The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 93: Do you think you can dream of me?

Xianzhou is the seat of the Jiangnan Dao.

It is also the most prosperous place among the four states of Jiangnan. Before the flood, it was even known as the Jiangnan City That Never Sleeps.

The people are rich and live a happy life.

Now, although Xianzhou had just experienced a flood, it recovered quickly from the flood thanks to the timely handling of Chang Jing, the Jiangnan Dao Promotion and Demotion Envoy.

Damaged houses and roads have been repaired.

As for those whose houses were completely destroyed by the flood, it would take time to tear them down and rebuild them. Therefore, the homeless people were accommodated in the temporary Zhishan Hall, so they did not have to suffer the hardship of sleeping in the open air and being displaced.

In just one or two months, all the shops in the city were open and the city was bustling with people, no less than before the flood.

The only areas severely affected by the floods were the farmlands outside the city.

When the floods hit, the autumn harvest was only halfway through, so half the crops were lost. Fortunately, the city had a large stockpile of military rations, and after Chang Jing opened the granaries and released the grain, the people did not have to go hungry for a while.

Therefore, Xianzhou currently has a sense of harmony and mutual assistance among the people and a sense of vitality after a major disaster.

Chang Jing had a large mansion in Xianzhou City.

In order to accommodate Mu Rong, he cleaned up the Yayuan on one side of the house.

At the same time, the study was given up for use by Cao Yang, the Junior Secretary of the Eastern Palace.

Therefore, he had already received news about the prince and knew that the people who came this time were trying to save his life.

Moreover, Marquis Weiyuan was the emperor's nephew, a high-ranking military marquis of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the one the Crown Prince was currently trying to win over. Naturally, he would provide for such a person in every possible way and would not dare neglect him. Yayuan, as its name suggests, was very elegant.

But Mu Rong didn't have time to appreciate it.

He was in the room at this time, leaning sideways on the table, swallowing the bitter medicine under the supervision of the military doctor.

"Go open the window and let the smell of the medicine go away. Clean up the residue properly too, don't let anyone find it." He frowned and reminded.

The military doctor quickly agreed, and after cleaning up, he bowed and left.

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Mu Lu, the newly promoted guard beside the Marquis. Mu Lu lowered his voice and asked, "Is the Marquis in any serious condition?"

The military doctor sighed, "The Marquis already had internal injuries, and after going through several major battles... I'm afraid he'll need to rest for a while."

But asking the Marquis to rest at this time? It is obviously impossible!

Mu Lu waved his hand and asked the military doctor to leave.

He went into the house and presented a secret letter: "Deputy General Ai has sent a letter by carrier pigeon. Everything is fine with the county lady, and there is no trouble in Yuzhou for the time being. Please rest assured, my lord."

Mu Rong rubbed his brows and said in a deep voice, "Write a reply and make him more alert."

Mu Lu agreed and left to do his work.

Mu Rong straightened up, the dull pain in his chest intensified, making it difficult for him to breathe.

When he came out of Puyang County, in order to conceal Xu Rongrong's whereabouts, he deliberately displayed a grand ceremony, alarming the entire Puyang County.

Sure enough, the people on the Second Prince's side stopped watching Xu Rongrong and decisively came over upon hearing the news, attracted by him.

But such cover-up comes at a price.

During the seven-day journey from Puyang to Jiangnan by express horse, he experienced three assassination attempts.

Every battle was surrounded by assassins, who attacked ruthlessly and used deadly moves at every step.

Although the people Mu Rong brought were all carefully selected, two people were killed and five were seriously injured in the life-and-death struggle.

Although he himself was not injured, he still pulled his previous wound in order to protect Cao Yang during the fight, which made his already unhealed internal injuries worse.

After escaping from danger, Mu Rong ordered Mu Ai to go to Yuzhou to protect Xu Rongrong.

In the previous life, the Crown Prince and Jiangnan Dao fell too quickly, and I don’t remember them eliciting any major killing moves from the Second Prince, but things are different in this life.

He and Xu Rongrong were both disrupting the Second Prince's plans, and such changes would inevitably bring about the Second Prince's killer move.

Even though he was the biggest threat to the Second Prince, who knew he wouldn't turn to Xu Rongrong after failing to capture him together for a long time?

Only when Mu Ai and Chu He's skills were combined together could he feel a little relieved.

Right now, the only way for him to feel completely at ease is to finish dealing with the matter here as soon as possible, rush to Yuzhou in person, and protect her.

Therefore, despite the constant feeling of fatigue, he still forced himself to stay awake and opened the files on the desk.

Cao Yang was worthy of being a student of the Dali Temple Minister. In just one day, he completed the compilation of all the files on the accidental deaths of six officials.

And listed several doubtful points one by one.

Six officials were appointed to be in charge of purchasing, supervision, and acceptance of the construction work in their respective prefectures.

They did not have a close relationship in their lives, but they both went to Yingzhou before their deaths.

When Mu Rong saw this, his brows furrowed deeply.

It is not surprising that the officials from Yuzhou are in this province, but what are the officials from Suzhou, Yuzhou and Xianzhou doing there?

Especially... Xianzhou is a full two days' drive from Yingzhou.

The answer is almost obvious!

Their appearance in Yingzhou at the same time must have been arranged by someone. But who was this person? Was he the one who murdered them?

These six people died in different places and their causes of death were also different. How did that person act?

The most important thing is, how to find him?

Mu Rong had a slight headache. He supported his elbows on the table, twisting his fingertips and rubbing his eyebrows.

The door was pushed open with a creaky sound.

A slender girl in green walked in carrying a basin of hot water.

She carefully placed the basin on the stand and dipped the handkerchief into it.

"I am Xiangzhu, your servant, and I will help you wipe your face." She presented the hot handkerchief with both hands.

The rising heat made Mu Rong's eyes swell slightly.

He took it, put the handkerchief on his face, and said in a muffled voice, "Go away." He took a deep breath, letting the warmth penetrate into his internal organs.

When he was at Xu's house, he had seen Xu Rongrong like to apply a handkerchief to her face when she was upset. After trying it today, he found it was indeed comfortable.

He took off the handkerchief only after it had cooled down completely.

The girl in green named Xiangzhu was still standing before him.

Mu Rong asked impatiently, "Why are you still here?"

Xiangzhu's cheeks flushed slightly. "Master Chang said that the Marquis must be very tired after traveling all day and busy investigating cases, so he ordered this servant to come and serve him."

Her demeanor was charming, how could Mu Rong not understand?

He raised an eyebrow: "How are you going to serve?"

The girl's head dropped to her chest.

When she came in just now, she had already secretly looked at the man in front of her, Weiyuan Hou... He was worthy of being the dream lover of the women in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was really handsome and unparalleled.

Her original reluctance to sacrifice herself melted the moment she saw Mu Rong.

Now that he asked, the girl's heart was filled with arousal. She shyly said, "Of course... I will serve you however your Majesty likes."

Mu Rong slowly stood up.

Xiangzhu was extremely delighted as she watched the slender figure dissolve in front of her.

She said in a delicate voice: "My Lord..."

"roll!"

Girl: “???…”

"Get lost!" Mu Rong looked at her and sneered, "Do you think a wretch like you would dare to dream of me?"
