Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1332 Famine and Natural Disaster 491

The two men packed up their things, took the 100,000 soldiers, the guards who brought them with them, and the pay and food for the 200,000 soldiers, and set off!

On the day of departure, the common people came spontaneously to see them off, and people on both sides of the street brought them food and drinks; but the soldiers dared not accept any of them, as they had a clear rule that they were not allowed to accept even a single needle or thread from the common people, and if they were caught doing so they would be punished by military law.

The seven of them hurried on their journey and finally arrived at the city limits covered in dust.

Zhou Ting ordered General Zhongwu, "General Zhongwu, please take your men to Pingyang Pass first. I and Mingyi will go back to the city."

"The last general takes orders."

General Zhongwu understood and his face became serious. He actually wanted to go back and meet his family. He heard that his daughter was engaged, but he had not been able to see what kind of man the man was. All he knew was that his wife and daughter had sent letters, but he had never actually met anyone from his in-laws.

"lets go!"

Zhou Ting gave the order that military orders should be given priority, and General Zhongwu led his men away.

The huge team went away, and Zhou Ting and Mingyi rode their horses with the guards and Chunmei straight to the city.

"Who? Stop!"

The guards outside the city blocked the way with weapons in hand.

An San took out the token and said, "Master, please return to the city and let us pass!"

The guard was familiar with this token. There were two people in the front of the crowd, a man and a woman; both were good-looking. The man looked very familiar, and seemed to be the prince.

"This humble general pays respect to His Majesty."

The defenders dropped their weapons and knelt down in worship.

"Get up."

"I thank you for your grace, my Lord."

A group of people stood up in twos and threes, stepped aside to make way, and at the same time sent away the people around them so that they would not block the road ahead.

"Please, my lord."

"drive!"

Zhou Ting glanced at Ming Yi, and the two of them drove their horses into the city, followed closely by a group of guards. When the horses were riding, they tried to avoid the surrounding civilians to avoid hurting innocent people.

After entering the city, I deliberately slowed down my pace.

She walked slowly along the long street. There were many people setting up stalls around and people coming and going on the street in an endless stream. It was different from the winter scene she saw when she first came to the northwest.

In the first year I came to the Northwest, I didn’t see many people on the streets, but now it’s crowded and noisy.

"Chao Sheng, I didn't expect the city to be so lively." Her starry eyes looked over the things being sold in the stalls with great interest, including some rare little things.

"It is much more lively now. My mother once said in a letter that the population has increased suddenly and the people are constantly struggling for life. This has added a lively atmosphere to the northwest."

It's more than just the smell of fireworks.

Ming Yi shook her head and said, "Princess, what you said is right. It's very popular and lively. The economic flow has increased. For the local people in the northwest, their lives are facing more competition. The pressure of life is great. If you don't work hard, you may be surpassed by others, and even lose the money you earned in the past."

The changing pace of life means that everyone is trying to adapt. Those who cannot adapt will find it difficult to make ends meet in the future.

"You have good vision." He nodded with a smile. She knew what the situation was like after just one look at the people. It was rare that she had such a broad vision. Without this vision, she would not be able to see the truth hidden behind the bustle. "In this world, only people can adapt to the environment."

Anyone who expects the environment to adapt to him must be mentally ill.

Mingyi nodded in agreement, "Yes! No matter how much you reject it, you still have to live your life; in order to make life better, everyone will work hard to move forward. Once you fall behind, you will fall behind step by step."

Zhou Ting curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and it was unclear who he was squinting at.

The young ladies who were traveling in the city were so fascinated that their faces turned red and their hearts beat fast.

"Who is that?"

"I don't know you, slave."

"Whose man is this, so outstanding?"

"I've never seen him in the capital, so he must have come from outside. His aura and heroic demeanor are not something that an ordinary family can cultivate. I think he must have a certain family background." Several girls who were traveling together talked about it.

Fortunately, it is in the northwest, where people are relatively open-minded. Such comments only attract a few glances from others and do not cause any blemish on one's reputation.

Zhou Ting didn't know that after they left, the ladies who were traveling on this trip ordered their servants to inquire about his whereabouts.

At this time, Zhou Ting and Ming Yi arrived at the gate of the palace.

The four guards in front of the palace gate were not the same people from a few years ago and were not familiar with Zhou Ting. When they saw them heading straight for the palace, they hurried down the steps to block their way.

"The palace is a restricted area. Anyone outside please return."

An San took out the token again, "Open your eyes and take a good look. This is our prince. The prince is back, why don't you let him pass?"

When the four guards saw the token, they knelt down with a loud thump.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. I was blind and did not recognize the great man. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Zhou Ting gave An San a wink.

An San said: "Hurry up and make way."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The four of them quickly stepped back ten steps, leaving enough space for them to walk.

Zhou Ting and Ming Yi's horses were standing side by side, and Ming Yi could just turn sideways and tilt her head to tease him, "Look, you haven't been home for a long time, no one recognizes you anymore."

"It's enough to know the token." Zhou Ting chuckled, turned over and dismounted towards Mingyi's side, then raised his hand, "Come on, dismount."

Mingyi nodded, placed one hand on his palm, and loosened the reins with the other hand; after getting off the horse, Zhou Ting carefully helped her stand steadily.

"Let's go."

The two walked side by side, passing the crowd and entering the palace.

Their two horses were brought into the palace by the guards and sent to the stable to be fed.

"The prince is back!"

"The prince is back!"

"The prince is back!"

As they entered the palace, the old man in the palace saw Zhou Ting and Ming Yi walking quickly, and turned around happily and shouted towards the yard; I don’t know who they were shouting to, they were just happy and excited.

Three loud shouts attracted the palace's steward Xun Xiu, as well as other stewards and servants.

"Your servants are here to pay their respects to the Crown Prince. Long live the Crown Prince."

"stand up."

Seeing these familiar people, Zhou Ting smiled.

"Thank you for your grace, my Lord."

Everyone answered in unison and stood up. Xun Xiu walked forward with red eyes, "My Lord, Miss Cheng, you are finally back. You didn't come back in the past few years, and Miss Cheng didn't come back either. The princess missed you every day and hoped that you two could come back to visit."

"Is my mother in the mansion?" Zhou Ting felt a little guilty when he heard Xun Xiu talking about the princess.

He has not returned for many years, leaving his mother to manage the palace alone. It is indeed his fault.

"To answer the question, my Lord, the princess is in the mansion. You and my young lady can go to the backyard. The princess misses you very much." Xun Xiu stepped aside to invite them. While leading the way, he waved his hand to dismiss the other servants. "Go to work, don't block the way here."

The servants bowed and knelt one after another, and watched them go away.

After the person left, the servants suddenly started to grumble.

"That's great, the prince is back. The princess has finally had the prince back."
