Lin Yiqiu opened his mouth and said without hesitation.
For a moment, Xia Ningshuang's expression changed in an instant.
She said a little annoyed.
"The imperial court is already short of money and food. The corrupt officials in these places are still unwilling to make progress and dare to do such a thing. It is really hateful!"
"yes!"
Lin Yiqiu sighed with emotion. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that in the wheat field in the distance, a ray of coldness was shooting towards this direction. In an instant, Lin Yiqiu's face changed drastically, and then he shouted loudly.
"There's an assassin!"
After saying that, he suddenly threw Xia Ningshuang into the carriage in the midst of lightning flashes.
At this time, a crisp bang was heard.
I can only see it from the car window.
A sharp sword was nailed to the wooden board of the carriage. The hilt was still trembling slightly. Looking at Lin Yiqiu who had thrown Xia Ningshuang under him, he couldn't help but take a breath of air and sighed.
"Fortunately, I couldn't hurt you, the eldest princess..."
"Lin Yiqiu, your hand!"
Just as Lin Yiqiu was sighing here.
Xia Ningshuang screamed, almost blushing, stretched out her arms, and slapped Lin Yiqiu's body. Subconsciously, Lin Yiqiu looked down and instantly noticed that he was falling on Xia Ningshuang.
.
"Still not getting up?"
His body felt soft. It was just that he hadn't noticed it before. At this time, Lin Yiqiu couldn't help but lose control.
Just as he was about to get up, suddenly, in the wheat field in the distance, a woman wearing white clothes and a veil suddenly jumped out of it. She moved quickly and showed contempt, and arrived at the nearby West Factory in front of the carriage.
Fanzi, and the Imperial Guard soldiers.
He quickly blocked it.
Lin Yiqiu, on the other hand, quickly pinned Xia Ningshuang into the carriage and protected her under her body as she was about to get up.
Of course, he unknowingly took advantage of Xia Ningshuang.
At this time, perhaps because the sneak attack failed, the masked assassin in white moved his figure and evacuated towards the distance with extremely fast speed. The speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dense forest in the distance.
It was Lin Yiqiu who looked at him and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
"This man's Qinggong is very impressive. His martial arts skills are not inferior to mine!"
"You, get up!"
The assassin left, and at this time, Xia Ningshuang started shouting.
Only then did Lin Yiqiu notice that, in his panic, he was actually on top of Xia Ningshuang. At this time, looking at his body, his clothes were a little messy due to his hasty movements.
And this undoubtedly made Xia Ningshuang a little confused.
"Well……"
Lin Yiqiu felt embarrassed for a while.
He said it was a life-threatening situation, but he stood up quickly, and then explained calmly.
"It's not anything, it's just something I carry with me..."
"oh!"
Xia Ningshuang did not continue to ask, but asked Lin Yiqiu.
"Why didn't you chase the assassin just now?"
"The assassin's martial arts skills are not inferior to mine, and his light skills are quite good. If I go after him, what if she has any accomplices? What if she kills another carbine again? What will happen to the princess's safety?"
Lin Yiqiu replied seriously.
Xia Ningshuang thought about it and realized that this was really the truth.
He couldn't help but praise Lin Yiqiu.
"Yiqiu, you still know more. It seems that this princess still wants to learn from you!"
"Haha, I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it!"
Lin Yiqiu replied awkwardly, and then said to the people in the West Factory outside the carriage, as well as the imperial guards.
"Keep going, be careful along the way, send out a few more cavalry, and explore the surroundings!"
"yes!"
The subordinates on the side did not dare to neglect.
The eldest princess was assassinated. In fact, every one of them was extremely scared in their hearts.
Because, if something happens to the eldest princess, then, needless to say, all of them will be killed.
Not only that, but even their family members may be punished.
In this situation.
Each of them, at this time, was very alert and carefully searching for any suspicious signs on the roadside. In this way, Lin Yiqiu was able to easily enter the west city.
Xicheng.
When entering Xicheng.
Lin Yiqiu suddenly discovered this.
Xicheng is extremely prosperous.
There was no sign of being affected by the drought at all, which undoubtedly deepened Lin Yiqiu's suspicion. After entering Xicheng, they went straight to the City Lord's Mansion in Xicheng.
In terms of the system of the Daqian Empire, it was obviously much behind Lin Yiqiu's time and space.
In the Daqian Empire.
In fact, many places still adopt the feudal system. There is a city lord in the city, which is a hereditary position. You only need to pay a certain tax to the court every year. Xicheng is such a small city.
However, this small town.
Now they actually dare to deliberately report disasters every year.
Not only did he not pay taxes to the court, but he also defrauded the court of money and food.
This is undoubtedly unacceptable.
At this time, Lin Yiqiu and the others went straight to the West City Lord's Mansion.
When they rushed to the city lord's mansion.
As the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army arrived, inside the city lord's palace.
City Lord Zhu Jianhai walked out with a smile, and then said a welcome.
"When the eldest princess arrives, everyone in the West City welcomes her. I, the Lord of the West City, Zhu Jianhai, have met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
"We have met Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess!"
For a moment, Xicheng City Lord's subordinates and soldiers all shouted loudly.
"No gift!"
Xia Ningshuang acted quite calmly. At this time, she had already changed her clothes and tidied up her makeup before arriving at the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, she was only heard speaking to Zhu Jianhai, the City Lord of the West City.
"I would like to ask you now, has Xicheng suffered any disasters this year?"
"this……"
For a moment, the face of the West City Lord suddenly changed.
He bit the bullet and answered.
"Reporting to the eldest son, it is indeed a disaster!"
"Then why, after the disaster, in the wheat fields up and down the West City, the wheat is growing so well that it looks like a good harvest?"
Lin Yiqiu asked with a sneer.
For a moment, the face of Xicheng City Lord Zhu Jianhai suddenly changed.
Well, this question is not easy to answer.
Because, he actually knew that Xicheng did not suffer from famine at all.
Except for the reported famine in the first year, Xicheng has been in good weather for so many years.
However, this matter must not be leaked.
Once it is leaked.
The latter will be extremely serious. This chapter has been completed!
