The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 302
"As long as I can do it!" Hao Ren added with a foxy smile.

You can do it!Leng Ping said in her heart.

As long as Hao Ren agrees to divorce her, then Hao Shi should be happy to accept it.After all, Hao Shi and Hao Shi are mother and son, right?
Leng Ping relaxed her shoulders, lay on the window and looked out of the window boredly, but didn't notice the flash of light in Hao Ren's eyes.

Leng Ping has been in the ancient times for three years, and the farthest place is Yuancheng. Now that she can finally see the capital of this dynasty, Leng Ping feels excited when she thinks about it. The more this happens, the longer the journey feels.

It is said that the distance from Licheng to Tiancheng is more than 1000 miles, and it is not bad for a horse-drawn carriage to travel [-] miles a day. In addition, it is snowing and the road is slippery now. Calculated, you can reach Tiancheng at the earliest before New Year's Eve.

Liu Laifu took great care of Leng Ping and Hao Shi along the way. The carriage was covered with thick quilts, fearing that the two of them would be bored. When eating and resting, he would always go to find some new gadgets to relieve their boredom.

After walking for three days, the carriage finally entered the territory of the three cities attached to Tiancheng.

The three cities attached to the city are the fiefdoms of the current vassal king and the general who protects the country. Among the several vassal kings, the fiefdom is the closest to Tiancheng, and it is also the most powerful. It is said that there are [-] personal soldiers protecting the king.

In fact, the land of the Great General Protecting the Country, that is, Situ Zhanchen, was originally on the border, with a vast territory. Although it is not as rich as the attached city, it is still far away from the sky and the emperor is very happy. However, three years ago, the emperor changed the land of the vassal king. Said it was to sympathize with Situ Zhanchen's hard work.

Many people thought that Situ Zhanchen would refuse. Prince Lan, who has always supported himself, took the opportunity to win over Situ Zhanchen. Seeing that the celestial dynasty was about to be turbulent, but unexpectedly, Situ Zhanchen agreed to the emperor's decision to seal the land Moved to Fucheng and lived under the eyes of the emperor.

Three years ago, Situ Zhanchen's move made many people puzzled. In this way, the emperor relaxed his vigilance against Situ Zhanchen. Years, the people all cheered.

It has been a year and a half since the tax reduction and exemption, and the three attached cities are more prosperous than before.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, many shops in Licheng should be closed, and they are going to go back to celebrate the New Year, but the streets and alleys in Fucheng are still very lively.

After being bored in the carriage for three days, Leng Ping felt tired and wanted to go out for a stroll, but seeing that Liu Laifu was on the road all the way, she didn't mention this request.

"Master Xie Yuan, Miss Leng, the dry rations in the car are gone, and the little ones need to prepare dry rations. This attached city is very lively, and it is the fief of the Great General Protecting the Country. Why don't you go out for a while? Just don't delay too much. It's been a long time, otherwise we won't be able to reach Tiancheng before thirty!" After the carriage entered the city, Liu Laifu suddenly stopped the carriage and asked respectfully outside.

Liu Laifu's words hit Leng Ping's heart, so Leng Ping nodded and said, "We don't want to delay too much, we will come back after buying some handkerchiefs for washing."

Liu Laifu nodded, and asked the two men he brought with him to guard Leng Ping and Hao Ren, while he went to buy dry food.

Liu Laifu went to the inn, but came out through the back door, turned a few corners on the street, and went straight into a courtyard.

The yard is very poor, there is only one big pagoda tree, and there is a layer of dust on the porch pillars, it does not look like a permanent resident.

Liu Laifu entered the courtyard, he was familiar with driving, and soon reached the middle courtyard, a young boy in Tsing Yi had been waiting at the gate of Kuayuan, saw Liu Laifu, said something in a low voice, and immediately led Liu Laifu in.

In the study room across the courtyard, there were only a few simple books, which could be seen as decorations. A man in silver brocade was standing in front of the window. The window was opened in the cold weather, as if he was enjoying the scenery outside the window.

"Master!" The servant outside the door called, and the man turned around, with a square face, sword eyebrows and star eyes, imposing manner, and a tall and straight figure. He was the master of the three attached cities - General Situ Zhanchen.

Liu Laifu entered the door, stepped forward, and quickly knelt down to Situ Zhanchen.

"Get up!" Situ Zhanchen personally stepped forward to help Liu Laifu up, his brows and eyes were very polite, "Butler Liu has worked hard all the way, is the journey going well?"

Liu Laifu nodded quickly, "It's been a smooth journey, thanks to the general's concern!"

Situ Zhanchen nodded, and gave Liu Laifu a few more instructions, Liu Laifu responded respectfully, and was led out of the courtyard by the servant.

Not long after Liu Laifu left, a man wearing a python robe with jade white arrow sleeves and a crown of white jade wings came out from behind the screen. He was the Ninth Prince Tianhao.

"Unexpectedly, Liu Ying's old family has also become your eyeliner. Your current power is really not to be underestimated! It seems that the emperor let you come back, not only did not imprison you, but planted a beast by his side!" Tian Hao Slowly curled his lips.

"I'm just protecting myself!" Situ Zhanchen raised his eyebrows.

"It's just that this king is very strange. How did you buy that Liu Laifu? It is said that Liu Ying is very kind to Liu Laifu!" Tian Hao's eyes were full of doubts.

Liu Laifu's surname is not Liu, no one remembers what his surname is, but it is said that when Liu Laifu's brother and parents were seriously ill, Liu Ying paid for the diagnosis and treatment. After that, Liu Laifu changed his surname and stayed in Liu's residence for 30 years.

Now Liu Laifu is the chief steward of the Liu House, because Liu Ying and Liu Huan live together without a separate family, so many people who want to curry favor with the Liu House, the first person to curry favor with Liu Laifu is Liu Laifu, but Liu Laifu is not a person , is difficult to control unless...

"Liu Laifu entered Liu's family back then to repay his kindness. This general will naturally find ways to be kind to him. He has a younger sister who was lost for 30 years and was only found last year. Didn't you Qianjitang find out?" Situ Zhanchen sneered.

Tianhao was startled, slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder! It's just someone we couldn't find, how did you find it?"

Situ Zhanchen smiled lightly and remained silent.

"Now this attached city has been exempted from taxes for a year and a half, and the people in the city praise the emperor, so the pressure on you is not small?" Tian Hao slowly curled his lips.

Although Fucheng is now Situ Zhanchen's fiefdom, the emperor has reduced or exempted taxes at this stall. Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the emperor wants to buy people's hearts this time and trip Situ Zhanchen.

But a year and a half ago, Situ Zhanchen accepted it without saying a word.

It has been a year and a half now, and taxes will be resumed in March next year.

People are used to not paying taxes. If Situ Zhanchen starts to collect taxes, people will naturally complain.

"I heard that Mengzi Kingdom has been ready to move since spring?" Situ Zhanchen asked without answering.

"Don't you know this matter better than me? The emperor sent Chahuer to lead the troops himself, but Chahuer is just a reckless man. He may be very skilled in martial arts, but he doesn't know how to use soldiers. It is true that more than half of the troops have been lost. The emperor said that This time I was very angry!" Tianhao laughed.
