Chapter 59: Saint Girl Does Not Have a Love Brain 28
Mingnan walked out of the alley leisurely and looked around as if nothing had happened.
Yan Xueyi brought a lot of food, and a group of people gathered around her, but they hadn't finished counting it yet.
Mingnan was deeply moved. At that time, Yan Xueyi had just made some money and had just opened her business. All these grains were probably purchased with her money. After this incident, she was afraid that all her family savings had been emptied.
Ruining one's family to relieve difficulties is nothing more than this.
"The county lord."
Yan Xueyi's eyes lit up when she saw her, and she walked over quickly, asking curiously, "Isn't the Crown Prince with you?"
Mingnan: "..."
How come you are so good at grasping the key points?
She smiled and said, "No, he's quite busy."
Yan Xueyi nodded, her eyes fell on her lips, and suddenly focused: "Huh? Why are your lips so red? They seem a little swollen..."
Mingnan: "..."
She felt weak in her heart, and her eyes wandered for a moment, "I was a little angry, there was a wound inside, and I couldn't help biting it, that's it."
"I see." Yan Xueyi said sympathetically, "Don't worry, Princess. We have enough food to last until the disaster relief grain from the imperial court arrives."
Mingnan nodded, "It's all thanks to you this time. I will let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince report your contribution truthfully."
"I don't ask for any credit, I just hope everyone can get through this difficult time."
Yan Xueyi watched everyone unloading food from the car with a distant look in her eyes, recalling the past.
"When I was a child, my hometown was hit by a flood. In an instant, the mountain torrents washed away all the houses. My family and I finally ran to high ground, thinking we had luckily saved our lives. Unexpectedly, there was a plague after the flood. My father, mother, and sister were all infected. They didn't survive. I was the only one in the family who survived."
Mingnan was stunned. He didn't expect Yan Xueyi's life to be so tragic.
Yan Xueyi didn't mean to say more. She looked away and looked at her sincerely, "I don't know how many people I can help by doing this, but even if I can only save one family, it's worth it."
Mingnan was silent for a long time, folded his hands and bowed to her.
"On behalf of the people of the whole city, I would like to thank you for your kindness, young lady."
She raised her head and said solemnly: "Everything the girl has paid for today, I will pay you back double tomorrow."
Yan Xueyi was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay."
She did not refuse. She saw Mingnan's determination and felt a little warm in her heart.
Soon, the prince also came out. He didn't look at Mingnan again, but kept a proper distance. He met the person in charge of counting the food, took a look at the number, and was also surprised.
While directing people to move grain into the granary, he also asked people to carry two bags to the porridge shed and start a fire to cook porridge.
With Yan Xueyi's help, Xuncheng's food crisis was successfully resolved.
Because of proper prevention, the plague in the previous life did not break out on a large scale, and only a small number of people showed fever symptoms.
Mingnan advocated isolating people for treatment, and personally helped to boil medicine and calm the people.
This delayed it for nearly another month.
By the time all the patients recovered, the rainy season was over.
Mingnan and the prince can finally return to the capital.
……
The weather was very good the day they left, with a clear sky, a gentle breeze and just the right amount of sunshine.
The prince rode in a carriage, while Mingnan and Yan Xueyi rode on horses in front and chatted.
The relationship between the two has made rapid progress during this long period of time together, and it seems like they met too late.
At first, the prince was quite jealous, thinking that Yan Xueyi had snatched away their time alone together. Later, when he saw that Mingnan was really happy, he let her be.
She is the happiest person in the world.
Now he can view them being together with a normal attitude.
Weird.
He still feels bad about it.
So he hid in the carriage and tried to avoid seeing it.
However, the carriage stopped not far away.
The prince raised the curtain and looked outside in confusion, "What's going on?"
Mingnan turned back from his horse, with a gleam in his eyes.
"The people are here to see us off."
The prince was startled. He looked forward and saw the common people standing on both sides of the road. When they saw their carriage coming, they knelt down and shouted, "Farewell to the Imperial Envoy. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand years - farewell to the Princess and Miss Yan. May the Princess and Miss Yan live a hundred years, be healthy and happy!"
The blessings came one after another.
The old man and the children couldn't help wiping away their tears, which made people feel sad.
Mingnan's tears point is not very high to begin with, but when he saw such a shocking scene, his eyes couldn't help but become red.
This is the meaning of saving lives.
They never seek any material rewards. Just a sincere thank you from the other party is enough to comfort them after such a long time of fatigue.
Yan Xueyi sighed and choked up, "That's great."
Mingnan patted her shoulder and smiled, "Yes, that's great."
Everything will get better.
……
There is no need to rush on the way back, just walk and take a rest.
That night they rested at the post station. Because Mingnan and Yan Xueyi were women, they were arranged to live in another separate courtyard and not with the prince and his friends.
After Mingnan and Yan Xueyi had dinner together, they asked someone to fetch water for a bath.
She had just come out of the water and put on her clothes after taking a bath when the candle on the table suddenly flickered.
At that moment, an indescribable intuition made her turn her head suddenly. The shadows of the trees were swaying outside the window, and it seemed that there was nothing unusual.
She put on her clothes, calmly picked up the whip hanging on the screen, and walked quietly to the window.
She stood in front of the window, pressed her hand lightly on it, and was about to push it open when a sword suddenly pierced through the window paper and came in!
Mingnan's eyes flashed slightly, and he reacted extremely quickly by turning sideways, and the sword blade just passed by, almost cutting her face.
The next moment, a black shadow broke through the window, and a long sword with a cold glow flew straight towards her head.
"Who sent you?"
Mingnan swung his whip, picked up the oil lamp on the table, and smashed it on the black-clad killer's head.
The black-clad killer dodged and made way for Mingnan, who took the opportunity to flip out of the window in front. When she landed, she was surrounded by several sword lights. Mingnan leaned back to avoid them and pulled out a hairpin with her backhand. Her long hair fell like a waterfall. She stood up with a trembling waist and moved as fast as lightning. The hairpin pierced the throat of the nearest killer. The killer let out two "ho ho" sounds and fell down with his eyes open.
Mingnan took his sword and started fighting with the killer.
"Come here, there's an assassin!"
She yelled and kicked the attacker in the chin. The attacker retreated in pain. Mingnan's eyes turned fierce and he sneered, "Did Xiao Zhe send you here?"
It is his usual style to destroy what he cannot obtain.
The killer's eyes flickered and his movements paused for a moment. Mingnan seized the opportunity and kicked him hard in the chest, sending him flying backwards.
"Mingnan, are you okay?"
Yan Xueyi, who was in the room, ran out immediately after hearing the noise. Seeing this, the killer immediately ran towards her and tried to use her to threaten Mingnan.
Mingnan's face darkened completely, "Disgusting thing, just like your master."
Yan Xueyi's eyes flickered slightly, and she screamed in fear, dodging around the pillars under the corridor. Seeing this, the killers were certain that she did not know how to fight, and immediately surrounded her.
