After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 209 It’s a good time for them to take action

As the sky gradually darkened, Han Yaojun found Zhou Yichen and spoke seriously.

"Today, Your Highness will have to stay at the County Magistrate's Mansion. I have already sent people to clean up the place. Your Highness has been in the mountains for the past few days, so I guess you haven't had enough rest."

As he said this, Han Yaojun looked sincerely at the green shadow in Zhou Yichen's eyes.

Zhou Yichen, "......"

Chu Xi followed Han Yaojun's gaze and looked at Zhou Yichen, and then couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness, I think what General Han said makes sense. You... really need to have a good rest."

After saying that, she looked at Rong Qingzhu who was silent beside her with a sincere face, "Lord Rong, too, go back and rest early."

It was estimated that both of them had never experienced such hardship. Not only did they look unhappy, but the dark shadows under their eyes were almost as bright as a panda's.

Rong Qingzhu, "?" Why did it involve him?

But is it so obvious that he didn't sleep well?

Han Yaojun could see that Chu Jiang had a good relationship with His Highness and Rong Qingzhu. He had no intention of making friends with the prince, and even less did he want to please the Rong family.

Then he told the whole story, "Something happened suddenly before, and I didn't have time to welcome Your Highness. When the relief team from the imperial court arrives, I will hold a banquet. I hope Your Highness will come and show me your presence!"

Zhou Yichen pondered for a moment and did not refuse, "General Han, you're welcome. I will definitely be present at the banquet."

Han Yaojun thought that he had said enough polite words, so he took his men to other alleys to clear the obstacles.

That night, meals were still prepared by the firemen. Since every household was short of food, Han Yaojun was worried about other people coming to help, so he could only let the firemen continue to work harder.

It is not easy to prepare meals for more than 200,000 people, but compared to using local ingredients on the mountain and facing wind and rain, the conditions are already pretty good after coming down the mountain.

Han Yaojun specially dispatched three thousand soldiers to help, just to finish this meal as soon as possible.

The dishes that night were some edible food that the people spontaneously dug out from the cellar and sent over. Compared to eating wild vegetables, these dishes were an improvement in life for everyone.

Most of the wealthy families chose to cook at home. They sent people to talk to Han Yaojun and expressed their understanding of the difficulties of cooking for the soldiers. They would not cause trouble for Han Yaojun and would eat at home.

Han Yaojun was already worried about not having enough food, and since they "disliked" the communal meals so much, he didn't force them. He just nodded lightly to show that he understood.

The officials in the city wanted to do the same as the rich families, but who could blame them... Han Yaojun's official position was higher than theirs, and there were also two "big officials" coming from the capital.

Rong Qingzhu was as honest as ever and introduced his identity in a very serious manner, which frightened several county officials so much that their legs went weak and sweat broke out on their foreheads.

As for Zhou Yichen's identity, it was introduced by Han Yaojun. As a prince, he did not travel in a low-key manner. He was accompanied by three hundred cavalry guards, and one could tell at a glance that he was of noble status.

As expected, as soon as they opened their mouths to test the water, after Han Yaojun calmly told them his identity, one of the timid ones almost knelt down before Zhou Yichen on the spot.

As for his identity, even if Zhou Yichen's identity as a prince was not revealed, some of these officials might have already guessed his identity.

The identity of the officials appointed by His Majesty to repair the river dam was not concealed. Even though this place is thousands of miles away from the capital, they can still find out if they ask carefully.

With the prince around, even if they want to live a luxurious life in their own mansion, they have to see if they are lucky enough to enjoy it.

The princes are here drinking porridge with the people, and they will go back to their palaces to enjoy good wine and food, unless they are really tired of living!

In this way, the trembling officials carefully accompanied Zhou Yichen, but did not dare to get too close. They huddled together, holding a bowl, taking a sip of porridge from time to time, and carefully stole a glance at Zhou Yichen.

As for Zhou Yichen, he was naturally accompanied by Han Yaojun and Rong Qingzhu. Chu Xi did not intend to reveal his identity for the time being, so he deliberately chose an inconspicuous seat and ate in silence.

Chu Er naturally followed his master's steps.

Bian Hangqing came close to Chu Xi and whispered, "This Third Prince is quite able to endure hardships."

Much better than the prince he had imagined!

Chu Xi raised her eyebrows, her beautiful fox eyes full of ambiguous smiles, "What kind of personality do you think the Third Prince has?"

Bian Hangqing, "...I haven't thought about it either."

In his imagination, the princes were used to enjoying the prosperous life in the capital, eating delicious food and drinking delicious drinks. If they came to a place like this, they would probably not be able to last even a day.

Unexpectedly, the third prince not only stayed with them on the mountain for eight or nine days, but also went down the mountain to clear out the debris without showing any airs of a prince at all.

(⊙o⊙)...

All in all, it was quite unexpected.

If...the future crown prince of the Great Zhou is the third prince, the situation should be better than it is now, right?

Although Bian Hangqing didn't say it, his eyes and face had already betrayed his feelings. Chu Xi didn't even have to guess; he could tell what he was thinking at a glance.

For this reason, he chuckled and said slowly in a clean and pleasant voice, "Everyone has different personalities. Not to mention the princes, even officials have different personalities. If you think so much, you might as well finish eating early and find a place to have a good sleep."

Chu Xi said this sincerely for Bian Hangqing's own good. He is still young, just over the age of coming of age, and has a bright future. It is not a good thing to be involved in such a vortex of power so early!

Bian Hangqing knew that his martial arts skills were not as good as Chu Jiang's, nor as smart as him, but he also knew that choosing a crown prince was a dispute over the foundation of the country. How could a low-ranking official like him get involved?

"You're right. I've been exhausted these past few days. I must have a good sleep tonight."

After saying this, he seemed to realize that he was thinking too far ahead, and couldn't help but sneer, laughing at himself in his heart, thinking that he was really meddling in other people's business.

He can't even protect the people, and yet he still has the mind to think about who will be the next monarch!

*

It's night, and the bright moon is in the sky.

The city of Xi'an, which had been experiencing heavy rain for almost half a month, finally cleared the haze that had been covering their heads.

Zhou Yichen was worried that Qi Bai's injuries had not yet healed, so he asked the guards to carry Qi Bai to his residence to rest together.

Rong Qingzhu was also arranged to stay in the county magistrate's mansion, in the yard next to Zhou Yichen.

Han Yaojun knew that the two of them had special identities, so he would naturally not separate them, in order to avoid insufficient guards and being taken advantage of!

"Your Highness, I don't think Dongying and Xichu will give up their plan to attack Dazhou so easily. Now that Xi'an City has not recovered yet and we are short of food and clothing, this is a great opportunity for them to take action..."

Chu Xi frowned slightly, analyzing the situation.

Zhou Yichen said calmly, "Raise your hand."

Chu Xi did it subconsciously, thinking that Xi'an was short of troops and might be surrounded by enemies...

Zhou Yichen saw the young man raise his hand, but he was still absent-minded. He did not interrupt his thoughts, but just silently rolled up his sleeves, changed the gauze, re-applied medicine, and then bandaged it.

Chu Xi was stunned.
