Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

"I have things I want to do."

Yuan Jing looked at Liu Yao and spoke casually.

Liu Yao hesitated for a moment, then thought that he had no reason to stop the princess, so he nodded, but there was a hint of worry in his voice.

"Okay, Princess, please do as you please. Then the Princess's Mansion..."

Yuan Jing knew at a glance that Liu Yao was worried about her cousin Meng, and said unhappily:

"I will leave the mansion to someone I trust to look after it, and I will not mistreat your cousin Sangsang."

When saying the word "Sangsang", there seems to be a sour taste mixed in with the subtle emphasis.

The smell was not strong, Liu Hao didn't notice it, and Yuan Jing didn't notice it either.

He felt that he was perfectly normal. On the contrary, when he thought back to the past, he felt that his behavior of deliberately avoiding Liu Yao was very strange.

"Then I'll trouble you, Princess."

The problem he was worried about was solved, and Liu Yao smiled brightly.

This sense of ease also infected Yuan Jing.

The depressed feeling in his heart disappeared, and the corners of his lips slightly curled up.

-

The situation in Yanzhou was urgent. After Liu Yao received the imperial edict, he set out with disaster relief supplies within a few days.

Before leaving the capital, she went to count the number of relief supplies.

If there is a shortage, once it is discovered on the spot, the responsible officials can be ordered to make up the difference.

On the second day after the replacement, Liu Yao left for Yanzhou. The officials in charge wanted to find another opportunity to detain him but there was nothing they could do.

Back at the empty warehouse, the official in charge listened to the reports from his subordinates with a livid face. It was impossible to call back those who had already left, so he could only grit his teeth.

Liu Yao did not see this scene, but even if she didn't see it, she could guess a little based on their temperament and style.

Thinking of that picture, Liu Yao smiled mischievously like a child.

Yuan Jing was sitting in the same carriage with her. When he saw her like this, he shook his head in amusement.

He didn't know when it started, but when he was with Liu Yao, he seemed to no longer feel the haze that always covered his head.

The carriage swayed as it moved forward towards Yanzhou City.

Perhaps because they were wary of Liu Gao's identity as the son-in-law of the emperor, or perhaps because they knew that Princess Yuan Jing would be accompanying them on this disaster relief mission, the actions of the "parasites" who were ready to make a move were stopped halfway.

Along the way, the team led by Liu Yao did not encounter any "robbers" blocking the road outside, and the speed of the carriage was naturally much faster than others.

In just three days, they were close to Yanzhou's jurisdiction.

Liu Yao observed the situation on both sides along the way. The closer she got to Yanzhou, the tighter her brows furrowed.

"Didn't the official who reported it say that Yanzhou's situation was not good? Why does it seem a little strange now?"

Liu Hao lifted the carriage curtain and looked into the distance.

A plaque with the two large Chinese characters "Yanzhou" hanging on it indicated that the destination was just around the corner. The high city walls were heavily guarded, and the city gates below were tightly closed, as if not even a mosquito was allowed to get out.

A flood had just occurred in Yanzhou City, so there must be very few people coming to Yanzhou, but there must be people who want to escape.

Although the flood has receded, shops and farmland cannot be restored so quickly.

The relief food that Liu Yao and his team were transporting has not arrived yet, and those families who are financially strapped or whose lives have been severely damaged by the flood cannot hold out for long.

Then, they would most likely become refugees, fleeing to other places, such as the capital or nearby states and counties, to find food to feed themselves.

If I don't escape, how can I survive without food?

The above is a judgment based on normal circumstances.

But Yanzhou City just went against this judgment.

There was no sign of anyone leaving outside the city, and Liu Yao didn't even see a few refugees along the way.

This is the first thing that's wrong.

The second strange thing was the strict guard on the city wall.

This time is the time for post-disaster reconstruction.

The provincial and county governors did not use the city's resources to resettle the victims, but instead spent their energy on closing the city gates. This behavior is strange no matter how you look at it.

He did this as if he was on guard against something.

Are you guarding against their arrival?

Liu Hao shook his head.

This doesn't make sense.

They were here to deliver relief supplies, and they had an imperial edict personally issued by the Emperor.

Refusing to comply with the order for no reason... Unless the governor wanted to occupy the city and establish himself as king, he would never arrange guards to refuse them entry.

So, the object of defense... combined with the unusual situation that there were almost no refugees in front, Liu Yao thought of something and immediately lowered the curtain of the car window.

She stopped the carriage, stood up, got off, and walked to the captain of the guard who was escorting the relief supplies.

"Lin Feng, you are no longer needed to escort the supplies. Now, go get a fast horse, take the imperial edict from His Majesty, and ride as fast as you can to Chongzhou next door to find the local governor."

"Tell him to send troops to Yanzhou immediately. If he doesn't come, tell him that the prince consort and the princess are trapped in Yanzhou City. See if he can afford the price."

Yuan Jing stood behind Liu Yao, listening to her explanation to the captain of the guards, and understood something.

"Consort."

He called out to Liu Hao.

Liu Hao turned his head and saw Yuan Jing. He clasped his hands together and bowed his head in greeting.

Then he looked up and said:

"Princess, the situation in Yanzhou City is probably out of control. I will assign a team to you later. You follow Lin Feng to the neighboring Chongzhou and protect your own safety first."

"how about you?"

She arranged everything, but she didn't mention where she was going.

Especially if he really followed Lin Feng to Chongzhou, the Chongzhou governor might not be so anxious to send troops to Yanzhou to rescue people.

After all, sending troops would be tantamount to offending the governor of Yanzhou, as well as the people behind him.

If the princess is of authentic royal blood, it is necessary to send troops immediately no matter how worried the governor of Chongzhou is.

The princess consort is different; she is merely a royal relative who has become one by clinging to the princess.

As long as the princess is willing, she can be replaced by another one after she dies. In the eyes of the Chongzhou governor, it is not that important.

If she sends someone with the imperial edict to ask for help, the governor of Chongzhou will send troops.

But the timing of sending troops is uncertain.

The situation in Yanzhou is unclear now, and every moment after entering could be a life-and-death crisis.

As long as the Chongzhou governor had some concerns and deliberately sent troops a little slower, her safety would be in danger.

Liu Yao walked to the carriage, took down the imperial edict and handed it to Lin Feng. When he heard Yuan Jing's question, he looked very relaxed and said lightly:

"It's okay. I'll stay in there quietly, and the guards of Yanzhou won't do anything to me."

"Even if I really discovered something, they can't just kill me. I can still wait until you guys come back with reinforcements."

But if it was really that simple, why would Liu Yao want to send Yuan Jing away first?
