After staying in Feihua City for three months, Lianxiang's belly became visibly bigger.
Now she is keeping to herself and has not done anything to embarrass Wen Yuan and the others.
She always thinks about getting married to Quan, and often asks him when it will be clear that the matchmaker will welcome her into the house.
But how could Quan marry a woman he didn't love? He always avoided Lianxiang's questions with evasive words, "It's hard to get married now that you're pregnant. It's better to wait."
But when will this wait happen? Lianxiang felt uncertain and was unwilling to escape from this matter. She asked, "Then you will marry me after I give birth to the child, right?"
"Hmm..." Maybe, Quan said thoughtfully, "You should go out less often these days. Feihua City has not been peaceful for a long time."
"What happened?" Lianxiang didn't know why she became very timid after becoming pregnant.
It's not a big deal, it's just that since the last time I killed the pair of demon-catching master brothers, Feihua City has suddenly had an influx of demon-catching masters.
There are many high-level monster catchers among this group of monster hunters, which gives Quan a headache. Even when he goes out, he is afraid of being discovered, not to mention the two children Nana and Bai Rongrong who are not very advanced.
Now they both only dare to stay in the princess's mansion and stay by Wen Yuan's side without daring to go anywhere.
There are also many monster hunters who come to visit. No, several more came today.
"Princess Xianyang." There were men and women in this group of people, and they were holding a big red brocade box in their hands. "This is a century-old wild ginseng from the Western Regions. I hope the princess will accept it."
Wen Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the ginseng of excellent color in the box, ordered Chunhua to put it away, "You are interested. Are you still used to living in Feihua City?"
"Princess Lao is worried and accustomed to it, but the outside of Feihua City is full of evil spirits waiting for opportunities, which makes us feel very strange."
Wen Yuan chuckled lightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, "It's not surprising, otherwise the two brothers wouldn't have died, right?"
That makes sense... A group of people nodded at the same time and left the princess's mansion not long after sitting.
Not long after, Chunhua ran into the main hall holding a piece of paper torn from outside the city, "Miss, look!"
Most of what was written on it were some indifferent words, except for the last sentence, "The Lord of Feihua City colluded with the demon and broke the laws and heaven will not tolerate it..."
Wen Yuan angrily tore up the paper in his hand and said, "What heaven cannot tolerate!"
No, she had to think of a way. If this continued, all the demon hunters from the Dragon Kingdom would be recruited to Feihua City.
On that day, Wen Yuan restricted people from entering the city because of the special situation in Feihua City.
"Won't this arouse suspicion?" Shen Huaiyan was very worried that Wen Yuan would be hurt by public opinion.
"Doubt it?" Wen Yuan, who was drinking tea at this time, put down the tea cup in his hand and showed a strange smile on his lips, "Feihua City is my territory, the fiefdom given to me by the emperor's decree. Even if they doubt it, As long as my governance methods are within normal limits, who can control me?"
From the day Feihua City was awarded to Wen Yuan as a fief by the emperor, Wen Yuan has been the local overlord of this place, and her rules are the rules.
"Falcon, go to the capital in person, send this letter to the emperor, and ask him not to interfere in Feihua City's affairs. Just say that I have a way to solve all the problems here."
Wen Yuan knew that if things in Feihua City got too big, they would definitely attract the attention of the palace, so she had to take a preemptive strike.
After that day, the entire Feihua City became a completely closed city. Wen Yuan sent heavy troops to guard the two gates at the beginning and end of the city. It was easy to get out, but not so easy to get in.
That day, Wen Yuan was leaning on the railing of the best restaurant in Feihua City and looking into the distance. He looked at the monster hunters hurriedly going below and felt funny in his heart, "Monster catcher? Haha."
Chunhua stood aside. She could already feel the change in the princess's mood. The princess had... no longer sympathized with mortals.
But no matter what, she will follow the young lady unswervingly, for no reason, just for the sisterly relationship over the years and the bowl of hot broth in the snow.
"Miss, we have intercepted many carrier pigeons these days. What do you think we should do?"
I saw Falcon standing in front of Wen Yuan carrying several dead pigeons, "You can roast them and eat them. It's impossible to tell the news."
"Miss, there is a brother and sister outside the door." Chunhua opened the door ajar, "Do you want them to come in? They said they have something important to report."
"No." Wen Yuan said no more and sat in the restaurant all afternoon. It wasn't until the sky darkened that she remembered that it was time to leave.
When returning to the Princess Mansion from the restaurant, Wen Yuan was obviously aware of the silence around here. If it had been in the past, there would have been many small vendors setting up stalls at this time, and there would also be many people shopping and walking.
But since the city was closed, there wasn't even a ghost on the street.
Wen Yuan wanted this effect. The next day, she posted another notice in the city.
The content is probably that because there have been too many monster hunters in the city recently, we are worried that there are powerful monsters lingering in Feihua City, so we have to close the city as a last resort to ensure the safety of the people of Feihua until the monster hunters in the city return. With normal quantities, the lockdown order will be gradually lifted.
This notice instantly aroused the anger in the hearts of the people of Feihua City, "I'm just saying why there are so many demon hunters in this city suddenly. It turns out that's the case. They are just demons. A few demon hunters are enough," he said. With such a large group coming, we can no longer live a good life."
"That's right. I'm a vegetable vendor. I go out of the city before dawn every day to collect vegetables. Now there are so many more officers and soldiers guarding the city gate. It takes me a long time to go out and come in. It's really unlucky. Our Feihua City has always been peaceful. , I really don’t know what they are here for.”
Hearing the complaints from the people, Wen Yuan felt extremely proud and wondered how you, the demon hunters, could survive in such an environment.
Wen Yuan's purpose was just to drive away these demon hunters, but he didn't want to kill them.
But as soon as this notice came out, it really affected the lives of many monster hunters. Even some vendors selling vegetables and meat stopped selling things to the monster hunters.
"We are respected by everyone in other places. How come we are so different here in Feihua City? The people don't have a good look at us monster hunters."
Some demon hunters who saw it more clearly answered his questions, "Princess Xianyang is forcing us to leave. Her notice put all the responsibility for the city's closure on the demon hunters. No wonder the people Don’t want to see us anymore.”
"Then doesn't this mean that she has something evil in her heart? If she has a clear conscience, why is she so anxious to drive us away?"
The younger sister of the two siblings said angrily: "It seems that this rumor is unnecessary. Princess Xianyang may really be in collusion with monsters."
The woman's words made all the monster hunters around her think deeply. The waiter in the inn couldn't bear to see them slandering Wen Yuan like this, so he kicked them out directly, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, we have to close the door." The store is closed, please go elsewhere."
The group of people were still wondering, what time had it just been and now, they were driving people away?
"How long has it been open just now? How can there be any reason to drive guests away?" Several people shouted.
When the waiter saw this, he simply made his words clear and said, "I heard what you just said. I won't entertain you if you speak like this about our princess, but I still remind you to keep your voice down when discussing right and wrong, otherwise other shopkeepers and waiters will hear you. I won’t entertain you when I arrive.”
Several people were kicked out of the inn like this. When they went to a nearby store, the shopkeeper there did not entertain them. "You guys should go to other houses and ask. Our houses are next to each other and the news is all connected. You What you said has already reached our stores, please leave."
After hitting the wall in several houses one after another, several people simply left Feihua City in anger, except for the two brothers and sisters.
"Miss, I think these two brothers and sisters are very similar to the two I met in Yandu before." Chunhua observed them carefully from a height.
"Like?" Hearing what she said, Wen Yuan also paid more attention, "It doesn't look like him. He looks completely different."
Chunhua asked Wen Yuan to take a closer look, "It's not just the appearance, but their behavior and conversation, they are all very similar to the brother and sister."
"In that case, let's send a few people to observe more and see if Rong entered the city in disguise." Wen Yuan is now more attentive to these things.
After a few days, most of the demon hunters who could not stand the indifference of the people in the city left, but there were still some who stayed in this place persistently, as if they would not leave until they caught a demon they recognized.
Wen Yuan was helpless, but she also planned to fight this group of people to the end, "Miss, our people discovered that the brother and sister were the ones who posted that kind of notice outside the city."
"Then what are you waiting for? Catch them back."
"It's too late, Miss. When we found out, they left Feihua City as fast as they could after posting the last one. They have long since disappeared."
Wen Yuan frowned and recalled the events of the past few days. He didn't know what their purpose was, but they must have come for him.
After some time, Feihua City gradually returned to its former peace. Although some monster hunters still stayed here, Wen Yuan still chose to lift the ban on Feihua City. Now it has returned to the free place it once was. The city that never sleeps.
"Great, it seems that the problem is indeed those demon hunters. You see, Princess Xianyang lifted the ban as soon as they left. Now you no longer have to go to the government to report it."
"Isn't that right? I'm almost suffocated these days when I can't move around in the city. Let me go and have a drink!"
"Let's go! I won't come back until I'm drunk today!" A group of people walked shoulder to shoulder towards the tavern.
At this time, Wen Yuan, who was observing them from a high place, didn't know that danger was quietly approaching, and the brother and sister who appeared in Feihua City would be the last people she would not get rid of as soon as possible.
