Shengjing Noble

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? I don't understand."

Su Lanyin frowned and looked at him innocently, not forgetting to blink her big watery eyes.

Her young little face was full of innocence, and anyone who saw it would unconsciously believe that she knew nothing.

But Fu Wuyang curled his lips and smiled, and the hand that was pinching her chin became tighter and tighter.

"Your acting is very good, but it's a pity that this king doesn't buy your tricks."

Su Lanyin clenched her teeth in pain and pushed him away.

"Your Majesty, I don't care which one you choose. Anyway, I have already given you the treasure map. As for the rest, I know nothing."

She stood up, her face becoming even colder.

Fu Wuyang tried to get closer again, but she put her hand on his chest. Her slender little palm pressed tightly against his chest, and he could feel the soft touch through the clothes.

Then, she clenched her fist, leaving only her index finger pointing at his heart, and pushed him a little further away.

Although the distance between them was not too great, this small movement made it difficult for him to take his eyes off her slender, white fingertips.

Those lustrous nails exude a light pink hue, which is the unique beauty of a young girl.

Although he was over twenty years old, he was still full of vigor and vitality. He could not stand such unintentional little movements of a woman. Even his heartbeat was disrupted for a moment.

Su Lanyin didn't notice the changes in his heart. She just felt that this would push him further away and increase her sense of security.

She said with a look of vigilance: "No matter how bad I am, I am still a county lady. My brother is an official appointed by the court and holds the imperial sword. If the prince wants to harm me, I am afraid I will not be able to explain myself afterwards!"

Fu Wuyang raised his eyes slightly and moved his gaze from his fingertips to her face. He was obviously furious but he still felt like laughing.

It seems that he is really angry to the extreme.

"Heh... You put on a harmless face and play tricks on me. Are you really not afraid of death, or do you just not know whether to live or die?"

He is the famous King Xiaoyao who is always decisive in punishing evildoers, so killing a person is not difficult for him. It can even be said to be as easy as stepping on an ant to death.

Su Lanyin knew that his status and position should not be underestimated, but she could not give up the people's disaster relief food for the sake of the powerful.

That was something the previous county magistrate risked his life to protect, so she must hand it over to her second brother personally, and he will distribute it to every citizen!

"Your Highness, of course I am afraid of death, but even a weak woman like me knows what to do and what not to do. As a royal relative, you have always had no worries about food and clothing, but why are you so greedy and must find that treasure?"

There was a light in her eyes, twinkling like the stars in the night sky, which was enough to prove that these words came from the heart.

Fu Wuyang was a little puzzled: "You mean, I feel sorry for the people?"

Su Lanyin really wanted to nod, but seeing his serious expression, she was afraid that if she really stepped on his sore spot, it would not end well.

It doesn't matter if it's just a small fight, but if she really angers a beast, then one can imagine what will happen to her.

She wasn't stupid enough to joke with her own life.

"I just want to say that these treasures may not be valuable."

"So you don't know what it is?"

"I... there is a hint on the treasure map, and I am just guessing."

"What did you guess?"

"I guess that's the disaster relief grain left by the previous county magistrate."

Su Lanyin stared at him, unwilling to miss any subtle expression that flashed across his face.

Because she was testing whether the free and easy king who punished evil and promoted good in the martial arts world was really in cahoots with the prince!

Fu Wuyang narrowed his eyes, obviously guessing her intention.

But he also hesitated.

Fu Mingheng sent people to test him again and again, but he still couldn't figure out who Su Lanyin belonged to.

Who knows if she was arranged by the prince, and this drama is just to test his bottom line.

Previously in Guose Tianxiang, Fu Mingheng sent a woman who looked very similar to his childhood sweetheart to test him.

This time...will it be like this again?

The two of them stared at each other, neither of them dared to reveal themselves, and they were equally on guard.

Until someone breaks into the dungeon.

Su Yongcheng looked anxious: "Your Majesty, this is bad. The people are making trouble at the gate of the county government again, and someone is going to hang himself in public!"

Fu Wuyang turned around and glared at him with an extremely sharp gaze, which scared Su Yongcheng so much that he immediately shut up.

He snorted coldly and turned to walk out of the cell, suppressing anger in his tone: "If you can't even handle such a small matter, how can you be a county magistrate?"

Su Yong was originally a coward, and the bravest thing he had done in his life was to pursue Lu Wanjun.

So at this moment he was so scared that his legs were shaking and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate really... has no other choice... Please, Your Highness... Please, Your Highness, please step in..."

Fu Wuyang would not clean up his mess, and snorted coldly: "Humph, you destroyed the relief grain that Su Lanyin brought, so you have to make up for it yourself. Otherwise, do you want me to pay this money? You are more likely to cause trouble than to help, so get out now!"

Su Yongcheng's face changed drastically, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only crawl out.

Seeing this, Su Lanyin felt that her mammary glands became much more unobstructed. There was actually a day when Su Yongcheng was so scared that he didn't even dare to be tough.

Where was that noble and proud attitude from before? How come it was gone?

As soon as Su Yongcheng left, a black shadow appeared in the dungeon following him.

He knelt on one knee in front of Fu Wuyang and whispered, "Your Highness, the spies reported that the bandits on Black Cloud Mountain have gathered a large number of troops and are gradually approaching Qiu County. I'm afraid they will arrive at the city gate tonight."

"What?" Fu Wuyang frowned, obviously not expecting such a thing to happen suddenly.

There was a drought in Qiu County. The bandits who occupied the hilltops not only hunted for a living, but also ran to the villages at the foot of the hill from time to time to rob houses.

But they have never been close to Qiu County in these years.

Firstly, it was difficult for them to take action because Qiu County was garrisoned by troops; secondly, they did not dare to anger the imperial court, fearing that they would be targeted by the government and annihilated in one fell swoop.

But for some unknown reason, this group of bandits actually planned to attack Qiu County.

"How many people are there on the other side?"

"According to the spies, there were only 200 to 300 bandits on Black Wind Mountain before, but for some reason their numbers have suddenly increased dramatically recently. Now there are at least a thousand of them, and they all have weapons."

Fu Wuyang sensed something was wrong and asked, "If there were refugees who were desperate and were forced to go to Black Wind Mountain to start banditry, that would make sense, but where did these weapons come from?"

This is also what Su Lanyin is confused about.

After all, I haven't heard of anyone buying in large quantities at Qiu County Weapon Shop?

Even if they forged it themselves, they would need a large amount of iron ore. These mines are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Where would a group of bandits come from?

There must be something fishy going on here!

Fu Wuyang thought about it, and then asked: "How many people in Qiu County can resist the enemy now?"

"All the officials and the soldiers we brought with us probably only have less than 300 people."

"so little?"

"Your Highness, have you forgotten? You said at the beginning that food was in short supply and that you should bring as few people as possible."
