After travelling for three days, he estimated that he would arrive at Henan Province in less than two days. Although the Henan Province was located in the Northwest Wasteland, it was still a fortress, and was just a few cities away from the Beidou. Now that the Henan Province was in chaos, if they were to be invaded and instigated by the Beidou, they could only fear danger. To be able to send Lv Wen Hao here to suppress them, the chaos must be severe.

On the endless loess, desolate and desolate, one would suddenly hear a wave of wailing, vaguely mixed with the sharp and clear cry of a baby.

"Zhao Xi, what's going on up ahead?" Ling Xuan Su asked puzzledly.

Zhao Xi squinted to look towards the origin of the voice and reported: "Seems to be a group of refugees."

"Let's go take a look." Ling Xuan Su instructed.

The further they walked, the more they cried, more and more concentrated. Looking around, there were around a hundred men, women, and children. Their faces were yellow and skinny, and their clothes were tattered. The slightly more muscular man was plowing the weeds on the ground, filling up the hunger of the child.

Ling Xuan Su jumped down the carriage, stood in front of a woman, and asked softly: "Where are you guys from?"

"We escaped from Henan Province." The woman replied weakly.

"Henan Province? I heard that the Emperor has already sent the Lord Grand Commandant to suppress the riots, why are you still running? " Dan Qing Han asked in confusion.

A tanned man who had been paged said angrily: "Even if this Grand Commandant came, he only sealed the city gates and planned to use violence to suppress and suppress us innocent citizens. Those mobs were not afraid of death, and the soldiers were all afraid of it, almost unable to suppress it. If the entire city is massacred, we innocent civilians will have no choice but to run, otherwise we will only end up as ghosts under the blades of the mob and soldiers. "

"Zhao Xi, quickly distribute the food on the carriage to them." Hearing that, Dan Qing Han felt that the situation in the Henan Province was extremely bad, she frowned and ordered, then looked at Ling Xuan Su and asked: Do you have money with you?

Ling Xuan Su saw through her intentions with a glance, and lowered his voice: "I only brought a few golden beans with me, that's our trap, I can't …"

Ling Xuan Su had not even finished speaking, when Dan Qing Han had already reached into his clothes to dig, and he immediately grabbed at the wild hand, but his movements was too fast, and instantly took his money pouch out of his pocket.

"Dan Qing Han! That's my money! " Ling Xuan Su threw himself at her, wanting to take back the money bag from her hands.

Seeing him pounce at her, Dan Qing Han dodged to the side and laughed: "What's yours is mine." Thus, she opened the money pouch and saw a bag of golden beans. She took out one from inside and said to Ling Xuan Su: "I see you're pitiful. He threw the beans at him.

Ling Xuan Su steadily caught it, but had no choice but to stand there shaking his head in anger, "Alright, then quickly scatter all your money away. I'll see what you eat and live on the way here, and at that time, don't cry and shout that you're wrong! I won't pity you! "

"Qing Han, I was wrong!" Outside a restaurant in a small town, Ling Xuan Su pulled on Dan Qing Han's sleeves, trying to curry favor with him.

"Hmm? Crown Prince was wrong? " Dan Qing Han allowed him to tug at his sleeves with disdain.

"I shouldn't be so stingy. Those victims need money to save their lives more than us." At this time, Ling Xuan Su seemed to have lost his temper and continued to smile obsequiously at Dan Qing Han.

"Alright, seeing that you admit your wrongs and performed well, I'll reluctantly bring you out for a meal." As he spoke, he strode towards the restaurant.

Zhao Xi, who was at the side, pursed his lips and laughed. On the way, although he was in a hurry, he could still hear the sounds of Ling Xuan Su and Dan Qing Han quarreling, and every time, it was Ling Xuan Su who was so angry that he was at a loss for words.

Just like this time, Dan Qing Han gave all the golden beans on Ling Xuan Su's body to the refugees, and even took back the last golden bean that was left to him. Ling Xuan Su's skills were not as good as hers, so naturally he could only watch as the golden bean left him.

After separating from the refugees, Ling Xuan Su was so angry that he did not speak for an entire day, and also ignored Dan Qing Han.

However, Dan Qing Han acted as if nothing had happened. When she was passing by the Nether Water Town, she instructed her to stop the carriage, and took out a silver note of 100 taels and threw it in front of them. "Zhao Xi, after travelling for an entire day, let's go have a feast."

At that time, Ling Xuan Su was already dumbstruck, seeing his stunned look, Zhao Xi wanted to burst out laughing, it had been so many years, but it was her first time seeing a dignified Crown Prince like him, it seemed like Dan Qing Han was the only person in the world who had the ability to treat Ling Xuan Su.

After entering the tavern, the three of them found a place to sit down. Ling Xuan Su glared at Dan Qing Han, word by word, gritting her teeth: "Despicable, cunning, shameless!"

Dan Qing Han asked: "How am I despicable, cunning, and shameless?"

"You are despicable everywhere, treacherous everywhere, shameless everywhere!"

"Alright, Crown Prince, since we still have money, let's not bother about it anymore." Zhao Xi took the opportunity to stop him from roaring.

"Tell me, she clearly has money, why did she use my golden beans to scatter to the refugees? I'll be the good one, but you'll be the evil one. How despicable! " Ling Xuan Su slammed the table forcefully, but before he could recover from his anger, he felt someone from behind lightly pat his shoulder.

"I never thought that I would meet Crown Prince here." The warm and pure voice doused Ling Xuan Su's anger.

Ling Xuan Su turned his head, only to see that the person who had arrived, had retracted the anger on his face and revealed a gentle smile: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Senior Duan." As he spoke, he invited him to take a seat opposite to him.

Dan Qing Han's sharp gaze followed the figure that sat down, her eyes filled with an indescribable iciness.

He also felt Dan Qing Han's gaze and tilted her head in confusion. When he saw her fierce gaze, he was a little astonished.

"This is the imperial court's attendant, Duan Shao." Ling Xuan Su introduced his identity, and also reminded the absent-minded Dan Qing Han.

Dan Qing Han retracted the sharpness in her eyes, and lightly smiled: "The daughter of the little Jiangzhou, Dan Qing Han."

After the waiter served the dishes, Ling Xuan Su and Duan Shao chatted happily, and was very familiar with each other.

Dan Qing Han understood, back then Crown Prince was a benefactor to Duan Shao, and Duan Shao had always been a disciple whom Crown Prince trusted. As Prince Yu's Mansion and Crown Prince Palace were close, it was not strange for Ling Xuan Su to be on good terms with Duan Shao. But now that the Prince Yu's Mansion had started to alienate the Crown Prince, this Duan Shao should be disgusted with the King Yu for being two-faced and three-faced, why was he talking to Ling Xuan Su instead?

"Aren't you hungry? "Why aren't you eating?" It was only then that Ling Xuan Su noticed the untouched chopsticks Dan Qing Han.

Dan Qing Han then picked up the chopsticks and looked at the table full of dishes, but she did not feel hungry at all, she once again put the chopsticks down and looked towards Duan Shao: "May I ask, what is the purpose of this visit to Henan Province?"

"Henan Province is in chaos, I'm here to take a look." Duan Shao answered calmly.

"As far as I know, Lord Grand Commandant is also in Henan Province. Dan Qing Han laughed as if he had something else in mind.

Duan Shao's thoughts were seen through, but he did not hide anything, and only raised his cup to take a sip of tea, "I admit, I am here to see Lord Grand Commandant. But, Crown Prince should have the same intentions as me, right? "Since we have the same goal, then why take fifty steps at a time? You and I can go on the road together."

Ling Xuan Su had long guessed that Duan Shao was here to look for Lv Wen Hao, but he did not expect that Dan Qing Han's question would be so direct, and that Duan Shao's reply would be so straightforward.

Dan Qing Han once again thought back to the first time she met Duan Shao. He was a poor scholar, yet she talked about politics in the temple. Back then, the marriage between her and Duan Shao was something that Crown Prince personally talked about. It could be seen how much Crown Prince had appreciation and trust for Duan Shao.

But now, the Crown Prince was restricted and this Duan Shao turned on the Prince Chu, how laughable would that be?

"The crafty rabbit died, the dog was cooked, the situation has changed. The Senior Duan seeking self-protection is also a human's way of doing things." Dan Qing Han laughed in disdain, and looked at Ling Xuan Su who had an ugly expression, "But Prince Yu's Mansion is different from Senior Duan, you are Crown Prince's trusted aide, a close subordinate, and King Yu is only a foreign subject. Senior Duan, you better not confuse us with each other. It's better to go to Henan Province and each go one way or the other. "

Duan Shao did not speak, he only started to re-examine the Dan Qing Han in front of his. Ever since they had met, she had felt an indescribable chill in her heart, and his tone was filled with hidden ridicule and contempt. He could not remember when he had interacted with the Tantai Clan and actually offended such an overbearing woman.

Dan Qing Han took out a banknote that was worth a hundred silver and placed it on the table, "Senior Duan, this time, I'll be treating you to it. With that said, she stood up and walked out of the restaurant with Ling Xuan Su.

Zhao Xi reluctantly looked at the silver, but he gritted his teeth and followed suit.

Ling Xuan Su walked outside and asked softly: "You're so generous, one hundred silver was our last bet."

Dan Qing Han looked at him coldly, "Then why don't you get the waiter to find a change and come with me in a swagger?"

Ling Xuan Su humphed, "Since you have already left, why don't I follow you? I am a dignified decedent, and in front of Duan Shao, I must have some backbone. "

After exiting the restaurant, Zhao Xi finally could not hold back and asked with some difficulty: "I want to ask, where are we staying tonight?"

Dan Qing Han and Ling Xuan Su stopped in their tracks, turned to look at Zhao Xi, and asked in unison: "Why don't you call the waiter to look for you?"

Zhao Xi was startled by their actions and felt wronged: "I, I … You guys didn't tell me to find zeros either. "
