

This is such a sad story.

He patted the boy's head bravely and said to Emperor Mingze, "It's rare for your little prince to leave the palace, so we old guys wanted to treat him well. So, we've prepared a lot of snacks that are popular among children."

The generals following behind hurriedly took out the snacks they had prepared in advance. Many of them were still steaming hot. They were the ones they bought back at regular intervals.

For lunch today, they had those cold cakes.

As they were talking, someone's stomach made a rumbling sound, obviously he was very hungry.

However——

They looked at the cute little baby ball on the ground with sparkling eyes.

As long as the little prince can be happy, their whole day's waiting will be worth it!

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Jiang Yingcheng suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and let out a restrained "burp".

[Wuwuwu, it’s too much. Uncle Lu really gave me too much…]

Everyone looked up stiffly, looking at Lu Yao with sad and angry eyes.

They are outside enduring the biting cold, and you are happily having a banquet inside?

Okay, okay, the grudge between them is finally settled today!

Jiang Yanchuan's gloomy eyes swept over the red faces of several people one by one. Finally, he couldn't bear it and ordered the car to turn around and head towards the general's mansion.

Along the way, Jiang Yingcheng, surrounded by guilt, would occasionally stretch out his little hands from the sedan chair to hand out some small cakes to the uncles accompanying him.

The hearts of several people, which had been chilled by the cold wind, were instantly soothed by this chubby little hand.

The team stopped in front of the Kan Mansion.

Everyone in the Kan mansion had already received Kan Ruifeng's signal and prepared a sumptuous dinner in advance. Jiang Yanchuan and Jiang Yingcheng had just finished dinner at the East Factory and were invited to the dining table again in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yingcheng held in his hands the pastries that the uncles had happily stuffed into his hands, his little face full of confusion.

She really couldn't eat any more, but these were all gifts from the uncles...

Just as Jiang Yingcheng was struggling, a big hand suddenly stretched out from above her head, took the snack in her hand, and put it into his mouth without changing his expression.

Jiang Yanchuan felt the sweet taste that he usually didn't like, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Kan Ruifeng spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, we asked you to come here today because we have an important message to report to you."

Having said that, he tilted his head slightly, signaled his confidant to take all the servants out, and sent people to guard strictly around the main hall to ensure that no one would eavesdrop.

He took out the letter that the young man had stuffed in front of them from his sleeve and handed it respectfully to Jiang Yanchuan.

"A few days ago, a mysterious person slipped some notes to us. They contained important information about Bei Ming."

Jiang Yanchuan glanced at Jiang Yingcheng who stretched his neck silently without leaving a trace, and opened the letter.

There were several crooked and winding lines drawn on it, and the font of Yuanliangping Cangjin was cut into small squares, which were then rearranged and pasted on the topographic map.

Kan Ruifeng carefully observed the young prince's expression and spoke after careful consideration: "The letter said that there is a copper mine that has not been mined yet around Kangyang County in the northwest of Beiming..."

The map was actually very detailed, but since they were sneaking in this time, they still needed to know more about the surrounding situation.

What if... there are some treasures there that the little princess doesn't like, and they can just take them away?

The eyes of several generals were fixed closely on the small figure beside Emperor Mingze, and the expectations in their eyes were almost solidified.

Jiang Yingcheng was indeed curious: [Hmm... Northwest? ]

Everyone felt relieved.

Here it comes!

【Have you heard about Northwest just now? 】

[Ah! There are refugees in the northwest, and their journey from a thousand miles to Beijing is suspicious! We haven't eaten this melon yet!]

[Brother Tong, Brother Tong, hurry up, put the melon in my mouth! ! ]

Several people's breath got stuck in their throat.

You are wrong, my Lord!

This is not what they want to know!
