A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

The afternoon sun was still scorching hot. There were not many pedestrians on the official road braving the scorching sun. The only sound in the long procession was the rumbling of horse-drawn carriages.

The old man was sleeping soundly in the carriage, his snoring was deafening. Yuan Ying curled his lips in disdain.

Yuan Ying was bored and leaning against the car window, watching the scenery going backwards. They had already entered the territory of Zhuang County. The rice fields on the roadside showed signs of being washed away by the flood.

As the vehicle moved forward, large tracts of farmland came into view. Farmers were working hard in the fields under the scorching sun. The sparse rice fields were malnourished and looked lifeless, forming a sharp contrast with the green rice fields in Shuiche Town.

The further the vehicle went, the poorer the land became, and from time to time, ragged pedestrians were encountered on the roadside.

Finally, in the evening, the large group finally arrived at the gate of Zhang County. Magistrate Wei of Zhang County, along with his family and the county government officials, had been waiting here for a long time. They saw the vehicles approaching.

County Magistrate Wei and others stepped forward and said, "Your humble servant Wei Yaoting and his family are here to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Jing." He knelt on the ground with a hunched back and a very low posture.

"Welcome His Royal Highness Prince Jing!" All the family members and yamen runners shouted in unison, wishing their voices could penetrate the streets and alleys, letting everyone in Zhuang County know that the extremely noble Prince Jing of Daxia has arrived! Zhuang County is saved.

Murong Xuanyi was wearing a dark green robe, and his black hair was tied up high with white jade. Zhang Xian had an extraordinary temperament. He got off the carriage with a dignified figure and said calmly: "Everyone, get up!"

County Magistrate Wei said in a panic, "Your Highness has worked hard on the journey. I should have welcomed you at the restaurant, but because of the plague, I can only place you in my own house. I hope Your Highness will not despise me."

"I am sorry to bother you!" Murong Xuanyi was rarely polite.

Murong Xuanyi said a few words to Jiang Chong, then followed County Magistrate Wei into the mansion.

Except for Murong Xuanyi's few confidants, the imperial physician, Yuan Ying and others, all other guards camped outside the city gate.

Yuan Ying followed behind and looked at the old county government, and suddenly thought of the magnificent county government of Ning'an County. It turned out that not every official was so rich.

Entering the hall, the furniture inside is old but clean and tidy. There is a couplet hanging in the hall: "The lights are on late at night and the books are interesting; the ink flowers are bright in the morning and the words are shining." It is obvious that this is a family of scholars.

Yuan Ying couldn't help but glance at County Magistrate Wei, who was in his thirties, dressed in ordinary cloth and thin, giving off an air of a gentlemanly scholar.

It seems that the Magistrate of Wei County should be a good official who is honest and upright and loves his people like his own children.

Magistrate Wei led the group to the hall and sat down. In front of them was a dinner that had been prepared long ago. Although it was not too sumptuous, it was probably the best thing Magistrate Wei could offer.

Murong Xuanyi sat down and said, "Master Wei, you don't need to prepare anything special from now on. Just eat what you want and everyone else can eat it."

County Magistrate Wei immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your consideration."

Then she cried, "Your Highness, the people of Zhuang County are suffering..."

"A while ago, there was a flood and the thatched houses were blown down by the strong wind. Now there is a plague. Half of the people are sleeping on the streets, with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat. They can only drink wild vegetable porridge every day to fill their stomachs..."

"Although I shed tears for the people, it is difficult to shoulder the worries of thousands of people, Your Highness."

"The barrenness of the fields is unimaginable. Farmers work hard for a whole year, but the grain they harvest is less than the seeds they sow!"

"I have no choice but to open the granary to release the grain, but the county government's granary is almost empty!"

Murong Xuanyi's face was visibly gloomy when he heard this and he said, "Mr. Prefect Zhang, the court allocated 100,000 dan of grain and 200,000 taels of silver to the affected counties and towns in Yunfu City. It was distributed two months ago when the flood occurred. Why haven't the victims in Zhuang County been resettled yet?"

Lord Zhang was so frightened that he stumbled and knelt down and said, "Your Highness, Prince Jing, please forgive me. The grain that arrived at Yunfu City was 10,000 dan, wheat bran 50,000 dan, and silver 20,000 taels. It was not 100,000 dan of grain and 200,000 taels of silver. Please check it out. I have already distributed them to the affected counties and towns. But there are too many towns affected by the flood under Yunfu City this time, and the relief funds from the court are just a drop in the bucket. Your Highness!"

The Wei County Magistrate continued, "I received 20 million dan of disaster relief grain, 10,000 dan of wheat bran, and 4,000 taels of silver."

Yuan Ying thought: The relief grain from the imperial court has been distributed layer by layer, and by the time it reaches the hands of the disaster victims, there may not be much left, and they won’t even have porridge to drink.

Murong Xuanyi slapped the table, causing the dishes to make a harsh sound. "Master Zhang, give me a detailed list of the disaster areas. Report everything here to the Imperial Censorate without missing a word."

Mr. Zhang knelt on the ground and responded repeatedly: "I obey your command."

…………

At the meal, everyone had no taste for the food.

After dinner, Yuan Ying, the old man, and several imperial doctors were arranged to stay in the west wing, while Murong Xuanyi and his guards stayed in the east wing.

The west wing could only accommodate two people in a room, so Yuan Ying was arranged to live in the same room with the old man.

Yuan Ying was carefree, but she was still a woman after all. She and the housekeeper asked to live in a servant's room.

The housekeeper said in embarrassment: "Sir, there are no single rooms among the servants. They are all shared beds."

Yuan Ying wanted to cry but had no tears. Just as he was thinking about what to do, Murong Xuanyi came out from the east wing and said, "You live in the east wing."

She was not willing to live with Murong Xuanyi, but she had no choice at the moment. This person was like an ice cube, very cunning, and Yuan Ying did not like dealing with such a person.

Murong Xuanyi thought that it was safest to keep the spies under his nose.

Yuan Ying reluctantly carried Brother Ying into the room. After a day's journey, Yuan Ying fell directly on the bed. Today, she felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen. She felt like she was about to have her period, but she couldn't remember when she had her period last month. She had never had her period on time. Yuan Ying was furious when she thought of the old man's words. She didn't know what kind of hell this period would be like.

Just when Yuan Ying wanted to go to sleep, Jiang Chong knocked on the door and said that the prince wanted her to discuss something. Yuan Ying stood up angrily.

Murong Xuanyi, this Zhou Ba Pi, doesn't want to let people live, isn't he tired after a day's journey? Sigh... the working soul of a worker. Working hard to earn small change.

She should be the most miserable time traveler. Others who traveled through time either became concubines or princesses, but she had to fly for a living.

How come the same person has a different fate? Alas...
