NOVEL NEXT Chapter 345 Royal Relatives
After a few days, Ye Qingran finally defeated them.
In addition, working with her would provide them with a place to live and enough to eat, which solved their most basic problems, and they gradually had nothing else to think about.
Those who were dissatisfied were all taught a lesson by her, and those who refused to listen were killed on the spot.
In this world, people are already eating people. Rather than leaving such scum to harm others, it is better to kill them.
After they stabilized, Ye Qingran set rules for them and selected a reliable person to be the village chief. In the future, they would not go hungry again if they lived according to this model.
After setting everything up here, she set off in a hurry.
Not many days after setting off, Ye Qingran saw Ye Zhuoyu and Ye Yunlian at the inn.
The two of them were eating and would talk a few words from time to time.
From a distance, Ye Yunlian seemed quite well-behaved, eating quietly and picking up food for Ye Zhuoyu.
After Ye Qingran passed by, he asked directly: "I thought you were all going to be near the northern border. Why did you just arrive here?"
When Ye Zhuoyu saw her, he stood up and circled around her. After confirming that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I'm not worried about you."
He shook his head helplessly, "You wanted to stay alone in that place where people eat people. I couldn't follow you, and I couldn't trust you, so I didn't go too far. This way, if you need help with anything else, I can still help you. help you."
Ye Qingran was a little moved. He turned around and saw Ye Yunlian standing by the side without saying a word, with kind eyes. He asked, "Is your injury getting better? Have you reapplied the medicine since I have been away these days?"
Ye Yunlian's expression did not change and she replied: "I have changed the medicine, but it is not as good as yours."
Neither salty nor bland, Ye Qingran nodded and said no more.
After a little tidying up at the inn, they set out together to head to the north.
Zhao Zhiming had made a fuss about leaving when he was still at an inn near the capital, worried that Ye Yunlian would kill him when he woke up.
Although Ye Qingran didn't understand why he was so frightened, he still couldn't bear his nagging and sent one or two people to take him to the north before Ye Yunlian woke up.
At this time, Zhao Zhiming happened to arrive in the north.
When he saw the somewhat desolate land, a confused look flashed across his face. It wasn't until the guards took him into the village and met Chu Qingyun that his expression calmed down.
When he saw Zhao Zhiming, Chu Qingyun was obviously disgusted, but when he saw that the person next to him was Ye Qingran's subordinate, he still asked patiently: "Why did you bring him here? Is it Ran'er's intention?"
He asked the guard, directly ignoring Zhao Zhiming.
The guard replied: "Yes, it is the Lord's wish. He said that he should stay here for now, and he will come in handy later."
After hearing this, Chu Qingyun softened his expression: "I understand, leave it to me."
"Yes."
Zhao Zhiming was thus handed over to Chu Qingyun. Chu Qingyun originally wanted to arrange a place for him and then let him do farm work, or go hunting and do some manual labor, which would be considered as a way to earn a living for himself. Free food and free accommodation.
But soon, he discovered that Zhao Zhiming had many old injuries and even internal injuries, and he was temporarily unable to do any heavy work.
Chu Qingyun had a headache.
He didn't want this kind of person to live too comfortably, but he was also afraid that he would tire him out and delay Ye Qingran's affairs, so in the end he had no choice but to let him watch the hunting trap.
Such a simple job originally did not require anyone to do it. The people who went out to hunt only needed to take a look when they came back. But there was really nothing that Zhao Zhiming could do, so he had to arrange it like this.
The villagers only knew that Zhao Zhiming was new here and knew Chu Qingyun. Chu Qingyun even gave him such an easy and simple job alone, so they all thought that Chu Qingyun specially opened the way for him. Thinking about it like this, they began to feel that Zhao Zhiming's identity was not simple. .
Some villagers asked Zhao Zhiming secretly about his identity. At first, Zhao Zhiming did not take it seriously and just answered truthfully. But later, he understood what they meant in their words and changed his words.
It was at this time that he realized that Chu Qingyun was actually the prince.
From then on, whenever someone asked, he would answer: "The prince and I are relatives. Strictly speaking, the prince is my brother. Although there is no blood relationship, the relationship is not comparable to that of ordinary people."
The people saw that what he said was clear and logical, so they believed him.
They didn't dare to ask Chu Qingyun directly, so Chu Qingyun didn't know about it. Seeing that the villagers stayed with Zhao Zhiming a lot of time, they were worried that he would secretly lead the villagers astray, but later found out that nothing had been done, so he Don't care anymore.
Ye Qingran was about to return to the North. He calculated that her birthday was coming soon, and thought about what to give her for several days, and finally decided to personally create a set of unique accessories for her.
He was busy with these things, and he had no time to care about Zhao Zhiming.
Seeing that Chu Qingyun didn't care about this matter, Zhao Zhiming became more and more arrogant. He wished that the whole village knew that he and Chu Qingyun were related. Many villagers believed in him and even specially gave Zhao Zhiming something for this purpose.
Although the things they gave were not expensive or even valuable, this sense of vanity alone made Zhao Zhiming unable to extricate himself.
Later, he even used this opportunity to ask the villagers to give him something.
Seeing Chu Qingyun's affection and identity, the villagers all agreed. Although they were dissatisfied with Zhao Zhiming's increasingly excessive demands, they were worried about being driven away by Chu Qingyun, so they still tolerated them one by one.
That day, a woman came to him and asked with a flattering smile on her face: "I wonder if Mr. Zhao is married?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhiming understood what she meant, but he did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I just saw that you were alone and there was no family here, so I came to ask out of curiosity."
Zhao Zhiming knew that she had a daughter at home, named Tian Wenwen, who was pretty and well-behaved, but he couldn't agree to it at this time.
It's not that he doesn't want to find a new woman, this Tian Wenwen is young and cute, and there's no way he won't like the one who comes to his door.
But everything he has now can only be obtained through Ye Yunlian's relationship. If he gets married to another woman, there will be no reason for him to have a relationship with Chu Qingyun.
It's really a loss after all.
Moreover, Ye Yunlian will follow Ye Qingran back to the north sooner or later. By then, it will be too late for him to escape, so how can he dare to engage in such lace?
"I'm used to being alone. It's quite free. Besides, the prince is here, so I'm not lonely."
He habitually kept Chu Qingyun's name on his lips, as if it could give him gold.
