Chapter 75 Love is to see an old lover!
How loudly the three of the Si family shouted their farewell when they parted, now their throats hurt as much, and their faces are as embarrassed, because Chi Ning and the others came back again.

A group of people surrounded the gate of Yundu City again, making a lot of noise, and they didn't know what happened in front of them.

Si Jingshu held Chi Ning's hands happily, "That's great, Miss Chi, you should be staying in Yundu for a while!"

"What's going on here?" Chi Ning stepped on her feet and looked at the gate of the city, wanting to see what happened, but what she saw was still a mass of black heads.

Si Hongming stroked his gray beard, "The old man guessed that a lot of manpower was needed to make offerings to the court on the autumnal equinox, so I asked you to come back again."

Chi Ning looked at Cui Xingjue, hoping to hear some useful information from him, but he seemed to be dumb, kept silent, his eyebrows were fixed, he was more silent than usual, and even a little dignified.

The three little dolls sensed his emotional ups and downs, and they also became silent together, without the usual annoying chattering at all.

At this moment, Chen Chiyan rode forward on a high horse, and everyone gave way to Cui Xingjue before dismounting.

His tanned face was full of anxiety, and he offered his hand to Cui Xingjue seriously.

"My lord, you are welcome!"

Chi Ning was surprised. He had always known that Chen Chiyan treated Cui Xingjue somewhat differently, but he never expected that he, the leader of the team, would treat him with courtesy in front of everyone.

noble?

She looked at the vast land of loess, a place where even birds would dislike a foothold, what kind of nobles could there be?
Cui Xingjue lowered his eyes to Chi Ning, "Let's go."

Chi Ning took Cui Yixuan by the hand and greeted the three members of the Si family.

As soon as they took a step, Mrs. Cui caught up with her walking stick. "Officer, official, where are you taking my grandson? Our Cui family is one, we cannot be separated!"

Cui Zhiyi, who was supporting his old lady, shouted to Cui Xingjue: "Nephew Xingjue, we are all one family, you can't be so selfish and only care about yourself!"

Cui Pengzhan shouted at the top of his voice, "Nephew Xingjue, we are of the same clan as you. Your surname is Cui, not Si. How long do you want to keep those three mouths with you!"

The three of the Si family immediately panicked with embarrassment, and it's not right to go together, or not to go.

Chi Ning was almost amused by these cheeky guys, and when he saw the benefits, he jumped out to talk about family affection, and when he didn't see the benefits, he wanted to kick them into the mud ditch and step on them!
Cui Xingjue turned his head sideways, without turning his head, he just said calmly to Chi Ning: "Let's go."

Chi Ning led Cui Yixuan and pushed Si Rongbang forward, ignoring the Cui family and his group to the end.

Mrs. Cui led people to follow, but Chen Chiyan impatiently drew out his knife, and the iron sharpened and rubbed.

"They all want to court death, don't they?"

Only then did Mrs. Cui and the others stop in fright, not daring to go forward, they could only grit their teeth and glared at the few people who left.

Led by Chen Chiyan, Chi Ning and others got into the spacious carriage and entered the city.

In the relatively stable carriage, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one made a sound.

In the end, it was Chen Chiyan who eased the embarrassment and said to Cui Xingjue: "The local prefect is a prince with a different surname who was demoted two years ago. He is fatuous and loves sex and wine."

"Half a month ago, I added a few buckets to the Fangxu document submitted for the autumnal equinox to the imperial court, which exceeded the local production. I am in a hurry to get manpower to produce a sufficient amount at the autumnal equinox."

Si Hongming asked: "Does the official know how much was added?"

Chen Chiyan's voice was lower than before, "It is said that it was wrongly written from [-] to [-]!"

Si Hongming almost didn't mention it in one breath.

Chi Ning immediately clicked his tongue in his heart, this big man is a talent.

Converting [-] buckets into a catty, it is almost more than [-]. In this small city, I am afraid that I will not be able to drive out so much paper with all the productive forces without sleep, not to mention the backward technology and low output.

"The catastrophe is imminent!" Si Rongbang wiped the sweat from his forehead with a pale face.

Chi Ning didn't understand what the Si family and his son were worried about, "Why do you say a catastrophe is imminent?"

Cui Xingjue, who had been silent all the time, said in a calm tone: "If there is too much difference in the number of offerings, you will be held accountable, from the local prefect to the lowest servant."

After hearing this, Chi Ning was completely speechless, that person was playing with the lives of the entire city!

Chen Chiyan's face was full of helplessness, "Just now I asked everyone to rush on the road just because I didn't want to get into such trouble, who would have thought that the drunk was stopped outside the city early!"

He looked at Cui Xingjue, "I don't know if the young master has a way to escape, or if there is a way to gather enough square catkins for the court at the autumnal equinox?"

The curtain on one side of the carriage swayed slightly with the shaking of the carriage, and the ray of light that leaked in sprinkled on Cui Xingjue's calm face one after another. Chi Ning only heard him say a word that made everyone despair.

"The local prefect, Lu Jiuqing, a prince with a different surname, was demoted to this place through my hand."

Chen Chiyan was so excited that he almost jumped up, "Could that fool want to take advantage of this..."

Before he could finish his last words, the carriage stopped, and the coachman raised the curtain to remind him, "My lord, we're here."

Several people got out of the car with different thoughts, only to find a remote yard.

At the door of the room in the main hall, two thin men in dark gray clothes were guarding. Seeing them coming, one of them stepped forward and saluted Cui Xingjue respectfully.

"Master Cui, please."

Chi Ning looked at the fair and clean man in front of him suspiciously, and finally fixed his eyes on his flat neck, and sniffed the light fragrance in the air with the tip of his nose.

female?

She looked at the one standing at the door.

The other one is also female?
The noble person in the room is probably not the fatuous prefect!
Cui Xingjue smoothed the folds on the skirt without any trace, and started to walk towards the main room, the hands under the sleeves clenched slightly due to emotional ups and downs.

Chi Ning saw that he was different, and was even more curious about who the so-called nobleman was.

The moment the door opened, she saw the woman's white skirt with a green auspicious cloud pattern at the end.

Through this bit of information, she guessed that the other party should be young, and also related to Cui Xingjue's strangeness since arriving in Yundu, she immediately covered it up.

Could it be that Cui Xingjue's old lover is here?

Thinking of the falcon she saw when she was in the mountains, she was even more sure who Cui Xingjue was sending the message to.

Good guy!Good guy!Good guy!
No wonder he was so sure they couldn't leave, no wonder he was so preoccupied all the way, no wonder he tidied up his clothes just now, the feeling was to see his old lover!
Okay, little bastard, he won't give her a divorce letter, and secretly pass messages to his old lover. His little life along the way is really nourishing.

To use manpower is false, tryst is real!
Chi Ning stroked her smooth chin, fully hoping that the villain's old lover would be a little vinegar bag, the kind that could turn the world upside down.

If this is the case, there will be a good show, and if she plays tricks while taking advantage of the chaos, she might be able to get her divorce letter as she wished.

"Squeak-"

The old wooden door was closed, blocking all sight.

The moment the wooden door closed, Cui Xingjue's usual calm face fluctuated, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Especially when he saw the thin back of a woman standing in a slightly dimly lit room, the sockets of his eyes suddenly became red.

She lost weight, this journey must have been very hard!
