In a hurry, Duanmu Xuan, Situ Yan and his entourage were escorted by the two battalions of iron-blooded Weimo and Darkness all the way into Ji County, Guangyang County, Youzhou Governor's Office.

"When my brother first arrived in Jixian County, I didn't know that when Brother Xuan attacked the city, the Turkic soldiers would defend this important town, and the destruction of Jixian County was more serious than other counties!"

"Yes! Although you have been reminded many times on the way, you can still be shocked by the sight of your brother! Looking at the displacement of the people in the city, looking at the starving floating corpses outside the city, this is just self-deception if you say that you are not afraid! ”

"Brother, don't worry, it's the end of summer now, and before the first snow in winter, you can still plant another crop, and then the people won't have to worry about eating for the winter!"

"Yes, Zhongxian! It's man-made. You love your people like a son, and this heart alone is beyond the reach of others. However, I am still worried, even if you have all kinds of good and righteousness, I am afraid that in the eyes of these victims, you are just an official sent by the imperial court, and if you want to promote your good deeds, I am afraid it will take some time! "Duanmu Xuan will stay in Jixian County for one more day, and then he will rush to the border city to take up his post, after all, with his footsteps, it is more than enough to rush to the border city before the deadline set by the emperor.

"Ziheng and Yan'er have a good heart, and Yan'er also mentioned it before, as for how to control and how to govern, these still need to read the reports from all over the country, and then carefully consider it with Yan'er!"

"I just want to stay for one more day, if there is anything I need help from the Iron Guard, Zhongxian is welcome!"

"Even if you don't look at Yan'er's affection, can you still look at my brother, be a bare pole and not lend a hand! And you're afraid that you may not really help me. I'm afraid that my useless brother will drag down my own sister! Although Situ Jin was bitter in his heart, he didn't want his relatives to worry about it, so he actually joked with Duanmu Xuan unusually.

"Since I entered Youzhou. Whenever she travels through a city or a village, Yan'er sends people to inquire, and she is always sad and worried, which shows that this Youzhou is indeed worse than we thought! ”

"Yes, I was still thinking that the deadline given by the emperor was enough, but now it seems that there are many difficulties. I'm afraid that I will miss the holy period, and I don't know how to return to Beijing to face the saint, so how can I face these people who survived in Youzhou! ”

"I'm not just worried about that. At the beginning, Yan'er and the emperor set this deadline, but I was afraid that there would be a follow-up, but Yan'er refused to say, so I naturally didn't want to ask. But I have a vague feeling. If Zhongxian and I can't pay the decree on time, I'm afraid that it will be Yan'er who will be hurt! ”

"Ziheng, where did you start, Yan'er's temperament has always been to report good news and not bad news, if you find out something, you must tell me!" Situ Jin was originally worried that he would not be able to restore Youzhou to the way it was when it was not occupied within the time limit, but now hearing Duanmu Xuan's words, he was even more worried. Even this was the first time he had been timid since he left the Northwest.

"Good. It's just that Yan'er and the emperor are talking in secret, but I'm afraid that apart from the two of them, no third person can know about this matter! Duanmu Xuan's worry was not untargeted, but his understanding of Wuhuang Mu Yi's brothers for so many years.

"Everyone says that a companion is like a tiger, but Yan'er is just a woman, not only did the emperor value and even entitle the county lord at the beginning, but now even the new emperor refuses to let her go, I always have a feeling that Yan'er seems to have a relationship with the royal family!" Situ Jin was originally a very traditional man, thinking that men should stand above the court, and women should teach their husbands and children at home, but since he met his current sister, his outlook on life is changing.

"I've heard Yan'er mention this, your grandmother's surname is Mu, and she has a lot of connections with the royal family!"

"I don't necessarily know more about this than Yan'er, after all, my grandmother has already passed away, and no one knows the inside story, and I only heard my mother mention one or two sentences in my memory, but it is Yan'er's ring, saying that it is a relic of my mother, but I have never seen my mother bring it, and I don't know if my mother hid this thing in the mezzanine of the makeup box?" This question has existed in Situ Jin's heart for a long time, and it is strange that he trusts Xiaomei too much now, so although he has doubts, he has never mentioned it.

"Oh!" Duanmu Xuan was a little concerned about Situ Jin's words. Situ Yan doesn't like to dress up, although she has opened a head and face jewelry store, most of the makeup boxes are still the relics of her late mother Situ Wan, or the dowry he ordered at the beginning, as for the ones he bought himself, there are very few, but even so, the ring hanging between Situ Yan's necks has never left his body. Even on the night of the candles in the cave room, even when she was purifying, she never took it off. Duanmu Xuan took advantage of his beloved wife's sleep and looked through it carefully, but it was just an ordinary stone ring, not even as good as ordinary jade, and he didn't know why his beloved wife valued it so much.

These questions reminded him once again of the difference he had had when his wife was young, and of the inexplicable confusion that had been found out at the beginning. He even had a feeling that this ring must have a great relationship with Situ Yan's life experience. However, since Situ Yan was reluctant to say it, he would not force it to ask, he believed that one day, Situ Yan would be willing to share the secrets in her heart with him.

Early in the morning of the second day, Duanmu Xuan packed up and rode "Ben Night", rushed to the border city with the iron-blooded Wei Mozi Battalion, and left the Secret Character Battalion to Situ Yan, and before leaving, he specially told Chiyu that he must follow his wife every step of the way.

Now with Li Sanlang's identity, if it weren't for Situ Jin and Duanmu Xuan's instructions, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to see Situ Yan's face, but fortunately, these two men didn't treat him as an outsider, so Situ Yan saw him off today, and naturally told Li Sanlang a few words.

"Third brother, Brother Xuan has an iron-blooded guard by his side, but you have always been alone, although the road to the border city is not far, but the border pass is not very peaceful, third brother and remember to take care of yourself!"

"Xiao Wu rest assured, I remember! Xiao Wu also has to promise me that he can't lose weight anymore! ”

"Good!" Situ Yan felt that she could eat more than the average lady, and she had three bowls of dinner, but in the eyes of these men, she was only afraid that she would be fat and a pig, and she would only be thin.

sent away Duanmu Xuan and Li Sanlang and his party, and it happened that Dark Ice also escorted grain from Heyang County, Sizhou to Jixian County, Youzhou. "Shadow Wind, you've worked hard all the way!" Dark Ice's trip was escorted all the way to Youzhou by the Shadow Battalion of King Jing's Mansion. For the shadow style, Situ Yan naturally has to be polite.

"Young lady, where is the responsibility of your subordinates, I dare not accept the young lady's thanks!"

"Did you have a smooth journey?"

"I met some bandits and food thieves!" Before the shadow wind could say anything. Situ Yan hurriedly asked, "Can anyone be injured?" "Compared to food, Situ Yan cares most about human life, but she is only the person she cares about.

"Back to the young lady, no one was injured! And not a bag of grain is lost! "The Shadow Word Camp has the least contact with this young lady, and Yuan doesn't understand why the Iron Blood Guard, who was trained by the lord, would value a little woman so much, so the Ink Word Camp first defected. After that, there are secret word camps facing each other. Now I finally understand that this master acts the same as the young master, and he puts the life and death of his subordinates first. It is no wonder that the three camps of Mo, Dark, and Chi respect this young lady even more than Princess Jing.

"It's good that you're not injured, it's good that the grain is handed over to the dark wind, you can rest for three days, and then set off to return to Beijing!"

"Yes!" The Shadow Word Battalion is only in charge of escorting this time. He did not receive a task from the lord to stay and help. So Situ Yan didn't want to count these people in his plan.

She instructed to arrange food and lodging in the dark, and she herself sent the newly revised article on the restoration of the city wall and houses to Situ Jin, and personally took people to soak the seeds, hoping to harvest another crop of grain before the first snow of winter.

"Master, why did you let Dark Ice and them only bring some bud seeds?" The dark night looked puzzled, the most on the Zhuangzi is not the bud grain but the wheat seed.

"This bud is full of treasures, the particles can be used as food, and the straw can be used as horse feed. At that time, the straw collected from all over the country will be processed on the spot and transported to the border city, and the war horses there will not worry about eating this winter! "Situ Yan doesn't just want to help Situ Jin. As long as she is within her ability, she must guard and protect all her relatives.

Although Chiyu didn't understand this, she could also see that the young lady's move not only helped her brother, but also planned for the young master, and she couldn't help but be happy for the young master. Thinking that the young master did not marry this girl at the beginning, now it seems that the young master has a unique vision.

"Young lady, how many cities and villages are these grains?"

"I'm afraid that the 12 county seats are not enough, but fortunately, Brother Mu and Brother Dongfang will help buy some, and we need to figure out how to do the rest, but I'm afraid that the grain will be shipped too late, and it will be too late to plant in summer and harvest in autumn!" Situ Yan pinched her fingers and counted the days, and even the four counties of Liaodong and Susi, which were close to the far north, were afraid that it would be too late to deliver the grain even at this moment.

"Yesterday, I have discussed with my brother, the four counties of the border city will not send grain this time, and the winter is mainly to distribute grain to the weak, as long as the people can survive this winter, and when the spring of the next year begins, the recovery of all things will naturally be another situation!"

"Everything is arranged by the young lady!" "Yes! Master! Situ Yan explained these things to the two, that is, to tell them what is most important and must be done urgently, and it is too late to do anything later.

The list of instructions sent to Situ Jin was detailed, and there was no need to change it at all, and Situ Jin directly read the book and instructed the counties to follow it.

"Young lady, how do you know that the officials in various places will not disobey the yang and the yin, you must know that the acting county commanders in the counties within the boundary of Youzhou are all military generals!"

"The edict is the people I trained, and they all have the name of the Jingwang Mansion, and they dare not neglect their duties in the open face since they were young!" This is one of the three big gifts given to her by her father-in-law Jing when Situ Yan left the house.

"The lord even thought of this for the young lady!" Although the princess does not want to see the young lady, the lord values the young lady in the heart of these iron-blooded guards, and will treat Situ Yan as his master.

As expected by King Jing, how dare these people look down on Situ Jin, a literary champion who has been promoted to the sixth rank in a row, when they see the name of King Jing's mansion. Even a few people who were originally from the Jingwang Mansion responded to the call and were the first to act.

The urgency of the delay within the boundaries of Youzhou is to count the population, produce grain in agriculture, and build houses in the city. It's just that the people who can be used are less than one in a hundred to do. Although officials in various localities did not dare to slack off on the matters mentioned by Situ Jin, they had little effect.

"Yan'er, no matter how good this decree is, you have to hire people everywhere, and now it's really difficult to move an inch, it's slow!"

"Long before I left Beijing, Prince Jing had already prepared for us, I'm afraid that the available people are already on the way at this time, and my brother doesn't need to worry!"

The second of the three gifts that Prince Jing gave to his daughter-in-law Situ Yan was that all the non-capital offenders in Wu State, who were originally only lightly punished by whipping, were all changed to exile, and the place of exile was Youzhou. For a time, all the cells in the territory of Wu were empty, and the prison officers became idle.

"Lord Jing really helped a lot this time, first there was a famous stone to ask for directions, and then sent people to serve their sentences, but I still have to prepare early for my brother, so many people have come to Youzhou, I am afraid that it is not easy to find a place to live everywhere!" Situ Jin's heart seemed to be three points lighter, and the smile that he hadn't seen for many days was also on his face.

Situ Yan stayed in Jixian County for half a month, and when she saw that everything had been laid out, she set off, and the secret word battalion accompanied each other, while Situ Yan's own personal guards and dark night and others were left to Situ Jin. Although the things she planned were not as expected, they were all within Situ Jin's control, and with them helping in the dark night, they would naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

On the day of parting, Situ Yan got up early in the morning before dawn, and before nightfall last night, everything that should be loaded into the car has been loaded into the car, and the packing that should be sorted out has been taken care of. When it was not yet dawn, he left the Rashi Mansion.

She has always disliked parting and does not want to be sentimental! But when she approached the city gate, Situ Jin's voice still came from behind her!

"Yan'er, why did you leave early in the morning, your sister-in-law is still in the stove room to prepare for breakfast?"

"Brother knows that I don't want to be separated from you, my heart will be a little uncomfortable, instead of the pain when parting, it is better to only keep the joy when we are together!"

"Although the separation is bitter, it carries the concern between relatives! And there are still a lot of things to say for my brother! ”

"My brother has already told me for most of the night, so I won't tell you all about it yet!" Situ Yan listened patiently to Situ Jin's rambling yesterday, and if she told her again at noon today, I was afraid that she would be crazy if she didn't die.

"You, when your brother went out, your sister-in-law said that I couldn't chase you back, so let me bring these snacks, which is good, and I really let Yu'er talk! That's it, now that you are married, you have your own children to worry about! Situ Jin's words can't help but sound a little pantothenic.

"Brother, I promise you, I will raise myself to be white and fat, and when the Chinese New Year comes, you will see a little sister who is three points fatter than a pig, but if I become ugly, my brother can't let me enter my mother's door. I don't know if Brother Xuan will dislike me at that time, when I am suspended at home, I will eat my brother for the rest of my life! ”

"Even if you are really fat and become a pig, I believe that my brother will never lose you with Ziheng's temperament!" Situ Jin was very confident in Duanmu Xuan, which caused Situ Yan to pout vigorously.

Say goodbye to my brother. Situ Yan followed everyone in the Cipher Camp to the border city. (To be continued.) )
