The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 289 This girl is not easy to mess with

"It's okay. I met a small group of hungry people when I came back. Fortunately, I ran fast, but my leg was scratched by the sickle thrown by those people!"

There was blood on Wan Baoquan's thigh, and he looked miserable.

Jing Li breathed a sigh of relief: "How is the situation in Chang'an?"

Wan Baoquan's face was ugly: "It's very bad. Many counties were attacked by hungry people. Even in Chang'an City, several food stores were robbed and set on fire. However, there were many officers and soldiers in the city, so they were quickly suppressed."

"There have been riots in many places outside. I heard from Uncle Fang that General Bai also put down the rebellion,"

"Chang'an City is very strict at the moment. If you are not careful, you will be caught as a thug. I was sent out by Fang Bo."

Jing Dafu and others all took a breath. Fortunately, Jingli prepared in advance and did not consider General Bai's rescue at all. If he waited for rescue, the county might not be saved!

"Let's go without further ado! Sir, take Uncle Fu and settle the people in the city! Don't let anyone take the opportunity to incite chaos!"

"Let the county government's servant girl make some steamed buns and boil some mung bean soup, and then give it to the villagers and others who have been recruited."

"Brother Huang, Brother Shen and I went to the city tower together to gather the civilians to complete the necessary defenses."

After Jingli arranged the county government affairs, he led people to the city gate and asked Ma Liu to inform the big families: "It's okay if they don't come. You have to call someone over to take a closer look. This commotion is... It’s not that we are alarmists!”

"Tell them they must have someone come. If they don't come, I will personally invite the heads of each family to come."

The guard at the city gate saw a girl going up to the city tower from a distance, and angrily scolded: "Whose girl are you from? Get down quickly, this is not the place for you to come!"

Master Lin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old Liu, don't rush to scold me yet. This is General Bai Changhe's niece. She..."

"I don't care whose niece she is, not even a girl from the emperor's family!" Master Lin was interrupted irritably by Old Liu before he could finish his words.

Yesterday, hungry people rushed into the city. He was always unhappy. He thought that if hungry people came here again today, they would definitely avenge their shame. Who could bear to entertain a girl?

Master Lin was so angry that he stamped his feet: "You are such a big bastard, can't you just listen to what others have to say?"

Old Liu Li ignored him and called to the two officers and soldiers watching the fun: "Are you blind or deaf? You saw people on the tower, but you didn't know how to move!"

The two officers and soldiers were scolded by their immediate superior, and turned around to pull Jing Li down.

Jing Li didn't care about what happened next and only discussed the defensive distribution of the tower with Shen Zhiming and Huang Biao.

Xiaocui, who was following behind, saw the two people reaching out, and his eyes turned cold. He threw an officer and soldier to the ground with a throw over his shoulder, and he screamed and couldn't get up.

Then with a flash of body, she reached the side of the other person. With a click, she removed the other person's arm again.

The officer and soldier lost one arm, and his face turned pale from pain.

Only then did Lao Liu begin to realize that this girl was unusual: "Who are you? Why are you coming here to cause trouble?" "Ouch! Lao Liu, you should listen to me first!" Master Lin grabbed Lao angrily. Liu, in a few words, roughly told what happened in Jingli today.

"You only knew how to guard the city gate, but you didn't know that many thieves came into the city. Mr. Li was beaten to death, as well as the young and old in the family, including me and Lao Liang. If the girl hadn't come quickly, I would have asked you to burn it for us. It’s the first seven!”

After listening to Master Lin's story, Old Liu couldn't come back to his senses for a while: "You mean, nearly a hundred or ten hungry people were all taken care of by this girl?"
"How can I be false after seeing it with my own eyes?" Master Lin rolled his eyes impatiently: "Not only did I avenge Mr. Li, but the 6000 men and horses below also took this girl half a day to get from those rich squires and the people in the city. It was gathered together by the common people!"

"You haven't been transferred to the Liao people who were killed last year. You don't know the situation. She not only killed the Liao people who were so cruel and plundering, but also robbed their tribes. You just say she is an ordinary person." ?”

Old Liu was stunned for a while, and then murmured to himself: "So she is the girl who fought against the Liao people and finally forced Master Han and Master Yuan to go to the grassland!"

"No, now you know why I brought her here, right?"

Master Lin looked at Jing Li who was studying the defense over there, and whispered to Old Liu: "Old Liu, don't be stupid, this man is a murderer without blinking an eye, and he is following the path of King Changling. If you really offend someone, it will be my turn to burn paper for you!"

After Master Lin finished speaking, he added a few words of warning: "The county government is very busy. The new adult has to sort it out. I have to help, so don't make it more complicated!"

After Master Lin finished speaking, he hurried away. Depending on what the girl wanted, she wanted to take over the whole county government. This person was different from Li Weishan. If things were not handled well, his job would probably be lost.

Old Liu regained his composure, stepped forward and said to Jing Li: "Girl, it was just me who couldn't see the truth. I have offended you so much, please forgive me!"

Jing Li looked at the city gate without looking back and said, "How many officers and soldiers are stationed at the city gate?"

Old Liu Zhengse said: "There are 580 people. There are 420 people on the city tower. There are 130 guards in various places below the city. There are 30 people in Xiu Mu today!"

After that, he briefly explained the various defense measures for the city gate.
Jing Li saw that he explained the situation clearly and was very clear about the movements of the personnel on duty everywhere. He was actually a person who knew how to do practical things, so she felt a little fond of him.

"Most of the people in this attack are hungry people, so there are no horses or anything like that. We're already busy today, so we won't be making antlers or anything like that. Let's dig the ground to make traps first!"

Lao Liu said disapprovingly: "Most of the hungry people are just a mob, no more than a thousand at most, and we have nearly 7000 people here now. We can just beat them up and massacre them, so why bother?"

Jing Li looked at Old Liu steadily and said: "Most of the people here are the common people in the city and the guardians of the major families. I asked them to come here to frighten the hungry people and strengthen the protection of the fortifications."

"They are all people with wives and children. There is no reason to risk their lives to stop hungry people. Mr. Liu, do you understand what I say?"

If the enemy can be annihilated at the gate of the city, then they must not be allowed to enter the city.

Old Liu was at a loss for words, and immediately he said with a look of shame: "Young girl has a kind heart, but I am too narrow-minded!"

"No!" Jing Li looked at the bloody setting sun in the distance: "I have never been a soft-hearted person. If it is possible to reduce the casualties, I have to minimize the casualties!"

Old Liu was in awe, and the group silently watched the peasants downstairs busy going back and forth, digging large holes and covering them with dead branches and leaves to make traps.

The night is like a wild beast waiting for an opportunity, and Lao Liu secretly hopes that tonight will be peaceful!
But Jing Li was thinking that if she wanted to come, she should come sooner, so that she could finish it early so that she could busy herself with other things.
