Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

"So the Great Zhou Kingdom will face an unprecedented disaster?" Shen Yu'an looked solemn.

"Yes!" Ji Xun's voice was full of worry, "I remember that there was a plague of locusts in Qi Heng eight years ago, which caused a great famine in the whole country, and finally almost emptied the entire treasury of Dazhou to survive the disaster."
After Ji Xun finished speaking, he led the horse and harnessed the carriage: "Let's go to the county right now and ask County Magistrate Sun about the situation in other counties."

"Ah?" Shen Yu'an was stunned for a moment, "This is a matter of the court, how can we ordinary people have the right to intervene?"

"Yes." Ji Xun should be very sure, "My husband will talk to you slowly on the road later."
"Oh." Shen Yuan responded, and when Ji Xun had harnessed the horse, he followed him into the carriage.

The carriage went out of the village all the way, and the roadside was full of villagers who were at a loss. Fortunately, Mrs. Song paid almost 100 taels of silver to each villager in order to seal everyone's mouths. There must be no problem in getting through this disaster year.

On the way to the county seat, everything in sight is a mess, as if the whole world has suddenly become gloomy, which makes people feel heavy.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. The whole country will suffer, and there will be no harvest.

"Yuan, sit here." Ji Xun patted his side, and said to Shen Yuan who was sitting in the carriage looking out in a daze.

"Yeah." Shen Yuan obediently sat in the driving seat.

Ji Xun held the rein with one hand, and tightly held her hand with the other: "Listen to me, but you must promise not to get angry before your husband speaks."

"Of course not." Ji Xunteng pinched her small nose, "When the time is right, I will find a way to restore Yu'an and Afeng's identities. At that time, my husband will go to Daqi as the Night King to propose marriage. you."

Ji Xun didn't want to talk to him, and stood silently aside, Shen Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, and sneered: "Oh? I don't like it? It seems that your adults have taken bribes a lot!
Liu Huwei's expression changed when he heard that, "That's not what I meant~~Hmph, country women can't understand anything, so I'm too lazy to tell you, you two country bumpkins, leave quickly." After speaking, he was going to push Ji Xun, He was slapped by someone.

Ji Xun was silent, and said lightly, "My name is not Ji Xun~~ but the eldest son of Emperor Da Zhou, Night King Wei Chenyi."

Ji Xun continued: "In order to protect me, your father was shot by an arrow. Before he passed away, he gave me your mother's relics and made a marriage between you and me." A concentric knot jade pendant.

Along the way, Ji Xun explained his identity, and Shen Yuan easily accepted it. He was already full of doubts about Ji Xun's identity, so it became clear.

Ji Xun rubbed her head: "Now we have to find a way to see how to help the people survive this disaster, and hope that so many people will not starve to death.

"Yes." Ji Xun nodded, "In the future, if you want to recognize your princess status, it will all depend on this jade pendant."

"Yeah, it seems pretty good." Shen Yuan nodded with a smile.

After returning to the county seat, he went directly to the magistrate's mansion.

Ji Xun said, "Go and report to County Magistrate Sun, I have something urgent to find him."

Shen Yuyan's apricot eyes suddenly widened: the surprise in her heart did not come from Ji Xun's identity, but more from all the sufferings this man had suffered before, living in a cave, drinking gruel, and dragging his festering right leg into the mountain Hunting~~, the man who has suffered so much is actually His Royal Highness the Night King of the Great Zhou Kingdom?
But why? Why did he abandon his prosperity and wealth and live in seclusion in such a countryside to live such a poor life? How did he do it when he was a child? Shen Yuan couldn't help but secretly admire.

"I see." Shen Yuan nodded.

Shen Yuan pouted and said: "Then Ah Xun and I, wouldn't we be able to be a husband and wife?"

"Sorry, Mr. Ji, the county magistrate is discussing important matters with Governor Ding, and I don't have time to see you." The yamen guard blocked them at the door.

The yamen servant knew Ji Xun, so he was about to go in to make an announcement. At this time, someone heard a voice coming from inside, and looked at Ji Xun with slightly raised chin, "Who dares to make noise here?"
The yamen servant hurriedly said with a smile: "My lord, please calm down. You are a friend of the county magistrate."

"Okay. I promise." Shen Yuan nodded.

"Is this my mother's relic?" Shen Yuan held it in his hand, and when he touched the jade pendant, his heart was moved, and he didn't know whether it was from himself or the original owner, or maybe both.

Ji Xun cast a cold glance at Liu Huwei, took out Wei Jinyan's princess jade pendant and handed it to the yamen servant, "Go, show it to the governor of Lingzhou."

"Go away." Inspector Ding greeted him with a nod and bowed his head, and handed the jade pendant to Chao Ji Xun respectfully, "Young Master Ji, please come inside, please come inside."

"Well, Yu Yu is good." Ji Xunrou exaggerated. He felt that there was no need to hide some things. The Great Zhou Kingdom was about to suffer a large-scale plague of locusts. He could no longer hide in the countryside and turn a blind eye. He had to return to the palace to help his father. This is his duty as a royal family.

"It's okay if you don't want to be Yu'an. Don't you want to protect Afeng? Afeng is the prince of Daqi. Sooner or later, he will recover his memory and return to that position."

"But I don't want to be the Princess of Great Qi, I am from Shenjia Village, from the Great Zhou Kingdom."

After a pause, he added: "Of course, before that, I was Ji Xun in Yiri and you were Shen Yuan. Let's do business and farm and live an ordinary life."

Liu Huwei glanced at the jade pendant, and said with a chuckle, "I don't know where the farmer picked up a jade pendant, but how can my adults like this kind of color?"

Ji Xun knew her confusion, and explained: "A defeat a few months ago made me flee to Shenjia Village with scars~~Maybe I couldn't face the defeat~~I chose to live in seclusion." He still hides some things When he got down, he would rather have never had that unbearable past.

"Friend? What kind of friend is so ignorant of the rules? Even though the governor and magistrate Sun are discussing matters inside, how dare you break in?" Seeing Ji Xun's plain clothes, Liu Huwei's eyes were full of contempt.

Ji Xun didn't answer, and looked at Liu Huwei coldly: "Is he a subordinate of Governor Ding?
Ding Wendong didn't know what happened just now, nodded and said: "Yes.'

Ji Xun snorted, "Inspector Ding, your subordinate just said that this jade pendant cannot catch Inspector Ding's eyes, but is it true?"

When Inspector Ding heard this, he kicked Liu Huwei's knee in fright, "Why don't you kneel down quickly, you nonsense thing?"

After kicking Liu Huwei to the ground, Inspector Ding also knelt down, and presented the jade pendant in front of Ji Xun again, "The officials are not strict in disciplining their subordinates, please forgive me, my lord."

Ji Xun snorted, took the jade pendant and pulled Shen Yuan's hand, and entered the yamen lobby with Sun Juling.
