"This is really going to kill me!" Lord Wang finally couldn't hold back and swayed a few steps before being helped by someone: "Your Excellency, you have to take care of your body, now the whole city is counting on you." ”

"I, what can I do? I have emptied all the food at home, and I still have a two-year-old child at home, so I can't let her run out of food!"

Lord Wang looked out of the door with a sad face, the snow was lighter today, but even if the snow stopped for a short time, it would have no effect.

"My lord, my lord, there seems to be a team approaching outside the city, but the snow on the ground is too thick, and their speed is a little slow!"

The guards guarding the city trotted in all the way, and finally there was some light in their eyes in despair these days: "It seems to be the team of the war king......"

"War King, Lord Wang, he's back?!" Lord Wang's eyes widened, and he hurriedly walked out: "Quick, send someone to shovel snow and clear the road!"

Su Qing could feel that the team was moving forward at a turtle speed, and when he looked out, the snow was almost on the carriage.

Xiao Jingchen's men had a shovel in their hands, shoveling away the snow on the road as they walked forward.

Su Qing couldn't sit still and jumped out of the carriage: "If there is any extra shovel, give me one." ”

"Princess, just leave this work to us, you can get in the car quickly, it's cold outside. The soldier was startled.

Su Qing couldn't help but snatch the shovel in his hand, "I've been sitting in the car for these days, my back hurts, I also have to move, you go and get the shovel again." ”

At this time, Qingshuang also got out of the car and pointed at herself, meaning that she also wanted a handful.

"Lord, princess, they got down from the carriage and followed our men to shovel snow. ”

Xiao Jingchen didn't sleep all night, there were several booklets piled up on his hand, he read them all night, and the more he looked at it, he only felt that Daqi looked like an attic that had been hollowed out, and it would collapse at any time.

Hearing Xiao Jue's voice, he raised his head and glanced out, the ground was a little white and dazzling, he frowned, stood up and got out of the carriage.

Looking back, Su Qing was really shoveling snow with those soldiers, working very hard.

"Send someone to spread the word and see what's going on in the city. Xiao Jingchen glanced at the snow on the ground, which was white and crystalline.

Snow is a rare sight, but anything in excess is dangerous.

"Lord Wang, someone from the city has also been sent to shovel snow, and the road will be open soon. ”

The speed of shoveling snow at both ends was naturally much faster, and Su Qing was sweating hard, and he heard some noise in front of him.

"The road is open, and the princess doesn't have to shovel anymore. The soldier next to him immediately put away the shovel in his hand, for fear that Su Qing would be tired.

Lord Wang saw that Xiao Jingchen's eyes were red, and stepped forward to bow deeply: "Lord Wang, you are here, our Northern Zhou City has been saved." ”

"What's the situation now?" Xiao Jingchen didn't get into the car again, frowned and said that Lord Wang must have walked back, and listened to Lord Wang report on the current situation on the way.

When he arrived at the yamen and saw the temporary morgue full of corpses, Xiao Jingchen's lips pursed into a straight line.

"There has been no news in the palace, we thought that the emperor didn't care about us anymore, the granaries in the city were almost exhausted, and if we didn't replenish them, we were afraid that more people would starve to death. ”

When Lord Wang was talking to Xiao Jingchen, he noticed that there was a woman behind him, dressed in a light-colored dress, almost melting into the snow.

The pair of black and white eyes looked around, and finally looked at Lord Wang, and she nodded lightly to see each other.

Xiao Jingchen's team has a few grain trucks, but they are only enough for a few days, and the top priority is to let these people eat first, otherwise they will either starve to death or freeze to death.

"These bodies can't be put here. Su Qing waited on the side, and she didn't come forward until Xiao Jingchen and Lord Wang finished speaking.

"Although the temperature is low now, the corpses will also decompose, and it is very dangerous for so many corpses to gather here, so it is better to be cremated as soon as possible. ”

Lord Wang was still curious about her identity just now, but now he saw that she was about to cremate the body as soon as she opened her mouth, and couldn't help frowning.

"Lord Wang, this is ......"

"Princess. Xiao Jingchen replied very simply, but it also indicated Su Qing's identity, Lord Wang was slightly stunned, and his eyes immediately became a little respectful.

"It turned out to be the princess, the lower officials came to see ......" Lord Wang was about to salute, Su Qing stepped forward to support him: "No need to be polite, now this is a disaster area, all troublesome etiquette can be saved, let's deal with these corpses first." ”

"It's not that we don't want to deal with it, it's just that ......" Lord Wang's face was embarrassed, "These are the families of the people in the city, we have to ask them what they mean, otherwise ......"

This is also the fact that the ancients paid great attention to funeral etiquette, and if they were all cremated without saying hello, I am afraid that it would cause criticism.

"First of all, distribute the food we brought, there are not enough people here, so let them work in pairs to ensure that every family can get food as much as possible. ”

Xiao Jingchen ordered, Lord Wang was relieved when he heard the grain, but he heard Xiao Jingchen continue.

"Our food can't last for a few days, now we have to ensure that the surrounding roads are smooth as soon as possible, there are also many towns around the city that have suffered from snowstorms, and the amount of relief from the imperial court has not come down, so now everyone can only help each other." ”

Su Qing watched Xiao Jingchen calmly arrange the work one by one, and a lot of troubles were solved with a cup of tea.

At this point, everyone's attention was on helping the people, and the previous things were all on the back burner.

Su Qing was not idle, she went door to door according to the corpses registered in the register, and told them that she wanted to arrange the cremation of the corpses.

When many families heard this, they shook their heads and disagreed, and some even ran to the yamen to pull the body back.

Xiao Jingchen left a team of guards to guard the yamen, and when she found Su Qing, she was being pushed out by a family.

"Lord, I'll go ......" Xiao Jue couldn't stand it, Xiao Jingchen raised his hand to stop him, and walked forward to pull Su Qing up.

"If they don't agree to cremate the bodies, don't distribute any more food. Su Qing patted the snow on her body and turned around and left.

When the surrounding people heard that they were no longer given food, they immediately got up in a hurry and blocked Su Qing's way.

"Why don't you give us food? Some of us haven't eaten for several days, are you sent by the imperial court to rescue us, or are you here to kill us?"

"That is, these grains are distributed by the imperial court, why do you say that if you don't give it, you won't give it?"

Su Qing frowned and looked at these people who blocked her way, and sneered: "These grains are the stored grain in the granary of the prince's own mansion, if you expect the imperial court to distribute grain to save you, then wait for it!"

"Come, tell me to go down and stop giving food. It wasn't until Xiao Jingchen gave an order that these people knew that what Su Qing said was not to scare them.
