Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Xiao Lengyue nodded and said, "Let each household reclaim wasteland and grow vegetables. If the land is reclaimed this year, no tax will be paid for three years."

After that, he looked at Tianze and said, "Spread this news and let the people in other cities know about it. This way, they can open up wasteland and plant vegetables in advance."

As soon as Xiao Lengyue said this, everyone at the table looked at her.

Seeing everyone looking at her, she asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Old Master Murong shook his head, "Your Highness is wise."

Xiao Liu nodded vigorously, "Your Highness, if this is the case, then the people will have a way to survive."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she looked at Xiao Liu and said, "Xiao Liu, what is your original name?"

When Xiao Liu heard this, he laughed, touched his neck, and said, "I'll call you Xiao Liu."

Tianze heard this and explained: “Your Highness is asking, what is written in your appointment letter?

Why don't we see Xiaoliu?"

When Xiaoliu heard this, he understood it instantly and said, "My appointment letter says it's Lao Lu."

"Lao Lu?" Leng Huaizhong asked suspiciously.

When Xiao Lengyue heard the name, the information about this person flashed through his mind, and he said, "Are you the Lao Lu who, for the sake of the people, risked his life to denounce the city lord and then became the city lord himself?"

When Xiaoliu heard this, he nodded and said excitedly: "Your Highness, do you know me?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "After all, there are only a handful of little snakes that dare to compete with pythons for food and win."

When Xiaoliu heard this, he laughed a little embarrassedly.

At that time, he had no time to be afraid of anything. He just wanted to do something for the people. If he did nothing, the people would have to wait to die.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet Li Guogong who was on patrol, otherwise, he would have definitely died.

Xiao Lengyue looked at Xiao Liu and said calmly: "Do you know what the situation is in the next city?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu sighed softly, "Your Highness, as far as I know, the lord of the next city is the new emperor's man."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Got it."

After eating, Xiao Lengyue looked at Xiao Liu and said, "I will take half of your soldiers away.

I will leave someone for you at that time to assist you and implement the promise I made before."

Xiao Liu heard this and nodded, "I obey your order."

After Xiao Lengyue returned from the City Lord's Mansion, she looked at Old Master Murong and asked, "Master, can your body handle such a long journey?"

When Old Master Murong heard this, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, I am in good health and can keep up."

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his expression, Xiao Lengyue nodded and said, "Master, you should rest first. Tomorrow, we will set off for the next city."

Old Tutor Murong nodded and went downstairs to rest.

The next day, Xiao Lengyue set out with 15,000 soldiers.

The lord of the next city had already received the news that it was the princess who led her soldiers to attack the city.

At this moment, in the City Lord’s Mansion, the City Lord was looking at the people below with a sullen face, and ordered in a cold voice: “Be sure to stop the person for me.

No matter what method you use, you must not let that impostor enter the city."

When the soldiers heard this, they looked up at the city lord and asked, "City lord, do you mean that this woman is pretending to be the princess?"

When the man heard this, he sneered and said, “What else?

Deputy General Zhao, don't forget that the princess passed away a long time ago and there is already a new emperor.

If you let the fake people into the city, I will never forgive you."

The man left after he finished speaking, without caring about the soldiers who remained there.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, they all looked at the person who had just spoken, and whispered, "Master Zhao, what should we do?"

When Deputy General Zhao heard this, he pondered for a while and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back." After that, he stood up and walked towards the military camp.

When the city lord learned that they had left, he smiled, asked the servants to leave, and then threw himself on the bed.

Seeing him like this, the woman on the bed couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, can you just ignore it?

If you don't stay here, what if they have other ideas?"

When the man heard this, he took a deep breath of the woman's scent and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, they don't dare to let it in.

As long as they let people in, their families will be buried with them."

After the man finished speaking, he saw that the woman wanted to talk more, so he said unhappily: "If you say anything more, get out."

When the woman heard this, she didn't dare to say anything anymore. She quickly coaxed the man, and soon, moaning sounds were heard from the house.

The others have already returned to the barracks.

As soon as they got back, one of the men looked at the deputy general Zhao and said, "Brother Zhao, what should we do?"

When Vice General Zhao heard this, he looked up at the others and asked, "What do you think?"

Man 1: "Brother Zhao, I'll listen to you."

Man 2: "I don't know if the news that was sent back is true?"

Man 3: “Even if it’s true, we have no choice but to resist. Otherwise, what will happen to our families?

They are all still in the hands of that damned man."

···········

Deputy General Zhao listened to what everyone said, sighed deeply, looked at everyone and said: "Maple Leaf City has surrendered, and it only takes more than a day to get here.

The most important thing is that the princess restored the tax rate to the original 20%, and if you reclaim land this year, you can be exempted from taxes for three years.

I got all this information from the people. If we want to resist, the people probably won’t allow it.”

As soon as Deputy General Zhao said this, everyone fell silent. Yes, even if they had more soldiers, once the people rioted, they would be no match for the princess.

At this time, a man whispered, "So, that princess is really the legitimate daughter of the late emperor?"

When Vice General Zhao heard this, he looked at the person who spoke coldly, "If it wasn't her, who else could have made General Leng lead the troops to attack?"

"Then what should we do?

It is not right to defend, and it is not right not to defend either."

Man 3: "Yes, we need to think of a solution quickly."

When Vice General Zhao heard this, he said coldly: "Wait until midnight, and we will go rescue them.

Rescue your family first and then make plans. If that doesn’t work, go find General Leng. He will definitely have a solution.”

As soon as Deputy General Zhao said this, everyone nodded in unison. That's right, if they really couldn't rescue their families, then they would go find Leng Haohui. He would definitely not stand idly by.

After everyone had made their agreement, they all dispersed and began to prepare for tonight's events.

The man who had just spoken weakly, after returning home, quickly wrote a letter, came to the backyard, and said, "Hurry up and send it to the master."
