Chapter 177 Li Cheng, the Merit Box

"Ling Yun, Ling Yun."

Chu Yunxi rushed over to protect "Jun Lingyun"'s arm.

"Xiao Guogong, what exactly did you do to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I just checked the prince's arm, why are you so panicked? I have also watched the prince grow up, so naturally I will not harm him."

After Xiao Guogong said this, he looked at Chu Yunxi with contempt, turned around and left.

He had already seen what he wanted to see, and he didn't want to waste his time with a woman here.

Seeing this, Doctor Wang quickly resigned.

Chu Yunxi stood up, wiped the tears from her face, and calmly watched Xiao Guogong go away.

He is indeed a ruthless old fox. He even dares to take off the prince's arm. If the Xiao family is not eliminated, she and Jun Lingyun will never have peace.

Chu Yunxi turned around and looked sympathetically at the innocent victim.

"Give him some antidote quickly and wake him up."

"Yes, the Crown Princess is still wise. If she hadn't used the drug, it would be difficult for Xiao Guogong to remain motionless."

Doctor Zhang gave the substitute an antidote and removed several silver needles from the acupuncture points on the soles of his feet to restore smooth flow of Qi and blood.

The princess was right, Duke Xiao was too conceited and would ignore many details.

After a while, the substitute woke up leisurely, got up, and groaned.

He rubbed his aching shoulder. What's going on? But after a good sleep, why does his shoulder hurt so much?

Unfortunately, no one told him the truth. Chu Yunxi and Doctor Zhang tacitly kept silent.

If he were told that in his sleep, Duke Xiao took off his arm and put it back on again, I'm afraid the feeling wouldn't be that wonderful. Being confused is a blessing.

"I've worked hard for you today. You should be able to relax in the next few days." Chu Yunxi comforted her.

The stand-in clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates don't dare to say how hard it is. It's the master and the princess who are doing the hard work."

Yes, Jun Lingyun worked hard, and I don’t know where he is now or what his condition is. Missing him is like a flood, pouring into Chu Yunxi’s heart, overflowing in her heart.

A group of people who were on their way stopped when they saw the city ahead.

"Master, Li City is ahead, do we want to enter the city?"

The accompanying Bai Xiao reminded.

Jun Lingyun shook his head, "Detour!"

Things have priorities, and he cannot let anything hold him back now. He must rush to Nanyan Kingdom as soon as possible to resolve the current crisis in Yunxiao Kingdom.

It won't be too late to wait until he comes back and slowly deal with Jun Hongyan.

Several people dressed as merchants were riding horses and preparing to detour from the west of the city.

However, they discovered that a roadblock had been set up in the west of the city. The guards were still dressed as officials.

"Who are you, why don't you get off your horse and get checked?"

The little official in charge noticed them with sharp eyes and shouted from a distance to tell them to dismount.

Bai Xiao looked at Jun Lingyun, waiting for instructions. If the master said to rush through, they would not be polite.

But Jun Lingyun really got off his horse. Bai Xiao had no choice but to step forward and deal with the low-ranking official.

"We are businessmen and we are going to the south to sell goods. I hope the official can make it easier for us."

The officer pointed to the wooden box next to him with the hilt of his sword. There were three big characters on the wooden box.

The official pointed it out to Jun Lingyun and others word by word.

"Did you see the merit, virtue, box? Our Licheng has suffered a disaster, and everyone in the world knows about it, right? Since we have to pass the realm of our Licheng, then contribute some strength to our Licheng."

Jun Lingyun frowned. If Jun Hongyan followed the imperial edict and investigated and punished those corrupt officials, the money recovered would be enough to resettle the victims of the disaster in Li City.

It seems that Jun Hongyan is like a dog who can't change his habit of eating shit, and can't get mud on the wall. He actually doesn't have a long memory at all.

"We didn't know that there were such rules. What if we can't contribute?"

Bai Xiao asked back.

The officer smiled mockingly.

"A businessman who can't even get out a few taels of silver? Are you so easy to deceive?"

He returned to his seat, crossed his legs, and pointed to the west proudly.

"Further to the west, there is Qingfeng Mountain, which towers into the clouds. If you have the ability, you can climb over the mountain."

He pointed far east again.

"Go east, past the entire boundary of Licheng, and there is a moat. You can swim across it, please."

Bai Xiao clenched his fists, forcing himself to be calm and not to act impulsively and kick away this dirty villain with a face that didn't deserve a beating.

"How are you different from robbers? You are not a liar who takes advantage of the situation, are you?"

The junior official actually laughed and patted his official uniform.

"Did you see that, if it's true, if you have any objections, why not go through the city gate and enter the city to argue with King An?"

He slapped his forehead.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to remind you that if you still have the life to leave the city after finishing the theory, there will be a merit box waiting for you when you leave the city."

This little official acted like I was only thinking about you.

"On our road, there is only one roadblock. How do you guys think? Do you want to pass by us?"

If he hadn't seen these people as extraordinary and like fat sheep, he wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense to them and let them run into the wall on their own. Naturally, he would know that the world is dangerous.

Jun Lingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Give it to him!"

Bai Xiao angrily took out a couple of silver coins and threw them out.

The officer caught it with a crooked smile, "I think among you, this one is the best."

Bai Xiao almost drew his sword and cut off the man's hand pointing at Jun Lingyun. He turned all his anger into a roar.

“I’ve collected all the money, but you still haven’t removed the roadblock!”

"It's easy to say, easy to say, but one tael of silver can only pass one person. There are one, two, three, four, five or six of you in total. Who wants to pass?"

After the official counted the number of people, he asked with a wicked smile. One tael was already given, so it doesn't matter if a few more taels are given, right?

Bai Xiao asked Jun Lingyun with his eyes if he wanted to take action.

Jun Lingyun uttered two words again: "Give it to him."

Now what he gives out, they have to spit it out with profit when they come back. Why increase the risk of exposing themselves under Jun Hongyan's nose.

Bai Xiao took out another five taels of silver and threw it directly into the face of the young official. Fortunately, he took his identity into consideration and did not use his inner strength.

The official took a step back and happily caught the money. He was really a fat sheep.

"Quickly, remove the roadblock for others, don't delay the journey."

Jun Lingyun and others got on their horses, passed the roadblock, and prepared to continue on their way.

The officer shouted from behind.

"Guys, when you come back, please remember to take this road. The service here is good and the children are not bullied."

The white owl approaches Jun Lingyun with his horse.

"Master, it won't take much effort to deal with these little Luo Luo. How about you take a short rest and come back as soon as you go?"

Jun Lingyun didn't even look back.

"When we return, I'll leave that person to you."

Such people are just using chicken feathers as arrows. It is hateful to help the tyrants do evil, but if the root cause is not eliminated, what is the use of removing more details?

After he solves the troubles in Nan Yan Kingdom, he will send Jun Hongyan to see his mother and concubine.

Bai Xiao finally felt more comfortable.

"Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the next city before dark."

Fortunately, the weather was fine and they could sleep outdoors, but the wilderness was prone to wild wolves.
