Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

Shen Qingge immediately sat up straight and smiled coldly. These people came faster than she had imagined!

It seems that County Magistrate Zhang is not as foolish as the legend says. He has so quickly linked the mine explosion to the Fifth Prince Xiao Heng. It seems that he is gathering his men and looking for Xiao Heng to have "tea"!

That was perfect, she had been planning to meet with County Magistrate Zhang. But before that, she needed to inform Xiao Heng about what happened last night, lest he be caught off guard and suffer a loss.

Shen Qingge came back too late last night and was worried about disturbing Xiao Heng's rest, so she didn't tell him the situation in time.

Now, she took advantage of the fact that she had just woken up in the morning and everyone was busy packing up and making breakfast, so she quickly slipped away and came to the upper room where Xiao Heng was.

This time, she was very polite. After the "awkward" incident last night, she knew that she should keep some distance from Xiao Heng. After all, men and women should not be intimate with each other. Even if it was an accident, she could not do it. At least she could not barge into the room as if no one was around, especially in the morning.

If Xiao Heng was bathing and changing clothes at this time, she would have disturbed the prince, which was really inappropriate.

So, after making sure that no one was watching, she gently knocked on the door.

Her knock on the door was light and rhythmic. The person in the room immediately noticed it and opened the door a crack. After seeing that it was her, he quickly opened the door and welcomed her in.

The person who opened the door was Cangyu, and Yunyi was inside the house helping Xiao Heng wash up.

And when she saw Xiao Heng for the first time, Shen Qingge was given a big surprise.

Xiao Heng had already dressed. He wore a plain white robe with gold trim, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns, which complemented the mutton-fat jade hairpin on his head.

The most important point is that he stood there quietly, with a very tall figure, black hair and white clothes, gentle as jade, and elegant.

Shen Qingge couldn't help but exclaimed: "Prince, are you able to stand firmly and walk?"

Xiao Heng smiled and nodded slightly, then stroked his sleeves and took two steady steps forward.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!" Shen Qingge was filled with joy from the bottom of her heart.

Yun Yi hurriedly thanked him from the side: "It is all thanks to Madam Shen's superb medical skills that the prince was able to recover so quickly. It is simply a miracle that he has been brought back to life!"

Cang Yu also quickly echoed, "I misunderstood you earlier and my words were offensive. I hope you will forgive me."

The whole room was instantly filled with joy.

Seeing Shen Qingge arrive early in the morning, Xiao Heng assumed she had something important to tell him, so he asked her to sit down and asked, "Miss Shen, do you have something urgent to tell me?"

Shen Qingge listened attentively for a moment, and estimated that the army led by County Magistrate Zhang must have at least five or six hundred people, so he said seriously:

"Yes, Your Highness. I was just listening in the courtyard when I sensed an army approaching the inn from a distance. They were numerous, and I think it was County Magistrate Zhang, with ill intentions. They'll reach the inn in about half an hour!"

Yun Yi's expression tightened when he heard this, and he immediately lay on the ground. He then nodded and said, "There are sounds of horse hooves and running coming from afar!"

After hearing this, Xiao Heng frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Zhang Jun Shou, why is this happening? Didn't we just arrive here last night? He wouldn't have acted so quickly or so brazenly."

"I think he's not here to attack, but to 'call for justice'!"

"Oh...what do you mean?"

"Last night, didn't we discuss what secrets Anshan County held? When I left your room, I discovered thieves kidnapping people. I took advantage of their tactics, pretending to faint and be kidnapped, then boarded a carriage and headed deep into their lair!

Indeed, as we expected, they were illegally mining salt. All the missing men in the surrounding area were abducted and used as laborers.

Moreover, judging from the years that the mine has been mined, it has been around for quite some time, probably nearly ten years!" Shen Qingge recounted his experiences last night.

"Oh, they are so brave, they are not afraid of losing their heads!" Yun Yi said angrily.

Cangyu was anxious to hear Shen Qingge continue her description: "Then... Madam Shen, what happened next?" he asked eagerly, wanting to know more details.

"Later, I released the laborers and blew up the mine..."

Shen Qingge casually described a difficult and dangerous task. Her tone was calm, as if it was just a piece of cake for her.

Yun Yi and Cang Yu were so shocked that their mouths opened wide and they were speechless for a long time.

At this moment, only Xiao Heng's face still looked heavy. He said in a slightly reproachful tone:

"Didn't I tell you that we are allies? How can we act alone? Blowing up a mine is no small matter. If you're not careful, you could get hurt! Are you... injured?"

Xiao Heng said the last sentence very quietly, but Shen Qingge still heard it. She shook her head slightly and gave Xiao Heng a look that said "don't worry about her".

Xiao Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "So... do you think Zhang Youning noticed something unusual about the mine collapse? After some thought, he concluded that only I am capable of such a thing, so he brought people here to cause trouble?"

"Yes!"

"Miss Shen, this is really putting a huge blame on me!" Although Xiao Heng said this, a smile appeared on his face.

"But don't worry. He won't find any evidence linking you to the mine explosion. Besides, you're a prince, so he wouldn't dare do anything to you openly! Even if he did, I wouldn't let him succeed. I will protect you."

Shen Qingge said in a firm tone.

She had thought this through before she acted yesterday. If County Magistrate Zhang wasn't so clever and didn't expect them to come, then that was fine. If he did come, she could handle it. At worst, they wouldn't return.

Similarly, Xiao Heng also had a calm expression on his face. He said calmly, "It's okay, I was just joking with you! You did a good job blowing up the mine, it's very satisfying. As for humiliating a county governor, don't worry, I will naturally find a way to deal with it!"

"Well, I'll take my leave now! Yun Yi, you must protect the prince."

After Shen Qingge finished speaking, she quickly left the upper room because she felt that the mighty army was not far from the inn and would arrive soon.

"You, take a team of men and seal off all the exits of the inn. If even a fly flies out of this inn today, I will hold you accountable!"

"The last general takes command!"

The people hadn't arrived yet, but the noise was heard first, and the Jixiang Inn was quickly surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside.
