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

The old woman nodded slightly, then followed the man in black towards the foot of the mountain.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, after receiving the news that the manor had been seized, the City Lord was so angry that he smashed the teapot on the ground.

He said angrily, "It must be Zhao Muwang and his men. Someone, go to the barracks and see if they are there."

When the butler heard this, he quickly nodded, "Yes, sir."

The housekeeper took the servants to the military camp and saw Deputy General Zhao and his men drinking in the yard. The ground was filled with wine bottles and it looked like they had been drinking for a long time.

Seeing this, the butler led his men to the door and looked at the soldiers at the door, "Deputy General Zhao and the others, how long have they been drinking here?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier bowed and said, "We have been drinking for several hours."

When the butler heard this, he frowned slightly. After asking a few more people, he took his people back.

When Deputy General Zhao received the news that the people had already gone back, there was no sign of drunkenness anymore.

He glanced at everyone and said, "Go back."

After hearing this, everyone walked into the house and looked at Jiang Yi.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jiang Yi did not hide it anymore. Instead, he looked at them and said calmly, "Don't look at me like that. I just knew the news about the princess earlier than you did."

When Vice General Zhao heard this, he asked, "So, the story about the princess is true?"

Jiang Yi nodded, "That's right.

If you don't believe me, wait until tomorrow, when you meet her, and you'll understand."

When everyone heard this, no one said anything else.

After returning home, the butler looked at the city lord and said, "Master, they are all in the barracks and have never gone out."

The man frowned when he heard this, "Have you confirmed it?"

The butler nodded, "It has been confirmed.

The old slave found several soldiers guarding the gates, and they all said that Deputy General Zhao and his men had not left the yard.

I took a look and saw a yard full of wine bottles. It didn’t look like they were fake.”

When the city lord heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Send people up the mountain to look for it. I don't believe that with so many people, there won't be any trace.

When I find their families, I will skin them alive."

When the butler heard this, he sent someone to look for him. The city lord looked at the butler and said, "Go ask the people if there are any suspicious people in the city?"

The butler nodded and went to investigate the matter.

When Xiao Lengyue received the news that the matter had been accomplished, he ordered an attack overnight.

At this moment, they had arrived at a place ten miles away from the city.

Xiao Lengyue looked at the sky and saw that it had begun to turn red, so he ordered, "Attack."

Upon hearing this, Leng Haohui took the lead and walked ahead. Before the city lord could find out the news, he heard the servants coming to report that the princess was already outside the city gate, clamoring for them to surrender.

When the city lord heard this, he laughed and walked out with big strides, saying, "Take me to see who is the one who is not afraid of death and is pretending to be a princess."

After the man finished speaking, he walked out quickly.

When I arrived at the main street, I saw that the soldiers were guarding the city gate, and I felt a little relieved.

He arrived at the city gate and saw Zhao Muwang and his men preparing for defense, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Deputy General Zhao, what's going on?"

When Zhao Muwang saw the city lord coming, he bowed and said, "City lord."

Seeing him so respectful, the man smiled, nodded complacently, and asked, "How is it?"

Deputy General Zhao bowed and said, "They are all under the city gate. Please let the city lord decide."

When the man heard this, he walked out. When he saw Xiao Lengyue at the city gate, he froze instantly.

He looked at the face that looked exactly like the queen, and quickly looked to her side. When he saw that it was indeed a member of the Leng family, he immediately stepped back.

Deputy General Zhao and others looked at the city lord's reaction, and after confirming the identity of the subordinates, they looked at each other calmly.

At this moment, the city lord said in a trembling voice: "Remember, no matter what the reason, you must not let them into the city."

After saying that, he took a deep breath and looked at them fiercely, "If the city gate is lost, your family will have no way to survive."

After the city lord said this, he saw that everyone's expressions changed, and he felt a little relieved.

It seems that they were not the ones who robbed people last night, otherwise they would not be so excited.

After the city lord finished speaking, he hurried back. Just in case, he decided to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Watching his fleeing figure, Deputy General Zhao looked at everyone and said, "Open the city gates to welcome the princess in a moment."

Everyone nodded and went downstairs to prepare.

Xiao Lengyue, who was already at the gate, looked at the situation on the gate and frowned slightly, "Brother, wait for another half a quarter of an hour.

After half a quarter of an hour, if the city gates are still not opened, forcefully attack the city."

Leng Haohui nodded and began to prepare in advance.

Half a quarter of an hour later, when Leng Haohui was about to lead his men to attack the city, he saw the city gate slowly opening.

Everyone looked at the city gate and saw a man, accompanied by some soldiers, walking out.

There were some common people following behind him.

Deputy General Zhao looked at Xiao Lengyue, who stood out in the crowd, and knelt down, saying, "Welcome, Princess."

Seeing this, Xiao Lengyue glanced at Deputy General Zhao, and after seeing that none of the people raised their heads, he said, "Get up."

After saying that, he looked at Leng Haohui and said, "Major General Leng, remember, anyone who commits a crime will be punished by military law."

Leng Haohui nodded, and led his soldiers, following Xiao Lengyue into the city.

Just like before, after taking the soldiers to the open space, they began to set up camp.

At the City Lord's Mansion, when Xiao Lengyue arrived, the City Lord had already been tied up.

Xiao Lengyue looked at the man who was already pissing himself with fear and said sarcastically, "A dignified city lord is actually so useless."

Seeing this, Tianze waved his hand and the man was taken away.

Xiao Lengyue didn't expect it to be so smooth. After taking a short rest, she asked Tianze to call Deputy General Zhao.

When Deputy General Zhao heard the princess calling him, he was stunned for a moment and then hurried over.

Xiao Lengyue looked at the person who came and said directly: "Your family should have returned home by now."

When Vice General Zhao heard this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life."

Seeing that he was so tactful, Xiao Lengyue didn't say anything else, but directly said: "From this moment on, the people's tax will be restored to the previous 20%.

If people have no land to grow vegetables at home, they will reclaim wasteland.

No tax will be levied on wasteland reclaimed within this year for three years.

I will send someone to stay and help you, and let him leave once the people are settled."

When Zhao Muwang heard this, he looked at Xiao Lengyue in shock and trembled as he asked, "What does your highness mean?"
