Chapter 270 Two Bonfires in the Mountains at Night
The night in the mountains is quiet and leisurely.
There are stars in the sky, accompanied by a crescent moon.
Occasionally, there was the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, the sound of gurgling water not far away, and the lingering aroma of barbecue filling the air.
Leng Rongyue sat by the campfire, holding a thin wooden stick in her hand, stirring the firewood in the fire.
The fire burned brighter.
Qingyi placed a few branches on the fire and sat next to Leng Rongyue.
Zi Yi took the water bag, took out a clean bamboo cup, poured water into it, and handed it to Leng Rongyue.
"Thank you!" Leng Rongyue said, taking the cup of water and taking two sips.
Whenever the people in blue and purple did something for Leng Rongyue, Leng Rongyue would always say thank you.
At first, they were very nervous about it, but gradually they got used to it.
They just felt that their little princess was different from other noble ladies. Their little princess was more kind and easy-going, and they liked her more.
“This mountain is truly a treasure mountain!
We have only been walking for a day and haven't really entered the deep mountains yet, but we have already seen so many precious medicinal herbs, and the quality looks really good!" Leng Rongyue said after taking a sip of water.
"That's right, miss.
Today, along the way, I have seen a lot of good medicinal herbs.
This is still a place where people can often go.
If several herbalists form a team, plus a few hunters, and everyone goes into the mountains together, I'm afraid the harvest will be considerable!" Zi Yi said.
"Your idea is good!" Leng Rongyue praised Zi Yi's words, "Herbalists can collect herbs, and hunters can hunt.
Everyone can gather together and go into the mountains, and the hunters can also protect the herbalists. Well, this idea is indeed good and we can try it.
After we get out of the mountains, we will ask the villagers of Dashi Village if they are willing to go into the mountains in this way?
If they are willing, that would be great.
We collect medicinal herbs and we also collect prey.
If this method works, Zi Yi will be credited with the achievement, and I will reward you!"
"Thank you in advance, young lady!" Zi Yi said with a smile.
"Hunters are hunters, and herbalists are herbalists. What are you thinking of bringing hunters and herbalists together to go into the mountains?" The man in green said with a smile while looking at the man in purple.
Zi Yi also laughed, "It was only when I saw us going into the mountains together that I thought of this.
Uncle Luo and Uncle Zhao are good at picking herbs. Look, their backpacks are almost full!
These are the medicinal herbs that are picked based on the best quality.
If you pick medicinal herbs whenever you see them, wouldn't you be able to pick more?
Also, although Blue and Green didn’t pick any herbs, they did hunt down several rabbits, pheasants, and the little deer.
The herbalists collected medicinal herbs, and the hunters hunted game. Isn’t that great?
At the stream not far away, Luo Yun and Shuanzi's father, who were washing medicinal herbs, and Blue Clothes and Green Clothes, who were skinning a fawn, all nodded in agreement.
However, Blue and Green looked at each other in secret, and Green stuck out his tongue playfully.
How could the two of them bring back so many things just by going out hunting?
If it is true, even they themselves will admire themselves!
This fawn, two hares and two pheasants were hunted by the prince and their secret guard brothers and given to them.
Elsewhere in the forest, Xiao Jingyu was also sitting by a campfire, stirring the fire with a long branch in his hand.
At this time, a figure flashed and said, "Your subordinate greets His Majesty!" The man stepped forward and saluted.
"Forget it. Any news from the capital?" Xiao Jingyu asked.
"Yes!" the man responded, reached out and took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Xiao Jingyu.
Xiao Jingyu took it and unfolded it.
The news came from Tayun who stayed in the capital. He briefly recounted what happened after the Qinxing Marquis's Mansion was robbed.
The Marquis Qinxing's mansion was completely robbed, and everyone in the mansion was in chaos;
Leng Xian missed the court session again, so the emperor first sent Eunuch Yu to investigate the situation, and then sent eunuch Xiao Dongzi to convey the emperor's order.
Because Leng Xian missed the court again and forgot to ask for leave again, the emperor once again issued an order to punish him -
Considering that the mansion of the marquis was completely robbed, the original fine of half a year's salary was waived, and only twenty strokes of the cane were added. After Leng Xian recovered from his illness and returned to court, he would receive the same eleven strokes of the cane as before.
However, the emperor did not mention the previous three-month salary deduction, so it remains the same.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyu smiled. His father was doing things more and more in line with his wishes.
Emperor Hong De, who was far away in the palace, didn't know that his beloved son had given him a "Satisfied Dad Card"!
Xiao Jingyu looked down again.
What follows is that shop owners and clerks from many shops in the capital went to the mansion of Marquis Qinxing to ask for the settlement of old debts. These people directly blocked the gate of the mansion and attracted a large number of people to watch.
Furthermore, the news of the theft in Marquis Qinxing’s mansion had spread throughout the capital.
Also spreading throughout the capital was the news of Leng Xian, the Marquis of Qinxing, and especially his vicious second wife and children, as well as Leng Xian's mother, how they had always treated and abused the little princess, the eldest daughter of the royal family.
Now in the capital, whether in taverns, teahouses or on the streets, people are talking about the affairs of the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion.
People were cursing their father's ruthlessness, their stepmother's cruelty, the old lady's partiality, and the bad nature of Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang, the two little beasts!
Nowadays, even the servants in the Marquis Qinxing’s mansion who went to the drugstore to buy some medicine would flee in panic like rats crossing the street!
Finally, it was also mentioned that the second wife Yin had a conflict with Leng Xian, and they fought each other. In a fit of anger, she took her two children back to her parents' home.
However, the mother and her two children, all wearing only servants' clothes, were unsurprisingly treated coldly by the greedy and powerful Yin family.
