Chapter 252

The prince asked Bai Xian to meet him. Unexpectedly, he was stabbed by King an and broke into the room. But to king an's surprise, it turned out that his eldest brother didn't meet important officials in the court, but a beautiful woman dressed as a man.

Looking at this gorgeous role and slim figure that can't be covered up even with a man's bun and ordinary cloth clothes, king an envies the crown prince. I really don't know how such a beauty can take a fancy to the crown prince.

King an gave the prince a look that he fully understood, and then joked: "I'd better go first. The spring is bitter and short, so I won't disturb you two to get together." as long as the prince is not courting the courtiers, king an is relieved.

The prince watched king an go downstairs and then closed the door. Looking at the white immortal who showed his true face, he sighed leisurely: "it's all my fault. I didn't restrain the people in the house and let you show your true face in front of king an, but don't worry. Although King an has a deep mind, he is not a lecherous person."

It turned out that the beauty waiting for he Jincheng in the room was Bai Xian who took off her mask. At that time, seeing that the two people were going to come in, Bai Xian had nowhere to hide, so she had to tear off the human skin mask on her face and put it in her arms. She simply had a good face. Although she was not extremely beautiful, she was also top-notch in Luo, where there were many beauties. Even if she wore men's clothes, she could see that she was a woman at a glance.

In this way, Bai Xian was relieved. Anyway, she didn't have to live a real life on weekdays. It was better to solve the immediate crisis first. She sat down slowly and took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for the prince and herself: "Your Highness, it's all right. Anyway, I live with a mask in Luodu. Suddenly let me take off the mask. I still have a bit of discomfort."

The prince looked at the white fairy who looked particularly beautiful under the candlelight, and couldn't help asking the question buried in his heart for a long time: "I always forgot to ask you before. Why did you wear a mask?"

Thinking of Bai's mother's painstaking efforts to persuade herself to wear a mask and cover up her true face in case she was found to be the identity of Bai's blood, Bai Xian smiled and casually pulled a reason: "when she left erlipu, my mother took me and Xiaoxiu, so she asked me to wear a mask to cover up my face for fear of danger."

He Jincheng thought so before, so he didn't ask much. The time was urgent. He directly talked about business: "Bai Xian, you told me that you must see you before leaving. Did you find any important problems to tell me?"

Bai Xian nodded. In fact, she had seen many stories of ancient disaster relief not only in books, but also in TV dramas. Even if the emperor sent a crown prince with high status to disaster relief, it was inevitable that officials at all levels would exploit each other and protect each other.

Of course, she can't directly tell the officials that they will detain part of the grain. She can only beat around the Bush and make the prince a little wary, so as not to let those corrupt officials succeed.

"Your Highness, Bai Xian knows that you went to the disaster relief for the sake of the people, and the officials of Dayin are basically good officials, but there are still some bad people..."

Before Bai Xian finished, prince he Jincheng replied excitedly, "if I find out who dares to exploit disaster relief food, I will write memorials to my father and make them a capital crime."

He Jincheng was so resolute that Bai Xian didn't know how to persuade them. She also hated these corrupt officials. However, on the one hand, the crown prince's vigorous punishment of corrupt officials may cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. On the other hand, she didn't know how serious the disaster in the South was. The specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail.

Corrupt officials must be arrested, but whether to kill them directly or let them go temporarily may lead to two completely different results.

Bai Xian waited until the anger on he Jincheng's face calmed down a little, and then said quietly, "I hate corrupt officials as much as the crown prince, but the crown prince, you should remember that the emperor sent you to disaster relief, but he didn't send you to catch corrupt officials. Besides, if you blindly catch corrupt officials, it will certainly lead to a shortage of manpower, so no one will do the disaster relief."

He Jincheng drank a mouthful of herbal tea before he put out some of his anger. He always works only for the people and is never afraid of provoking criticism from others or even punishment from the emperor. This is also the reason why some important officials of the imperial court appreciate him.

"What do you say to do? Do you watch them move all the food for disaster relief to their own private storehouse?"

Bai Xian solemnly shook his head: "it's not good to let go of all. Your Highness the prince might as well catch two corrupt officials and directly behead them, make an example, and let the rest know your bottom line, so that not many people dare to embezzle food."

Although he Jincheng was very reluctant, he finally agreed to Bai Xian's proposal. Time was tight. Bai Xian told him all his previous strategies, and then put on his mask and left the Huibin building.

LV Ying, who was left by Shao Yue in Luodu to protect Bai Xian, naturally hid around Bai Xian and protected her safety. Naturally, she knew her date with the crown prince today and that Bai Xian showed her true face and was seen by King an.

Shao Yue had agreed with LV Ying that the information about Bai Xian would be reported every three days before he went out to suppress the bandits. Therefore, when he wrote the secret letter in the evening, Shao Yue also wrote today's story into the secret letter. However, it was seven days later when Shao Yue was furious when he saw the secret letter.

Since he came to the periphery of the Qinling Mountains and stationed there, Shao Yue sent many people to collect information. The village that was smashed and robbed by the mountain bandits led by Liu Qingyang has become a piece of ruins, and the weapon fragments and corpses scattered all over the path in the village make all soldiers hate the mountain bandits.

Only Shao Yue still firmly believed what he thought. Liu Qingyang he knew was a man who was willing to give steamed bread to beggars without food even if he had only half a piece of steamed bread. Such a kind man would never do such an outrageous thing.

When he first set up camp, he sent Mu Er to Liu Qingyang's stronghold to send a letter. The letter was written by a secret language that only Shao Yue and Liu Qingyang understood. However, Mu er said after sending the letter that Liu Qingyang only thought for a while after seeing the letter, and let Mu er come back without saying anything else.

When Shao Yue wrote again to send Mu Er to the stronghold, the stronghold had opened the mechanism and no one was allowed to enter.

Hearing Mu er's reply, Shao Yue's intuition is that Liu Qingyang has noticed that there is someone else's traitor in the stronghold, so Liu Qingyang doesn't dare to deliver the news at will, and doesn't want Mu Er to die again.

Because the army hasn't arrived yet, Shao Yue still has an excuse not to send troops to attack the stronghold for the time being, but the army will arrive here in two days. At that time, he will have no excuse not to send troops.

Although Liu Qingyang once mentioned to him that the stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in Shaoyue's view, the regular shaojiajun, whose number is almost twice that of the miscellaneous soldiers of the stronghold, can certainly defeat the mechanism of the stronghold. At that time, Liu Qingyang must be dead.

Feng Liu came in with food and saw Shao Yue who was worried about the sand table. He respectfully said, "general, you'd better use some food."

Worried that Liu Qingyang could not escape the punishment of the imperial court, Shao Yue had no appetite for breakfast and lunch today. Feng Liu put down the tray and took out the secret letter from his arms. This is a letter written by his eldest brother in Luodu. They all know that the secret letter is Bai Xian's information, because Shao Yue is in a better mood every time he sees these letters.

Shao Yue opens the secret letter in a low mood. Feng Liu happily looks at Shao Yue and thinks that the general can finally feel better and eat something. He sees Shao Yue slapping the table and angrily walking out of the camp.

The terrain here in Qinling Mountains is much higher than that in Luodu. The moon hanging on the sky at night should be a little bigger. As soon as Shao Yue went outside, he was excited by the cold air outside the camp, and the whole person instantly calmed down.

Feng Liuzheng followed him carefully. Seeing Shao Yue, he thought something had happened to Luo Du and hurriedly asked, "general, what's the matter with you?"

Shao Yue shook his head. His eyes were still staring at the moon. He didn't intend to answer Feng Liu's question at all.
