Chapter 292: One person at ease
On the way from Sansi County to Sanwu County, the Dynasty army's food and grass disappeared overnight. The team escorting the food and grass was not only beaten, but also had to pay compensation for the losses.
But these people are just small bosses and don’t have that much wealth, so even if there is compensation, it is impossible to get it so quickly.
As a result, the 200,000 troops in Sanliu County were short of food. The hungry army was in a bad mood. Not only did they not work well, but naturally, they had nothing to do in their daily lives.
Anyway, they no longer obey the orders of their superiors and often organize teams to disturb the public.
Fortunately, in the animal world, adult males cannot violate females, otherwise more tragedies would have occurred.
But even if it was just breaking into houses and robbing property, the citizens of the city suffered terribly, so three or five county lords mobilized the city defense army to maintain order.
The conflict became even more intense, with frequent accidental clashes between the two sides, which soon turned into a standoff between the two armies, resulting in countless casualties.
On Jiang Changle's side, all the citizens and soldiers in Sanliu County were involved in the construction, and even the Zhou family army came to help in addition to defense.
Because they have wages and three meals a day, the soldiers are happy even if they cannot be allocated houses in Sanliu County.
Before the Northern Kingdom’s army is completely driven out of the Eastern Kingdom, the Zhou family army must obey the orders of the Fourth Princess.
Don't listen? Do you want to starve like those 200,000 imperial soldiers? Those people were just as arrogant before as they are now.
Naturally, Kyoto will certainly send more food and fodder, but the Black Dragon Guards will certainly go to rob them. Only when the Dynasty Army realizes its mistake and finally surrenders and begs for mercy, will the Fourth Princess consider whether to recruit these people.
After all, 200,000 troops are only a lot for the Fourth Princess when she needs them, and nothing when she doesn't need them.
The longer Zhou Jiajun spends with the Black Dragon Guards, the more deeply they understand this.
Before long, houses in Sanliu County were gradually built. Every house was exquisite and beautiful, the streets were neat, and even the city walls were thickened and raised, looking very spectacular.
The Jiang family workshop was settled in Sanliu County. In addition to bricks and tiles, it also made shoes, clothes, medicine, etc.
Of course, the most important thing is planting, otherwise no matter how much money you have, you will have nowhere to buy things.
There are not many people in Sanqi County, and Sanwu County is too chaotic for many businesses to do business there. Sanliu County, which is sandwiched in between, can only rely on itself.
Fortunately, if we plant now, we will be able to harvest another batch of grain this year. Naturally, such good seeds come from Jiang Changle's space.
The Lady of Sanliu County redistributed the land to the beastmen. After Jiang Changle distributed the grain seeds, he prepared to lead the Jiang and Zhou armies to continue north to recapture the lost cities.
But she always felt that she had forgotten something?
It wasn't until Jin Xing appeared worriedly that Jiang Changle slapped his forehead and said, "What did I let slip? Jin Xing, how are you and your wife getting along?
Whether Sanliu County can be used for your own benefit depends on you, Big Brother."
But in fact, Jiang Changle only hopes that Jin Xing can be happy. Whether he chooses to continue to be husband and wife with County Master Yao or break up the relationship, it is up to him.
But the problem must be resolved, Jiang Changle will know how to deal with Sanliu County. If he is one of them, he will naturally put in more effort.
If the relationship is average, then forget it. As long as the three or six counties can operate normally, the rest is the dynasty's business.
But she has more important things to do. In addition to expelling the Northern Army, she may also have to look for the remaining three divine beasts.
Huo Qilin has been having a bad premonition lately, and Mo Chen has also calculated that a catastrophe is about to happen, but he cannot estimate what exactly it will be.
Jiang Changle couldn't help but get anxious. In the face of natural disasters, everyone's power is insignificant. If he didn't want to lose more in the future, he had to prepare now.
Find the other three mythical beasts and maintain the order and stability of the space, so that they will be useful in construction.
Otherwise, no matter how well it is done now, it will collapse one day in the future, and the losses suffered by the beastmen will be irreparable.
Jin Xing knew more or less what Jiang Changle was worried about, but he really couldn't do it, "I can just compensate her.
I've mentioned this to the princess before, but I'm not very good at getting along with females, and I'd rather live alone.
From now on, I just want to stay by the princess' side and do my job well. I think this is very meaningful.
Princess, you don’t have to think about me, just do your own thing.”
The master has too many things to worry about, and Jin Xing doesn't want her to worry about his own affairs.
Jin Xing could feel that County Lady Yao was deliberately avoiding him, and he didn't have time to bother her any further, so they just said goodbye and wished each other well.
"Since you have made your decision, we will set out tomorrow and lead our army north.
You looked so sad just now, what happened?"
"Something's going on. News just came from the north that the Northern Army is gathering more and more troops. Previously there were one million, and now there are fifty more. I heard that they encountered a sandstorm while crossing the desert, and lost a lot of troops.
I also heard that the Zhang family army also disappeared into the desert along with the Northern Kingdom army. I wonder if Mr. Chu has contacted the Zhang family army. I am worried~"
Chu Weifeng had not sent back any news since he left, so as soon as he received the news, Jin Xing came back to report.
When Jiang Changle heard this, her expression became serious, but she believed in Chu Weifeng's strength and knew that nothing would happen easily. A mere sandstorm would not be able to do anything to him.
But it’s not certain for Zhang’s army. Besides, what happened in the North Country?
Even though they knew that the Black Dragon Guards had extremely powerful bombs, the Northern Army still mobilized the entire country to take the risk. What was going on?
Is the North Kingdom really that unwilling to stay? It can't be that they are just greedy for the land of the East Kingdom, right?
What exactly happened in the North Country? This question needs to be understood.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chu Weifeng and the Black Dragon Guards beside him must not be in any danger.
"Inform the troops to reorganize and set out early tomorrow morning. We, the Black Dragon Guard, will be lightly equipped and will depart first."
"Yes!" Jin Xing hurried away again and almost bumped into County Master Yao when he reached the door.
Lady Yao frowned, expecting the man to make a clumsy apology, but unexpectedly he just nodded slightly and left.
Yao County Lady felt relieved and walked into the room to bow to Jiang Changle. "Princess, what happened?"
Jiang Changle was no longer as easygoing as before, but now had a businesslike attitude.
"It's just right that County Master Yao has arrived. We'll move camp tomorrow morning. We'll have to rely on you for matters concerning Sanliu County. If you're unsure about anything, I can recommend you to go directly to His Majesty."
Yao County Lady knew that this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. She had just gotten used to the man appearing in front of her, and now he was leaving.
"Are you all leaving?"
Jiang Changle smiled faintly, "Of course, even if County Master Yao leaves, she can be at ease."
Jiang Changle could see that Jin Xing had been trying to make amends and repair their relationship, but County Master Yao had been pushing Jin Xing away, and the specific reason was unknown.
But love in this world can only last if it is a two-way effort. No one can wait for one person in the same place for a lifetime.
That's why Jin Xing said that he wanted to live freely alone.
County Master Yao was still a little dazed, and now she couldn't figure it out.
