MTL - That Person In That River and Lake-Chapter 35 Grass Valley

  Chapter 35 Grass Valley

  The Royal Court of Beimo is different from the Xia Kingdom. They are nomadic people, and their combat power alone far exceeds that of the Xia Kingdom. However, most of them are cavalry, and they are powerful on the frontal battlefield.

Gu Qingci is not worried that the Beimo Royal Court will suddenly attack the Xia Kingdom, because the Xia Kingdom itself can be said to be the most powerful country in the world, and coupled with the cultivation of health and rest over the years, it has already recovered its strength. As long as the family is not looking for death, it is impossible to go to war in all directions.

   What really worries Gu Qingci is the habits of Beimo Royal Court.

This year's weather is extremely cold, and even Langya County is covered with heavy snow, not to mention the situation in Beimo Wangting, which is still to the north, is even worse. Come to the border of Xia Kingdom to fight grass valley.

   Hitting the Grass Valley is a popular term. To put it simply, it means burning, killing and looting at the border, and then slapping the **** and leaving. Judging from the experience of the past years, most of the imperial court chose to turn a blind eye and close one eye, and nothing major would happen anyway.

But Gu Qingci is different. His Changling County is on the border, so it must be the first choice to fight grass valleys. At that time, I don’t know how many people will suffer. Although he is not a saint, as a county parent official, he does Don't see but don't see, hear but don't hear.

In the entire Changling County, the person who knows Gu Qingci best is Ma Shilian. Although the current Gu Qingci is not the previous Gu Qingci, the bottom line of the two is actually almost the same, but the current Gu Qingci is more tactful and has more means, so However, Ma Shilian still understands Gu Qingci.

  So, when Ma Shilian heard Gu Qingci's arrangement, he immediately reacted and said, "Master County, are you worried that people from Beimo will come to Changling County to fight grass?"

Gu Qingci nodded, and said: "There are not many contacts between Beimo Wangting and Xia Guo, and during the time when this county came to Changling County, I have never seen Beimo people come. Now that it is winter, Beimo People just showed up, they must have come to make an outpost."

Ma Shilian was about to speak, when a Dian Shi in the county government suddenly said: "My lord, the lower officials feel that this matter still needs to be discussed. Our county government has no ability to stop the people from Beimo, and the court has always acquiesced in this matter." We don't need to..."

   "Boom"

  Gu Qingci suddenly slapped the table with his palm, and the sandalwood table suddenly fell apart, and the loud noise shocked everyone in the meeting hall.

Gu Qingci stood up slowly, looked around, with a cold light in his eyes, and said coldly: "Aside from Zhao Dianshi, who else thinks that the people should not be protected, and who can let the county treat the people with no conscience?" Life and death don't matter?"

Today, Gu Qingci's power in Changling County is invincible, and the power of the county government is firmly held by him alone, so that the rest of the county government has no chance to breathe. It cast a shadow over the hearts of other people in the county government, and what's more, they have already started to break out in a cold sweat.

  Seeing that no one spoke, Gu Qingci slowly walked up to Zhao Dianshi, and said coldly, "Zhao Dianshi, what do you say?"

In fact, the moment Gu Qingci slapped the table, Zhao Dianshi already regretted it in his heart. It was all because of Gu Qingci's usual gentlemanly and gentle appearance, which made him forget the current status of the county lord. It was fought with a knife and a sword, and it was even more eloquent in the county government. How could he object?

   Moreover, Gu Qingci's comment on loving the people like a son is not groundless. This is obvious to all. Zhao Dianshi stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly said: "My lord... my lord, I have no other opinions, and I will obey your orders!"

Gu Qingci gave Zhao Dianshi a cold look, turned around and said slowly: "I, Gu Qingci, reiterate today that if I am not in my position, I will not pursue my own affairs, but if I am in my position, I will definitely seek my own affairs. I will serve as an official, regardless of the size of the official position. , we must put the people first!"

The chief officials of the county government, including the more familiar Pang Shilong and Ma Shilian, looked at Gu Qingci's eyes and expressed respect. This was from the heart, and many people were like this. They were unwilling to do that. A person who dares to be the first in the world, or thinks this kind of person is stupid, but it does not prevent them from admiring that kind of person.

These people are considered adults in Changling County, but those officers are different. They are all people at the bottom. They don't understand politics. They only know whether the officials are doing things for the people. After hearing Gu Qingci's words, the guards all straightened their backs. Many of their relatives are not in the city.

Gu Qingci's attitude now undoubtedly gave them a reassurance. Even the eyes of Gu Qingci have been put on reverence. Before saying that, many servants listened to Gu Qingci due to the situation. I agree with Gu Qing's resignation.

   "The county lord makes orders for the people, and the lower officials should obey the arrangements!"

   Ma Shilian is a qualified subordinate, so he immediately stood up and began to compliment him loudly.

"exactly…"

   "Follow your lord's order!"

   "..."

  Others immediately followed and expressed their opinions one after another.

  Gu Qingci nodded slightly, and began to assign tasks. At the same time, the old man Yan in the conference hall had been staring at Gu Qingci closely, with a smile on his face and a gleam in his eyes.

  …

   Qiling Station.

The princess Tang Yun and the sword riddle Qin Keqing are eating in a carriage. Among them, one is a person who has received the highest etiquette education since childhood. When eating, he will pay attention to the rules without saying a word, while the other is a sword riddle who only knows how to practice swords. Well, when no one asked her, she wouldn't speak, even if someone asked her, she might not necessarily speak.

   On the contrary, the soldiers not far away were bragging in twos and threes. In this snow-covered mountains and rivers, they were a little bit popular, and they didn't seem so quiet, but in the carriage, it was too silent.

   "Report!"

At this time, a scout suddenly ran over, running very fast, and his footprints landed on the snow, splashing a lot of flying, "Report, Princess Qi, a group of northern desert troops appeared fifteen miles ahead." !"

   Tang Yun, who was eating, was startled slightly, raised the curtain of the car, looked at the scouts, and asked, "How many people are there, is there any other ambush?"

  The scout lowered his head and reported, "There are about five hundred people, all of whom are cavalry. However, their target does not seem to be you, Your Highness the Princess."

   Tang Yun frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

  The scout said: "They rushed towards a village there, and the subordinates suspected that they were here to fight the grass valley, and they happened to appear there."

   "Hit the Grass Valley!" Tang Yun pondered for a while, then lowered the car curtain, and a cold voice came out: "All listen to the order, set off immediately, and go another way!"

   "Aren't you going to save those people?"
