Chapter 62 I'm back!

"Okay, you can go back, remember what I said, these few days you must treat Princess Mengdie as a future mistress, and everyone will be good sisters in the future?" Qin Anan faced several beauties Said.

"Yes, Concubine" After this period of time and Ji Lingchen's warning last time, the beauties now know very well the status of Concubine Wang in the Jing Palace. If they want to stand out, they must bow their heads like her. A princess born as a girl is easy to deal with. If a concubine with a close relationship becomes a princess, then there is really no room for turning around. At this time, everyone must unite and beat the foreign enemies away before dealing with internal troubles.

Nagulas Jingjing looked at Qin An'an handling things decently, and smiled with relief. Originally, his mother and concubine and himself were worried that she would not be able to cope with these things, but now it seems that everyone has underestimated this younger brother and sister.

At this time, Ji Lingchen, who was still in the bandit's den, couldn't help letting out a series of hearty laughter: "I have a child, I have a child, An Yi, did you see, the second brother said I have a child , An An is pregnant!"

An Yi looked at the man in front of him with a bit of distaste who was smiling brightly and a bit too much, and he firmly didn't want to admit that this was his own wise and powerful God of War, the only one on the battlefield.

"An'an has been pregnant for almost two months, and this king is still outside. It's damned that I can't stay by her side. No, this king must go back as soon as possible." Ji Lingchen remembered that he couldn't go back, and suddenly felt a little depressed. It is a canine animal that cannot be caressed by its owner. It shrugs its head and looks disappointed.

As long as he thinks of An An pregnant with a child, Ji Lingchen can't wait to turn into a flying eagle and fly to that man's forehead immediately, not caring about other things.

I also thought that An An was pregnant and had to deal with Baili Mengdie and the royal family, and she was full of hostility. She didn't know what Princess Mengdie looked like, but she dared to challenge An An and insisted on marrying her. To myself, my brain was really kicked by a donkey. It seems that the border is too peaceful. The people of Meng have already forgotten what it is like to be defeated.

Ji Lingchen wondered secretly if he should write a letter to Meng Zhi at the border, asking him to find something for the Monarch of Meng.

Looking at Ji Lingchen over there for a while, smiling sweetly for a while, the whole person was so gloomy that he seemed to be able to freeze the surrounding air, and silently moved away from Ji Lingchen, thinking that now it should be what the princess often said was sick and needed to eat When I was taking medicine, hey, life was a lot more boring if I wasn’t with the princess. No wonder the prince was so unhappy. I kind of wanted to be with the princess. Well, that’s how it was. , The girl who often makes mistakes!
A prince who was stimulated no longer wanted to deal with these boring officials anymore. At this time, all brotherly love and sympathy were forgotten, and he no longer worried that his behavior would affect Yu Mingcheng, and no longer listened to him. His slow plan was to take An Yi directly, without saying hello to anyone, and directly killed Jinling City, which had already been sealed off. Unexpectedly, such a move would destroy that person's plan, and he received unexpected results. This is the aftermath. That's it.

Directly found an acquaintance in Jinling City - the newly appointed supervisory censor Jiawen, took out the token given by the emperor as if I had come in person, subdued this person, and brought the tiger charm, and secretly mobilized two small teams of city guards. Jia Wen took it to check the so-called palace that had caused countless harms.

The palace is built at the foot of the mountain, it is a very quiet and unique place, but it is not too far from Jinling City, a straight and wide official road goes there, and it takes more than an hour to ride a horse.Because it is rumored that the emperor will visit here this year, the palace has been largely repaired, and only the details are waiting for decoration.Everyone dismounted in front of the palace, only to see a few servants cleaning outside the gate.

The three went ahead alone, and sneaked into the palace with light work. The courtyard was quiet except for a few servants, but there were no other suspicious signs, but it was hard to say how many people were hiding in the dark. After closing the door, Jia Wen surrounded Ji Lingchen.

"General, what's your plan?" Because Jiawen had fought with Ji Lingchen in the military camp before, he admired him very much and preferred to call him General, "I have just been in office for less than half a month, and I have nothing to do when I come here. I’m not familiar with it, and they seem to be on guard against me, and many places are deliberately avoided.”

Ji Lingchen said: "Anyi guides the people outside the door away first, we two will work separately, there is a hidden tunnel here, we must find the entrance."

An Yi flashed out and deliberately made noises to attract the guards in the dark to fight, attracting more attention.

Taking advantage of the chaos outside, Ji Lingchen and Jiawen sneaked into the inner courtyard.

"General, you, you have never been here before, how did you find the way?" Looking at Ji Lingchen's familiarity, Jiawen wondered if Ji Lingchen had been here before.

Ji Lingchen picked up a stick and dug along the corners of the wall, saying, "Since this is a palace, it must have been imitated from the inner palace of the capital, and the layout is naturally similar."

Jiawen suddenly realized, and gave a thumbs up: "The general is really clever!"

Ji Lingchen was noncommittal, and the two split up to search in this vicinity.

Not long after, Ji Lingchen stopped by a well. He squatted down and stroked the pattern on the edge of the well, and threw another stone in. The well seemed to be very deep, and he hadn't heard the sound of falling water for a long time, but he hooked it with satisfaction. The corner of his lips curled up: "I found it."

Jiawen leaned over to take a closer look, and could see the faint light emanating from the depths of the well. When a stone was thrown down, there was no sound at all. If there was really water, this would naturally not happen.The two tied one end of the hemp rope to the trunk of the old tree beside the well, pulled it firmly, and went down into the secret passage together.

The well was very deep, and it seemed that a stick of incense was almost burned before the two stepped on the ground.Both feet landed on the soft and wet mud, mixed with the sound of astringent leaves, and at the same time a rotten smell came to the nostrils.

Xu opened his eyes, and saw that there was a hole in the small well, the bottom of the well was wide and deep, and the length and width of the place where they stood was nearly ten feet.She looked up and saw that the mouth of the well had turned into a round hole the size of a porcelain bowl, and white light the size of a pinpoint came in, just shining on her toes.

The two cautiously walked deeper into the well. As they walked, they found that the rock walls on both sides were narrower. After walking for about a stick of incense, they reached the exit of the gap where only one person could pass sideways.Just at this time, there was a clearly audible knocking sound from the gap.

Ding ding, thump, thump...

Someone is digging something, and the sound of hammer and shovel can be heard everywhere.Ji Lingchen leaned his back against the rock wall, slightly showing half of his cheek, watching every move of that side.

Behind the gap is another open area, about a dozen coolies are digging tunnels, their clothes are so ragged that they can’t even cover their bodies, their feet are shackled, and their faces are so pale that they are almost sickly. It seems that they have been locked here for a long time.There are two strong men in blue trousers standing guard next to them, with long whips attached to their waists, and they will go up and whip a whip when they see someone who moves slowly.

"Stop dawdling! Hurry up!"

The backs of a group of coolies were covered with welts, with new and old wounds intertwined.They must have been used to beating, and had long since lost the confidence and ability to resist. They silently endured these tortures without even making a sound.

Ji Lingchen made a gesture, and he and Jiawen walked around behind the two guards separately, with a force on their wrists, they wrapped their arms around the guard's neck, binding him tightly like a rope.The two guards were quickly subdued.

The people present were stunned by this sudden change, and the man who delivered the food also looked at them in surprise.

Ji Lingchen gave Jiawen a wink, and Jiawen took out his supervisory censor token: "I am the newly appointed supervisory censor, and I came here to save you."

Everyone reacted immediately, and the coolies swarmed up, punching and kicking the two domineering guards until they were beaten so badly that they almost died.

When everyone was tired from beating, Ji Lingchen asked Jiawen to lead the coolies who had been imprisoned for a long time through the cracks in the wall, climb out from the wellhead along the rope, and said that there would be someone outside to respond.Everyone lined up one by one, walking very fast, and no one dared to make a slight movement when they were fleeing for their lives.

Ji Lingchen handed over the outside affairs to Jiawen, ordered the city guards to take down all the people around the palace, and went to the bottom of the well in darkness.

The two of them drilled left and right at the bottom of the well, and came to a hidden excavation point. Ji Lingchen picked out some soil, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, a strong and pungent residual smell, which he had smelled on alchemists. been.

Ji Lingchen got up "teng" and ran to the secret passage to grab the person in charge of the palace who had already been tied up. He asked in a sharp tone, "What's the purpose of building the underground palace!"

The man was terrified when he saw the failure of the matter. Seeing his anxious expression and red eye sockets, he was afraid that he would be the first to be operated on. It is said that there are floods in the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, and the palace was built at the foot of the mountain. The government was worried that the mountain torrent would wash down the palace, so they built channels underground to dredge the water flow. I don’t know anything else.

Seeing that Ji Lingchen's expression was different from his usual calm expression, Jiawen couldn't help wondering: "General, what's wrong?"

"I thought this was just a place where local officials put it in the tunnels to build a palace and squeeze the local people, but I found that this is not the case! Several tunnels are narrow and long, and the mud is piled up by the mountain torrents. How can they be dredged? Besides, the government built You can be upright, why imprison workers and live in filth, and even dare not publicize the epidemic... Isn't this trying to cover up? In addition, I smell a strong smell of gunpowder in the poorly ventilated tunnel..."

"Gunpowder?!" Jiawen turned pale with shock, this group of people was so bold.

Ji Lingchen didn't have time to explain, so he ordered Jiawen to take the people out of the palace and take them directly to the Jinling City Sheriff's mansion: "Governor Liang, you can be convicted!"

……

After taking down the sheriff and some important officials, taking control of Jinling City into his hands, Ji Lingchen arranged for all the surrounding doctors to gather in Jinling City to discuss the solution to the plague. Fortunately, it was discovered early and dealt with promptly, and the plague was quickly brought under control. .

Ji Lingchen left a letter to Yu Mingcheng, and left Anyi to assist Jiawen in dealing with the follow-up matters. He greeted the people who had fallen into bandits in Tiger Mountain, and went back to the capital alone, shouting in his heart: "An'an, wait Me, I'm back."
