The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 450 Waiting for a result (second update)

After that, Governor Zhang moved them to a nearby inn called Shuiyunjian. The name of this inn sounded fancy, but in fact it was just a relatively small inn, but it was above average in all aspects.

Mainly because of them, the Man Yue Building was already burned down. How could other inn owners dare to accept these giant Buddhas? After all the hard talk, they found Shuiyunjian.

In the next few days, Xu Jing and others stayed in this Shuiyunjian. They would go shopping in Xinzhou every day when they were free. Most of the time, they would stay in the inn and do their own things.

The medicine they made has already begun to be transported to the front line. Xu Jing has also received news from the front line one after another in the past few days, saying that there have been several small-scale attacks between the imperial army and the enemy, but the two sides The army has not yet faced it head-on.

Mainly because the enemy has maintained a defensive posture and has not taken the initiative to attack. In this case, the imperial army can only take the initiative to attack the city, and attacking the city is naturally more difficult than defending the city.

Many times, the person who defeats the defending party is not his opponent, but the defending party's lack of supplies or declining morale in the city.

But Xu Jing looked at the map of Dachu. Yizhou, where the Jiang family and their current base camp is, is close to the border of Dachu. Next to it is the territory of the Dadan tribe. The Dadan tribe is one of the foreign tribes that they persuaded to attack Chu together. As long as the Dadan tribe Continue to support them and deliver supplies to them, and they will not have the problem of insufficient supplies in a short time.

Instead of relying on hope that they don't have enough supplies, it's better to find ways to lower their morale.

Other than that, their life in Xinzhou was extremely peaceful, as if those tragic murders not long ago had never happened.

After Princess Ling and Concubine Fang arrived at the new inn, they kept themselves locked in the inn and hardly went out.

On the morning of the third day, Xu Jing went down to the lobby early in the morning to have breakfast as usual. While she and Song Qingyun were having breakfast, Concubine Fang suddenly walked down slowly with Sanye.

Nowadays, she no longer needs to pretend to be a pregnant woman. Her originally bulging belly is flat, which makes her clothes look a little baggy.

Xu Jing raised her eyes and glanced at her, smiling lightly, "It's rare to see your concubine in the lobby."

Concubine Fang raised her lips in a very far-fetched manner, walked straight to Xu Jing, and whispered: "Can I have a few words with Madam Xu?"

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded, "Concubine, please take a seat."

Concubine Fang gave a wry smile, sat down opposite her, and said, "Now when I hear someone call me Concubine, I feel extremely ridiculed. Concubine Xu, I just want to ask you about my... previous behavior , how will I be sentenced? Can I return to Qizhou in the future? "

As she spoke, her eyes quietly turned red.

She doesn't ask for anything now, she just wants to return to her hometown and stay with her family.

And her miserable newborn child, she hadn't even had a chance to hold him properly.

Xu Jing was stunned, put down the chopsticks in her hands, and said: "I am only responsible for investigating the case, not for sentencing. However, the concubine's previous behavior was only due to coercion, and the government should use its discretion to give a lighter sentence."

"really?"

Concubine Fang couldn't help but ask: "Can't sentencing be carried out only after we have to go to Xijing? How long...are we going to stay here? When will we continue to go to Xijing?"

Xu Jing smiled lightly, "It shouldn't take long."

Concubine Fang couldn't help but look at her suspiciously.

It won't take long. How long?

She looked at it. During the few days they stayed in Xinzhou, Madam Xu didn't go to investigate the case.

Governor Zhang only came to the inn once or twice a day, but he didn't hear any progress in the case.

Xu Jing calmly pushed the stack of pastries in front of Concubine Fang and said, "Concubine Concubine, you don't need to think too much. It's still early. Concubine Concubine probably hasn't had her breakfast yet, so we need to eat some together." Something." As soon as Xu Jing finished speaking, several soldiers suddenly ran in from outside. The leading soldier held a big sword in his hand and said nervously: "Everyone, please close all the doors in Shuiyunjian immediately! ! Keep guard! The enemy is coming! Don't let a fly enter the inn!"

When the soldiers guarding the inn heard this, their expressions suddenly became tense. They responded in unison, then quickly set off and closed all the doors of the inn. At the same time, they drew out their weapons and looked like A look of preparedness.

Xu Jing and others were startled, and couldn't help but listen carefully. Sure enough, they heard the faint sound of fighting not far away.

Although the sound of the fighting was weak, it sounded very messy and intense. It was only weak at this time because the place where the fighting was taking place was still some distance away from them.

Concubine Fang couldn't help but turn a little pale, and looked at Xu Jing with panicked eyes, "Mrs. Xu, what on earth...is going on?!"

Xu Jing turned her head to look at the closed door. There was no trace of surprise on her face, she just said softly: "We're finally here."

Although Song Qingyun was a little confused, after following Xu Jing for such a period of time, she had finally mastered it. She said, "Is... the Jiang family here?"

Concubine Fang was stunned.

Is it the Jiang family? But, didn’t the Jiang family come here for Prince Ling?
Even if His Highness Prince Ling is really not dead, he is not here with them!

Xu Jing suddenly turned to look at Chen Hu, "Chen Hu, the master is here. Could you please go and invite the concubine..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Jing saw a familiar graceful figure appear at the stairs on the second floor.

Princess Ling, who had not shown her face for several days, was wearing a plain long dress. She walked down slowly with the support of Aunt Lu and Dongyang with a not so pretty face, and said in a cold voice: "What on earth is going on?" ? Why is it so noisy outside?"

Xu Jing looked up at her. Her indifferent expression when she was identified as the mastermind could no longer be maintained.

She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a half-smile: "The concubine should know what is going on. The Jiang family would go to war like this only because of one person."

Princess Ling's body stiffened suddenly, and her face instantly turned pale.

Grandma Lu couldn't help but said: "Impossible, how could you possibly...how could it be possible..."

"How can we find His Highness Prince Ling, right?"

Xu Jing stood up and said quietly: "But the fact is, we don't need to go looking for it, he will come to our door by himself."

After saying that, she smiled faintly at Princess Ling, who was still on the stairs, and said, "Since Princess Ling has come down, do you want to come over and wait for the result with us?"

Princess Ling finally couldn't hide it anymore, looking at Xu Jing with hatred in her eyes, her cheeks tightened.

But in the end, she didn't say anything, walked down slowly, and found a place to sit down.

She didn't believe anything until she saw that person for the last time.

That child usually listens to her the most, and he will never go against her wishes.

Several people were sitting in the lobby, but no one spoke. With the sounds of fighting getting closer and more intense outside, the atmosphere was indescribably weird.

Finally, the door of the inn was slammed open, and just when everyone's hearts were in their throats, they finally saw clearly that it was their soldiers who opened the door.

And the man who was firmly protected by a few blood-stained soldiers in the middle, who was wearing a simple robe and a straw hat on his head tilted to one side, was not King Ling who had been "dead" a few days ago. who is it!
Princess Ling's eyes suddenly widened, and finally she couldn't help but stood up suddenly, and said loudly and sternly: "Why are you back! I have done so many things for you, and I have prepared everything for you, how could you return!"
