Faced with Zhou Zhiruo's provocation, Zhao Linger just smiled slightly.
She said to herself, "You little slut, we'll see. Although I'm a little older, I'm still beautiful. We have plenty of time."
Zhao Linger has completely let go of the trivial things between herself and Zhou Zhiruo.
She did not seek a quick victory, nor did she seek to crush Zhou Zhiruo.
Just as she had said before, she didn't ask for much, as long as Zhang Wuji could treat her the same way he treated Zhou Zhiruo.
The situation in Xianyang is temporarily stable.
Zhang Wuji could take a short break, but Zhao Linger still had some cleanup work to do.
Last night, when she burned Xianyang, she promised Zhou Zhiruo that if the fire in Xianyang City affected the homes of the people, she would make some compensation.
And now is the most chaotic time in Xianyang City, so it is also the time when she should fulfill her promise.
Zhao Linger used her own manpower to gather together the affected people in Xianyang City.
At the beginning, Zhao Linger thought there would be a lot of people, but in fact, there were less than a thousand people.
In Xianyang city, only more than 200 houses were affected last night.
Zhao Linger was very pleased about this. She had thought it would cost a lot of money and had even made preparations to transfer funds from the south to Xianyang.
But now it seems that it is completely useless. The little pocket money she has on hand can be used to solve these small problems at hand.
Zhao Linger was dressed in snow-white fox fur, looking extremely noble and dignified. Ordinary people would believe her even if they were told that she was the current empress dowager.
Zhao Linger walked with lotus-like steps and came to the front of the disaster-stricken people.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "My fellow citizens, you may have been affected when the leader of the Ming Cult attacked Xianyang last night, but you don't have to worry. We will make corresponding compensation for your destroyed houses."
Zhao Linger's words shocked everyone.
This is the first time I've heard of anyone having to pay compensation after a war.
Looking at the incredible looks of the people in front of her, Zhao Linger was also happy in her heart, "I can win the hearts of the people for Zhang Wuji. At least this little slut Zhou Zhiruo can't do it."
In Zhao Linger's heart, Zhou Zhiruo was just a simple and silly girl who only knew how to fight and kill with Zhang Wuji.
Little do people know that the aftermath is also very important.
Zhao Linger spoke again, "People, Zhang Wuji sent people to investigate last night. Most of the houses you live in are made of earth and wood. The cost of these houses is not very high. It only costs five taels of silver at most to build a house like this. However, Zhang Wuji is very wise. He decided to compensate you with ten taels of silver for each house affected by the fire last night."
All the people present were horrified. It was the first time they had seen someone pay compensation after a war, and even more so, double the compensation.
Zhao Linger would not miss this opportunity to establish Zhang Wuji's authority and image.
She was also very eloquent and spoke for half an hour. At this moment, Zhang Wuji's image in the hearts of these people was like a savior.
After Zhao Linger finished speaking, a woman in black in the corner suddenly shouted.
"Long live the Ming Cult, long live the leader's wife."
This sudden shout was far beyond Zhao Linger's expectations.
She was also wondering in her heart who was such a perceptive person who could suddenly shout out such a sentence at such a time.
Zhao Linger thought to herself, "I will definitely reward this perceptive guy handsomely."
Just as Zhao Linger was looking around with a red face, she suddenly found that Han Qi was smiling at her in the corner not far away.
"Han Qi is a person who has traveled all over the world. If she can't even guess her master's thoughts, then she has lived in vain."
Zhao Linger also smiled at Han Qi, and he thought to himself, "Han Qi will be of great use in the future."
…
Zhao Linger was busy providing relief to the victims, but Zhang Wuji on the other side was already a little overwhelmed.
After all, he hadn't been with Zhou Zhiruo for a long time.
He held Zhou Zhiruo's white jade hand and suddenly asked, "Zhiruo, um, it took me many days to get from Hanzhong to Xianyang. I've been exhausted all the way and I haven't had a good rest for a day."
"Where did you rest during your time in Xianyang?"
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Wuji's slightly haggard face and felt a little distressed.
She thought to herself, "Men really have a harder life than women. I deserved to die just now. Why did I have to act like a spoiled child about something like that? It's so petty."
Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly pulled Zhang Wuji to the inn where she and Zhao Linger lived.
The moment I opened the door, a fragrance hit me in the face.
Zhang Wuji thought to himself, "Yes, this is the room where Zhiruo usually lives, and there is still her scent in this room."
The moment the door closed, Zhang Wuji hugged her tightly in his arms.
This sudden moment frightened Zhou Zhiruo greatly.
Zhou Zhiruo quickly said: "Hey, didn't you just say that you were tired? You don't want to do that kind of thing again?"
Zhang Wuji quickly said: "Zhiruo, I am indeed a little tired, but the moment I saw you, all my fatigue was swept away. You, you are the best medicine to relieve me."
