C81 High Casualties of Successive Disasters

Meng Zixian, who had been trapped by the seasickness all this time, almost laughed out loud after watching this play.

Normally, Duke Huai An's fingers wouldn't be touched by the spring water, so how could he eat anything that was made? When it was served, he looked extremely unsightly, and his appetite was gone.

"Duke Huai An, let's eat together." This Duke Huai An didn't want to eat it at first, but Jing Wang personally laid out the chopsticks and sat down with an ugly expression. After taking two bites, he almost vomited.

Gu Jing Cheng and Song Que sat in a friendly manner. As they ate, they praised, "Duke Huai An must have cooked quite a lot. This taste is really not bad."

Meng Zi stood aside and silently vomited.

"Duke Huai An, this duke has traveled a long and arduous journey, so shouldn't you invite us to take a seat?"

Duke Huai An really couldn't take it anymore. The food was delicious, so when Gu Jing Cheng stepped down, he quickly went up and said, "That's right."

"Alright, let's get on the boat and get to the shore." Gu Jingcheng instructed the people around him.

The boat slowly moved closer to the shore. Gu Jing Cheng stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the people who surrounded the shore.

"This time, this king has received orders from the emperor to come and exterminate the bandits. I hope that you can participate in it. For the better development of the place!"

The commoners knew that it was better to have milk than to have a mother. Upon hearing the benefits, they hurriedly agreed.

It was also because Duke Huai An's rule was strict that caused the citizens to be unable to breathe. Some of them also wished for someone to come and take control of the situation.

The crowd was packed, but they all opened up a path. Meng Zixian was walking behind Song Qi River pretending to be a servant.

If they had gone ashore recklessly just now, the outcome would have been different. The commoners were all excited at that time, and there was no telling what they might have done.

Originally, it was quite harmonious. However, all of a sudden, there was an explosion.

Meng Zixian was startled. It happened near the Gu Jing City on the Qi River, causing the people to panic.

Screams, cries, and curses mixed together. Meng Zixian was like a floating object on the sea, being pushed around.

Bai Lan Xin was pushed to an unknown place. Meng Zi Xian's legs became unsteady and she almost fell to the ground, but she was stopped by a hand.

She wasn't very tall, and the crowd moved around her, not even allowing them to see who was pulling her hand.

Explosions followed one after another, and stampede occurred. Many people died not from bombs, but from people's feet.

Meng Zixian came back to his senses and saw Song Qishen beside him. It seemed that she was pulled by Song Qishen.

At this moment, the commoners finally calmed down. There were many corpses on the ground, some bereaved of their loved ones holding onto the corpses and wailing.

For a moment, sorrow filled the field.

"Don't panic! "You lead a group of people to kill them. You lead a group of people to immediately investigate exactly what happened …" Although Gu Jing Cheng looked to be in a sorry state, he quickly calmed down and immediately issued an order.

Bai Lan Xin's white clothes were completely black. It was unknown where he came from, but he obediently stood next to Meng Zixian.

Meng Zixian looked left and right, but didn't see Yang Chunzi. All of a sudden, she had a bad idea.

Bai Lan Xin walked in front of her, expressionless, and took out a small cloth bag.

"What is this?"

"Yang Chunzi, it's for Sis Meng."

Meng Zixian took it and opened it. Inside was a letter of farewell. It didn't say where it had gone, or any other news. It only said that they would see each other again if fate told them otherwise.

She was a little stuffy. Such a huge matter had happened and he had already run away. It was too unreasonable!

Gu Jingcheng and Song Qishen personally took care of the injured citizens. At this moment, they somehow gained the hearts of the people. Meng Zixian couldn't stay idle either. She followed them and saw the situation.

This time, the casualties were a bit too great. Because of the dense crowd of people, over a hundred people had died and over a hundred people had been injured. The situation was extremely miserable.

Gu Jing City and Song Que had finally settled the wounded and wounded down and went to the residence arranged by Duke Huai An.

Gu Jingcheng heavily slammed the table: "Damn it, you're actually using the commoners and trying to kill us, but you're even hurting the commoners!"

Song Que frowned and thought: "I feel like, it doesn't feel like he planted a bomb."

"What do you think?"

Song Que thought about it and said, "When it happened, I saw Duke Huai An. His face was also full of panic, and when he reacted, he quickly ran away."

"Aren't you afraid that it was done on purpose?"

"I believe that when a person is in danger, he or she will reveal his or her true self. "Jiangning is subordinate to the Qi King."

The Qi King assisted the late emperor in his rise to the throne. For many years, he used military exploits to gain a position as a prince. The reason why the feudal emperor arranged the feudal fiefdom to be so remote was also because he was worried that the late emperor would overpower him.

What he was worried about was not empty air. As time passed, the Qi King gradually grew stronger. Gu Jingyuan had never been on guard either. This was a huge problem.

"Check."

Song Que nodded and went out to make arrangements.

Meng Zixian didn't like to listen to politics, and didn't want to get to know too much. She spent her days walking around leisurely around the mansion, doing nothing.

Song Que saw that she was really bored and scolded: "If you are really bored, then as long as you don't cause trouble, then go outside. Don't wander around in front of me everyday!"

Meng Zixian felt wronged and could only leave after being badly hurt for a while.

This was Jiangning, a place where farmers suppressed their businesses. Once, merchants were rich, but they were oppressed by the law to the point where they couldn't turn their backs on others.

This was Jiang, Bai Lan, Yang, and Huang Clan. When Meng Zixian heard the two words' Bai Lan ', she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Bai Lan Xin.

She asked with doubt, "Lil 'Xin, is your home here?"

Bai Lanxin's face was still the same, unaffected. "Sister Meng, I'm an orphan, without a home."

Meng Zixian frowned. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

This time, Gu Jing Cheng and Song Que had come to establish a business market so that they could communicate with the business of the capital. This meant that the day of the rise of these merchants had arrived.

"There's a feast tonight." Gu Jing Cheng told her the news.

Meng Zixian and Bai Lanxin disguised themselves as attendants as they followed Song Que to the White Orchid Manor.

All these years, because the Bai Lan Residence had been suppressed, they had suffered great losses. In addition, there were only a few disciples in the family, and the people in charge were all elderly people. It was the setting sun.

Meng Zixian obediently followed behind Song Que. After they sat down, she looked up and saw everyone.

This time, the ones invited were the four great families, as well as Duke Huai An, and the Bai Lan family.

Meng Zixian was bored. She looked around and found a pair of familiar eyes.

That person's eyes were very similar to Yang Chunzi's, and even their expressions were very similar. Coincidentally, their eyes met, and that person smiled at Meng Zixian.

Meng Zixian's heart was filled with shock. She could guarantee that it was definitely Yang Chunzi!

The Yang family. Could it be that Yang Chunzi is a descendant of the Yang family?

But didn't they say that they were people from the martial arts world?

Meng Zixian was full of questions, but no one answered.

Meng Zixian was neither interested nor fond of Meng Zixian, but instead, she sat on the table and toasted each other with a fake smile on her face.
