The chariots and horses walked on a wide gallop road, and the width of this gallop was about 16 lanes in both directions.

It is a road left by the previous dynasty for the transportation of monsters and some large objects, which seems to have been built by magic, like gold and stone, and some like hardened cement floors, connecting major cities, like the earth's highway, but this is much more durable than high-speed, and the imperial court also sends people to clean and maintain it every year.

It's a pity that the monsters and monsters have disappeared, leaving this avenue alone, silently telling the strength of the original Ji Dynasty.

Sitting in the carriage, the autumn wind is beating on the window, and it is about to enter winter.

"Zhuang Lang, what are you thinking?" The soft voice interrupted Zhuang Xun's thoughts, and Li Ruxi's worried expression was met by him.

"When I saw the messy farmland on both sides, I felt like I had a heavy responsibility." Zhuang Xun pulled up the curtains, and he had already arrived at Jiannan Road, and it was Chengguo to cross the river from Jiannan Road to the north.

There are two roads to take, Hebei Road and Jiannan Road, but he thought that there was a high probability that he would take office in Jiannan Road in the future, so he also took Jiannan Road.

The situation is counted as ten rooms and nine empty, and it has been turned into a rotten land, Siqin Shengjing, you are not a person.

"There is no need to worry too much, as long as there is peace, the population will return, and this land will flourish again." Li Ruxi appeased Zhuang Xun and said.

"This is my responsibility, like a debt, what I learned in my hometown is that if you can't let the people be stable and prosperous, then it is the dereliction of duty of the officials."

Zhuang Xun, or anyone who has a bit of a hobby of history, has the dream of being an ancient sage and stabilizing the world.

But it really crossed, in the face of this kind of scene of ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the destruction of farmland, it is a sense of powerlessness, and what I studied in college and high school is not related to the problems I have to deal with now, and it can also be said that I am not related.

I didn't think about being an official before, but after I became an official, I was crazy about supplementing my knowledge, and what I supplemented was also dealing with officials, but now I am facing the farmland and the lack of people in the village, what is my mood?

"It's okay, it's okay, Zhuang Lang will definitely be able to govern this place, if you feel difficult, Ji'er will beg her father when the time comes, negotiate as long as Jiannan Road, not Hebei Province, let Zhuang Lang take over Hebei Province." Li Ruxi looked at Zhuang Xun's worried look and took the initiative to say.

"National affairs, how can it be such a child's play, besides, where is not governance, if you can really govern Jiannan Dao back to its original level, isn't it also a merit?" Zhuang Xun rejected Li Ruxi's proposal.

At this moment, he didn't feel that he could have the capital to survive after the appearance of the Emperor Star, and he could rest assured that he would recover his vitality, he felt that he had already completed his merits, and he would go to Siqin Mi to cultivate immortals in the next life.

Take a look at Li Ruji, and take her with you, if you can.

"The geographical location of Jiannan Province is more important, and Hebei Province also has to face the invasion of the Hu people, and there is defensive pressure, and the ministers are not necessarily willing to ask for it." Li Ru said with relief.

"Is that so? Maybe Chengguo can govern this place better with manpower. Zhuang asked him to sigh and said.

Lifting the curtains, the cold wind poured over his face, cooling his worries.

"Xiucai, where is this?" Zhuang Xun asked He Jung, who was riding a horse next to him.

"Benefactor, I've arrived in Xihe County." He Jungs rode a horse, like a cavalryman in front and behind, wrapped in cotton cloth, to meet the biting bones of the autumn wind.

"Didn't you hear that there are a lot of grasslands in Xihe County?" Zhuang Xun has the impression that Xihe County is a place where horses are produced, so most of Yindu's horses come from Xihe County.

"Most of them are in Wusheng Mountain, that is, the mountain range on the right side of Chengdieguan, and people are still willing to grow some food near the water." Jungko said.

"The original Xihe County is very rich, and the King of Xihe is also a strong candidate for the future king, with grain and horses......" He Jun did not continue.

Zhuang Xun also understood, the spiritual pass was broken, the army of Youguo had harmed here, Xihe County had changed from rich to poor, the foundation was still there, but people were no longer there, and talent was the greatest wealth.

"Xihe County, Xihe County, has been beaten by people here before." Zhuang Xun recalled the previous burial of Si Qinmi, who was thrown away by the Zhenguo Mansion with a small piece of envelope, and then snatched away by the homeless.

"It's really hateful, where did it hurt?" When Li Ruji heard this, her eyebrows frowned, and although it had passed, she still felt worried.

"It's been a long time ago, it's the time to bury the daughter of the Siqin family, I understand their anger, and I won't rise to this group."

Zhuang Xun said tolerantly, he was beaten, although he almost cried a little embarrassed later, but he did gain Siqin Mi's favor, and when he thought of all these grievances, he was compensated for by the sweet and soft wife, and he was not so angry.

"But if you want me to forgive the gang who beat me, I will take revenge!" Zhuang Xun clarified the relationship and said that a person's kindness does not mean that he wants to be a virgin, he is an ordinary person, who has kindness and revenge.

"It's natural, but Zhuang Lang, do you remember who hit you?" Li Ruji's eyes were full of brilliance, and her satisfaction with Zhuang Xun was multifaceted, and she was kind and forbearing, but not cowardly.

"I just can't remember." Zhuang Xun smiled bitterly.

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember, maybe they all died in that corner, Zhuang Lang, can you tell me how you buried the daughter of the Siqin family in the first place? After all, the rumors are distorted. "Li Ruxi very much wants to understand Zhuang Xun deeply and meticulously.

Zhuang Xun was awarded filial piety, and naturally wanted to hear the real situation.

"It's not something that can't be said......"

Zhuang Xun told the story, including the regret of guarding the coffin at night, the idea of wanting to give up a moment after being beaten, and the difficulty of the soldiers, Zhuang Xun stopped.

In fact, I should thank these soldiers, I don't know if it was self-defeating or deliberately arranged.

"I see, no wonder it is rumored that Zhuang Lang has a connection with the daughter of the Siqin family." Hearing the difficulties described in Zhuang Xun's mouth, Li Ruxi showed distress, this kind of retrograde posture is both distressing and admirable.

"It's a yin marriage, after all, I had no other way at that time, and I'm thankful that I can bury her." When I recall this kind of miserable life, I have some bittersweet memories, and it will not be more uncomfortable to govern Jiannan Dao.

After hearing this, He Jung's expression looked strange, because he knew that Zhuang Xun's current wife, Wei Lanzhi, was Siqin Mi, and she was originally married with a red thread.

"Then I met my wife...... I was sick, I was taken care of by her, attracted by her gentleness and tolerance, and I liked her deeply. Zhuang Xun deliberately said it to Li Ruxi.

I hope she will know what is wrong, can she take the initiative to quit, and don't hang herself on a tree in someone else's yard.

"Sister Laneige is so gentle, and then she must ask her for advice on how to capture Zhuang Lang's heart." Li Ruxi didn't seem to pay attention to Zhuang Xun's hint at all, and said to Zhuang Xun with admiration.

You, you......

Zhuang Xun looked at the innocent and lovely apricot eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while.

He Jung's has long been avoided, this kind of other people's family affairs, and he is still stupid and stupid, isn't this looking for death?

"What's the matter, it's my sister's disrespect to my sister, and Zhuang Lang is angry?" Li Ruji apologized.

"No, it's my own problem." There was a lot of persistence, but there was no persistence in success.

"I'll go out to breathe, Miss Li will take care of herself." Zhuang Xun walked out of the carriage, he couldn't afford to provoke him, couldn't he hide?

"Zhuang Lang, put on your coat and don't get cold." Li Ruxi stepped forward and tied the blue-gray cloak to Zhuang Xun.

The beauty's soft white fingers inadvertently slid across Zhuang Xun's neck.

The gentle expression, the warm sun, the kind smile, close and charming, Zhuang Xun's heart is shaken.

As the saying goes, men chase women across the mountain, women chase men across the paper, Li Ru Xi these actions, how can Zhuang Xun be indifferent.

He is a person who is good at introspection, and when he saw Li Ruxi's flattering expression, he suddenly felt a little more guilty.

Thinking about it, she is also a noble woman, and now she is so attentive to herself, and she wants to marry herself as a flat wife, her status is obviously higher than herself, but now she is so humble, which man can resist, and Zhuang Xun already likes such a strong sister.

No, Li Ruxi is not as big as Zhuang Xun, how can she be called a sister, but she has the demeanor of a big sister.

"Hey... Son, there is no need for this, every day I come to my carriage, and others will gossip. "I can't bear the tenderness she gives.

"Speaking of them, they won't gossip if they don't come?" Li Ruxi no longer cares about this kind of rumor, and caring about rumors will only reduce the chance of getting close to Zhuang Xun.

A sense of crisis, a strong sense of crisis, I'm going to see the eldest woman, this journey, if you don't grasp it well, will be more and more difficult later.

Wei Lanzhi is a woman who can make a guest and Zhuang Xun and swear sovereignty, even if she agrees to enter the door because of the four virtues, and the two sides will hardly be separated after that, as long as she firmly controls Zhuang Xun, it will be difficult for her to get in in the future.

Now this period of time is his last chance, good things must be grasped, good men must fight for themselves, there is no room for retreat in this matter.

It's just that what she doesn't know is how tolerant and generous Siqin Mi is now, and she wishes that Zhuang Xun would marry a few more concubines, and maybe she will give them time to cultivate their feelings.

"Forget it, you can also go out with me to breathe." Zhuang Xun was defeated after all, and a large factor in his current status was obtained by the influence of Li Ruxi.

Whether it was being reminded to stay by Li Ruxi, or being rescued by her from danger, until the bold confession later, she realized that she was her natural choice, and she already belonged to herself.

Is this a preference? Perhaps.

Is it okay to be pampered and proud?

Just like Si Qinmi's summary, Zhuang Xun is the kind of character who doesn't like to owe people's feelings, he can't hide and never express his position, he used to hate the most, hanging other girls, it's too scummy.

If you can, you can't, if you can't, if you can't hide, you can face it bravely, probably so.

"Good!" Beaming, seeing Zhuang Xun's attitude change, Li Ruxi knew that the corner she had dug was loose.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, Laneige is very good, and she won't stop you." The wife who depends on life and death, Zhuang Xun can understand that Siqin Mi asked him to take a concubine is not a scene, but sincerely wants to find a concubine for himself.

"No matter how good Sister Laneige is, you are good without Zhuang Lang." Just listen to Zhuang Xun's words, who doesn't know the tragedy of the struggle between women, and the well-informed Li Ruxi doesn't believe who is good.

"What good do I have." Zhuang Xun disagreed.

"It's good to hold Hi'er's hand and not let Hi'er go to Daddy, it's very reassuring." Li Ruxi recalled the situation at the time and said with a smile, which also prompted her to make up her mind, she was going to make up her mind about this man.

"Can you not mention this?" Speaking of this, Zhuang Xun was embarrassed to death, he had no strategy, he could only play a scoundrel, and he felt ashamed when he thought about it.

"Don't mention it, don't mention it, let's go......" Li Ru's smile was sweet, and Zhuang Xun's embarrassed appearance was also quite cute.

got out of the carriage, changed into two horses, Zhuang Xun and Li Ruxi rode side by side.

The crowd did not squint.

The cold wind poured into his clothes, but it gave Zhuang Xun a clear mind, he didn't speak, and listened to the wind whistling with Li Ruxi, and listened to the sound of the horse's hooves.

The slow-moving convoy could vaguely see the smoke curling in front of it, and there was more than one stream.

"Is there a village ahead?" Hold the reins and wait for Jungher to catch up.

"That's Chengguo's camp, and now I'm helping to defend Jiannan Dao." Jungsan explained.

"Assist in the defense, don't you remember that the Youjun army has been completely annihilated, and even General Li has returned to the court?" Zhuang Xun was puzzled, what is this kind of place to help with.

"If Hebei Province can't be handled, can the Chengguo army go?" He Jungs glanced at Li Ruxi and whispered to Zhuang Xun.

Zhuang Xun realized in a trance, where is this anti-seclusion country, this is anti-Yu country.

Also, there is no basis for words, who knows if the Yu State will go back on its word after the victory, or whether the army will be stationed at ease.

"Send someone to inquire, is General Li here?" Zhuang Xun became inexplicably nervous, seeing his father-in-law, who is not nervous, especially to say to his father-in-law, I can't marry your daughter as a wife, I can only marry her as a flat wife at most.

"Yes." He Jungs also understood Zhuang Xun's current thoughts a little, and agreed to go down and ride forward.

"Daddy should go back to Chengguo, he won't stay here, at most some subordinates will be left." Li Ruxi comforted Zhuang Xun and said that it was a little funny to see his nervous appearance.

"I'll see you sooner or later, but I haven't thought about what to say to General Li until now." Words are poor, this is much more difficult than normal marriage courting.

"Call your father-in-law as soon as you open your mouth, saying that you want to marry your sister-in-law as your equal wife, what's so difficult about this?" Li Ruxi's voice was not loud or small, and it just reached his ears to ensure that he could hear it.

"Isn't that hard? General Li is sure he won't kill me when he hears it? Zhuang Xun was very pessimistic about visiting his father-in-law.

"If he really wants to do it, he will definitely stop in front of Zhuang Lang and protect Zhuang Lang." Li Ruxi promised that Zhuang Xun was willing to discuss with her what to send in person, and her smile couldn't be suppressed.

"Doesn't that make me seem irresponsible?" Zhuang Xun felt that his face could not be hung up.

"My life is gone, I still take responsibility, Zhuang Lang, you will listen to your sister's child when the time comes, your father will dare to do it, you will hide behind your sister's back, your father loves your child, and you won't beat your child." The main reason is that he can't beat it either.

"Forget it, I'll go and put on the python robe, in case it's really General Li, it's more formal." Zhuang Xun didn't agree to Li Ruxi's words, nor did he refuse, feeling embarrassed to hide behind a woman's back, but when it really came to that situation, it wouldn't work if he didn't hide.

"Do you want Ji'er to help?" Li Ruji was also ready to dismount.

"Just wait for me." Zhuang Xun refused to say that he had not yet reached this kind of service and dressing relationship.

After putting on the python robe and tidying up his appearance, Zhuang Xun walked out and rode on the horse.

"Zhuang Lang has a fairy demeanor, and my father will be satisfied when he sees it." These words have some meaning in the eyes of lovers.

The temperament is a little bit, the fairy demeanor, the fairy will really shake his head when he hears it.

"Don't praise me, how many pounds and taels do I have, I don't know? Look, Hejung is back. "One of the biggest advantages of Zhuang Xun, self-knowledge, is that he knows how many pounds and taels he has, and he will not be proud of other people's boasting.

"Benefactor, the investigation understands, the two generals Yin Jinwen and Sun Jingsheng are stationed, and General Li is not here." He Jung's words made Zhuang Xun's tense nerves relax suddenly.

Then I was a little anxious, how to say, I was a little bit inadequate to review and heard the news of the postponement of the exam, happy and anxious.

"Uncle Yin and Uncle Sun?" Li Ruxi obviously knew these two generals.

"Zhuang Lang, go visit them, otherwise it will seem that our juniors are not polite." Li Ruji pleaded.

"Hmm." Zhuang Xun didn't think about it carefully, thinking that it was just to visit two people.

"Then the lowly post will go to deliver the name post." He Jung's eyes saw a little way, but he didn't have the habit of talking too much, for Zhuang Xun's family affairs, he especially knew that Zhuang Xun's wife was Siqin Mi, who was the person who was promised to Zhuang Xun by the reincarnation king.

Thinking about how to solve this matter in his heart, I don't know if Li Pingyuan listened to his advice last time, after all, it was really in the end, and Zhuang Xun would definitely not marry Li Ruxi as a wife.

Take another look at Zhuang Xun.

"Benefactor, I can only help you get here." He Junghe thought silently, turned the horse's head, and prepared to send the name post.

The team continued to march, and several officials from the Ministry of Rites had quite a few complaints, but if you look at Zhuang Xun's identity, forget it, this team is full of Zhuang Xun's people, or people from the Li family, and what happened to their friends.

The two generals are both in their forties, both have beards, look more old and mature, and both have the general belly of a general, and they look rich.

"Yu Guozhuang inquired, I have seen two generals." Bow your hand.

"Yin Wenjin (Sun Jingsheng) has seen Zhuang Yushi, please sit down in Yushi." The two returned the salute at the same time and invited Zhuang Xun to sit down.

"Uncle Yin, Uncle Sun." After the formal handover of etiquette, Li Ruxi shouted sweetly.

"Second Sister Li is going back to Chengguo, and she is still bringing the imperial history." With the two uncles of Li Ruxi, the atmosphere is much more harmonious, and the relationship is also closer in an instant, like a homely chat.

"Yes, I want to bring Zhuang Lang to see my father, it just so happens that Zhuang Lang is going to become a country this time, killing two birds with one stone." Li Ruxi showed a sweet and shy smile.

It seems that there is a sick beauty of Xizi's sickness, and those who don't know may never have dreamed that she could kill a tiger with three punches.

"It's all called Shanglang, it seems that the great beauty of our country is going to be taken away by Zhuang Yushi." Sun Jingsheng's expression was exaggerated, with the heroic words unique to a soldier.

"It's Ru Ji who finally has someone to ask for it, so now everyone doesn't have to laugh at Daddy anymore." Switch to another way of laughing.

"That's the young men of Chengguo who don't know the goods, and they wasted the opportunity in vain, and you can't look down on the second sister of my rough goods." Sun Jingsheng said regretfully.

"Brother Sun ran away when he saw Ru Xi, Uncle Sun didn't say such things, and Ru Xi has already found someone who loves her life." Li Ruxi boldly expressed her love for Zhuang Xun and took the initiative to take Zhuang Xun's hand.

Zhuang Xun hesitated slightly, held Li Ruxi's hand, and calmly faced the gaze of the two generals.

"That kid doesn't know the goods, but he was cheapened by Zhuang Yushi." Sun Jingsheng lamented.

"It's true that she took advantage of her, she has a delicate body, a gentle personality, and at the same time has excellent force, and she loves her." Li Ruxi has bravely expressed that regardless of the criticism of the world, if Zhuang Xun does not respond, he will not look down on himself.

It is basically certain that it is his future wife, then the bottom line is low.

"Lang Cai Girl, Lang Cai Girl, Second Sister Li can be regarded as having found a lover." Sun Jingsheng congratulated.

"Wen Jin, speak, you won't say a word when people come." Sun Jingsheng hit Yin Wenjin with his elbow.

Yin Wenjin suddenly sobered up, and then shouted: "Second Sister Li's husband is so wow, the posture of the dragon and the phoenix, the posture of the dragon and the phoenix, it is terrible to see it, the general is stupid, how can there be a person with such a bearing and demeanor." ”

The look of surprise was as if he was really shocked.

"Lao Yin, you...... That's right, Zhuang Yushi's dragon and phoenix posture will have a great achievement in the future. Sun Jingsheng didn't expect Yin Wenjin to hold back a big move for such a long time, and directly steal what other immortals said.

"Old Sun, you are talking nonsense, when you were Zhuang Yushi's age, you were just a school captain, Zhuang Yushi was awarded the imperial history at a young age, and he was sent to a foreign country, can you do it." This kind of compliment that pulls in the distance like a relative, and at the same time, it also shows that the two main generals are close, which makes people laugh.

"It's the general's mistake, ah, Second Sister Li has found a good man, and now General Li also has a face on his face." Sun Jingsheng apologized quickly, and the emotions of blessing were at least felt by Zhuang Xun and Li Ruxi.

"Two uncles, don't boast anymore, if you praise again, you will be killed." Li Ruxi watched the two of them blow embarrassedly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and it was not considered to have been blown.

Without any background, relying on the emperor's preference to climb to the position of a high-ranking official of the third grade, and then do what can only be done by the second-grade festival, this unprecedented promotion speed, Li Ruxi is a little suspicious of the rumors that Zhuang Xun is the illegitimate son of King Yu.

"The posture of the dragon and phoenix, this is not what Lao Yin said, it was said by the immortals, the immortals are amazing, the big birds that are a few feet high......" Sun Jingsheng clarified the source of the posture of the dragon and phoenix.

"What did the immortals say? I was a little curious about why the immortals suddenly boasted that they had the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix. ”

Zhuang Xun said curiously, he listened to the story of killing the demon, but it was related to his dragon and phoenix posture, which he was in the clouds, many people were vague, and King Yu did not tell him what he meant, the origin of this dragon and phoenix posture.

Is this knowing that he has an imperial vein, to say such things.

"Ahaha, this, the immortals praise the imperial history of your dragon and phoenix posture......" With sloppy eyes, he looked at Li Ruxi and then at Zhuang Xun.

After a few more conversations, Zhuang Xun and the others refused to be retained by the two generals, took their leave, and prepared to continue north.

"Zhuang Lang, you go first, but I want to ask the immortal what he said." Li Ruji was also full of doubts.

"Okay, remember to tell me if you ask." Zhuang Xun's heart is also the same as a cat scratching.

Just waiting for Li Ruxi to come back, Li Ruxi's face was flushed.

"Too much deception, too much deception!"
