The road of the king, the minister and the husband

Because of the three consecutive years of drought, many refugees gathered, and the emperor ordered them to be resettled in Kang'an City, a hundred miles away from the imperial city.

Kang'an City is a small city, but it is very rich. It is the only way to the imperial city, so businessmen like to rest here for a night before going to the imperial city. Because of this, there are the most restaurants in the city.

After driving for more than two hours, Xiao Yiran sat dangling in the carriage until he almost vomited, and he finally reached the outside of Kang'an City.

The city gate where people used to come and go was now surrounded by refugees from all over the place. Yin Tianqi opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at it, frowning fiercely.

Those people were all sallow and thin, and they could tell at a glance that it was because they hadn't eaten well for a few days, but the officials in charge of Kang'an City wrote a note saying that they had arranged porridge stations and provided them on time every day.

Xiao Yiran stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve, seeing that he turned his head to look at him, the creases that he hadn't seen got deeper, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and said in a low voice, "Master, something is wrong with this place, the city gates are closed so that even the guards guarding the city can't stand it." No."

Yin Tianqi also noticed this, raised his hand and knocked on the wall of the carriage, and the general Liu Chuangce who came with him immediately stepped forward, "Third Prince."

"The tents that will be brought will be set up, and the refugees will be gathered there, and the location will be circled to prevent them from rioting." The city must be entered, but these homeless people number [-] must be arranged first.

Liu Chuang took the order and said yes, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers he brought quickly set up the tent from the open space [-] meters outside Kang'an City. The refugees were very nervous when they saw the officers and soldiers coming, and they could be seen in their movements. Then they rushed over in a swarm.

Nearly a hundred people, old and young, men and women, all flocked to the tents that had been set up. Some even fell to the ground due to exhaustion, but no one helped them up but stepped on them.

With a sullen face, Xiao Yiran jumped out of the car with a frown, and ran straight to the woman who was knocked to the ground and stepped on a few times.

He bent down to help her up, and stretched out his small white hands to wipe the mud off the woman's face, and patted the footprints on her body, "Auntie, are you okay?"

The woman shook her head, looked at him gratefully, and was taken aback for a moment, this young man looks really good-looking.

"Thank you, young master, the poor woman is fine."

Xiao Yiran smiled slightly, let go of his hands and looked up at the tents that were already crowded with refugees, and sighed in his heart, there was still not enough room.

"Ma'am, why don't you go into the city?" Yin Tianqi also got out of the car, walked over and stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Yiran to his side, looked at the woman and asked.

The woman stared at him in surprise, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed, "My lord, please save us!"

Xiao Yiran was taken aback by her actions, if he said something nice, why did he fall to his knees?Tilting his head to look at Yin Tianqi in confusion, he suddenly realized.

Tsk tsk, I'm still wearing a dark yellow prince's costume when I go out, I'm afraid others don't know that he is the master!

His small eyes were so sharp that Yin Tianqi could hardly ignore him, so he could only tilt his head and stare at him, then stretched out his hand to help the woman up.

"Mother, you haven't said, why don't you go into the city?"

The woman was already in tears, pointing at the closed city gate, sobbing and sobbing, "In the city, in the city, there is a plague..."

"What?!" Yin Tianqi and Xiao Yiran stared at the same time, did they hear correctly just now?plague?

"Yes, the city lord suddenly closed the gate of the city yesterday afternoon. We are refugees who just arrived. Some of them have already entered the city. My lord, please help us!"

Yin Tianqi frowned fiercely, this matter...

"Master." Xiao Yiran pulled his hand and said softly to the woman, "Ma'am, don't worry, it must be a misdiagnosis, not the plague, you go there to rest first, and the officers and soldiers will make the porridge in a while Give it to everyone, you go first."

The woman nodded, looked at Yin Tianqi with a sullen face, and could only turn around and leave.

Seeing her walking away, Xiao Yiran took Yin Tianqi's hand and pulled him back to the carriage, with a serious expression on his face, "Master, you can't let His Majesty know what's going on here, at least not now."

Yin Tianqi looked at his stern expression and nodded slightly. That's right, you can't tell his father, unless he cures the plague here, or his father will find an excuse to abolish him.

It is impossible that such a big matter was not reported to the court. Since the emperor sent him here, he probably wanted to get rid of him as a prince. .And the emperor, acquiesced.

Seeing the cold air blowing out of his body, Xiao Yiran wrinkled his nose, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Master, slave, go and have a look. If there is really a plague, call Kong Yan." Come on, he must have a solution."

Yin Tianqi turned his head to look at him, raised his hand to pinch his chin, and snorted, "I don't need to risk your life, just stay in the car honestly."

Xiao Yiran curled his lips and lowered his eyes reluctantly.He wanted to help Yin Tianqi share these worries, but obviously, he was treated as a kid who came to join in the fun.

"The slave is not taking risks, but just wants to help the master share his worries. If the slave is left here alone, it would be better to let the slave beat him to death." Pursing his lips and not looking at Yin Tianqi's expression, Xiao Yiran felt a little depressed.

Yin Tianqi's words for the child sounded very useful. He sighed and pinched his small earlobe. Yin Tianqi thought for a while and said, "Place the refugees first, and we'll talk about entering the city later."

Hearing his words, he was relieved, Xiao Yiran nodded quickly.Following Yin Tianqi out of the carriage, to the tent where the cooking pot had already been set up, Liu Chuang directed the officers and soldiers to line up to give porridge to the refugees.

When Liu Chuang saw Yin Tianqi coming here, he hurried to his side. Looking at his expression, he knew that he had also heard about the plague in the city.

"Third prince, I didn't bring the imperial doctor with me when I left the palace this time, this plague..."

"Shut up." Yin Tianqi raised his hand and led him a little farther away. Of course, Xiao Yiran followed closely, not taking a step away.

"It's not clear what happened to this matter. We have to plan for the worst, first settle the refugees, and go to the city at night."

Yin Tianqi made up his mind, even if Kang'an City was a sea of ​​swords and flames, he would go in and make a foray.

Liu Chuang opened his mouth to persuade, but he closed his mouth after seeing his eyes, and nodded vigorously, "Yes."

He didn't have a good impression of those princes in the palace before, how can I put it, they are all a group of spoiled half-grown children, although this third prince also put forward a lot of opinions on political affairs in the early court, but he always thought it was His Majesty taught him to say it. Now it seems that his thinking must have been deviated. Perhaps the third prince can support it.

Standing aside, Xiao Yiran could see clearly the expression in Liu Chuang's eyes. He narrowed his peach blossom eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He heard that Liu Chuang's father was an important minister in the court. If he could get his support, the master would leave that position again. One step further.

Rolling his eyes, he raised his head to look at Liu Chuang, and it happened that Liu Chuang also tilted his head to look at him, with disgust and doubt in his eyes.

Xiao Yiran has long been used to this kind of scrutiny. Everyone in the palace looks at him like this, thinking that he is too feminine and not a person who can do things, but it doesn't matter, how they make a conclusion is their business, as long as Yin Tianqi does not Just abandon yourself.

"Lord Liu, being able to share the master's worries is the blessing of our slaves. Even though we are young, we know some medical skills and will not hinder the master. You should put away your disgusted expression, so as not to let outsiders see it. On the contrary, I misunderstood that the person my master brought was an idiot and lost face."

It was the first time that Xiao Yiran showed his sharp teeth outside Qiyang Palace. He is beautiful at a young age, but what he said really made people feel scalp numb.

Liu Chuang's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head and cupped his fists to bow to Yin Tianqi, and said, "I don't mean that, Third Prince, please make amends."

Yin Tianqi turned his head and glared at Xiao Yiran, who was pouting funny, shook his head slightly, and then looked at Liu Chuang, "Master Liu, don't care about him like him, but he is spoiled and has a bad temper."

That being said, the question is...spoiled?Who else is pampering besides you?This temper is not very good?It should be very bad!

"Master Liu, please forgive me. It is also the first time you leave the palace, you will inevitably miss the world, and you will laugh at me." Xiao Yiran bowed his waist and saluted Liu Chuang, then straightened his waist and looked at him from the corner of his eyes.

Hmph, look down on him?You also have to have the capital to look down on it!

Liu Chuang waved his hands again and again, he could see clearly, one master and one servant, neither of them was easy to get along with, they were both full of ghosts.

General Xiao and his father are also old friends. Xiao Yiran's identity will never be remembered in the general's mansion. He entered the palace and became the prince's companion because the palace is dangerous and General Xiao is reluctant to let other sons suffer.

But now it seems that Xiao Yiran is not as mediocre as rumors in the palace.

At such a young age, he knew how to tease him with words, and he also knew how to save face in front of the third prince. It has to be said that he had deep thoughts and knew how to hold back.

If he is really an ordinary person, it is impossible for the third prince to spoil him like this.At any rate, he was also the general who assisted the third prince this time, but Xiao Yiran was able to look directly at his scrutiny without avoiding it, this courage is worthy of praise.

"I didn't expect the third prince's companion to be such a character." Given time, this Xiao Yiran will definitely impress them.

Liu Chuang didn't know why he would give this child such a high evaluation, but he knew that this feeling must be correct.

It was because of Xiao Yiran's actions this time that Liu Chuang decided to have a good talk with his father when he went back. The third prince would definitely be the one who ascended the throne and become the next emperor, he decided.

Yin Tianqi raised his eyebrows, expressing his satisfaction with Liu Chuang's words and the way he looked at him. He knew that he had taken another step towards success, and it was a big step.

Little Lizi drove the carriage to the open space, ran over and saluted Qianer, "Master, dinner is ready, master, please move."

There is nothing good to eat in this wilderness, only the dry food and snacks brought can satisfy the hunger, but Xiao Yiran is very happy to eat, Yin Tianqi is expressionless.

"Master, what kind of official is Liu Chuang's father?" Biting the sweet and soft sweet-scented osmanthus dumpling, Xiao Yiran tilted his head to look at Yin Tianqi, and handed him the teacup in his hand.

"His father is Prime Minister Zuo, and he was only brought up last year." He took a sip from the teacup and swallowed the dry steamed bun in his mouth. Yin Tianqi raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

"I just think he has a lot of gossip." Xiao Yiran patted the crumbs on his hands, looking out through the gaps in the curtains, Liu Chuang was squatting with a group of soldiers, with yellow noodles in one hand and porridge in the other Bowl, snorting to eat.

"It's pretty good at winning people's hearts." The son of Prime Minister Zuo?He has better eyesight than his father, at least he knows where to stand.

"Don't think about those messy things in your little head. Prime Minister Zuo is a neutral faction. He didn't participate in the competition between princes when he was Minister of Industry. If you want to learn from him to win people's hearts, now is a good opportunity."

There was a smile on the corner of Yin Tianqi's mouth. This little guy changed his temper after he left the palace, and he was really unexpected in front of Liu Chuang.He thought the little guy had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yiran snorted disdainfully, "Learn from him? A slave can't learn that hypocrisy. Master, let me tell you the truth, even if you get that position one day, I don't want to be a high official. Just be with you."

This is the most sincere thing he said, if he becomes a high official, he has to stay away from Yin Tianqi, he doesn't like that.

Yin Tianqi was stunned for a moment, watching the expression in his eyes fluctuate, he suddenly realized that there was something about this child whom he had raised and loved for more than three years that he didn't understand.

"You don't want to be an official, so what are you going to do?" Raising his hand to his cheek, rubbing the delicate skin lightly, he asked softly.

doing what?

Xiao Yiran tilted his head, thought about it seriously, and leaned forward involuntarily, letting his cheeks rub against the rough palms of his sword-holding hands due to years of martial arts practice.

"I don't know, I want to stay by Master's side anyway." He didn't want to leave Yin Tianqi, not even for a day.

"If there is a day, I will give you a foreign surname as a prince, and you will be my younger brother anyway." The arc of the corner of his mouth widened, and he stretched out his hand and pulled his thin body into his arms.

Lowering his head and gently biting the tender flesh on the side of his neck with his teeth, Yin Tianqi suddenly felt that his body had undergone some changes...
