King Wei wrote the letter and tied it to the pigeon's leg. He watched it soar into the sky like an arrow from the string and quickly disappear into the sky before he turned around.
The moment he turned around, Little Phoenix chased after him.
I don’t know if pigeons have a psychological shadow area. If so, it must be quite large.
Because, it was forced to brake suddenly in the air, and the little phoenix spreading its wings blocked the way. The phoenix eyes were fierce, and the spread wings were almost everywhere. Before it could react, the pigeon's eyes turned black and it was trapped in the phoenix.
Between the wings.
I couldn't even make a sound.
It was the fourth day that Yuwen Zelan came to Jiangbei Mansion. During these four days, King Wei had been taking Yuwen Zelan and An Zhi around Jiangbei Mansion to learn about the local customs, the quality of life of the people here, and the war in the border town.
their hard work.
I also saw the mountains and scenery of Jiangbei Prefecture.
For the first two days, Anzhi could still follow them, but later on, because she had to travel too many places in one day, her body couldn't bear it, so she stopped following them.
Even Princess An admired Yuwen Zelan. Her physical strength was so good that she didn't feel tired at all after running down the mountain all day and returning to the mansion.
But King Wei, who ran with him, looked tired.
On the evening of the fourth day, I received a letter from Yu Wenhao in Beijing.
King An looked at it first, then handed it to King Wei and said, "Lao Wu knows."
King Wei took it over and unfolded it. Before he even read it, he was a little surprised, "Is it so long?"
In the letter, Lao Wu said that he had allowed Qi Huo to take Gua Zier to Jiangbei Mansion to see the city. He also made a trip to Ruodu City and lived in Ruodu City for a few months. After all, it was her fiefdom and he wanted her to be familiar with Ruodu City.
She has a sense of belonging, so she specifically explained in the letter that if she likes to do anything, let her do it without interfering too much. You might as well let her have an adventure, and don't be too pampered.
King Wei felt that something was wrong, because with Lao Wu's urinary temperament, how could he possibly say such things as letting his daughter have adventures and not to coddle her? He himself was so pampered that he would not bear to endure hardships or harsh words.
King An noticed his doubts and said: "It is indeed Lao Wu's handwriting, the handwriting is... average."
"That's not ordinary, that's ugly!" King Wei said without mercy.
But I also agree with what he said, it is indeed Lao Wu's handwriting.
Yu Wen Zelan explained their doubts and said: "Because my master will protect me secretly, dad is very relieved. He just let me practice."
"Really? Then where is your master? Why don't you come out and ask your uncle to see him?" King Wei said.
Yu Wen Zelan shook his head and said: "Master has a weird temper. He never likes to deal with others and only likes to act secretly. He has doted on me for many years and will not let me have real adventures. Therefore, uncle and aunt can rest assured."
She said this, and Lao Wu's letter also stated this, so there should be no problem.
They had all met her master, Qihuo. He was indeed a very strange person, and not everyone could understand what he said, but he had helped Beitang on the battlefield, so he was trustworthy.
In addition, Guazi'er is his disciple, so he shouldn't watch his disciple take risks. If he goes to Ruodu City, he will protect him secretly.
To put it another step back, even if Qihuo did not protect her secretly, and the two of them were accompanying her, nothing would happen to her niece. Anyway, they planned to go to Ruodu City before Guazier came.
Now that it’s decided, prepare to leave the next day.
An Zhi wanted to go along at first, but Yuwen Zelan refused to let her go, saying that she had not practiced martial arts and would be tired on the road, so she stopped her.
An Zhi felt that there was nothing interesting to see in Ruodu City. She had always heard from her father that it was very chaotic and dangerous there, and she only wanted to go there to accompany her sister. Now that her sister said that she did not need to accompany her, she naturally did not force herself to go.
Princess An got up in the middle of the night and got busy, preparing snacks for them on the road. This place is no different from the capital, where you can buy delicious food at any time, but not here.
As soon as it dawned, everyone set off.
King Wei originally prepared a carriage, but Yuwen Zelan said that her riding skills were also very good and she could ride a horse.
The King of Wei also agreed, because there were many mountains and few official roads along the way, so riding a horse was more convenient than riding a carriage.
Two princes, a princess, a phoenix, and a few followers set out for Ruodu City.
If the capital is only two hundred miles away from Jiangbei Prefecture, it can be reached in half a day by horseback riding.
On the way, we rested for half an hour and ate some snacks. King Wei also teased the little Phoenix. The little Phoenix behaved very calmly, very much like his master.
However, sometimes when I watch her flying, rising and falling, swooping and circling, I always feel that she has a bad temper.
Just like looking at Xiao Guazi, I think she is quiet and well-behaved, but you can always feel the power hidden in her bones.
Before long, they had arrived at Ruodu City.
Ruodu City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is like a spoon. On the west side are endless mountains. The highest peak is called Ruodu Peak, with an altitude of about two thousand meters.
There are also mountains on the south side, but the mountains are slightly lower and are suitable for planting plants.
The terrain on the east side is very flat and mostly grassland, suitable for grazing.
The mountain on the north side is steeper, called Ruodu Mountain. It is majestic and majestic, like a row of lying giant beasts, cutting off communication with the Kingdom of Jin.
There are rich mineral resources here, which is why the Jin Kingdom moved its capital here, probably to exploit the mineral resources here.
The entire Ruodu City has a population of more than 300,000. Most of the people make a living by raising livestock and growing barley. Ruodu City used to be a horse farm in the Northern Desert, and many war horses were transported back from Ruodu City.
The economy here is very underdeveloped, and it was severely exploited by the Bei Mo court. War horses could not be sold, but were only raised for the court. However, the Bei Mo court was very poor, governed with high pressure, and had mountains of taxes, which made the people here miserable.
If the capital was returned to the Northern Tang Dynasty, it would actually be relatively better, because the Northern Tang court did not collect taxes here. They could spend as much as they earned, plant as much as they could, and eat as much as they could.
The governance in the past ten years has been better than when Ruodu City was just taken. At least the people will no longer resist the Northern Tang court because they know this is an unchangeable fact.
In addition, in recent years, many people from the Northern Tang Dynasty have flocked in and married with local people. Many people have relatives from the Northern Tang Dynasty in their homes, and they love their families, so naturally they do not resent the rule of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
However, in the past two years, due to the troubles caused by the Jin Kingdom and the influx of refugees from several other cities, the situation suddenly became complicated.
Yuwen Zelan rode his horse outside the city and looked at the city gate of Ruodu City. The sun had just shifted a little, but it was still very fierce. The guards at the city gate were male and female, all wearing military uniforms. They were majestic and heroic.
.
This is the first appearance of Ruodu City. Yuwen Zelan closed his eyes and felt the various atmospheres in the city. The first appearance was of the Northern Tang Dynasty, but the mess, rot, stench, complaints, curses, and erosion inside were...
But it truly belongs to Ruodu City.
This is a difficult city.
Yuwen Zelan opened her eyes, and the corners of her lips were dyed with a smile. This was the first battle of her internship in the human world!
Very challenging.
Someone walked over to the city gate. She was a woman, about thirty years old, with wheat-colored skin and a scar on her face. She held her hands up to the two princes, with a look of surprise in her eyes, "King Wei and King An
Come here, why don’t you inform Miss Zhou in advance? So that I can go out to greet you!"
Her tone was not very respectful, or in other words, she was not friendly to King Wei.
