I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Qi said: "You arrange it."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxi complied again.

As Du Qi's counselor, Liu Zhengxi not only had to pay attention to Du Qi's government affairs, but also had to deal with Du Qi's private affairs and arrange Du Qi's life properly.

Du Qi asked again: "Mr. Liu, have you found out about the situation on the First Floor under Heaven?"

Earlier, Du Qi had already made arrangements.

Liu Zhengxi has also been inquiring for news.

Liu Zhengxi explained: "Your Highness, the First Under Heaven is a gathering place for assassins who specialize in undertaking missions. As long as you have money, the First Under Heaven will issue missions, and there is a mission to assassinate His Highness."

"Bizhi once made an appointment with the owner of the No. [-] Building in the World, but the other party never showed up. He said that he was out for something. Moreover, No. [-] Building is spread widely, and there are countless assassins below. For a while, Bei Zhi didn't deal with it."

"What I'm considering is to wait for Huangshi and Ma Yuan to return for the time being, and then ask Huangshi for more detailed information, so as to target the No. [-] Building in the World again."

"It's not good for His Highness to let an assassin organization like the No.

In Jiuquan County, in Suzhou, the first floor under heaven dared to undertake the task of assassinating His Highness, which was disrespectful to His Highness. "

Liu Zhengxi's face was full of sharp expressions.

Du Qi asked: "Are there any missions to assassinate me?"

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxi nodded and answered.

Some time ago, the first floor of the world had the task of assassinating Du Qi.It's just that since the Huangshi incident, no one has assassinated Du Qi again.

A stern look flashed across Du Qi's eyes, and he said: "Arrange people to carefully investigate the No. [-] Tianxia stronghold in Jiuquan County. Find out everything."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxi complied again.

He didn't linger long, turned around and backed away.

After Liu Zhengxi withdrew, Du Qi continued to read, but less than a quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door outside the study, and he said, "Your Highness, Guo Xiaozheng, Mr. Guo, is begging to see you."

Du Qi said: "Please!"

The attendant went to deliver the order, and after a while, Guo Xiaozheng entered.

Today's Guo Xiaozheng is more energetic than when he was in Jinshan.Because under Du Qi's command, Guo Xiaozheng can show his strengths and will not be restricted because he doesn't have a platform.

After saluting, Guo Xiaozheng sat down at the side and said: "Your Highness, I am here because of the cold weather. Although the people's life is good this year, there are still some people in Jiuquan County, and life is quite difficult."

Du Qidao: "What does Mr. Guo mean?"

Guo Xiaozheng said: "His Highness suggested that His Highness braved the wind and snow to travel to various places to condolence to the poor people. As for the common people, Humble has selected three families."

"The first household is Yue Laojiu in Shangyuan Village, Jiuquan County. The exact name of this person is no longer available. We only know that he is called Yue Laojiu. There are four brothers above Yue Laojiu, all of whom died in the army. On the sand field."

"When Yue Laojiu was young, he also had two sons under his knees. But in the end, Yue Laojiu's two sons also died in battle. He is now in his early fifties, his daughter is married, and his old wife has passed away. Only Yue Laojiu is left The individual is still alive, and the days are quite bleak."

"Condolences to such a person, on the one hand, is to calm people's hearts, and on the other hand, it is to establish an image for His Highness."

"Your Highness needs fame if he wants to gain a foothold in the Western Regions."

"We need the support of the people even more."

Guo Xiaozheng looked solemn, and continued: "The second household is Wang Shengli, a villager of Shengli Village. This commoner is just a simple old man, his parents have died, and he has been alone all his life. He has never even had a wife. He is alone. Years old. Especially Wang Shengli, who fell because of walking a few years ago, and his hands and feet are not very agile."

"The third household is a young man, Gao Leping from Dapinggou."

"This is a retired soldier after being wounded on the battlefield."

"When Jiang Zhengdao was the county magistrate, many soldiers participated in the battle, but if these soldiers were not injured, it would be nothing. But after being injured, they were kicked out of the army and returned home to fend for themselves."

"Gao Leping was quite brave when he was in the army. Later, when he was led by Jiang Zhengdao, when he fought against the bandits in Dushan, Gao Leping injured his leg and couldn't fight anymore, so he was kicked out of the army."

Guo Xiaozheng said: "The three people His Royal Highness wants to condolence to, all have their own representatives. Although it is freezing cold today, His Highness will go to offer condolences. Once the news spreads, it will help establish His Highness's image."

Du Qi nodded and said, "Yes, you can arrange it."

Du Qi is no stranger to condolence routines.

In his previous life, he saw leaders condolences to ordinary people on TV every year and festival.Of course, it is common in later generations, but it is quite rare in this era. The reason is very simple. Today's social class is extremely differentiated, and the common people are at the bottom.

The king's condolences to the people, for the people, is like smoke from the ancestral graves, which is something they can't ask for in a lifetime.

Guo Xiaozheng responded immediately, saying: "His Royal Highness, we can start tomorrow. After I leave, I will prepare all kinds of supplies for the trip. Tomorrow morning, I will go out with Your Highness."

"Go!"

Du Qi waved his hand.

Guo Xiaozheng turned around and retreated, while Du Qi continued to bury his head in his book.

Chapter 637

Condolences from Shimomura

The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, Du Qi and Guo Xiaozheng left the county seat of Jiuquan County with the accompanying team, heading for Shangyuan Village.Shangyuan Village is located in the northwest of Jiuquan County, and its geographical location is relatively remote. ,

In Shangyuan Village, the conditions of the fields are very poor, there is no good land at all, it is very ordinary fields.Even if grain is planted, the harvest is not very good.But the land is not good, because there are quite a lot of hillsides in the village. Many people feed sheep, on the one hand, for their own food, and on the other hand, they sell them to make money.

The roads in the village are winding.

Rather rugged.

But for the people whose ancestors have lived here for generations, they have long been used to it.Even with their eyes closed, they can find the way in the village.

For Du Qi and his party, it was not easy.After all, the road is difficult to drive.

As soon as you enter the village, the original road can be used for horse-drawn carriages, but now, horse-drawn carriages can no longer pass, and even war horses can't walk. After all, the ground is too bad with potholes, and the ground is only more than [-] centimeters wide.

Tiankan alley.

The road is narrow, Du Qi and his party can only walk.

Mo Ledo followed Du Qi's side, tightened the hat on his head, and said: "Your Highness, we are doing well in the house, why did we come to this place where the birds don't shit?"
