The Peasant Girl's Glory

Chapter 299 Coaxing
Yan Fengzhu raised her head timidly, seeing Xiao Junyan opening the cabinet door, she twisted her body to get out of the narrow cabinet.

"Don't move! It'll be bad if someone finds out!"

Xiao Junyan hurriedly reached out and grabbed her calf, restraining her from moving, with a hint of warning in her voice.

But the more she ordered, the more the woman moved. Because of her nervousness and resistance, she was breathing heavily, almost panting and desperately trying to break off his fingers.

Xiao Junyan turned to bring the cakes on the table to her, picked up a chestnut cake and handed it to Yan Fengzhu, coaxing:
"As long as you stay in there obediently, and when you leave the city, the rest will be eaten for you!"

Seeing this, Yan Fengzhu grabbed the chestnut cake and immediately stuffed it into her mouth.

Seeing that she didn't move, Xiao Junyan released the hand that was holding her, and gently closed the cabinet door again.

It was still early, and there were not many pedestrians entering and leaving the city, and soon it was the turn of Xiao Junyan's carriage.

The carriage stopped, and the guards who followed took out a black iron token, "The Holy One has a purpose, let Xiao Junyan leave the city today, go to the frontier, and make way!"

The guard glanced at the token, and immediately took the guards on both sides out of the middle avenue, bowing his head in a respectful salute.

"go!"

The leading man of the Guards shouted loudly, and the carriage continued to move forward, a little faster than before.

Because the carriage suddenly restarted, Yan Fengzhu, who was hiding in the cabinet, was caught off guard, her forehead slammed against the cabinet door, and there was a loud "dong" sound.

"what sound?"

The guards of the Princess' Mansion and the city gate guard who were standing on one side would look at each other, and soon strode closer to the carriage.

At the same time, Xiao Junyan in the carriage frowned displeasedly, his face was solemn, and his palm was secretly pressed on his forehead.

This stupid woman, who is making trouble for him, doesn't stop for a moment!
In just a moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the guards of the princess' palace and the gatekeeper of the city gate swept the carriage up, down, left and right with sharp eyes like eagles.

Xiao Junyan raised his head and looked over with no difference in expression, revealing just the right amount of redness on his fair forehead:
"Wake up too early in the morning, it will be a little sleepy, I just want to sleep and go back to sleep, and I don't want to be disturbed by my dreams."

He was sitting there, his posture was obviously casual, and his smile was lazy, which made people feel inexplicably sinister.

The city gate guard's dark eyes were unclear, and he slowly said, "It's all at this time, and I'm still in a good mood to sleep. Lord Hou is so open-minded."

He heard that yesterday the princess sent people to Zhenguohou's mansion to move things and dowry back to the princess' mansion.

Looking at this Xiao Junyan now, it looks like nothing, and his face is really thicker than the city wall.

"Commander Mu's words are wrong. Thunder and rain are all the grace of the king and the will of God."

Xiao Junyan yawned, slowly reached out and took the blue porcelain saucer on the table, lifted the teapot and poured a glass of water:

"But it's really too boring to be alone in this carriage. It's better to be like this. Commander Mu came up to have a cup of tea with me, and you should relax."

"I will still have important things to do, I will not accompany you, so I will leave!" The city gate guard finished his words and was about to turn around and walk towards the city gate.

The carriage in front of him stepped out suddenly, and the horse's hooves kicked up dust and slapped him in the face.

"Cough cough", the guard was choked up and coughed several times, spat out the sand in his mouth, and scolded at the back of the carriage:

"A guilty person, what is the prestige? I bah!"

Out of the city, the carriage reeled forward, galloping all the way, and soon it was out of the boundary of the capital.

Xiao Junyan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes, his face slightly grim.

He has been planning for many years, and he will never allow himself to fall short. Even if he kills everyone at all costs, he will snatch back what he deserves.

***
King Xian and Princess Rongle of Beiqiang finally got married.

This big wedding has been prepared for nearly half a year, and everything was witnessed by Concubine Qi, the mother of the virtuous king. Because of the marriage between the two countries, the Ministry of Rites was trembling and walking on thin ice. It is knitted stitch by stitch with the best embroidery girl in Jiangnan.

In the early morning of this day, there were bursts of joy in the streets, gongs and drums were loud, and people were full of voices.

King Xian's former mansion has been refurbished and has a new look inside and out.

In the hall, the men were very lively, and Shen Furong brought October and Li Yeyu to the main hall.

At this time, a lot of powerful and powerful women's family members had come. When everyone saw Shen Furong saying hello, they went to talk to each other. Shen Furong didn't want to chat with them.

The sun is high, and the auspicious time will soon arrive.

"The auspicious time has come, the newcomers are invited to worship heaven and earth..."

With a long shout from the etiquette officer, a couple of newlyweds slowly appeared at the door, surrounded by the crowd, walking slowly from far to near on the red carpet laid out all the way to the door.

Shen Furong settled down and stopped to look.

I saw Rongle dragging a long wedding dress, wearing a thick and gorgeous phoenix crown, clinging to the end of the red flower silk and satin, and slowly walked in.

Although he couldn't see his face because of the red hijab on his head, he could imagine that the face inside must be extremely beautiful today.

For some reason, Shen Furong's eyes got wet.

In any case, the wedding day is the most important moment in a woman's life. Although she is not optimistic about this marriage, she still sincerely wishes Rongle a happy life and a smooth life.

"Madam, when people come, they will hide among the guests." At this moment, Li Yeyu suddenly whispered in Shen Furong's ear.

"Is he Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry?"

Shen Furong hurriedly followed Li Yeyu's point and saw a middle-aged man with a different look in the crowd.

It's just that she didn't expect that the other party would be such a person with a clean face, elegant white clothes, and a person full of weak bookishness.

She showed a little surprise, but quickly covered it up and replied in a low voice, "Don't act rashly, look at the situation first."

Seeing Li Yeyu nodding, Shen Furong looked at the man hidden in the crowd again.

Just a few nights ago, Shitou reported to her that Qingfenglou had sent back a message from the hidden pile on Beishan Road, saying that Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, who was in charge of mining matters, took advantage of his position to hoard a large amount of saltpeter.

The Ministry of Industry also collects some saltpeter to make ice to cool off the heat on weekdays, but what is Liu Shilang doing by stealing so much saltpeter?
Shen Furong was surprised when Shi Daoming was Liu Shilang's identity, but she soon understood.

Saltpeter has many uses, and when these raw materials are gathered together, a powerful gunpowder can be made.

As for what to do with gunpowder, you only need to think of his identity, and you can spy on it.

This Minister of Industry Liu Shilang is none other than the elder brother of the deceased Princess Xian.

I heard that the two brothers and sisters grew up together since childhood and have a deep relationship.

At the beginning, Princess Xian, who had always been healthy, suddenly died suddenly. Her family rushed to the land of King Xian to go to the funeral, but the person was already buried in the coffin...

Even an outsider like her noticed that something was wrong. Her brother had always been close to her, and it was impossible for her to be ignorant. She appeared here today to avenge her sister...
