Shu Blossoms

Chapter 433
Zheng Wei didn't want to go back to see those scholars who were dazzled by anger, thinking of having to deal with their questioning, it would be better to explain clearly in the gazebo all at once.

And now she has to go find the Qingwei who is hiding nearby. She might not be able to go to the mountain tonight, so she has to send a letter there.

Zheng Wei didn't want to attract the attention of others, so she searched for a hidden path, found a hole that had been in disrepair and left the palace, came to the nearby remote forest, took out that thin bamboo whistle and blew a few times, and then Be patient.

After a cup of tea, there was movement in the woods, and upon closer inspection, a man in black rushed towards this side, stopped in front of Zheng Wei and saluted, "Princess!"

Zheng Wei nodded, and commanded in a deep voice: "You give Qing Shishi a word, today's palace is full of miscellaneous things, so I won't be able to go through this county, he has taken care of the things in the mountains, and then let Shisan come and look for me, don't disturb the palace people here."

The man in black took the order to leave quickly, Zheng Wei turned around and went to the palace, wanted to go back the same way, but happened to see a person galloping towards the palace on horseback, walked over out of curiosity, and saw a person talking to the palace guard.

The guard took a look at the thing that the man handed over, saluted immediately, and then shouted at the guard behind him, "Open the door!"

Zheng Wei took advantage of the moonlight to see the man's side face, and recognized the man as Wang Xu, the eldest son of the Wang family who came belatedly. He remembered that he joined the army a few years ago when the Xie family rebelled, and now he has been under Xiao Yucheng's command. I heard Xiao Yucheng mention that Wang Xu worked very hard before, and now he is the commander-in-chief.

Unexpectedly, Wang Can would let the eldest son give up the achievements of the past few years and start over from the beginning, but the second son of the Wang family seemed to stay in the army.

Looking at Wang Xu's dusty appearance at this time, it seems that he arrived at Fuzhou Mountain after a one-day journey from Stone City.

Zheng Wei glanced at them, and prepared to leave quietly.She didn't disturb the guards when she first came out, so it's best to go back quietly at this time.

It's just that when she turned around, she accidentally stepped on a dry branch and made a slight noise, but it was this noise that alarmed Wang Xu who was about to leave.

"Who!"

He snarled, and looked over with sharp eyes, his left hand was already on the hilt of the sword, ready to draw it out at any time.

Seeing that he was so vigilant, Zheng Wei didn't want to cause trouble, so she took the initiative to come out.

She stepped forward and saluted Wang Xu, "Brother Wang, long time no see!"

"So it's Princess Danyang, why are you wandering here late at night?" Wang Xu asked in surprise when he saw Zheng Wei, with his long sword back in its sheath, and he relaxed.

At this time, the guards in front of the palace gate clasped their fists and saluted Zheng Wei, "Master Supervisor!"

Wang Xu was startled at first, but soon realized, he looked at her with a smile, "It turns out that the inspector appointed by His Majesty is actually the princess!"

Zheng Wei smiled wryly, and said helplessly: "I was tricked by him, brother Wang, do you believe me?"

"This is His Majesty's trust in the princess!" Although Zheng Wei could say this, Wang Xu was not easy to accept, but seeing her like this really gave her a headache, he asked again, "But what trouble did you encounter?"

Zheng Wei pointed to the inside of the palace, rubbed his brows and said with a headache: "Let's talk while walking! His Majesty threw the scholars from various families into this desolate palace, but he didn't bring a single grain of food! I also just After realizing it, His Majesty tricked me into coming here just to throw this mess to me to solve!"

Zheng Wei told the whole story about the situation this afternoon and the current situation in the palace, the reason why she confessed so frankly to Wang Xu was because she knew Wang Xu's importance among this group of young scholars.

The Langya Wang family is still the most powerful family among the gentry clans, and Wang Xu is even the best among the younger generation, and has a lot of prestige among these gentry.

As long as Wang Xu is willing to cooperate with Zheng Wei, her plan will go much smoother.

When Wang Xu heard that those scholars were still blocking her door hungry, he couldn't laugh or cry. No wonder she ran out to hide.

"Then what does the supervisor plan to do?" Wang Xu naturally understood Zheng Wei's intentions, and he didn't mind cooperating with Zheng Wei.

Not only because Zheng Wei is his good brother and Shangguan's unmarried wife, but also because he thinks that making friends with Zheng Wei is beneficial to the Wang family.

This is not because he is deep in thought, but as a son of a family, it has become his instinct to plan for the family first.

Hearing his question, Zheng Wei knew that Wang Xu agreed, with a bright smile on his face, under the night, there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes, Wang Xu was infected by her smile, and the smile on his face became much more relaxed.

"Although the guards and servants in the palace have planted some food, fruits and vegetables, I'm afraid it won't take long to feed the nearly [-] people. I have to find a way to solve it! Besides, this place is not as good as the capital, and there are not enough people. I plan to experience the holy food. I mean, imitating the words of the sage Meng, heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, to work their muscles and bones and starve their bodies and skins."

Wang Xu suddenly reacted when he heard the words, and said in surprise: "Could it be that you want those scholars to go to the fields to farm? We are here to study by order?"

Seeing that Wang Xu seemed to be frightened too, Zheng Wei waved his hands and smiled, "Brother Wang, you are worrying too much. Now is the harvest season, where there are still fields, even if you want to farm, it will take some time. But the rice in the field has just been harvested." When I came back, I couldn’t eat it, so I had to pound rice. Although Yu Tu has already brought his people to rush to work, but it still can’t provide them. So, I will inform those noble scholars in the gazebo later, if you don’t want to be hungry tomorrow If you don’t have a stomach, you have to pound the rice yourself, and eat as much as you pound!”

Wang Xu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and clasped his fists together and said, "Master Supervisor is amazing!"

Zheng Wei clasped his hands together, and begged softly: "I hope Brother Wang will be considerate, I can't do anything about it, if I had known this would happen, I would have told you to bring your own rations in advance! But don't worry, Brother Wang, during this time I will advance and retreat with you all!"

Wang Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it seemed that His Majesty was really ruthless this time, even Zheng Wei didn't have anything to eat.

"Brother Wang, hurry up, it took me a long time to get a bowl of porridge for you tonight, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat porridge later!" Zheng Wei was so hungry that he suddenly remembered the dinner tonight. He was also afraid that he would have to rely on robbery, so he dragged Wang Xu to the palace.

When they rushed to the gazebo, twenty scholars were waiting there anxiously with their long followers. When they saw Zheng Wei appearing, some of them stood up impatiently and asked, "I said, Lord Inspector, We are ordered to study, why don't we even care about food!"

Wang Xu looked at the furious crowd and was a little excited to blame Zheng Wei. Just as he was about to explain something for her, he saw a few old servants coming in with dishes, and behind them were soldiers carrying two wooden barrels. , steaming in the wooden barrel, I think it's dinner tonight.

It didn't matter to him, he had spent all these years in the army, and even eaten grass roots, tree bark, and even insects and birds when he went out with him.

For him, this porridge is already the best food, but it is not very hungry!
When the attendants brought bowls of hot porridge in front of these scholars, they were stunned at first, and the person who was preparing to make trouble just now became even more angry, "What is this?"
