Allure of a Country Maiden

The night before Xiaoer and Shangguan Xuanyi set off, they took their child out of the Imperial City and then returned to Prince Rui's Mansion. The child didn't know where he went.

The next night, when they set off secretly, Shangguan Xuan Yao saw that there were only two of them and no children. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Where are the children?"

"I didn't take the child with me. I entrusted the child to a friend." Xiaoer explained casually.

No matter who asked, Xiaoer told everyone that the child was entrusted to the care of a friend!

For the sake of the child's safety, everyone was wise enough not to inquire into who the child was entrusted to take care of.

Of course, this is just an excuse. The child is placed in the space and entrusted to the daytime to take care of it, but during the daytime, it can be regarded as a friend.

Sure enough, when Shangguan Xuan Yao heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. He didn't take the child with him and entrusted it to a friend, naturally for the sake of the child's safety. If he didn't have the sense to get to the bottom of it, wouldn't he make things difficult for others?

Anyway, when it’s time for you to see it, you will see it.

Not only Shangguan Xuan Yao thought this way, but also Yang Liu, Yang Mei, Zhao Yong and others.

Xiaoer and Shangguan Xuanyi were in a carriage, Shangguan Xuanyao and the others were riding horses, followed by two carriages in case of rain, and some luggage and supplies were also loaded in the carriages.

A group of people arrived at the dock overnight and boarded a black ship. Three carriages also pulled aboard.

This is not an ordinary ship, it can be said to be a military ship!

Although it cannot be compared with modern high-tech, it is absolutely amazing for this era.

There are many shocks and weapons inside the ship.

Shangguan Xuanyi secretly put a lot of supplies inside.

After Shangguan Xuanyi and his party boarded the ship, the ship immediately started sailing.

At daybreak the ship set out to sea, and many such ships followed them.

Shangguan Xuan Yao looked at so many ships and asked in shock: "Brother Seventh Emperor, did you bring many soldiers and horses this time?"

"No, just ten thousand. There are five hundred soldiers on each ship."

After these warships went to Wanli Shitang, they were guarded there in case of emergency. Don't underestimate these ten thousand soldiers. With the equipment of these twenty warships, one person can fight one against a hundred!

Shangguan Xuan Yao didn't say anything after hearing this, because ten thousand was indeed not too much.

"You can look around the cabin and get to know each other." After Shangguan Xuanyi said this, he went back to the room to find Xiaoer.

Shangguan Xuan Yao had just such a plan and started walking around on the ship.

…

Generally speaking, days sailing at sea are very boring, but they are different. The soldiers on the ship have to practice on the ship after getting up every morning.

Xiaoer brought his own soldiers with him this time!

She practiced with a hundred soldiers every day and had to take care of her children. Her life was very fulfilling.

The ship sailed for more than a month before arriving at Wanli Shitang.

All these warships are docked here, the purpose is to protect Wanli Shitang to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of it.

Xiaoer and the others stayed at Wanli Shitang for a few days, where Shangguan Xuanyi arranged a military exercise for the warships.

After ensuring that there were no problems, the group took a boat to Zhang'er Island, then passed through Zhang'er Island and arrived in Zezhou before disembarking.

It was already August at this time, and the weather in Zezhou in August was still extremely hot.

This heat is like someone's heart. Shangguan Xuan Yao got off the boat and immediately said: "Let's go to the Yamen quickly! Xi'er and the others must have arrived in Zezhou a long time ago. I don't know if she is staying obediently at this moment. Zezhou.”

Shangguan Xuanyi rolled his eyes at him after hearing this, and then Shangguan Xuanyao immediately shut up.

well! I was so excited at the moment that I expressed my feelings.

Someone has been waiting here on the dock for a long time. It is a soldier under Dishaowei named Guanyuan.

Caring Caring, who had been following Di Shaowei for many years, naturally recognized Shangguan Xuanyi. When he saw them getting off the boat, he quickly saluted: "Young man, please see the Sixth Master, Seventh Master, Madam!"

"Where is General Di?" Shangguan Xuanyi nodded and then asked.

"General Di is not here. He is in Jiangyang County. Jiangyang County was captured two days ago. However, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties in this battle. He couldn't leave for a while, so he specially sent his younger brother to greet Mr. Liu!"

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded after hearing this: "Lead the way!"

Shangguan Xuan Yao was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. Didn't he even go to the Yamen in Zezhou? Then he wouldn't be able to see Xi'er.

"That." Shangguan Xuan Yao wanted to say something. Shangguan Xuan Yi turned to look at him with a faint look, but Shangguan Xuan Yao didn't dare to say any more!

Forget it, everyone has come to Zezhou, it's better than being in the imperial capital, he doesn't believe that there is no chance to see Xi'er!

Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiaoer stayed in Zezhou and headed directly to Jiangyang County, which they had just captured.

Although Shangguan Xuan Yao was worried about Xi'er, since he came to the south, he naturally hoped to go to the front line.

The carriage traveled for another five days before arriving at the county seat of Jiangyang County.

Not long after the battle between the two armies, Min's army successfully captured Jiangyang County!

Because it was a newly captured city, the city was very tightly guarded. The city was densely packed with soldiers, and there were many soldiers patrolling the streets in the city.

Shangguan Xuanyi and his party came outside the city gate. Guanyuan showed his token, and the soldiers opened the city gate and let them in.

Xiaoer looked around and saw that the houses in the city were too damaged to be inhabited. Many people were building the destroyed houses. Taking advantage of the good weather, they repaired the houses and finally had a place to stay.

Now those people who have surrendered are all placed in one place. After knowing their specific situations and receiving household allowances, they can return to their homes.

Jiangyang County also belongs to Zezhou Prefecture, and Jing Hao is also in this county handling affairs here with the county magistrate.

At this moment, he was in the Yamen supervising the distribution of household allowances.

Many people were queuing up outside the government office to receive new household allowances.

Xi'er and Gu Qiling also disguised themselves as men and followed Jing Hao to help register.

Only about half of the original people in Jiangyang County surrendered. The other people fled to other counties when the war broke out, but half of the people was still considered too much.

Now all the shops in the city have been closed, and the grain stores have lost even a grain of grain. The original grain stocks of these people were taken away by the officers and soldiers of the previous county magistrate of Nangong Kingdom, so they have no grain at all and can only rely on The imperial court came to distribute food to live.

In the city that was captured before, because of the sudden incident, few houses in the city were destroyed. This time, almost all of them were destroyed!
