Huo Wuniang: ...That's it? Pretty good?
Could it be that Jiulang was engulfed by the Qi Lake after seeing this dilapidated scene?
Or, Jiulang still has expectations for the city?
Thinking of this, Huo Wuniang kicked the step and rode into the city.
When passing through the city gate, he didn't even look at the soldiers who were leaning against the gate catching lice and basking in the sun.
The soldiers were not at all panicked by Gu Qingcheng and her men, nor did they have any intention of rising up to fight the enemy.
They didn't seem to care whether the visitor was friend or foe.
It doesn't matter whether these people are just passing by or coming to occupy the city.
So what if I care?
Now that they are here, why should we care whether they care or not?
Whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty or the cavalry of the Western Rong and Yu Dynasties, they came and went every year.
The people and soldiers in the north city are used to it.
I'm numb too!
They have only one thought, to live!
As long as the invaders don't massacre the city but just steal some things or women, the people in the North City will not resist.
"This city makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it!"
"Maybe it'll be better in the city!"
"Huo Wu, wait for me! I'm going too!"
"Yeah! Let's go around town!"
More than a dozen people of the nth generation were all scared when they saw such a city for the first time.
They still had a glimmer of hope, so they rode their horses into the city.
Gu Qingcheng was not in a hurry to enter the city.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Qingcheng held a stack of information in his hand.
During the period of recuperation in Xizhou, Gu Qingcheng was not idle.
She arranged more than ten spies to go to the North City in advance.
She had a thorough investigation of the government offices, garrisons, people, land, and other situations in the northern city.
She studied the information in her hands over and over again.
The situation in North City is really complicated and a bit absurd.
Can you imagine that the county magistrate of Beicheng, a border town nominally belonging to the Qing Dynasty, is actually from the Yu Dynasty?
Can you imagine that the two major trading companies in the North City actually have very close relations with the Western Rong?
From civilians to military households, they did not have a clear concept of nationality.
If the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty come, they will obey;
When the troops from the Yu Dynasty arrive, they will obediently offer food.
The scariest thing is that there seems to be no law here!
People have no idea what the Qing Code is.
Perhaps the North City was too chaotic and difficult, so ordinary people, the elderly, the weak, women and children all left (disappeared?), leaving only a few extremely vicious criminals.
Murders in the streets happen from time to time.
Disguising as horse bandits and plundering other border towns is also normal!
"This is a den of thieves!"
"Or is it the Qing Dynasty version of the Black Triangle?"
Gu Qingcheng held the information in his hand, looked at the ruined city, and sighed silently in his heart.
Not long after, Huo Wuniang and a group of n generations came back on horseback.
The faces of the group were filled with indescribable expressions.
Huo Wuniang rode to the side of the carriage, bent down, and whispered to Gu Qingcheng through the window, "Jiulang, the city is even worse!"
She actually backed off a bit.
She was not afraid, but worried that the Ninth Prince would be disappointed!
My husband treats this place as his own territory. He has been actively preparing and full of hope during this period.
As a result, North City is in such a terrible state.
It is too chaotic, too poor, without women and children, and without vitality. It is not a normal city at all!
"Unbearable? Are there people breaking the law?"
Gu Qingcheng pretended not to know the inside story and asked the question following Huo Wuniang's words.
"..." Huo Wuniang and the other n generations were speechless.
It's such a lawless den of thieves, and Jiulang actually still hopes that there will be law here?
Oh, yes!
Their Jiulang attaches the most importance to the law.
He talks about the Qing Law all the time.
But the problem is that the emperor is far away and the Qing Code is of no use at all.
"Are there really people who break the law?"
Gu Qingcheng glanced at everyone's faces and pretended to be angry.
Huo Wuniang coughed lightly and cleared her throat. She wanted to pull her husband back to reality from his idealistic state. "Jiulang, the magistrate in the city, seems to be the biggest bandit leader!"
He took the lead in killing and looting, so how can the people and soldiers talk about abiding by the law?
"The bandit leader? Then he should be killed!"
Gu Qingcheng seemed to be angry.
She swung open the car door and said to Huo Wuniang and the other nth generation people, "In this bright and clear world, under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, there are still such rebellious people. Today, this prince will let them know what the Qing Law is!"
Huo Wuniang: ...
When she saw her husband's angry look, she seemed to understand something.
"Jiulang, what do you mean—"
"kill!"
Gu Qingcheng gently uttered this bloody word.
"Anyone who violates the Qing Code in the northern city will be punished according to the law."
"Kill those who deserve to be killed! Catch those who deserve to be arrested!"
Gu Qingcheng still looked weak, but her aura was extremely fierce.
Huo Wuniang swallowed her saliva and asked with a little uneasiness: "If everyone in the city——"
"Then kill them all!"
Gu Qingcheng's beautiful lips opened and closed, but such cruel words came out.
"……good!"
After traveling together for the entire journey and witnessing the Ninth Prince's abilities, not only Huo Wuniang, but also all the n generations were convinced of him.
Especially the nth generation, they did not leave with their families, but insisted on staying.
It's not just about revenge, it's about striving for honor and achieving success.
They also believe in the Ninth Prince.
