Yichen's eyes suddenly widened and he said anxiously, "It's the city lord! It must be the city lord who returned to the city!"
Liu Shengsheng frowned, "Why do you say that?"
Yichen supported his body and slowly sat on the head of the bed, and then told everything that happened not long ago.
Including the words he and Xiaoyi overheard on the roof, they were all conveyed to Liu Shengsheng word for word.
After listening to his words, Liu Shengsheng's face became more solemn, "In other words, the city lord probably guessed what you were eavesdropping on, so he bribed a killer to hunt you down?"
"That must be the case! Besides, I offended them last night, and they knew my identity. Apart from them, no one else would come after me. After all, in the middle of the night, besides them, I can't think of anyone else. Already..."
"Not to mention whether the people who are chasing you are them. Even if they are not, they are secretly plotting to damage my reputation. It is still worth a visit in person."
Liu Shengsheng narrowed her eyes and said word by word: "And if the person who hurt you is really him, even if he is the city lord, I will make him pay the price!"
Yichen said seriously: "But we have no evidence, there is nothing we can do against them..."
"They are trying to slander me as a witch. Do you have any evidence?"
Yichen shook his head.
Liu Shengsheng said softly: "It doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about the rest. You just need to have a good rest. When I finish my work, we can continue on our way."
Yichen naturally believed in Liu Shengsheng's strength, so he nodded obediently, "Okay."
Then Liu Shengsheng walked out.
After going out, she took the initiative to hold Nan Muze's hand, "Aze, we may have to spend an extra day or two here."
Nan Muze smiled slightly and said: "With you, no matter where I am, it doesn't matter."
"You are getting better and better at talking now."
With that said, Liu Shengsheng had already walked down the hillside towards the shore.
It was already broad daylight now, and all the villagers had woken up early.
As soon as they saw Liu Shengsheng, many people knelt on the ground and shouted for gods.
Although most people called her princess, Liu Shengsheng still deliberately helped those who called her fairy.
"Thank you, the fairy princess! The princess is kind-hearted and willing to send so many people to rebuild our home. She is really a living fairy!"
Liu Shengsheng smiled gently at the villager, "I'm not a god, I just understand the signs of the coming flood."
As soon as these words came out, the villagers knelt down and worshiped again.
"Isn't it the work of gods to be able to know the signs of coming flash floods?"
"Yes, your highness the princess is the reincarnation of a god, right?"
"Then can the princess know the omens of other disasters?"
"Is this flood the result of someone angering God?"
"Many people in the city say this is God's punishment for us, but after thinking about it, how can we ordinary people anger God?"
"..."
Listening to every word spoken by the villagers, Liu Shengsheng sighed and pretended to hesitate.
The villagers seemed to have noticed something, and asked her one after another, "Why did Her Royal Highness sigh?"
"After this flood, there won't be any more floods in the future, right?"
"Your Highness, does she know if we can still rebuild our home on the original site?"
"What are you talking about? Our ancestors have lived on this land for generations. How can we move away just because of a flood?"
"..."
Liu Shengsheng ignored those people, just sighed again, turned around and left.
Her behavior made the villagers anxious.
I always feel like she has something to say but doesn’t dare to say it...
Not long after, an aunt's voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Did you hear that?
Last night, a close associate of Her Royal Highness the Princess was assassinated. "
As soon as these words came out, many villagers gathered around.
"It seems that something like this happened. Did her cronies go to save A Yong?"
The aunt nodded and said seriously: "Yes, we couldn't save them. Both of them died on the way. Her cronies were also seriously injured. I heard that they were injured by people from the City Lord's Mansion. !」
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
All the villagers looked at the aunt.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly?"
"So Ayong was really captured by the people from the City Lord's Mansion?"
The aunt put her hands on her waist and whispered: "Yes, not only Ayong, but also the leaders in other villages were all arrested by the city lord. I heard that some of those people were beaten to death by the city lord and cut into pieces. It’s a very miserable death!”
The villagers were shocked and all covered their mouths in horror.
The aunt said nonchalantly: "Not only that, I heard that the city lord also planned to spread rumors outside, saying that the flood was caused by the real princess returning to the country and being blocked by heaven. They planned to kill Her Royal Highness. She was fabricated into a witch in order to force the real princess away!"
"The three people just now were sent by the city lord. Their purpose was to kill A Yong's family and all the people who knew about it. However, they were stopped by Her Royal Highness the Princess and soaked in the water. Fortunately Your Highness, otherwise dozens of people in our village would have died at the hands of those killers."
As soon as the aunt finished speaking, the villagers immediately started chattering.
"Let me tell you, three killers suddenly appeared, all of them were vicious, and they were drowned in the flood by the Princess's people. It turned out to be this reason..."
"Isn't it terrible? They actually want to kill our entire village?"
"Fortunately, Her Majesty's people stopped them, otherwise we would have been in danger!"
"That city lord is too scary. It's not enough to take away so many men. He also has to take away our entire village."
"No, but the princess and the others will have to leave sooner or later. What will we do when the city lord wants to silence us again?"
"There are only dozens of families in our village. If the city lord really sends killers to destroy them, no one will be able to escape in the end."
"A Yong and Xiao Yi have already died on the way. Could it be that we are the ones below?"
"No wonder the expression on Her Majesty's face just now, she must feel powerless, right?"
"..."
Everyone spoke angrily, and everyone used their imagination to guess the motives of the city lord.
The lady said seriously again:
"Let me tell you, this flood must be a sign from the sky. Maybe the city lord did too many unscrupulous things and angered God, so the flood started!"
"You said that if Her Highness the Princess is really a witch, then why did Fengqing Country have good weather during those years when she was in Fengqing Country? If she could bring disaster to Li Country, then it would definitely be a flood all over the country, not here. ..."
"This is the city lord's territory. God must be punishing the old city lord who returned to the city, so he implicated innocent people like us..."
"The poor princess tried her best to help us and rebuild our home, but the city lord actually wanted to wipe out several of our villages under her eyes, just to slander the princess as a witch. This is so unscrupulous. Already!"
"..."
