The last time she came to Fucheng, Wen Xian was already familiar with various places in Fucheng. She had already taken a rough look at various important places.

Therefore, this time she planned to go around Fucheng first to see if there was anything special about it.

After all, after the moving party is held, I probably won’t be able to move around as freely as now.

If the negotiation goes well, then everything will be easier to talk about. But if the negotiation is not good, it may be monitored by Shen Cheng and others.

It's better to walk around and learn more about the situation before it's clear yet.

The last time Wen Xian came to Fucheng, she could still see some scattered refugees. But this time, she took Sheng Lian'er and Zheng Rou all the way outside the city without seeing a single refugee.

She thought highly of Shen Cheng. It seemed that he had solved the refugee issue very well.

Although this is good, it is only for refugees who have entered the city. As for those who didn't enter the city, they didn't know where they died, and they didn't care.

However, walking further to the outskirts of the city, she seemed to discover the reason why there were no refugees.

Because, she saw soldiers patrolling outside the city.

Moreover, after seeing Wen Xian and the others, the patrol team immediately ran towards them.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" The leading patrol soldier carried a long gun and ran to them first to block the way. "Go back, and you are not allowed to go forward."

When Sheng Lian'er saw this, her sense of mission was overwhelming. She quickly stood in front of Wen Xian and said first, "We are out for an outing. We can't leave here?"

They haven't done anything illegal, so they can't even go out for an outing.

"For an outing?"

Maybe he heard that Sheng Lian'er was a woman, so the patrolman's voice softened and he kindly reminded: "You are from out of town, this is not a place for outings, go quickly, go quickly."

"Then where is this place and why can't we stay?" Zheng Rou asked doubtfully, "Besides here, where else can we go?"

She remembered that when they entered the city, they did not meet these people and were not stopped by anyone.

However, the patrol leader did not answer her question, but said with a straight face: "I said I can't stay, so I can't stay. Why are there so many problems? Go, go, go back quickly."

The patrolmen were determined to drive them away, and Wen Xian couldn't say much, so she could only lead them back to the city.

After returning to the city, Zheng Rou whispered to Wen Xian, "Madam, do you think there is a problem there?"

It was only a few hundred meters away from the city gate, but no one was allowed to leave. She didn't believe it if there was nothing fishy there.

Not only Zheng Rou didn't believe it, but Wen Xian didn't believe it either.

Wen Xian guessed that that direction was either the location of the garrison or the Wu family cemetery.

Of course, she couldn't say this speculation right now, she could only wait until she got back.

In addition, what happened outside the city aroused their curiosity, so Wen Xian and the others did not continue shopping, but went back home and went to Zhu Qing to find out the situation.

However, Zhu Qing was surprised and strange when he heard what they said.

He frowned slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, it's just the outskirts of the city, there's nothing special about it."

He had never heard of anything special there, let alone that there would be patrols there.

Even the garrison is still quite far away from the outskirts of the city and is not nearby.

Could it be that something happened recently that he didn't know about?

He has been on the island for the past few months and has not gone to sea. It is indeed possible that he is unaware of any changes outside the city.

Zhu Qing didn't know about this, which surprised Wen Xian. She thought that with Zhu Qing's intelligence gathering ability, he must know something.

But it doesn't matter. She shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll find out when my people come back." other places.

She just needs to wait at home and see what news the secret guard will bring back to her.

After that, Wen Xian never left the city again. Instead, he just walked around the city and waited for news from the secret guards.

It wasn't until the night before the moving party that all the secret guards sent out came back and brought the news Wen Xian wanted.

The place where they were blocked before was indeed the only way to the garrison.

It turns out that there was no one patrolling that place, that is, there was a thief a few days ago, so a full alert was put on the inspection.

"Been robbed?" Wen Xian looked at An Ye and confirmed, "Is this true? Is there any specific news?"

Wen Xian didn't quite believe in the thief, and she even felt that Wu Junlan had broken in. I just don't know if she was alone or if she brought other Wu family troops.

However, judging from the current situation, no matter what the situation was, Wu Junlan probably failed to get a good result, because this method was too radical.

If Wu Zhi doesn't miss his old relationship, Wu Junlan's end will not be good.

As expected, An Ye continued: "I heard that the person was arrested, but for some reason he was not dealt with. The garrison was heavily guarded, and my subordinates were unable to approach. Please forgive me."

When a princess becomes an empress, her title will naturally have to be changed.

"Okay, I understand." Wen Xian waved her hand and said, "Send someone to keep watching over there. If there is any news, report it in time."

It's a good thing that An Ye didn't sneak in. If she really did, Wen Xian would be really disappointed.

After all, if outsiders can be sneaked into the military camp at will, one can imagine the level. If this is the case, such an army is not worthy of Wen Xian's trust.

After An Ye retreated, Wen Xian thought alone for a long time. In the end, it was decided not to move on Wuzhi's side for the time being, but to concentrate on settling Shen Cheng's side first.

The whole night was silent, and in a blink of an eye it was the moving party the next day.

Zhu Qing invited Shen Cheng to the moving banquet. Shen Cheng agreed to come, so they didn't invite anyone else.

But Wen Xian received news from the north early in the morning.

Wen Zhan publicly announced that he would give the twenty cities in his hand to Wen Xian and recommend Wen Xian as the empress.

If other cities also submit to the empress, they will be spared the pain of war.

For a time, the entire north was in an uproar.

This move suddenly pushed Wen Xian to the center of public opinion, and even more openly announced the empress' affairs to the world.

Of course, in these twenty cities alone, there are those who are supportive and those who are opposed to the empress.

After all, not everyone can accept a woman standing over them.

But Wen Zhan was not asking for their opinions, but informing them. He was defeated and had no choice.

If there is anyone who is stubborn and unresponsive, he will be killed immediately and someone else will be appointed as an official.

As for the voices of the people, they are not very important. It doesn't matter whether they agree or support it.

News of the empress reached Guan Ping Mansion, and even the prefect Shen Cheng knew about it.

At the moving banquet, he talked about this incident with a smile while drinking with Zhu Qing.

It's too busy, it's too busy. On the first day they came to work in the group, they didn't get off work at all. Therefore, I also worked overtime and came home too late, so I can only do one update today.

(The first surprise of the New Year was when a person entered the elevator and followed me out of the elevator instead of checking the floor. I was so scared that I was in a daze while typing (;︵;`). I’m afraid I won’t sleep well tonight)
