At the beginning, I saved a little mute

During these three months, Xie Chengjing traveled to various places in the capital and first built cement roads to the main traffic arteries near the capital.

Of course, some of them were people sent to him by the Crown Prince, but Xie Chengjing was no pushover either.

Years of life in the palace had made him cautious and prudent, and he had accumulated a group of capable people under his command.

However, those people held low-ranking positions and could not offer much help.

Moreover, he was just the third prince in the palace who was not outstanding and had no support from his maternal family. No one cared about him at all.

This is a good thing, as it allows him to do things secretly and do things that others would never expect him to do, but he is also inevitably constrained by others.

"Your Highness, the cement roads leading to Wu'an County, Sanchuan County, and Qiancheng County have all been completed. The only one that has not been completed is Changping County."

"The governor of Changping County said that he has no money." Chang Yi cupped his hands and said, "If we want to build a road, we can only ask His Majesty to ask His Majesty to increase taxes by 30%."

Xie Chengjing snorted coldly and slammed the teacup heavily on the table, and the cup immediately broke into pieces.

Shizhu, who was serving on the side, immediately started to clean up.

He changed the cup of tea quietly.

"Add 30%?"

"And you still want to use my name? I'm afraid that the people of Changping County will think that the third prince is not only a playboy, but also a playboy who doesn't care about the suffering of the people."

Chang Yi didn't dare to speak.

"Since he refuses to pay, then let the prince help. It's just right to use Ding Ren as a raft."

Ding Ren was the person assigned to him by the prince. Although he had his own ways, he always liked to give orders.

Xie Chengjing had tolerated him for a long time.

......

When Jiang Zao got dressed in the morning, he always felt a squeeze around his elbows.

"This shouldn't be the case. The clothes were only made not long ago." Jiang Zao said to himself.

Qiu Shuang, who was serving beside her, circled around her twice and said, "Miss, you have grown taller again. So your clothes seem a little small. It's time to make new clothes."

"This is too fast. The clothes are still new." Jiang Zao muttered.

Qiu Shuang smiled and said, "Time flies. It has been almost a year since I came to Miss's side."

At the end of last year, Que Yunsheng found the two sisters Qiu Shuang. Counting the time, it has been almost a year.

So, Jiang Zao has been in this world for almost two years.

“It’s almost two years.”

As the master and servant were talking, Dongxue came in outside the door to report.

"The young master is back."

Jiang Zao's eyes lit up slightly.

Although Qiu Shuang didn't say anything, seeing Jiang Zao's expression, she covered her mouth and smiled and stepped back.

Leave the room to Jiang Zao and the other person.

The door curtain was lifted, and a tall and straight figure appeared.

Compared to three months ago, Que Yunsheng has grown taller.

In the yard, Chen Xiaoliu and several other personal soldiers brought by Que Yunsheng were moving things into the warehouse under the command of Qiu Shuang.

Jiang Zao stood there motionless, not because she didn't want to, but because it was really awkward.

Who knew that Que Yunsheng would come back at this time.

That girl Qiu Shuang runs very fast.

She always felt a little uncomfortable wearing clothes that were too short.

"Why are you just standing there?" Que Yunsheng stared at her with burning eyes. He missed Jiang Zao very much after not seeing her for half a month.

I wonder if Jiang Zao misses me like he does?

"You sit down first." Jiang Zao's face turned red. He turned behind the screen and came out wearing a cloak.

That cloak was exactly what Que Yunsheng gave me last time. Now that the weather is getting cooler, I can wear the cloak.

After coughing, Que Yunsheng looked at Jiang Zao who came out from behind the screen and used his hand to cover the corners of his mouth that were curled up to his ears.

It looks really good. Jiang Zao really suits this color.

We need to make more material to make a cloak for Jiang Zao.

"I brought some food and cloth this time. Take a look at what you like and use it yourself. The rest can be put in the warehouse."

"Okay."

Jiang Zao walked to the opposite side of Que Yunsheng and poured him a cup of tea. "How did you get it?"

Actually, Que Yunsheng's main business was still hunting looters, but he would often bring some things home, sometimes food, sometimes gold and silver, and sometimes rare plant seeds.

Therefore, Jiang had gotten used to it and asked casually.

"Ten days ago, I went to a remote tribe of one man. There were only a few people there, so I just conquered them. I handed over part of the spoils, and the rest was mine. I took them all home."

Que Yunsheng and Jiang Zao were talking in a rambling manner.

"How far is it?"

Jiang Zao frowned, "Are you not hurt?"

"No..." Que Yunsheng suddenly remembered what the old soldier in the barracks said.

He has a wife in his hometown.

"Injured." Que Yunsheng said, stretching out his arm, "I was stabbed."

In fact, he felt that there was nothing wrong, but he and Jiang Zao had hardly made any progress in their relationship. Every time they met, it was like a routine questioning. After more than half a year, their relationship was still at the same point.

Speaking of which, he and Jiang Zao have known each other for almost two years. At the beginning, he thought that Jiang Zao was his definite fiancée.

So most of the time, he is like a taciturn person, keeping everything to himself.

However, he found that continuing like this would not do any good to the progress of their relationship.

Therefore, Que Yunsheng is constantly changing the way he and Jiang Zao get along, striving to find a way that makes Jiang Zao feel comfortable and that he also likes.

Today is an attempt.

"Where?"

Jiang Zao was indeed getting anxious.

While looking at his arm.

"Roll up your sleeves."

"Okay." Que Yunsheng was secretly delighted. This was what Jiang Zao said himself, so it wasn't considered rude of him.

So he rolled up his left sleeve high, revealing a half-finger-long scar on his elbow.

In fact, it has healed.

Especially after Jiang Zao gave him the golden wound medicine he bought from the third prince.

It started to scab over not long after he used it.

Now there is only a scar left, which will fall off soon.

So now it doesn't look scary at all, and it's not a big wound.

But Jiang Zao took a breath and said, "Does it hurt?"

Her heart ached instantly. She could imagine where the wound was. If Que Yunsheng had not dodged in time, he would have been seriously injured. His arm might even have been broken.

Que Yunsheng was grinning.

Jiang Zao glared at him in complaint, "Are you stupid? You're injured like this, and you're still laughing? Do you want to die?"

"You care about me?"

"Nonsense, of course I care about you."

Jiang Zao didn't think twice.

If there is anyone in this world that she cannot let go of, it is Que Yunsheng.

"Then it won't hurt."

"What are you talking about?"

Que Yunsheng explained seriously, "It really doesn't hurt. When I think about the fact that I am doing this for us to have a better life, I feel full of energy, so it doesn't hurt at all."

Jiang Zao didn't say anything, but he also blushed.

"I'm serious, Jiang Zao, can you think about what I said?"
