Return of the Swallow

Chapter 449: Yang County

Views:

Qin Yining wore a plain light green muslin cloth jacket and a black gauze cap, dressed as an ordinary woman, with four silver-faced spies, including Bingtang, Jiyun, and Jingzhe, standing there. Not far from the street corner.

Jing Zhe asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you want to continue to spread the news?"

They were afraid of revealing their identities outside, so they all called Qin Yining his wife.

Qin Yining nodded and said, "Continue. You can't let the master always take the blame. He doesn't want to publicize it, but we can."

Dahan said in a low voice: "I'm just worried that the man above can't understand the achievements of the master, and then it will be sour."

Dahan was the most experienced of the four silver-faced spies who followed Qin Yining, and he was also the best at analyzing the situation.

Qin Yining was amused by his words and couldn't help laughing, "The one who wants to use the policy of ignorance to make everyone become blind and deaf, otherwise it will be difficult to rule. But he doesn't think about it, no one is really a fool. Is it hard to tell who is really good to me and who is fake? To determine how a person is, you only need to look at what he does, not what he says. And to determine how a superior person is, you only need to look at What the people eat and what they wear."

Having said this, Qin Yining turned around and walked towards the mansion gate with a group of people. He whispered again: "Now everyone is hungry, homeless, and worried every day, but someone is still struggling with treasures..."

These are her confidants, and even if she doesn't know all of these things, she knows all about them.

Xiaoman sighed and said: "That's why the saying 'prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer' and so on, the most unlucky people will always be ordinary people."

"Yeah." Everyone agreed in a low voice, and their hearts were desolate.

All of them, none of them had never endured hardships, but the rock candy was born with a silver spoon in it, but the family was also persecuted by the faint king, and finally they were displaced, from the eldest lady to the fate of the servant girl.

Not to mention Qin Yining, who has not had a good life since he was a child.

Therefore, they all understand the suffering of the people best. can best understand their mood.

In many cases, ordinary people don't even care who they are under the jurisdiction of, they only care about whether they can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Is it possible not to be harassed by war

It's a pity that this is a troubled world, especially the land of the Dayan Dynasty, as if it was half cursed, and disasters continue one after another. Sometimes even the most basic food and clothing are extravagant expectations.

The group returned to the front of the yamen with a heavy heart, and Pang Xiao and Gong You were already preparing their horses with their people.

Because of the serious damage to the road and frequent road blockages caused by landslides, they cannot go out this time by car, but can only ride horses.

"My lord, the road in Yangxian is not easy to walk. We may need to climb over the piles of stones on the way. The princess is weak, can you follow?"

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "She's fine, don't look at her soft and weak, but she is not inferior to our men's character, Yangxian also has his dowry Zhuangzi, she wants to go and see. Wouldn't it be good if you could raise food? ?"

Gong You nodded with a smile, and said, "How can a woman who is worthy of the prince be easy? By the way, was the princess a member of the Yan Dynasty before?"

At this time Qin Yining had already approached, heard the words and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Gong, my father was originally the prime minister of the Yan Dynasty, and he was later named the prince and master, and led the Marquis of Anping. Later, the Yan Dynasty was chaotic and decayed, and my father surrendered. Holy."

"Ah! I know, I know! Ling Zun is the one who was known as Zhi Pan An during the reign of Qin Shangshu, isn't Mr. Qin?"

Qin Yining smiled and nodded.

"It turns out that the princess is from a famous family. It's no wonder that this Tongshen's bearing is different from that of ordinary women. Then the dowry and silver money donated this time have sold the house again. It's also Qin Shangshu..."

Qin Yining smiled and said, "It would be great if I could help. My father meant not to show off."

A line of officers heard the words and became grateful again.

Even the casual Jinghuwei and Longxiangjun somewhat admired Prince Zhongshun and Lord Qin at this time. Also understand why they are not prepared to proclaim merit. They just want to do something for the people, they don't want to take away anyone's reputation, and they don't want to get burned.

It is this simple and practical work for the people that makes people even more moving.

Pang Xiao led a jujube red docile mare, and Pang Xiao's black steed also followed, and rubbed Qin Yining with his long face.

Qin Yining was amused, she couldn't help but stretched out her long fingers and touched the horse's mane. Her fair hands were as white as snow under the dark clouds and shiny hair.

Pang Xiao handed the reins of the mare to Qin Yining, and said, "My dark cloud is too violent. Although it likes you very much, it would be dangerous if it is happy to lead you to run wild. This horse has good endurance. , and docile, you ride it."

Qin Yining took the reins and said with a smile, "Okay, but you don't have to worry, my riding skills are okay. I have ridden wild horses outside before, and I have lived with the wild horses for a while."

Qin Yining said, put on the curtain cap, and then stepped on the stirrup, then turned over and rode on the back of the horse.

She is wearing a short robe today, and the long skirt on the lower body is a pleated skirt. When she gets on the horse, the skirt is flying like a butterfly with wings outstretched. The eyes of the people watching are fixed, and she is sitting on the horse's back with a straight back, which really gives people a sense of sassy and heroic.

Pang Xiao's eyes lit up, he patted Qin Yining's hand, then turned around and jumped onto the back of the dark cloud.

Hu Zi also helped Bingtang onto the horse at this time, and couldn't stop joking: "Fortunately, I taught you at least earlier, otherwise wouldn't it be impossible to keep up with us now?"

Bingtang rolled his eyes at him and said, "My wife taught me, not you."

"Ah! How ungrateful you are."

"Who is ungrateful. Drive!" Bingtang flicked the reins and rode to Qin Yining's side.

Hu Zi had no choice but to touch his nose and get on the horse.

Gong You, along with Master Lu and the four young officers, also got on the horse, and went along with Pang Xiao and his party. The remaining Jinghu guards, the silver-faced spy, mingled with the horses of Longxiang's army.

The group left the capital and headed for Yangxian all the way.

Yangxian County is far from the old capital, and it can be reached in half a day without stopping.

But that was when the road used to be good.

There are many Lushan Roads to Yangxian County. This led to landslides and boulders rolling down after the Earth Dragon turned over, and there was no place where the road to Yangxian could be tossed.

There are even no roads in some places, requiring them to lead horses over rocks and cracked mounds.

Gong You was a little worried at first, after all, it is not uncommon for girls to learn horseback riding. Few women can afford to climb mountains and mountains like this.

He said those words when he came, hoping that Pang Xiao would give up taking the woman on the road, but Pang Xiao would not listen, and he had no other way.

But when they got to the mountain road, Gong You, Master Lu and the four officers were really eye-opening.

Qin Yining is extremely dexterous, bold and careful.

For example, in the current section of the road, a large rock rolled down from the mountain and blocked the entire way, leaving only a small narrow road that could accommodate one person for one day. However, on one side of this narrow road is a huge boulder, and on the other side is an abyss, even a horse. Neither would go forward. Qin Yining insisted on holding her jujube red horse to the side and persuaded the jujube red horse to walk over.

This really surprised everyone.

There were even some who were too timid to go. Seeing that a female classmate was so powerful, they all mustered up the courage and walked over without hesitation.

A group of people can really be described as wading through mountains and waters, and they didn't arrive until it was dark after half a day's journey.

The situation in Yangxian County is not much better than before. The only good thing is that Yang County does not have as many buildings as the old capital, and it seems that the broken walls are not so tragic.

There are still many refugees on the streets. Seeing that this group of people led the horses, the team was mighty, and there were many soldiers among them, and the refugees were even more evasive.

Gong You took the group to the county office.

The wall of the county government office was half collapsed by the earthquake. Standing outside the wall, you could see that tents were erected in the courtyard, and many refugees were crowded inside.

Gong You handed over the horse to the officer, entered the yard together with Pang Xiao, Qin Yining and several guards, and shuttled between the tents to the front office.

"Where's your Lizhi County?"

"Ah? You are the prefect of Gong! Why are you here in person? The magistrate has just entered the house, and I'll call you there!"

Gong You explained to Pang Xiao, "That's Li Zhixian's entourage."

Pang Xiao nodded and stood in the courtyard waiting.

Qin Yining looked at the tents all around. Most of the people living there were homeless people whose houses had been destroyed, and some of them lived in a single tent. There are also a few men in a room, or a few women with children in a room.

It seems that the magistrate of Yang County loves the people like a son.

It's just that Qin Yining has some doubts that the treasure will come to Yangxian. She felt that Li Qitian's spies might be wrong. Because the mountain road when they came was really too difficult to walk.

Especially the mountain near Yangxian, the mountain road was blocked by boulders, and she walked over with trepidation on the side of the horse. Where can the convoy of that treasure pass smoothly

Unless there is another way to Laiyang County.

While he was thinking about it, Li Zhixian walked out with his entourage quickly. As soon as he saw Gong You, he didn't show any courtesy.

Li Zhixian was a man in his late thirties, with a white face and no beards.

Gong You coughed and said, "Go ahead and talk about it."

Only then did Li Zhixian realize that there were people beside him. He touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "I'm rude. I'm really too anxious to lose my composure. Let's talk inside."

Pang Xiao smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and followed Qin Yining and his entourage into the house.

Gong You then introduced: "Li Zhixian, this is the disaster relief ambassador sent by the sage, Prince Zhongshun Wuyingdian Pang University."

Although this introduction is comprehensive, it is also slightly nondescript.

But when Li Zhixian heard this, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly saluted Pang Xiao: "It turned out to be the prince! It's really disrespectful, disrespectful."

Pang Xiao returned the salute with a smile, and said, "This king is seeing many victims in the hospital? Li Zhixian has always placed them in the courtyard?"

"Yeah, their house is destroyed. I'm afraid that they will be close to the ruins, and they will catch some kind of disease, which will make everyone under their noses. It's just the lord, has the holy rice not arrived yet? I opened the warehouse and made porridge, Even the thinnest porridge won't last long."

"This king knows about this situation. But this king is also in danger, and the saint's disaster relief money must be delayed for a while."

As soon as Pang Xiao finished speaking, Li Zhixian frowned in embarrassment.

It was Gong You who pulled the person aside and explained what Pang Xiao had done since he came and how much he had donated.
