The Northern Desert Royal Court is different from the Xia Kingdom, they are nomadic people, and they far exceed the Xia Kingdom by virtue of their military combat effectiveness alone, but they are mostly cavalry, and they are strong on the frontal battlefield, and they have some strength in attacking cities and conquering land.

Gu Qingci was not worried that the Northern Desert Royal Court would suddenly attack the Xia Kingdom, because the Xia Kingdom itself could be said to be the most powerful country in the world, coupled with the cultivation and recuperation over the years, it had already recovered its strength, and as long as the Northern Desert Royal Court was not looking for death, it was impossible to start an all-round war.

What really worried Gu Qingci was the habits of the Northern Desert Royal Court.

This year's weather is particularly cold, and even Langya County is covered with heavy snow, not to mention that the situation of the Northern Desert Royal Court that is still north of it is even worse.

Hitting the grass valley is a popular saying, to put it simply, it is to burn, kill and loot at the border, and then slap your ass and leave. Judging from the experience of previous years, most of the imperial court chose to turn a blind eye, and nothing big would happen anyway.

But Gu Qingci is different, his Changling County is on the border, it must be the first choice to fight the grass valley, I don't know how many people will be ruined when the time comes, although he is not a saint, but as a county parent official, he can't turn a blind eye and listen to it.

In the entire Changling County, the person who knows Gu Qingci the most is Ma Shilian, although the current Gu Qingci is not the previous Gu Qingci, the bottom line of the two of them is actually about the same, but the current Gu Qingci is more sleek and has more means, so Ma Shilian still understands Gu Qingci.

Therefore, as soon as Ma Shilian heard Gu Qingci's arrangement, he immediately reacted and said, "Lord County, are you worried that the people of the Northern Desert will come to Changling County to fight in the Grass Valley?"

Gu Qingci nodded, and said: "There is not much contact between the Northern Desert Royal Court and the Xia Kingdom, and besides, during the days when this county came to Changling County, I have never seen the Northern Desert people come, and now that it is winter, the Northern Desert people have appeared, and they must have come to fight the outpost." ”

Ma Shilian was about to speak, when a canonical historian in the county government suddenly spoke: "Lord County, this matter, the lower officials feel that it still needs to be discussed, our county government has no ability to stop the Northern Desert people, and besides, the imperial court has always acquiesced in this kind of thing, so we don't need to ......."

"Bang"

Gu Qingci suddenly slapped on the table, and the sandalwood table suddenly fell apart, and the loud noise shocked everyone in the conference hall.

Gu Qingci slowly stood up, looked around, his eyes were glowing with cold light, and said coldly: "Except for Zhao Dianshi, who else thinks that the people should not be protected, and who else can make this county ignore the life and death of the people with a clear conscience?"

Today's Gu Qingci's power in Changling County is invincible, and the power of the county government is firmly held in his hands by himself, so that the rest of the county government has no chance to breathe, coupled with the rumors that Gu Qingci killed people without blinking, it suddenly cast a shadow on the hearts of other people in the county government, and even worse, they have begun to break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that no one spoke, Gu Qingci slowly walked in front of Zhao Dianshi and said coldly: "Zhao Dianshi, what do you say?"

In fact, the moment Gu Qingci slapped the table, Zhao Dianshi already regretted it in his heart, blaming Gu Qingci for his humble gentleman and gentle appearance like jade on weekdays, which made him forget the current status of this county lord, but they were all fought with a sword and a sword, and it was even more a word in the county office, how could he be opposed?

Moreover, Gu Qingci's comment that he loves the people like a son is not groundless, this is obvious to all, Zhao Dianshi stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly said: "Big ...... My lord, the lower officer has no other opinions, and I will obey my lord's orders!"

Gu Qingci glanced at Zhao Dianshi coldly, turned around and said slowly: "I, Gu Qingci, reiterate today, if I am not in his position, I will not seek his government, but in his position, I will seek his government, and I will be an official, no matter how big or small the official position, I must put the people first!"

The chief officials of the county government and so on, including the more familiar Pang Shilong and Ma Shilian and others, looked at Gu Qingci's eyes, and they all showed respect, this is from the heart, many people are like this, they are not willing to be the kind of people who dare to be the first in the world, or they think that this kind of person is stupid, but it does not prevent them from admiring that kind of person.

These people are adults in Changling County, but those errand servants are different, they are all people at the bottom, they don't understand politics, they only know whether the officials are doing things for the people, so those errand officers in the council hall all straightened their waists after hearing Gu Qingci's words, many of them have relatives who are not in the city, if the Northern Desert Royal Court fights the grass valley, it is very easy to be hurt.

Now Gu Qingci's attitude has undoubtedly given them a reassurance, and even the eyes of Gu Qingci have been put on with reverence, before he said, many errand soldiers were forced to listen to Gu Qingci due to the situation, and now they agree with Gu Qingci from the bottom of their hearts.

"The county lord has set up an order for the people, and the officials should obey the arrangement!"

Ma Shilian was a qualified subordinate, and immediately stood up and began to shout compliments.

"Yes, yes, yes......"

"Obey your orders!"

“......”

Others immediately followed suit and took a stand.

Gu Qingci nodded slightly and began to assign tasks, while at the same time, the old man Yan in the council hall had been staring at Gu Qingci tightly, with a smile on his face and a luster in his eyes.

......

Qiling Station.

Princess Tang Yun and sword riddle Qin Keqing are sitting in the carriage eating, among the two, one is a person who has been educated in the highest etiquette since childhood, when eating, they will pay attention to the rules and not say a word, and the other is a sword riddle that only knows how to practice swords, when no one asks her, she will not speak, even if someone asks her, she may not necessarily speak.

But the soldiers not far away were bragging in twos and threes, and in this snow-covered mountains and rivers, they were a little popular, and they didn't seem so quiet, but in the carriage, it was too silent.

"Report!"

At this time, a scout suddenly ran over, running very quickly, and a series of footprints fell on the snow, splashing a lot of flying lag, "Report, Princess Qiyu, fifteen miles ahead, a team of Northern Desert centaurs appeared!"

Tang Yun, who was eating, was slightly stunned, pulled the curtain of the car, looked at the scout, and asked, "How many people are there, and are there other ambushes?"

The scout lowered his head and said, "There are about five hundred people, all of them are cavalry, but their target does not seem to be you, Your Highness the Princess. ”

Tang Yun frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

The scout said, "They rushed towards a village there, and their subordinates suspected that they had come to hunt grass valleys, and they happened to be there. ”

"Hit the grass valley!" Tang Yun groaned slightly for a while, lowered the curtain, and a cold voice came out: "Obey all orders, drive immediately, and go another way!"

"Aren't you going to save those people?"
