Chapter Seventy-Eight: Yuan Jiangying (On the shelves today, please order the first time.)
The angry roar sounded in the military tent, and the general who was woken up by the non-commissioned officer in the middle of the night was wearing a bright purple silk pajamas, his long loose hair hung down casually behind him, and his dark cheeks were full of fortitude, this person was Yuan Jiangying, the general who defended the city. Below the hall was a non-commissioned officer kneeling on the ground, and I saw her respectfully present the jade that Ethan threw to her with both hands.
The little soldier listened attentively to a few words: "Prince Auxiliary Minister, you dare to stop it?" How many lives do you have that affect General Ben? From time to time, it came: "This is armor, did you let General Ben wear armor to greet Prince Fuzheng?" ”
"General, the Auxiliary Prince is already the imperial husband. The palace is now full of two noble husbands in charge of the government, and the imperial husband has not returned since leaving the palace with the empress, so will the woman next to the imperial husband be the empress? The person who spoke was Yuan Jiangying, who was also the favorite of the think tank star and the concubine, he had a wide dark nightgown on his shoulders, his eyes were lightly raised, and the little guy who had just taken the armor by mistake stepped back with his waist bowed down.
The diminutive soldier saw someone come out, and a spirit hurried forward to meet him, whispering in his ear. The little guy knew the importance of the situation, and pushed the door in again with small steps.
"Master, just now the soldier came to report that he had witnessed that noble man smash the big stone outside the city gate for people to rest on with one palm." The little guy is very clear about the serious report of the matter, and he doesn't dare to add a word or miss a word of caution, and he is afraid of being condemned.
When General Yuan Jiangying heard this, his black face became darker and darker, and the panic on his face was fully revealed. In this 'Weiyang City', where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, has there ever been an official of more than three grades? The answer is no. The depression and bitter cold of 'Weiyang City' are well known, and whoever comes to this place is just a small town that even the enemy will not pay much attention to. Now it's okay, the queen is here, oh my God!
Xi Ning waited for a long time and didn't see anyone, the night wind was cold, and he rode all the way, and his waist was about to break. The world is not the king's land, is this sentence an ornament? When you get to your own territory, you have to eat behind closed doors! Just as she was about to reprimand, the city gate creaked open, and a burly woman, half-draped in an official uniform and with her hair in a crooked bun, came running in a hurry, followed by several soldiers holding torches high, who were in a hastily arranged irregular formation.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" General Yuan Jiangying came to Xi Ningma, knelt down with a "plop", and shouted long live. The sergeant behind her was stunned for a moment, then quickly fell to his knees.
The shouts from the walls cut through the silence of the night, echoing one after the other.
Xi Ning's face was extremely gloomy, this brainless person turned out to be a general, wasn't this sent by the enemy to disgust him?
Ethan had a serious face, as long as it was related to Xi Ning's safety, he would never discount it, no matter who it was, he couldn't touch it.
The sound of horses' hooves walked straight in front of the people who were prostrate on the ground, and every blow hit Yuan Jiangying's heart. He has been an official for many years, and he has never been so embarrassed as he is today, and he never thought that the empress would come to this small city. In fact, what she should be most worried about is the problem of her head, whether she can see the sun tomorrow or not. Her heart trembled, and the sound of horses' hooves faded away. Only then did she dare to get up, her burly figure shook slightly, and the Venus in front of her was dazzling, she reached out and touched the sweat, closed her eyes and eased the dizziness.
Ethan's business circle is all over the bustling downtown area, and of course there is no city like 'Weiyang City'. There are no dwellings within 200 meters of entering the city, and you won't believe it. There was nothing but a few tents in the wilderness. Such abandoned fields are everywhere, and Xi Ning couldn't help but sigh when he saw the 'plains' in the moonlight: If it is in the 21st century, what a business opportunity it should be in the world where every inch of land is valuable!
"Weiyang City was hit by a drought more than a decade ago, and this drought lasted for five years, and many people starved to death. The imperial court also distributed relief food, but the supply still exceeded the demand. The people of the city fled from the famine, and those who starved to death died of starvation, and finally a small number of people remained. Later, after the drought season was relieved, the bitter cold of Weiyang City had become famous, and no one dared to come. The reason why it is called 'Weiyang City' is that it has also had a glorious period, but it is a pity that it has become history. ”
Ethan accompanied Xi Ning, explaining what he knew. Xi Ning is now the master of this world, she has the right to know all this, and she has the ability to change all this.
Xi Ning was silent and continued to move forward.
The dilapidated house only appeared in the eyes of a few people, and the degree of dilapidation was comparable to that of a 'ghost town'. However, the 'ghost city' is dilapidated because there is no one in the city, and the dilapidated 'Weiyang City' is unrelieved.
Although Xi Ning couldn't see it really by the moonlight, she understood that there was no need to look forward to this city, and the countryside in the 21st century was more magnificent than it.
They walked for most of the hour without seeing the word 'inn', and they couldn't help but feel depressed. Yuan Jiangying, who followed all the way behind them, hesitated, and the entourage and non-commissioned officers behind her were also nervous and did not dare to come out.
"General Yuan, lead the way!" Ethan said coldly.
At this time, Yuan Jiangying suddenly got her eyes on the idea and understood the meaning of leading the way, she ran to the front with a smile and led everyone to walk like a yamen. Those non-commissioned officers who have followed Yuan Jiangying for many years can't believe that their soil emperor and the indisputable General Yuan will also have such a dog-legged side.
The high black plaque is engraved with "Yamen", the gate is open, and there is a group of people kneeling under the stairs at the door, and the leader at the front is wearing official uniforms, and at a glance it is the county order of 'Weiyang City'. Ethan's brows moved slightly, but he didn't say anything anymore, and asked the shadow to arrange the horses and the people who followed him, he and Xi Ning followed the footsteps of the county order, came to the room for the night tonight, and ordered a few dishes to solve the problem of food and clothing.
Xi Ning ate and drank to his heart's content, and fell asleep. She would never have thought that because of her appearance, this 'Weiyang City' would become the real Weiyang City, and those who had eaten the imperial grain and the black veil on their heads had not slept all night, their eyes were red. This night, they continued to dispatch troops, sent letters out of the city, and went to the yamen to keep an eye on them, and they were fortunate to have a night of suffering this sleepless night.
Yuan Jiangying rushed back to the camp and stayed for half an hour, and then came out again, wearing an official uniform and a high bun, and her image suddenly changed a lot. She selected 20 elite soldiers and arranged them to patrol in four groups near the yamen. And she herself sent someone to rectify the discipline of the generals overnight, and issued ten bans in a row. The military heart was puzzled overnight, speculating with each other whether it was going to be a war, so whether the court should allocate the money owed to the imperial court.
The shadow stood on the roof, the black commander in a black scarf and a scarf, standing in the wind and listening to all the intrigues under the night, or the sound of silent breathing. He didn't move, looking at the group of people patrolling Hache in front of the door.
