A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 151 Take her away
Of course not.

Although the boy didn't speak, his expression said everything.

"If you don't believe it, don't ask such strange questions. You can be more direct."

Bai Xia encouraged.

The young man raised his eyebrows in surprise, carefully studying Bai Xia's expression, wondering whether what she said was true or false.

The nine-year-old girl was already a governor, and she seemed to have had a full meal for the first time. She sat on the chair with a satisfied look on her face, and her dark cheeks were full of seriousness.

"In that case, should I be more direct?" he asked.

Bai Xia nodded and straightened up slightly.

"Where is Li Xiuyuan?"

Although Li Jialin's identity cannot be determined, he is the most likely person among the people currently found. As his only son, Li Xiuyuan would be beneficial to him if he could be controlled earlier.

Bai Xia smiled slowly and answered with a serious expression: "I don't know!"

The young man's eyebrows twitched.

"Where is Lin?"

"She disappeared." Bai Xia frowned, seeming a little troubled, and took the initiative to explain: "At that time, the government imposed a grain tax, and she went back to her parents' home to borrow grain, and then she disappeared."

Adhering to the principle of saying too much, Bai Xia simply explained that he was not lying.

The young man lowered his eyelids slightly and chuckled, "Really?"

The folding fan in his hand lit his palms, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

"Do you know where the people from Lijia Village have gone?"

Bai Xia sighed.

"I want to know too. I just planned to go back to the village when I was desperate. Unexpectedly, when I returned to the village, I found that there was no one there. If you have any news about them, sir, you must tell me so that I can join them. "

Bai Xia made a grimace and said it as if it was true.

The young man stopped talking and looked at her with his chin slightly raised, his expression somewhat meaningful, obviously he didn't believe what she said.

Bai Xia's expression didn't change. Instead, she asked him, "Why don't you also answer my question?"

"You ask"

"What is the taboo name for the young master?"

The young man was silent. After a long time, there was no reply. Instead, he said into the air: "Here comes someone."

Chunxi and Chuntao walked in from outside.

"Take Miss Bai down to rest. I guess Miss Bai hasn't made up her mind yet. Let's talk about it after Miss Bai makes up her mind." His expression was very gentle, not angry at all.

Bai Xia recalled the expression of the young man in the painting, which was a bit arrogant and difficult to get along with. However, the young man in front of him had no trace of arrogance except his feminine appearance.

She got up obediently, and before leaving the house, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Is your surname Zhou?"

As if he didn't expect that she would ask suddenly, the young man looked startled. A big smile spread on her face and she said, "It seems I guessed it right."

After saying that, he followed the maid down.

After she left, the young man suddenly chuckled: "Interesting."

"Come here, go down and check that Ms. Lin is missing."

"This... the bodies of the two of them have not recovered yet on Monday."

"Send someone else"

This young man's surname was indeed Zhou, and he was the eldest son of Prince Liang. He was also the crown prince of Liang Prince. When Bai Xia asked him his name, he knew that she had guessed his identity. Of course, he deliberately revealed this to her.

Prince Liang was a fiefdom, and he was also the crown prince. Prince Liang was the emperor's uncle, and the royal surname was Zhou, so it was not difficult to guess his surname.

He came to the study room and practiced calligraphy. The siege of Ganzhou City did not affect him at all. The pen in his hand was powerful and penetrated the back of the paper. The big characters like dragon and snake appeared on the paper.

He wrote ten pages in a row before he stopped.The window was open, and it was pitch black outside. Only a few candles could be seen here and there.

"Your Majesty, the city has already made arrangements."

"Oh, I see"

Zhou Shizi threw the words written in his hand to the visitor, turned off the lights in the room and went to sleep.

In the city, a blacksmith's workshop was abuzz with people. The most famous blacksmith Wang cursed something grumpily, but seemed to be caring, instructing people to load boxes one by one onto a cart.

There were two coolies moving the boxes, and it was a bit difficult for both of them to carry one box together.

"Be careful, don't fall down."

Blacksmith Wang blushed and cursed in a low voice: "Idiot"

The candles in the blacksmith's shop kept burning all night, and they didn't stop until the next morning when the people in the city got up.

In this way, Bai Xia lived like a bug in the Governor's Mansion, eating and sleeping every day. Although Prince Zhou treated her with good food and drink, he did not let her move around at will.

He didn't call her over to talk again.

Chunxi and Chuntao knew almost as much information as she did, and she knew as much other information as she did.

She wandered around everywhere in the house, but still couldn't find a way out.

Just like that, seven days passed in a flash.

Just that morning, when Bai Xia thought that today would be the same as before, Chunxi and Chuntao led two men in their 30s to her residence.

"Miss, this is Monday, the prince asked him to come."

When he brought people over, he didn't ask for Bai Xia's permission at all. Of course, there was no need to ask for her permission. After all, this was their territory.

"I've seen Miss Bai"

They were injured on Monday and Tuesday, and it took them a while to recover.

As soon as they were raised, the people sent by the Crown Prince told them that the man who had been following them had been caught, and he was led here by his servants. When he saw Bai Xia, there was a bit of doubt in his expression.

The one that the two brothers chased for three days and three nights was this little girl who was only half their height?

He couldn't help but doubt his life, and even wondered if the prince had been arrested by mistake?
But they may be wrong, and the prince cannot be wrong.

"It's you?"

Bai Xia had also seen their appearance. When he saw him coming, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes. Could it be that Prince Zhou noticed something?Or are you planning to let her go?
"Miss Bai, I'm here to inform Miss Bai that the young master has given an order for us to escort Miss Bai out of Ganzhou." On weekdays, these subordinates all refer to Prince Zhou as the young master, but Bai Xia is not surprised.

"Escort?" Bai Xia chewed on these two words.

"Yes"

"Ganzhou City is going to be in chaos?"

"The Red Scarf Army outside is about to attack the city. The young master is worried about Miss Bai's safety and ordered me to send Miss Bai out first."

"Isn't he afraid that I'll run away?" Bai Xia asked strangely. He had been guarding her so tightly two days ago, but suddenly he said he wanted to escort her away. This was a bit inappropriate.

Zhou Yi lowered his head and said nothing. He did not dare to speculate on the young master's plans.

"Okay, let's go. Should we leave now?" Bai Xia lowered her head and glanced at the shackles at her feet. She probably thought that she was tied up with this thing, so he wasn't afraid of her running away.

But this thing is really heavy.

It must weigh at least five or six pounds. To use such heavy shackles on a little girl like her, that person is really inhumane.

Prince Zhou didn't know what Bai Xia was complaining about in his heart. After listening to reports from his subordinates, the two of them took Bai Xia out of Ganzhou through another secret passage on Monday. When they left, Yiyan covered her eyes with a cloth.

He nodded slightly and looked at a withered old tree in front of the window.

"Keep an eye on her"

"It doesn't matter if you run away."
