Chapter 155: Arriving at Ning City

"Wow! Finally arrived in Ningcheng. I, Wu Yuming, have come back to life." After more than half a month of traveling, they finally came to the downstairs of Ningcheng.

Looking at Ning Cheng, who closed the city gates. Everyone has a sense of relief,

Wu Yuming was devastated by the bumps of the carriage along the way. He walked all the way and basically threw up all the way. Shi Lian said that he was not accustomed to water and soil, but whether it was a needle or a drink, it had no effect.

Only slightly relieved. There's no way to keep him from feeling uncomfortable. Dizzy all day. He didn't want to do anything.

Shi Lian looked at the closed city gate. Let the big guys have a full meal outside first. Then let Haden go over and open the city gate.

After a while, the gates slowly opened. The leading guard. Took them directly to the Taishou Mansion.

Ningcheng's Taishou is called Xu Tao. People have inquired about what they are doing. This man is timid and cowardly. But there is a talent that has endured the world.

Therefore, Emperor Gong Yuhao asked him to come to Ningcheng to be a taishou. But I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

When I entered Ningcheng, I was devastated. There are almost no people to be seen on the streets. Families are closed. Not even the stall vendors.

"Little Commander, can you tell us about the current situation in Ningcheng?" Shi Lian sat outside the carriage and asked, and the guard who was going to take them to the Taishou Mansion said.

"Alas! Back to the princess's words, our Ningcheng suffered this catastrophe. A lot of young adults have died. Leaving behind many orphans and widows, Ningcheng is still short of food. Some died of sickness, and some died of starvation. Poor thing!" The guard sighed, a look of regret on his face.

Oh, yes! They used to be fine in Ningcheng. The wind and rain are smooth. The people live and work in peace and contentment. There are neither natural nor man-made disasters.

But this year, I don't know why. Just a few months ago, a strange illness began to appear in Ningcheng. No matter how you treat it, you can't cure it. And all the people who died were young adults. Even the old man and the old lady had this disease, although the symptoms were very severe. But no matter what, I still breathe a sigh of relief.

But the young adults all died inexplicably. It's miserable.

"Didn't the imperial court let the grain be delivered?" Shi Lian asked puzzled. Before she came, she knew that her father not only sowed one million taels of disaster relief money to Ning Cheng. He also had 100,000 stone of grain escorted. How can people starve to death?

"We in Ningcheng have not received any supplies or disaster relief silver." The guard said.

"How so. When this princess sees you, she will definitely ask carefully." Shi Lian said angrily.

"Little ones don't know. The small one is that I haven't heard that there are two disaster relief silver, and disaster relief food transported to our Ningcheng. Our Ningcheng Taishou has opened a warehouse to release grain, but it is simply a drop in the bucket. The people are suffering from an infectious disease, and they can't set up porridge sheds, so they can only send some food to each family." The guard said.

"Where are the sick people now? Or if anyone in the whole city of Ning is plagued?" Shi Lian asked,

"Most of the people who are sick now are quarantined in the townships. There are no sick people in the city. But everyone is afraid of getting sick, and they are panicking. So I didn't dare to go out. I don't dare to open it." The guard replied.

"Well, the princess basically understands the situation. This princess is here. Either way, it will help you through this difficulty. Wait for the princess to ask someone to contact the grain and grass." Shi Lian said. Call Wang Licheng. Let him send a few people to other towns to buy food.

He gave them a hundred thousand taels of silver. Wang Licheng was a little stunned. The princess believes in them like this, for the sake of the people. She actually paid out of her own pocket. It's so impressive.

"The subordinates will live up to the high expectations of the mother. My subordinates will do it myself." Wang Licheng said to Shi Lian very respectfully.

"Hmm! Whether the people of Ningcheng can survive this pass safely depends on whether the king can buy food." Shi Lian said.

"Listen. In the absence of this commander, you must obey the command of the princess." Wang Licheng said to his men.

"We will take the princess as the head of the horse. Rest assured, Ruler King." The Guards, in unison.

Seeing Ning Cheng's miserable appearance, their hearts were also turbulent. The princess of war can take out so many silver taels to buy food for the common people. How can you not let them admire.

Along the way, the princess of war. Yes to them as if they were their own brothers and sisters, to be cared for, to give them the same food as her. Never was that they were seen by people at the moment. This is already very valuable.

Don't say let them listen to the orders of the princess of war. Even if they were to die for the princess of war, they would be willing, but it was a pity that they were on an errand in the palace. How nice it would be if they were the subordinates of the War Princess!

What a happy thing it is to have such a reasonable master who will consider his subordinates in everything.

It's not like being on an errand in the palace. It's about living with your head tied to your belt. If one day is not good, which master is offended, he will be punished at least. If it's serious, they won't deal with you openly, and many of them are playing tricks behind their backs. Makes you unguardable.

They have a lot of brothers. Because of offending those official families. It's all solved by God unknowingly. That's really life, no death, no corpse. They live every day in fear and on thin ice.

Thankfully, they had a good ruler, and the king was an upright man. Sociable. So he ran errands under him. As long as there are no major mistakes. They will all have to worry about their lives.

If their master is the princess of war. How happy they must be!

They have heard that since the War Princess came to the War King's Mansion. They fought against the king's subordinates. Whose moon silver is not turned over. And that's not all.

They can also take a weekly day off. On duty for six days. You can also take a day off. The princess of war said. It's called a combination of work and rest.

Everyone needs to have their own private space. You can't be trapped in the house every day. You have to relax when it's time to relax. Give them time to rest, so they can have plenty of time. You can be a single dog, go after the girl you love, although they don't know what a single dog means.

If you have a daughter-in-law and children, you can accompany your daughter-in-law and children more. If you don't have it, you can accompany your father and mother more. It's just to give you time anyway. So there will be four days off in a month, how comfortable and comfortable.

Which is like them. There is only one day of rest in a month. And if there are temporary tasks. They can't rest yet. Really compared to the War King's Mansion, they are nothing.

And that's not all. Everyone in the War King's Mansion can still read. The princess of war will arrange people every day. Teach them to read and write, what a good master. If only they could have such a master? It's a blessing for three lives.

If you can wait for them to return to the palace. It can be like the princess of war to keep them by her side. His Majesty the Emperor is so fond of the princess of war. War princess Niangniang, if you just want to keep a few Royal Forest Army by your side. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely agree.

Shi Lian didn't know that these little ninety-nine in the hearts of the Royal Forest Army. She looked at the streets so depressed and empty. I can't imagine how prosperous it was back then.

"War princess Niangniang, the Taishou Mansion has arrived." The guards guarding the city said respectfully.

"Well, you can go back first." Shi Lian asked the guards guarding the city who led the way to say.

"Okay, War Princess, the little one will retire." The guards of the city respectfully retired. He has a very good image of this war princess.

The princess of war is very easy-going. Not at all as rumored. It's a tigress. Even the prince of war didn't pay attention to it. Pampered and proud. actually asked the prime minister to perform monkey tricks for him at the palace banquet. It's just too arrogant.

But along the way in the conversation. The guards guarding the city were immediately right, and the rumors about the princess of war were shaken a little.

"Who are you?" Haden stepped forward and knocked on the door of the Taishou Mansion. But after knocking for a while, no one came to open the door for them.

"Princess Zhan Niangniang, I was ordered to come to Ningcheng to treat the people of Ningcheng. Please open the door as soon as possible." Haden stepped forward and shouted.

After a long while, the gate of the Taishou Mansion slowly opened. Out came a rickety old man. He opened the door tremblingly and came out.

"Who are you? What is the matter with coming to the Taishou Mansion?" Rickety old man. He said in a cold voice.

"Blind your dog's eyes. Sitting in the carriage was the princess of war. It was the minister sent by the emperor to Ningcheng to solve the plague. Let you come out and meet you." Haden reprimanded directly

Road.

"You said you were the princess of war? Yesterday, some people said that it was the princess of war! More than you have with you. Do you know where they are now?" Rickety old man. Said deliberately with an appetite.

"Where?" Yudian asked subconsciously.

"In Ningcheng Mansion, what about staying in the prison? If you know each other, get out of here. Otherwise, don't blame the old man for being unkind. A bunch of crooks? The person who wears it looks like a dog. dared to come to the Taishou Mansion to pretend to be the princess of war. It's just not boring. Hurry up and get out. Otherwise, Lao Tzu will let you all go to jail." The rickety old man said.

"Old man, did someone pretend to be the princess of war yesterday to come to the Taishou Mansion to deceive?" Shi Lian said softly.

"Don't ask. Either get out of here. Either the old man will have you put in a cell." The rickety old man said.

"Grandpa, why are you so sure that we are fake war princesses?" Shi Lian asked. He wondered what it was that would be boring enough to run into a plague-ridden city to impersonate him. Swagger. also ran to the Taishou Mansion to cheat.

"Let's go. The old man doesn't care if you're all about to leave?" The rickety old man said impatiently.

"Grandpa, no matter what, even if we are fake, you still want us to make a decision after meeting Taishou, right? What if we were to be true?" Shi Lian said with a smile.

"The old man is in charge of everything. How can I have time to see you pretenders?" The rickety old man said menacingly.

"It's true or not. Seeing that you are too self-controlled, you decide. Feather Electric. Since he's in the way, knock it open for me." Shi Lian's good temper, at this moment, was completely irritated.
