Cang Xiuxuan's attitude towards King Heng determines Song Chen's next actions.
When necessary, she may need Cang Xiuxuan's help.
With her current strength, she cannot defeat a prince.
No matter how stupid he behaves, his identity is there and his years of accumulation are there.
If she had come two years earlier, maybe she wouldn't have worried about this problem.
After deciding to do this, Song Chen must make complete preparations.
The business of the Shiwei Pavilion in the town is still booming during this period, and Piaoxiang Tower has long been unable to withstand the pressure, but shopkeeper Dong is still holding on, hoping to wait until the noble man Song Qingyun mentioned can help him.
However, he has kept a low profile during this period.
The same is true for Song Qingyun. King Heng has encountered so many troubles. It is impossible to know based on his identity, but he is relatively keen and can feel the difference.
Most people stay at Dong's house and don't go out.
The beggars and people around them who previously helped the Shiwei Pavilion no longer need to make a living by begging, and most of them have become people that the Shiwei Pavilion can use.
Song Chen came to town this time just to find them.
"Miss Song, if there is something we haven't done well enough, tell us, we must change it..."
Several people stood in front of Song Chen, looking very anxious.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not looking for you because of this. I need your help."
Some things are too late now, but you can prepare for the future.
A few people didn't expect that they could still help Song Chen, so they all nodded hurriedly.
"Miss Song, if you have anything to do, just ask. As long as we can do something, we will definitely help you. You are our great benefactor."
None of the people Song Chen is using now choose to be beggars because they are too lazy to eat. If they were not forced to a desperate situation, they would never choose this identity.
But after meeting Song Chen, they were able to regain their dignity and live well in this place. They really regarded Song Chen as their benefactor.
Song Chen shook his head slightly, "I'm not really a benefactor, but before I ask you to help me, I still have to ask if you can sincerely help me!"
A few people didn't even think about it and said, "Through fire and water, there will be no hesitation."
Song Chen was really more than just a food to them, dignity was more valuable to them than anything else.
Go through fire and water without hesitation?
Song Chen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard these eight words.
The identities of these people were not as simple as she imagined. Listening to the aura with which they spoke now, they looked more like well-trained soldiers!
She was silent for a few moments before continuing to speak.
"Why are you here? Where is your general?"
"Miss Song! You..."
Several people never expected that Song Chen would be like this when he opened his mouth, and they did not dare to reply casually.
Song Chen saw them look at each other and didn't urge them to say anything, but she knew she had guessed right.
"Miss Song, how could you...how could you ask this?"
Their identities are known to no one except themselves.
Song Chen was probably waiting for them to ask, but if they asked, Song Chen would stop telling them.
"As beggars, your overall quality is too high, and when you just said those eight words, there was a very strange feeling in it. Naturally, I thought of you being impassioned on the battlefield.
The appearance of a righteous man."
Several people were completely stunned.
I never would have thought that something was wrong here.
It's just that this Miss Song is a bit too powerful. She can tell things that others don't know with just one sentence.
them……
"Miss Song, can you accept us?"
Suddenly one of them took the lead and knelt in front of Song Chen, with a very painful expression on his face.
With him taking the lead, others followed suit and knelt down.
"Please take me in, Miss Song."
Song Chen looked at them indifferently, "I don't know what you mean."
Accepting them is very interesting if you think about it more deeply.
Is it possible that these people want to abandon their old master and follow her?
If this was really the case, she would never want such a person.
Now they can abandon their previous master for a better life, then they will abandon her for other things in the future!
She will not place such a dangerous time bomb around herself!
"Miss Song, please don't think too much. The reason why we want you to accept us is because our master is no longer here, otherwise we would not be in this situation."
When making this decision, they had already thought about how Song Chen would react.
Now that Song Chen has been identified, they will definitely explain clearly to them what happened before.
"Our master is the Protector of the Country..."
"Lord Protector!"
Song Chen knew about this man. He had heard Master Li talk about him before. He said that the person he admired most in his life was the Protector. The Protector had worked hard for the country all his life, but in the end he unexpectedly met an extremely miserable end.
He was a victim in the struggle for imperial power.
That happened about five years ago. At that time, Dayong was at its peak, and all the princes were eager to take action when they saw the prosperity.
At that time, Cang Xiuxuan was still the most beloved prince on the surface, and the other princes all set their sights on Cang Xiuxuan. On his way back from an expedition, Cang Xiuxuan was seriously injured.
The eldest son of the Protector's family was accompanying Cang Xiuxuan on the expedition this time. The Protector's daughter had already married into the eldest prince's house a year ago. In everyone's eyes, the Protector was the one who had the same relationship with the eldest prince.
The prince stood aside.
Cang Xiuxuan was injured that time, and was finally accused of forming a clique for personal gain and coveting the imperial power!
This crime is too serious, and it is an indisputable fact that Cang Xiu's life is hanging by a thread. All the evidence points directly to the eldest son of the Protector's Palace, who planned all of this.
In the end, all the people in the Protector's Mansion were beheaded!
The troops under their command were completely reorganized by the emperor. Their former master died, and the morale of the troops was badly disintegrated. Some took advantage of the loophole, escaped from Shangjing, and began to live anonymously.
These people Song Chen encountered were those who had escaped.
Song Chen was quite shocked when she heard them say the words "Guo Guo Gong" with solemn expressions. She really didn't expect that she would meet people with experience.
At the same time, Song Chen's head started to spin rapidly.
If they are really the protector of the country, wouldn't it mean that God is helping her?
