The useless princess is causing trouble again

Two days later, the peace talks were initially completed. The defenders of the three border cities of Tianyin Kingdom withdrew, and General Zhao led the Southern Frontier Army to enter Lancheng. They also inserted a flag with the unique orchid pattern of Tianlan Kingdom on the city wall. The blue and red flag fluttered in the wind, which was a beautiful sight.

Outside the city gate in the early morning, Situ Chong and Zheng Wenjin each rode on a tall horse and followed General Li's team back to Beijing. Major General Nan and Nan Yanqing, as envoys of Tianyin Kingdom, attended the banquet and led two thousand light cavalry, also following behind the large team.

General Zhao stood at the city gate, pouting his lips with tears in his eyes, and waved his rough and dry right hand to say goodbye.

"Woo woo! Remember to come back and visit the veterans often."

"Forget it, let's wait until the old general retires and comes back to Beijing to see you."

"Oh my god, I really miss you guys."

Deputy General Zhong quickly supported General Zhao who was about to collapse, and said to him, "General, take care of yourself. You will see us more often in the future."

General Zhao pouted and said, "Well, take care of yourself and have a safe journey."

General Li held his forehead in silence, "General Zhao, please take care of yourself. We will meet again soon."

Then, with an order given, a long and mighty team walked onto the official road and left.

At noon, a team stood at the city gate. Before leaving, Nan Yanqing ordered the eunuch to transport the seriously injured Zhang Xin back to the capital to recuperate in order to avoid any more trouble. The leading eunuch said goodbye to General Zhao, then issued an order and rode away from the official road next to him, followed closely by a thousand light cavalrymen.

In the carriage at the end of the team, Zhang Xin lay flat on the carpet in pain, unable to move due to his severe injuries. At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the roof, recalling what had happened during this period, his eyes were filled with deep hatred.

Shangguan Wei, you despicable and shameless woman, as long as this general is alive, I will personally take your life to avenge my father's murder.

I will make you feel the same pain as I do, and you will neither be able to live nor die.

……

at dusk.

"Ah! Who is talking about me behind my back? My left eyelid keeps twitching. They must be scolding me."

"Miss was still asleep this morning, and was carried to the carriage by the prince and his son-in-law. She must have been invaded by the mist, so she caught a cold. I'll give you another thin blanket."

Shangguan Wei was lying on the couch with her arms and legs spread out. "Peach, stop it. My forehead is all sweaty. It's like a sauna."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Oh, by the way, we have been traveling for a long time, where are we now?"

Taozi lifted the curtain and looked out the window. "Miss, we are still on the official road. There are only hills and rocks around us. We don't see any villages."

Shangguan Wei made a bitter face and sighed deeply, with an expression that showed she had lost all hope in life. "Oh! It's so boring. The journey is so long and miserable. I really miss the days of flying and high-speed trains."

Taozi blinked her eyes, her face full of questions, "Miss, what are airplanes and high-speed trains? They sound very impressive."

Shangguan Wei turned sideways and said, "How should I put it? It's like a hot air balloon. The speed will be much faster. We will reach Kyoto in no time."

"Wow! Airplanes and high-speed trains are so fast, they must be divine treasures. I really want to see them."

"Well, there will be a chance. I will work hard to build a plane and take Taozi around the world."

Taozi clapped her hands happily, "Okay, I will always accompany you, my lady, wherever you go."

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped. Shangguan Wei immediately sat up, opened the curtain and looked out. She happened to meet Zheng Wenjin's eyes, "Cousin, why did the team stop suddenly? Did something special happen ahead?"

Zheng Wenjin pulled the reins to stop the horse, "Well, many refugees are rushing onto the official road, and they are blocking our way. We won't be able to leave for a while."

Shangguan Wei frowned, "Oh! Where did the refugees come from? Did a major famine occur? I wonder how serious it is?"

Zheng Wenjin shook his head. "I don't know the details either. My sister-in-law will stay in the carriage first. I will go to the front to find out what's going on and then come back to let you know."

Shangguan Wei waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, cousin. If you need my help, just call me."

"OK."

Zheng Wenjin raised the reins and galloped forward.

The long line came to a standstill, and thousands of refugees appeared on the official road. Among these refugees were the elderly, women and children, as well as young and middle-aged men. They were ragged, pale and skinny. One of the middle-aged men with stubble stood up, clasped his hands together and choked with sobs, saying, "General, please be kind. We are all villagers from the surrounding villages. Because of the famine caused by the drought, many people in the village have starved to death, and there is also a plague. We have fled to survive and have not eaten for a long time. Please be merciful and give us some food so that we can have a full meal."

General Li rode on a black horse and looked down at the middle-aged man. "What's your name? Which village are you from? Does the local county magistrate not care about the famine and plague? I need to know the truth before I can decide how to help you."

The middle-aged man bowed and answered respectfully, "I am a villager from Hexia Village near Nanyuan County. My name is Lu Daniu, and I am a carpenter. Due to drought, lack of water and food in the village, many villagers starved to death and plague broke out. In order to survive, I took my wife and children to flee. However, the gates of Nanyuan County were closed, and Magistrate Wu ordered us not to enter the city. We really had no choice but to try our luck on the official road."

"This general already knows the reason. Please wait here for a moment. This general still needs to consult His Royal Highness Prince Sheng."

"Okay, I thank the general."

General Li looked up at the crowd in front of him, thinking of his past self, and felt choked up. He jumped off his horse and walked towards Situ Chong. When he reached the white horse, he raised his hands and said respectfully, "Reporting to His Royal Highness Prince Sheng, these are people who have fled due to famine. They have not eaten for many days. How should we deal with such a large number of people? In addition, County Magistrate Wu of Nanyuan County ordered that refugees should not be allowed to enter the county, leaving them to fend for themselves. What should we do with this?"

Hearing this, Situ Chong lowered his head and thought for a moment, "They are all citizens of Tianlan Country. I cannot stand by and watch them die. General Li, please distribute our rations to them first to solve their current urgent needs. As for our rations, I will find another way."

Righteousness! Saving refugees from danger, this is what a prince deserves to be admired.

General Li immediately showed respect. "I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Sheng on behalf of the refugees. I will now order the soldiers to distribute the food. What do you think of the matter of Magistrate Wu?"

Situ Chong's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a calm voice, "County Magistrate Wu closed the city gates and prohibited refugees from entering the city. His actions disregarded the lives of the people and he is unworthy of being a county official. Once he enters Nanyuan County, I will punish him severely."

General Li received a satisfactory answer, bowed again and turned around to do his work.
