Chapter 70: Xiyuan City

After leaving King Wen's fiefdom and walking for two more days, he finally arrived at the boundary of Xiyuan City, and obviously felt that it was becoming more and more deserted, sparsely populated, and could not be compared with King Wen's fiefdom, and many places here were very depressed. And the bandits and robbers are gradually increasing.

Fortunately, in the face of so many people from the Nineteenth Princess, those bandits didn't dare to attack them. However, from what we know, the poor people here are still living a difficult life, and it is also very dangerous, and they must be on guard against bandits at all times. So the people here are more fierce, and even if they usually fight without saying a word.

The nineteenth princess already felt a little headache, and it was the first time she had come into contact with such a place, although she had been prepared when she came, but seeing the realistic scene, she was still very worried about whether she could do it smoothly here! I have bet all the hopes of the Wu family here!

Xiyuan City is actually also a county, originally called Xiyuan County, and very large, the more remote the county, the larger the area, Xiyuan City is just the center of this county, and it is also the most prosperous place, and there is a moat around the city wall of Xiyuan City, the periphery is quite open, but the land is not fertile, the wind and sand are very large, suitable for pasture growth.

In fact, there are several large-scale families in Xiyuan City, but they also have land and operations in other counties. It's just that the land here is cheap, so it's just to leave some people to take care of it. There are two local big families, one is the Fang family, and the other is the Liu family!

The Fang family's land is bordered by King Wen, so relatively speaking, his land is quite fertile, and the head of the Fang family also has land in King Wen's fief, which is considered to be operated on both sides, and one of the sons of the Fang family is still the county official where he is located, so the strength of the Fang family is not bad! I also have 20,000 private troops!

For the nineteenth princess, the Fang family was very enthusiastic, not only sending food and wine, but the old man of the Fang family also came to meet the nineteenth princess in person! People are not stupid, but there is a seventh princess standing behind the nineteenth princess, so it is equivalent to thinking that the seventh princess is showing goodwill! These people from the big families are very shrewd, and they have long been aware of the subtlety of the situation, and everyone is waiting and watching.

Of course, some big families have long been on a clear line. The Fang family is still waiting, the old man of the Fang family wants to develop his family to the southeast, that is, the Seventh Princess, he thinks that the strength of the Seventh Princess is the strongest now, and the fief of the Seventh Princess is also the most stable and safe, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

Even Zhu Xiaobao didn't expect Xiyuan City to be so desolate and desolate, and it couldn't be compared with King Wen's fief at all. Wild beasts can often be spotted as well.

The team left the Fang family's territory and continued to advance to the southwest, which was Xiyuan City. On the way, a fat hare suddenly appeared on the west side of the team, Wu Yue opened his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow was shot, but it was a little worse, and it didn't hit! Wu Yue was about to shoot the second arrow. Unexpectedly, an arrow flew from the west, which pierced the hare's head directly, and then the eagle flew down, grabbed the hare and flew away, and then landed on the shoulder of a man far away to the west, and the hare was also thrown to the ground, and the other party was four people, among whom was a woman, all riding horses and holding bows. Dressed roughly, two of them were still half of their arms exposed, with fierce faces, and they looked at Wu Yue's side!

"Who are they? Orion? Wu Yue couldn't help but be a little annoyed, her archery skills were obviously inferior, but if it was a tiger hunting nearby, then she should come over and salute the nineteenth princess!

"Nope! It should be a bandit! Zhao Shenlong looked at it, said indifferently, and then also took his bow, put on an arrow, and shot an arrow at the other party. The distance between the two sides was almost two hundred steps, but Zhao Shenlong's arrow still hit a tree trunk next to the other party, and Zhao Shenlong didn't want to shoot these people!

The other party was a little surprised at this time, and several horses also took a few steps back with the pull of the master, it was obvious that Zhao Shenlong's strength was stronger than theirs, so it had already made them a little awe-inspired!

"These bandits are not afraid of the officers and soldiers, and unless they are besieged, it will be difficult to catch them! They are familiar with the terrain here and have high martial arts, so as long as they are not particularly excessive, the officers and soldiers are not willing to strangle them! Zhao Shenlong said to Wu Yue in a low voice.

"Huh? How so? This is still the boundary of the Great Xia Kingdom! Who are they? Wu Yue asked a little surprised.

"Some are habitual bandits, some are runaway slaves, some are aliens from outside the territory, and many are slaves who were captured in the war and then traded, these people are the most brutal, burning, killing, and plundering everything!" Zhao Shenlong still knows the situation here.

The four people opposite, led by the woman, smiled at this time: "Interesting, this little girl is still a little unconvinced!" That's a master! ”

"Sister Hong! If I don't want me to give him an arrow back, I should be able to shoot it at this distance! A big man behind him was a little unconvinced, the opponent's archery skills had surpassed him!

"No need! This person should be a great martial artist, I'm afraid it's a bit of a background! I can't imagine that there are such people under the nineteenth princess! The female bandit leader shook her head and said.

"Humph! What's the big deal, I'm sure she'll have to fuck off if she doesn't stay for three months! Nineteen princesses, hehe, I didn't expect that there would be a princess in Xiyuan City! And I've heard that it's the most beautiful one! The other bandit behind him said with a smile, a little thoughtful.

"Oh? Do you know that very well? The female bandit leader suddenly smiled charmingly, it was indeed a dumping of all beings, and there were thousands of charms.

"Huh? Don't dare, don't dare! Sister Hong, I heard about it, but I don't have any idea at all! Unexpectedly, this bandit turned pale with fright, and waved his hand again and again and said, because the famous giant bandit Ye Qinghong in front of him was only ranked below the giant bandit Ao Yang among the bandits in Xiyuan City!

Ye Qinghong's original experience was very miserable, so she hated the rape/adultery of those bandits the most, and her own people were very strict, and the punishment methods were quite ruthless!

"Humph! Let's go, Wu Zixiu is a waste, I don't know if this nineteenth princess can bring some changes to Xiyuan City! Ye Qinghong turned the horse's head and said a little disappointed.

……

The team continued to move forward, and finally saw the city wall of the inner city of Xiyuan City, the suspension bridge in front of the moat had been lowered, and Wu Zixiu and a group of officials were already waiting there! Not to mention, Wu Zixiu was wearing a very spirited today, wearing a bright silver armor, a white horse on his hip, and the guards behind him also helped him hold his weapon, a forty-six-pound bright silver gun!

Although there were not many people behind him, only 2,000 people, they were all riding horses, with bright armor, and the 20 or so officials behind him were also dressed very formally. It's just that they are not as excited as Wu Zixiu, and they are more like a little helpless.

"See the princess!" Wu Zixiu led everyone to dismount, and the etiquette must first be the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers.

"Excuse me! Xia Zhen'er has also seen the city lord! The nineteenth princess also dismounted and said with a shallow smile. It's been a month since she saw Wu Zixiu, and now Xia Zhen'er is actually a little excited, besides, this is the first time she has seen Wu Zixiu's military uniform, it is indeed very handsome and chic, judging from the weight of that gun, it should be not light.

It's just that in front of so many people, the nineteenth princess still maintains her demeanor very well. Then he stopped and looked at the city wall of Xiyuan City, which was almost two zhang high, and the soldiers on the city wall were also saluting the nineteenth princess! They all look energetic and morale high!

"Hee-hee! These should be Wu Zixiu's own people, not to mention, this guy is a talent, but I don't know if he has real skills under his hands! Zhao Shenbao whispered in Zhu Xiaobao's ear, but that look was very disdainful at first glance. Zhu Xiaobao has also heard some rumors about Wu Zixiu, but he is also very envious now, looking at other people's figures and appearances, and then looking at his own, it is really a bit of a gap!

"You don't talk nonsense! This is called a young and promising, a young handsome talent! Wu Yue said indignantly on the side, Wu Yue was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Shenbao's words, after all, this is the person the princess thinks about the curtain, and it is also very in line with Wu Yue's yearning standards!

"Does he know how to cook?" The cold Zhu Xiaobao turned his head and asked.

"Phew! People are generals, how can they drill the kitchen! The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, have you heard of it? Wu Yue suddenly said very unceremoniously.

"Oh! Then don't come to me in the future. Lu Tong Lu Fang, let's go! Zhu Xiaobao glanced at Wu Yue, and then ordered, and then ignored Wu Yue.

"Hey! Why are you so stingy! "Wu Yue didn't expect Zhu Xiaobao to have such a big temper today, usually he has an indifferent expression!

Zhu Xiaobao is indeed in a bad mood now, because the situation in Xiyuan City is even worse than he thought, and he has encountered bandits when he first arrived, which makes Zhu Xiaobao deeply worried about his future and safety! A bandit jumped out at random on the opposite side, and they were actually stronger than Wu Yue's kung fu, so wouldn't these two hits of his own be directly killed in seconds! Relying on a few female guards doesn't seem to be safe! Look at Wu Zixiu's appearance again, can Zhu Xiaobao's mood get better!

After entering the inner city of Xiyuan, Wu Zixiu was very sincere, and he wanted to give up his city lord's mansion to the nineteenth princess. The nineteenth princess resolutely refused to ask for it, claiming that she was just a deputy and lived in the city lord's mansion, and she was suspected of overstepping her duties.

In the end, Wu Zi straightened up and arranged the nineteen princesses in a mansion not far from the city lord's mansion, but this mansion was much smaller than the original nineteen princesses' mansion!

Before the nineteen princesses could settle down, Wu Zixiu's cronies came running with a panicked expression: "Qiqi Nineteen Princesses, Your Royal Highness has sent someone to visit the princess, and the Lord of Wucheng invites you to come over!" ”

"So fast? Well, it looks like you're going to give me a kick! The nineteenth princess said softly.
