Ji Changying didn't care whether the young master was angry to death or not, she was too lazy to pay attention.
He just thought that it was a blessing from his ancestors that she, a commoner, could work in the palace, yet he still asked so many questions. He was simply ungrateful!
She sees clearly.
If she wasn't so strong herself, the other party's attitude would probably be a few points worse.
But so what?
Even here, she never felt that she was inferior to anyone else, and she was always that free soul.
If you want to invite me, don’t invite me. If you don’t want to, forget it.
"The weather is getting colder and colder. We can't even squeeze together at night." Ji Fengshou hugged the black dog to warm his hands and stamped his feet.
"I'll spread the leather for you all later. Make do with it. We'll be in Liangzhou soon."
As Ji Changying spoke, she went to the carriage to get the leather for them.
Even if their large number slows down their progress, they will reach Liangzhou within five days.
It was similar to Ji Changying's estimation. They hurried along the way, and with the Gale Team traveling day and night, they saw Liangzhou City on the fourth day.
Seeing the city wall from afar, the people of the Ji family couldn't help but reveal expressions of crying, laughing, sadness and joy on their faces.
The overly complicated emotions made the expressions on their faces distorted.
Ji Changying grabbed the people at home and said, "Hurry up and put on the masks we made these days!"
After saying that, he hung the cloth made by Mrs. Hu on his ears.
Seeing Ji Changying like this, the others called out to each other and quickly brought her up.
Zhongli Zhou turned around and saw that all the Ji clan members were blocking his face. "What are they doing? They look so weird! If we hadn't encountered them a few days ago, they would have been shot through before they could even reach the city wall."
Huang Lao took a look and took out an identical item from his pocket and put it on his face. He handed the other one to Xie Siheng and said, "Put it on quickly. I made it specially for you."
Mr. Huang made two of this after watching Hu and others make it. The difference is that his is double-layered, and he placed some refreshing herbs between the two layers.
"What is that! Why don't you give it to me?" Zhonglizhou looked at Mr. Huang with a bit of grievance.
"Hmph, I won't give it to you. It's because you are that man's child!" Old Huang didn't like Zhong Lizhou as much as Xie Siheng.
One is the son of my junior sister’s daughter, and the other is that man’s grandson. Do you want to enjoy the same treatment from him?
You’re dreaming!
Lieutenant General Yang walked up to the carriage window and said, "Sir, should we go directly into the city or..."
He looked at the people following him and hesitated.
These people haven't figured out how to arrange it yet.
"Go find Ji and discuss buying the medicinal herbs that were allocated to them."
After hearing Zhonglizhou's words, Lieutenant General Yang took the order and left.
The area outside Liangzhou City is now desolate.
The several tents were filled with refugees standing or lying down. Two meters away from this row of tents, there were several straw tents, all filled with doctors.
They were guarded by soldiers to prevent the refugees from approaching.
There were two large pots next to it, boiling thatch water in them. In order to prevent the water from getting cold in such cold weather, the matches underneath were constantly burning.
The people on the city wall had already been on alert when they saw a large group of people approaching from a distance. The archers were already in position, ready to shoot at any time.
Only when he got a little closer and saw the flags of the military camp did he quickly put down his bow and arrow: "Hurry and open the city gate! The people from the Gale Squad are back!"
The garrison on the city wall was delighted when they saw the flag and hurried down to open the city gate.
Seeing the tightly closed city gate open, there was a commotion among the refugees, and some planned to rush in while no one was paying attention.
However, the soldiers defending the city cut off the heads of the victims without hesitation, holding up the heads and shouting, "Anyone who comes near will be killed without mercy!"
This bloody and murderous scene shocked people immediately.
The people of the Ji family were used to such scenes and thought it was okay, but they couldn't help but question it: "I thought we'd be safer in Liangzhou, but this... this doesn't seem to be safe at all!"
The patriarch cleared his throat and said, "We've come this far, let's just wait and see what happens."
After Lieutenant General Yang came over to explain the situation, Ji's people discussed it briefly and then agreed to convert the medicinal materials into money.
Zhonglizhou got the answer he wanted: "The Ji clan members will enter the city and hand over to the government office. The bandits and miners will stay where they are and be separated from the refugees. They will be resettled tomorrow!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, a group of people marched into the city in a mighty manner.
When passing by those refugees, Ji Changying saw piles of corpses being dragged to a mass grave by guards.
There were also those who were queuing in front of the two pots to get thatched water, holding their stomachs and looking pale.
Some people rushed into the woods again and again because they had diarrhea. When they came out, their steps were weak and they rushed back before reaching the straw hut.
Some people couldn't even pull up their pants. In such cold weather, they had to poop on the spot with half of their buttocks exposed, without caring about their image or face at all.
Ji Changying couldn't help but remind everyone at home to cover their mouths and noses.
They walked into the city and found that Liangzhou City was also very deserted.
Because of the epidemic, there were few people on the streets. Occasionally, there were pedestrians walking by, but they would avoid them with disgust when they saw them.
They followed him all the way to the government office in Liangzhou City, where Zhongli Zhou directly put the members of the Ji family into prison.
This did not make them dissatisfied. Instead, they all breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better for us to be in the prison. I'm really afraid of being thrown out of the city!"
"That's right. I'm used to living in this prison. I actually feel like I'm home."
"Actually, this is pretty good. At least it's better than the drafty outside. It's warmer here anyway..."
Mrs. Hu glanced at the unfocused tribesmen and got busy. "Don't sit idle! Does anyone have any vinegar or calamus in stock? Hurry up and cook some and sprinkle it around! We've been through those people before, who knows if they've been tainted by evil spirits!"
Thinking of the miserable appearance of those people, they all trembled and began to unpack their luggage.
Ji Changying was just closing her eyes and thinking about the disinfection items in her space when she heard Zhong Lizhou's voice: "You and your mother come with me!"
Ji Changying opened her eyes and looked at him: "What are you doing?"
"Go to the palace to see my mother."
Zhong Lizhou originally wanted to threaten her that if she didn't go, he would throw them all into hard labor, but he swallowed his words when he thought of Xie Siheng's words.
Ji Changying stood up and pulled Zhou: "Let's go!"
Ji Fengshou and Ji Changchuan looked at them eagerly: "Come back soon!"
"Don't worry!"
Zhongli Zhou led them out of the government office, and his carriage was already waiting outside the door.
When Ji Changying opened the curtain, she saw Xie Siheng and Mr. Huang inside.
"Let's go!" Zhongli Zhou asked the two to get in the car without saying anything.
"As long as my mother is satisfied, I will do everything I promised you. If my mother is not satisfied, then we have to follow the rules."
Zhongli Zhou looked at Ji Changying seriously.
"It depends on your ability." Ji Changying said indifferently.
Pick them?
She even picked on the other party!
