I just saw him yesterday, but when I saw Cheng Che again now, I inexplicably saw fatigue and vicissitudes on his face.
He stood beside the carriage and said, "Your humble servant greets the princess."
Little Bell poked her head out and frowned, "Master Cheng seems to be having a hard time? What difficulties have you encountered?"
Cheng Che chuckled, "No, I already arranged the list given by the princess yesterday. However, because this matter is quite large, in order to ensure it is handled properly, I personally led people to several of the larger dens.
After running around continuously, you may look a little tired, but once this matter is dealt with, you can just take a rest and everything will be fine.
Princess, don't worry. Knowing you'd be leaving, I've been waiting here. Firstly, to report yesterday's achievements, and secondly, to bid you farewell.
There were seven dens in total, and we successfully captured five. One of them escaped as if he heard the news, and another one resisted fiercely. Two people were seriously injured, but fortunately, they were all captured.
After that, the trial will begin. After this is over, I will send the files to the princess for review."
Xiao Lingling nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Master Cheng."
Suddenly remembering Chu Yu's suggestion, he whispered again, "Oh right, Lord Cheng asked about the palace soldiers before, and I already have some plans. But I will find someone to handle this matter, Lord Cheng can just focus on dealing with these beggars first.
After that, I will write a detailed memorial and submit it. I will wait for good news from Master Cheng."
Cheng Che's eyes flickered for a moment, and he nodded. "Yes, I obey your command. Then I won't delay the princess. I have prepared some special products from the prefecture and have sent them to Shuanghe Village in advance. I hope the princess will not mind."
Xiao Lingling didn't want to accept it, but since it had already been delivered, it would be a bit pretentious for her to refuse, so she nodded.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard someone calling her from behind?
Little Bell looked back in confusion and saw a carriage rushing towards them.
"Little Bell! Wait! Wait for me, hey, this carriage needs to go faster!"
The person who came was none other than Princess Liu Jingrou of Xiang. She opened the door of the carriage without caring about her image and shouted at Xiao Lingling from afar.
The carriage finally arrived safely, but Liu Jingrou was so tired that she was gasping for breath. If someone didn't know her, they would think she was the one driving the carriage.
Liu Jingrou glanced at Xiao Lingdang in a reproachful manner, "You kid, why didn't you tell Aunt Liu that you were leaving? I was just planning to go to the inn to give you some things, but when I got there I found out you had just left.
I've been rushing here for so long, I'm so tired. Come on, hurry up, Mama Liu, give them the things.
Mother Liu jumped out from somewhere and instructed a few servants to start unloading the goods.
Boxes of all sizes were piled on the ground, and without Zhao's instructions, they were immediately ready to be loaded onto their carriage.
However, they had prepared a lot of things themselves, and the books given by the Huo family were simply not enough to fit them all in.
Seeing this, Liu Jingrou froze for a moment and immediately jumped off the carriage.
"Since there's no room, let's load them back onto our own carriage and send them back. We have carriages back home anyway, so we don't need these two."
He turned around and told the driver to send it back and come back later. During this time, Xiao Lingdang and her group did not say a word and could only watch it all in amazement.
Cheng Che, who was standing by, naturally knew Liu Jingrou, but he didn't expect that the princess would have such a good relationship with Princess Xiang, so his attitude became a little more respectful.
Xiao Lingdang looked at Liu Jingrou helplessly, "Aunt Liu, there's no need to prepare so many things."
Liu Jingrou patted her little face through the window and said, "Of course not. This is a gift from Aunt Liu. If it weren't for the two little ones, Aunt Liu would have wanted to stay with them for a few days."
Your godmother said that living with you is so comfortable and relaxing, and I was really moved by what she said.
But it’s not possible now, I can only wait and find an opportunity in the future. Aunt Zhao must not despise me then.”
Zhao waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, you're welcome. You can come anytime you want. We'll be waiting for you at home."
Liu Jingrou finally became happy and rubbed Xiao Lingling's head reluctantly.
"Okay, then you guys go back quickly. I won't stop you and waste your time. Remember to write to Aunt Liu when you have time, okay? Let's go!"
A few of them waved their hands reluctantly, and finally did not delay any longer, and slowly headed home.
The atmosphere here was relatively relaxed, but on the other side, Jiang Xinian's side was not going so smoothly.
In a dilapidated temple, Jiang Xinian sat against the wall with his arms covered, his brows furrowed, and he looked very depressed.
A young man next to him was also injured. He seemed to feel nothing and sprinkled medicine powder on the wound on his leg and bandaged it with a piece of cloth.
After he had dealt with it, he came to Jiang Xinian and said, "Master, did you pull the wound just now? Let me check it."
Jiang Xinian shook his head. "It's okay. It was just stretched. It's nothing serious. It doesn't need to be rebandaged. The medicine is running low. It's better not to waste it."
The young man nodded without saying anything, looking out the window with cold eyes, "Master, who are they? Why are they chasing us so relentlessly? It seems like they want to kill us."
Jiang Xinian snorted coldly, "There are many people who want to kill me, but they don't have the ability to do it!"
After he finished speaking, he frowned as if he had thought of something, "Did you receive a reply when you sent a message to the sect before?"
The boy shook his head.
Jiang Xinian's uneasiness deepened. "How is this possible? We're not far from the mountain gate. A carrier pigeon takes at most two days to come and go. Today is already the fourth day!"
Something's wrong. Shanming, immediately use your back channel to send a message to your other brothers to find out where they are.
If they are close to the mountain gate, go back immediately to discuss the situation. Also, tell them to be careful. Those assassins may come looking for them, so it's always a good idea to be more careful."
The young man looked at Jiang Xinian hesitantly.
Jiang Xinian naturally knew what he was worried about, and pretended to be relaxed and moved a few times, "Alright, hurry up, this is an important matter. Have you forgotten what your master does? It's impossible for them to kill me.
If I can't beat them, I can poison them. If I can't poison them, I can run away. Don't worry, I'll hold them back here, you go quickly.
As long as the mountain gate is safe, someone will come to help soon. This time, I must find out who is so tired of living that dares to mess with our miracle doctor sect!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be trying to be stubborn, the young man left a bottle of medicine powder, gave Jiang Xinian a few words of advice, and was about to leave.
Before leaving, Jiang Xinian suddenly grabbed his collar and patted his shoulder, "Alright, go ahead. Be careful. I, your master, am counting on you!"
The young man nodded solemnly, "Yes, Master, you must be careful and safe. I will be back soon."
