Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Analysis of the Reasons Why the Princess Accompanied

Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Analysis of the Reasons Why the Princess AccompaniedSince ancient times, cities with ports have generally prospered economically. The county

town of Huangyou County is not large in size, but the streets are wide and straight, with many pedestrians and very lively.

Xu Qiyan stood at the dock and looked around. Porters and coolies came and went, sweating. He glanced and locked onto a foreman who was drinking tea in a shed with an account book in his hand. He walked over, pressed his knife with one hand, and looked down at the foreman. The foreman looked at Xu Qiyan and the silver and copper gongs embroidered on the chests of the night watchmen behind him. Even if he didn't recognize the night watchmen's uniforms, the reputation of the night watchmen was well-known to the common people.

Is this the legendary night watchman? The foreman stood up while wondering, nodding and bowing: "My lords, what do you want?"

While speaking, he took out a handful of silver from his pocket and presented it with both hands.

Xu Qi'an didn't look at him and said directly, "Are you the foreman?"

The foreman continued to nod and bow, "Yes."

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly, looked at the busy porters, and asked, "Are there any refugees from the north recently?"

"Refugees?"

The foreman thought for a while and shook his head, "No, but I have heard that there is a war in the north, and the barbarians are burning, killing and looting everywhere. Fortunately, the King of Zhenbei is guarding it, otherwise Chuzhou might have been lost long ago."

"Do you respect the King of Zhenbei?" Xu Qi'an said without any emotional fluctuations. "Of course, the King of Zhenbei is the military god of Dafeng and the number one master of Dafeng. It is because of him that the north can be stable." The foreman showed a look of admiration.

When did the King of Zhenbei become a military god? The military god of Dafeng is obviously Duke Wei... Xu Qi'an left with the silver gong and the bronze gongs.

In the shed, the foreman watched them leave and wondered, "You don't even want the money? Are you mentally ill?"

After wandering around the city for an hour, Xu Qi'an sat in restaurants and brothels, and even took the initiative to chat with beggars. The night watchmen accompanying him realized that Xu Qi'an had another purpose for this trip.

The so-called listening to music in the brothel was just a cover.

"Master Xu, what are you looking for?" asked a silver gong.

"Looking for refugees."

Xu Qi'an stood on the street, holding his knife with one hand, frowning and saying, "There is something strange, I wonder if you have noticed it."

An experienced silver gong thought for a moment and replied:

"No refugees? This is not strange. We have just arrived in Jiangzhou, and it is at least ten days away from Chuzhou. This is the waterway. If we go by land, it will take at least half a month. Refugees may not be able to escape from Chuzhou to here."

Xu Qi'an shook his head, looked at him, and snorted, "Have you forgotten what case we are investigating?"

The four silver gongs were shocked and immediately understood what Xu Qi'an meant. Similar actions to the bloody massacre of three thousand miles usually occur in large battlefields that are protracted and involve a considerable number of troops.

If a war of this scale occurs, it will definitely cause disaster victims everywhere. Even if Jiangzhou is far away from Chuzhou, there may be lucky refugees who have successfully escaped.

But no.....

This case is more complicated than I thought... Xu Qi'an's heart sank, and his emotions inevitably fell into a heavy mood. But he glanced at his colleagues and saw their worried looks. He immediately said "huh" and said slowly in a tone that was extremely arrogant: "It's interesting. This is the case I want to handle. It's boring if it's too simple." Lord Xu has rich experience. Although he has been in office for a short time, he has experienced many storms that others cannot experience in their lifetime... The night watchmen recalled the big cases that Xu Yinluo had experienced, and they were not panicked and calmed down.

Before lunch, Xu Qian'an returned to the official ship with a lunch box and a few uncarved yellow jade.

He first put the yellow jade in the room, then carried the lunch box, went up to the third floor, came to a room in the corner, and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

The slightly irritable but weak voice of the old aunt came from the room.

"It's me."

Xu Qian'an smiled.

After hearing his voice, there was no movement inside, and the door was not opened, as if they were going to deal with it coldly.

"Fu Wenpei, open the door. I know you are at home. If you have the ability to seduce a man, open the door."

Xu Qian'an is a bitch.

"Bang..." S~eaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The door opened, and the old lady in a green maid's dress raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about."

This lecher, talking about seducing men in front of her door, is too much. Although she is just an ordinary maid now, maids also have reputations.

No one heard it... Xu Qian'an said with a chuckle: "You are not Fu Wenpei, why are you angry?"

Seeing the old lady rolled her eyes and wanted to close the door again, Xu Qian'an hurriedly said: "I brought you lunch."

The old lady sneered: "Are you so kind?"

"Looking at your complexion this morning, I knew you didn't sleep well yesterday and were seasick. You must have missed lunch, so I bought you some food."

Xu Qian'an walked into the house by himself and took a look. The house was clean and tidy, and it looked like it was cleaned every day.

Put the food box on the table, open the lid, and lay out the dishes one by one.

The old lady took a few glances and found that they were all dishes she had never seen before. She couldn't help asking: "What is this dish?"

"Liuli, it's quite delicious. It is one of the signature dishes of the best restaurant in Huangyou County. I also bought you other signature dishes." Xu Qian'an said.

"I don't want to eat it."

The old lady said lightly.

She was not feeling well and had no appetite. Besides, she had been spoiled in the palace for so many years. What delicious food had she not eaten? The delicacies that ordinary people

could not afford were just ordinary things to her.

"But you must like this bowl." Xu Qian'an put a bowl of soup on the table.

The old aunt saw that it was black and looked very bad. She frowned in disdain and said, "You

are being nice to me for no reason... What is your purpose? Just tell me."

I was waiting for you to say this... Xu Qianan sat at the table, coughed, and said, "Is your

princess here too?"

Hearing the word "Princess", her eyebrows jumped slightly, and she nodded calmly, "Yes." "Why is the princess in the team? And I, the host, didn't know in advance." Xu Qianan asked

with a smile.

"Do you think I know?" The old lady said unhappily, and seemed unwilling to talk more, urging: "If you have nothing to do, get out of here quickly, I'm going to sleep."

Xu Qianan had to say goodbye and leave.

After the disgusting stinky man left, she closed the door again. She was about to put the food back into the food box, but suddenly she smelled a sour and spicy smell, which seemed to be

an invisible hand that grabbed her stomach.

The smell was emitted from the bowl of soup that looked very bad.

It seemed to taste okay... She sat at the table, scooped a spoonful with a porcelain spoon, and

sipped it lightly.

The sour and spicy taste instantly opened her taste buds and aroused her appetite. She swallowed unconsciously and drank several mouthfuls in a row.

After she finished the soup, she finally felt hungry. When she looked at the food on the table,

it looked tempting.

"Dong Dong."

There was a knock on the door, and then Chu Xianglong's voice came: "It's me."

"The door is not locked, come in yourself." The old lady replied in a cold and calm voice.

Chu Xianglong pushed the door open and saw the princess sitting at the table, eating with

relish.

Deputy General Chu frowned and said in a voice transmission: "What is your relationship with him? Just nod and shake your head."

He knew that these foods were sent by Xu Qian'an just now.

The princess shook her head.

Chu Xianglong's eyes sharpened a little, "It doesn't matter, he brought you lunch?"

The princess still shook her head.

Chu Xianglong stared at her for a moment, reluctantly accepting this answer, feeling that the princess's charm was too great, making men unable to help but approach and understand.

"Please remember your identity, princess, and don't get too close to strangers." He warned her in a voice transmission and left the room.

No sound was made during the whole process.

There were not only Jinluo Yang Yan on the ship, but also other warriors. Warriors have sharp eyes and ears, and the saying that walls have ears is most appropriate.

"Not knowing anything is also a kind of information. I guessed right. It seems that it is not

that simple for the Princess of Zhenbei to go to the northern border.... "She traveled secretly, and even I, the chief officer, didn't know about it in advance. Moreover, the number of guards she brought was abnormal and too few. This can be understood as low-key. Well, traveling with the delegation is both low-key and has sufficient

guards.

"The question is, why is it so?"

Xu Qian'an returned to the room, sat at the table, frowned and thought. "Why is the princess going to the north so mysterious? Is it because the title of the most

beautiful woman in the world is too ostentatious? This is obviously not the case. In Dafeng, who dares to take the idea of Zhenbei Wang's wife? Even I, who have been unrestrained and

free all my life, have never thought about this.

"According to the intention of behavioral analysis, it is that Emperor Yuan Jing does not want the news of the princess leaving Beijing to be widely known. But this is not scientific. A mere princess is going to see her husband. What is there to hide?

"Unless this princess is not simple and involves some secrets? In this case, there are only two

reasons for secretly traveling with the delegation: one, it involves some secret planning, so it

must be kept secret. Two, it may be accompanied by danger, so the power and protection of the delegation are needed?" Thinking of this, Xu Qian'an's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes became sharp.
