The peerless and dark princess

Not to mention what was happening on Zhao Yanqing's side, on the other side, Zuo Ci and Zuo Qi were in the carriage, sometimes complaining about the carriage being too hard, and sometimes asking Zuo Ci to bring out all kinds of food, etc. Du Yuanhuai got a headache after listening to the report from the escort guards. Fortunately, although this "ancestor" made a fuss, he did not delay the journey. The matter of Yuecheng could not be delayed.

"Sir, this..."

"Don't worry about him. As long as he doesn't delay things, he can do whatever he wants."

"Yes."

Zuo Ci heard that the escorting guards were no longer approaching his carriage, so he asked Zuo Qi to take out the letter and report. It was delivered before departure, and he had not had time to read it yet. Yesterday, Zuo Ci learned that he would also be going to Yuecheng, so he sent someone to bring the news from Yuecheng.

"Zuo Qi, it seems that the situation in Yuecheng is very serious..."

"The prefect is one of our men, but the flood is truly severe. While we secretly transferred some food over, it's a drop in the bucket. Sir, we don't know how much food this team has when we go to Yuecheng this time..."

"Well, it was possible before, but now that the boss is angry, he definitely won't fool around. Oh, right, last night I asked Leng Ying to go and protect Yun Xin and Miss Chu, he..."

"Based on Leng Ying's speed, he should be in Yuecheng tomorrow morning. Sir, Miss Chu is in Yuecheng, and the people in Prince Yan's Mansion will naturally take care of her. Besides, isn't Xiaojiu also with Miss Yunxin? Why do you still need to send Leng Ying there?"

"This is a flood, and there are victims everywhere. I'm afraid those people will fight for food. I'm afraid Xiaojiu can't protect her alone. If they are ruthless, it's okay. I'm afraid they are too kind and will..." Zuo Ci couldn't help but think of the time when he was young and followed his father to southern Xinjiang and encountered refugees. Because of him, he almost killed the guards around him. Fortunately, his father acted decisively and drove away directly, otherwise he would have been surrounded by those refugees...

At this moment, Zuo Yunxin and Chu Moxuan were scolded by Master Yan and were in a depressed mood without saying a word.

"If I had known you two were like this, I wouldn't have brought you two to this dangerous place."

"Master, we were wrong. We felt sorry for the people and gave them food. Who knew..."

Chu Moxuan's eyes were red. Everything was fine a few days ago, but yesterday, seeing that the victims had no food to eat, she and Zuo Yunxin took their own rations to give to the victims. Who knew... it happened that Master Yan was not with them at that time.

"Though they are Dali's people, when they are extremely hungry, they can do anything. This, Yunxin, you have experienced something like this before, why??"

"I……"

In fact, Zuo Yunxin had tried to stop him, but Chu Moxuan acted too quickly and he was surrounded by the victims before he could escape. If it weren't for Zuo Jiu and the Chu family's secret guards, he would not have been able to escape so easily. However, he still lost one of Chu Lianyao's personal guards.

"Alright, I just received a message from Prince Chu saying that the emperor ordered Du Yuanhuai and Zuo Ci to come here to provide disaster relief and bring food. They should be here in two or three days... For the next few days, you should treat patients here. I'm worried that if something happens to you two outside, I won't be able to take care of you..."

"Master!!!"

"It's no use if you act like a spoiled brat. If anything happens to you, I can't bear the consequences..."

Zuo Yunxin was resentful, while Chu Moxuan was horrified. She had experienced such things before in the capital, only to be mocked by the noble ladies and disliked by the noble children. Fortunately, Chu Moxuan had been practicing martial arts with her two brothers since she was young. She had recently been trained by Master Yan and, through her time with Zuo Yunxin, had also learned to some extent how to use poison. With the Chu family's guards protecting her, she was safe, and Zuo Yunxin only suffered minor injuries.

"Yun Xin," Chu Moxuan's voice was a little hoarse, "It was really terrifying just now. I just wanted to help them... What a pity..."

"Mo Xuan, it's okay. I know you mean well, but you can't do this at a time like this. I've seen in southern Xinjiang how hungry people can be. If my brother hadn't come to save me, my parents, and Brother Yuan, I'm afraid..."

Zuo Yunxin hugged Chu Moxuan and patted her back.

"Yun Xin, you're obviously a year or two younger than me, but you understand a lot more than I do... Actually, I'm just sad. If I hadn't been disobedient, my uncle wouldn't have died..."

After Zuo Ci left the capital, Mu Wange only stayed at the Prince of Yan's Mansion for two days before returning to the Mu Mansion with Mu Haolin. Mu Lanxin had made good progress, having sorted out the accounts of the several shops Mu Wange had given her to manage in just two days. She then went out to secretly reorganize the shops, which resulted in more profitable sales. However, Wange still felt she didn't have enough staff. She had originally planned to bring the people Zuo Ci had trained with her after Zuo Jiu returned from Southern Xinjiang, but now she could only have Shiqi and Dongmei take over temporarily. However, she couldn't control the situation. After all, of Wange's four maids, only Yihua had better martial arts skills. But how could a maid who had never seen blood stand up to those trained by Leng Qing and the others? Later, the eight-year-old Mu Ying overpowered them. After all, this was a disciple Zuo Jiu had taught him everything he knew, and Mu Ying already had a foundation in martial arts...

"Master, are Sister Dongmei and Sister Shiqi..." Mu Ying said to Mu Wange with a frown.

"Well, I know. I don't have anyone on my side, so I'm asking you to help Ah Mei and Shi Qi keep an eye on those people. Besides, your master will be the only one in charge of these people from now on... and she currently has the highest martial arts skills, so I need you to stay in front of Lin'er..."

"Master, I know. I will definitely protect you."

"Mu Ying, do you know why I gave you this name? Of course, I originally wanted to find a reliable person to protect Lin'er, but you are also Lin'er's brother. Although you are not of the same blood as Lin'er and me, in my eyes, you and Qingyu are both my younger brothers, so there is no need to distance yourself from me..."

Mu Wange originally had the intention of training people, but after thinking about how Mu Haolin got along with Qingyu and Mu Ying, she gradually got used to them being around him, even though Mu Haolin was indeed a little better off than them in some aspects...

"master..."

Mu Ying was panicking. He didn't know how to handle this situation. Previously, he had carefully hidden himself from the traffickers, fearing his enemies would discover him and prevent him from avenging his family. He didn't trust anyone. But here, although he was nominally Mu Haolin and Mu Wange's servants, he and Qingyu were not servants at all. They learned to read and write like Mu Haolin, and practiced martial arts together. He had learned more than Qingyu. This was the master Mu Wange had sought out, knowing he had a grudge against him...

"Thank you, Miss."

"Well, I accept this thank you. However, you can also treat me as your sister from now on. Also, wait until you have enough strength to go to your enemy..."

"Ah."

Then Mu Ying left straight away. Mo Xi looked at his back and felt that his figure seemed a little different.

Oh, this boy is so cold and cruel...
