"Master, since this man surnamed Zhao has been recruited from the Mighty General's Mansion, why don't we secretly escort him back to Beijing in case of emergency?"
In the middle of the night, heavy snow fell in the sky. The guards looked at Zhao Rong and Zhao Rong who had been dead on the ground for an unknown period of time, and began to express their opinions.
Their trip was called Princess Guards, but they were actually ANBU trained by the Qi family for many years. They had been secretly protecting their master all these years.
As the secret leader, Mu Tian and his deputy Qin Zhui were able to speak in front of Qi Xiao.
"The Mighty General's Mansion supported Taizu's founding of the country. Although it has not been as powerful as the Duke's Mansion and several princes' mansions for hundreds of years, it is still a behemoth with deep roots in the Jokhang Dynasty. Now it is married to the three princesses, the crown prince and Fang Guifei. Guaranteed, it’s impossible to bring them down with these little minions.”
Qi Xiao didn't even look at the two corpses on the ground, turned around and walked towards the inn.
There were other secret guards at the rear who picked up the body and sent it to a place where the body was burned not far away.
A great disaster will be followed by a great epidemic, and the same will be true after a great war.
So after cleaning up all the bandits, Qi Xiao immediately issued an order to burn them on the spot.
"Can we just let them blatantly assassinate the princess and hinder your disaster relief?"
Mu Tian frowned. He was once the lieutenant of the crown prince Qi Shen, and he knew how difficult it was for his third son to get to where he is today.
However, in order to get this opportunity, the princess did not hesitate to sacrifice her own safety and issued a military order not to hold anyone accountable.
So although they won tonight, they were still passive.
Unexpectedly, when Qi Xiao heard this, he smiled instead of worrying, his light-colored pupils filled with an extremely cold and stern edge:
"Do you think Feng Xi is really a fool? Think about it carefully. She said she wouldn't pursue those people, but she didn't say she wouldn't fight back when others came to kill her. Didn't she say that? Kill, keep killing, until some people are killed Until it hurts.”
"what do you mean……"
Mu Tian's eyes lit up, as if he had caught something instantly.
Before Qi Xiao could speak again, Mu Tian had already ordered ten people to line up and sneak towards the back mountain silently.
According to Pang Hua's confession, there is a trap up there.
At the same time, in the Liangzhou government office, the prefect Liu Quanping was sitting in his study, always paying attention to what was going on outside Liangzhou city.
He had received news as early as yesterday that the disaster relief team headed by Princess Zhaoming would enter his jurisdiction tonight. They would either stay at the inn or rush into the city overnight.
But no matter which one they are, they will be attacked by bandits, and the purpose of the attack is to kill Princess Zhaoming on the spot and make her vomit out the food she ate for disaster relief before entering Liangzhou.
Of course, as mentioned above, even though they had tampered with the escort army and the only general in the team was one of theirs, things were unpredictable and they did not rule out that Zhaoming might break out of the encirclement or send people to Liangzhou for help. possible.
For this reason, he must always be alert and ready to strangle in the name of acceptance, or to take the messenger into custody and let Princess Zhaoming fend for herself.
"Sir, it's almost midnight, and there's no movement outside the city. I guess the matter is done."
Master Zhu Fu quickly walked into the house, his brows and eyes filled with joy.
As long as they don't have to do it themselves, this is a good thing.
"Okay, you immediately send someone to inform Captain Wang and ask him to lead his troops in formation outside the city gate. I will then go out of the city to look for him."
Liu Quanping smiled and said that the big thing was done. In two days, he would kill some refugees who went south in the name of suppressing bandits and send them to the superiors. This matter should be almost done.
Gee, who would have thought that this great little phoenix would actually become Liu Quanping's pledge to gain a foothold in the princeling party?
In the early morning, Feng Xi was woken up by the sound of asking for permission from outside. Because she was such a weirdo, she did not bring a maid with her, so Mr. Li Ge and others who were concerned about disaster relief could only shout outside the door at the top of their lungs.
They didn't want to disturb the princess's rest. Didn't the consort disappear after leaving a dozen people outside the princess's door last night to protect her?
"Qi Xiao is a liar!"
Feng Xi turned her grief and anger into appetite, biting spring rolls while listening to a group of officials report the situation.
According to the counting by Mr. Li Ge and others, their losses last night were enough for them to return home.
Among them, the convoy lost 411 people out of 1,000 people, and nearly 100 people were injured in the battle. Fortunately, most of them were minor injuries, so there were still more than 520 people who were able to continue on the road.
But the guards are still there, but the supplies are gone...
That's right, they had a total of twenty baggage trucks, and eleven of them were burned down by bandits.
"I originally thought that there were still nine carts of things left. We could go to Liangzhou first and then ask the court to mobilize them. But who would have thought..."
When Mr. Li Ge said this, he felt a little depressed.
On the side, Liu Wanshi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, summoned a boy and brought a handful of fine sand and wheat straw to Feng Xi.
Feng Xi: "?"
Seeing Feng Xi's complicated expression, Mr. Li Ge could only say in a deep voice:
"That's right, the remaining nine cars are actually filled with these deceptive things."
Suppressing the three question marks on her head, Feng Xi smiled and said:
"So you didn't even know what was on the baggage train in the first place?"
Mr. Li Ge didn't answer this, but Lin Qian, the minister of household affairs who was responsible for managing supplies.
"To tell you the story back to the princess, the villain is cunning, and not every car in this car is full of scraps."
After saying that, someone brought up a bag of flour and split it directly in the middle.
I saw that the bag of flour was only surrounded by flour, and most of the middle was made up of wheat straw and fine sand.
The elaborate disguise is really hard to detect.
If they hadn't accidentally spilled a bag during the inspection, they might not have been able to figure out the secret.
"Princess, it's us who are incompetent, and we are the ones who harmed you..."
As the first assistant minister in this disaster relief, Mr. Li Ge turned pale with anger. The spiritual energy he had just replenished with a small apple yesterday was showing signs of dissipation now.
So Feng Xi took out another one like a magic trick, stuffed it into his hand and said:
"I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be anxious yet."
Mr. Li Ge looked at the apple in his hand at a loss as to what to do, thinking that the situation was so bad, how could he not be anxious?
As a result, Feng Xi said:
"You are too impatient. This disaster relief has just begun, and the worse is yet to come."
Mr. Li Ge: "..."
Officials: "..."
Seeing that Mr. Li Ge was about to vomit blood due to Feng Xi's anger, a guard walked in quickly outside the door and said:
"Princess, there are a large number of people coming from the direction of Liangzhou City. Look, they look like people from the Liangzhou government office."
"Mansion office?"
Hearing this, Mr. Li Ge and others couldn't care less about their anger and almost immediately went to the window to check.
Sure enough, there was a team of a hundred people in the distance, headed by a blue cloth official sedan, which was being carried to the inn by four burly bearers.
According to the specifications, the person sitting in the sedan chair is the prefect of a state, and the man riding a tall horse and wearing soft armor behind the sedan is undoubtedly the captain of a state.
If these people had come last night, they would have applauded and applauded, but they happened to be at this stall where there was a huge flaw in supplies...
What Li Gelao and others didn't know was that while they were having a headache, Liu Quanping and others who also got the news that there were troops standing outside the post station were also confused.
What about cleaning up the mess you promised?
