Ji Changying watched clearly from the side, and felt a little admiration for Zhang Leyao in her heart.
Zhong Lizhou's performance was obvious enough, but this girl could still persist for so long without giving up. From another perspective, it was quite infatuated.
It's just that I'm so ruthless!
No matter how hard you try, it's all in vain.
"Master Zhang, have you found a good place to live?"
Zhong Lizhou looked at the sky outside and looked at Zhang Juzheng questioningly.
Just when Zhang Juzheng was about to speak, he received a look that looked like a daughter asking for help, and his words turned around: "Not yet..."
"You might as well go to Prince Ping's Mansion to settle down first. I'm the only one living in the Mansion, so it's very relaxed."
"This couldn't be better."
Zhang Juzheng agreed wholeheartedly, and Zhang Leyao's eyes flashed with joy.
The food was served soon, and a group of people were just busy on their way. They hadn't eaten hot food for a long time, and their eyes couldn't turn around when they saw these meals.
Ji Changying had just eaten and was not hungry at all. She got up and walked to the window to get some air.
I happened to see Xie Siheng riding on a horse and walking in the snow with a thick layer of snow on his body. The black feather guards behind him were escorting more than a hundred people and were about to leave the city.
In such a cold weather, all those people were wearing thin clothes and walking barefoot on the ground. All of them had tattoos on their faces, and their eyes were full of panic, even Zhierte, who was still in his arms, was the same.
At this innocent age, their faces were full of confusion, as if they didn't understand why they ended up in such an end today after they were sleeping well in bed yesterday.
When passing by the White Crane Tower, some of the prisoners couldn't bear the smell of the food inside. They rushed to leave the team and come in to find something to eat. Xie Siheng on horseback made a decisive move and held the long sword in his hand. The sword whizzed by and pinned the man to the ground. The man fell to the ground before he could even scream.
Whether it was the people outside the restaurant or the prisoners in the team, they were all shocked and the whole hall screamed.
The men from the Black Feather Guards stepped forward and pulled out Xie Siheng's sword, wiped it clean carefully, and presented it to Xie Siheng with both hands.
He glanced at the body on the ground coldly: "It's taken care of."
"Yes!" Black Feather Guard's people quickly dragged the body down.
Soon the cry of 'oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo loud cries came from the team.
As if feeling someone's eyes on him, Xie Siheng raised his eyes and looked at Ji Changying through the flying snowflakes.
He stiffened, then quickly turned his head away: "Speed up! Send them out of the city!"
The whimpering sounds were accompanied by the scolding voices getting farther and farther away.
Zhong Lizhou didn't know when he stood next to Ji Changying and saw the scene that happened below. He thought about it in his mind and didn't hear anyone who had been exiled recently: "Which family do these people belong to? What did they commit? thing?"
Ji Changying's expression was complicated. She didn't know whether she saw the ruthlessness of Xie Siheng's attack just now, or she was feeling sorry for those people.
"If I guess correctly, it should be the Lai family."
"Lai family? Which Lai family?"
Zhong Lizhou was surprised, why hadn't he heard of the Lai family?
Ji Changying didn't want to continue talking, so she didn't answer.
But her reaction was enough to arouse Zhong Lizhou's suspicion. He frowned and planned to wait for someone to inquire about it later.
Soon the people from the Princess Mansion arranged a spacious carriage to pick them up. When the curtain was lifted, Ji Fengshou's excited face was revealed: "Stone Forest! Stone Mountain! Huzi!"
When the three of them saw Ji Fengshou, their faces burst with joy: "Why did you come here in person?"
"I heard you guys are here. Where can I sit down? Come up!"
Ji Changying smiled as she watched them talking together. After saying goodbye to Zhong Lizhou and the others, she also got into the carriage.
When they got home, they reminisced about old times and expressed concern. Even Gou Fugui didn't expect that he had another half-brother in this world, also named Fugui.
Both of them were smooth people and both wanted to make friends. They soon chatted with each other. Ji Changying simply asked Gou Fugui to arrange for shopkeeper Wang.
"The clan is also very worried about your situation here, so we asked us to bring our specialties here to see you. Unexpectedly, we heard on the way that you have suddenly transformed and become nobles! This suddenly made us I don’t know if I should come or not.”
Ji Shilin scratched the back of his head and added a little embarrassedly: "But we are already halfway there, so it's not good to turn around and go back, so we bite the bullet and come here."
They were a little timid when they reached the gate of the capital. The buildings here were so tall! The road is so wide! So lively!
Looking down at what they were wearing, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, especially when they thought about Ji Fengshou and the others' identities becoming different now. Wouldn't coming to the door just make others laugh for nothing?
But Wang Fugui couldn't stand his talk, so he forcefully convinced them to go to the city...
Ji Fengshou glared: "What are you talking about? Why shouldn't you come? This capital is not owned by my family. You can come here whenever you want. No matter what happens, we are all members of the clan. How can this be fake?"
Ji Fengyi looked at them with a smile: "You are really worrying too much. No matter when, we will both prosper and suffer losses. The relationship between blood will not change in any way."
Seeing that they were still the same as before, Ji Hu and the others felt a little more relaxed.
After a while, Ms. Hu happily came over and invited them to eat: "I don't know what you are going to eat! The dishes at home are a bit different from those in the capital. Later, you can drink some wine to warm up your body, then lie down in bed and relax." Take a rest, now that you’re here, don’t be in a hurry!”
"Okay! Thank you, sister-in-law!"
The atmosphere at the dinner table was lively, and a few words in Liangzhou dialect popped up from time to time, which sounded very friendly.
······
In the study room of Prince Ping's Mansion, Zhang Juzheng and Zhong Lizhou were sitting together. As soon as they finished talking about official matters, a servant came outside to report that Yongle Bo asked to see them.
The two looked at each other, a little confused.
"Let people in!"
Zhong Lizhou's words spread, and soon Yong Lebo came to the door with a smile.
After seeing the ceremony and sitting down, he asked straight to the point: "The prince is not young this year, right? I wonder if he has someone he likes?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Juzheng immediately became energetic.
Okay! It turned out that he was here to steal someone from his daughter.
Zhong Lizhou smiled a little sheepishly: "I'm still young this year, so it's not my turn to worry about this kind of thing. I wonder why the Marquis suddenly asked about this?"
Yong Lebo looked at Zhong Lizhou's face and became more and more satisfied: "Don't say that, prince! People in the royal family always get married early. The prince is already fifteen after the New Year. We will see each other this year and wait until the date is set next year before we can celebrate. He’s almost sixteen! When His Highness Prince Ping is as old as you..."
"Ahem, it's almost time to get married anyway."
Yonglebo suddenly remembered that Prince Ping seemed to have gotten married late, so he quickly changed his mind.
Zhong Lizhou understood somewhat: "I naturally have to listen to the elders in my family about this kind of thing."
