On the way back, Ning Xi'er again grabbed Zheng Ye for practical training.
Zheng Ye was clearly distracted, and only after Ning Xi'er scolded him did he refocus.
The helicopter landed on a hillside not far from the desolate landscape and the nearest county town, Pingyuan.
Ning Xi'er stored the helicopter in her spatial storage and, together with Zheng Ye, rode two fast horses to Pingyuan.
Xie Zhun and his group were still exiled criminals, so it wasn't easy for them to come out and gather information.
Relying on Wei Xunfang and Qin Yuan, or having the village chief go out to inquire, is not as convenient as Ning Xi'er.
Before leaving the desolate land, I already learned that Xue Lin was about to be transferred to Pingyuan...
Ning Xi'er guessed that if Liao Yueming knew, he would definitely not remain indifferent.
The initial purpose of building the brewery in Yongning was both to help the local people and to support Xue Lin...
Now that Xue Lin is gone, Liao Yueming's business empire will likely shift as well...
As they approached the city gate, Ning Xi'er stored the horses and Zheng Ye into her spatial storage...
They stealthily entered the city and headed straight for the county magistrate's office.
On the way there, just like in northern Xinjiang, because of its proximity to the border, there was no curfew on the main streets...
There were many pedestrians, and Ning Xi'er could hear the people's discussions.
Among them were comments on the newly appointed magistrate, Xue Lin.
Ning Xi'er paused and listened for a while; it was all as expected.
The Crown Prince's men have controlled Pingyuan, this small border town, for so long...
Together with ruthless bandits, in order to complete the mission of assassinating Xie Zhun, they were willing to let death row inmates go and organize mountain bandits to carry out the assassination...
His virtue and character are evident from this.
The people under his rule dared not have too many extravagant hopes.
When passersby talked about Xue Lin, few mentioned his benevolent treatment of the people, or his achievements and actions in fighting the plague...
The situation is shrouded in mystery, prompting speculation about who Xue Lin's powerful backer is.
Some say Xue Lin was foolish to transfer troops from such a prime location as Yongning to the border...
Everyone else is striving for higher positions, but he's flowing downhill...
Others say that Xue Lin is wise in disguise, mysteriously pointing towards the desolate region...
The best achievement so far is that Prince Cheng resolved the issue of the desolate region.
Ning Xi'er smiled and dismissed it, feeling rather sorry for Xue Lin...
They haven't had a single good day.
In Yongning, the people were kind and honest, but the terrain was not ideal...
Because on their way into the wasteland, a plague was spread, nearly causing widespread death and destruction...
Now, he's not afraid of trouble and has even volunteered to come to Pingyuan...
However, the people here, having suffered under their predecessor's tyranny, may not necessarily support his administration...
They stealthily passed through the county government office and arrived at the backyard.
The courtyard contained several houses; all the lights in the other houses were off, except for one that was still lit.
The window paper reflected the silhouettes of two people.
Ning Xi'er smiled and quietly approached.
inside the house.
A deep voice sounded, "Still no sound? It's been three days..."
The other voice was slightly softer and sounded very familiar.
"Not yet. I also used carrier pigeons to ask my friends in the capital to help inquire..."
It was the voices of Xue Lin and Liao Yueming.
Sure enough, they reunited.
Xue Lin's voice betrayed his worry, "The official gazettes from the capital haven't arrived this month; I fear this might cause trouble..."
Although Liao Yueming did not participate in court affairs, he had many associates and would keep an eye on them.
Liao Yueming comforted Xue Lin, "Don't worry, sir, the carrier pigeons from the capital should return tomorrow..."
The princess will be alright! Let's just wait patiently!
If the original owner's family was a responsibility that Ning Xi'er had to shoulder...
Xie Zhun is Ning Xi'er, who chose to approach Ning Xi'er in order to avenge the original owner of this body...
But Xue Lin and Liao Yueming were Ning Xi'er's true choices.
As it turns out, Ning Xi'er's judgment was not bad.
Both of them are trustworthy and reliable.
Ning Xi'er's invisibility and spatial location should not be known to too many people for the time being; Ning Xi'er has not revealed herself...
But knowing they had arrived in Pingyuan, he also knew in his heart that they were the bargaining chips in his scheme.
Ning Xi'er stood under the eaves for a while longer.
From their conversation, it was learned that Xue Lin had brought his wife and daughter over.
Liao Yueming's winery in Yongning has been successfully put into operation and has begun to make a profit.
He brought with him ample funds, as well as skilled managers and employees, to facilitate business expansion wherever needed.
Ning Xi'er smiled upon hearing this; it suited her perfectly.
Looking up at the sky, it was completely dark...
Xie Zhun, he should be asleep by now, right?
Suddenly, I felt a strong urge to go home.
He slipped out of the city gate, spurred his horse, and galloped away. He was still a long way from the desolate region when suddenly he spotted a figure...
Suddenly leaping out of the darkness, his expression excited, startled Ning Xi'er and the horse!
