Shen Baiqing took this group of soldiers exiled from the western realm to live well in the border city, and everyone was very hostile to these soldiers at first, but slowly everyone could see that the soldiers respected Shen Baiqing very much.

Especially when I saw that group of people were busy planting fruit trees in the mountains, busy doing farm work in the fields, and helping out in Cai Di Restaurant, in short, when I saw that group of people treating all the border cities with sincerity, everyone was not so repulsive to them.

On this day, Shen Baiqing asked Cai Di to drink tea together, Cai Di was vaguely uneasy, he didn't know what Shen Baiqing's intention was, but since this was arranged by Shen Baiqing, of course Cai Di had to obey.

Seeing Cai Di, Shen Baiqing's attitude was clear.

"Shopkeeper Cai, do you want to open a branch of a restaurant?"

Cai Di looked at Shen Baiqing with surprise, and Shen Baiqing said again.

"Yang Qingfeng's restaurant before, the location is not bad, I have asked people to take it down, and it is simply cleaned up, if you have the intention of this, I will ask the group of people in the west to help, so that they can also be useful, they are all people who practice martial arts, and there will be no accidents in the two restaurants in the future."

If the border city really encounters any crisis that day, they can also go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

Shen Baiqing's words made Cai Di's eyes light up, Cai Di knew Shen Baiqing's intentions, and also knew that Shen Baiqing was sincerely thinking about the people of the border city, so Cai Di was also grateful to Shen Baiqing from the bottom of his heart.

In this way, Cai Di's second restaurant was successfully opened in the border city, and the city lord of the border city and the people came to celebrate that day, and everyone looked happy.

After three rounds of drinking, the city lord raised his glass and looked at Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen, and said.

"Brother Su, brother and sister, I was somewhat taboo about you before, thinking that you stayed in the border city, maybe it was uneasy and kind, but now that I see that you are thinking about the border city, I hope that the two of you can help me govern the border city together.

To be precise, I'm in the light and you are in the dark, I don't know what the two of you want? ”

The city lord's words made Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing stunned, they didn't expect the city lord to mention this matter.

It is estimated that the city lord has also thought about them, and is worried that they will be too popular in the border city, so he took the initiative to let them manage the border city in secret.

Su Bowen wanted to excuse himself, but the city lord said again.

"Brother Su, don't shirk, I know that you and your younger siblings are all dedicated to the good of the people of the border city, there are not many such people, and we also want to thank you for everything you have done for the people of the border city, because of this, I hope you can stay and help me."

The city lord's eyes were full of sincerity, Su Bowen didn't know what to say for a while, Shen Baiqing thought about it, and took the initiative to explain.

"City Lord, it's not that my husband and I don't want to help, it's just that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, even if my husband and I agree, we won't stay in Border City forever, in the end, Border City depends on the joint efforts of the city lord and everyone."

Shen Baiqing's words were very serious, and the city lord seemed to be moved by Shen Baiqing's words, but the city lord still insisted.

"I still hope that the two of you can think about this matter, the people of Border City really need your help."

"Let's think about it."

After the banquet, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen returned to their residence.

Late at night, Shen Baiqing held Su Bowen's arm, and the two thought about it.

"Husband, do you think we should agree to come down?"

Shen Baiqing knew what the people of the border city wanted for them, but once this matter was agreed, it meant that they had a heavy burden.

Asked by Shen Baiqing, Su Bowen looked at her and said tentatively.

"Does the lady have an idea?"

"To tell you the truth, there is, now we have helped the border city a lot, but I am still worried about what will become of the border city once we leave the border city.

As long as we say we're just doing Border City a favor, no one will look at us with suspicion. ”

The reason why Su Bowen didn't immediately agree to the city lord was that he was worried that His Majesty the Imperial Court would be jealous of them if he knew about it, but if they handled everything properly, those things would not happen in the future.

Knowing what Shen Baiqing meant, Su Bowen smiled.

"Since the lady said so, the husband should do this errand, how about it?"

"Okay."

In this way, Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing agreed to the city lord's request, and the city lord held a banquet on the second day, saying that in order to celebrate the border city through this crisis, it was actually to celebrate that the border city had a relationship with Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing.

After that, Shen Baiqing and the others stayed in the border city for a few days, and then took the initiative to leave.

The city lord was naturally reluctant to let the two of them go, and the people of the border city didn't want the two to leave, but everyone knew that Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing were going back to Beijing, after all, they were from the Central Plains, and the Su family was a big family in the imperial court.

Leaving the border city, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen passed by the grassland along the way, and they found that the reconstruction of the grassland seemed to be going well.

In the carriage, Shen Baiqing looked at the scenery of the grassland, and Su Bowen accompanied Shen Baiqing.

Seeing that Shen Baiqing was very yearning for the outside, Su Bowen proposed.

"If you want to ride a horse, can you accompany your husband?"

Asked by Su Bowen, Shen Baiqing smiled bitterly.

"Forget it, now I'm also a mother, it's not good to be so unrestrained on weekdays.

Although there are no others here, in order not to be honest in the future, I better stop. ”

Listening to Shen Baiqing's words, Su Bowen had a vague feeling of indescribability in his heart.

It seems that since Shen Baiqing married him, he has not been as chic and wanton as before, Su Bowen sometimes asks himself if he has given Shen Baiqing the happiness he wants.

However, Su Bowen believes that the happiness that Shen Baiqing wants is only something he can afford.

The husband and wife successfully returned to Linzhou City, and when they came back, they found that there were many fewer people in Linzhou City now, and they learned from their subordinates that many people in the grassland had moved back, and Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen were also relieved.

The two went to the post station in person and met the prince of Zamu.

The prince still stayed in Linzhou City because Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing did not expect it, they thought that when the matter in Linzhou City was over, the prince would leave first.

It seems that the prince really thinks about the people.

"Brother Bowen, how is Border City doing now?"

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked about this, Su Bowen did not hide it at all.

"Everything is fine in the border city now, although there was some turmoil before, but fortunately, it has passed."
