Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 110

Xiao Rui was originally the governor of Yizhou.

I returned to Beijing to report on my work at the end of last month and will not go there anymore.

According to the intention of the imperial court: rest for two months, marry Princess Xiangcheng after February next year, and then stay in Chang'an City.

After returning to Chang'an City, Xiao Rui wanted to talk to Princess Xiangcheng about the old days, to tell Princess Xiangcheng what he had seen and heard in Yizhou, and express his thoughts about her.

However, they couldn't find anyone, and asked Prince Li Chengqian and others, but they didn't know where Princess Xiangcheng had gone.

Then the day before yesterday, he received a letter from Yizhou, and his brother Xiao Hongcai sent a letter to him in Yizhou, but because he left, he then transferred from Yizhou to Chang'an City.

After reading the letter, Xiao Rui knew that Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan were in Liaozhou City.

Although he didn't know why he was in Liaozhou City, Xiao Rui immediately rushed to Liaozhou City.

Arrived in the afternoon, went to the Royal Trading Company as soon as possible, and then learned that the two of them and Liaozhou Governor Fang Yuan were going to climb Guoyun Mountain.

After learning the specific location, Xiao Rui didn't take a break, and hurried to Guoyun Mountain, wanting to surprise Princess Xiangcheng.

Finally, seeing Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan dancing and sword dancing on the top of the mountain, they were astonished and did not immediately go up to disturb them.

I was thinking of waiting for the two to finish before going forward to surprise them, but I didn't expect the two to walk up to a young man and talk and laugh.

That kind of smile, he had never seen before.

In an instant, all Xiao Rui's excitement disappeared, and all expectations were in vain.

He just stood there, staring at Princess Xiangcheng and the three, to be precise, at Fang Yuan.

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan didn't know that Xiao Rui was coming, they talked and laughed happily with Fang Yuan, and finally went down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, the sun had already set, and when we returned to Liaozhou City, the sky had become dark and there were no pedestrians on the road.

Fang Yuan first sent Du Miaoyan and the two back to the Royal Trading Company, and then rode back to the Governor's Mansion alone on horseback.

But on the way, he was stopped by three people, who were also riding on horses, and the leader was a handsome young man.

"who?"

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

It is less than [-] meters away from the Governor's Mansion.

It would be uncharacteristically stupid for someone to assassinate here.

"Fang Yuan, I want to have a duel with you between men!"

Xiao Rui said in a low voice.

He thought that Princess Xiangcheng had fallen in love with Fang Yuan.

Otherwise, as the princess of Xiangcheng, it is impossible to dance for a man.

As the future son-in-law of Princess Xiangcheng, he only got to see Princess Xiangcheng dance once at a very grand banquet.

"Why?"

Fang Yuan was puzzled, even wanted to laugh.

Suddenly a stranger led someone to block the door and said: Come to a duel between men.

What is this called?

It's so ridiculous.

"You stole my woman!"

Xiao Rui was taken aback for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

He went to Fang Yuan purely because he was jealous of Princess Xiangcheng's kindness to Fang Yuan.

This is the problem of Princess Xiangcheng, but Princess Xiangcheng is a princess, how dare he be presumptuous?

So he blocked Fang Yuan's way, wanted to vent his grievances, and proposed a duel between men.

"It's a joke, do you still want to grab the woman Fang Yuan likes?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

Naturally, Fang Yuan didn't know who the other party was referring to.

This is purely out of self-confidence in invincibility.

"you!"

"Do you dare to come to a duel?"

Xiao Rui was so angry that his face turned black, and he almost jumped into a rage.

The steed that stepped on seemed to feel his anger, walking back and forth.

"Hmph, why don't you dare, how do you want to fight?"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

"One-on-one, sword fight!"

Xiao Rui let out a low cry, and pulled out his sword from his waist.

At the same time, he took the sword from the servant and prepared to throw it to Fang Yuan.

As Xiao Yu's eldest son, he is both civil and military, and he is a very outstanding young man.

"Okay, let's compare swords!"

"But it's dark here, let's go to the front to compare!"

Fang Yuan agreed without hesitation.

With a sound of driving, the steed ran towards Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui turned around subconsciously, and found that the front was indeed much brighter.

There is the gate of the governor's mansion, and there are two big lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate of the governor's mansion.

At this time, Fang Yuan had already passed the three of them on horseback, and galloped towards the governor's mansion.

"wait for me!"

Xiao Rui shouted loudly.

The blade of the sword slapped on the horse's buttocks, chasing after Fang Yuan.

He was ready to fight, and his anger had accumulated to a certain level, and he wanted to fight.

just,

Fang Yuan rode his horse to the gate of the Governor's Mansion without stopping, but turned around and rushed into the Governor's Mansion.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Rui, who was chasing, suddenly felt bad, and subconsciously pulled the horse rope.

"What are you still doing?"

"Didn't you see me being hunted down? Take it down!"

Fang Yuan shouted loudly.

The state officials who were stunned by Fang Yuan's horse riding into the governor suddenly came back to their senses.

Zheng Jiu took the brunt of it, drew out his saber and rushed out, and saw Xiao Rui looking at him with a fierce sword in his hand.

"Where are you bastards, how dare you chase and kill Lord Inspector?"

"Dismount immediately, or kill on the spot!"

Zheng Jiu stopped in front of the three of Xiao Rui, staring at them murderously.

Whenever the three of Xiao Rui wanted to fight or run away, he would do it immediately.

At this time, the state officials from the Governor's Mansion swarmed out, and soon surrounded Xiao Rui and the three of them.

"dismount!"

Huang Da and the others also shouted.

"Fang Yuan, you are cheating!"

"I never thought of chasing and killing you!"

Xiao Rui was furious.

He just wanted to fight Fang Yuan one-on-one.

He never thought about chasing Fang Yuan, after all he knew that Fang Yuan was the governor of Liaozhou.

The consequences of chasing and killing a governor are very serious, even his father is not easy to keep him.

"Holding the sword to kill the official, and saying that it is not a hunt, ask the state officials present if they believe it?"

Fang Yuan walked out with a sneer.

Regardless of whether he is chasing and killing, if he dares to block the road and challenge, he will win first and then talk.

"I just want to compete with you!"

Xiao Rui was startled, and quickly dropped the long sword in his hand.

Zheng Jiu and the others didn't listen to his explanation, and approached slowly, waiting for an opportunity to capture Xiao Rui and the others.

The two attendants brought by Xiao Rui were shocked and stood in front of Xiao Rui, staring at the scene.

Although they are all on horseback, it is convenient to escape, but there are so many officials in the state, they may be injured.

And if he was caught, he wasn't the one who assassinated the governor in the first place, and he probably wouldn't be able to clear up the suspicion.

So they didn't dare to resist, and Xiao Rui didn't give an order. In the end, Zheng Jiu and others snatched them from the horse rope, and they were forcibly pulled to the ground with the blade on their necks.

"Fang Yuan, what do you want?"

"I never thought of killing you, don't you want to wrong me!"

Xiao Rui struggled, staring at Fang Yuan with a ferocious face.

"who are you?"

Fang Yuan walked in front of Xiao Rui.

Under the slightly brighter light, Fang Yuan could see the other party clearly.

He looks like a human being, and his identity can be seen from his clothes, not like a killer.

Although Fang Yuan thought at first that there would be no assassins near the Governor's Mansion, he just felt that.

If you still need to pay attention to the evidence, you still have to be careful, so Ji Xian went back to the Governor's Mansion to control the overall situation.

"Xiao Rui!"

Xiao Rui was furious and drank in a low voice.

He was forced to kneel in front of Fang Yuan, which made him feel extremely humiliated.

He obviously wanted to challenge Fang Yuan to vent his jealousy, but now he is kneeling in front of him.

Such a change made him so angry that he felt a burning sensation in his chest.

"Which kind of love is Xiao Rui?"

"Hit me to death!"

Fang Yuan frowned.

Seriously thinking about who Xiao Rui is in his mind.

I just searched my brain and don't remember knowing this person.

Immediately, he felt that he was being tricked, so he ordered Zheng Jiu and others to greet each other.

"My father is Xiao Yu, and I am the consort of Princess Xiangcheng!"

Seeing that the fist was about to hit, Xiao Rui closed his eyes and yelled.

"Consort?!"

Zheng Jiu's fist was less than one centimeter away from Xiao Rui's face.

But when he heard the word son-in-law, he abruptly stopped his fists, and looked at Fang Yuan nervously.

"You are the son-in-law Xiao Rui?!"

Only then did Fang Yuan think of a person.

In fact, there are too many young people who are famous in Datang.

For a moment, he didn't expect that this Xiao Rui was that Xiao Rui.

"it is me!"

Xiao Rui drank in a low voice and struggled hard again.

The state official who grabbed him was frightened by his identity, lost his grip and was struggled away.

The same is true for the other two attendants, struggling to break free and approach Xiao Rui.

"Who is Princess Xiangcheng?"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

At this moment, a figure appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.

Some guesses are also completely clear at this moment, showing their real bodies.

"Li Wanxiu!"

Royal Chamber of Commerce.

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan return.

After climbing the mountain for half a day, the two were tired and happy.

"Princess, miss, Mr. Xiao came here this afternoon, and I told him that you went to the Yuzi Temple in Guoyun Mountain."

Du Miaoyan's maid came to report.

"what?!"

"Xiao Rui is here?!"

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan were shocked.

There is only one way to go up and down Woyun Mountain.

As long as you have the heart, you can see people waiting on the stone steps.

But the two of them didn't see Xiao Rui all afternoon.

Could it be that Xiao Rui was late, or that he didn't find them when he went to the top of the mountain to look for them.

But after thinking through their minds over the years, they felt that it was impossible, because Woyun Mountain was just that big.

"No way?!"

Finally, the two looked at each other.

Also thinking that Xiao Rui might be looking for Fang Yuan.

Both of them knew Xiao Rui and knew that Xiao Rui was a very jealous person.

If they saw the two on the top of the mountain dancing and dancing swords for Fang Yuan, they would definitely be very angry.

And the result must be to find Fang Yuan for revenge, after all he still dare not ask the princess to make a theory.

"No, no, no."

"If he goes to find Fang Yuan, my identity will be exposed."

Princess Xiangcheng was shocked and ran towards the gate.

She doesn't mind her identity being exposed, but the emperor does.

The emperor also said that the showdown of identity will wait until the next time, to see Fang Yuan's expression.

Isn't this equivalent to the two of them breaking the emperor's plan?

Du Miaoyan also quickly followed, trying to prevent things from happening.

If the emperor found out, it would be even more difficult for Princess Xiangcheng to resist her marriage with Xiao Rui.

The two quickly walked out of the royal firm.

It was already dark at this time, but the moonlight was good.

Looking in the direction of the governor's mansion, their hearts skipped a beat.

Xiao Rui was surrounded by state officials from Governor's Mansion, Fang Yuan was also there.

There may have been conflicts between them, otherwise there would not be so many state officials.

"I'm afraid it will be exposed."

Princess Xiangcheng stomped her feet anxiously, panicking in her heart.

"Go and see first."

Du Miaoyan also thought of this possibility.

But if you don't go, you can't be sure whether you are really exposed.

And if it is not exposed, the two may still be able to stop it.

"You stop!"

Princess Xiangcheng yelled and followed Du Miaoyan's pace.

Although there was obviously no conflict on the other side, she still called her hand to attract the attention of Fang Yuan and others.

Sure enough, Fang Yuan and others stopped talking and looked at Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan.

The two arrived soon, squeezed away the state officials, and came to Fang Yuan and the others.

"male"

Xiao Rui held his breath and prepared to salute Princess Xiangcheng.

But before he finished speaking, Princess Xiangcheng stopped him.

"To shut up!"

"Shut up, too!"

Princess Xiangcheng suddenly stopped Xiao Rui and the others.

Xiao Rui's face changed, and then his whole face sank.

He thought Princess Xiangcheng stopped him because she favored Fang Yuan.

Scolding himself without asking the reason, scolding himself as the future son-in-law must have completely fallen in love with Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan, you are a little governor of Liaozhou, I, Xiao Rui, will never let you go, Princess Xiangcheng can only be mine.

"Fang, Fang Yuan, you didn't talk about anything, did you?"

Princess Xiangcheng didn't notice Xiao Rui's expression, she looked at Fang Yuan nervously.

Du Miaoyan also seemed very nervous, but she was a little more looking forward to it.

Because if Li Wanxiu's princess identity is exposed.

Then there is no need to hide your identity.

"Talk for a while."

Fang Yuan said calmly.

"What did we talk about?"

Princess Xiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging by Fang Yuan's expression facing him, it should be that he still doesn't know his princess status.

Otherwise, there shouldn't be such peace at this moment.

"Minister Fang Yuan, pay my respects to Princess Xiangcheng."

Fang Yuan sighed, stepped back two steps to salute.

Zhang San and the others were also present, and they were all taken aback.

After regaining consciousness, they quickly retreated behind Fang Yuan and saluted together.

"I, I, Fang Yuan, I didn't hide my identity from you on purpose."

Princess Xiangcheng sighed, also a little flustered.

She still cherishes the friendship with Fang Yuan.

But now Fang Yuan found out, before leaving Liaozhou, he might not be able to meet again.

"It's okay, I already know."

Fang Yuan shook his head, saying it's okay.

"Then my dad"

Princess Xiangcheng said awkwardly.

"I guessed it too."

Fang Yuan said truthfully.

"Aren't you surprised?"

Princess Xiangcheng was puzzled.

Fang Yuan was too calm, right?

Du Miaoyan felt the same way, and looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.

"I was surprised at first, but I am not surprised now."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

"You, you already knew?"

Princess Xiangcheng's voice was much louder.

"Known for a while."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, and said truthfully.

Fang Yuan already knew about many privileges and investigations.

"You, you are so bad!"

"I knew it was mediocre."

Princess Xiangcheng scolded with a smile.

Fang Yuan shook his head, smiled without saying a word.

"This is a terrible situation. Father's plan has been ruined."

Princess Xiangcheng soon became melancholy.

Because of her, the emperor's plan fell through.

If the emperor knew it was her, he might blame her, right?
It must be very unhappy that one thing she was looking forward to was disturbed by her.

If the father is not happy, it is probably impossible for her to marry Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui on the side was stunned, he didn't expect that Princess Xiangcheng had hidden her identity, and this incident seemed to be related to the emperor.

Princess Xiangcheng sighed, depressed in her heart, but suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and said with a smirk:
"Fang Yuan, why don't we discuss it?"
