Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Jiang Wan said at the right time, "Is the flower girl scared?
If you're afraid, just come down and we'll find another way. "
"I'm not afraid!"
Hua Xiao was heartbroken and denied it loudly. How could she be afraid? She still has to complete the task assigned by the Sixth Prince.
Thinking like this, Hua Xiao grabbed the rope with both hands, kicked his feet slightly, and his body slid along the rope for less than half a distance.
However, before she reached the middle, she suddenly didn't know what to do. Looking down at the river below, she was so frightened that her head felt dizzy.
"Flower girl, slide over!"
Chen Lizheng shouted loudly, but the sound was carried by the wind, so Hua Xiao could not hear it clearly.
She clung to the rope tightly, feeling confused.
This... what should she do?
Hua Xiao's hand moved slightly, like an ant, with terrifyingly slow movements.
Ren Bang frowned. If everyone went through it like this, even if it was safe, it would be extremely time-consuming.
I guess I'll have to spend the whole day here today.
Above the rope, Hua Xiao was still crawling slowly. She kept changing her hands and her arms were slightly numb.
No, she's going to fall if she keeps doing this!
Hua Xiao's pretty face turned pale with fright. Fortunately, her sense was still there at the moment, and she quickly changed direction.
At this moment, she had not reached the middle of the rope, and was still two-thirds of the way to the other side of the river. It was still too late to go back.
So everyone saw Hua Xiao changing places and slowly grinding back.
Everyone:...
"Li Zheng, look, how can we get through this situation?"
Ren Bang sighed. Hua Xiao was different from the others. She had been riding in the carriage, but the people behind him were all exhausted and looked like nothing.
Of course, except the Song family.
Chen Lizheng spread his hands and did not want to offend Ren Bang, so he had to say directly to him:
"My lord, it's not that I'm unkind, but someone told me not to let you exiles go too smoothly."
He said this loudly on purpose, not only to tell Ren Bang and the others, but also to the exiles.
This move was a bit heartbreaking for Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan, because everyone, including these officials, might blame them in their hearts.
"Let me tell you, Jiang Wan and the others must have offended someone!"
Song Er Niang was so brave, she actually dared to speak so directly. The others lowered their heads and said nothing because they were afraid of Jiang Wan.
But Jiang Wan knew that everyone was probably complaining about them.
"What are you talking about? Did they name you?"
Song Jiuli immediately retorted loudly, looked at Chen Lizheng again, and said confidently:
"Li Zheng, why don't you tell everyone if our family has offended someone else?"
She didn't believe that Chen Lizheng could still say that they had offended the Sixth Prince!
Chen Lizheng:......
Can he say that he doesn't know?
The county magistrate just hinted. Can you tell him this clearly?
Obviously not!
"Can't you tell me?"
Song Jiuli raised her chin slightly proudly, and for a moment she had the aura of the eldest lady from the Kyoto War Palace.
She snorted coldly and glared at Mrs. Song, "If you can't tell me, don't talk nonsense. Maybe you have offended someone."
"Your family loves to offend the most."
Mrs. Song murmured, not daring to speak loudly. After all, she was also afraid of Jiang Wan's fist.
"evidence?"
Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes, her eyes were a little scary, and Mrs. Song was so frightened that Mrs. Song shrank her neck and didn't dare to say anything.
At this time, Huaxiao, who had been lingering, finally got off the rope with weak legs.
Wen Ruyu had no choice but to step forward and support the person, "I told you not to try too hard, why can you try so hard?"
At this moment, Wen Ruyu, who had previously disliked Hua Xiao, rarely felt a pity for Hua Xiao.
Hua Xiao's face turned pale, "Actually... it's not that scary. I just thought that I wouldn't be able to tell you how I feel if it's over.
So I slipped away and came back halfway, so that I can share my experience with you, right? "
This man was talking big words, and his purpose was naturally to let Jiang Wan and his family slip by.
Everyone:...
If it weren't for your pale face and trembling legs, we would really believe it.
"You're not afraid, why are your legs shaking?"
Jiang Wan smiled half-heartedly, and Hua Xiao's disguise was revealed in one sentence, and Hua Xiao was a little annoyed.
"I... wasn't shaking."
"Flower girl, you should look at your face in the mirror. It's as white as a ghost."
Song Jiuli's words made Hua Xiao even more embarrassed. She could only say harshly:
"Anyway, I tried it for you. The rope is quite tight and safe."
After speaking, Huaxiao didn't hesitate and quickly climbed onto the carriage, looking a bit embarrassed.
Wen Ruyu said nothing and followed him into the carriage.
Everyone in the crowd only dared to whisper, "Look at her like that, she's so scared, and she actually says it's not difficult."
"She couldn't be hurting us on purpose."
"Speaking of which, she seems to be having trouble with the Song family."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let that tigress hear you."
"..."
The atmosphere became a little cold for a moment, and Ren Bang grabbed a handful of hair as he was bald.
Chen Lizheng raised his lips slightly. It seemed that the task assigned to him by the county magistrate was about to be completed.
Jiang Wan rubbed her fingertips unconsciously. How to solve this situation?
The other party made it clear that they were unwilling to provide any help because of their status.
Just when everyone was worried, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and then everyone saw some familiar clothes.
This is the kind of clothes only people in the palace can wear.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other in tacit understanding, and the person to solve the problem was here.
Everyone looked over there, and the horses stopped in front of them, with a carriage in the middle.
Soon the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a father-in-law who was familiar to Song Jiuyuan.
Come and be happy.
Although he is not the most trusted eunuch around the current emperor, he is still a big role.
"Princess Zhan accepts the order!"
Laixi got off the carriage with the imperial edict in hand, and his attitude towards Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan softened a lot.
Although he was not used to it, Jiang Wan followed everyone and knelt down, but it was Song Jiuyuan who sat there motionless.
"My body is too weak to kneel down."
"We believe the emperor can understand."
Laixi smiled at Song Jiuyuan. Although he only restored their names, Laixi was a smart man.
Knowing that no one can predict what will happen in the future, he never reveals his emotions easily.
With a crash, even Hua Xiao in the carriage was pulled down by Wen Ruyu and knelt on the ground.
Hua Xiao was unhappy. How could she, a modern person, kneel down so easily? Damn the ancient feudal system.
When she becomes queen later, she will have to change things.
"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:
The war princess, Song Jiang, was smart and kind-hearted, and solved the smallpox problem for me. I was very relieved, pardoned the nine clans of Song Jiuyuan, and restored their titles.
Another war king, Song Jiuyuan, was very resourceful and specially granted Jiuzhou as a fiefdom and several rewards. "
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan:...
The two complained silently in their hearts that the Dog Emperor was indeed a Dog Emperor and would not give them a chance to return to Beijing at all.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, Jiang Wan accepts the order!"
Jiang Wan stepped forward and respectfully took the imperial edict from Eunuch Xi's hand. She complained, and she knew how to do it on the surface.
