Chapter 268 Hurry up and salute?
"Don't take what you said just now, we can earn more money together."

Cao Mingzhang was very unconvinced in his heart.

Obviously before, he was just a bandit who didn't dare to enter the city. If it wasn't for him, how could his life be so good now?
But there are indeed some things that need to be taken into account by him.

"That woman, I'll help you find it. After I find it, I will definitely send it to the mountain. Don't worry."

The bandit leader sneered, "I hope what you said is true."

He walked out slowly: "If you can't find it for a day, I will withhold your money for a day. The flood caused many victims to come to Wanyang. When they fled for their lives, they brought a lot of valuable things. Come here, I can keep it by myself."

Cao Mingzhang clenched his hands tightly, raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell gloomyly on the direction where Shen Nanyuan was staying. He lost his mind for a moment and didn't know what to do.

He also didn't notice that a figure flashed past outside the window.

-

Under the bright moonlight, Shen Si Nian, who was hiding from patrolling back and forth, landed outside the wall, took a few steps forward, and hid in the darkness.

"Kiyuan is safe now, we can continue."

Footsteps sounded, and under the dim candlelight, the man's expression was like a cold star, full of terrifying hostility, which made people feel a little creepy.

Xiao Yan's voice was cold and indifferent, and his whole body was filled with a surly breath: "Yes."

Standing behind him, Shen Sinian paused seeing his gloomy appearance, then followed closely.

The prefect's mansion was brightly lit, everyone knelt on the ground and did not dare to make any noise, the silence was like death, the prefect couldn't help but slightly raised his head, looking at the awe-inspiring person sitting in front of him, staring down at him, couldn't help but Shivering suddenly, a bad premonition swept through his whole body, making the blood in his whole body stiffen as he lowered his head and said.

"I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually came to Wanyang in person, so please forgive me."

He was almost scared to death by the news.

The crown prince actually came to Wanyang, I don't know how many days he has been here, especially yesterday when there were bandits entering the city, he only felt his head hurting, his heart was raised, as if he was about to die.

In Xiao Yan's brocade robe, the contours of the facial features are more profound, the eyes are dotted with cold stars, the outline of the jaw is sharp, and the whole body is full of aggressive momentum.

He tapped his hand on the table, looking careless, but when he raised his eyes, the expression in his eyes was dark and depressing, as if a layer of frost had condensed: "If I don't come, how would I know what's going on here?" Condition."

The prefect's heart followed his words from time to time: "The floods in the south of the Yangtze River are serious, and the officials have tried their best to take care of the affected people, but the rest of the cities have been severely affected, and Wanyang is really powerless."

"Extremely take care of the affected people?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's mouth became unstoppably cold: "The victims are left unattended on the street, and they don't have enough to eat. What do you mean by trying hard to treat them? Where did the money allocated by the court to treat the victims go?"

Hearing his words, Zhifu's heart cooled down bit by bit.

Sure enough, he had concealed his identity a long time ago, and he stayed in Wanyang for an unknown how long.

The magistrate still refused to admit it: "Your Highness, the pressure on Wanyang is really great. All the victims have flocked here. What I think about every day is how to help the victims. I can't even eat. The money allocated by the court They have all gone to treat the common people, and please give your highness a lesson.”

Xiao Yan's eyes fell on him coldly, putting this matter aside for the time being, the most important thing in front of him was Shen Nanyuan, and he changed the subject suddenly.

"I won't pursue this matter for now. I have one more thing to do today."

The prefect lowered his head even lower: "Please speak, Your Highness."

"The Crown Princess was openly kidnapped on the streets of Wanyang. As the magistrate, what should you do?"

The magistrate raised his head suddenly when he heard the sound, he couldn't help gasping, his face was so frightened that it seemed whiter than paper, and he said in panic, "How could it be!"

"Why not."

Shen Si Nian said in a cold voice: "The person who kidnapped the Crown Princess is inextricably linked to you, the magistrate."

The magistrate seemed to realize something in an instant, his brain suddenly 'buzzed', trembling uncontrollably with anxiety, and there was no trace of fear on his face.

Xiao Yan's brows and eyes were cold, and his expression became sharper inch by inch.

-

It was already dark, but Shen Nanyuan couldn't sleep at all.

Yesterday she was fainted and couldn't control herself, but now she is afraid that something will happen to her if she sleeps here, and she is really uneasy here.

The maid was kicked out of the room by her. The room could not be locked. She quietly opened a crack and looked out. The yard was empty, but she could vaguely see a few gatekeepers standing at the door.

It's okay during the day, but at night it starts to get restless.

It's already so late, Xiao Yan should have returned to Wanyang, right?

He must be coming soon.

Shen Nanyuan was so sure in her heart that she wanted to wait for Xiao Yan.

At the same time, the outside seemed to be noisy, and the sound was getting more and more obvious as it approached her place a little bit.

She stood up abruptly and walked towards the door, opened a gap slightly and continued to look outside, and saw a burst of flames slowly approaching here.

Shen Nanyuan's heart also beat violently.

Almost instantly, the dark guards poured into the courtyard, and Pei Shuo was the leader. The light in her eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw the guards actively stepping out of the way, thin and slender figure Appeared in his line of sight, obviously only a few days away, but Shen Nanyuan felt like he hadn't seen him for a long time, her eyes were a little hot.

She opened the door abruptly, and trotted over. The moment Xiao Yan saw her, she stopped in place, slowly opened her hands, and pulled her into her arms.

There was Xiao Yan's strong heartbeat beside her ears, and she didn't feel safe until this moment.

Xiao Yan hugged her very tightly, as if she wanted to rub herself into his flesh and blood, her voice was soft and hoarse, coaxing softly in her ear: "I'm here."

The guards knelt on the ground on one knee: "See the princess."

The voice was loud and powerful, resounding almost throughout the entire Cao Mansion. Shen Nanyuan retreated slightly from Xiao Yan's arms, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw behind the guards, their faces were full of astonishment, staring at him like a piece of wood. My own Cao Mingzhang.

As if he couldn't believe his ears, he stared blankly.

The magistrate kicked him on the leg angrily: "Why don't you salute the prince and princess soon?"

Cao Mingzhang was stiff all over: ".See His Royal Highness, see. Crown Princess."
