Chapter forty-three. Secret decree to

Seeing her draw her sword, the crowd around her screamed in alarm, and some even ran out to call the officials.

"What, the princess wants to kill me again?" Li Xianyuan stared at the girl with cold eyes, turning a blind eye to the edge.

Coming here, he felt angry for the first time.

He couldn't figure out why Princess Huiming was so unruly. If he didn't stop her just now, would she really dare to draw her sword and stab this innocent old man!?

Two burly men pushed their way through the crowd. Li Xianyuan noticed them, looked at them and shook his head slightly, telling them not to move rashly.

The two men looked at each other and had no choice but to pretend to be passers-by and watch.

These two people were presumably sent by the county magistrate to protect him. I thought the girl was Li Xianyuan's companion before. But when I saw the girl drawing her sword, I couldn't sit still.



He recognized the wrong person and thought I was a princess for some reason.

Wu Yi thought to herself, not noticing the surrounding incidents.

After thinking about this, she calmed down her murderous intention. They were just mortals anyway, and there was no point in killing them.

She didn't know the anger in Li Xianyuan's heart. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Li Xianyuan recognized her as the wrong person. Wu Yi became playful. He flipped the sword with his wrist and put it back into the scabbard. He hummed and put on airs: "You are right. I am tired now. Come on, take me back to my room."

Li Xianyuan ignored Wu Yi, who got angry again. He took the culprit, candied haws, and walked out of the crowd, paying no attention to her.

"Hey! You little slave, how dare you be so rude to me..." Wu Yi shouted and chased after her, and the crowd moved out of the way.

She was suddenly reluctant to kill Li Xianyuan. I wonder who among the teaching staff would dare to look down on her. Moreover, he always brought her new and interesting things.

As soon as Li Xianyuan walked out of the crowd, several officials rushed towards him. The leader, a tall official, was the person he had met several times.

"He stepped forward and clasped his fists: "Master Li, some people stopped us on the road and said that you were kidnapped by gangsters. My brother hurriedly brought people here...but this person!"

Officials came in a hurry. Looking at the people behind them, they all had evil faces and swords in their hands.

Afraid that the unruly princess behind him would draw his sword again, Li Xianyuan said: "There was a misunderstanding. Thank you for coming to help."

After her identity was revealed, the girl seemed to restrain herself a little. She stood next to Li Xianyuan with an arrogant expression and disdained to look at these people.

Wu Yi thinks that the princess is probably like this.

Hearing that it was a misunderstanding, several officers sheathed their swords. The tall officer looked at the girl and then at Li Xianyuan, showing a hint of understanding.

"You're so polite, Mr. Li. You scholars are the treasures of the county magistrate, especially Mr. Li. If you lose even one hair, the county magistrate will feel distressed for a long time." Li Xianyuan thanked the official, and the official hurriedly clasped his fists in return: "By the way, your lord, the county magistrate."

I'm still looking for you, it seems there's something important."

"Look for me..."

Li Xianyuan turned his head and looked at the girl, most likely it was related to Princess Huiming.

After explaining the matter, several officials left and went back to the streets to continue their inspection.

The victim left and the crowd gradually dispersed. This was just a daily episode, but it gave them some more jokes after dinner.

Li Xianyuan and the girl walked one behind the other, and soon arrived in front of the county government gate. Tall and majestic stone lions were on the left and right, roaring in anger.

It was less than two hours before I left.

"Why do you come to the government office?" the girl asked curiously.

"The county magistrate called me because I think it has something to do with you."

The girl rolled her eyes, stopped and said softly: "If I go in, you will definitely ask my father to send someone to take me back. I don't want it."

Wu Yi has fully assumed the role of princess.

Li Xianyuan looked at her. She had a naturally beautiful appearance, a bit naughty as an elf. A black robe covered her delicate body. She was fifteen or sixteen years old, and her petite figure was half a head shorter than Li Xianyuan. Her skin was like cream. If you put aside her bad and unruly temperament, she would be a pretty girl.

She is also a smart and cute girl.

"If you look again, I'll dig out your eyes." The girl wrinkled her nose with a sinister look on her face.

Li Xianyuan looked away and sighed in his heart. He thought she was cute and was having a trance.

Ignoring her, Li Xianyuan walked into the county government office alone. There was no one in the front hall, which seemed empty. He walked around the screen and came to the back hall, where he saw the county magistrate sitting on the master's chair, sipping good tea and looking very happy.

"Sir, you are looking for me."

Only then did Fang Xiancheng realize that Li Xianyuan was coming. He sat upright and waved to Li Xianyuan: "Come on, come on."

Li Xianyuan stepped forward, and Fang Xiancheng carefully brought a bundle on the table to Li Xianyuan. He looked at the way he handled it carefully, as if it contained a jade purification vase.

"Take it apart and see for yourself."

Li Xianyuan took it and opened it, and a touch of golden color came into view.

"Something from the palace?"

Fang Xian Cheng said lightly and nodded: "You have some discernment, that's right. Let me tell you, this thing was written by the emperor himself! The father-in-law who sent the secret decree is resting in the back room."

Imperial edicts must be received by the parties on their knees. However, secret edicts are not so troublesome. The father-in-law who delivered the edict had a good meal at the county government office and is now sleeping soundly.

Li Xianyuan took out the contents of the bag and found a foot-long piece of cloth. It was made of silk. The golden material was smooth and felt like a woman's skin. At first glance, it was not ordinary. At least the material of a child's robe could not compare with it.

As soon as it was unfolded, the words "Great Imperial Edict" came into view, but there was nothing else.

"Rebellion, rebellion." Fang County Prime Minister looked more anxious than Li Xianyuan, as if he was the one receiving the order.

Li Xianyuan turned over the imperial edict and saw eight small characters written on it with flying phoenixes.

If the princess goes, she can take care of herself.

Take care of yourself...

A sentence that is easy to do for oneself hides too many meanings. Shouldn't it be said that he is worthy of being an emperor and is inscrutable?

"What did the emperor say?" Fang Xian Cheng looked eager to see but didn't dare to.

"He told me to take care of myself."

"This..." Fang County Cheng was confused.

Li Xianyuan turned to ask: "Your Excellency, County Prime Minister, I still have one thing that I don't understand. It took a whole day to get the memorial less than half way. But this morning, you went to court early, and you will know the result in just a few moments. And the emperor's secret decree was revealed in the blink of an eye.

arrival……"

The county magistrate clarified Li Xianyuan's doubts: "These memorials and imperial edicts were transported by the General Administration Department. They took the official road and rode on a sweaty horse. But after all, they are mortal things. It takes three days to travel a thousand miles a day."

"But things like what I saw and heard in the early morning were sent to various places in Dashang through Skynet early."

"Skynet..." Li Xianyuan couldn't help but feel ridiculous. He wanted to complain. But now that his background was a fairy tale, it was difficult to speak.

"The Skynet is huge and sparse but not lost, so it is called Skynet." The county magistrate didn't know Li Xianyuan was entangled, so he explained: "I don't know much about the secret of Skynet. I only know that if there is an emergency in various places, it will come up within an hour or three.

Da Tian listens. And some trivial matters will not be sent to Xinjing by Skynet.

This is the so-called Skynet that is sparse and not leaking.

It seems that the moment Li Xianyuan composed the meteorological poem, the palace got the news. They were just waiting for the memorial to arrive before discussing it at court.
