Chu Ling looked at Qiu Pingjiang and asked, "Why did Lord Qiu think that Huang Jian is still in Liangzhou now? Or do you have any rumors?"

Qiu Pingjiang looked at the people sitting around him and obviously did not want to say this in public. Zhu Yaohong smiled and said, "Mr. Qiu, you are the only official in the Liangcheng government office now. What do you think is the difference between talking here and talking privately?" Qiu Pingjiang immediately collapsed and said with a bitter face when he heard this, "Princess, generals, if I say it, you will have to save my life."

Chu Ling frowned slightly and said, "I'll say it."

Qiu Pingjiang sighed and said, "Since the generals of Cangyun City beat the people of the Cangyun City away, the Southern Army has also collapsed. Most of them retreated with the people of the Cangyun City, but some of them ran into the mountains and mingled with the bandits. Some of them even fell into the grass." Feng Sibei asked, "What does this have to do with the prefect of Liangzhou?" Qiu Pingjiang said, "It was Lord Huang who led those people. Some people saw Lord Huang heading southwest. At that time, the troops who wanted to retreat were all going east or northeast. Who would run southwest? Didn't they run southwest when they ran there and crashed into the territory of Cangyun City?"

Seeing that Feng Sibei seemed a little disbelief, Qiu Pingjiang hurriedly continued, "This general, don't believe it. The people in the city should know a lot about this. However, no one dares to tell you about it in the air."

"Why is this?" Huang Jingxuan asked in confusion.

Qiu Pingjiang sighed, "Don't look at the lack of people in this city. There are many spies from all sides. If that's the case, maybe I'll lose my head at any time. If not... I don't want to cause trouble." Since he made up his mind to follow Tianqi, he naturally had to submit a letter of fame. Otherwise, even an official like him who had been an official in the Northern Jin Dynasty would be a stain.

Chu Ling nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Please let Lord Qiu turn around and write a list of the whereabouts of the people you know. What does Lord Qiu know about the situation in Liangzhou nowadays?"

Qiu Pingjiang dared to stay in Liangzhou at this time and dared to come to Chu Ling on his own initiative, so he was not as timid and incompetent as he showed. He could ask him more or less, and even if he couldn't call him, he could know where to check or ask him. This made Chu Ling quite satisfied with this person. At least it brought them a lot of convenience.

Asking Qiu Pingjiang to retreat first, Zhu Yaohong said, "Princess, this person is a slippery person."

Chu Ling smiled and said, "In the chaotic world, you can't survive without being smooth. Please check his background."

Huang Jingxuan nodded and said yes, Feng Sibei frowned and said, "Princess, that Huang Jian..." Chu Ling said, "Please look at General Xiao, but I think no matter how brave he is, he will not be able to blatantly raise troops to counterattack Liangcheng, right? Let someone find out the situation first, and the situation in Liangzhou will be reported as soon as possible." Seeing Chu Ling's expression awesome, Zhu Yaohong asked, "What are the princesses worried about?"

Chu Ling frowned and said, "If these talents come to drag us back when the people of the Clan come back, it will be troublesome."

"Does the princess want to get rid of them first?"

Chu Ling said, "If they know the truth, if they are tactful, they can keep the people of the Clan for the time being, but if they don't know how to raise their heads, they can only eliminate the hidden dangers first." Zhu Yaohong and Feng Sibei looked at each other and nodded in unison. Anyway, neither the Southern Army nor the bandits were good people, and they would not be able to do anything if they wanted to kill them.

As soon as the army arrived in Liangzhou, the affairs were busy, and everyone talked for a while and then got up to do their own business. Chu Ling walked in the backyard of the government office, and the entire government office was empty and seemed very quiet.

"Princess, princess!" Yu Nishang rushed over with the man. Chu Ling raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Nishang? Didn't you let you have a good rest? Why are you here?" Before he arrived in Liangzhou, Yu Nishang looked dying. How old is it? Yu Nishang smiled and said, "Sixth brother said, I have to take good care of the princess and take care of the princess for some trivial matters. Now Sister Wanfeng and Sister Bailu are not by the princess' side, how can I be lazy?"

Chu Ling smiled and shook her head and said, "There is no need to force yourself so much. Your body is important. I just need to tell others to do anything."

Yu Nishang shook her head and said, "That won't be true. Everyone else has to go to fight to kill the enemy. I am the only idle person. How can they let them worry about these trivial matters again? Princess, don't worry, I can do it well. Mr. Huang, the guard of the government office, has already gone to arrange the matter. I asked Lord Qiu and trained some honest and reliable people to send them. The princess's yard has also been cleaned up. Princess, don't worry, your yard is all our own people, which is very safe."

Chu Ling smiled and said, "I think very thoughtful."

Yu Nishang said happily, "Does the princess have any instructions?"

Chu Ling thought for a while and said, "I heard that you have helped settle the score in Linjiang City over the past few months, which makes General Zhao highly appreciated? If you have time, please help me calculate the population of Liangcheng and the tax and expenditures of the government office in the past two years.

Yu Nishang's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, princess, I will definitely do it!"

"Well." Chu Ling nodded and smiled at the girl who was energetic in front of her. Since she came with Yu Nishang, she naturally would not bring her fun. When she was in Pingjing, Huan Yu told her several times that Yu Nishang made excuses and refused to return to Pingjing, and she had been living in Linjiang City for many years. Obviously, she planned to refuse marriage to the end. Since her sister refused to marry and take care of her husband and children like an ordinary lady, it would be better to learn more about her ability to survive. Please don't be polite, and practice Yu Nishang well. It is best to be so tough that she can't stand it and go back to Pingjing.

Judging from Yu Nishang's current appearance, Mr. Huan Yu's expectations are probably going to be disappointed.

Even in troubled times, life will still be lived. Even if the people of Liangcheng are afraid of the sudden arrival of troops, they cannot hide at home and not come out. Moreover, seeing that the army did not enter the city or invade the residents in the city, the next day there were more people on the streets. Compared with Runzhou and other places, the people of Liangzhou, who have been a barren land near the northwest, have not had such deep feelings for Tianqi or the Northern Jin Dynasty to be in power. However, when the Northern Jin people were in Liangzhou, their lives were indeed difficult, so now the people of the Clan have been beaten away and they have some hope in their hearts.

However, it was unexpected that the general who led the army was a woman. This news spread throughout Liangcheng as early as last night. Not only was the leader a woman, but there were also many women in the army carrying weapons, looking like people in the army. The natural difference between men and women made the more fierce and martial the place, the less they took women seriously. Therefore, seeing that the leader was actually a woman, the people in Liangcheng could not react.

Chu Ling took Yu Nishang and Duan Yun out for breakfast early in the morning. This time, except for Xiao Shi, Feng Sibei, Huang Jingxuan, Shangguan Yunru, a few young people, who came with her, Duan Yun, were the only scholars. Zhao Jilin was left in Linjiang City to follow Zhao Bo'an. Li Dan is still in Pingjing now, and after handling Pingjing's affairs in a while, he will go to meet with Zheng Luo and others. But even so, after all, Chu Ling took away most of his elites. After all, there is not enough talent.

Sitting by the small stall on the side of the road, Chu Ling sighed helplessly.

Duan Yun glanced at her and said, "Why are you sighing?"

Yu Nishang laughed in a low voice and said, "The princess must have sighed because she felt that there was not enough manpower."

Chu Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her. Yu Nishang dragged her chin and said with a smile, "Princess, otherwise call Sister A Duo and Sister Wanfeng, so everyone will be more lively."

Chu Ling was speechless, "Do you think they are bricks? You can move wherever you are missing? Your sister Aduo now takes care of most of the matters in Xinzhou and Runzhou, and we still rely on her to support you. Wanfeng has more things, so where can we survive?" Yu Nishang blinked and said, "So, princess, you only have me now. Don't dislike me." Chu Ling raised her hand helplessly and knocked on her forehead, saying, "How dare I dislike Miss Yu."

Duan Yun smiled and said, "It's really hard to have Nishang take care of so many chores by himself. If you don't dislike it, you can do some of it for you."

Yu Nishang shook her head and said, "Forget it, my cousin is a military advisor now, why are you so troubled? But we really lack people. Princess, can we ask the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works to borrow some people?"

Chu Ling was very interested, "What do you think?"

Yu Nishang said for granted, "Aren't the adults of the Ministry of Revenue very good at filing accounts? And the Ministry of Works, aren't they very good at making things? I'm short of accounting and craftsmen."

Chu Ling and Duan Yun looked at each other and felt helpless. Chu Ling smiled and said, "It's a good idea, you can consider it." But it's not the adults of the Ministry of Revenue, but the minor officials below. Yu Nishang said with satisfaction, "That's good. We work so hard in the north, but they are drinking tea safely in Pingjing. How bad is it."

Chu Ling nodded seriously this time, "If you make sense, you will write a letter to Lord Shangguan when he turns around and ask him to select officials from the six ministries to go north." To arrest the strong men, naturally, we cannot just catch the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works. Of course, we must have to eat the rain and dew. As for what those people can do when they come, some things are for them to do.

Chu Ling used to think that those literary scholars were purely dragging their feet, and although there were also some in the army, there were not many. Now I figured it out that they were going to fight, but they didn’t fight every day. And there were always people who fought to manage the place, right? She couldn’t manage the place while fighting, and she didn’t have three heads and eight hands.

The three of them sat on the street stall drinking Liangzhou's unique broth and eating sesame cakes for breakfast and did not avoid people, so they naturally attracted the attention of the people. At first, no one dared to approach, but later they found that except for the three of them, there were two men, two women, four guards sitting at the table, there were no one else sitting at the table. But they gradually became bolder. In a short while, the small breakfast stall was already full. The stall owner had not had such a good business for about a long time, and even forgot to greet the guests in a hurry.

There were more and more people around him, and Chu Ling and others naturally would not notice it, but they didn't care.

Seeing that the three of them were about to finish their meal, someone finally came over, "I wonder if the girl is... the leader of the Apocalypse Imperial Army?"

Chu Ling turned around and looked at the man. He was a tall middle-aged man in his early forties. The man was wearing a thick fur and was sophisticated that he didn't look like an ordinary person. Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Don't you know who I am?"

This question is strange. Although the Princess Shenyou is famous all over the world, not everyone knows it. Moreover, Liangzhou is located in a remote place, and for ordinary people, they may not know that the Apocalypse Imperial Army went north and led the troops. However, ordinary people do not know that the person in front of him does not look like an ordinary person.

The man's face froze, he looked around with a warning and said, "Miss is joking."

Chu Ling waved his hand and said, "If you don't know, don't know, then you go and talk to me if you know."

The man looked at Chu Ling turning around and continuing to eat for a moment and was in a dilemma. He was stunned for a while before he realized that he had no intention of paying attention to him, so he had to bow and say, "Let Your Highness laugh, Your Highness goes out for a tour in a very small way, and I think the princess..."

"Who said I went on a tour in a private outfit?" Although she was not as solemn as the princess's court uniform, she was not so shameful, right?

"..." Can this princess Shenyou speak well?

Duan Yun next to him coughed lightly and asked, "Who is your master? What's the matter with looking for the princess?" The man looked at Duan Yun hesitantly, as if he wanted to confirm his identity. Chu Ling calmly said, "Military advisor, tell him if you have something to do."

"This..." the man frowned, obviously not satisfied with Chu Ling's casual attitude.

Duan Yun smiled and said, "The princess has something to do. If this gentleman has something to do, why don't you follow me first?"

The man glanced at Chu Ling, and lowered his voice and said, "Xia Qi, deputy commander of the Southern Army of Liangzhou, I want to talk to the princess for some things."

Duan Yun was not surprised by his identity and asked, "How many deputy commanders are there in the Southern Army of Liangzhou?"

Xia Qidao "Three."

"How many are still alive?" Duan Yun continued to ask, and Chu Ling continued to eat.

Xia Qi's voice was slightly deeper, "Two."

"Where is the one who is still alive?"

Xia Qi's eyes were slightly dark, "What does young master mean?"

Duan Yun touched his chin and said, "You dare to choose to meet the princess in this place, I guess you have any support?" Xia Qi laughed dryly, "Young Master is joking."

"What if we kill you here?" Duan Yun asked curiously.

Xia Qi's face was slightly dark, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Southern Army, who is still in Liangzhou, will attack Liangcheng immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ling finally looked back at him and said, "The defeated general who was beaten by Cangyun's army and fled in panic, dare to attack Liangcheng at this time? Or... do you think that if you can't defeat Cangyun's army, you can beat Shenyou army?" Xia Qi said coldly, "The princess did not immediately order the general to be killed. Isn't it just a matter of concern? The princess is naturally what Xia relies on. Do you think so?"

Chu Ling slowly put down the spoon in his hand and said, "You are thinking too much. I didn't order you to kill you immediately. I was just a little curious."

Xia Qi took a step back and stared at Chu Ling vigilantly, "Now the princess is curious?"

Chu Ling said, "Where is Huang Jian?"

Xia Qi sneered, "I don't know."

Chu Ling gestured behind her, and the four guards who had already stood up from behind immediately surrounded Xia Qi.

At the same time, some people stood up at the tables around who were originally having meals and stared at Chu Ling and others with timidity. It was obvious that these people were Xia Qi's people. As for the unlucky real customers, they had already trembled and rolled away like the stall owner. Seeing this, Yu Nishang hurriedly approached Chu Ling and said sadly, "Princess, why didn't you say this danger earlier?"

Chu Ling said, "I said, you have to come with me."

Yu Nishang rolled her eyes and said lightly that the uneasiness outside is a reminder?

"Now...what should I do now?" Yu Nishang asked in a low voice.

Chu Ling said, "If you are afraid, hide."

Yu Nishang was not embarrassed at all, and squatted down and hid under the table, making Duan Yun next to him twitch. Is this the eldest daughter trained by the Yu family?

Seeing that Chu Ling was not giving face at all, those people naturally did not dare to be polite, so they immediately greeted everyone. Chu Ling reached out and pulled Duan Yun to his side, "Cousin, be careful."

Duan Yun nodded calmly. Although he didn't know how to do Kung Fu, he didn't worry about seeing many big scenes in recent years. He still had Kung Fu patted Yu Nishang's head and asked, "Why do you have to make such a big noise when you catch them?"

Chu Ling smiled and said, "It's just for others to see."

Squinted slightly and saw Xia Qi who had left the crowd without feeling silence, Chu Ling raised his hand and pulled out the wooden chopsticks from the chopsticks on the table and shot towards Xia Qi. Xia Qi had already withdrawn from the crowd and turned around and wanted to escape, but when he heard the wind behind him, he was shocked and rolled away to avoid it, but he didn't expect that after he had just moved, he whistled a few times, and the last chopstick hit his leg. Xia Qi felt a piercing pain in his left leg and fell to the ground. The next moment, several people rushed out of the street and put the knife on his neck. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Xia Qi no longer struggled and let others pull him up from the ground.

At the other window of the street, someone was watching this scene from a high place.

Seeing that Xia Qi was caught, the man immediately closed the window and turned around and sat opposite him and smiled, "I didn't expect that this Princess Shenyou was such an impulsive reckless man."

The person sitting at the table whispered, "It's better to be cautious. Princess Shenyou can take charge of the Apocalypse court because she looks good."

"Don't forget that her husband is Jun Wuhuan." Jun Wuhuan and Yan Fengxiao are the same person. With such a person behind his back, what can the princess Shenyou want to do?
