A mercenary in the world, a ruthless concubine

Chapter 57
At dawn the next morning, they packed their bags and continued towards Cangzhou.

At the same time, there was a box of unknown origin in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Yundu, on which was written profusely: "Prime Minister's Invitation", in four large characters.

The butler who opened the door was still heavy, so he frowned and went to the prime minister's study.

Wan Mingyuan slept in the study room last night because he was late to deal with official business, and was currently putting on the court clothes under the service of his servants.

The butler stood at the door and said, "Master, this is a box left at the door just now, and it is said that you should open it yourself."

Wan Mingyuan looked at the box with Yinzhi's eyes. The purple-red box looked ordinary, but it was made of rare rosewood.

Who would give such a precious thing, and what kind of rare treasures would it contain?

Putting on his imperial uniform, he walked over, thinking that maybe some official wanted to curry favor with his gift, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face when he thought about it.

He has never had too much preference for money, what he wants is power, enough power to reach heaven and earth.

After receiving the box, it felt quite heavy, and I stretched out my hand to open it slowly.

"Mingyuan, why haven't you gone to court yet?" At this time, the old lady who was used to getting up early, Wan Mingyuan's mother came over with a cane.

Wan Mingyuan saluted respectfully, he had full respect for his mother: "Why did mother come here at this time?"

"I saw the housekeeper rushing over with a box just now, so I'll see if something happened." The old lady had kind eyes and looked like a very easy-going person.

Wan Mingyuan smiled slightly and handed the box over: "I guess it will be a gift from some official, but my son refused to leave it at the door."

The old lady shook her head and said: "Our family has been loyal for generations, you must not be bribed..."

Coughed a little excitedly.

Wan Mingyuan immediately knelt down: "Mother, don't worry, my son will not dare to insult the reputation of his ancestors."

Finally, the old lady calmed down.

"That's good, open it to see who it is from, and remember to send it back after confirmation."

Wan Mingyuan turned around and wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and reached out to open the rosewood box.

Everyone was very curious about this box, and craned their necks to look over it. The old lady frowned, thinking that it must not be something rebellious.

When the box was opened, a strong smell of blood rushed over. Wan Mingyuan couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw the thing. What he saw in front of him was a human head, a head of a person who was dying.

"Ah... it's a human head..." A few timid servants couldn't help running away after being hit like this.

The owner of this head, Wan Mingyuan, naturally knew it. He was the leader of one of the killer teams he sent out.

Upon hearing this, the old lady pushed Wan Mingyuan away to see what happened.

"Mother, don't..."

Before she finished speaking, the old lady looked at the terrifying head and twitched in fright.

Wan Mingyuan was taken aback: "Mother, what's wrong with you, don't scare your son!"

In just a moment, the old lady was motionless, her breathing stopped and her eyes rolled upwards, she was already dead.

The situation took a turn for the worse, everyone didn't care about being frightened by that head, and ran away one by one: "The old lady has gone..."

Only Wan Mingyuan looked coldly at the head that fell on the ground, still holding the old lady's body that was already starting to feel cold.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Qian Lingjue, I will make you pay the price!"

Obviously, he put all the responsibility on Qian Lingjue, and even forgot that this killer was the one he sent to kill.

Three days later, Qian Lingjue and the others entered the territory of Cangzhou.

Cangzhou is located in the north, and the air is extremely dry. The bitter wind makes people's cheeks hurt, and the temperature is much lower than before.

"Jue, I want to look outside." Su Luo looked at him pitifully, since the temperature suddenly dropped a day ago, Qian Lingjue asked her to stay in the carriage and never let her out.

She heard the sound of white snow in her ears, and she wanted to look around, this snowy scene in the sky.

but……

Looking helplessly at the man in white clothes Shengxue in front of her, she can only hide in the corner.

Qian Lingjue raised his head, his charming eyes were full of teasing: "Madam, are you seducing my husband?"

In a word, Su Luo wanted to tear his face apart, but she only had to think about her own strength and she still had self-knowledge. If she did it herself, she would have sent herself to the door again.

In the past few days on the road, this man is as if he has been beaten with chicken blood. He will take a lot of money when he gets the chance, regardless of the occasion or time...

The problem is that every time he appears in front of everyone with a helpless face, it makes those people think that she is the rhythm of the overlord.

She can only cry without tears...

After walking for another half a day, there was not only the sound of wheels pressing against the snow outside the car, but also a little crying mixed with painful moans.

Su Luo's heart tightened, he got out from the fox fur, and lifted the heavy curtain.

There was devastation in front of my eyes, and the houses in the good towns were crushed by the snow. Many people kept digging the thick snow, crying and digging the blood on the hands of many people, forming a striking grief on the snow-white ground.

Looking up and looking into the distance, the sky is a vast expanse of white snow-capped mountains, so beautiful and magnificent as far as the eye can see, which is in stark contrast to the sorrow of these people down the mountain.

"Is this the scene of the snow disaster?" She murmured.

Qian Lingjue wrapped her cloak tightly, looked at the heavy reality in front of her, and said with a sigh: "Yes, this is a snow disaster! Many people in Cangzhou City lived on the snow mountain and now they are dying because of the snow mountain, how sad! "

"I want to save them." The voice couldn't help but sounded.

She was born as the number one killer of mercenaries, and she used to regard human life as nothing, but when she saw that the simple people became so desolate because of God's lack of favor, she wanted to save them.

Qian Lingjue pressed a kiss between her eyebrows, her firm tone was unquestionable: "Luo Er, don't worry, we will do our best to save them."

Not long after they entered the Cangzhou Hotel, it was fortunate that there was a small amount of snow later, and the person who escorted the gold had arrived here first, and it was ready for people to live after cleaning.

"The final general will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." This time Ji Changyu personally escorted the batch of gold, and he had been waiting for two days again.

At this time, his face was serious. In the past two days, she has seen all the difficulties here. Almost all the food and water have been covered by heavy snow. Now she can only barely rely on some food and some dry firewood to heat the snow water. Those who were covered under the snow were even more miserable. Some of them were obviously not dead, but they were all frozen to death because they could not be rescued in time.

Qian Lingjue waved his hand lightly: "Excuse me, how is the situation now?"

"It's very bad. The area of ​​the snow disaster is very large. Almost the entire city of Cangzhou was affected, and even many small villages outside the city were not spared. So this time it is estimated..." Ji Changyu said with difficulty, this time, could a little silver and gold be enough? fixed.

"Don't tell me what to expect. Bengong came here to save them." He said coldly.

Su Luo got out of the car, his cold eyes flashed a trace of unbearable: "Jue, we have to ensure that these victims have food to eat, those gold piles are useless here, we must go out immediately to buy enough food and clothes and firewood, and I fear the death toll will increase in the cold."

Ji Changyu frowned, but finally bowed to salute, but the look of disdain in his eyes did not escape Su Luo's eyes.

She doesn't want to argue with him, it's not a good thing to have internal strife at this time.

"The Crown Princess' words are my own words, so don't carry them out!" Seeing that he had no intention of carrying them out, Qian Lingjue's tone became cold and hard.

Ji Changyu agreed, turned around and went to the warehouse.

Holding her cold hand, the temperature here is really cold. Su Luo estimated that it was only two or three degrees below zero. Many of the disaster victims just wore simple warm clothes and couldn't resist the strong cold wind.

"Let's go out and have a look!" Su Luo suggested.

"it is good!"

The two walked out of the hotel hand in hand, only Du Yun and Qing Ning followed behind them.

At this time, it was in the Prince Yu's mansion.

Looking at the secret letter that was just delivered, Gu Li couldn't help but burst into laughter: "It really didn't take much effort to get here!"

Jing Qingtian, the counselor at the side, asked curiously: "I don't know what news is conveyed in this secret letter that makes you so happy."

Gu Li stood up, tall and tall, with a shrewd light shining in his deep, dark eyes: "That sick child, Qian Lingjue, actually asked for an order to go to Cangzhou to help the victims. Do you think this is a great opportunity for me to destroy the heir of Yunguo?" , and there is this letter..."

Reaching out his hand to take out another letter from his sleeve pocket, Jing Qingtian was shocked when he saw the name on the letter paper: "Prime Minister Yunguo?!"

Gu Li smiled coldly: "Yes, Wan Mingyuan wants to make a deal with Ben Gong. As long as I help him get rid of Qian Lingjue, in the future, when Qian Yufan succeeds to the throne, it will be a gift from ten cities."

"Wouldn't it be too cheap? Wan Mingyuan, if there is no Yunguo for Qian Lingjue, we don't need to be afraid at all." He said disdainfully.

Gu Li nodded: "Qian Lingjue has endured for ten years, but no one can notice it. If it weren't for Wan Mingyuan, the letterhead palace would have almost forgotten the sick prince of Yunguo. I really want to see this person's current strength. how?"

Jing Qingtian smiled evilly: "Then you have agreed to Prime Minister Wan's request!"

"Hahaha..." Gu Li smiled domineeringly: "This little city just wants to send me away, and Wan Mingyuan underestimates me too much."

"I don't know, what is His Highness the Crown Prince's next plan?" Jing Qingtian cupped his hands and asked.

Gu Li's eyes darkened: "First send someone to test Qian Lingjue's depth, I am very curious how powerful such a man will be."

"Yes!" Jing Qingtian stepped back.

Gu Li looked at the yellow wintersweet outside the window, and was a little dazed: "The game is really getting more and more fun, but you are gone, Meier!"

Bowing his head and turning around, the momentary loneliness disappeared, and he was still the scheming prince of Yu Country.
