Chapter 265 Li Yuheng's Jealousy
Tian Xiaoxiao held Daju in her arms and, following Daju's instructions, blocked the spies who were fleeing together at the Wuliting outside the city, blocking those spies who were fleeing out of the city gate.
The three women and one man saw Tian Xiaoxiao appear out of nowhere and quickly drew their swords.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, do they have much money on them?]
Daju: [The total is about 200 taels of gold. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Two hundred taels of gold is enough for their whole family to have a comfortable life.]
Daju: [The money earned from dealing in fake money is all the hard-earned money of the people of Huadu. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [These people in Huadu are mainly helping Wang Maocai as thugs? ]
Daju: [The women are responsible for seducing minor officials, while the men are responsible for stealing and replacing money in various banks.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The laws of the Mingning Kingdom seem to sentence the family property to be confiscated and the family to be exiled three thousand miles away?]
Daju: [But they are spies. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [That's a capital crime. Take him back and let Nangong Rui judge.]
Daju: [You go ahead, I'll watch.]
Tian Xiaoxiao put Daju down and quickly walked up to the four men. Just as she was about to tie them up, the four men begged for mercy.
"Sir, we were forced to do this. Our families are in the hands of the Lord of Dongchang. If we don't obey, our families will be killed."
"Huh? Your king is so tasteless?" Tian Xiaoxiao stopped.
"By the way, why do you guys in Dongchang always send women out as spies?"
"Reply, reply sir, the king said that women can easily make men let down their guard."
"He knows how to read people's minds."
"Sir, we can hand over all the gold and silver, but please spare our lives."
Several people pretended to take out money.
The four of them exchanged glances the moment they lowered their heads. A woman took advantage of Tian Xiaoxiao's unpreparedness and clamped Tian Xiaoxiao's hands, and the man put a knife to Tian Xiaoxiao's neck.
The four of them laughed triumphantly: "Want to arrest us? You are still too naive."
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, who is more immature, me or them? ]
Daju: [They are not naive, they are frogs in the well. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Well, let them see it for themselves.]
After Tian Xiaoxiao finished chatting with Daju, she returned to Daju and picked him up.
The four men dropped their weapons and fled.
Tian Xiaoxiao's divine bones blocked the four people's way.
"You, how did you do that?"
"Want to know?"
The four heads were pounded like garlic.
"I won't tell you." Tian Xiaoxiao quickly tied up the four people and then went straight back to the inn.
Four of them have fainted. With their skills, they cannot be defeated.
They regretted their impulsiveness, but it was too late.
Tian Xiaoxiao handed the four people over to Nangong Rui, who executed them on the spot without mercy.
Seeing this, Tian Xiaoxiao felt that she was still too kind.
It took six days of overtime to pour the tunnel with concrete.
Nangong Rui has been away from the palace for more than half a month, and it’s time to go back.
Huadu was too far away from Shengjing, and he hesitated about who to let take over.
Looking at the Tian brothers, they were not officials and he was not yet the emperor, so he was in a dilemma.
Nangong Rui had no choice but to promote He Tongzhang, the magistrate of Fengcheng County, to temporarily take charge of the affairs of Huadu. He also set up a stall in front of the government office in Huadu to help people identify counterfeit money.
All counterfeit money found will be confiscated, registered by the Huadu government office, and compensated to the people in equal amounts.
As soon as this decree was issued, the people of Huadu rushed to tell each other.
Nangong Rui's reputation among the people is growing.
The lives of the people in Huadu returned to normal, and Lin Yunzhi returned to Shengjing with his children.
Nangong Rui gained a piece of land and returned to Xijing in a flash.
That morning, when they arrived at the outskirts of Xijing, Nangong Rui ordered several of his men to forget what had happened during this period. If anyone leaked the news and brought disaster upon themselves, he would not let them off easily.
The group returned to the palace.
Li Yuheng was overjoyed and ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes for lunch with Nangong Rui.
More than half a month's worth of government affairs had piled up like a mountain, and Nangong Rui had no time to be affectionate with Li Yuheng. He read the memorials without taking off his clothes, and noticed that there seemed to be unusual movements in Shitou City, so he wanted to go for a walk later.
After quickly handling government affairs, Li Yuheng had the meal brought to the imperial study.
After not seeing each other for half a month, Li Yuheng had become much more charming, but Nangong Rui felt that he did not have too many romantic ideas about the relationship between men and women.
This is very wrong?
After not seeing each other for half a month, Nangong Rui was thinking more about the people. Knowing that he had neglected Li Yuheng, he adjusted his mood and thanked Li Yuheng gently.
"Yuheng, you have worked hard during this period. Let's take a walk around the palace. You have been here for so long, but I have never taken you to visit the imperial city."
Li Yuheng was very happy to hear this.
The dishes on the table were the ones usually prepared by the imperial chef. Nangong Rui had been following Tian Xiaoxiao for some time, and whenever he stayed at the hotel, Ade would definitely cook for him. But when he came back and ate the food prepared by the imperial chef, he felt that it was not as delicious as the one prepared by Ade.
Li Yuheng also noticed the difference in Nangong Rui: "Your Highness, is the food not to your liking?"
Nangong Rui hesitated for a while, and decided to tell the truth: "During this period, I have dealt with a lot of things with Miss Tian, and the meals were cooked by a maid beside her, and the taste was more delicious than the dishes made by the imperial chef.
That maid seems to be very talented in cooking. I have eaten the food from the imperial kitchen for so many years, and I think that maid's cooking skills are still better."
Li Yuheng was surprised: "Can you please allow her to enter the palace and cook for His Highness?"
"I'm afraid it's impossible to invite her. The people around Miss Tian are not something that ordinary people can control."
"Your Highness has high praise for Miss Tian."
Nangong Rui heard the sourness in Li Yuheng’s tone: “Yuheng, you can be at odds with anyone in this country, but don’t embarrass Tian Xiaoxiao.
You know I can't sit on the throne without her.
And you know, without her guidance, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue my kingdom in the future."
"Your Highness, since you value her so much, why don't you welcome her into the palace?" Li Yuheng finally said what he had buried for a long time.
Looking at Li Yuheng with tears streaming down her face, Nangong Rui walked over to her and hugged her.
"I don't have any romantic feelings for her, only respect and admiration." Nangong Rui rarely spoke his true feelings to Li Yuheng.
"But, Your Highness, you don't have any romantic feelings for me! I've been with you for so long, don't you feel Yu Heng's heart?"
Li Yuheng screamed heartbreakingly.
Nangong Rui held Li Yuheng in his arms and flew to the top of the highest mountain in Mingning Kingdom.
Li Yuheng looked at the scenery below his feet, confused.
"Yuheng, this ability was given to her by Tian Xiaoxiao. Tell me, if she wants to take over the world, is it easy?"
"Your Highness, where is this?" Li Yuheng had never seen the scenery before him.
"This is Chunshan, the highest mountain in Mingning Kingdom." Nangong Rui lowered his head gently and explained softly.
"But, weren't we having dinner in the imperial study just now?" Li Yuheng still didn't understand why he was here in an instant. Was he dreaming?
"Yuheng, take a good look at the scenery, and don't close your eyes." Nangong Rui and Li Yuheng stood side by side on the top of the mountain.
The white clouds in the mountains surround the peaks like a white belt, ethereal and mysterious. There are birds singing around and the roar of wild beasts coming from afar.
"Your Highness, the scenery here is truly magnificent." Li Yuheng wanted to say a few more words, so he returned to the imperial study.
It only took the time of a stick of incense.
Li Yuheng was silent.
I have only seen this kind of body skills in books, but I never thought that I would experience such a magical ability in person.
