The next day, a porridge shack was set up outside the city. The refugees who had been driven out of Dongdu City the day before were able to have a full meal. They were all grateful.
In the court hall, the ministers also argued endlessly about the officials' evacuation of refugees the day before and the drought in North China.
Someone proposed to allocate food for disaster relief. After Mu Chenduan stood up to oppose it, he submitted the work-for-relief method he had written the day before.
After Mu Chenjing read the last word on the paper, there was no emotion on his face. He only said, "I think King Duan's proposal is very wise. Water conservancy projects are indeed the root cause of drought, and working-for-relief is even more important." Conducive to solving the problem of refugees.”
When King Qingyang heard this, he stared at Mu Chenduan coldly with great disdain. He deliberately said, "I just don't know where King Duan came up with such a method."
"I just tried my best to relieve the people's worries, so I came up with this method."
The other ministers all admired Mu Chenduan's wise move, and Mu Chenjing also agreed, and sent King Duan, Left Prime Minister Shen Xu, and Minister of Works Song Changzhou to explore the river course and how to design and construct the places they passed along the way.
Qi Chuchu only knew that she had just finished lunch, and as soon as Mu Chenduan came back, he dismissed the people waiting in her room and said to her, "Come out with me tomorrow."
"Ah? Why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"
“Go explore river design.”
Ah, although the idea was proposed by me, I, Qi Chuchu, only have a general understanding of the original South-to-North Water Diversion Project in the 21st century! Why should I visit the river?
"I dont go."
"It's just that this time it's not up to you, Jia'er."
On the second day after the Holy Will was decided, King Duan and the two adults set off. Princess Duan also personally sent His Highness Prince Duan off. The two of them were very affectionate.
After the carriage had left the Eastern Capital City, several strange noises suddenly came from the carriage of His Highness Prince Duan.
Qi Chuchu, who had been transformed, had just had her acupoints unlocked. She was shocked and angry when she looked at the unfamiliar face in the mirror!
"Why do you have to go with me?!"
"Princess, those who are capable work harder." Mu Chenduan said calmly, looking at the somewhat angry Qi Chuchu with gentle eyes.
In fact, he had another reason for bringing Qi Chuchu out, and that was King Qingyang.
The two of them had completely formed a feud. Now Mu Chenduan was ordered to inspect the terrain and river channels. He would not worry if Qi Chuchu was left alone in the Eastern Capital.
Even though he, the princess, is heartless, she just sees herself as an ally. But Mu Chenduan already regarded Nangong Yuejia as the most important person.
Along the way, Qi Chuchu's identity became Mu Chenduan's personal maid. Since Shen Xu was also a fellow official, his second brother was also there.
When they arrived in Qinzhou, the group was received by the prefect of the state.
Several ministers were talking among themselves, and Qi Chuchu was chosen first. She was bored outside, so she had to kill time by drawing random strokes on the ground with a stone.
After the door to the room opened, Mu Chen Duan laughed a little when he saw what was happening, and called out the new name he had given to Qi Chuchu, "Mingyue, let's go."
"Then, my lord, please have a good rest first. We are all tired from traveling and traveling. I will give you a good banquet in the evening." The magistrate said.
Shen Xu and Song Changzhou said goodbye and left, and Mu Chen pulled Qi Chuchu back to the room.
During his two days in Qinzhou, Qi Chuchu almost never left the magistrate's residence.
Don’t I need this? This bastard even said that someone who could do it would have worked harder to bring me out, and he had to wear a human skin mask every day. It was really a hassle!
The more she thought about it, the angrier Qi Chuchu became. When she set off from Qinzhou to Youzhou, she discussed with Mu Chenduan about returning to Dongdu.
"No."
"You! What do you mean?"
Mu Chenduan looked at Qi Chuchu and said, "Jia'er, there is nothing unusual in Qinzhou. Naturally, you just need to rest, and that's not necessarily the case elsewhere."
"Besides, I don't want you to leave my sight."
"Your reason is really... outrageous." Qi Chuchu said through gritted teeth, then turned her head and ignored him.
Youzhou is a place with winding rivers and numerous tributaries, which is indeed quite complicated.
King Duan, Shen Xu and Song Changzhou went to investigate in three groups. This time, Qi Chuchu was taken out together.
The two people came to the upper reaches of the Minjiang River and found that the terrain was a bit steep, so they followed the river to the lower reaches to check.
Something suddenly passed by her ears, bringing a chill. Before Qi Chuchu could look back, she was held by Mu Chenduan and rolled around several times to avoid the rain of arrows.
"Zhan Yiming!"
Before they could react, several people were already fighting with the masked assassin who had been lurking for an unknown length of time. The assassin was outnumbered.
Qi Chuchu did not hold back. The ring on her hand would kill someone instantly if it penetrated the skin. Coupled with her Poison Technique Qiankun Bag, the three of them escaped after a while.
However, there were also a large number of assassins in their carriages. When Qi Chuchu was looking for another poison, he was stabbed in the left shoulder by an assassin with a sharp knife.
"Jia'er!"
Mu Chenduan's pupils shook, and his eyes turned red. He escaped with a narrow escape this time, and Zhan Yiming was also injured.
After arriving at an inn, Mu Chenduan sent the waiter to invite the doctor, while holding Qi Chuchu's hand tightly.
At this time, Qi Chuchu's face was already pale, his whole body was confused, and even his voice of pain was weak.
After the doctor arrived, the assistant he brought bandaged the wound on Zhan Yiming's arm, but Qi Chuchu's injury was a bit difficult to treat.
The black circle around the wound was obviously due to the poison. Although it was not a fatal poison, the blackened flesh and blood still needed to be removed, otherwise the wound would remain inflamed and unable to heal.
The doctor asked his assistant to find Ma Fei powder and give it to Qi Chuchu first, and then he started to cut out the meat.
Mu Chenduan was heartbroken and distressed.
