The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

A few days later, the prefect returned home and a servant brought him a letter, saying that it was specifically for him to be delivered personally to the prefect.

The prefect didn't think much about it, thinking it was a letter from his former friend, so he opened it and read it immediately.

But as soon as he saw the first sentence, he was immediately shocked. Is what is said here true or false?

He didn't dare to think too much, so he hid the letter on his body. After tossing and turning all night, he came to the palace to ask to see the emperor.

The emperor is eighteen years old this year and ascended the throne five years ago. The imperial power is now in the hands of the regent and will be returned to him after the emperor's wedding.

However, the late emperor had left behind several ministers including the prime minister and the regent to check and balance each other. After the emperor got married at the age of sixteen, the regent deliberately made excuses to delay, saying that the emperor had no children yet and could only rule the country after he had one.

The emperor was secretly planning, the regent was secretly obstructing, and the ministers were watching. After they gained power, they were reluctant to give up everything that the late emperor had given them.

However, there are still some ministers who insist that the emperor is the one who has the mandate of heaven and that the imperial power should be returned to the emperor rather than the regent.

Among them was the prefect, who had arrived at the palace early to ask for an audience with the emperor. The palace people all knew the position of this man, who was extremely talented but had been stuck in the position of prefect of the capital because he had offended the regent, so as soon as he arrived, the palace people hurried to inform the emperor.

When the emperor saw the letter in his hand, which was already full of creases, he was skeptical about the words in the letter.

"Your Majesty, if we had enough people to investigate the border, we would surely be able to discover the clues and prevent this disaster from happening."

"But who sent this letter, and what is its purpose? If it's fake, the Regent will use it as an excuse to prolong my reign. Furthermore, our biggest concern is the lack of manpower in the army."

Although the emperor said this, he was also worried that this incident would actually happen. He wanted to stop it, but he was powerless.

"Has the Emperor forgotten someone?"

"Who?"

"Lao Xin Guo Gong."

"But didn't he die in battle?"

"Your Majesty, although Duke Xin died in battle, his eldest son is now at the border. I heard that his eldest son is also a capable warrior, but he is being ostracized by the Regent's men. If we can win him over and learn about the enemy's movements in advance, we can also prevent this catastrophe."

"But who sent this letter, and what was its purpose? Could someone really predict the enemy's news in advance?"

"I don't know who sent it. I sent someone to investigate, but they only found out it was a beggar. The beggar didn't know who asked him to deliver the letter, but he just told him to deliver it today."

The prefect had a guess in his mind, but he thought it was too outrageous. The children of the Earl of Zhongyong had been gone for some time, and they would not be able to access such confidential information in the capital.

The Lu Linlang siblings he remembered were now heading south under the escort of the escort agency.

The further south the carriage went, the more they could feel the difference between the north and the south. Sometimes they were traveling among the mountains, and sometimes they were passing by the bustling provincial capital.

Although the people's lives have become harder, they can still be with their families and there is still hope for the future.

A year later, the bandits' iron hooves were about to set foot on this land and began their massacre. People fled south one after another, and even the nobles could not escape.

Looking at her younger brothers who were sitting in the car and talking, Lu Linlang couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had received the original owner's memories of her previous life, so she didn't have to flee in a hurry a year later.

However, she was unwilling to watch the land being trampled on with her memories, so she wrote a letter in advance and asked someone to pass it to the prefect.

This kind of thing was too bizarre, so she could only list the original owner's experiences in the previous life to remind the prefect that if he could make preparations early, the situation of great suffering could be avoided.

No matter what, the people are innocent, facing disasters, and are the most vulnerable.

She wasn't sure whether the events of her previous life would change because of her time travel, but she had to take precautions.

"Sister, what are you thinking about? I just asked the uncle from the escort agency, and he said that if we walk for another half a month and cross the largest river, we will reach Hezhou."

Lu Zhan ran over and waved his palm in front of Lu Linlang.

"Another half a month?" Lu Linlang was really not used to the transportation methods used by the ancients. If it were modern times, a flight would only take a few hours, and a high-speed train would also take a day.

"Yes, it's because the weather is good now. We didn't have to make any unnecessary stops along the way. I heard that if we encountered bandits, it would be troublesome. Fortunately, we didn't encounter any."

"I heard that the Regent has already had the bandits in Daqi wiped out. Now, apart from the bandits in the north who are ready to make a move, the people in other places in Daqi live and work in peace and contentment, and no one steals on the streets."

Yun Yi also said that he always had a book in his hand and urged his younger brothers to learn from him. However, Lu Zhan always hated reading and would feel sleepy after reading for a few seconds. Yun Xi, on the other hand, read with him. Yun Can was the same as Lu Zhan. After reading for a while, he would hear snoring.

"The Regent is truly powerful. He's wiped out all the bandits. Uncle, have you ever seen bandits before? Are they all extremely vicious and cruel?"

"Bandits, I hope we don't encounter them." The uncle from the escort agency sighed and didn't dare to tell the truth.

"Have you seen them before? Don't they all have big beards and hold big swords or axes in their hands?" When Lu Zhan heard what he said, he felt that he must have seen bandits before.

"Real bandits kill without blinking an eye, and their goal is money, so they'll do anything to get what they want. We're going to pass a place called Tiger Ridge ahead.

In the past, there were bandits hiding on that mountain. They would watch from the mountain, and if they saw a passing caravan, they would blow a secret signal, and the bandits on the mountain would ambush on both sides of the road in advance.

When they saw people coming, they would roll down rocks to block their way back. Then they would rush down to rob people and take them to the mountains to do hard labor."

"What, are those bandits still here?" The uncle's words scared the children. Their eyes became terrified and they looked towards the mountains and forests ahead.

"It is said that those bandits have been chased away by the government. No one knows where they went. Anyway, they haven't appeared since. There are no bandits on that mountain anymore. Don't worry."

The uncle looked at their frightened expressions and laughed. Only then did they realize that the uncle was just teasing them.

"Sister, it seems that changing into men's clothes was a wise move. Otherwise, if you encounter bandits, wouldn't it be bad?"

"Lu Zhan, please don't scare me. Let's quickly cross Tiger Ridge. I feel a little confused." Yun Yi said uneasily.

"Haha, cousin, you are too timid. If there are really bandits, I will have to sharpen this knife. This is what my father left me. He said that he used this knife to kill enemies before."

When Lu Zhan heard that there were no bandits, he started to show off again.

"Stop! This mountain is mine, this tree is mine. If you want to pass through here, stay, leave some money for passage!"
