"Girl, where did you get this rice?" The old woman was shocked. She had not seen such white rice in a long time.
Gu Qingying explained gently: "My family is in business. This time we took the wrong route. The rest of the people are still waiting for me outside the village. You must accept these two bags of rice."
The old woman was so anxious that she said, "Young lady, you really can't do it!"
Gu Qingying sighed, looked at the old woman seriously and said: "My family is not short of these two bags of rice. Shenji Silk Satin Shop and Shenji Rice Shop in Yuncheng are all mine. Mother-in-law, I will be angry if you don't accept these two bags of rice." It’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave.”
Now that she figured out where this place was, there was no need to delay.
Before leaving, I found an excuse to go into the kitchen, left a few taels of silver, and then left with peace of mind.
To her, the old woman was just a passer-by, and the only thing she could do was to help as much as possible.
After the old woman's repeated attempts to persuade her to stay, Gu Qingying left the village.
She continued walking in the direction pointed by the old woman.
Finally, after walking for another half day, she saw a small town and hired a carriage in the town to return directly to Yuncheng.
She did not choose to go to the military camp because there were rules and she did not want to embarrass her father and brother.
There are still officers and soldiers stationed in Yuncheng, but compared to before, there are really many fewer officers and soldiers.
Gu Qingying returned directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
When the officers and soldiers guarding the gate saw Gu Qingying, several people immediately surrounded him.
"Miss, are you back? You are the one who started the fire this time!"
"Miss, you are so awesome!"
The officers and soldiers who gathered around were chattering away and asking questions that made Gu Qingying dumbfounded.
Gu Qingying raised her index finger and "shushed" and said: "Keep a low profile. The things I do are considered shameful. Don't publicize them! I didn't see that the people in Beiliang Kingdom want me to die!"
The officers and soldiers immediately realized that there were many people coming and going at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, and there were many spies, which would indeed bring trouble to Gu Qingying.
Everyone is very sensible, and after they figured it out, they all got out of the way tacitly.
Gu Qingying entered the gate smoothly.
Ever since officers and soldiers began to be stationed in Yuncheng, the City Lord's Mansion had become her father's residence.
Now that my father and brother are away, the city lord's mansion is deserted.
Gu Qingying walked around the house, only the maid and the servant were there.
When I returned to my room, I asked the maid to boil hot water, took a shower and changed my clothes. After changing into a dress, I felt refreshed.
At the border camp, the news that Gu Qingying returned to Yuncheng also reached the ears of Gu Xiao and General Gu, and their hearts dropped.
But this wave of attacks on General Gu and Gu Xiao no longer had any worries. The attacks forced Wanyan Lie and General Yelu to retreat repeatedly, and in the end they had no choice but to sue for peace and a truce.
Gu Qingying stayed in the city lord's mansion for three days, and good news came every day.
It was not until the fifth day that General Gu and Gu Xiao came back.
The two of them were very excited.
As soon as Gu Qingying saw the expressions of the two of them, she couldn't help but ask: "Did Wanyan Lie agree to withdraw his troops and call a truce?"
General Gu laughed and said: "Wanyan Lie never dreamed that your two fires would completely disrupt his layout. You don't know Wanyan Lie's purpose! He originally wanted to consume so much food and grass with us. "
He thought he would have to stay at the border for a long time, but now, he should be able to go back soon.
Gu Xiao said worriedly: "Qingying, we are worried about you these days. Are you okay?"
Gu Qingying smiled and shook her head and said: "It's okay. You all know that I have space. Didn't I tell my father when I left that I might take a while to come back. Fortunately, there is space, otherwise I would probably have died several times.
"
The Beiliang Kingdom Camp was not easy to break into. Especially after the fire was set, the entire camp was on alert.
Gu Xiao said: "Fortunately, you have space. If you didn't have space, we wouldn't let you go! You don't want to think that you, a girl, would go into a camp of 100,000 troops by yourself and set fire to it. You two torches Wan Yanlie
I’m so burned that I no longer have any temper.”
Gu Qingying covered her mouth and laughed: "He must be heartbroken. By the way, Dad, I have a lot of food stored in my space. I wanted to give it to you before and let you handle it, but I don't want to do that now."
If he had not passed through that village and met the old woman, maybe she would have chosen to give the food to General Gu.
But everything is unexpected, right?
She passed the village, met the old woman, and learned about the current situation of the village. She believed that this village was not an exception, and that all villages near Yuncheng should be like this.
The people are suffering.
The war has really brought nothing to the people.
She never thought she was a kind person, but everything she did was done with a clear conscience.
General Gu said: "What do you want to do with that food?"
He knew that the amount of food in the space was not a small amount. Even if the army ate it, it would take more than half a year.
Gu Qingying said seriously: "I want to use the name of the Shen family to distribute food to the people near Yuncheng."
Then she told about the villages she met on the way back and what happened to the old woman.
Gu Xiao and General Gu listened carefully, with serious expressions.
When Lu Qingying saw the two of them acting like this, she knew the outcome, and they would definitely support her.
Gentle said: "What do dad and brother think?"
General Gu looked at Gu Qingying with joy and said: "When you grow up, no matter what decision you make, my father will support you. Since you want to give food to the people, then let's share it! It doesn't matter whose name it is in, what's important is that the food can
into the hands of the people."
Gu Xiao also smiled and said: "Sister, no matter what you do, brother will support you. What's more, giving to the people is the best choice."
Why are they fighting so hard? It’s not because they want the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
General Zhao knocked on the door at this time.
Gu Xiao stepped forward and opened the door.
General Zhao laughed heartily as soon as he entered the room: "Qingying, you are doing a great job burning the fire! Look how the emperor praised you in his letter!"
Gu Qingying didn't expect that the emperor would reply so quickly.
"Is this a letter from the Emperor?"
General Zhao smiled and said: "Of course, and the emperor has a separate letter for you."
After speaking, he handed both letters in his hand to Gu Qingying.
The letter was obviously written to her father and the others. The letter expressed the emperor's intention that he would never agree to Wanyan Lie's request to marry Gu Qingying. In addition, he praised Gu Qingying for his ability to burn the flames.
Let the situation turn around.
This reply was written before the war.
And the news of victory has not yet been sent back.
Gu Qingying opened another letter written by the emperor.
The letter is full of concern.
After watching it, Gu Qingying felt a little blocked.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to calm down a little, then sighed.
