Chapter 352: City Lord's Mansion and Barracks
"The marshal is polite, since we have come to Chaoyang City, we should do these things," Li Luobing turned his gaze to Chu Ruoyao after speaking, "Lord Wang, we have been out for too long, since the northern frontier will not invade again for the time being, then we should go back." ”
Chu Ruoyan nodded, and the two of them said a little goodbye to Marshal Shen and walked out of the tent, and when they got out of the tent, they found that City Lord Li, who had been following him before, didn't know where he had gone.
"Qiao Su, have you seen City Lord Li?" Li Luobing asked as he looked around. Qiao Su shook his head, they didn't find City Lord Li when they entered the tent, they couldn't have run away because they were afraid, right?
"Guo Dong, you go look around." Chu Ruoyan was a little crying and laughing, they came to the barracks with the city lord, but they lost the city lord when they left. After Guo Dong heard Chu Ruoyao's words, he began to look around in the barracks, and just when they were about to get impatient, City Lord Li, who heard the movement, took the initiative to walk out.
"King Yan, are you going back now?" City Lord Li's whole person looked particularly listless.
"Why didn't you see City Lord Li?"
"This ...... Xia Guan found a place to rest on his own. City Lord Li said with a somewhat embarrassed expression. Chu Ruoyan looked behind him, the so-called resting place was actually a place where the soldiers put grain and grass on weekdays, and there was only a small gap, but he didn't expect City Lord Li to hide there.
After seeing that the people around him were looking at him, City Lord Li hurriedly lowered his head and tugged at his somewhat wrinkled clothes, and walked quickly to Chu Ruoyi's side.
"Is that where City Lord Li rests?" Chu Ruoyao's words revealed doubts.
"These things are allowed to go back to the City Lord's Mansion and then talk to King Yan in detail, now let's hurry up!" City Lord Li's attitude at this time was diametrically opposed to the kind of friction he had when he first entered the barracks, and he couldn't wait for him to fly back to the City Lord's Mansion immediately.
Seeing him so anxious, everyone stopped staying, walked out of the barracks quickly, got into the carriage, and returned directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
After entering the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Li's whole person relaxed, and he suddenly felt hungry, before with King Yan and Princess Yan spinning in a row, he was responding to enemy attacks and entering the barracks, and he didn't even have a little time to breathe, this was the first time he had been like this as a city lord.
Chu Ruoyao was drinking tea in the main hall, looking at the short and fat City Lord Li and panting constantly.
"Didn't City Lord Li say that he would explain his whereabouts to this king after he came back? I'm waiting here! After hearing Chu Ruoyao's words, City Lord Li remembered that there was such a thing, and he quickly put down the teacup in his hand and said to Chu Ruoyao.
"The officials are really scared, so they ......"
After listening to City Lord Li's explanation, Chu Ruoyan really realized what kind of person this City Lord Li was.
When he and Li Luobing were treating the wounded soldiers, the city lord Li was so scared that he didn't dare to enter the military tent at all, so he could only linger outside the tent. And because he didn't come to the barracks, many soldiers didn't know him, and subconsciously regarded him as an enemy and always interrogated him.
In order to avoid the interrogation of these soldiers, the city lord Li searched everywhere for a hiding place, and finally found it.
"To do such a thing, the lower officials are also in a hurry, and they will definitely not do it again in the future." Looking at the eyes of Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao, City Lord Li was so embarrassed that his face turned red.
"King Yan, Princess Yan, City Lord, you can have dinner now." When the atmosphere was awkward, the arrival of the servant broke the situation, and City Lord Li also took the opportunity to change the topic and bring the matter over.
He beckoned Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing to have dinner together, and then went directly back to his room.
After Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao left the main hall, they also returned to the room that City Lord Li had prepared for them before.
"I didn't expect that something like that happened when we just went to the barracks during the day, and I don't know what we will face next." Thinking of Fang Cai's matter, Li Luobing felt a little nervous.
"This is enough to explain the current situation in Chaoyang City, according to Marshal Shen, this is only a relatively good situation, and it is much more powerful than this when it is serious now." Chu Ruoyao's expression was also very serious.
"When I watched it today, I always felt that the relationship between Marshal Shen and City Lord Li was a little strange, I don't know what Yang Zhen and they have found?"
Chu Ruoyan smiled: "You will know after a while, with Yang Zhen's ability, he should have almost mastered it by now."
While the two were discussing this matter, Yang Zhen's voice sounded outside the door.
"Your Royal Highness, the prince, the princess, my subordinates have something to report." Yang Zhen said outside.
Chu Ruoyan motioned for him to come in, and after coming in, Yang Zhen took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Chu Ruoqi and Li Luobing.
"This is the news about City Lord Li collected by his subordinates, and in order for His Highness and the princess to look at it conveniently, his subordinates will write down all the important content on paper."
Li Luobing first picked up the paper and looked at it, the reason why City Lord Li has been sitting firmly in Chaoyang City for so long is not that there is any strength behind it, in fact, the main reason is that no one wants to be the city lord of Chaoyang City at all.
This is still the former city lord who was kind to the city lord Li, and forced him to be the city lord after the ducks were put on the shelves, and in the hearts of the people, this city lord is not the same as not, which has become what it is now.
Moreover, Chaoyang City is very chaotic, because the City Lord's Mansion and the barracks have always been separated, which has led to the fact that the people in the barracks don't know City Lord Li at all, and even if they do, they don't take him seriously.
"It's no wonder that Chaoyang City has become a mess today, the two could have been interdependent, but they were clearly distinguished, and the people were disheartened, how could they win the people of Northern Xinjiang?"
After Li Luobing finished reading it, he put the paper on the other side and said to Chu Ruoyi.
Chu Ruoyao nodded, feeling that what Li Luobing said was very reasonable.
"So what's next? I think we should first unite the city lord and the barracks, and don't keep dividing and ruling like now, otherwise Chaoyang City will never be stable. ”
"But this matter is easier said than done, how can the soldiers of Chaoyang City and the City Lord's Mansion change their prejudices against each other overnight after so many years?"
Although Chu Ruoyan knew that this was a good way, she also knew that the process would be very difficult.
Li Luobing smiled and gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry too much, in fact, to put it bluntly, the two of them just don't know each other well enough, and we just haven't trained soldiers when we come to Chaoyang City." When the time comes, let City Lord Li go to observe when he is training, and even let him give orders in person. ”
"Calling the shots yourself? Looking at City Lord Li's appearance, he didn't even want to enter the barracks, how could he still watch them train his troops? Before Chu Ruoyi could speak, Yang Zhen took the lead in speaking.
"Didn't you find that City Lord Li is particularly good-looking?" Li Luobing said with a skeptical look on the two of them.
"Is there any connection between good face and settling the relationship between the city lord and the barracks?" Yang Zhen opened his mouth and asked, at this time, Chu Ruoyan had already understood what Li Luobing meant.
He thought about Li Luobing's words, and then nodded: "City Lord Li is indeed very good-looking, he was so scared when he went up to the city tower, and finally gritted his teeth and walked up. Now when she thinks back to his demeanor, Chu Ruoyan still wants to laugh a little.
"We can grasp his mentality, make his image taller in front of the soldiers, and let him ride the tiger when the time comes, and he will continue to do many things." Li Luobing told Chu Ruoyao about his plan.
"As long as he persists, then he will subtly change the soldiers' minds about them, and only in this way will it really be beneficial to Chaoyang City."
After listening to what she said, Chu Ruoyan did feel that this was a feasible way, although I don't know if City Lord Li would agree for the sake of his own face, but at least he had a direction to try.
After the two discussed how to improve the relationship between the city lord Li and the soldiers in the barracks, they began to talk about medicine again.
"Didn't you say that the Chaoyang City Medical Center was scarce, and many medicines were not prepared?" After seeing Li Luobing nodding, Chu Ruoyan continued.
"Now that my manpower has been arranged, and on the side of the security hall, Dr. Cheng has also known about these things, and I heard that he can solve your problems, and everyone has become extremely positive."
"What do you mean by solving my problems?" Li Luobing was a little confused about what Chu Ruoyao said like this.
"Haven't you always felt that medicine is a huge difficulty for you? Now this difficulty has been solved. ”
"But......" Li Luobing hesitated.
Chu Ruoyan was indeed thinking about herself, but since the Yan Wangfu Mansion was raided, their silver was not much, and they spent a lot of money in the process of hurrying, even if they directly purchased medicine from the Security Hall, it would cost a lot of silver taels.
Chu Ruoyan may not know any of these details, but looking at Chu Ruoyao's excited appearance, Li Luobing couldn't bear to tell him the truth of the matter.
In her opinion, even if Chu Ruoyan has experienced a lot, he is also a prince and has never been short of silver, so she doesn't know that even a little silver is very important to them now.
"You don't have to worry, I've got it all arranged." Chu Ruoyan said proudly around Li Luobing.
Seeing her so excited, Li Luobing couldn't interrupt, so he could only smile and nodded.
