From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1057

The sky in Shenzhou collapsed, and the Jin cavalry came to attack. Everything was developing in the expected direction.

Next, it was time for some basic means.

Zhou Yuan said: "Daichan, take the guards and Wang Xiong and others, appeal to the whole city, organize the people to put out the fire, and clean up the bodies and streets."

"You must take the lead in this matter. Our people have not yet gained trust."

"The Jurchen nobles must stand up to guide public opinion and lead the public's consciousness."

"Later, we will perform a drama in the middle of the city."

Wanyan Daichan let go of Zhou Yuan and slowly stepped back a few steps.

She looked at Zhou Yuan, silent for a long time, and then nodded: "Yes, I will do all this."

She turned and left, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and shouted: "You counted the ordinary people! Are you still human!"

"Why can't you come earlier? Why can't you and Huang Taiji cooperate directly? Why do you have to cause such a tragedy! Hundreds of thousands of lives!"

"You and Huang Taiji are also murderers!"

She shouted at the top of her lungs, as if she wanted to vent everything.

Zhou Yuan looked at her quietly and said slowly: "Cai Ni, follow your master and pay more attention to her."

Cai Ni nodded gently and whispered: "Master... Master is just talking in anger..."

"Go quickly."

Zhou Yuan smiled, then rode on his horse and walked slowly towards the eastern city gate.

It's not that he had nothing to do.

He went east all the way, out of the city gate, looking at the vast wilderness, there was no trace of the enemy, and the traces on the ground were so messy that he couldn't tell where the opponent had gone.

He pondered and asked: "Did the cavalry scouts arranged in advance keep an eye on them?"

A guard immediately said: "They have been kept an eye on them, and we can know the movements of the enemy army at any time."

Speaking of this, the man opened his mouth and hesitated: "Marshal, the city... the city wall... has..."

Zhou Yuan frowned, slowly turned his head to look at the Shenzhou city wall, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

On the ancient mottled city wall, there was a line of big characters written: "Zhou Yuan! I'll wait for you in Jianzhou!"

It was written in blood, and the blood had dried, so that the characters were black, and each stroke looked particularly hideous.

Zhou Yuan frowned and looked at the words on the wall quietly without saying a word.

It was unknown how long it had been before he said lightly: "When Guan Lu arrives in Shenzhou, let him come to see me directly."

A joking voice came from a distance: "Yo! It seems that the Grand Marshal has met his match this time!"

Qu Ling rode a horse leisurely, followed by a group of masters such as Song Shanzi. This was one of the reasons why she dared to go out of the pass. At least her basic safety would not be a problem.

Zhou Yuan said, "You look good. Aren't you busy recently?"

Qu Ling got off the horse, walked towards him, hugged Zhou Yuan, and smiled, "I'm very busy, but it doesn't affect my happiness to see you again."

"The food is ready. You give an order and I can let the caravan transfer the food."

"This is the first time for me to do such a loss-making business. I bought it at a high price and donated it for free. I spent 700,000 or 800,000 taels of silver in one month."

"Seriously, can it be reimbursed? The court should at least compensate me according to the normal market price. I will make up the premium part myself, which is our family's support for the court."

Zhou Yuan said, "In the afternoon... at 12:00 a.m., the food must be delivered to the city."

Qu Ling waved behind him and said, "Master, the food will be delivered to the city at 12:00 a.m.."

Song Shanzi responded and rode away with his men.

Until then, Zhou Yuan replied: "Reimbursement is unrealistic. There is no money in the treasury now. It has been invested in the war."

"If you really can't bear it, I can write you an IOU. I will give you the money when the treasury is sufficient in a few years."

Qu Ling couldn't help laughing and said, "Forget it. I'm not that stingy. I have plenty of ways to make it back. At worst, I can ask His Majesty for the right to contract the construction of the port of Lushunkou."

"I guess after the war, we will slowly start to invest in the construction of these necessary facilities. It will only take two or three years at most."

She has always been smart and thought everything through clearly.

Zhou Yuan took her into the city. Sure enough, Wanyan Daichan was the only support for the Jurchens now. She stood up and quickly organized the remaining people to clean up the streets and repair houses.

Originally, the Jurchens were afraid of the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, but when they found that these soldiers were really helping them, they felt much more relieved.

Zhou Yuan watched all this and whispered, "Daichan said that Huang Taiji and I also counted the civilians, and we are also the murderers of the massacre."

Qu Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "It's a pity that I was not there when she said this, otherwise I would have slapped her twice."

"Have they, the Jurchens, done less massacres? Who can the 200,000 innocent souls in Jizhou go to for justice? Now it's their turn, she can't stand it? Suddenly become noble? Damn cheap! "

At the end, Qu Ling spit on the ground and snorted: "Why am I not in a bad mood? It's because I don't sympathize with her at all!"

Zhou Yuan glared at her unhappily and said: "Can you be a little more ladylike? You can scold me, but don't spit."

Qu Ling said: "You have never spit? Have you ever had spit in your mouth? If not, I will spit in your mouth."

"Disgusting."

Zhou Yuan pouted, and then said: "But after all, the dead are civilians. In the war between the two tribes, civilians are innocent and they did not participate in anything."

Qu Ling couldn't help but sneered: "What does that have to do with you? You have been saving civilians all along, and you have done a good job. Do you have to take the blame for every death in every place? No matter how strong your shoulders are, you can't bear this burden!"

"I advise you not to carry these inexplicable things on your shoulders. That's very stupid. "

Zhou Yuan said: "Then what should I carry on my shoulders?"

Qu Ling thought for a moment and said: "For example, my long legs. I like this posture."

She can really drive the car on any broken road. Zhou Yuan is ashamed of himself.

Perhaps she saw that Zhou Yuan was in a bad mood, she hugged Zhou Yuan and said: "Don't think too much. It's not your fault. It's the fault of the times at most."

"Since you can't stand it, just kill the enemy and peace will come naturally."

"I'm just responsible for giving you an idea. Anyway, I don't know how to fight. You can do it yourself."

"I won't participate in the acting in the afternoon. I want to go see Sister Ningyue. I'm worried about her."

After speaking, she kissed Zhou Yuan on the face and rode away quickly.

Zhou Yuan said: "Do you want to send a team of cavalry to protect you?"

"Protect a fart, I have bodyguards! "

Qu Ling waved her hand and left gracefully.

Looking at her back, Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing. Qu Ling's free and easy and soberness always brought him positive energy.

"Let's go, Dai Si, let's go to sleep. We still have to perform in the afternoon."

Zhou Yuan said to Dai Si.

Dai Si said weakly: "I'm about to vomit and collapse. Don't take the opportunity to mess with me, otherwise I will die."

Why does this sound so exciting? Damn Qu Ling, she has led me astray.

"Take a rest. When Liu Fang and the others arrive, the battle will really begin."

He rubbed his temples and sighed softly.
