The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Yun Zhi, who was a few hundred meters away, had no idea that someone was talking about her.

At the hour of Xu, the light was on in her study, and she was looking at the booklet of refugee information sent by Lin Zhiyuan.

Turning the pages one by one until the last page is reached,

Liu Qinghe, 38 years old, from Anyi County, was a scholar in the 25th year of Yuankang, and a private school teacher.

Seeing this line of words, Yun Zhi paused and made a plan in his mind.

At this time.

"Snack Buckle"

"Enter."

Yun Jingxian came in with a pot of freshly brewed tea and replaced the pot of cooled tea on Yun Zhi's table.

Seeing that Yun Zhi was still busy, Yun Jingxian prepared to go out with the pot of cold tea.

"elder brother."

"what happened?"

Yun Zhi thought of the news brought back by the guards today and looked up at her.

"Tomorrow, you and Mr. Zhou will go down the mountain to investigate the surrounding bandit camps, especially the Qinglong Camp, and find out roughly how many people they have."

Yun Jingxian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Zhou right away."

"Go."

As the door closed, Yun Jingxian's figure disappeared from her sight.

Yun Zhi placed her hands on the table, tapping them unconsciously.

If the bandit camp has few people, then choose a day to attack them.

If there are many people, then you should conserve your energy before going.

Judging from their nature of burning, killing and looting, there must be a lot of things stored in the village, like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

By the time……

Yun Zhi raised a faint smile.

This investigation took several days, and we had recruited about 150 to 160 refugees.

Yunzhi has a limit on the number of refugees, which must not exceed 200.

Firstly, it is difficult to manage so many people suddenly. There are too few people who can be used now, and many decisions have to rely on her alone.

Secondly, the looted items were not enough to feed so many people. If there were too many people, they would not be able to make ends meet.

Third, human hearts are the most uncontrollable. If this group of people start a riot, they can be suppressed.

She has always known that human hearts are the most uncontrollable thing. Apart from the Yun family, Zhou Yifeng only has 80% trust in the Lin family.

The remaining two points are for vigilance. The path she takes can only lead to victory, not loss.

This way, even if they betray you, you can take countermeasures immediately.

On the other side, Liu Anruo has become familiar with many people here by virtue of his eloquence and fearlessness.

At the same time, she also learned a shocking news.

The lord here is actually a young woman who is only in her golden years.

She had thought that the lord might be a middle-aged man who was good at strategizing, or a young man full of vigor and vitality, and she even thought that he might be a peerless beauty.

But I never thought it would turn out like this.

This also made her more curious and she wanted to meet the real person.

I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

After seeing him, she found that being able to strategize, be high-spirited and be extremely charming could all be found in one person.

Early in the morning of the fourth day after arriving here, Liu Anruo took a basket borrowed from his neighbor and prepared to go pick some wild vegetables nearby, and by the way, look for any small animals out looking for food.

On the way, I happened to meet Qin Wan and Bai Zhi.

"Doctor Qin, are you out looking for herbs?"

"Yes, let's go to the mountains to see if there are any Xuejian and Cassia seeds."

Qin Wan looked at the person in front of her, with a smile on her gentle face, giving people a comfortable feeling.

He is eloquent, knows when to advance and when to retreat, and will not offend others.

I heard that her father was a scholar, so it's no wonder that she has a scholarly air and is well-spoken.

"Then I won't bother Doctor Qin anymore. I hope he can find the herbs he needs smoothly."

Qin Wan nodded and walked into the mountains with Bai Zhi.

After they walked away, Liu Anruo looked in the direction and walked over with the basket.

At noon, the sun was slowly rising.

Liu Anruo held the ice in her hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed her cold hands.

After feeling less stiff, she prepared to pick up the basket at her feet and go to the next place.

At this time, there was a small noise coming from the opposite side, and from the noisy sound, she caught the two key words.

"Lord"

Liu Anruo suddenly looked up and saw a young girl strolling in the yard among the weeds.

All the chaos around her did not diminish her composure in the slightest.

People around her called her respectfully.

In response to others' calls, she nodded slightly.

Every gesture and movement exudes a compelling aura.

Just as Liu Anruo continued to look at her, Yun Zhi stopped without warning, turned around and looked at her directly.

It was clearly a fairy-like face, but she lowered her head the moment she touched it.

She didn't know how long it had been, but when she looked up, Yun Zhi had already looked away and walked away.

Liu Anruo touched his wildly beating heart, and the ambition in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Her intuition told her that if she followed her, she would definitely achieve what she wanted.

She was very smart when she was young. She could recite the Four Books and Five Classics by the age of five, and her doggerel became popular throughout the county when she was seven.

Later, when I learned that the poet was a woman, I no longer wanted to sing this poem.

Liu Qinghe often sighed that if she were a man, she could be the top scorer in the imperial examination and even ride a horse in a parade.

But, because she was a woman, all her avenues were blocked.

How could she be willing to accept this? She is so knowledgeable but can only take care of her husband and children.

However, the moment she saw Yun Zhi, her mind was filled with the thought that she wanted to follow her and see a wider world.

She wanted to be the highest official in the country as a woman.

……

Yun Zhi stood on the top of the mountain and looked down. The number of people walking on the road was beginning to decrease.

This wave of escape should be coming to an end.

On the way down the mountain, I no longer saw the girl.

The man who looked at her with eyes full of desire and ambition.

It might not be long before she bumps into him herself.

When I walked to the open space, I happened to meet Yun Jingxian and Zhou Yifeng who had returned.

"Sister, why did you come out?"

Seeing Yun Zhi, Yun Jingxian excitedly ran to her.

"I went to the mountain to take a look."

Yun Zhi looked past him and at the people following him.

It turned out to be the village chief's family who had gone down the mountain to exchange things, and some people from that village. There was still deep sadness on their faces.

Noticing Yun Zhi's look, he hurriedly explained, "We met them on the way to their village. They were robbed by the people from Tianhu Village, and only these people escaped, so we brought them back."

No wonder he looks so sad.

Yun Zhi remembered that the village chief's family consisted of five people, but now the village chief and their youngest son were missing.

The once happy family was also broken apart.

but.

"Tianhu Village?"

"Yes, let's go back first and talk to my sister in detail when we get back."

The Yun family study.

"So there are three bandit camps?"

"Yes, three."

It seems that the attack on these bandit camps will have to be postponed.

According to their investigation, there were three bandit camps nearby.

Qinglong Village, Tianhu Village and Qingfeng Village.

There are about 300 people in Qinglong Village now, all of whom are civilians who have become bandits in the nearby area.

Relying on their large numbers, youth, strength and power, they hijacked caravans and passers-by, or plundered villages.

Tianhu Village is smaller in scale, with nearly 200 people, and does similar things as Qinglong Village.

As for Qingfeng Village, they are much more mysterious. They only rob caravans, and their men are all martial artists who know martial arts.

None of the three parties can act rashly and can only wait for the opportunity.

"correct……"

Yun Jingxian looked at Yun Zhi and said, "I met those shameless people."

The only people Yun Jingxian could address like that were his blood relatives, his grandparents.

"Oh?"

"When I saw them, they were arguing a lot. I listened for a while and it seemed that their good son didn't want to participate in the corvée, so he reported the old man's name."

"While fleeing, the old woman sprained her ankle on the road, and her son left her on the ground and left alone with his wife and children."

"Sister, is this just a case of evil being punished by evil?"

When the old couple loved their son so much, did they ever think that this would be the result?

"maybe."

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

That group of refugees has also passed the observation period, and more than half of them have built new homes and moved out.

Yun Zhi originally thought that after knowing that her lord was a woman, some people would make a fuss, and she would then kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, but she didn't expect that everyone was so obedient.

Maybe it was because these people were carefully selected by the guards, or maybe she saved them in their most desperate moments and they were grateful for her loyalty, or maybe because this place was so good, they just wanted to stay here safely.

On a vacant lot, Liu Qinghe wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the house in front of him that was finally about to be completed.

It was indeed as the adult who registered said, the people here were very nice and would come to help them build the house whenever they had time.

Otherwise, it would take their family another month to complete the construction.

At this moment, a voice came from behind, "Are you Liu Qinghe?"

Liu Qinghe quickly turned around and looked at the person in front of him.

After being here for so long, he almost knew everyone here, especially the person in front of him.

The lord's elder brother, the young master of the Yun family.

"Yes, I'm Liu Qinghe."

Yun Jingxian looked at the sweaty face and said, "Wash yourself up. Our lord wants to see you."

After Yun Jingxian walked away, his face turned pale. He looked at his daughter and said, "Ruoruo, what do you think the Lord wants to do with me? I don't seem to have done anything wrong."

Liu Anruo had a rough guess in his mind, "If Dad had made a mistake, he wouldn't have come to call you, but would have directly driven us down the mountain. It must be that the Lord wants to see you for something."

After hearing what my daughter said, it seems to be the case.

He hurried to wash up, changed into clean clothes and went to the Yun family.
