Chapter 177 Bandits Appear
"Why do you look so bad? I'm your brother. You must tell me if there is anything. I will definitely stand on your side no matter what." Bai Yulang looked concerned.

"Got it. I'm really fine."

Seeing that Bai Qianxi was still unwilling to admit it, Bai Yulang had no choice but to show more concern.

"Thanks to you, Xier, the people in the city now respect us very much and even take the initiative to maintain order. The treatment of the next batch of refugees is almost done."

"Fortunately, you reminded us in time that the Imperial Capital sent us a new batch of medicinal herbs. Otherwise, we might not have enough."

"After a while, when the people have planted vegetables and rice, they won't need our assistance anymore."

The court does not have much inventory now, so it still has to collect it from wealthy families. Fortunately, the Dongli royal family has accumulated great power now, so this matter is not difficult for them.

The two walked to the shelter while chatting.

There are fewer people living here now, and when the refugees saw the two people, they all stood up.

"You are now much better. When you are fully recovered, you can move out of here."

"What about those of us who don't have houses outside?" someone asked.

"Don't worry, we have everything." Bai Yulang explained simply, "We have already built and maintained a lot of houses outside. When the time comes, you only need to pay a small amount of money to the court to move in."

"If you don't have it, you don't have to pay it temporarily. You can use this year's tax revenue to offset it. If you really don't want to live in the house we built, you can live in the shelter temporarily, or you can move there after you build your own house." Basically, every aspect has been taken into consideration.

After hearing this, everyone quickly made a decision. They would move there once everything was ready. As for the taxes to be paid to the court, they would be able to pay it as long as they tried hard.

As for building their own house, much of their property was lost in this journey, so if they want to build their own house, it will take a long time.

As the situation in the city got better and better, Bai Qianxi finally had some free time, watching the dilapidated city gradually regain its former prosperity.

There are now a few small vendors on the streets and more and more smiles on people's faces, which proves that this is the result of their hard work.

Bai Qianxi feels that everything is fine now, but Ye Beiling...

Ever since the last conversation between the two, Ye Beiling seemed to have obtained Bai Qianxi's tacit approval.

Start various approaches.

Bai Qianxi looked at the person in front of her helplessly, "I can eat by myself, so don't come and send me off."

Who could have imagined that the Third Prince would personally come to deliver food to her? Even if she told others about it, no one would believe it.

Moreover, he was not just delivering food to her, he was clearly looking for various reasons to get close to her. Seeing his thoughts, Bai Qianxi could not help but refuse.

Especially in the face of the other party's unremitting actions, Bai Qianxi's heart couldn't help but feel a little disturbed, which made her realize that something was wrong.

Ye Beiling ignored her refusal. Instead, he seemed to have noticed that Bai Qianxi's attitude had softened and came more often.

As for other aspects, she was also protected in various ways.

"I think everything is almost done now. I came here mainly for this disaster. Now that the situation has improved, it's time for me to leave."

One day, Bai Qianxi finally expressed what was in her mind, and Ye Beiling instantly realized that she was trying to avoid him again.

But then Ye Beiling thought for a moment and realized that the current situation here has indeed been dealt with. He was silent for a moment and said, "Things here are almost dealt with. It's time to go back!"

Ye Beiling then called Bai Yulang.

Upon hearing that Bai Qianxi was going back to the imperial capital, Bai Yulang immediately offered to escort her.

"And Bai Yushu and Ye Lan, I'll ask them to bring people back with you." After Bai Yulang was there, Ye Beiling continued to suggest. "No need." Bai Qianxi was embarrassed, "I've taken everyone away, what do you need?"

"Besides, although there are only some scattered tasks left now, they are not unimportant."

"The disasters in various places have been dealt with almost completely now. With Bai Yulang and some other people, we shouldn't run into any danger on the way back."

Bai Qianxi refused firmly so as not to cause trouble to the other party.

Ye Beiling had no choice but to compromise, "Since you don't want to take them, then you must take more other guards."

"If not, you should stay for now and follow the main force later." Ye Beiling still hoped that Bai Qianxi could stay.

But when I think about the hard life here during this period, I still can't bear it.

After making the decision, Bai Qianxi quickly set off with her men.

"Miss, we brothers really want to thank you this time." In the team, Bai Qianxi saw a familiar person again.

Several guards looked at Bai Qianxi with gratitude. After taking her medicine, the acne on their bodies quickly disappeared.

Thinking about it now, it was just a false alarm.

When she saw them, Bai Qianxi instantly thought of this. She didn't know whether Ye Beiling's investigation had any results. She thought it probably didn't.

She hasn't heard any news so far, but this really doesn't seem like an accident.

The guard had no idea of ​​Bai Qianxi's inner thoughts and continued to speak, "I didn't expect that we would be so lucky this time. We were really chosen to escort the girl."

"Don't worry, girl. We are here to ensure that you are safe along the way." One of the sturdy men said casually.

The return trip was quite peaceful.

Bai Qianxi looked around. They didn't see any disaster victims on the road. They thought that these people had received the news and went to their respective provincial capitals, and they should have been properly resettled.

"Girl, Xiaguan is in front of you. Usually, there are bandits in this kind of terrain, but now it has been severely damaged. I guess these bandits have starved to death in the mountains." The sturdy man introduced himself, intending to show off in front of Bai Qianxi.

Bai Qianxi nodded, "Then let everyone be careful."

"What are you afraid of? We brothers would not dare to come out even if there are any bandit threats in Xiaguan."

As soon as this was said, the guards all agreed, except Bai Yulang, who frowned slightly and looked at everyone and warned, "Be careful, this matter is not to be taken lightly."

Just as everyone was about to move forward, a series of sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and several sharp arrows flew towards everyone from both sides of the mountains.

"Be careful! Enemy attack!"

As soon as the guards reacted, they looked for cover. Bai Yulang, Bai Wangqi and others immediately protected Bai Qianxi behind them.

Fortunately, Bo's seemingly ferocious arrow knee seemed to be the only one this time.

"Everyone calm down and return to the team!"

Bai Yulang shouted loudly to the disrupted guard camp. Fortunately, they were well-trained and reacted quickly.

At the same time, countless shouts and cries of killing rang out from the forest. A group of people holding various weapons in their hands, the better ones had machetes, and the worse ones had hoes, and they rushed directly towards the crowd.
