Chapter 259 Don’t be too hasty with women
The next morning, outside the woods where Prince Ding had camped, a field of corpses filled the air with the stench of blood. Chi Xiao strode over and reported to Xiao Nanchen, "Your Highness, these are members of the Tianxin Sect."
Xiao Nanchen was reading the letter that Golden Eagle had just sent back, and he nodded without raising his head.
In fact, it is conceivable that apart from those crazy people from Tianxin Sect, who else could there be in the Daxuan Dynasty?
It seems that the news of his detoxification has spread... Knowing that he will be weak for a few days after the detoxification, some people finally couldn't hold back and took action.
Xiao Nanchen seemed to be smiling.
He only mentioned the matter of his detoxification to his harmless second brother when he met him at Liaodong Pass, and the news spread.
The second prince, who can be bullied by anyone, is quite fast.
He had been prepared for this, and the attackers were killed by the Changning Guards in secret, while the small army that attacked head-on was blown to pieces by the "grenade" that Shen Ning had given him when he was sending his bride off.
That thing was indeed as powerful as she had written in the instructions...it seemed that what she knew was endless.
Thinking of Chen Ning, His Royal Highness Prince Ding couldn't help but smile.
Shen Ning, who is good in every way... is his!
But when he saw the reply letter from Shen Ning brought back by the golden eagle in his hand, Xiao Nanchen felt a little worried again.
He had the golden eagle deliver a letter to Chen Ning. The words in the letter were extremely corny, for example, the first sentence was: My wife Ning Ning...
When he wrote it, Xiao Nanchen was filled with emotion... and then there were all kinds of heartfelt expressions of reluctance...
As a result, Shen Ning's reply consisted of only five words: Prince Ding, please respect yourself!
After Chi Xiao finished his report, he saw his master's appearance and remembered Cheng Ying's style in the past, so he asked cautiously: "Master, is the princess replying?"
Xiao Nanchen nodded and said with great reserve, "She told me to take care of myself."
Respect yourself, take care of yourself...that's pretty much the same thing.
Chi Xiao immediately said, "The princess really cares about the master."
Xiao Nanchen raised his eyebrows: "Of course..."
Shen Ning only found out about Xiao Nanchen's assassination two days later. Even though she had expected it, she still couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart.
Fortunately, Xiao Nanchen was not seriously injured and only suffered some minor injuries.
When she returned to the Princess' Mansion, she saw the letter from Xiao Nanchen. There was some blood on the letter paper, but Xiao Nanchen's words were understated, only saying that the "grenade" was very powerful... What does it mean to be grateful to my wife for her foresight?
Pooh!
shameless!
This time, Shen Ning's reply was ten words: Prince Ding's shamelessness is rare in the world.
When Xiao Nanchen received the reply, Chi Xiao happened to be next to him... He immediately asked with a curious look on his face.
Then, His Royal Highness Prince Ding said leisurely, "Her reply this time was twice as long as last time... and she even said that this prince is unrivaled in the world!"
Five words—ten words, double indeed!
Something that is rarely seen in the world is unparalleled in the world!
Chi Xiao immediately said, "The princess and the master have a deep bond and deep respect for each other. I am truly envious."
"Nothing."
Xiao Nanchen said calmly, "When you meet someone you like in the future, you must let them see your uniqueness and conquer them with your own charm. Then... they will recognize, admire, and remember you."
Chi Xiao bowed and said solemnly, "I will learn from you."
Soon, His Royal Highness Prince Ding's letter arrived at Beihai Prefecture...
Shen Ning knew that he had already made arrangements and was recovering better day by day, so she ignored him and did not reply.
He did something and then ran away, then turned around and pretended nothing happened. How shameless.
So, when a few days passed and Chi Xiao still hadn't seen His Royal Highness Prince Ding read the letter, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't I seen the master read the letter these past two days?"
"Oh, I'm busy with my affairs, so I wrote to her asking her not to write anymore to avoid being distracted."
His Royal Highness Prince Ding looked calm and nonchalant.
Chi Xiao immediately said, "Master, you are truly decisive and swift. I admire you."
He felt that he would be able to replace Chengying's position soon... Turns out it wasn't that difficult, just one word: shoot.
At the head, His Royal Highness Prince Ding nodded reservedly: "This is how you should treat a woman. Don't be too aggressive or proactive. You must know how to maintain your own composure. Only then will she be more interested in you."
Chi Xiao seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded seriously, "I understand."
A moment later, when Chi Xiao returned, he suddenly saw from afar that his master was strangling the golden eagle's neck with a ferocious look on his face.
"Is there really one? Or did you eat it? There's no way it didn't..."
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
Chi Xiao hurried forward: "But what did this beast do wrong?"
His Royal Highness Prince Ding immediately let go of the golden eagle and smiled, "It's nothing. It just stole a field mouse and I thought it was disgusting."
Next to it, the golden eagle's green eyes were filled with grief, anger and grievance.
Da Piaoliang didn't reply... Even if I strangled it to death, it still wouldn't reply to him.
Baby feels wronged!
"Gugu..."
Just as Xiao Nanchen was returning to Beijing despite the assassinations, Chen Ning in Beihai Prefecture was busy as hell.
She sorted out the accounts of the Shipyard and Coal Hill.
Those people only gave her an account of her debts, but it didn't matter, she had money!
Anyone who withheld or delayed wages was notified to start paying the overdue wages... The entire Beihai Prefecture was alarmed.
The people of Beihai Prefecture have always been poor and humble and have been accustomed to oppression. Here, the emperor is far away and the prefects and county magistrates are the local tyrants who hold the power of life and death over them.
In addition to the original civilians, there are also exiled criminals. Needless to say, those prisoners are already guilty, so how can anyone support them and ask for fairness?
No one expected that the withheld and overdue wages would one day be paid to them. At first, no one even dared to collect the money, for fear that there was a trap waiting for them.
After all, the oil and water are only scraped away, so how can you ever see it flowing back?
But when a few people who really couldn't survive risked their lives to collect their wages, everyone went crazy...
Almost half of the people in Beihai Prefecture flocked to the coal mines or shipyards where they used to work, lining up to receive money and sign their names!
The people distributing the money were obviously the ones who had come out of seclusion with the princess. They were all energetic and strong, and no one scolded or beat them at all.
Xu Shuo stood aside, looking at the people who were crying with joy, his eyes filled with tears.
After he was released, he found out that all the officials in Beihai Prefecture had quit their jobs... He was panicked at first, but after meeting Shen Qingbai, he was no longer panicked.
Shen Qingbai's expression was very calm. "Wouldn't it be better if those parasites who didn't do anything for the people and only knew how to exploit them were gone? What had they done in the past? What could the people of Beihai Prefecture really count on them for?"
Xu Shuo suddenly understood and took over the task of paying the overdue silver.
He knew that his family had a grudge with Shen Ning, no, with Princess Yong'an. Xu Shuo was already grateful to the other party for saving his life. When he found out that Shen Ning actually gave the task to him, Xu Shuo was so touched that he almost cried.
After that, he personally watched over the disbursement of funds every day, and would work by lamplight at night to reconcile the accounts, not allowing even the slightest mistake...
