Chapter 437 Taking Office as Northern City Governor
Xia Wanniang thought that she might have miscalculated again this time. She has been here for almost half a month and there is no news at all.
Xiao Chiye and Qingfeng both brought news that the governors of the three cities in the south, north and west had all been captured, and Xu Li was going to take over as the governor of the northwestern city.
The North City is the city closest to the border and the closest garrison to the Northwest Army.
The third prince mentioned above was demoted to a commoner with conclusive evidence, and he also brought several other princes into the water, including those who sold contraband salt, those who privately forged weapons, and those who stationed troops.
In any case, none of the people before Wu Hanyu gained any benefits, and the court carried out another major reshuffle.
Big Bear would go out for a walk every day to see if he could find anything.
Xia Wanniang looked at Lai Fu who ran in and asked, "Did you find it?"
Lai Fu: Wait a minute, let me drink some water first. I’m almost dying of thirst. The weather here changes every day.
Xia Wanniang brought it some water, placed it in front of it, and waited for it to drink it.
Lai Fu finally came back to life after drinking the water: A little mouse said that he saw someone disappear in front of a big rock before.
Xia Wanniang raised her eyebrows slightly: "In front of the big rock?"
Lai Fu nodded: It will take about three days of walking from here.
Xia Wanniang pondered for a long time. If what the little mouse said was true, then the lair behind this stone was most likely Pu Xingyu's lair, and there might even be some mechanism.
She was not good at mechanisms and did not know what was going on inside, which was a bit troublesome.
"Can the little mice get in?"
Lai Fu tilted his head and thought for a while: He said that the people inside don't come out often, and there are big rocks blocking the way, so if you want to go in, you have to wait until they open the door. But he saw a companion who wanted to run in out of curiosity and was beaten to death by the guards.
Xia Wanniang frowned. She wouldn't be able to find out what was going on inside this way, so she had to force her way in.
She wrote a letter to Xiao Chiye, telling him the place and that she thought she had found it, but the gate was a mechanism that she couldn't crack, and she couldn't find out the situation of the guards inside.
Xiao Chiye replied to her letter very quickly. He had already brought his troops here. Jing An had already made instructions and would be able to meet up with her early tomorrow morning.
Xia Wanniang put away the letter and didn't let Lai Fu and the others go to inquire about the news.
Xu Li brought her a message: There will be no rain outside the Great Wall this year.
As for Yunhe, she had already sent him a message. She didn't expect that he would bring a few children here to gain experience. She didn't know if it was fate.
Xia Wanniang met Yunhe and several children in the evening.
The children and the black-and-black animals were not in such a good condition. Their clothes were ragged and they had many wounds on their bodies.
Some of them have recovered, while some have not yet recovered. They look like they are fleeing.
When Xiao Zimu and the others saw her, their eyes were filled with surprise: "Mom."
Xia Wanniang saw that although the children had suffered a lot of injuries, they had become stronger, taller, and more tanned.
The white and tender pink dumplings have now become small black sesame balls.
She felt distressed, but there was nothing she could do. The rule of law here was not perfect, and they could only live more freely if they had the ability to protect themselves.
He took the children to the river, let them take a bath, and gave them clean clothes to change into.
Xiao Zisen never stopped talking and kept telling her about what they had encountered during this period.
They encountered poisonous insects, snakes, scorpions, and some large wild beasts.
Xia Wanniang listened quietly. She knew that although they sounded relaxed when talking, the journey was probably not easy.
Yunhe would not help them unless their lives were in danger.
She could see the wounds on their bodies, some of which were almost life-threatening.
Xiao Zilin felt that although she had a smile on her face, her mood was clearly not right.
He deliberately lagged behind and waited for Xia Wanniang: "Mom, are you sad?"
Xia Wanniang had always known that Xiao Zilin was a very careful and sensitive child, but she had never expected that he could detect her emotional changes: "Zilin, will you blame me?"
