The evil woman travels through the book and saves the sinners in the famine year

Gongxi Leqing felt that the eldest son of the former prefect was relatively upright, so he planned to let him take his family to a faraway place to serve as a county magistrate.

He turned his head, his eyes as sharp as a knife, and looked directly at the prefect's eldest son: "I plan to have you be the county magistrate of Xi County, which is far away from the prefectural capital."

Gongxi Leqing's tone was filled with an unquestionable majesty, leaving him no room for choice.

When mentioning Xi County, the magistrate's eldest son felt a surge of complex emotions. It was a remote and barren place.

Surrounded by mountains and with inconvenient transportation, it is often forgotten. However, at this moment he has no right to refuse or make a choice.

The other party was extremely kind by sparing his family's lives. He must be grateful and do his best to manage Xi County with all he had learned.

"Xi County...the land there..." The prefect's wife hesitated slightly and did not finish her words.

The desolate scene of that barren land, those narrow mud houses, and the dilapidated ridges of the fields already emerged in my mind...

"I know you have many concerns in your hearts, but you must understand that your (husband's) father's sins are serious, so you must bear this burden."

Gongxi Leqing's voice was like a huge bell, echoing in the spacious hall.

His gaze through the window seemed to have seen the future figure of the man in front of him, in Xi County, overcoming all obstacles and turning the tide.

The magistrate's eldest son took a deep breath, knowing that this was not only a personal test for him, but also a good opportunity to save his family's lives.

He nodded slowly, clenched his fists, and a firm strength surged in his heart: "I am willing to go."

His voice was filled with unyielding determination, "Please rest assured, sir. I will do my best to govern Xi County."

"I also believe that you have the ability. You should all go back to your yards to pack up and set off for Xi County immediately."

"Sir, I heard there's no water to drink outside. We're not afraid of hardship, but the children are still young..."

"Our wife said it will rain in a few days. You can bring enough water and food to eat along the way."

"Thank you, sir." The prefect's wife said gratefully, then turned around and gave instructions to her son.

"Xing'er, let's take your father and sister's bodies to Xi County to bury them."

"Don't worry, mother, I will take them with me." The eldest son of the prefect promised when he saw that Gongxi Leqing and his group did not stop him.

Li Ang watched the former prefect's family leave before turning around and asking, "Gongxi clan elder, do you think he is a talented person?"

"Whether he is talented or not, I don't know, but he is certainly well-read in the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Annals."

Leng Zhou was in need of scholars, but Gongxi Leqing naturally wouldn't tell Li Ang these words.

"Aren't you afraid that he will take revenge on you when he grows up?" Li Ang was once backstabbed by his so-called friend, and he has a trauma in his heart.

"Humph! As long as we are strong enough, why should we fear retaliation from others?"

"The elder of the Gongxi clan is right. I was being too narrow-minded!"

"You guys each find a yard to settle down and go get busy. Xiao Ji and I still have some things to take care of."

In the camp of the generals defending Liangzhou, several men in black acted quickly and in unison.

The swords in their hands flashed with a cold light, as if announcing the coming storm.

The man in black had a black cloth covering his face, revealing only his cold and ruthless eyes.

They are like hunters in the night, silently locking onto their targets and striking quickly and accurately.

An old general was keeping watch, his white hair swaying gently in the breeze, like a back worn down by time, bearing the brunt of endless hardships.

When he saw the group of men in black slowly approaching, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

He also knew that Liangzhou City would undergo earth-shaking changes today.

"Stop!" The old general's voice sounded particularly old in the silent night, but it also revealed a sense of fearlessness.

He straightened his body with all his strength, as if trying to use his meager strength to withstand the coming storm.

However, the group of men in black did not stop, as if his words turned into invisible wind in their ears and were easily forgotten.

When the men in black approached, the old general realized that their faces were covered with black cloth, which made them look mysterious and frightening.

Then the black-clad general waved his hand, and those men in black instantly gathered into an invisible force under the moonlight.

Like a sleeping beast, ready to pounce on their prey at any time.

The old general defending the city spoke again, "Don't kill them, I will commit suicide. Please let them go! They are also innocent soldiers."

"You don't need to commit suicide if you have this awareness. From now on, this place will be under our control."

Xiao Ji's voice was low and powerful, like thunder exploding in the air. As a battle-hardened general, he naturally did not want to kill his compatriots.

He slowly took off his veil, revealing a handsome but somewhat cold face.

It seemed as if the fate of this city was firmly in his control at this moment.

When the old general saw Xiao Ji, he was shocked and asked, "General Xiao? Are you General Xiao?"

"Yes, I am General Xiao Ji." Xiao Ji said loudly. He never thought that these soldiers defending the city regarded them as traitors.

"........."

When the old general saw Xiao Ji casually give his name, he didn't know how to respond.

The moment before, they were cursing these traitors in their hearts, but in the blink of an eye, they saw them as generals defending their country.

“We don’t know whose power this is, but it has penetrated every corner of Liangzhou City and can no longer be stopped.

If we had known it was General Xiao Ji's troops, we would never have resisted."

"Well, this is my fault. If I knew you were thinking this way, I wouldn't have brought people here at night."

In this endless night, the fate of Liangzhou City has quietly changed, just like the approaching dawn.

The undercurrent came to an abrupt halt. Overnight, the generals and prefects defending Liangzhou were quietly replaced, and they were all replaced by Mo Lengzhou's men.

Xiao Ji and the others were tall and stern, appearing mysterious and majestic in the hazy moonlight.

The new commander of the city defense is Xiao Ji's personal deputy general, an orphan without a father or a mother.

He was rescued by Xiao Ji when he was six years old, and since then he has been through life and death with Xiao Ji and experienced countless battles.

"I trust you, so I gave you the position of Liangzhou Defender. I hope you won't let me lose face."

His figure was like a mountain, and his face looked even more profound under the shadow of his black robe. "General, please rest assured. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

There was determination and courage in his eyes, as if at this moment, all the fatigue and struggle had turned into fearless determination.

Gongxi Leqing met Mo Yunfei and a group of young men at the city gate, and behind them followed a group of teenagers.

All of them are skinny and dark-skinned due to long-term malnutrition, and are the epitome of refugees.
