The Regent's little feral cat bites again

Chapter 146 The Regent Arrives

Standing on the high platform, Xuan Yin Ruoling swept across the desolation all around him, filled with many emotions at once.

Everything that she was tied here five years ago seemed to be vivid in her mind, and the handsome and disgusting faces of those soldiers pierced into her heart like knives.

What made her toss and turn in the middle of the night couldn't let go... It was Xiao Tao in the dark who rescued her without hesitation, but was dragged into hell again.

Xuan Yinruo thought more than once, is this the fate given to her by Dr. Su, or is it given by God?
Some questions still need to be answered, she can't stay here for the rest of her life, and she can't stay here any longer.

The scorching sun was getting stronger in the afternoon, Mo Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked over: "Sister Xuan, it's almost done here, do you want to carry Ganyi out?"

Xuan Yinruo took a look at the sky, the effect of the medicine in Ganyi's body has not faded, and he is still in an extremely unconscious state at the moment, if he is carried out to bask in the sun, it may be able to eliminate the effect of the medicine in advance, it just so happens that Xuan Yinruo also has many problems that need to be solved. He will answer.

"Bring it out." Xuan Yinruo said lightly, then turned and went back to the courtyard.
-
Anping City Lord's Mansion, Kong Chi stood at the door, his body trembling slightly, beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks, the subordinates around him tremblingly wanted to wipe Kong Chi's sweat with a handkerchief, but he shook him off open.

"What's going on? Why do you say that the identity of Princess Yong'an is fake? Is the token also fake? And the regent entered the city last night, why did you only receive the news today? How did you do it?"

Kong Chi wanted to appear serious, but he had a simple and honest face, which made his expression look a bit nondescript.

However, his aura still bluffed his subordinates, and he knelt down directly: "This subordinate is ineffective, please punish the city master."

Kong Chi's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand: "Forget it, let me be smarter today, and take a good look at whether this big shot from the capital is really a big shot, did you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly."

There were several officials standing behind him, as well as his concubines and children, which filled a large space at the door.

As soon as he heard the news that the regent was coming to Anping, he almost non-stop summoned all the subordinate officials of Anping and all the family members in his mansion to welcome him.

Regardless of whether this person is the real regent or not, etiquette must be done.

Not long after, an ordinary-looking carriage slowly drove over from a distance, and stopped firmly in front of Kong Chi.

Xiao Ling reined in the horse, got out of the car and respectfully lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. Gu Chengyuan was wearing a crescent white gown with fine suet nephrite pinned to his waist. He had a clear face, dark purple pupils, and an elegant temperament Outstanding, just standing there makes it difficult to ignore his innate dignity and bones.

Kong Chi could almost be sure from the first sight of him that there would be no one else besides the regent Gu Chengyuan in front of him.

He was a servant of the former city lord before, and he has seen a lot of world in Anping, a border city.

But the one who came today and the one who met yesterday are already two of the most outstanding temperaments he has ever seen in his life.

Kong Chi took a deep breath, knelt down on the ground and performed the nine-kowtow ceremony, shouting in his mouth: "The Regent is here, and I am not far away to welcome you. The humble minister Kong Chi brought all the officials in Anping and all the female relatives to kowtow to the Regent, Regent Wan An."

As soon as his words fell, the people behind him, men, women, young and old, prostrated themselves on the ground together with him, respectfully saluting.

Gu Chengyuan's gaze only stayed on them for a moment before turning away, his voice was light but with obvious alienation and impatience: "Get up."

It was obviously a normal sentence, but Kong Chi was the closest, but the sweat on his forehead seemed to be dripping non-stop.

No matter how capable he is, he can only win a city at most, how dare he compete with Chaoyang?
Kong Chi stood up, but bent his back very low, stacked a flattering and humble smile, cupped his hands towards Gu Chengyuan, and asked tentatively, "Is the lord staying in the city lord's mansion tonight?"

Gu Chengyuan seemed to be aware of his thoughts, and glanced at him indifferently: "I heard that a princess came to Anping yesterday?"

Kong Chi's heart shrank suddenly, almost jumped out of his throat, and he hurriedly said, "It's Princess Yong'an in the palace. She said that the prince asked her to punish the criminals and investigate the feelings of the people... She also showed the princess' order cards, and the prince's warrant, I thought that..."

"Where does she live?"

Kong Chi was still thinking about how to get himself out of this matter, but Gu Chengyuan interrupted his nonsense impatiently.

"Wei Chen really doesn't know..." Kong Chi still wanted to defend himself, but suddenly realized Gu Chengyuan's question, and was taken aback, "Huh?"

Standing behind Gu Chengyuan, Xiao Ling felt a little helpless when he saw this, but he sympathized and understood Kong Chi very much. He took a step forward and coughed lightly to remind him: "My lord is asking about the residence of that princess of yours."

"Oh oh oh." Kong Chi swallowed, and nodded quickly, "She lives in the old camp in the northern suburbs. There was a deserted house near the place where the Yi army was stationed. She insisted on..."

Seeing that Gu Chengyuan's eyes were gradually filled with sadness, Xiao Ling quickly interrupted Kong Chi again: "How long does it take to get to the northern suburbs from here?"

"Uh……"

Kong Chi blinked, and replied subconsciously: "If you ride a horse, you can arrive within an hour, if you use a carriage, it may be slower, maybe dinner..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Chengyuan turned around and got back into the carriage.

Xiao Ling touched his nose, and politely nodded to Kong Chi to thank him, and quickly left in the carriage.

Like a gust of wind, the two of them came and disappeared in an instant.

"..."

There was a moment of stagnation in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion, and the subordinate behind Kong Chi moved quietly and walked over: "My lord, the big table of meals in the mansion..."

Kong Chi relaxed like a deflated ball, and waved his hands at them casually: "You go and share it. If there is any leftover, remember to go to the Chengdong Temple to distribute it to the poor people."

"Yes, thank you, the city lord, the city lord is wise."

There were voices behind him: "The city lord is wise."

Kong Chi didn't care about them, he just stared at the place where Gu Chengyuan left in a daze, what kind of shit luck did he have in the past two days, to welcome two giant Buddhas at once.

He had a hunch that the reason why the regent would reveal his identity today was simply to inquire about the location of the princess.

Otherwise...he might not even want to show his face.

Lanzhou City, that is the most luxurious place in Qi Wenguo, I don't know if he can go there once in his lifetime?
Kong Chi sighed, turned and walked into the City Lord's Mansion.
