Xiaoxiao glanced at his red knuckles and sighed. “Don’t use your fists when you beat him up next time. He’s so thick-skinned. Your hands will hurt.”
Sigh, she suddenly had an idea. “Have you calmed down? If not, let’s go again?” Rong Yan was stunned for a moment, and Xiaoxiao chuckled. “Why? Do you think I’ll persuade you to make peace?”
“How is that possible?” She pretended to be fierce and pinched her joints “I hold a grudge.”
“Let’s go!” She waved her hand and pulled Rong Yan into the space. “We’ll settle today’s grudges.”
At night, Chernan was about to rest when he heard a creak outside the door He didn’t pay much attention to it. When he opened the door and saw that there was no one outside, he thought that he had heard wrongly. However, when he lay down again, there was another knock on the door. After a while, he felt that something was wrong.
What made him feel even stranger was that he called the guard over, but the latter said that he did not see anyone pass by at all.
It was not only the people of Great Xia who were guarding this posthouse. Even the Xiongnu people said that they did not see anything. Was he really hallucinating?
With this uneasiness and doubts, Chernan walked towards the bed again. However, that persistent “dong dong” sound appeared again. It was neither light nor heavy, but it knocked on Chernan’s head until it hurt. He was angered and deliberately pulled the door hard when the sound was heard.
“I want to see which bastard is pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night… Ghost…”
There was only the sound of the wind outside the door. No one could be seen What was going on?
He was still in a daze when he felt a pain in the back of his head and lost consciousness.
Xiaoxiao retracted the stick and Rong Yan dragged Chernan back to the house Once the door was closed, Xiaoxiao raised her foot and stomped on him “Toad pfft!” ’
When he woke up the next day, Chernan realized that he was sleeping on the ground. For some reason, his entire body still hurt. He suspected that he had been sleepwalking in his dreams last night.
The conferment of the title of princess and prince was a huge matter, and the Imperial Court had to make a lot of preparations. Hence, after the imperial edict was sent to the General’s Residence, Xiaoxiao packed up and prepared to set off for Xijiang County first. However, Xiao Ran mysteriously asked her to wait for half a day. When she returned home in the afternoon, she was followed by Rong Yan, who didn’t have much of an expression, but it was obvious that he was very happy, and Chernan, who was holding his waist with a constipated expression.
Xiao Ran said, “The rice in the Imperial Field of Xijiang County is about to be harvested. His Majesty sent the Third Prince to supervise. What a coincidence He can travel with you.”
This job was naturally given to Rong Yan by Xiao Ran. She was worried about her daughter leaving the Imperial Capital alone, but she had to hand over everything in the army and talk to the Emperor about the retired soldiers. She really could not leave. With Ah Yan around, he would naturally take good care of her.
It could also make up for the regret of the two children not spending much time together.
As for Chernan, the children knew their limits and wouldn’t kill him no matter what.
When the imperial envoy walked slowly on the official road, Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan had already left the Imperial Capital. This time, Xiaoxiao brought Wind and Lightning along and rode them.
“Why is Chernan with us?”
Rong Yan was full of disdain. “He said that he’s not feeling well and has seen the imperial physician this morning.”
However, even after a few imperial physicians took his pulse for a long time, they could not find the source of the illness. Chernan was so anxious that he’ shouted, “Have sleepwalking ever caused you to break your ribs?”
He had never seen that. The Xiongnus really know how to play.
Chernan’s mentality was crushed. He suspected that this post house was at odds with him, so he immediately requested to change places to stay. He even wanted to go out and relax.
The Emperor sneered when he found out. He had never seen such a troublesome envoy, so he hooked his brush and handed him to Rong Yan to deal with.
He realized that Xiongnu, that bastard, was afraid of Rong Yan. He flaunted in front of others, but when he saw his third son, he was as obedient as a tortoise. Chernan was filled with grief and indignation when he found out that he was going to travel with the evil god next. When he was told that the evil god despised the honor guard for walking too slowly and wanted to leave first he immediately felt that he had escaped death. Just as he was struggling in the abyss, he heard Rong Yan remind him, “If you don’t return the money, you should send the iron mine over.”
Chernan was speechless.
On that day, Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan traveled together. At night, they admired the moon and stars and talked about serious matters. Their days were extremely fulfilling. Unknowingly, Xijiang County was right in front of them.
“Little Big Brother, how do you think Chernan will ask the Crown Prince in Luo Province for money after he comes to Xijiang County?”
Rong Yan said, “Don’t even think about touching the money to rebuild the dam With Senior Brother Chen around, they can forget about touching a single cent.” &
Xiaoxiao agreed deeply and even asked expectantly, “Little Big Brother, what do you think will happen since Official Chen hates the Yan Family so much and is going to supervise the construction of the dam with the Crown Prince?”
Rong Yan couldn’t help but laugh.
It turned out that Chen Yong had met the Crown Prince immediately after he was arranged to be in Luo Prefecture by the Emperor. On the surface, as the Prefect of Luo Prefecture, Chen Yong treated the Crown Prince respectfully and cooperated with him. However, in fact, from the day the Crown Prince was appointed, Chen Yong had already decided on several good ways to torture the Crown Prince.
The first was to kill with flattery.
The Crown Prince was a person who liked to work hard and listen to praises. After being on guard for a few days, he saw that Chen Yong’s attitude towards him was no different from other people who clung to the Yan Family. He quickly relaxed and enjoyed being praised. He even really thought that he was an unparalleled emperor-to-be with both talent and virtue.
The second step was to push him up the altar so high that he could not get down even if he wanted to.
Regardless of the Crown Prince’s original intention in coming to Luo Prefecture, whether it was voluntary or an accident, he was already here. Naturally, he had to build prestige for himself and the Yan Family Hence before he arrived, there were already many comments about how virtuous the Crown Prince was and how he loved his people like his children.
The Yan Family’s move was determined and they caused a huge commotion Chen Yong simply went with the flow and praised the Crown Prince with them.
At this point, he entered the third step. Since the Crown Prince was a “good person” who was almost perfect and cared about the common people of the world, it was logical and reasonable for him to do some good deeds that benefited the people.
Of course, he had to do it himself.
When Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan received Chen Yong’s message, the Crown Prince had already been carrying bricks on the dam for more than 10 days. It was said that he had lost a lot of weight.
Moreover, Chen Yong even specially opened up a special wall for the Crown Prince. As the name suggested, all the repair work there was handed over to the Crown Prince and no one else could interfere.
In this way, firstly, the Crown Prince could not get his subordinates to do hard labor for him. Secondly, he had to do this job seriously. Otherwise, even a blind person would know that the Crown Prince’s skills were not good.
The Crown Prince was filled with anger. As the Crown Prince of Great Xia, I learned all the strategies to govern the country and rule the world. This ’ bastard wanted me to do the work of a lowly person and he still had to inspect me?
However, no matter how long these words rolled in his stomach, he could not really say them out loud. Otherwise, wouldn’t all the hard work he had put in previously be in vain?
Hence, he could only work with the laborers during the day and get someone to teach him repair techniques overnight.
Chen Yong also told them that he was going to find some scholars to watch and admire His Highness the Crown Prince’s great achievements in two days. At the same time, he would “seek guidance” about dam-related knowledge..
