Chapter 353: Harassment in the Northern Frontier Country
Chapter 353: Harassment in the Northern Frontier Country
"There are Dr. Cheng and others in the security hall, and there are my secret guards, there are no major mistakes, the focus is still on Marshal Shen, how to make him accept this matter is what we should consider now."
After solving this small matter, Chu Ruoqi began to think about Marshal Shen, who was the most troublesome thing.
"When you treated the soldier's wounds today, Marshal Shen's heart had already loosened a little, and now your image in his heart is not just a princess Yan."
"If it's not Princess Yan, who else will it be?" Li Luobing couldn't laugh or cry at Chu Ruoyao's description.
Chu Ruoyan didn't answer Li Luobing's words, but said to herself: "If you inspect the barracks in the future, you and I will go together and appear in front of Marshal Shen." In this way, whether it is the matter of the security hall or the follow-up matter, it will be well solved. Marshal Shen looked very serious, but he was actually a person who was easily soft-hearted. ”
Li Luobing didn't expect that in less than a day, Chu Ruoyan had already guessed Marshal Shen's personality.
"Okay, just do as you say, and if you go to the barracks in the future, I will go with you." After Li Luobing nodded, the two fell asleep with their clothes together.
After returning from the barracks, the two have been nesting in the City Lord's Mansion, planning how to improve the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the barracks, but before they could come up with a practical solution, the opportunity in reality came to the door.
On this day, when the two of them were discussing in the City Lord's Mansion, several people ran here and knocked on the door of the City Lord's Mansion vigorously.
"Someone, someone, someone!" The people were shouting hoarsely outside.
"Does it help you shout like that? The city lord may not necessarily come out, this city lord has rarely appeared since he took office, and you and I don't even remember what he looks like. The people who were with him said suspiciously.
"What if you don't? We have no way to go to the barracks, so we can only come to the City Lord's Mansion. The people who knocked on the door also had a headache, and after turning around, they continued to knock on the door.
The movement outside was heard quite clearly by Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing in the house, they wanted Guo Dong to go out to see what was going on, but before they could give an order, City Lord Li ran out.
He didn't want to deal with this matter, but when he saw that the two of them were going to go out in person, he hurriedly smiled and stopped their next move.
"The prince and the princess just rest here, this is a matter of Chaoyang City, let the lower officials deal with it." After saying that, he walked directly to the door and personally welcomed the people who knocked on the door.
It was the first time for the people to receive such treatment, and at first they were a little suspicious of City Lord Li's purpose, and after entering the City Lord's Mansion with a half-believing attitude, they saw the two people sitting in the City Lord's Mansion, and only then did they somewhat understand City Lord Li's approach.
Because City Lord Li didn't greet them in a big way, many people didn't know about Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao's arrival for the time being, but they just felt that these two people might be very big officials, so they let City Lord Li be very flattering to them like this.
City Lord Li looked at the eyes of these two people, and he already knew what they were thinking.
"Don't look around, if there's something to talk about!" He interrupted the two men's movements.
Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing were present, and City Lord Li could only force himself to be pretentious, usually if the people came to knock on the door, he would have been driven back a long time ago, and even the door of the City Lord's Mansion would not be able to open for him.
After the people sat down, they began to tell the city lord Li what they had encountered.
It turns out that they are also villagers around Chaoyang City, but because they live in the mountains, they are rarely harassed by the northern Xinjiang, but in recent times, their harassment has become more and more frequent, and they will come to the village from time to time to wreak havoc.
Moreover, they were so numerous that the people were no match for them, so they could only let them ransack the village and then leave. When everyone finally eased up their lives, those bandits came again.
"Lord of the City, I really don't want to live like this." The people said to City Lord Li with sad faces.
City Lord Li was originally forced to sit in this position, so naturally he would not have any good suggestions, he thought about it for a long time, and did not say any solution, but just muttered a few words.
"You should go to the barracks for such a thing, just let the barracks send people to drive the people from the northern frontier away, even if you come to the City Lord's Mansion, there are not so many troops here that can be sent to protect you."
City Lord Li originally just wanted to complain, but he didn't expect that the few words he muttered in a low voice were heard by Chu Ruoyao.
"It's not right for City Lord Li to say that." Chu Ruoyao's words made City Lord Li raise his head suddenly, how could she forget that there were still these two people in front of her, and she unconsciously said the words she muttered in her heart directly.
He pulled the corners of his mouth, looked at Chu Ruoyan with a gesture of admitting his mistake, and knew that the next thing to greet him would be Chu Ruoyao's reprimand.
"Since you are the city lord of Chaoyang City, it is only natural that the people will come to you for help if they have something. Although you don't have so many people, you can tell Marshal Shen your orders and ask him to send troops to protect the people, so that he will be famous. ”
After listening to Chu Ruoyao's words, Li Luobing's eyes lit up, the two of them were worried about how to improve the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the barracks, and this time was an excellent opportunity.
As soon as he heard that he was going to make contact with Marshal Shen, City Lord Li didn't believe it at all. In his eyes, Marshal Shen is a murderous guy, and it is impossible for him to live in peace with such a person in his life, and it is already a good thing to barely say a few words.
After Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing saw City Lord Li's expression, they knew that he still had a deep prejudice against Marshal Shen in his heart.
"Why does the city lord hate Marshal Shen so much?"
"Hate? No no. After hearing this, City Lord Li hurriedly denied it.
"I don't hate it, I just don't want to get into too much trouble, the well water doesn't interfere with the river water, he will be his marshal, and I will be my city lord." City Lord Li replied as a matter of course, but his words were directly rejected by Chu Ruoyao.
"The two of you are in Chaoyang City, so you should be jointly responsible for the affairs in the city, and it is impossible to draw the boundaries so clearly. In case one day the northern frontier really breaks through the city of Chaoyang City, do you think you, the city lord, can still keep it? ”
City Lord Li also knew that he was at a loss, and after listening to Chu Ruoyan say a few words, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Did you go to the barracks before you came here?" Li Luobing, who was next to him, suddenly asked the people.
Hearing a woman next to her actually talking about these things, the people were very surprised.
At this time, he remembered that from the moment he entered the door, he had not mentioned the identities of these two people to the people, and he was scared out of a cold sweat, so he quickly stood up and told the people who came to the city lord's mansion their identities.
"King Yan? Is it the Yan King who has been stupid for many years before? One of the people asked subconsciously.
When the man who came with him heard this, his face immediately changed, and he quickly touched him and signaled him not to talk nonsense.
The man who had just opened his mouth immediately changed his face, looked at Chu Ruoyan with a frightened expression, and knelt on the ground with a plop, and kept kowtowing to him.
"King Yan forgives the sin, the grass people shouldn't talk nonsense, the grass people ......"
"Alright, no need to say it." Before he could finish his words, Chu Ruoya interrupted him.
"It's just a small thing, don't take it to heart, let's continue to talk about your business!" Chu Ruoyan opened her mouth indifferently and didn't blame them.
"The grass people didn't go to the barracks," these people settled down and answered the question that Li Luobing had just asked them.
"That kind of place is not something we can enter casually, and I heard that the entire barracks are also fighting against the invasion of the northern frontier, so we are really desperate, so we came to the City Lord's Mansion." There was a lot of helplessness in the tone of these people.
"But I didn't expect to meet King Yan, Princess Yan, please help the grass people." These people felt that Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing would definitely be able to help them, so they completely ignored City Lord Li.
"How often do people from Northern Xinjiang go to the village?" Chu Ruoyan asked. The reason for asking this question was that he wanted to know some of the rules of harassment of the villagers in Northern Xinjiang, no matter what, the people of Northern Xinjiang are also human beings, and it is impossible for them to go to the village every day to make trouble.
After hearing Chu Ruoyao's question, these people thought about it carefully: "There are almost every month, and when it's good, it's just to snatch things, but there are also villagers who are directly killed by them because they anger them." ”
After saying this, several people trembled in unison, these things left a very heavy shadow on their hearts, and many people would not sleep in the middle of the night.
Chu Ruoyu fell into deep thought after listening to the words of these people, Marshal Shen's side was already under considerable pressure in order to deal with the intrusion of the large army in Northern Xinjiang, so he was much negligent in protecting the villagers.
Seeing that Chu Ruoyan no longer spoke, the people hurriedly took a few steps forward for fear that they would be ignored.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please help our village. Now most of the people in the village are old people, women and children, and they have no power to fight back against the bandits in northern Xinjiang, and sometimes even women are directly taken away by the people in northern Xinjiang. ”
Hearing that the matter had reached such a serious point, Chu Ruoyao raised his eyes and looked at City Lord Li, who was very weak by his hope.
"His Royal Highness King Yan," City Lord Li said directly, "Xia Guan is just a city lord, this bandit really has no way to deal with it, and the strength in the City Lord's Mansion is not comparable to the bandit at all." ”
