After being forced to marry the Demon King, she usurped the throne by relying on the infrastructure

Chapter 22 22. Taking in the Victims
...

Yin Jixue smiled, "Why do you think I hate them?"

After Teng She answered, she suddenly realized that her previous reaction at Heilongkou was seen by Teng She, which caused him to misunderstand.

"It's not what you think, go down and send people to settle down, don't let them freeze for a long time." She shook her head in laughter, planning how to arrange for the refugees.

Soon Heilongkou received a response from the messenger, and he felt uneasy.

This is not the first time he has come to Black Dragon City, but the current Black Dragon City is quite different from what he remembered, and he even thought that he was going in the wrong direction.

A few years ago, Black Dragon City obviously had the same houses as them, but Black Dragon City had tall walls to block the snowstorm.

Their Heilongkou city walls are low, they are all piled up with soil, they can't withstand the wind and snow, not to mention the houses have collapsed a lot, making the already poor city worse.

And ever since he brought people to ask for help in Black Dragon City, he discovered something was wrong when he was far outside the city.How could there be a strange house outside Black Dragon City?

These houses are tall and pointed, and the nearby roads have been cleared, so it seems that people live there.When they passed by, no one came out, so they felt relieved.

After coming to the gate of the city to show his identity, he was taken into the city, and the old and weak women and children who followed him were taken away and resettled.

They are brother cities, so they are not afraid that Black Dragon City will harm the people he brought.

As soon as he entered the city, he found that Black Dragon City had changed.

It's just so different!

The dilapidated and old houses disappeared, and became the same as the houses outside the city. The windows were along the street, and it was a three-story house!

There was a lot of wind and snow outside the city, so he didn't look carefully. There were rows of such houses in the city, and he realized how good the materials of the houses were.It's not a wooden house or a mud house, but the walls are very strong at first glance.

The main road in the middle is wide and big, the snow has been cleared and piled up, and drainage ditches have been built on both sides of the road. The ground is smoother and smoother than the walls of their city lord's mansion.

Turning a corner, the ground is also black, flat and smooth, and the snow on it has been swept to the side of the road.

He saw that the place where he stayed in Black Dragon City before was naturally in the west of the city, but now it is a row of one-storey houses.

He couldn't help wondering: "Why are the houses here different from the ones just now?"

The soldier kindly explained: "This is the dormitory of the construction team. A group of people live in one room. They used to be a group of wandering demons. The queen found a way for them to make a living."

Since the Wandering Demons were incorporated, their patrols didn't take much time and effort, and they mostly dealt with trivial matters such as conflicts between neighbors, and they didn't have to worry about the Wandering Demons wandering from the west of the city to steal.

There have been thefts in the city, but they were all petty thefts, and they couldn't be punished if they were caught.Every household in the city can't open the pot, maybe the house is cleaner than a thief's pocket.

The thief was not caught, and everyone guessed that it was the wandering demons in the west of the city. After all, they were too suspicious.As a result, they did not dare to relax when patrolling the city, for fear of making trouble in the palace.

The wandering demons lived in collective dormitories after they had jobs, and they often didn't return to the city. There were no more thefts in the city.

The messenger stepped on the asphalt road and almost forgot how to walk. He was dizzy all the way.

You heard me right, wandering demons can find ways to make a living, so can they also ask the king for help?

He didn't even hear what the soldier said was the queen and not the king.

He felt as if he was hallucinating because he could smell the aroma of food.Half-supported by soldiers, he came to the second most majestic building in the city, second only to the royal palace in scale.

There are many snowmen piled up on the big square here, and the children will come out to play for a while at noon.

The snow near the Metropolitan Procuratorate was cleaned very clean, and it was all cleaned by the parents who went to the literacy class.

He tremblingly asked, "Is this the new palace?"

The soldier replied proudly: "This is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the palace is still there."

He bowed his waist and begged: "I want to see the king or Master Teng She, can you help introduce me?"

The soldier reassured him: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is specialized in handling these matters. If you tell the truth, the inspector will report your situation, and the news will be sent to the palace on the same day."

Of course he didn't go into detail.For example, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will report according to the priority.The Heilongkou matter is a major event, and will definitely be reported immediately.

Even if the messenger didn't trust him, he could only follow the soldiers into the building.

At first glance, this hall made of stones (marble) is not inferior to the royal palace, and their city lord's mansion is not as strong as the houses on the roadside in this city.

Climbing up the thirty flights of stairs, his legs trembled, and he had to hold on to the stone pillar at the door.It was seven days ago that they had a meal at Heilongkou, and they came here desperately to bring someone for help.

I'm not worried that Black Dragon City will see death and refuse to save them. They are brother cities to help each other, they just come here to borrow a few rooms and that's enough.

When he met Meng Qiu, he gave Meng Qiu a face, but he also knew that Meng Qiu's strength was not low.

Even if it is not Master Teng She, there are still several strong men under the king.

The messenger reported the situation in Heilongkou truthfully. He looked up and saw Meng Qiu sitting in front of him buried in writing, so he didn't make a sound to disturb him.

"Go on and I'll record it." Meng Qiu didn't even lift his head.

The messenger was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly continued to add.

Something like a rag was folded up, and Meng Qiu handed the letter to the soldier.

"Send it to the palace urgently."

He was relieved to hear that it was the palace, as long as it was the palace.

He still didn't feel that the Metropolitan Procuratorate had much power, and he believed in Wang even more.

So he asked casually, "Is the king back?"

"No, it was reported to the queen." Meng Qiu replied lightly.

queen?

Queen when?

He remembered that a few months ago when the queen got married, she passed by their Heilongkou for a rest, but Lord Tengshe didn't let them see her.

"Her Royal Highness? Why Her Royal Highness?"

Can a human princess survive after marrying?
The conditions of the demons can even starve to death. If it weren't for the inability to eat humans, humans would have been on their diet.

Meng Qiu knocked on the table: "Remember, all the changes in this city were brought about by Her Highness the Queen. As much as you respect the King, you must also respect Her Highness the Queen, understand?"

The messenger understood, this queen must have the ability to convince the subjects of Black Dragon City.

Just why do you say that everything in the city was brought by Her Highness the Queen?

Is she that good?

Anxiously waiting for the palace's reply, finally the soldiers came back with good news.

The soldier handed the reply letter to Meng Qiu. After reading the letter, Meng Qiu raised his brows with a relaxed expression.

"Her Royal Highness ordered that the brothers in Heilongkou live in two vacant dormitory buildings outside the city, provide them with heating, and take care of two meals a day."

The messenger was ecstatic when he got the news of being rescued, but then became confused and puzzled.

Heating?Take care of two meals?

What does it mean?
Is he hallucinating?
Meng Qiu was sincerely happy. This time, Heilongkou was almost a catastrophe that destroyed the city, so all the old, weak, women and children were sent here.

He and Lin Zhong didn't meet the queen's help when they were desperate, but seeing the children in Heilongkou being rescued was like seeing themselves in the past.
