Chapter 66: The Floating Tribe Spiritual Girl 17



The refugee camp appears to be very simple as it was built in an emergency.

The evening breeze that blows from time to time makes the house sound like ghosts howling.

The more Fu Manxing listened, the more terrified he felt, and he could only hold the piccolo in his hand to relieve his tension.

I thought about my tribesmen for a while, and then I thought of Nangong Yun.

Is he working on something now, or has he taken a break?

I fell asleep slowly in a daze.

The next day, early in the morning.

Wake up when the sky is full of stars.

When she went out and saw Uncle Zhong already taking care of the patient, she was a little surprised.

"Uncle Zhong, you're up so early?"

"Haha, Manxing, why don't you get some more sleep? You were so tired yesterday."

When he heard this, he laughed out loud.

His method of decocting medicine is much simpler than acupuncture.

"No, I'm almost done sleeping."

In fact, Fu Manxing didn’t sleep well. She waved her hand and simply washed up. She took the medicine box and prepared to continue working.

"Manxing, can I help out here? If you find it annoying, I can just watch from the side."

Uncle Zhong spoke with embarrassment. It was his lifelong obsession to study medicine and save lives. If he could learn more, he would give it a try even if it meant losing face.

"Sure, Uncle Zhong, you can give me some pointers."

Fu Manxing readily agreed, and she was happy to spread her medical skills.

Just then there was a noise coming from the direction of the gate.

"Miss Manxing, Uncle Zhong, I am the big bull, he is the second bull, and we were sent here by the adults to help."

Daniel scratched his head and explained.

Nangong Yun went to the refugee camp yesterday to ask who was willing to come here. When other people were hesitant and worried, the two of them volunteered and raised their hands.

After that rescue incident, they had a high degree of trust in Nangong Yun and did not hesitate at all.

With Da Niu and the other man helping to feed the medicine, Fu Manxing and Zhong Bo had more energy to treat other patients.

On the other side is the county magistrate's office.

"Master Chen, please bring the supplies over."

Lord Li bowed respectfully to Chen Xin, who was a higher official than him.

"Hahaha, no, no, now that the supplies have been delivered, I'll go back first."

Chen Xin waved his hand and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Master Chen, you've been traveling all this way, so why not follow me to the dining hall to have a meal and experience the characteristics of Dan County?"

"Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful."

Lord Chen stroked his beard and thought for a while before agreeing.

During the meal, a servant came in from the doorway, bent over and whispered something in Lord Li's ear.

Chen Xin, who was indulging in wine and women, did not notice it.

What!

When Lord Li heard this, he was shocked and quickly spoke to the attendant.

"Go and invite Master Su over!"

Li Qing didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the servant left.

He looked at Chen who was drinking and having fun with two singing girls, drank a glass of wine and asked.

"Sir, my subordinates have counted the supplies and silver and found only 30,000 silver dollars. Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Sir Li, the higher-ups have sent us so much supplies. If you have any objections, you can go and talk to the Prime Minister."

"Okay, okay, I've finished my meal, I'm going back first."

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Chen Xin pushed the singer beside him away and prepared to leave.

"Who allowed you to leave?"

At this time, Nangong Yun lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room.

He was dressed in a gorgeous black brocade robe and a tall jade crown, which made him look very cold and noble.

"Who are you? I was ordered to deliver supplies. How dare you detain me?"

Chen Xin felt afraid when he saw Nangong Yun, who had an elegant demeanor. He stood up and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, he was blocked by the sword drawn by Nangong Yun.

"Master Chen doesn't know my identity. I wonder if he recognizes the sword here?"

Nangong Yun waved the sword in his hand in a good mood.

After hearing what Nangong Yun said, Chen Xin carefully observed the weapon across his neck.

The gold ring on the hilt is very finely carved and inlaid with red and blue jade gems. The sword body is smooth and translucent, and the tassel is made of gold and silver threads.

This, this is the sword of the Third Prince, General Yun.

"You, you are the Third Prince!"

Chen Xin spoke with a look of disbelief.

He knew that someone from the capital had been sent to Danzhou, but he didn't know that this person would be Nangong Yun!

If he knew it was him, he would definitely not dare to participate in corruption this time.

Nangong Yun looked at Chen Xin's surprised expression and basically guessed that Nangong Qi wanted to assassinate him on the road, so he did not reveal that it was he who came.

This unexpected opportunity allowed him to deal with these corrupt officials.

"Since you know my identity, why don't you kneel down and salute me?"

Nangong Yun looked at Chen Xin disdainfully, which frightened him so much that he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Knock knock! Your humble servant greets His Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune."

"No need to be polite."

"Sir Chen, before I came here, the Emperor told me that he would send 500,000 silver taels. You have so little supplies, don't you want to go to the Dali Temple?"

When Chen Xin heard this, he immediately knelt down again after just getting up.

"Your Highness! This is none of my business. I'm just a lowly official. It was the local officials along the way who insisted on collecting tolls that caused the tolls to be lost. This is none of my business. Please investigate!"

He was very frightened at the moment. Although Nangong Yun was no longer the crown prince, there were still many officials in the capital who believed in Nangong Yun, not to mention that he had won so many battles and his prestige in the hearts of the people was much higher than that of Nangong Qi.

No one can predict whether Nangong Yun will be able to turn things around in the future for corrupt officials like them who change their stance according to the situation, but they certainly dare not offend him.

"Mingcha?"

Nangong Yun retracted his sword and looked at Chen Xin coldly.

"Master Chen, are you telling the truth? Do I need to remind you that the sword in my hand was given to me by the late emperor, and it can kill all corrupt officials in the world. You'd better think it through before you speak!"

He looked arrogant and the arrogance in his tone was undisguised.

The first time he displayed his royal aura in Danzhou, he frightened Lord Li, who was silent beside him.

It seemed that the prince had treated him very well. Thinking of the several times he had contradicted Nangong Yun before, he felt guilty and wanted to slap himself twice.

Damn him, he actually dared to question the prince's decision.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I'll tell you everything. I didn't embezzle the 500,000 taels of silver. The officials along the way were involved in this. They used their official positions to pressure me. I had no choice! Your Highness, for this disaster, I can confiscate all my own money, all of it."

Chen Xin's tearful performance might have made people who didn't know the story believe in this superb performance.

After hearing this, Nangong Yun didn't know whether he could continue to ask, because the biggest fish had not been caught yet.

"Oh? Is that really the case?"

"Master Chen, think carefully. If you confess everything, I can even plead for mercy and spare your life."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I was forced to do this by them."

Chen Xin now finally understood why no one dared to accept such a simple task, and even after he agreed, his good friend sighed at him.

This was a thankless task and could easily lead to fatal disaster. He shuddered unconsciously when he thought of Lord Shen who had invited him to the Prime Minister's residence for tea.

He absolutely cannot tell this!
