Chapter 208: secret

Xuanyuan Chen tilted his head slightly and frowned, "Why?"
Mu Yingxue paused, and continued: "Well, because this is the secret between you and me! The secret is that only two people know can be a secret, understand?"
Xuanyuan Chen blinked, not knowing whether he understood or not, but nodded very seriously anyway. Free-fee-first-release→【chasing】【book】【help】"Okay, secret!"
Mu Yingxue couldn't help showing a big smile, she felt very happy. Although Xuanyuan Chen's mentality is only a few years old, but now it seems that it is really cute!
"What..." Mu Yingxue smiled, her eyes paused on the jade bracelet on her wrist. "Achen can you tell me where did this jade bracelet come from?"
"I picked it up!" Xuanyuan Chen tilted his head. "Put someone in your arms, here you are."
Hearing this, Mu Yingxue flashed a frustration in her heart. She thought this thing was bought by this guy, but it was given because of the hindrance. This is really...
Mu Yingxue’s loss was nothing more than a flash. No matter what, this was Xuanyuanchen’s first gift to her. It’s better than nothing, so why bother with it? What’s more, she shouldn’t be too demanding for Xuanyuanchen. This is really good.
"The Sheriff..."
Just when Mu Yingxue wanted to say something, Dong Yue's voice suddenly came from behind her.
Mu Yingxue got up and turned to look at the person who appeared. "General Dong, are you okay?"
Dong Yue carried a package in his hand with a serious face. "I'm here to ask the prince if he wants to wash!"
Mu Yingxue screamed, and quickly turned to ask Xuanyuan Chen.
But after a few days of taking a good bath, Xuanyuan Chen stood up and looked at Dong Yue when he heard Dong Yue's words.
"Master, please here!" Dong Yue has been following Xuanyuanchen for many years, and the two of them are unable to understand each other tacitly. Although the prince did not speak, he already understood what the other meant.
Mu Yingxue also got up and left.
"Huh, your hand..."
Mu Yingxue smiled when she heard Dong Yue's voice. She deliberately walked to Dong Yue's side, just to let Dong Yue see the jade bracelet on her wrist.
Since she got the jade bracelet, she was eager to tell the whole world about it-my man gave me something.
"What?" Mu Yingxue raised her hand and moved her wrist. The jade-white arms and the red and brilliant jade bracelets set against each other and looked very beautiful.
"Princess, your hand is hurt." Dong Yue said solemnly.
Mu Yingxue really wanted to punch the person in front of her, what kind of look was this, she didn't even see such a beautiful bracelet!
"Oh, is it!" Mu Yingxue's gaze stopped, and when Xuanyuan Chen just bit her, her strength was not light and she broke her skin.
"A little injury, it's okay!" Mu Yingxue shook her wrist again, hoping that the person beside her could see the jade bracelet on her wrist.
"Even if it's a trivial matter, it's better for the county lord to bandage it!"
Mu Yingxue was silent.
After a while, he said with emotion: "Dong Yue, the first time I found out, you are the root of wood!"
Dong Yue looked at the people beside him blankly, not understanding why he made such an evaluation.
Mu Yingxue put down her wrist, she didn't expect the person beside her to find the beautiful jade bracelet.
"Hurry up, otherwise the water will be cold!" Mu Yingxue urged, and she didn't plan to bother with the people beside her. She rubbed the jade bracelet in her hand, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was always gentle.
When Xuanyuanchen entered the bathroom to take a bath, Mu Yingxue sat in the courtyard, looking at the jade bracelet in her hand, maybe she hadn't done anything, Dong Yue finally noticed her behavior and said.
"This jade bracelet was bought by the prince himself!"
Mu Yingxue raised her head brushingly. "What did you say, say it again?"
There was obvious surprise in her eyes, and the whole person seemed to bring joy.
Dong Yue was taken aback by Mu Yingxue's reaction, and quickly repeated what he had just said.
Mu Yingxue squinted her eyes and smirked constantly, causing Dong Yue to leave two steps subconsciously.
"Quickly tell me, how did Achen buy the jade bracelet?" After knowing that Xuanyuanchen bought it by herself, Mu Yingxue's mood was almost bubbling.
"Um... well... it was like this..." Dong Yue didn't conceal Mu Yingxue's question, and directly told the scene at the time.
"You mean, Ah Chen caught this at first sight, and then he wants it?" Mu Yingxue smiled silly.
"Well, the prince knew that he was going to meet you, so he was very happy. Then he went shopping and bought this!" Dong Yue continued after a pause. "At that time, there were other people who liked this jade bracelet, but the prince put the jade bracelet directly into his arms and bought it!"
Hearing that there were some twists and turns, Mu Yingxue liked this jade bracelet even more.
She kept touching, and finally took the bracelet off and wrapped it in a cloth strip.
"Princess, what are you doing?" Dong Yue asked suspiciously.
Mu Yingxue glanced at the questioning guy, and the dark color was relieved: "This is what Achen bought for me, I want to cherish it. Hey..."
Dong Yue looked at the person who kept smirking and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The princess loved the prince so much, but...
Thinking of this, Dong Yue quickly stood up. "I'll go in and see the lord..."
Leaving such a word, Dong Yue quickly ran into the bathroom on the side.
Mu Yingxue rolled her eyes and didn't take it seriously.
Because it was getting late, Mu Yingxue stayed in the village all night and waited for the sun to rise the next day before leaving the village.
This place is too remote after all, not as convenient as the place where it was stationed before.
Two hours after leaving, when it was noon, everyone returned to the original camp.
Mu Yingxue sent someone into Yunlin Town to find out the news, only to find that Rong Qing was moving faster than her.
The bandit who returned to Maling hid for so many days and finally couldn't help it. They attacked a caravan passing by, but they happened to be met by the army that came after them. The last two troops went through a fierce battle and the caravan was rescued. Came down, but the bandit also escaped.
In the afternoon, just after Mu Yingxue had eaten, the caravan invited Mu Yingxue to eat, thanking her for saving her life.
For this invitation, Mu Yingxue happily went.
For a while, even the children in the town sang about her deeds, and Mu Yingxue blushed when she heard the ballad.
However, by the next day, Mu Yingxue realized that it was good to be sung like this.
For example, in just a day's work, a few caravans came over and offered protection money very diligently, hoping that Mu Yingxue would quickly wipe out the bandits.
After hearing those people's words, Mu Yingxue immediately expressed all kinds of righteous Ling Ran.
Mu Yingxue said that collecting protection fees for these people is really not merciful at all. Who will let these people focus on them?
After reading Rong Qing’s letter to her, Mu Yingxue realized that this piece was a big whirlpool. She knew that the water was deep inside, but she didn’t have this identity and power to interfere here, so she had to be cruel before leaving. Make a fortune, and speak out for the poor people.
On February 20th, this day was just a very peaceful night, but on this night, something not big or small happened.
After the night attack by the bandits on Huimaling, the county government office in Yunlin Town was looted overnight, and the entire county government office was burned out by a fire.
And just the next morning, everyone discovered that all the bandits on Huimaling had been strangled.
As the princess, Mu Yingxue directly posted the imperial list to appease the common people, and at the same time sent someone to return the battle report.
In the barracks, Mu Yingxue walked quickly to the middle and asked. "How's the inventory?"
A very ordinary-looking man walked up to Mu Yingxue and said: "The princess, found the tax and silver from the warehouse in the north, and now there are only 700,000 taels left!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yingxue was shocked instantly. "It has only been a few days, and those people spent 300,000 taels!"
Mu Yingxue was sweating again and again. In this era, one pin of silver can support ordinary people for half a year, three hundred thousand taels...
"Yesterday, two cellars were found in the other two ruined temples. Fifty altars of wine jars were found inside. They were filled with silver. There is no statistics yet. It is estimated that there are five hundred thousand taels!"
Mu Yingxue only felt shocked when she heard this number. "Why so many!"
"In addition to silver, there is gold. This is the total value!" said the ordinary-looking man.
Mu Yingxue sighed. If she had some doubts about the other party's plan at the beginning, she didn't doubt it at all now.
"These are official silver!" The man walked to one of the wine jars because of Mu Yingxue, and then took out a certain amount of silver ingots, showing the official logo.
"Really bold!" Mu Yingxue sighed, and after a pause, her voice changed. "However, it's quite courageous, hey, what a pity..."
Mu Yingxue didn't have much dislike for these people's designs to be greedy for official taxes, but she felt like a king or a loser.
"Princess, there are two more places..." the young man continued.
Mu Yingxue touched her chin and shook her head directly. "No, these are enough!"
After a pause, he said. "It's a pity, if these silver coins don't have these signs, I would rather...!"
It was a pity for Mu Yingxue for a while, but then she didn't have much interest when she thought that even if the silver was found, it would be handed over to the treasury as trophies.
After all, she still has no sense of belonging to this era.
After everything was counted, another day had passed.
Mu Yingxue knows the truth that if she doesn't make a move, she is dead, and she also understands that a dog will jump the wall if she is anxious.
If the strongholds around here are swept away, she will definitely not be able to return to the capital in the end, as she is now.
Inside the Imperial Study Room.
"His Majesty……"
An Gonggong arched his body and walked quickly to Xuanyuanlie's side.
Xuanyuanlie raised his head and looked at the person who appeared, "Xiao Anzi, what's the matter?"
Father An raised his head, with obvious joy on his face. "Your Majesty, there is a report coming back to Maling. People are waiting outside."
"Xuan!"
"Yes……"
After a while, Shang Shu of the Ministry of War walked in quickly, "Your Majesty, go back to Maling!"
