Before I went into exile, I was rich as hell.

Chapter 79 Arriving in Northwest City

These towns are not built between two mountains like Xichuan County, with only two gates for entry and exit.

The south gate and the west gate, if the two gates are closed, it means that one man is in charge of the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. It is difficult to attack the city.

It's even more difficult now, there are really people who want to do something, General Yun, who has experienced many battles, is stationed there, and there are [-] troops there.

When leaving, Su Yue also left fifty horses for them. In one month, those wild horses grew extremely strong, and even had a little spirituality.

These towns, even if the two armies are facing each other, they will not compete for such towns, and they will be a burden.

It took a full 20 days for a group of people to arrive in Northwest City.

Northwest City is the county seat of Northwest County, and the entire Northwest County is under the jurisdiction of Northwest City.

The towers of Northwest City can be seen from a distance, and Su Yue released her mental power to scan around, and she has a clear picture of the situation here.

Northwest City is worthy of being a county town. It is not like other places that are full of desolation, but this place is extremely prosperous. The drought seems to have no effect on this place.

The city gate is full of people coming and going.

The only unpleasant thing is that there are also a lot of refugees gathered outside the city gate.

Looking around, there are 10,000+ refugees, if not hundreds of thousands. The refugees from various places in Northwest County are all concentrated on the plain five miles outside the city.

There seems to be a small county town, but the places where they live are all sheds.

A real shantytown.

The clothes of the refugees living here and the people entering and leaving the city are completely different from those of the same world. The refugees are completely dressed like beggars, and everyone is starving, and everyone's eyes are yearning for the city.

When the group of them passed by there, the eyes of the refugees almost fell out, staring at them like a tiger, like they were little fat sheep.

If it weren't for the officers and soldiers guarding them, those refugees would have rushed up.

And Su Yong concluded from the conversations of the refugees that the reason why the refugees here did not dare to riot and stayed here obediently was that, firstly, some people came out to give porridge every few days in the northwest city, and allowed the refugees to enter the city to buy something every day. It is because there are also refugees hired in the city, and the third is that there are officers and soldiers guarding the northwest city, and the refugees dare not riot.

With the above three points, if the refugees can live, they will not take risks. After all, there are many people who are afraid of death.

However, the supply of porridge for several months, and the large number of refugees, is a drop in the bucket now, and many refugees are thinking of other ways.

Qin took the lead looking at the northwest city, and immediately asked, "Fourth master, Miss, shall we go into the city?"

You don't need to enter the city to reach your destination, just follow the official road at the gate of the city.

"Go into the city, why don't you go in." Murong Li pursed his lips, the master must live in this northwest city, otherwise there are officers and soldiers guarding everywhere.

If you want to come to Northwest County, this Northwest City is still a normal life, and that person will not go to other places.

"Okay, let's enter the city." Leader Qin waved his hand and led the team to the gate of the city.

Before reaching the gate of the city, a group of officers and soldiers blocked their way.

"Where did you come from? Please show proof before you can enter the city." The leader of the officers and soldiers drew out their sabers and swept them around Qin's leaders.

The leaders of Qin are all wearing military uniforms. They are members of the yamen, and the officers and soldiers in the lead dare not mess around.

Leader Qin immediately took out the official document and handed it to the leader of the officers and soldiers. The leader of the officer and soldier read the official document. He looked at the line strangely. He returned the official document to Leader Qin, waved to Leader Qin, and let him go.

Leader Qin put away the official documents and led the team into the city.

The leading officer immediately pulled an officer and whispered something in his ear, and the officer immediately ran into the city.

The leading officers and soldiers looked at the group of people going away with a pair of tiger eyes, and wondered in their hearts that this is not escorting prisoners, but protecting dignitaries, okay?

After Qin led the way into the city, he went directly to an inn and asked everyone to wash up first and rest for a night before talking.

For twenty days, I have been sleeping in the open in the barren mountains and mountains, and even the iron can't stand it anymore.

This time Su Yue lived in a room alone, and she could finally enter the space to have a good meal and sleep.

Along the way, she and Murongli never closed their eyes at night because they were afraid that someone would attack and kill them.

Sure enough, as they expected, several waves of people attacked and killed them, but they were all killed by her mental attack.

Some of them were taken care of by Murongli's hidden guards, otherwise it would not have been so easy to reach the Northwest City.

Before Su Yue entered the space, there was a knock on the door outside. She opened the door and saw that it was Murongli.

"Don't you need to rest?"

Su Yue asked him to let him in and closed the door.

Murong Li: "I'd better sleep in my bed."

"I will move your bed out for you in the future."

"do not."

After moving out, there was no excuse for him to be alone with her.

Su Yue thought it was because he was afraid of being discovered by others, she said, "Forget it, you didn't come here to sleep, did you have any actions tonight?"

Murongli nodded, lying on the bed unceremoniously, he said with a smile: "It's still Yue'er who understands me, and when I get to someone's territory, I have to visit him."

Su Yue rolled her eyes at him, and even visited him secretly at night.

"You want to check that batch of grain?"

Murongli looked a little tired, he yawned and said: "Well, look where it is put, they will definitely not take it out to help refugees."

If he found a place to store grain, he would be impolite and collect it for the refugees.

His supplies will arrive sooner than Chaoyan's disaster relief food. I don't want to worry about the robbery of food and the matter of Yue'er's space.

Su Yue nodded, seeing that he was indeed tired and was moving again at night, the two of them came to the space, after washing up, they went to sleep separately.

At the same time, the emperor rushed to receive the news, and the express report was that the relief food and relief money had been withdrawn.

He was furious, and immediately summoned a minister to the imperial study to see who he would send to retrieve the relief food and money.

It is impossible for him to distribute another batch. Where there is still money, the food can be distributed again, but if there is something to do in the future, then he will have a headache.

It's okay to say that the money is gone, and we can still find a way.

Like this time, if merchants are asked to donate money and food, won’t the treasury have money.

But food is something that only grows out of the ground, and that thing can't be harvested in a day or two.

So at some point, food is more important than silver.

In case something happens again, people can't let people eat money.

All the ministers were furious when they heard the news, but none of them wanted to petition to recover the relief food.

At this time Murong Yi took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "Father, let my son go, and those thieves will be caught, and the food and money will be recovered."

This time the crown prince didn't fight with him, not because he didn't want to fight, but because he couldn't leave the capital, if there was any change in the capital, he would regret it.
