With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Chapter 152 See you again

"what?"

"what?"

Ma Dequan and Lu Ping spoke at the same time. They looked at each other, both of them with worry in their eyes.

"Send a secret letter to General Xiao, asking her to take all the people of Juecheng to Yongquan immediately. Travel light and don't be greedy for money or delay."

"Yes."

Ma Dequan continued to instruct, "Pass the order down, and order the officials in various places to appease the local people and properly resettle the people in the deserted city."

"Yes."

He looked at Green Screen thoughtfully, and Green Screen understood immediately, "It's time to send a secret letter to the Princess. We know very little about the black sandstorm."

"Alas," Ma Dequan nodded helplessly, "It's just that the princess has not had a peaceful New Year."

"Come here, get some pen and ink. I want to write a secret letter to the princess."

"Yes."

Several orders were quickly passed down, and Ma Dequan and Lu Ping became depressed, so they returned to the palace together.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Yan led everyone to Yongquan, and the group met Ma Dequan exhausted.

"Your Majesty."

Xiao Yan smiled and bowed in greeting. Hehe, her master is now a king of a different surname who has made great contributions.

Now she is full of heroic spirit, with a cold aura and such a powerful aura that it is hard for people not to be afraid of her.

But in front of Madquan, she is still that silly girl.

He looked at his proud disciple with eyes full of love, "Come on, come on, sit down. You've had a hard time on the journey. Is everything going well?"

Xiao Yan took the hot water and towel brought by the servant, and did not shy away from her master. While wiping her face, she said, "Thanks to the master for sending the order in advance."

She took a deep breath, "Along the way, the towns we passed by were very welcoming to the people of Juecheng and the surrounding cities. I saw with my own eyes how they arranged accommodation for them."

"As soon as we arrived in the town, the government officials brought us detoxifying medicine. After taking the medicine, the people felt much healthier."

"Well," she handed the handkerchief to the servant, lifted her robe and sat down below Ma Dequan, "after the black sandstorm passes, the people of Juecheng will be able to return to their homes."

Ma Dequan's face was heavy. "In fact, it's okay not to go back to Juecheng. After all, Xizhou is vast and sparsely populated. Not to mention Juecheng, even the people in the cities and villages surrounding Juecheng can be resettled."

Xiao Yan pondered for a while, then took a sip of tea, "The people of Juecheng refuse to accept their fate."

She looked at Ma Dequan's puzzled eyes and sighed softly, "The poisonous sand and dust of Juecheng Baitong has resisted several generations."

"Master," Xiao Yan pursed her lips, "They want to keep the black sandstorm out of Juecheng's thousands of acres of yellow land."

Ma Dequan couldn't understand it. Aren't all the people in Juecheng exiled?

What are those people obsessed with?

Ma Dequan expressed his doubts and Xiao Yan shook her head.

"Master, the people of Juecheng feel that with them around, the black sandstorm may be blocked outside Juecheng. If Juecheng is gone, the black sandstorm may very likely invade other cities in Xizhou."

Ma Dequan's calm eyes suddenly turned cold, and then he couldn't stop his heart from beating fast. He had never seen the boundless sea of ​​sand.

He had never seen the black sandstorm, but he never underestimated the power of nature.

"Yes," Ma Dequan nodded, "I, the King of Xizhou, am actually not as good as the people of Juecheng. It seems that Juecheng must not become an empty city."

"Yes."

After saying this, Xiao Yan sighed.

Thinking back to the time when they were maneuvering among the various forces in Juecheng, the people of Juecheng went from rejecting them to accepting them, and then to treating them as their own people.

This process is certainly not easy.

But the people of Juecheng have their own loyalty. Once they regard the other party as their own, they will treat each other with sincerity and protect each other through life and death.

On the way out of Juecheng, if it weren't for the experience of the people of Juecheng, countless people would have died in the black sandstorm.

While the two were silent, Lu Ping came over with hot soup, "Is this Yan'er?"

When Xiao Yan heard the voice, she looked up and saw a smiling woman. The woman was dressed simply, with only a jade hairpin adorning her bun.

She immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, "Master's Wife."

Lu Ping's face turned slightly red. She smiled lightly, asked Xiao Yan to sit down, and gave a look to the maid behind her.

"This is sent by the princess. It's good for your health. Drink some quickly."

"Yes."

Xiao Yan sat down, picked up the bowl, and drank the soup. All the fatigue from days of traveling was immediately swept away.

She squinted her eyes comfortably, "Is the princess okay?"

"Hahaha," Ma Dequan laughed warmly, "very good, very smart, but I just love to be lazy."

Green Screen rolled his eyes at him, "The princess is only seven years old, can't you be more lenient with her?"

Xiao Yan watched her master and his wife bickering, and felt relieved that her master finally had someone to keep him company.

"But," Ma Dequan suddenly looked at her, "You are already twenty-five, and you don't plan to get married?"

It's coming. Xiao Yan closed her eyes, but she couldn't avoid it.

"No hurry," Xiao Yan waved her hand, "When Sisi and her second husband give birth to a child, I will adopt him."

Ma Dequan's eyes shone, "No, what does your marriage have to do with you adopting your sister's offspring?"

"Ahem," Xiao Yan stood up and walked elegantly out of the main hall, saying, "I have no interest in getting married and having children!"

After shouting, she ran away.

Ma Dequan...

A mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, and he pointed at the door angrily. After a long while, he said, "This rebellious girl."

"Hahaha, I think it's good," Green Screen patted his back to calm him down, "Never mind, she's grown up and has her own ideas, so we shouldn't interfere in the children's affairs."

"cocoa……"

Ma Dequan had just received Xiao Yan and was pissed off by his own apprentice.

Qian Qian was also at Qingqiu Wharf to welcome Murong Xu's caravan.

Ning Yuanchen was still wearing his fiery red fox fur coat, standing in the sea breeze, calm and composed, "Look, what the king said? He will definitely come back after the new year."

Qian Qian glanced at him and opened his mouth but didn't refute him.

She looked at the clean and wide dock paved with thick cement, then turned to look at the majestic city gate with carved beams and painted buildings not far from the dock.

The three big words "Qingqiu City" above were written by Ning Yuanchen with the help of her father.

This was something she had never thought of. Although Qingqiu City was still under construction, the construction of the dock gate really made her very satisfied.

So, she was very tolerant towards Ning Yuanchen these days.

Murong Xu's merchant ship docked, and there were neatly dressed and smiling people on the shore, leading the way for the people getting off the merchant ship.

Soon the quiet dock began to become busy, and Murong Xu got off the boat with a dark face and a depressed mood.

He glanced at Ning Yuanchen calmly, ignored him and bowed to Qian Qian, "Your Highness, I'll trouble you to get the poison for you."

Ning Yuanchen had told him long ago that only Her Royal Highness the Princess could cure his poison.

With the help of Lin family's secret guards this time, he will be able to investigate his mother smoothly.

When the truth was laid before him, he was completely despaired.

He did not ask how the secret guards were going to deal with his mother.

[Tongzi,] Qianqian was a little worried, [Murongxu, are you okay? ]

[Well, my mentality is okay, I'll just rely on coughing to calm down from now on. ]

Qian Qian raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ning Yuanchen, who laughed heartlessly, "Oh, I told you, your mother really doesn't want you anymore."

Money money...

[This person really deserves a beating. ]

system……

[It's okay. You will get what you deserve for what you have done.]

Ning Yuanchen...

well?

Which what?
