“To be precise, when you threw gold at me in the Wang Residence, I began to suspect. I only confirmed your identity when we met on the official ship. At that time, I understood that you were the princess Consort. The one on the ship is just a puppet.”

“To be precise, when you threw gold at me in the Wang Residence, I began to suspect. I only confirmed your identity when we met on the official ship. At that time, I understood that you were the princess Consort. The one on the ship is just a puppet.” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.

After abandoning the ship and taking the land route, Xu Qian’s heart did not waver at all when he saw the fake princess Consort. He was even more certain that she was an imposter.

The reason was simple. He had written a diary in the past, and in the diary, he had recorded a characteristic of the princess Consort.

I-I was exposed so early … Wangfei opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything. Thinking of her performance these past few days, she felt a sense of shame that she wanted to dig three feet into the ground and bury herself.

. I’m telling you this because I want to tell you that although I’m lecherous … Which man isn’t lustful? but I’ve never forced a woman. We still have a long way to go to the North, so we need your cooperation.” Xu Qi ‘an comforted her.

The great Minister Xu yinluo never forced women, unless they had thought it through.

They still couldn’t escape the fate of heading north … Wangfei pursed her lips and was slightly disappointed. After a long silence, she asked, “”When are we going to meet up with the diplomatic mission?”

The young man, Yin Luo, raised his head. The firelight shone on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing an inexplicable smile.”Who said we were going to meet up with the diplomatic mission?”

That night, the Banyan Tree rustled, but nothing happened.

Early in the morning, the first ray of the morning sun shone on her face, and she heard the crisp and melodious chirping of birds. She woke up from her light sleep and saw that the bonfire had been extinguished. There was a big iron pot on top of it, and the smell of porridge assailed her nose.

Wang Fei’s stomach growled. She couldn’t hide her surprise as she came to the bonfire and opened the iron pot. There was enough congee for three to five people inside.

In addition, there were clean bowls and chopsticks on the side.

Where did he get the pot to cook porridge? no, where did he get the rice? Where did he get the clean bowls and chopsticks … Wangfei ladled a bowl of porridge for herself and started to drink it happily.

The thick, sweet, and warm congee slid into her stomach. Wang Fei savored the taste and her eyes curved.

Yesterday, after gnawing on two rabbit legs, his stomach felt a little uncomfortable. When he got up in the middle of the night to drink water, he found that the water had been finished by that guy. Now, his mouth was dry and his stomach was empty.

This bowl of sweet porridge was more delicious than the delicacies of the world.

At this time, footsteps came from the distance. Xu Qi ‘an had returned from the meadow. He had changed into plain clothes and wore a Marten hat. He seemed to have just taken a bath.

“There’s a small river over there. There’s no one nearby, so it’s suitable for taking a bath.” Xu Qi ‘an sat down beside her and threw her a toothbrush with soap and bristles.

“Do you want to take a shower”‘

The Queen held the bowl in her hands and looked at Xu Qi ‘an for a moment, then shook her head slightly.

“It’s not dirty?” Xu Qi ‘an frowned. She was a Princess, but she was so unhygienic.

“You’re the dirty one.” Wangfei retorted, not recognizing a good person’s heart.

She wouldn’t take a bath. Wouldn’t that give this lecherous man an opportunity? What if he peeked at them or took the opportunity to ask them to bathe together …

That’s right, goddesses don’t go to the toilet. It’s my fault for not being aware of this … Xu Qi ‘an took back the bristle brush and soap horn.

“Gargling is necessary,” wangfei quickly said.

She had a small appetite, so she felt a little full after eating a bowl of congee. She walked to the river while looking at the bristle brush.

She suspected that Xu Qi ‘an had used the toothbrush, but she had no evidence.

When she came back after brushing her teeth, the pot and the bowl were gone. Xu Qi ‘an sat cross-legged beside the ashes and looked at the map with concentration.

“Where are we going next?” She asked.

“Sanhuang County. ”

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t keep her guessing and explained, ” this is a County between Chu Zhou and Jiang Zhou. There’s a spy trained by the night watchman. I want to find him first and get some information. Then, I’ll gradually go deeper into Chu Zhou.

The bloody massacre of three thousand miles was a complicated case, and it seemed to have a hidden story. Under such a background, Xu Qi ‘an believed that investigating the case in secret was the right choice.

If he was too high-profile, he would put himself and his companions in danger.

The diplomatic mission led by Yang Yan was just a cover.

A plan to proceed steadily … Wangfei nodded slightly and asked, “where did those things go?”

“It’s none of your business,” Xu Qi ‘an retorted her ruthlessly.

The two of them continued on their way, avoiding the official roads and taking small mountain paths, fields, or directly crossing the mountains.

For the entire day, a certain petty woman did not say a word to him.

Walking on the mountain road had its advantages. The scenery along the way was not bad, with green mountains and clear water, and white clouds.

Occasionally, one could see the tall pine trees on the cliff. He could also see wildflowers blooming on the roadside, simple and tough.

Xu Qi ‘an was a person who had tender feelings for women. He walked slowly and would occasionally stop to pick a place with beautiful scenery to rest for half an hour.

When he told her about his experience in raising fish, he often received a disdainful sneer from the princess Consort.

Half a day later, the diplomatic corps entered the Northern Territory and arrived at a city called Wanzhou.

Wanzhou was a small state, smaller than a County or a County. The land in Wanzhou was fertile and suitable for farming. It was one of the granaries of Chuzhou.

The architectural style here was similar to that of the capital of the Central Plains, but the scale was different. There was no dock nearby, so the prosperity was limited.

After Yang Yan presented the documents from the Imperial court, the centurion, who was the highest-ranking general on the city gate, personally led them to the courier station.

The diplomatic mission had just rested at the courier station. Yang Yan had taken a hot bath and was about to sit down for tea when the governor of

Wanzhou came.

The zhizhou’s surname was Niu, but his physique did not match the word ” Niu . He was tall and thin, with a goatee, wearing a green robe embroidered with Heron, and two Yamen officials behind him.

“This humble official didn’t know that several Lords had come to visit.. didn’t welcome you from afar,. didn’t welcome you from afar …”

Niu zhizhou’s attitude was extremely humble. After greeting the Deputy of the Supreme Court, the two censors, and Yang Yan, he asked, “”May I ask why you darens have come?”

Yang Yan wasn’t good at official communication, so he didn’t answer.

The Deputy of the court of judicial review took out the documents he had prepared earlier and handed them over with a smile. He then began to address the zhizhou as his brother.

After Niu zhizhou finished exchanging pleasantries with the Supreme Court judge, he opened the document in his hand and read it carefully.

After reading the document, Niu zhizhou’s expression was extremely strange and even felt that it was ridiculous. He swept his eyes over the crowd and probed, “”May I ask which one of you is Xu yinluo?”

The judge of the court of judicial review sighed and said sorrowfully, “The diplomatic mission was ambushed by the enemy on the way. Xu yinluo was seriously injured while protecting everyone. We’ve already sent it back to the capital. ”

Niu zhizhou turned pale with fright, “there’s such a thing?” Who dares to ambush the Imperial court’s diplomatic mission? they’re simply lawless.”

The Imperial censor surnamed Liu waved his hand. let’s not talk about this. Lord Niu, we’re here to investigate. We have something to ask you.

“Please ask, Lord censor.” Niu zhizhou quickly bowed.

“How’s the situation in Chu Zhou?” censor Liu asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Niu zhizhou sighed and said, ‘”‘Last year, the North suffered from heavy snow and countless livestock were frozen to death. After the beginning of spring this year, they would often invade the border, burning, killing, and plundering along the way.

“Fortunately, the North vanquishing Prince has many soldiers and generals under his command, and we have not lost a single city. The Barbarian race also didn’t dare to go deep into the Chu Prefecture. They only pitied the people near the border.”

Not all of the people lived in the city. Those who were robbed by the barbarians were the people in the villages and towns.

The members of the diplomatic mission looked at each other. Constable Chen from the Ministry of Justice frowned and said, ‘”‘Where did the bloody massacre happen?”

Niu zhizhou smiled bitterly and spread his hands. this is simply a fantasy. You should know that the total distance of Chuzhou is only 8000 miles. If there was such a thing as a bloody massacre, would this lowly official still be standing here and talking to my Lord?”

“We’re all scholars, Niu zhizhou, don’t play these little tricks,” censor Liu sneered.

massacre for three thousand miles ” was a classic story. It originated from the Warring States period in ancient times. There was a bloodthirsty general who led his Army to massacre three thousand miles when he destroyed an enemy country.

Later generations used it as an allusion to describe large-scale massacres and cruelty.

Although the barbarians had harassed the people at the border by burning, killing, and plundering, the North- guarding King had only reported that the barbarians had caused trouble at the border. However, they had all been beaten back by his troops, and the reports of success were endless.

If the barbarians really committed the brutal act of “massacring 3000 miles of land in blood,” it would be a serious dereliction of duty of the North vanquishing Prince’s duty to lie about the military situation.
