The evil concubine of the fourth master of Qingchuan

Chapter 278
Because Prince Yong presided over the matter of recovering the money from the treasury, there was an uproar in the entire court, and almost everyone was in danger.

At this time, Nian Yaoyue was eating melon seeds and basking in the sun in the garden of Nianfu.

When Sanchao returned home, Fourth Master stayed with her for a day before rushing to run errands.

Yesterday was the first day to start pursuing the arrears. Fourth Master went to the residence of Prince Cheng and Elder Brother Ten to recover the arrears.

It turned out that Prince Sancheng had the pretext of compiling the book, so Lord Kangxi repaid the debt for him.

The old ten had no serious reason, sold his property in the street, beat the court officials, resisted to the end, and was finally imprisoned by the Sanzongren Mansion for half a year.

A group of other veterans went to Lord Kangxi and cried, and Lord Kangxi missed their old love and promised to pay off their debts.

So in the end, Emperor Kangxi compromised first, and simply asked the fourth master to suspend the errand of chasing the treasury silver.

So the fourth master was stern and selfless on the surface, but in the dark, he was too lazy to fish for fish and got lonely.

Nian Yaoyue originally planned to bond with the children, but she didn't want her three sons to be summoned by Lord Kangxi just after the Lantern Festival.

And little Gege was summoned by Concubine De to serve the Queen Mother on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

"What? Master is going to the Northwest to supervise the war?!" Nian Yaoyue depressedly threw the donkey meat on fire and threw it on the plate.

Obviously, Lord Kangxi has dozens of princes, why do the dirty work always have to be handed over to the fourth master?
"Well, the first time the fourteenth brother returned to the northwest to fight, Er Niang was worried, and asked the master to go to the northwest to help the fourteenth brother."

Now the army is mostly dominated by the prince's forces, and the fourteenth brother is too sharp, and Yinzhen is not at ease with him fighting alone on the battlefield.

With him helping the fourteenth brother, those confidantes of the prince would not be cruel to the fourteenth brother.

"Master blames me. If it wasn't for me... Fourteenth Master would not have voted for Babeile's camp. Instead, he would have separated from his own brother."

Over the years, Fourteenth Master has gotten closer to Babeile and Jiu Beizi. Although he has not explicitly opposed Fourth Master, he is always lukewarm to Fourth Master, not like a real brother at all.

"He is still young, and many things are easily deceived by his performance. Sooner or later, Yinzhen will understand that he and his eighth brother are all in collusion, just seeking skin from a tiger."

"I also need to go!"

In the northwest, there is not only the Fourteenth Master, but also her second brother, Nian Gengyao.

The second brother has been dealing with the rebels in Junggar on the Northwest battlefield all year round. The second brother left Beijing the day after Nian Yaoyue got married.

"Don't make trouble, women are not allowed on the battlefield! Otherwise, you will be dealt with by military law!" Yin Zhen sternly refused.

"Oh, then I'm going back to my mother's house. It's very boring to be alone in the house." The sly light in Nian Yaoyue's eyes flashed away.

"Don't try to disguise yourself and follow me quietly." Yinzhen could already see what she was thinking from Nian's every frown and smile.

"Four Roundworms" Nian Yaoyue was stunned, Fourth Master guessed her little thoughts all at once.

"Huh~" Yinzhen snorted arrogantly, he knew it!

In the following time, fourth master began to prepare the grain and grass to be transported to the northwest battlefield. By the time it was time to set off, it was already the end of November.

"Can't we leave after New Year's Eve?" Nian Yaoyue coquettishly hugged Fourth Master's arm.

"No, the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty swore to keep the mountains and rivers safe in the bitter cold of the northwest. How can I stay here for pleasure?"

Nian knew right and wrong best, and Yinzhen knew that she was just reluctant to talk about it.

"Then I'm going back to my mother's house, wait for you to come back and pick me up!"

"Okay, take good care of Erniang and the children~" Yinzhen stretched out his hand to caress Nianshi's cheek and said.

"Understood~" Nian Yaoyue pinched Fourth Master's cheek and watched him leave the palace.

She didn't tell fourth master, because her second elder brother had been fighting on the battlefield all year round, so her father and mother decided to go to the governor's mansion to celebrate the New Year with their second sister-in-law and nephews this year.

Fourth master is busy with state affairs, so Nian Yaoyue won't be held back by personal affairs.

When they arrived at the Nian Mansion, the carriage was already waiting at the gate of the mansion, waiting for her to meet up.

The eldest brother is the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so naturally he cannot leave the capital to go to Bashu, which is thousands of miles away.

At this time, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are recruiting people to load the gifts they have bought into the car.

Nian Yaoyue got into the spacious and warm carriage and sat between her parents.

"Eat it later, you still burn your mouth just out of the oven, you gluttonous girl~" Seeing that her daughter's hand was about to grab the charcoal-roasted chestnuts just out of the oven, Nian Xialing hurriedly reached out to stop her.

"Understood, she grabbed a piece of pastry and ate it with relish."

"Father, mother, sister, everything is ready, you go slowly along the way, don't hurry, remember to send a letter from home every few days to say you are safe~"

Nian Xiyao babbled on many things, and finally Nian Yaling impatiently asked the coachman to set off immediately.

The Nian family's carriage had just left Yanzhi Hutong, when several figures hiding in the shadows fled towards different directions.

But before they had gone far, there were a few suppressed screams, and the blood drops who were guarding in the dark dragged away the survivors and interrogated them one by one.

The fish that slipped through the net continued to track their whereabouts.

Nian Yaoyue didn't know that the blood drops had already taken care of her troubles, so she just leisurely followed her parents all the way south.

Little did they know that the second day after she left the capital, fourth master received the news that she had brought the second elder of the Nian family to Bashu.

Going south from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and entering the Yangtze River, the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains.

Parents are getting old, worrying that they will not be able to bear the hardships of traveling, Nian Yaoyue stops and starts all the way.In the end, I still couldn't arrive on New Year's Eve.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, building boats sailed on the Jialing River.

The second elder brother wrote to say that he would pick them up in Chengdu Mansion, and they would be able to go to Chengdu Mansion the next day.The second brother is back, does it mean that the fourth master may also come back from the battlefield?

There was no news about this man after he entered the battlefield, and he didn't know how to write a letter from home to report his safety. Nian Yaoyue wrote letters to Si Ye every now and then, but he didn't see a reply from Si Ye!
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the originally quiet river suddenly ignited a fire that soared into the sky.

"Why did the merchant ship in front suddenly catch fire? Jinyu, let them put down the raft to save people!"

By the moonlight, Nian Yaoyue saw many figures falling into the water on the merchant ship not far away, as well as the crying and screaming of adults and children.

"Master, something is wrong! The slaves saw a lot of masked men in black on the merchant ship, no, they are water bandits!! Turn off the lights, turn off the lights!!"

Jinyu exclaimed in amazement, lowered her voice and ordered the surrounding servants to immediately extinguish the lights on the upper boat.

"It's too late!! Ask a few skilled people to stay with my parents to protect them, and the rest will wait for the copycats! Get ready to fight!"

Their high-rise boats are more luxurious than the merchant ships, and the water bandits will set up spots in advance in a hundred days, so they must have been eyeing them long ago.

It's better to go out and give it a go than to be blinded by the lights and have no way to start.
