Leaving aside the demoralized state of the Liangzhou Mighty Army, the workers in the desolate county were completely exhausted.
If another batch arrives, there won't be any houses to allocate, and we can't all sleep on the streets, can we?
After thinking it over, Old Lady Gongsun contacted Zhongyan and her brother again and decided to settle the next batch of refugees in Qing County.
This is a good opportunity to build a factory in Qing County, improve the living standards of believers in Qing County, and also allow everyone to learn more about the Mountain Goddess.
Besides building the two factories, Liang Shu has another very important task: she is about to take her people to the capital to sell warm jade!
This winter is so cold, and the heavy snow hasn't stopped yet. Even burning charcoal indoors isn't very pleasant. Now is the perfect time to sell these jade pendants!
So Liang Shu changed back into her county princess dress, a scarlet robe with five phoenixes spreading their wings as if about to take flight, and cloud patterns outlined in gold thread that shimmered in the sunlight.
With a jade belt around her waist and a pheasant crown and beaded curtain half-concealing her beautiful face, she swayed with every step, her skirt flowing like waves, exuding boundless wealth and nobility.
She carefully hung the warm jade on her body and winked at the people behind her.
"The ancient people's robes are so gorgeous!" Xia Yan was stunned.
"Let's go, we're going to the capital!"
Finally, one day, Liang Shu went back!
Liang Shu, who has returned to the capital this time, is only the Princess of Ning'an County and has no relation to the Marquis's mansion!
“I’m going back too. If anything happens, I’ll send you all out!” Liang Yu also clenched her fists.
In fact, having come to such a wonderful place in the wilderness, with her master by her side and a group of fellow villagers, she didn't really want to return to the capital city.
But the situation in Beijing is very complicated these days, and she worries that her friends won't be able to come back.
"Don't worry, with me here, everything will be fine!" Xia Yan patted her chest to assure her.
With this crystal pen that can store magic, she secretly engraved many magic circles on her jade pendant, so that she could easily escape at the crucial moment!
"Let Qingqing come with you too. She's been in the desolate county all this time, and her heart is already wandering wild," Wang Wan said gently, glancing at them.
The daughter, Wang Qing, has the ability to summon her parents, so if anything really happens, she can arrive in time.
"If we really encounter any evil spirits that we can't deal with, we should ask the Mountain Goddess for help in time. I won't go with her this time. Those new refugees need to be disciplined with our fists. We can't let them cause trouble and bring danger to the barren mountains," Lin Anniang reminded her.
"Of course, Anniang, wait for my safe return!" Liang Shu smiled.
Not long after, they set off with a batch of sugar, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.
Meanwhile, Zhang Jing also took Zhong Yan and a group of refugees to Qing County.
Zhang Jing and Zhang Yao were originally one body with two souls, but after Zhang Yao's ability to control the earth improved, she created a body for her sister so that her sister could temporarily live in it.
Her soul was separated, and she also had a body. The system judged her as a separate individual, so when the mountain god bestowed blessings this time, Zhang Jing also received the blessing.
She gained the ability to copy others' abilities, which she could use for half a month.
With the heavy snow falling continuously, most roads are blocked, making it difficult for vehicles to pass. Teleportation is the most useful technology.
Zhang Jing replicated Liang Shu's abilities and was responsible for guiding the refugees and building a new factory for Qing County.
Both groups set off separately, and the barren mountain returned to tranquility.
The capital city.
The group from the desolate mountain disguised themselves as a merchant caravan and were led inside by Liang Shu.
She was a county princess personally appointed by His Majesty, and even without the title of mistress of the Qing'an Marquis's mansion, she remained extremely noble.
The guards at the gate didn't check him at all before letting him in; they dared not offend the royal family.
Princess Ning'an was, after all, the daughter of King Xuan. Even if she was only a concubine's daughter, it was not something they could criticize.
Upon entering the capital, Liang Shu immediately went to see her father, the King.
She lost her mother at a young age, and King Xuan cared for his daughters quite a bit, so the relationship between father and daughters was always pretty good.
However, in her past life, she was stuck in a rut, believing that as a daughter highly valued by her father, she should live a very good life even after marriage and should not bring shame to the royal family.
Therefore, she never mentioned any of the things that happened after marrying into the Marquis's family to her father. In addition, Qingzhou was far away from the capital, and communication between the two places took a long time, so Prince Xuan knew nothing about it.
Now, Liang Shu suddenly put on the clothes of a county princess, let down her high-tied Du Dan hair which made her look particularly dignified, and styled her hair into the flying fairy bun commonly seen by noble ladies in the capital, which stunned Prince Xuan.
King Xuan had just returned from the court, still wearing a black four-clawed python robe with golden dragons coiled from his shoulders to the hem, and a blood jade pendant hanging from his waist, swaying slightly with his steps.
The attendant beside him had just taken off his grey satin sable cloak when he saw the prince rush out impatiently.
"Shushu, why are you back in a formal dress? Did that Marquis of Qing'an bully you?"
"Tell your father that I'll find some time to personally go to Qingzhou and teach that bastard a lesson!"
Liang Shu: "..."
Her father was as energetic as ever and didn't mind her sudden return. Instead, he immediately wanted to support her, realizing that he had been too attached to appearances in his past life.
Liang Shu held her father's hands and simply recounted everything that had happened in the Marquis's mansion after her rebirth.
This includes an incident where, on the way to a temple to offer incense, they encountered bandits. The old marquis secretly fled with his concubine, but instead abandoned her to draw their fire.
And the fact that the Marquis kept a mistress outside the marriage and had not set foot in the Marquis's mansion since his wedding night.
This was something Liang Shu discovered before she died in her previous life. She had always thought that the Marquis had been fighting wars abroad for so many years, which was why he couldn't come back.
