Chapter 63 A prince is missing

The King of Chu looked at the silent crowd, and said slowly: "Everyone must be thinking about how much to donate, right? It doesn't need to be too much, you are still children after all."

Another crow flew past Chen Fan's heart.

Chen Jian said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compassion! We will let the servants or maids go back to report to their parents, convey the prince's compassion to them, and send money and food. Please sit down a little longer, Your Highness."

Is this to be actively detained?I guess I can't go, so why not have a better attitude?
The king of Chu nodded approvingly: "You can teach children. Whose family are you all children?"

Chen Jian was the first to answer: "Chen Jian, a grassroots man, his uncle is Chen Dexian, the governor of Taizhou."

"Oh?" The King of Chu seemed surprised, "Chen Cishi's nephew? Sure enough, he is knowledgeable and magnanimous. Are there any other official sons here?"

The whole place was silent.

Half a minute later, Xiao Liangqi spoke: "Caomin's surname is Xiao, and this ranch was founded by Caomin's great-grandfather."

"Not bad, he is a young master."

"His Royal Highness praises the award, and the grassroots are terrified."

Liu Jiannan took over the topic: "Caomin's surname is Liu, he is the concubine of the Liu family in the west of the city, these three are the younger sisters of Caomin."

The King of Chu's voice obviously rose: "So it's a child of the Liu family. The Liu family is a big family in Yuanfeng County. The king has heard of the good name of the Liu family for a long time."

Liu Jiannan was naturally humble again.Others also reported all over the house one by one.

Chen Fan didn't hear Zhang Ci's voice from the beginning to the end. He searched for it, but there was no sign of him.Looking at the table again, the teacup he drank is gone!The table top is clean, there is no trace of letting the cup go!

She didn't find Qing Ji either, but she could feel someone standing behind her, could it be Qing Ji?
A strange voice sounded: "Who will each of your families send back?" Probably the entourage next to the King of Chu. The King of Chu has said the scene, and these trivial matters only need to be handled by his hands.

The small voice continued for a while, and several maids and servants stood up.

"Hurry up and come back, I will pick up your master in an hour." After the voice said, the prince turned around and went out with the people.Those maids and servants also went out.

Everyone stood for a while before raising their heads and sitting down.

Chen Fan looked behind him, and it really was Qing Ji.When did the chapters disappear?

Qing Ji sat next to Liu Jiannan, and said softly, "Thank you for the Liu family's help today, and we will supply money and food to the Liu family later."

Liu Jiannan shook his head: "You are welcome, we are all friends."

When did these two become so close?

Ruhui opened her eyes curiously: "Where is Mr. Zhang?"

Qingji said: "The young master left beforehand. Let's go for a walk on the pasture."

Is it inconvenient to speak?

"Can you go out?" Ruhui didn't dare.

"Yes, as long as you're still in the ranch." Qing Ji stood up and walked out after speaking, followed by several members of the Liu family.Others looked at me and I looked at you, and they also walked out of the door one after another.

Qing Ji led everyone out for a distance before sitting down on the grass.Chen Fan didn't dislike the grass, and sat down. Liu Jiannan's speed was about the same as hers, followed by Huaishan and Ruhui.

Xiao Wu and Dao Sui had already gone back to Liu's house to send a letter, Xiao He, Li Chun and Ah Ying walked a little farther and sat down back to back.

It never occurred to Chen Fan that if he came out to ride a horse, he would still encounter the apportionment.She didn't even see clearly who was standing in front of her just now, and her clothes couldn't tell her identity.

Qing Ji's voice was very soft, but Chen Fan and the others could hear it clearly: "The King of Chu just now is the third uncle of the current Holy Majesty, 40 years old. Behind him are officials and guards, and there is also a steward of the ranch. The absence of officials from Shengping County shows that he really came to Shengping County on a temporary basis, and even the Xiao family didn't know that there was a distinguished guest to receive."

"Then how do you know he is Prince Chu?" Ruhui was puzzled.

"I've met the King of Chu before. It's him. Following him are a senior official from the Qingzhou government office and a Sima from the Huaizhou government office. The three of them don't wear official uniforms, but they usually wear With the badge, the steward of the Xiao family should recognize that there is a distinguished guest, but he would not expect a prince to come all of a sudden."

"Where did they come from?" Chen Fan asked.

"It should be from Huaizhou to Gyeongju, and is going to return from Gyeongju to Huaizhou. The two states are far apart, but they are connected by waterways, and they can be reached in a day by boat. The king of Chu came to Gyeongju to collect food. Going to Huaizhou today. I just don’t know why I turned a corner in Shengping County.”

"And get some money and food by the way?" Liu Jiannan looked at Qingji, who nodded.

"Just go to the city to get money and food, why are you scaring us?" Ruhui said aggrievedly.

"Going directly to the city is not as quiet as it is now, and it won't be so smooth. He doesn't want much, and a few families will send some money quietly, and that's enough. Doesn't the Xiao family ranch have ready-made grain and grass?"

This is not much, how much is it?

Chen Fan asked Qingji again: "Why didn't anyone point out that your son is not here just now?"

Qingji smiled and said nothing.Chen Fan was a little depressed.

She opened the bag, took out two small scrolls, and handed them to Qing Ji: "Since your son is not here, please pass it to him."

Qing Ji looked at it, thanked him, took the scroll and put it in his waist pocket.

"Let's go, let's find Xiao Liangqi for lunch." Liu Jiannan stood up.

After a quick fight, he ate lunch and took a nap, and a group of maids and servants walked in the door.It's really an hour.

They each found their masters and whispered a few words.Everyone hugged each other as a farewell, and dispersed extremely quietly.

Qing Ji and the others rode three horses, but Qing Ji was the only one at this time, Liu Jiannan and Chen Fan rode the other two horses to have a good time.Xiao Wu drives Huai Shan and the others.

Chen Fan really wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start.She always felt that all this was like a dream, inexplicable and incredible.

After walking in silence for half an hour, Chen Fan seemed to have survived the whole day.Qingji's voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Qin Zheng is here."

Well?What?
Chen Fan heard a slight sound coming from behind, accompanied by a breeze blowing towards her back, someone landed on her horseback, she couldn't help but froze.

"Don't worry, girl, I'm Qin Zheng." Qin Zheng said softly.

Chen Fan came to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on today?"

"The king of Chu is indeed passing by, and there is indeed something to do when turning the corner. It seems that a prince has disappeared, and he seems to have come to Yuanfeng County."

What?Chen Fan's whole body tensed up again.

"Then he still has time to trouble us?" Chen Fan couldn't figure it out.

"Don't delay, they have so many people under their command. Every family has a few guards on the carriage going back to get the money, sneaking into the city."

It turned out to be the case.

"Then they are not afraid that some people just want to get rid of those children and don't send money over there?"

"Are you going shopping as a guard? Each family follows a guard and tells that family that there are traces of rebels in Yuanfeng County."

"Not so intimidating."

"It's not to scare, it's because there are really rebels. The bandits who stormed the city gates and robbed things were one of them. They came here to collect money and disturb the water. Now there are a group of high-ranking ones."

Chen Fan's relaxed body tensed again.

"It's okay, you can just farm with peace of mind. Farming is your big business."
