After a long journey, Qian Qianqian finally returned to Dingyuan City, and when she was a little surprised, there were no enemy troops along the way, and there was no bandit, which was so smooth that it made her a little incredible.

"General Xiao is now fighting on the front line, has the enemy army wandering outside been completely wiped out?"

Qian Qianqian turned her head to look at Xue Yi, the suspicious light flashed in her eyes, Xue Yi seemed to be unnatural, her eyes kept dodging, and she didn't dare to look at Qian Qianqian's eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you hiding something from me? ”

Qian Qianqian then asked, her brows furrowed, looking Xue Yi up and down, her eyes were burning and very sharp, but she was a little similar to Xiao Mohan.

"Since we have all arrived in Dingyuan City safely, the slave doesn't want to hide it from you, in fact, Yufeng has not left, he has been secretly escorting us, it is because of him that the enemy troops wandering outside dare not invade us."

Xue Yi hesitated for a moment, but still said the matter, Qian Qianqian knew that this matter was not so simple, but she didn't expect Yufeng to follow her all the way.

"In that case, I don't have anything to say, anyway, we have come back safely, and Yufeng secretly followed, which is also for my good."

Qian Qianqian is surprisingly calm, she is by no means a vexatious woman, she will treat other people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, she knows that Xiao Mohan cares about her, and she understands everything in her heart.

"If you don't mind, this is also General Xiao's order, Yufeng will never dare to go back in advance, we, the dead soldiers, have always obeyed General Xiao's orders."

Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed out a smile from her face, Qian Qianqian'er lowered her eyes, her long and thick eyelashes blocked the emotions under her eyes, but her heart was still the same worry and anxiety.

This Dingyuan City is not as chaotic as before, Xue Hua has supervised this place very well, those victims have been properly settled, there are not so many people wandering around on the streets, everything seems to be in order, if all this can be maintained like this, these people will definitely live a stable life.

"I didn't expect that General Xue would not only fight, but also be a good hand at governing the people, I have only been there for more than a month, and this Dingyuan City has a new look, which is very different."

Qian Qianqian rested for a few days, then wanted to go out for a walk, walking on the street, looking at so many people coming and going, her mood was a little lighter.

"If Xue Hua didn't have any ability, General Xiao wouldn't put him in this position, this Dingyuan City is just a small frontier city, and it has never been valued by the imperial court, so many affairs are handled by General Xiao, even these local officials, many of them were personally appointed by General Xiao, Xue Hua back then was just a nobody, if there was no General Xiao, he would not be where he is today."

Xue Yi followed behind Qian Qianqian and explained in a fifteen-and-fifteen-ten manner that Qian Qianqian was not surprised at all, she believed in Xiao Mohan's vision, and she had never looked at people accurately.

"It's just that now that the war has been going on, and the people's lives are not getting better, after this battle, Xiao Guo must be full of holes, and if you want to recover as before, I'm afraid it will be impossible in ten years."

Qian Qianqian looked around, although this Dingyuan City was a little lively, but the roadside was still in tatters, those silk villages, jewelry shops were not patronized at all, and it was good to be able to fill their stomachs at the moment, and few of the people had extra silver to dress up.

"War, this is really normal, as long as these people are still alive, Xiao Guo has hope, now this is a hurdle for Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo must cross it, otherwise it can only be slaughtered."

Xue Yi said categorically, her eyes were also very firm, Qian Qianqian didn't have any superfluous expressions, just looked at the people passing by lightly, and her eyes were not shocked.

"Miss Qian."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind, Qian Qianqian stopped, turned around, and saw Xue Hua appear behind her.

"General Xue, are you personally leading people to patrol the streets?"

Qian Qianqian glanced Xue Hua up and down, and saw that Xue Hua was dressed in armor, leading dozens of officers and soldiers behind him, all with blades on his side, and it didn't look like he was hanging out at all.

"Not bad." Xue Hua bowed slightly, and spit out two words lightly, and his every move was very respectful.

"You are a general, and you have so many soldiers under your command, and you still need to patrol the streets in person?"

Qian Qianqian was a little puzzled, in her opinion, Xue Hua was not needed for such a trivial matter as patrolling the streets, after all, with Xue Hua's official position, there were still many important things waiting for him to deal with.

"The girl doesn't know, and a few more central country workers are mixed in with those disaster victims, and they have mixed into this Dingyuan City, and now they don't know where to hide, so the last general must find them out."

Xue Hua lowered his voice, looking very helpless, if it wasn't for the last resort, he wouldn't personally lead people to patrol the streets, but those few central state works were dormant in Dingyuan City like a cancer, it was a big trouble, and it must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Qian Qianqian's face sank, she didn't expect such a thing, it seems that there is indeed a lot of trouble caused by relieving those victims, but since this matter has happened, then find a way to solve it, anyway, it's not a big deal, it's just a few details, and it probably won't make a big splash.

"Miss Qian, the last general would like to remind you more, if there is nothing to do recently, it is best not to go out, this is not very peaceful, so as not to have any accidents."

Xue Hua took a few steps forward, his eyes glanced around without a trace, these people looked ordinary one by one, but no one could say for sure, whether there was a central country hidden among them, so the best way was not to contact them, and not let anyone have a chance.

"I know, I'll take care of myself, and I won't cause you any trouble."

Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, knowing that Xue Hua was also good for her, and now in this Dingyuan City, she was the most dangerous person, and those few fine workers would definitely do something to her to threaten Xiao Mohan, she was like a mirror in her heart, so she also knew what to do.

Xue Hua took half a step back, there was nothing more to say, and he continued to patrol the streets with the soldiers and horses behind him, which seemed peaceful on the road, but it was full of dangers.

"Miss Qian, shall we go back to the house now?"

Xue Yi also heard Xue Hua's words clearly, since it was not safe outside, it was the best choice to go back, but Qian Qianqian was a little unsatisfied.

"Let's go again, in this blue sky and daylight, there are so many officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, forgive those meticulous works and dare not come out at this time to make waves."

Qian Qianqian said lightly, and when she turned her head, her eyes flickered, as if she had seen something, but she quickly regained her composure, as if she hadn't found anything.

In the past few days, Qian Qianqian can't let go of the victims of this Dingyuan City, seeing that most of these victims have a stable life, she is also relieved, the food she moved out of the space can be eaten for a while, and the grain in Jiangnan should be bumper at that time.

After going around the streets and alleys, Qian Qianqian returned home, she went around every corner of Dingyuan City, although she was a little tired, but she also gained a lot.

"Although this Dingyuan city is flat, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, if the enemy comes in, these thousands of soldiers and civilians will not even have the opportunity to retreat, which is not a good thing for us."

Qian Qianqian shook her head, she hadn't paid attention to it before, but when she went out to see it today, she all understood, why did the gate of Dingyuan City be closed so tightly?

"Yes, so this Dingyuan City must not be breached, the court has not taken this place seriously, if it weren't for General Xiao, I'm afraid the people in this city would starve to death, although this Xiao country is still the emperor, but in this Xinjiang, General Xiao is the king."

Xue Yi poured a cup of tea for Qian Qianqian, and said with great interest, this Qian Qianqian also understood in her heart that the people of Dingyuan City were all General Xiao, which showed their respect for General Xiao.

"How many guards are there in this general's mansion?"

Qian Qianqian's words changed, and she suddenly mentioned this, she only knew that the General's Mansion was heavily guarded, but she didn't know how many people there were in this mansion.

"Inside and out, there are probably more than 1,000 people." Xue Yihou was on the side and thought about it.

"Those central country works are not fuel-efficient lamps, since they have slipped into this Dingyuan City, they will definitely attack the General's Mansion, so we have to be ready at all times."

Qian Qianqian said categorically, she vaguely felt that it would not be long before something big would happen in Dingyuan City, the terrain here was blocked, and if someone caught a turtle in an urn, she would definitely suffer heavy losses.

"The slave and maid understand that when they came back just now, the slave and maid had already ordered to go down, and everyone would cheer up and protect the safety of this general's mansion."

Xue Yi nodded slightly, she has been by Xiao Mohan's side for many years, so she naturally knows what to do, but sometimes she is careless, even if she guards against it day and night, she may not be able to completely prevent it.

In the next few days, Qian Qianqian stayed in the general's mansion, and the bud seeds planted in the yard had already germinated.

The weather is getting hotter, and it rarely rains in this part of the country, but as soon as the sun is strong, the land is even more arid, and when the wind blows, there is sand and dust everywhere.

Qian Qianqian has never been to this kind of place before, so she is still a little uncomfortable, no wonder this Dingyuan City is not prosperous at all, not to mention compared with the capital, it is far worse than Lianzhou City, such a harsh climate, it is already very good for the people to fill their stomachs.

Although these bud rice seedlings are watered every day, they still can't grow, the original green leaves are gradually yellowing, and the seedlings are withered, and there is no life.

"Miss Qian, I'm afraid this bud rice seedling won't be able to grow."

Xue Yi followed Qian Qianqian's side, and everyone could see that these bud rice seedlings were afraid that they were all dead.

"Pull these all out, it looks like I've failed this time, and I'll have to study it carefully."

Qian Qianqian is extraordinarily calm, although this bud rice seed has cost her a lot of effort, but it is normal that it is not successful, and she can accept it gladly.

The sun was scorching, and it didn't take long for a layer of fine sweat to appear on Qian Qianqian's forehead, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat, her cheeks were also sunburned, and she rolled up her sleeves, and her hands were still stained with mud.

"Miss Qian, if you want the slave to say, don't bother to study this, as long as the war is over, General Xiao will definitely make these people well fed and clothed."
