The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses

Chapter 384: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (18)

Duanmu Ci squeezed his horse's belly and took two steps forward, looking at the leading man with sharp eyes, and his full momentum was instantly released.

He shouted, "Where are you from? How dare you rob people on the road?"

The farmers were frightened by the Prince of Xiping's aura, and they were trembling like sieves. It was said that this gentleman grew up on horseback before he was 15 years old, and killing people was as easy as cutting melons for him.

The leading farmer could not bear the pressure and knelt on the ground with a plop. "My Lord, we are so hungry.

We have almost eaten all the tree bark on the mountain. Please be kind and help us. Give us some so that we can have a full meal. It won’t be too late to kill us later.”

Duanmu Ci frowned. When did the people of Jiangzhou become so poor? Last year, the harvest was poor, so he reduced taxes.

Yan Xue heard the previous conversation and winked at Bao Ya.

Baoya took a few steps forward and spoke to the people kneeling on the ground,

"Our princess asked, where are you farmers from? What happened?"

When the farmers heard that it was the Princess who spoke, they immediately kowtowed three more times. One of the older men replied,

"In reply to the Princess, I am a farmer from Hui County. We have suffered from a severe drought this year, and the harvest was very poor.

Later, the village was robbed again, and all the food in our house was taken away. We really had no other options.

I heard that Jiangzhou was a prosperous place, so I brought my whole family here.

We haven't eaten for two days, please have mercy on us, Princess!" After saying this, he kowtowed again.

Baoya nodded and said, "How many people are there among you?"

The man hurriedly said, "To reply to the princess, there are 125 people in total, and 13 children."

Baoya nodded, turned back to the carriage, and walked back again in an instant, saying to everyone,

"Our princess said that we will give each of you a steamed bun first. Five miles east of here, there is a farm. You can go there to find Manager Cai.

As long as you have a clean background, he will arrange a job for you. If you have done something wrong and are found out, you can be sent to the authorities. Of course, if you have a better way out, you don’t have to go.”

Hearing this, the farmers kowtowed and expressed their gratitude, saying that they were willing to go to the farm.

When Duanmu Ci heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise.

He secretly admired in his heart: his young princess was really powerful. She resolved the crisis so easily.

Yan Xue was sitting in the carriage, feeling as happy as a blooming flower.

"I'm really sleepy, give me a pillow!"

A few days ago, she just bought a farm and was worried about not being able to find someone to help her cultivate the land.

Unexpectedly, someone actually came to my door today.

At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky. Yan Xue looked up and found that the sky was covered with dark clouds and it was about to rain heavily.

Duanmu Ci looked at the sky and ordered the carriage to speed up.

But when they had driven less than a mile, heavy rain began to pour down.

The guards put on their raincoats one after another. Duanmu Ci was secretly delighted when he saw this. He finally had a reason to get on the carriage.

He got into the car slowly, his clothes were already mostly wet from the rain.

After seeing this, Yan Xue picked up a handkerchief and threw it to him, "Are you stupid? Don't you know to run when it rains?"

Duanmu Ci took the handkerchief, wiped the rain off his body casually, and replied nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, the weather is hot now anyway, so it's a good opportunity to cool down."

Since they were travelling light this time, the carriage was not very spacious. After Duanmu Ci got on board, the already small space became even more cramped.

Seeing this, the two maids walked to the back of the carriage and sat down.

"Take off your coat and change into something else quickly. It's easy to catch a cold in the summer."

Duanmu Ci took off his coat in two or three moves. He naturally brought spare clothes with him when he went out. After changing his clothes, he sat next to the girl.

As soon as Yan Xue raised her head, she could see the handsome face close to her. The man's face was slightly covered with water droplets, making him look even more charming.

She looked at the man's wet hair still stuck to his face, raised her hand and gently brushed it away. She stared at the man's bright-eyed face quietly.

I couldn't help but feel amazed. This man is so handsome! It would be a pity if I could only look at him but not eat him.

Duanmu Ci also felt the girl's gaze, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

He reached out and picked up a cup of tea on the table and handed it to the girl, "Xue'er, come, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Yan Xue took the teacup, took a sip, and then put it back on the table.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly tilted and the body shook violently. Duanmu Ci reacted quickly and hugged the girl tightly.

"Are you okay?" he asked with concern.

Yan Xue looked at the man's worried eyes and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She shook her head gently and said, "I'm fine."

Qin Leng, who was driving, heard the noise and immediately asked, "Prince, are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's keep going." Duanmu Ci replied indifferently.

The man felt the softness of the girl's body and was reluctant to let go. "Xue'er, more than a month has passed. Is the test not over yet?"

Yan Xue raised her head and looked at the man with eyes full of tenderness and love.

She kissed the man's chin gently, "This is a reward for you. You have been performing well recently."

Brilliant fireworks suddenly exploded in Duanmu Ci's mind, and his heart was filled with joy.

He lowered his head, kissed the girl's forehead tenderly, and then held her tightly in his arms.

He was filled with satisfaction, but at the same time he also felt a little aggrieved.

A whole month had passed, and just when I smelled some meat and was about to act coquettishly again, I heard the voices outside again.

"Prince, the rain is getting heavier, let's find a place to hide from the rain!"

After hearing this, Yan Xue nodded thoughtfully and turned to look at Duanmu Ci.

She whispered, "There is a Jingtai Villa one mile to the west. We can go there to take shelter from the wind."

After hearing this, Duanmu Ci immediately ordered the large army to march westward.
