The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Relatively speaking, Ji Bingyan is a sensible girl.

After Jia Daoshi recounted Xiao Rongyu's tragic past, she was no longer so angry.

"Speaking of which, I've also heard that the food on the Green Turban Army's side is really bad. Not only is the rice mixed with bran, but some of it is even mixed with dirt!" Ji Bingyan said with a look of sympathy.

"Who says otherwise, my lord? Then you must cook more delicious food for Rongyu in the future, and cook it every day!" Ji Bingyan said with a sigh.

Who can argue with that? She's a princess, born to be pampered, but others aren't!

Besides, they are also our own people!

"Don't worry, I'm just giving it a try today. I guarantee that everyone will be able to enjoy all kinds of delicious food in the future!" Jia Daoshi said, patting his chest.

Having lived like this for the past six months, Jia Daoshi had long since become a seasoned lover. With a few words of persuasion and reasoning, he quickly made the princess stop crying and start laughing.

Meanwhile, Xiao Rongyu was listening intently to what was happening on the other side.

The final result left her a little disappointed, but the thought of being able to eat such delicious food every day made her too lazy to think about it anymore.

After all, they are people of the martial world, able to take things up and let them go.

"By the way, aren't you supposed to be supervising the construction at this time? How come you have time to come back?" Jia Daoshi asked curiously.

Ji Bingyan was fascinated by the construction of this water conservancy project and went to the construction site every day to supervise the work.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten!"

Ji Bingyan came to her senses after Jia Daoshi said that, and nodded, "That's right, I really did come back this time for something."

"You told me before that you wanted the imperial court to bring grain to provide disaster relief. His Majesty has agreed, and 800,000 dan of grain have been collected from the rice-producing areas in the south. They are on their way here and should arrive tomorrow morning."

Ji Bingyan sounded excited; she had been worried that the Empress would disagree.

"Oh? Disaster relief isn't such an easy task. Whom has His Majesty assigned to be in charge?"

Jia Daoshi was somewhat surprised. The imperial court acted very quickly this time, raising 800,000 dan of grain in just a few days. This also shows that the imperial court was not short of grain; the grain was all stored in the rice-producing region of Jiangnan!

However, once the food supplies were secured, the official in charge of disaster relief was also very important.

Ji Bingyan chuckled, a hint of amusement in her voice: "Guess what? This person is from your hometown!"

"Fellow townsman?" Jia Daoshi was stunned!

When did Jiajia Village produce a high-ranking official?

Could it be Jia An?

Wait a minute, didn't I already drive this kid to the brink of collapse?

Wait... fellow townsman?

Could it be Bao Longxing?

Jia Daoshi was somewhat uncertain: "Is it Bao Longxing, the former magistrate of Yilan County?"

"That's right, it's Judge Bao!"

Ji Bingyan nodded with a smile.

In fact, the reason Bao Longxing was put in charge of this matter was not only because he was a fellow townsman of Jia Daoshi, but also because Bao Longxing had just been promoted from the local area and was a clean stream who had not joined any faction!

Such an official, who has no vested interests with high-ranking officials in the court, is the perfect person to take charge of this matter!

After all, 800,000 dan of grain is no small amount, and it would be easy for someone to embezzle it for themselves.

"Where are Judge Bao and his men now? When will they arrive?"

"We've already reached Lingxi, and we estimate that we'll arrive in Shouchun in about ten days."

Ji Bingyan has been dealing with this matter for the past few days, and Bao Longxing is sending messages via hawk every day.

Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi nodded.

The grain supplies here are being consumed very quickly due to the construction of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. They can only last for another half a month at most before everyone's expenses have to be halved.

Bao Longxing's 800,000 dan of grain was a timely rain!

Once Bao Longxing arrives, the situation here will be stable.

The mysterious mastermind behind the Green Turban Army is unlikely to cause any more trouble.

Moreover, the 15th, just a few days away, is that kid's death day!

After telling Jia Daoshi the news, Ji Bingyan gave him a sweet kiss and then rushed to the construction site.

There was no way around it; Ji Bingyan was originally a career-oriented woman. It was only after meeting Jia Daoshi that she learned to be submissive and dependent. However, when it came to matters of state in the Great Jing Dynasty, she was more concerned than anyone else.

Previously, he managed the flying guillotine; now, he personally oversees the work, carrying the flying guillotine with him.

Of course, Jia Daoshi also had Jia Bing, Chen Long, and the Seven Heroes of Southern Xinjiang supervise the construction on site.

The Dujiangyan Irrigation System is an extremely important water conservancy project that cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. It is a super project that will benefit future generations!

Xiao Rongyu, who was eating, fell silent after hearing their conversation, and put down her bowl and chopsticks again.

Jia Daoshi naturally saw this scene. He smiled, walked over and sat down next to Xiao Rongyu, and then gently took Xiao Rongyu's hand.

“My lady, these things outside have nothing to do with you anymore. Even if he once saved your life, you have done enough for him over the years. From this point of view, you have already done nothing to wrong him. On the contrary, this so-called savior has been deceiving you from the very beginning.”

Jia Daoshi now also wants to resolve the other person's inner conflict as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very detrimental to her martial arts cultivation.

Upon hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Xiao Rongyu sighed slightly.

Jia Daoshi is incredibly powerful and possesses unparalleled wisdom!

The Dujiangyan Irrigation System alone was enough to shake the very foundation of the Green Turban Army!

Perhaps, his defeat was already destined from the moment he turned against his master and Jia Daoshi!

"Alright, let's deal with the hidden problems in your body first. Once the Dujiangyan Irrigation System is completed, I'll take you back to Yilan County. That's a better place."

Jia Daoshi smiled and comforted him for a moment before getting up and leaving.

Ji Bingyan went to supervise the construction, but he couldn't be idle every day. He still needed to pay attention to some details regarding Dujiangyan.

After all, it's impossible to explain everything clearly just by looking at the blueprints!

As Xiao Rongyu watched Jia Daoshi's departing figure, she felt a sense of loss.

She wanted to leave, but where could she go after leaving?

Returning to the Qingjin Army camp that chilled her heart?

Of course this is impossible!

In this vast world, where can she find a safe haven?

It seems... there really aren't any left!

Since things have already come to this, there's no need to think about it too much anymore, right?

Thinking about all these messy things, Xiao Rongyu lost her appetite and put down her chopsticks, walking back to her residence alone.

Xiao Rongyu's movements naturally did not escape Jia Daoshi's notice.

Seeing that Xiao Rongyu showed no intention of leaving, Jia Daoshi smiled.

Although the two were enemies, they now not only had the title of husband and wife, but also the reality of being husband and wife.

Moreover, he had saved her life.

Even if she's still a little uneasy right now, it's only a matter of time before she truly accepts herself.

Time can solve all problems.

Next, we need to deal with the mysterious mastermind who deceived Xiao Rongyu.

At this moment, Jia Daoshi was also very curious: who was this person who could stir up such a storm in the imperial court and the martial arts world?

Even the renowned General Ming Heying was able to establish a connection with him!
