Chapter 249: Round Table 3
Lu Yao, who knew nothing about this, did not feel anything unusual.
The only feeling was excitement.
Also, my fellow villager’s hands are quite warm!
Jiang Yulang also put his hand on top and pressed on the back of Lu Yao's hand:
“I would also like to live a different life.”
But this life is a life of always following Lu Yao, exploring the world with her, and changing the world.
Zhou Chengxi placed his other hand on Jiang Yulang's hand, completing a closed loop.
She said solemnly: "Okay! The three of us fellow villagers swear by this.
We don’t ask to be born on the same day, month and year, but we ask to live in the same world, with the same ideals and struggles! "
This is an alliance, a different kind of brotherhood.
Lu Yao's eyes sparkled: "We have to rescue Yu Lang first!"
Zhou Chengxi smiled and said, "Of course."
Since we have to fight together, how can we sit idly by and ignore our important ally?
As for how to save him, Zhou Chengxi already had an idea in mind.
The two-hour tea party was about to end, but the three people felt that there were still many things they had not finished talking about and many things they had not had time to discuss.
"My fellow Yulang, don't worry, I will rescue you in a few days." Zhou Chengxi assured again.
She couldn't stay in Ping'an County for a few days, so she had to make arrangements with her fellow villagers before leaving.
Rescuing Jiang Yulang will only take these two days.
"Thank you, Princess!" Jiang Yulang was so excited that his eyes became wet.
The nightmare days are finally coming to an end.
I will repay you for saving my life with an encyclopedia!
Zhou Chengxi couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Lu Yao, please come to my place at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow morning." When Zhou Chengxi broke up with Lu Yao, he made an appointment with her to meet the next day.
Lu Yao just thought it was related to saving Jiang Yulang and happily agreed.
Zhou Chengxi smiled without saying anything, but he felt unspeakable sorrow in his heart.
It’s a good thing to find two fellow villagers.
It is not difficult to help fellow villagers.
What really worries her is her cousin Xie Jingran.
"Lu Yao, Lu Yao, you probably don't know that Brother Jing Ran gave up his noble life in the capital and came back from thousands of miles away just for you, right?"
Breaking off the engagement with the Shangshu family's daughter cost Xie Jingran a lot, even with the help of the royal family.
The most direct impact is that he has lost his place in the Beijing marriage market.
If one has a good family background, who would want to marry an older man whose parents have both passed away, whose house is an empty shell, and who has broken off his engagement with the Shangshu Mansion?
And because of the broken engagement, Xie Jingran's life in the Xie Mansion became even more difficult.
The ladies and masters of the Xie family were so angry about the broken engagement that they gnashed their teeth.
It was unanimously agreed that Xie Jingran, this rebellious son, had ruined the future of the Xie family and the marriage prospects of other children in the family.
But they never think about the fact that they are selling people out for their own personal gain in exchange for their future.
They saved themselves and succeeded in their resistance, but became sinners in their eyes.
Xie Jingran's treatment became even worse. This time when he returned to his hometown, he not only brought fewer servants, but he couldn't even bring back the better carriage he had before.
Mr. Xie's return this time is no different from being kicked out of the house and left alone.
None of this mattered. What Zhou Chengxi was worried about was that when his cousin Xie Jingran, full of hope and having given up everything, came to find Lu Yao, Lu Yao was about to get married.
What a huge blow this must be to Xie Jingran!
How could this be such a coincidence!
Moreover, it is not just about her cousin Xie Jingran. Another fellow villager, Jiang Yulang, also loves Lu Yao and is determined to marry her.
But at the moment, it seems that Jiang Yulang is just in love with Lu Yao.
No one knew what was wrong with Lu Yao's brain. She looked at such a handsome man every day but never thought much about it.
Her Royal Highness, who has more than a dozen true loves and thinks she understands love best, complains to her fellow villager in her heart - she is worthy of being a woman who has been single for two lifetimes due to her own strength!
Zhou Chengxi paced back and forth in the room, stamping his feet.
His mind was in a mess, but his face remained calm.
Having been a princess for many years, she has developed a character that does not show her emotions, thinks things through carefully, and has become increasingly calm.
She has to solve her cousin's problems and Jiang Yulang's problems.
Her goal is to do things beautifully, balance all parties, and maximize Lu Yao's interests.
Zhou Chengxi clapped his hands, and the secret guard appeared out of nowhere again.
"Go, within one hour, I want all the information about Lu Yao's fiancé."
"As ordered!"
Lu Yao did not reveal who her fiancé was, but this was not a problem for the princess.
She had to see what kind of fiancé her fellow villager found, and carefully consider his family background, personal aspects, etc.
This not only concerns the happiness of his cousin, but also the arrangements for Jiang Yulang's fellow villagers, and even Lu Yao's future prospects.
'My fellow countryman, although you and I have modern thinking, in this world, there are some things that we have to conform to the general environment.
I hope you can understand my arrangement.'
Zhou Chengxi thought carefully for a long time and finally made a preliminary plan.
At 9:00 p.m. the next day, Lu Yao arrived at Zhou Chengxi's residence on time.
It’s in the backyard of Ping’an County Government Office.
He brought very few people and was very low-key.
If you hadn't told me, it would have been impossible to imagine that a princess and the governor of Dongshan County had come here.
"I came here just to look for you. The main reason I left the capital was to come on behalf of the Queen Mother to commend the bandit suppression work of a nearby prefecture."
In a side hall in the backyard of the county government office, Zhou Chengxi and Lu Yao sat opposite each other drinking tea and chatting about their visit.
"Suppress bandits? Are there many bandits in Feng Dynasty?" Lu Yao asked curiously.
She is doing business and might have to travel to other places in the future. She is very concerned about whether the road conditions are safe.
"It's very rare. A few years ago, there was a famine in that area due to natural disasters, and some extremely vicious people took the opportunity to become bandits.
Fortunately, we finally wiped them out at the end of last year. Although some escaped, they were basically wiped out. "Zhou Chengxi explained patiently.
"You're praising me before I've caught them all? Does this count as opening champagne at halftime?" Lu Yao suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She asked anxiously:
"What if those bandits and thieves come back again?"
"There are probably seven or eight people who slipped through the net. They are all insignificant and can't make a comeback.
In the past, various places had worked very hard to suppress bandits.
The court commended in advance to encourage officials at all levels.”
That's it.
"So I can't stay here for a few days. Before I leave, I have to make arrangements for you and Jiang Yulang."
The word "arrange" was emphasized, but unfortunately Lu Yao didn't understand.
"There's one more thing," Zhou Chengxi said with a smile, "Didn't you ask me before how I knew of your existence?
I heard it from other people's inner voices at the palace banquet.
And that person is my cousin.
Today, he also came here and wanted to see you very much. "
The royal family knew me and wanted to meet me? Lu Yao was very surprised.
At this time, with Zhou Chengxi's permission, a person slowly walked in from outside the hall.
Lu Yao turned around curiously to look at the legendary cousin of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.
But when she saw that blue figure, she was stunned.
"Lu-Yao!" When the man saw Lu Yao, he couldn't hold back any longer and ran over excitedly!
