After the incident in Devil City was settled, Xiao Lingjiang and his party got up and returned to Liangzhou.

There were so many of them this time that they would definitely attract attention if they were traveling together, so they were still as they were when they arrived, a group of five or six, or eight or nine people, disguised as camel caravan traders, and passed through Shazhou City towards Liangzhou one after another. go.

Coupled with Nie Yin's help, their return trip was much more convenient.

When Xiao Lingjiang led the camel into Liangzhou City, it was almost the twelfth lunar month, which was the coldest time of the year.

There had been a heavy snowfall in Liangzhou, and the roads and roofs of houses were all covered in white. People and camel teams passed by, leaving behind a trail of footprints that gradually drifted away.

At this time, it had been more than three months since the earthquake in Liangzhou. The imperial court received the news and immediately sent officials to provide relief.

With the support of the imperial court, everyone in Liangzhou worked together to rebuild after the disaster. The ruins and broken tiles of broken houses have disappeared, and neat houses have been re-erected on this northwest land.

Although it is not as satisfactory as the people's own houses before, at least this winter, people can avoid the cold and rest without worries.

Xiao Lingjiang and others entered the city under the guise of camel merchants, and then entered the back door of the Governor's Mansion under the pretext of delivering goods.

When they heard that Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You had returned, Duan Xu, the governor of Liangzhou, and Guo Xiaoxing, the governor, were overjoyed at first, and then hurriedly came to see them.

When they arrived at Xiao Lingjiang's courtyard, she was changing her clothes.

"Your Highness, Governor Duan and Governor Guo are here. My servant has asked them to stay in the study for a while."

"Yeah." Xiao Lingjiang hummed after hearing Aman's report.

She raised her hands and stretched out her arms, allowing Qiongzhi to put on her coat, tie a jade pendant and brocade bag around her waist, then sat down at the table, and asked Qiongzhi to comb her hair into a simple bun and put in two Hosta, then go out.

Qiongzhi quickly caught up and put a cloak on her: "Your Highness, you are still not well, so you'd better dress warmly."

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Okay, then wear thicker clothes."

After all, whether it is Princess Yong'an who is recuperating from her injuries in the governor's mansion, or whether she is rushing back from Shazhou, her injuries are still in a state of recovery. She has practiced mystical arts since she was a child and is not afraid of the cold winter. She should pay more attention now. It's always good.

After leaving the room, I realized that snowflakes were falling from the sky again.

After walking a short distance along the corridor and arriving in front of the study, Xiao Lingjiang looked up and saw Pei You, also newly dressed in black clothes, walking towards this place.

She stopped and stood on the porch waiting for him to approach step by step.

When she got closer, she looked at the snowflakes on Pei You's body and asked softly: "Why don't you hold an umbrella?"

Pei You brushed his shoulders, with a soft look in his eyes: "It's okay."

"Tianhan, you are still injured, so you'd better be more careful." Xiao Lingjiang took half a step forward, stood on tiptoes and brushed the snowflakes off his head.

Qingzhu and Aman quickly looked up at the sky, sighing secretly in their hearts. Fortunately, the door to the study room was closed, and they were the only ones in the courtyard now.

Pei You's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and when he realized that she was brushing the snow for him, he couldn't help but blush.

Seeing that Xiao Lingjiang had already retreated, he put his fist to his lips, coughed softly, and whispered: "Go in." Xiao Lingjiang looked at him with raised eyebrows, with a bit of concern in his eyes: "Caught a cold?"

Pei You blushed and shook his head repeatedly: "Nothing. However, it is very cold in winter, so you really need to wear more clothes."

When Xiao Lingjiang saw his appearance, she realized that her actions might have misunderstood him, and she couldn't help but feel funny.

The two of them entered the study together. Duan Xu and Guo Xiaoxing stood up quickly: "Greetings to the princess and the crown prince!"

"You two don't need to be polite." Xiao Lingjiang raised his hand and sat down side by side with Pei You.

Duan Xu and Guo Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two of them walking with steady steps and their faces as usual. Fortunately, no accidents happened to these two people and they all came back intact. Otherwise, they would have lost their lives and it would be hard to explain!
Duan Xu smiled and asked harmoniously: "Did the trip of the princess and the crown prince go well?"

Xiao Lingjiang nodded slightly: "It's going well. The Lord of the Shrine has been destroyed. Except for a few believers who may have never returned to the palace, everyone else has been killed. So far, the old nest of the Shrine has been destroyed, and many years of foundation have been destroyed. If it’s overturned, it won’t be able to stir up any more waves.”

"Have all the old nests in the shrine been destroyed?" Duan Xu and Duan Xu's eyes widened in surprise.

At first, Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You only wanted to secretly go to Shazhou for two or three months to investigate the palace's lair mentioned by the White Tiger Palace envoy.

Unexpectedly, this time, not only did they find out where the shrine's lair was, but they also directly destroyed it, and the Lord of the shrine was also killed!

Guo Xiaoxing's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't help but clasp his fists and praise: "The princess and the prince are really extraordinary in martial arts and unparalleled in strategy. Guo admires them endlessly!"

"Captain Guo is ridiculous." Xiao Lingjiang waved his hand, "The palace is indeed difficult to deal with. The prince and I also suffered a lot."

Hearing this, Guo Xu quickly looked over at the two of them: "What injuries did you two suffer?"

I heard that people who practice martial arts sometimes get seriously injured, and others can't see anything. This is not the case for these two...

Seeing his concern, Xiao Lingjiang smiled and said, "It's nothing serious anymore, you two don't need to worry."

After saying that, she asked Guo Xu: "I heard that the imperial court sent people to Liangzhou?"

Guo Xu nodded quickly: "That's right. Although no people were killed in the Liangzhou earthquake, there were countless losses in houses, fields, livestock, etc. Fortunately, Princess, you sent a letter back to Yingdu early, and the court immediately arranged for a rescue mission from nearby prefectures and counties. Only by borrowing food money can we provide Liangzhou with emergency supplies."

"The Central Government has also allocated money and food for relief, and sent ministers from the Central Government to inspect and provide compensation. Calculating the time, the Governor's envoy from the Central Government should also arrive in the near future."

At this point, he frowned slightly and said: "On the contrary, the deputy governor worked hard and arrived in Liangzhou more than half a month ago. When he heard that the princess was injured, he begged to see the princess many times and asked someone to stop her. Later. It was really not easy to continue to block him and create suspicion, so Mrs. Qiongzhi let him see her through the curtain, and then he gave up."

When this person made such a fuss, he and Guo Xiaoxing were frightened for several days, fearing that he would see the clues and even the people in Xifan would become suspicious and question him about the whereabouts of the princess.

"Oh." Xiao Lingjiang responded lightly, "Is it Cui Shu, the eleventh son of the Cui family?"

"Exactly." Guo Xu nodded.

The ancestor of the Cui family is the famous Cui family of Qinghe, and there are many capable people in the family. His son, Cui Shu, the eleventh son, is handsome and wise in appearance. He has been a celebrity since he was a child. His name is also heard in Liangzhou.

It is human nature that such a gentleman from a well-established family can easily find a high position when he enters the court. I just don’t know why I went all the way to a remote place like Liangzhou? (End of chapter)
