Started to get rich after exile

Not long after the corrupt officials were cleared out in the border fortress, the people were no longer exploited by their superiors, but their living standards did not improve much. Most of the people still lived in dilapidated thatched huts and tiled houses. The frontier fortress was slowly recovering.

Even if a few prefects have been preparing for it since the beginning of winter, it has only reduced the casualties and losses. The demoted officials are not familiar enough with the border fortress, and many affairs are just a temporary run-in.

No one expected that there would be a heavy snowstorm this year. The sudden heavy snowfall last night caused the border fortress to lose a wave of blood.

Everyone is hurriedly rescuing people, those who have the strength are working hard, the elderly, women and children are doing logistics work, and they are all trying to survive.

Fortunately, the neighboring country was defeated and the border fortress was guarded by King Yanbei, so that the enemy would not plunder at this time.

There were a few people in the busy crowd who had hidden secrets, and their ferocious eyes were staring straight at the dazzling woman in the porridge shed.

Wearing a simple sarong, she also attracted attention in the crowd. While waving a long-handled spoon, her smile was friendly and soothing. Her movements were clean and neat, unlike a pampered princess.

"Tsk! He is so lucky to have such a beautiful girl! No wonder Arnold failed."

"I heard that they are very much in love with each other. Hehe, I will kidnap her away during the chaos. Will that person go crazy when he finds out?"

"Not that much, just a woman, but enough to delay it for a while."

"Not to kill?"

"Idiot! Look at that face and figure, don't waste it, rape first and then kill!"

"He made us homeless, and we just treated him the same way he did! He wanted his family to be destroyed and his wife to be separated!"

"There will be an explosion at the city gate later, so listen to the noise."

"Yes!"

Ming Lanying didn't know that she was being targeted by bad guys. She only felt that there were a few chilling sights that made her uncomfortable. She raised her head and glanced around but didn't find anything unusual.

Just as they were wondering, the crowd was suddenly pushed aside to make way for a path.

Ning'er, escorted by the guards, strode over with the wolf cub.

Only a small part of the common people recognized Ning'er. Now that they saw the little man carrying a snow wolf, walking majestically towards the princess under the porridge shed, the rest of them knew with their toes that it was the young master.

"Mom, I'm here to accompany you!"

Ming Lanying touched his little face in surprise, and gave up her position so that others could continue to receive the porridge.

"Why did you come here? It's cold outside!"

Ming Lanying was friendly and easy to talk to, and even the women in line to receive porridge dared to talk to her with a smile.

"The young master and the princess have a deep relationship. I'm afraid they came here because they were worried that the princess would be tired. Even the women are envious when they look at it!"

"Yes! That kid in my family dared to challenge his father at the age of ten, and he is making people worry less every day!"

"The young master is naturally different from our careless bastards. I see that the young master looks handsome and cute, and he looks a lot like the prince!"

"I think her eyebrows and nose look like a princess's, very pretty!"

"The prince and princess are as good-looking as the other, and the young master is certainly not bad. When he grows up, he should be the dream man of many girls!"

"How much bear bile have you eaten to dare to say such a thing!"

The one panicked and said, "Princess, please forgive me. The common people didn't mean it. Please forgive me, Princess!"

Ming Lanying glanced at Ning'er. Ning'er pursed her lips and said to the man, "It's okay, but it's better not to say such words next time. It's not good."

"Okay, get up quickly. Ning'er doesn't blame you, but now is not the time to praise your good looks."

"Yes, yes, thank you, princess, and thank you, young master, for your forgiveness!"

The sharp-eyed woman saw that his face was expressionless, but the roots of his ears in the plush cloak were secretly red. He looked at each other and smiled at the people around him, and just thought he was cute.

It was the first time that Ning'er was praised by so many people in front of her face. She couldn't bear it and blushed shyly.

Ming Lanying rubbed Ning'er's little head and said loudly: "You are all the emperor's subjects, the common people of the frontier. The emperor gave this land to King Yanbei, firstly, to clean up the cancer of corrupt officials here, and secondly, It is to lead you to live a better life.”

"This is also the emperor's territory, and the emperor will not give up any of his subjects!"

In this era of supremacy of imperial power, as long as all good things are done for the sake of the emperor and all the benefits are placed on the emperor's head, there will generally be nothing wrong with you. There is nothing that can be done if others want to impeach you for your high achievements and ulterior motives.

"The Prince of Yanbei has done this for you, not so that you will only remember the good things of the prince, but to lead you to better things and to strengthen our country. You should also remember the good things of the emperor, because the emperor is still thinking about you!"

In the face of surmountable difficulties, a few words can make people's blood boil and their morale high.

"Long live the emperor! A thousand years live the prince! A thousand live the princess!"

Ming Lanyingsu waved her hand and looked determined, "Everyone, please work harder and try to rebuild your home before the heavy snow comes. The winter in the border fortress is very long, but as long as we unite and work together, the cold will eventually pass!"

"Yes!!"

After hearing what the county magistrate said, most of the negative emotions about being implicated in being demoted disappeared. He felt warm all over and felt that he could still fight for another 50 years.

As long as he works hard and improves his performance, he will have hope of promotion at the end of the year.

The frontier fortress is sparsely populated, and the people at the bottom are the foundation. If the nobles want to live a good life, they must let the people at the bottom live.

It was the first time Ming Lanying said such words in front of a crowd. After calming down, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she wanted to bury herself in her cloak and be like a quail.

"Oh my god, how could I say such a thing shamelessly..."

Aunt Cai patted her dumbfounded and said, "What the princess said is very good. It comforted people and boosted morale. Everyone is working hard with enthusiasm!"

Ming Lanying blushed even more when she heard this. She covered her face and refused to face the truth, "Where do I have the face to say such things? Don't they think I'm stupid and naive?"

Ning'er shook her head seriously, "Mother's words are very useful!"

The wolf cub rubbed her head with its furry snout, "The master is very cool! He has the demeanor of a leader!"

Ming Lanying was so embarrassed that it took a long time for the heat on her face to subside. She raised her hand and pinched Ning'er's face, "Why did you come here by yourself?"

Ning'er's cloak gently opened a gap, and a small black head came out, calling out to Ming Lan Ying coquettishly.

"Xiao Hei made a fuss to find you, so I brought him out. I brought many guards with me."

The wolf cub was dissatisfied and patted the little black head with his paw, "It will only cause trouble to the master. Unlike me, I can take care of the master's children!"

Xiao Hei growled a warning at the wolf cub, and Ning'er took away the wolf cub's paw, "You cub can't bully Xiao Hei."

Ming Lanying took a handful from Xiao Hei and kissed its little ear, "What's wrong, Xiao Hei?"

Xiao Hei raised his kiss and rubbed her chin, humming twice and acting coquettishly.

Ming Lanying took it directly into her arms.

"Now that you're here, let's take a look at everyone's situation with my mother, and take a look at the people in your father's fiefdom."

"it is good."

Aunt Cai put the cloak on her again. Ming Lanying held Ning'er's hand and led the wolf cub and Aunt Cai around the crowd. Ming Langtao also rushed over after finishing what he was doing.

"Is the princess patrolling?"

Ming Lanying hadn't seen him for a few days, and now he looked a lot scrawlier. There was a faint bloodshot under his eyes, his eyes were green, his stubble was sticking out, his coquettish folding fan was no longer shaking, and his whole body was full of exhaustion.

"Have you not rested for a few days?"

Ming Langtao wiped his face and said, "Hey! It will only take four or five days. We are discussing the response plan."

The ivory white fox fur cloak made his face look weak and pale.Ming Lanying waved her hand and chased him to rest, "Aunt Meng will feel very sorry for you when she finds out."

Ming Langtao took the big cake passed by his subordinates and took two bites. "It's not a big deal. I have to keep an eye on you. If you lose a hair, Ye Juelu will skin me alive."

"Okay, okay, Ning'er and I are going back to save us the trouble here."

Ming Langtao gnawed on the pie and glanced sideways at her, "The princess is good at yin and yang."

Ming Lanying also came out to calm people's hearts. She held Ning'er's hand and was about to go back when a sudden explosion occurred at the city gate. Wolf Cub and Xiao Hei were startled, and they arched their bodies and raised their ears warily. .

The city wall did not collapse, but a large area of ​​the temporary shelter collapsed. Many women and children were trapped underneath, and the crowd became restless.

Aunt Cai frowned slightly, "Princess, do you want me to go take a look?"

Ming Lanying nodded, "Go ahead, you can give orders to the people in the palace."

"Yes."

Ming Lanying watched Granny Cai squeeze into the crowd, and was suddenly startled. She saw many people rushing over there to help, but only a wave of people ran towards her against the crowd. By visual inspection, there were 30 people.

Animals are very sensitive to malice, and both the wolf cub and Xiao Hei were aware of it.

Xiao Hei's head popped up in Minglan Ying's arms, and the wolf cub bared its teeth and roared, with its sharp claws exposed.

"Cub, let's go!"

Ming Lanying subconsciously realized that the person who came was evil, so she quickly took Ning'er and ran, shouting: "Here comes! Protect the people, there are assassins!"

The surrounding guards were well-trained and divided into two waves, one to protect the master and the other to capture the assassin.

A guard came forward to stop them and delay the process. Ming Langtao protected the couple as they ran away with a stern face, not forgetting to put the pie in his arms.

"Sure enough, we let them sneak in!"

"You already knew?"

"I had suspicions, but I couldn't clean it up. I didn't expect you to come out today, and they just happened to be targeting you."

"You didn't forget to take away the pie at this time."

"It's delicious, don't waste it."

The people on the street and the government officials were all attracted by the movement at the city gate. Ming Lanying and the others suddenly became vacated, making it easier for the assassins to rush up.

The streets had been cleared of snow, but the ground was still cold and slippery, making it unsuitable for carriages.

Ming Lanying was brought out in a soft sedan chair, and the bearer of the sedan chair was also pointed out by her to help. She asked Aunt Cai to go to the city gate to see the situation. When Ning'er came out, the secret guards following him must also have come out.

Now there are only five secret guards, a wolf, a small black panther, and the unreliable Ming Langtao.

She didn't dare to look back, so she could only pull Ning'er and run as fast as she could, with the wolf cub following behind.

The palace is located in the middle of the city, half a city away. It takes two and a quarter of hours to run back at full speed, relying solely on your legs.

Ming Langtao looked back and saw that the guards had stopped about ten people, and visually there were about ten more people chasing them.

"Is there no one on the other side? How dare I send so many people to kill you?"

Ming Lanying rolled her eyes at him, "So many people? Then don't run away, go up and kill them!"

Ning'er pulled Ming Lanying and ran very fast, "No, Aunt Hebai said that my cousin is very weak and can't beat him. Dad said that if he can't beat him, it's better to save his life. Mother, run away."

Ming Langtao: "I am a civil servant!"

Ming Lanying curled her lips in disgust, "Meng Huaisu is also a civil servant. He can defeat several gangsters and bastards with one punch and save Dong Xia. You, a weak civil servant with no strength, are a bit unsatisfied."

Ming Langtao: "..."

Ning'er practiced martial arts with He Bai and Ye Juelu. Although she was not good enough to punch an assassin, she was strong and could run fast, a little better than Ming Lanying.

The three of them panted and ran toward the palace. As they looked closer and closer, a dozen gangsters in shabby clothes and armed with sharp knives suddenly appeared on the street in front of them. They stared at them with ferocious expressions and blocked their way.

There were wolves in front of them and tigers in the back. There were almost 30 people in total. There was no path to the left and right. The wolf cub was protecting them in front of them. Ming Lanying held Ning'er in her arms and was about to cry but had no tears.

"Why are you so unlucky that you were targeted as soon as you came out!"

The rough man who surrounded them in front weighed the big knife in his hand, and he didn't know where their knife was hidden.

"Boss, there is a snow wolf next to this girl!"

"Kill the kid and the pretty boy and send them over to that man. The wolf will skin them alive and take them back with that bitch!"

The voices of several people spoke in an unconcealed manner, and the wolf cub could understand them, and became murderous towards these people.

Ming Lanying felt a chill, Ning'er pursed her lips tightly, anger welling up in her eyes.

Ming Langtao looked at the assassins who were gradually approaching back and forth, his face became even more ugly, and he whispered to Ming Lanying.

"I'll stop them later, and you keep rushing forward. If anything happens to me, please take care of my mother for me."

Ming Lanying's heart tightened, "What nonsense are you talking about! Don't forget that I am a princess now. How can I only take a few guards with me when I go out?"

"None of them can fight, so give it to me! Capture this bitch alive!"

Ming Lanying protected Ning'er and retreated to the wall, "Zai Zai, bite them to death!"

Seeing them gradually being surrounded, the secret guards in the dark were waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Ming Lanying's order.

"Come on, arrest them all!"

As soon as Ming Lanying finished speaking, everyone felt a few figures flash before their eyes.

The secret guards learned how to kill with one blow, raising the knife and cutting off a person's head.

Five secret guards were fighting with about twenty people. The wolf cub was a nimble beast. It could tear off a piece of muscle with one bite, and the flesh and blood were blurred with one claw, and the bones could be seen deeply.

But there were more than 20 people on the other side, and the target was clearly for her and her mother, so Ming Langtao could only take the opportunity to rush out with them.

As soon as someone comes close, Ming Lanying will throw Xiao Hei away. Although Xiao Hei is held in her arms every day, Xiao Hei has actually grown up a lot.

The black panther was agile, and Xiao Hei specifically picked out the thin areas on the assassin's face and scratched away a layer of flesh on his eyes, nose, and neck.

Those who didn't stop him caught up with the sword in hand, wielding the sword with their thick arms, and a look of excitement on their faces as they were bound to win.

Ming Lanying's heart almost jumped out of her chest. Ming Langtao pulled her to the side, and a piece of her cloak was cut off.

Ming Langtao raised his foot and kicked the man's lower abdomen hard, making Ming Lanying scream in surprise.

"Don't be dazed, run!"

The two secret guards and the wolf cubs killed six or seven of them in one go and held back most of them. There were three men with knives chasing after them.

Ming Lanying staggered, pushed Ning'er forward, took out the Bailing whistle from her arms and blew hard.

The sharp whistle sounded for ten miles, and several assassins paused, quickly reacted, and laughed.

"This bitch blows the whistle when she's about to die!"

"Hahahahahaha! Don't be afraid, little lady, brothers will make you feel comfortable!"

Ming Lanying smiled contemptuously, "Just you? A bunch of bean sprouts can't even compare to one of my man's hands!"
