little wife

Chapter 77

After a short rest, Jing Yun and his party left Qinmen City and joined Li Chenglin.Only a few guards were injured by Li Chenglin, but quite a few men in black were captured, including nine of them last night, including the bandit leader Zhang Bingcheng.

Mentioning what happened last night, Li Chenglin beamed with joy: "Your Majesty is really clever. Although that Lu Yi is an ordinary businessman, the travellers he invited were those thugs in disguise. I was afraid that they would not do anything, so they pretended to be They sent people to the nearby village to check the terrain, and they were really fooled. The hundreds of people who were ambushing rushed over, thinking that they would catch us off guard. This kind of bandit is nothing to be afraid of, the kill is really fun! And biting them all the way to their old lair, the captain of the garrison of Qinmen City came to take over in the morning, this time the siege will completely hurt their vitality for several years, presumably the banditry here will be much better."

These Yulin soldiers are all elites trained by Jing Yun himself. On the battlefield, each of them is an elite soldier who can be compared to a hundred. They have been prepared and set up ambushes to lure the enemy. It is also expected that they will win a big victory.

The prefect of Qinmen City and the captain of the garrison came here early in the morning to take over the task of suppressing the bandits. The prefect was so frightened that he stayed up all night. Going to jail for a while.Now that the misfortune has finally come to an end, the elimination of these gangsters can be regarded as one of his achievements during his tenure, so he naturally smiled, and chased after Jing Yun to thank the people repeatedly.

"Although the main force of the gangsters has been wiped out, we must also beware of the remaining gangsters causing trouble," Jing Yun warned, "Don't forget to send more people here to hunt down the escaped gangsters according to the gangsters' confessions."

The prefect even claimed it was.

Except for Zhang Bingcheng, the rest of the captive bandits Jing Yun were handed over to the prefect. The prefect and his staff would write a colorful memorial to the heaven for the report on the suppression of the bandits, and Zhang Bingcheng involved the Rui Wang Yang Yan. The gangsters of Qinmen Mountain colluded and tried to kill Jing Yun here in the name of being robbed. Naturally, it cannot be made public. Jing Yun wrote a secret letter and selected a few reliable generals from the Yulin Army to work with Zhang Bingcheng. Send it to the capital with the face of Emperor Shenghe.

After finishing all the matters, it was already past noon, and Jing Yun and his party bid farewell to the prefect and continued to go northwest.

Ning Luo opened the curtain of the car and watched the Qinmen City gradually disappear in the distance. This wanton and joyful journey came to an abrupt end here, how could it not make people nostalgic?Although it was so thrilling last night, Yang Yan's conspiracy was solved, and he was able to steal chickens without losing money, which is really satisfying.

She suddenly remembered something, sat up straight and asked, "Four leaves, do you know what happened to the shadow puppet show last night?"

Clover scratched her head, her nerves were tense last night, she didn't listen to what the shadow play sang at all: "I don't know, just listen to them babbling."

Ning Luo was a little disappointed, wondering what happened to Yan Gui and Qin Niang?Is he beaten to death by a Taoist priest again, and is struggling to pursue life after life?

Lu Song opened the curtain and poked her head out: "Madam, here you are, Lord Hou specially asked me to go to the theater to get it early in the morning."

Ning Luo took it over and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, only to see that it was a play booklet, which was specially used to order plays for the nobles, with brief introductions of the plays in the theater written on it.

"...The Taoist priest was moved by the persistence of the two people in the past and present, and put the souls of the two people back into the fairy artifact to reincarnate. In the third life, Yan Gui and Qin Niang were finally able to forge a happy relationship."

Putting the playbook on her chest, Ning Luo closed her eyes, imagined it in her mind for a moment, and smiled sweetly.

Entering Changzhou, the terrain and landforms along the way are even more different from Hepingzhou. The caravans and passers-by on the official road have obviously decreased. From time to time, you can see large areas of abandoned wasteland and mounds on both sides, and dry shrubs and grasses are also everywhere. visible.The weather has also become drier, and the originally pleasant autumn day has begun to chill in the morning and evening.

Jing Yun seldom let Ning Luo get out of the carriage, and the group hurried on and reached Luping City in only five days.

The city had already heard the news, all the officials and gentry from Changzhou Governor's Mansion and Zhechong Mansion were waiting at the gate of the city to welcome them. The leader was a man in Tsing Yi who was around thirty, and when he saw Jing Yun, he made people go up to him and bowed his head. He saluted and said: "Shi Xu Jinliang, the governor's governor, has seen Lord Dingyun."

Jing Yun glanced back calmly. All the officials in the city are still young. Standing next to Xu Jinliang in military uniform should be Sima Qin Qinghuai from Zhechong Mansion. After the previous governor was transferred away, Lu Pingcheng He should be in charge of the army temporarily. This man is from Changzhou and quite talented, but he has always been at odds with the previous governor.

Everyone said a few polite words on the surface, Xu Jinliang said: "Master Hou has worked hard all the way, please go to the mansion to rest for a while, Lord Inspector has already prepared a banquet to clean up the dust for Lord Hou."

"Thank you, Sir Yu. Thank you for your hard work." Jing Yun said a few words politely, then got on his horse and headed for the city.

The Dudu's Mansion is in the south of the city, and Jing Yun has already sent a housekeeper here half a month in advance to take care of the internal affairs of the Dudu's Mansion. Although this Dudu's Mansion is not as luxurious as the capital's Marquis' Mansion, it is well-managed. There are all kinds of ponds and rockeries, and the yard where Ning Luo and Jing Yun live is lightly fragrant. There are actually a few sweet-scented osmanthus flowers planted, and some remaining petals are faintly visible, which is very interesting.

Butler Li said guiltily from the side: "Madam and Lord Hou feel aggrieved first. After all, the things here are not as rich as those in the capital. I have already entrusted people from the Qin Family Commercial Firm to bring them."

Ning Luo was very satisfied, especially a large study room was set up not far from the bedroom, and there were all kinds of pens, inks, papers and inkstones in it. There were also some things she liked to read on the bookshelf, and a swing was set up in the yard. There are vines wrapped around it. If the weather is fine, sitting on it and drinking tea must be a pleasant thing.

"Butler Li has worked hard, this place is very good, I am very satisfied." Ning Luo said with a smile.

Butler Li said happily after receiving the praise: "The villain dare not take the credit, it was all ordered by Lord Hou, who said that even if it is short of others, it can't short of Madam's preferences."

Ning Luo glanced at Jing Yun, pursing her lips and feeling happy.

Jing Yun thought for a moment and said, "Housekeeper Li, it's good to tidy up this mansion. There is only one thing I have neglected. After all, the climate in the northwest is different from the capital. I’m going to see if there are any other drought-resistant and sand-resistant varieties, so that my wife can live more comfortably.”

Butler Li suddenly realized: "Yes, what Master Hou said is true, so let's think about it again, villain."

"Don't worry too much," Ning Luo gave Jing Yun a sharp look, and said softly, "I'm not paper-based, and I'll get used to it gradually."

Jing Yun smiled at her, leaned into her ear and said, "My wife, naturally she should be pampered, and use everything to the best."

For several days in a row, everyone in the mansion was busy packing the luggage brought from the capital, and Jing Yun officially began to take over the military affairs of Luping City and Changzhou after the Inspector Yu's dust-cleaning banquet that day, and he brought himself here The Habayashi Army was broken up into pieces and placed in various places in Luping City and Changzhou, in order to get familiar with the affairs of the army as soon as possible. In addition, Li Chenglin was asked to lead a part of the Habayashi Army, and some elites were drawn from the army to form a team The personal guards, named Yunjiajun, practiced alone and were directly dispatched by him.

Jing Yun is busy, and Ning Luo is not idle either. She has read the local diary in the northwest, and has a little understanding of the customs and customs here. Jing Yun works outside every day. She is afraid that he will not eat well, so she changes with others every day. He tried to burn some of his favorite food, and if he didn't have time to go back home to eat, he would be packed in a food box and taken to the official office.

Luping City is the largest city in the northwest. There are many merchants coming and going from Hu Qiang, Bei Zhou and other places. Every time the market comes, people of all kinds gather in the city, and it is also very prosperous. There are many snacks in the Northwest. The cooks in the mansion There was a local who could make a lot of weird snacks in Ning Luo's eyes. Ning Luo tasted a few of them with great interest, such as mutton steamed buns, meat sandwiches, etc., which were quite delicious, so he thought about it. If you have time in the future, you can learn it yourself, so that Jing Yun can try it out.

Of course, what Ning Luo is most concerned about is Jing Yun's military affairs in Luping City. When the two of them came together, Jing Yun would occasionally mention the difficult things after taking office. He was at odds with the previous governors, and Yu Xiyuan, the governor of Changzhou, was said to be a smooth guy who was the best at protecting himself. He had been an official in Changzhou for seven or eight years, and his roots were deep and leafy. It would be a big headache for Jing Yun.

At the dust-cleaning banquet that day, Yu Xiyuan was very enthusiastic. He said that Jing Yun was a close minister of His Majesty, and he was appointed as a marquis at a young age. to help.

Ever since the great ancestor, Da Chen has always valued civil affairs over military affairs, and civil servants of the same level are naturally a head above military officials, but not many are as humble as Yu Xiyuan.Whether it was true or false, Jing Yun was temporarily relieved, and put all his energy into the purge of armaments first.

After a while, Ning Luo had lived in Luping City for more than half a month, and finally felt the bad weather that everyone said deeply. It was just late autumn and early winter, and the grass withered and the trees dried up. If the weather was windy, she would Standing in the yard, you can feel the wind and sand blowing on your face, and there is a raw pain when it blows on your face.Fortunately, the Snow Skin Cream that Qin Yihan brought over from the Western Regions is indeed very effective. It seems to have a layer of protection on the face after rubbing it on, and it can keep the skin moisturized for half a day.

What's worse is that in the past few days, I don't know if it's because of the acclimatization. There are some shallow snakeskin marks on the originally smooth and delicate skin on the legs and lower abdomen, which is very rough to the touch.At first, she thought that she would get used to it after a few days, but she was careful not to let Jing Yun see it, but she didn't expect that after a few more days, those skins gradually started to itch, and there were a few places that were so itchy that she couldn't bear it. I grabbed it twice, but the scratching became more and more itchy, and there were several bloodstains, which looked shocking.
