Chapter 193: Beautiful Ruoshui City, Peach Blossom Land on Earth
Xiao Bi felt a little proud in her heart.
It was her idea to send people to Xiangyang County to search Yang Pang's house.
Originally I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect that it actually played a key role.
"Then did Mrs. Chen confess?" she asked.
Eunuch Xiaonian twirled his fingers: "On the second day after she and Governor Teng entered the capital, I set off for Yiyang County."
Xiao Bi pouted, it was so appetizing!
Speaking of Hua Hou's cousin Chen Qingli, she couldn't help but think of Ji Fuling again.
The vast majority of women in the world are kind-hearted, otherwise there would be no such thing as "women's kindness".
But once a woman's heart becomes cruel, she is no less cruel than a man.
How about saying "The needle behind the wasp's tail is the most poisonous to a woman's heart"?
Because Ji Fubing failed to control the power of Ruoshui City, she hated City Lord Chunyu and Han Yan and his wife, and even did not hesitate to give Han Yan such a strange poison as Tianmu Tears.
Chen Qingli was angry with Huahou and his wife because he failed to marry a nobleman, so he spent a lot of money to kidnap Brother Qinghan.
Their ambitions vary from big to small, and their thoughts and methods are equally vicious.
Xiao Bi shook her head vigorously, not to think about such nonsense!
"Xiao Nian, is this your first time leaving the capital?"
"The princess is really a noble person who forgets things. Every year she has to accompany her on the autumn hunt. She has been there seven or eight times."
“Tch—” Xiao Bi said with a smile: “I’m so impressed with you that Qiu Shou has the nerve to say it!
I hang around my brother-in-law all day long, what's the difference between the paddock and the palace?"
Eunuch Xiaonian laughed bitterly and said: "Princess, please don't make fun of me. I was born in the capital. When I was young, my family was poor. How could I have the opportunity to leave the capital?"
Later, when I entered the palace and learned the rules and served my master, I had no chance."
Xiao Bi smiled and said: "I'm not making fun of you, I mean it's a rare opportunity. How about we have a few days of fun together in Ruoshui City?"
Eunuch Xiaonian thought for a while and felt a little embarrassed: "Your idea is good, but this weak water city is full of water, and I am afraid..."
"Afraid of seasickness?"
"I'm a little scared."
"Don't worry, I heard people say that people who get seasick won't get sick the second time.
At worst, I'll ask Lord Chunyu to prepare some medicine for you. His medical skills are very good, so I guarantee that nothing will happen to you."
Father-in-law Xiaonian couldn't bear to offend her, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Well, anyway, Mr. Liu and his servants' official business has nothing to do with the servants, so they just followed the wishes of the princess."
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Bi returned to the living room again.
Mr. Liu was discussing with Huan Yu and others about negotiating with Jin Guo. When he saw Xiao Pei coming, he asked her for her opinion.
"Princess, although the Wei Dynasty has no plans to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin, the impact of kidnapping the boy is really bad, and we must not let it go."
Xiao Bi said: "Of course we can't give up, otherwise the whole Jin Kingdom will think that Wei is easy to bully, and will it become even more aggressive in the future?
It’s just that this matter is not something you and I can decide on our own, it’s up to His Majesty to decide what to do.”
Mr. Liu said: "What the Princess said is absolutely true. I will report this matter to Your Majesty as soon as possible."
Xiao Bi said: "Brother Huan and I are not officials in the court, so you can discuss this matter with Mr. Lu.
As for those boys, please ask Lord Laolu to send them back to Dawei, and they will be handed over to their parents."
Master Liu and Master Lu together should be.
As long as he is not in his position and does not seek political advice, Xiao Bi really does not intend to interfere with this matter.
First, I don’t want people to see Da Wei’s jokes.
If the Queen's sister comes forward to negotiate with Jin State, it will definitely make people think that Wei has no one to use.
Moreover, she has no experience in dealings between countries. If she is not careful, she will fall into someone else's trap and harm the Wei Dynasty.
The most valuable thing about a person is that she has self-awareness, and she never shows off in areas she is not good at.
The second is that he does not want to deal with the Jin Kingdom royal family.
What the hell are those things? I feel upset just hearing their names, let alone negotiating with them.
Third, naturally I want to relax and get to know the place Weushui City.
Ruoshui City has been independent from the Three Kingdoms for more than a hundred years, and the people can still live in such a stable and prosperous life. She always wants to see why.
※※※※
In the next few days, Xiao Huanyu and other seven people visited Ruoshui City carefully.
While boating among the lotus leaves, young father-in-law held a large handful of lotus flowers in his hands and smiled so hard that his teeth almost disappeared.
Xiao Bi couldn't stand his silly look and said to Huan Yu: "Ruoshui City is really a good place. I have known Xiaonian for so long and I have never seen him so happy."
Huan Yu said: "The reason why Eunuch Xiaonian is so happy has nothing to do with Ruoshui City."
Xiao Bi stretched out her hand to splash the cool lake water and said with a smile: "This is really disappointing. Who doesn't know why he is happy?
Besides, I don’t believe you don’t like Ruoshui City at all.”
Huan Yu smiled and said: "The scenery of Ruoshui City is so beautiful that it really makes people forget to leave.
But the most attractive thing here is not the scenery, but the tranquility and tranquility here.
Do you still remember what we said by the river on Dragon Boat Festival?"
Xiao Bi said: "Remember, we discussed how many troops there are in Ruoshui City.
You said that the population of Ruoshui City is only a few hundred thousand. Leaving aside the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are at most a hundred thousand people in the prime of life.
Excluding those who cultivate the fields and sell goods, the number of elite soldiers in the city will not exceed 50,000.
And I think that since the women here can be officials, they can also join the army, so the number of elite soldiers in the city should be between 80,000 and 100,000."
The smile in Huan Yu's eyes grew brighter: "Now that we have a detailed understanding of Ruoshui City, do you still think so?"
Xiao Bi fell back and lay on the deck.
After getting to know Ruoshui City in detail, would she still think so?
Of course not.
In the past, she thought that the reason why Ruoshui City could be independent from the Three Kingdoms for more than a hundred years was first of all because the three kingdoms of Wei, Li, and Jin were wary of each other and did not dare to attack Ruoshui City easily.
Moreover, there must be a strong army in the city so that foreign enemies dare not covet it.
But after really getting to know Ruoshui City in depth, she realized that the situation here was completely different from what she had imagined before.
On weekdays, Weoshui City is like a paradise on earth, and people living here rarely care about what is going on outside.
Each of them works hard, and each of them does their best to contribute to Ruoshui City. Everyone has a satisfied smile on their face.
But after getting to know them more deeply, I discovered that these seemingly gentle and kind-hearted people, regardless of gender, can all turn into brave soldiers at critical moments.
Every household has weapons, and when a foreign enemy invades, everyone knows what role they should play.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians and hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
