Her face was still so beautiful and exquisite, but her appearance when she was not wearing a hood was already ingrained in Helian Cheng's mind, and as soon as he saw this smiling face, the appearance at that time would appear in his brain, and he almost instinctively had a rejection reaction.

Gu Ling knew that if her hair did not return to its original appearance, the emperor would not like her for a day, but she would not stay in the other garden forever, two days ago, her mother had already repaired the book to her father......

As long as you wait patiently, there will definitely be a chance.

However, when Gu Ling saw the emperor helping Fu Guiren to get into the carriage, Fu Guiren touched her stomach, looking happy, but secretly gave her a provocative look, and her teeth itched with anger......

Breath to gas. , but helpless, holding his clothes with both hands. , with a resentful look in his eyes.

Leaving the garden, I went all the way to the west, and then went out of the city gate. About 20 miles from the city gate, there were 4,000 elite soldiers.

After five days, we finally arrived at Tucheng.

The whole city looked a little desolate because it was next to the Yaha Desert, and a gust of wind blew, rolling up the yellow sand and spreading it into the air, and then it fell heavily, and sprinkled people all over their faces.

I don't know if it's next to the Yaha Desert, but after entering the slaughter city, the air becomes very dry, and the wind and sand are also strong.

The area of the slaughtered city is not large, about only half of Youzhou, and the whole city looks dilapidated and old.

The paint on the gates was peeling, the flags on the walls were crooked, and even the equipment of the soldiers defending the city was ordinary swords.

This belongs to the country of Yun, because it is close to Yahasamo, the climate is harsh, it has little value, and it is not afraid of the invasion of other countries, and the precautions are very lax, and the treasury of the imperial court is tight, and it is estimated that there is not much allocation here, so the equipment of the soldiers defending the city is also backward.

Entering the city, the streets are potholed, the shops on both sides are sparsely packed, and there are not many customers entering and leaving.

There are not many pedestrians either, and horseback riders and carriages are rare. Most of them carried baskets on their backs or carried goods on their shoulders, but they looked quite laid-back.

They brought so many soldiers into the city, and the people in the city immediately watched from the sidelines, one by one, tiptoeing and stretching their necks, their eyes full of doubts.

The slaughter of the city had been relatively peaceful for hundreds of years, there were no wars, no very wealthy merchants, only those soldiers who had become accustomed to laxity.

Suddenly so many people came, they had no idea what was going on, in addition to doubts, there was some panic, they were afraid that their peaceful life would be shattered.

Soon after entering the city, there was a sudden sound of gongs in front, and the onlookers immediately made a little commotion, and whispered, "The official is here, the official must know what happened......

"Yes, the imperial court suddenly sent so many soldiers over, is there going to be a war here? Didn't the country of Yunguo and the country of Bego sign a peace agreement? Could it be that this time it was the invasion of Min Yueguo? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, isn't the princess of Min Yueguo going to marry the crown prince? The crown prince has already gone to the country of Min Yue for a dowry, and the two countries will be in-laws in the future, how could the country of Min Yue invade the country of Yun? ”

……

In front is an official sedan chair, and there are eight officials who use gongs to open the way.

The official sedan chair stopped, and out of it came a man in his forties in official uniform.

This man is the official master of the slaughter of the city - Zhizhou Ningxiazhi.

Ningxia Zhi got out of the official sedan chair, immediately saluted Helian Yu, and said respectfully, "Xiaguan greets King Chen, King Chen's residence has been arranged, and the supply of all soldiers is also sufficient." ”

He Lianyu sat on horseback, his apricot brocade clothes lined his figure straight and slender, thick eyebrows were obliquely inserted into his sideburns, his eyes were deep and cold, his thin lips were lightly pursed, and there was a little coldness at the corners of his mouth.

With his eyes raised slightly, he looked at Ning Xia Zhi, "Are you really ready?" ”

Ningxiazhi hurriedly replied: "How dare the lower officials deceive the prince? The official document was delivered three days ago, and the lower official has been preparing it, and it will definitely satisfy the prince. ”

"That's good, you lead the way."

They followed Ningxia all the way to the government office. The soldiers were stationed in the city.

The palace of Tucheng also looks very old, with a court hall in front and a residence in the back, with a simple layout.

When I entered the residence behind the palace, it was refreshing.

Pavilions and water pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, red flowers and willow green, and winding corridors.

This Ningxia Zhi is quite able to enjoy it, and he built his residence like a Jiangnan courtyard in the desolate slaughter city, and there is an air of elegance in the long yellow sand.

Ningxia Zhi led the way in front, walked through an arch, and then pointed to the courtyard in front, "This courtyard is prepared by the lower officials for the prince, there are three wings, the big one is for the prince and the princess, and the other two are for the princess and Miss Su, and there is also a row of side rooms next to the courtyard, so that the guards can live, and the lower officials have arranged a few maids in this small courtyard, and the prince and the princess can ......call them at will."

He thought about it thoroughly, and the arrangement was seamless, but this kind of thing of sloppy and slapping horses, people in officialdom are good at it.

Helian Yu nodded, "That's fine." ”

"I don't know how many days the prince wants to stay in Tucheng? Xia Guan can make some better arrangements......" Ningxia Zhi leaned over and said, a flattering smile on his face.

Helian Yu's gaze swept around coldly, "Tucheng is a small city on the side, but here is as beautiful as the Jiangnan Courtyard, your ability is really good......"

"Didn't you know that the prince was coming? So Xia Guan did some preparations......"

"These pavilions, water pavilions, flowers and trees, can't be built in two or three days, right? It must have cost a lot of money, right? I don't know how much money you have......"

Ning Ningzhi's expression changed suddenly, and his smile froze on his face, "Xiaguan Yulu is not high...... Fortunately, Tucheng is a small town in Biansai, and life is ...... Simple...... There wasn't much money to spend, and the money was used to build a mansion...... It's enough......"

Only then did he understand Helian Yu's words, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Helian Yu is notoriously harsh, for officials and soldiers, how can Ningxia not blow up his heart?

"Listen to you, your money is also very poor, this king is just staying here for one night, tomorrow will enter the Yaha Desert, you can let people prepare some camels, and don't waste silver on the rest......"

Tucheng is so poor, but Ningxia Zhi has built his mansion so beautifully, where does this money come from, Helian Yu has a number in his heart, but the most important thing at the moment is to find the emblem of the four beasts, and this thing will be pursued later.

Maybe Ningxia didn't expect that there would be officials from the imperial court in this kind of small border city, so he became more and more unscrupulous in accumulating wealth......

Hearing Helian Yu say this, Ningxia Zhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. His expression also relaxed a lot......
