C117 (1/2)

The imperial government sent a messenger to deliver the relief money to the Jing Prefecture personally. However, an accident happened midway and a boat was robbed by a bunch of water bandits on the waterway, so more than half of the relief money was taken away. Therefore, the silver that was sent to the Jing Prefecture could be said to be like a cup of water that had just been poured, hence the His Majesty decided to dispatch another messenger to the Jing Prefecture.

As long as one was not stupid, one could tell that this was clearly not a good job. Right now, the waterway was not peaceful, and they even dared to snatch the official ship sent by the imperial government, if they lost their lives because of this, they would be very wronged. So recently, the ministers of the Imperial Court had been very obedient, afraid that the His Majesty would take a fancy to them and send them to the unlucky Jing Prefecture to rescue the disaster.

If there was no official ship being robbed, they would probably want to snatch it. But now, no matter who they wanted to go to, whoever they wanted to go to, His Majesty saw that they were unwilling and assigned a few more people, all of them being pushed aside for various reasons. In the end, when His Majesty looked around, he saw that only Gu Yun was left, so he ordered to go to Jing Prefecture to help out the disaster.

In other words, he could take the chance to train himself. His Majesty had only sent him there because he had set his eyes on Gu Yun, and it was just that Lord Gu was newly wedded, just in case something bad happened to him, wouldn't that be a sin? Furthermore, with Lord Gu's physique, how could he withstand such a bumpy journey?

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, His Majesty decided to send Sheng Luan to accompany his. With General Sheng accompanying his, this trip would be a lot safer, as long as no accidents happened to Gu Yun, he would be able to return eventually, and even Xie Cen would not be able to say anything else. Thus, this matter was settled, time was of the essence, and they had to set off in three days.

When Gu Yun left, Xie Jingxi got busy. She left in such a hurry that shshehad to prepare everything in one go, and it was unknown how many months she would need to prepare all her clothes for the winter. It was just that because he was on duty and also going to provide relief, he could not bring too much along the way, it truly worried Xie Jingxi to death.

Gu Yun picked up Xie Jingxi who was in a hurry and placed him on the bed, ”I'll leave these matters to Fang Dai and Ming Yu. Just look at how worried you are, it's not like I haven't left my house, I don't need to bring much stuff with me, at most, I'll be back in two to three months, it'll be quick.”

Under these two months of smooth sailing, who knows what kind of problems they would encounter on the way back and they would have to delay it. It would be good enough for them to be able to return before the end of the year, but seeing that she was still gloomy, Gu Yun teased her, ”Are you not willing to let me out? How about I consult the His Majesty and bring my family to provide assistance? ”

Xie Jingxi rolled his eyes, ”Are you joking? You are a honest man, if others can push you, you can't. I don't believe that I can't find an official in the imperial court.”

”You, luckily you didn't become a His Majesty, or else you must have been an idiot. Who would only be oriented towards their own people, you have to go no matter who you send.” Gu Yun held her face and wanted to kiss her, but he dodged to the side, causing Gu Yun to be helpless, ”Isn't there still Sheng Luan here? I guarantee that if there's some trouble, I will let him go on top of it, I will definitely hide behind him, in any case, I have a wife who is in pain, Xi won't let me get out of everything, so what can I do about it?”

Xie Jingxi smacked him in the face, ”Just be honest with me, anyway you just need to give them money, if you can ignore those water thieves, if they want to snatch it, give them money and escape.”

”In your eyes, your husband will be so useless, he will only try to run away with his arms around your head. Even if I am willing, the General Sheng will not do it, he is a person who only cares about his face and not his life. If I admit defeat, he might just kill me first, you've probably never seen Sheng Luan fighting before, that little water thief is simply not a threat to me, it's fine.”

After all, no matter what Gu Yun said, Xie Jingxi just did not let it go. Words like 'righteous and loyal heart for the nation' were thrown away like a pair of old shoes, whoever he loved could go, as long as Gu Yun came back with everything he had.

Seeing that she was being too coaxing, Gu Yun immediately closed the tent curtains and turned off the lights to go to sleep. He pressed his into his embrace and kissed his as if he had gotten his wish, ”Since Xi is unwilling, then the most important thing is to feed his until he is full …”

It didn't matter who fed whom. In any case, Gu Yun's strategy was just to ensure that he wouldn't wake up on the day he left. He didn't really like sending his off, and he knew that she probably didn't like it either.

Once Gu Yun left, Xie Jingxi's heart suddenly felt empty and empty, she pondered about how after she had finished checking up on her these few days, she would move to the Villa to live until the end of the year. As for the matter of Marquis Mansion, Aunt Fang would just let her handle it if she wanted to, but if Xie Jingxi wanted to calm down, Aunt Fang would definitely not.

The leader of the Wang Fu family said: ”Grand Mistress, what do you think she is? She is not some proper steward, why are you pointing fingers at us, I can let you take a look at my monthly bills, what does she want it for, in other words, the cost of each month's money is too high, she can save as much as she can, if she can't buy something unnecessary, she is so capable, why can't she just go out and buy it herself!”
