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

Zhang Wu lowered his head and said, "The escort team is too tired, so the servants are back."

After saying this, Zhang Wu was suddenly stunned and thought, how did His Highness know that I was in the escort team before?

Also, that voice, why does it seem so familiar to me?

Zhang Wu was thinking and fiddled with it, and fell into deep thought. Xiao Lengyue looked at Zhang Wu and said with a smile: "Raise your head."

When Zhang Wu heard this, he raised his head, and then he stood there in a daze.

He was shocked and asked, "Madam Song?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Yes, it's me.

Why, disappointed?"

When Zhang Wu heard this, he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "No matter what, I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

No matter how dumb he was, he knew at this moment that the second daughter-in-law of the Song family was the lost princess.

When Zhang Wu thought of this, a chill rose behind his back.

Xiao Lengyue said coldly: “Get up.

I will ask you something, and you must tell me the truth."

Zhang Wu nodded, "Yes."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she knew his attitude, so she asked directly: "Why did you leave?"

Zhang Wu understood what she was asking, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I don't want to send a good official anymore."

Hearing this, Xiao Lengyue laughed. She didn't expect that Zhang Wu left because of this.

But it was better this way, otherwise, she would not feel at ease and let him take the remaining officials with him.

Xiao Lengyue didn't hesitate any more and looked at Zhang Wu, "Are you familiar with the environment and people here?"

Zhang Wu nodded, "I am a local, and I have sorted out my household registration in the government office and the county office before."

After hearing this, Xiao Lengyue probably understood and nodded, "Then you should stay in the government office to help the new city lord."

When Zhang Wu heard this, he looked at Xiao Lengyue fiercely. After seeing that she was serious, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Lengyue said calmly: “Get up.

Go back and pack up, and start work tomorrow. As for the salary, I will tell you when the city lord comes."

Zhang Wu nodded happily and didn't even remember how he left the City Lord's Mansion.

When I got back and told my family about it, they all cried with joy.

And Xiao Lengyue, after Zhang Wu left, looked at Long Er and said, "Go and call Zhao Yan over."

When Long Er heard this, he turned and left.

This time, Xiao Lengyue brought some military generals and civil servants with him so that they could garrison in the city when needed.

This city is called Xianyang City. It has a good geographical location and is very large and wide.

Xianyang City is located in the center, surrounded by plains on all sides, so if there is any disturbance, it is easiest to discover and seek help.

The city had a small military presence, with only three thousand soldiers guarding it, so she considered it.

Zhao Yan is a civil servant and can clean up the local officials here.

As for Zhang Wu, she had seen his martial arts skills and his strategy, and he had no problem leading three thousand soldiers.

With him assisting Zhao Yan, managing this place is not a problem at all.

She couldn't move the other people in her hands, so it was just right to keep these two.

After Xiao Lengyue thought it through, Zhao Yan also came.

"Zhao Yan greets His Highness."

Xiao Lengyue looked at Zhao Yan who was kneeling in front of her and asked, "Zhao Yan, if I leave you here, are you willing?"

When Zhao Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xiao Lengyue in disbelief and asked excitedly, "Your Highness wants me to stay?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Yes.

We need a new city lord here. I have read your information and think you are qualified for the job.

Of course, I have arranged for you a soldier who is familiar with the local customs to guard the city gate, so your safety will be guaranteed."

After Xiao Lengyue finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Yan and asked, "Do you understand?"

Zhao Yan asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, what you mean is that I am responsible for managing the city and eliminating corrupt officials, and he is responsible for guarding the city gates and protecting my safety at the same time?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, thinking of the information Tianze had investigated, and said, "Don't worry, this time, no criminals will attack you again."

When Zhao Yan heard this, his face turned red instantly. The reason why he was exiled to a desolate place was because when he was an official, he did not know how to adapt and offended the local bully.

He was wholeheartedly trying to serve the people, so he put the bully in jail and was about to hand him over to the prefect, but he didn't expect that he would be kidnapped himself.

In order to escape, he beat up the kidnapper, but later he was reported to the prefect, who accused him of occupying an official position and injuring civilians at will, so he was exiled to a desolate place.

As for the real reason for exile, the bully told it himself the night before he was exiled.

It turned out that the prefect was his uncle, and his conviction was all a trap set by the prefect.

After he knew the truth, he had no way to do anything. The officials protected each other, and he, a small county magistrate, had no way to deal with them.

Now, hearing what Xiao Lengyue said, Zhao Yan went over the previous events again in his mind.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Xiao Lengyue did not urge him, but said: "Go back and think about it. If you are willing, send someone to tell me."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan instantly came back to his senses and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I am willing.

I never thought that I could become the lord of this city."

Hearing this, Xiao Lengyue said with a smile: "Why? Do you feel that you are not up to the task?"

Zhao Yan quickly shook his head and said, "No, I can do it.

I was a little worried about the safety of myself and my family before, but now that your Highness's soldiers are guarding me, I am not afraid anymore."

Xiao Lengyue nodded when she heard this, "He will come tomorrow, his name is Zhang Wu.

You can start preparing now, because the army will set out at night.

Once things are more stable here, we can go to the border and bring our relatives to settle here."

After hearing Xiao Lengyue's words, Zhao Yan knelt on the ground excitedly and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhao Yan never regretted helping the people and was exiled to a desolate land.

But, I feel sad when I see my old mother suffering with me.

Now, with His Highness's pardon, it would be the best thing to be able to bring my relatives to my side.

After Xiao Lengyue asked him to go and interrogate Concubine Nie's brother, she looked at Long Er and said, "Notify the army to set off in two hours."

When Long Er heard this, he went downstairs to arrange things.

When Chunxiang and the others received the news, they began to pack up their things in a hurry.

When Xiao Rende learned that Xianyang City had fallen and all his secret guards had been killed, even Xunwu had been killed, he was so angry that he threw the teacup in front of him at the man in black in front of him.

"I'm supporting you, and you can't even handle a woman. Haven't I already given them the medicine?

How could they be completely destroyed?

Useless, what a bunch of trash."

Xiao Rende was so angry that the veins on his head popped out. After he finished his rage, he took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Send someone to Liucheng again, and this time, you must kill her for me."
