My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 682

[Chapter 663: Competition to recruit a bride (Second update, please subscribe)]

Jing Zhe did not agree with what the city defenders said, but he would not refute it. When he left, they would know how correct what he said was!

At this time, I was still curious and wanted to verify whether the old man’s words were true or false.

So he asked: “Is it true that General Jinghong was not injured?”

“…”

As soon as these words came out, the officers and soldiers who had just looked kinder on him out of Hanhan’s face suddenly stared.

Several other officers and soldiers nearby also gathered around and glared at him, much more excited than the old man’s reaction just now.

Hanhan quickly stood in front of Jing Zhe: Haha, is it finally my turn to protect the young village leader? Come on, do it quickly!

Seeing Hanhan’s expression of eagerness to try and wanting others to take action right away, Jing Zhe had a black line in his head and really wanted to kick him.

He stretched out his hand to pull him away, and then said with a smile: “Don’t be excited. I heard it from others in other places. I didn’t believe it at the time, so I came to Liangzhou to have a look! How could our brave General Jinghong be injured? ?”

After hearing this, the officers and soldiers guarding the city finally relaxed a lot.

“Don’t let us meet those who spread rumors and cause trouble, otherwise we will make them look good!”

someone said through gritted teeth.

“Our General Jinghong is so brave, how could he be injured?”

“Maybe the saint of Yueyao Kingdom was injured, and some people saw it and mistakenly thought it was General Jinghong who was injured?”

At this time, an officer and soldier analyzed.

“Hey, it seems possible!”

After hearing this, other officers and soldiers agreed.

Perhaps seeing Jing Zhe’s confused face, one of the officers and soldiers explained: “Because Yueyao Kingdom suddenly visited this time, they fought with the barbarians from Western Xinjiang for a long time outside the city. The saint of Yueyao Kingdom was also fighting with the barbarians from Western Xinjiang. She suffered some minor injuries, but it didn’t matter. Moreover, the Saintess of Yueyao Kingdom was dressed somewhat similar to General Jinghong. Perhaps some unknown outsider looked at her and came out of the city saying that General Jinghong was injured. It’s possible!”

“That’s it!”

Jing Zhe was even more happy: “It’s so good, so good!”

Jing Zhe felt relieved when he heard that his fifth sister was fine. It seemed that this trip to Liangzhou was better. It was much easier than I imagined. Once he left some more grenades, he would take Liu Jinghong away and go back to Jingzhou for the New Year!

…

After saying goodbye to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, Jing Zhe and Hanhan walked in from outside the city gate. The scene in Liangzhou City was beyond Jing Zhe’s expectation.

Jing Zhe’s previous imagination was that because Liangzhou City was located in the extreme western border of Anguo, with a harsh climate, yellow sand all over the outside of the city, and being adjacent to the Xijiang Kingdom, the city must have been desolate and dilapidated.

But when he entered the city, he discovered that although the scene in the city could not be compared with that of Jingzhou, it was not far from the Yongzhou and Jinxi places he had been to. There were many vendors on both sides of the street, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians walking on the street. It was prosperous.

However, just like what I saw outside the city just now, the pedestrians in the city are mostly women, young and old, and there are very few young men.

Occasionally I saw a few of them, and they all said things like “Let’s start” and “Hurry up” and then ran away all the way, leaving Jing Zhe a little confused.

Jing Zhe walked for a while and found that the excitement in Liangzhou City was not limited to the main street just entering the city, but also in most of the other branch streets. There were many shops, especially blacksmith shops.

“Hanhan, why do I think Liangzhou is more prosperous than Yongzhou?”

“Of course, General Jinghong is here after all!”

“…”

Hanhan said a rainbow fart, which shocked Jingzhe and stunned him. After a while, he said: “My fifth sister is not here, who are you flattering me for?”

“Um… Young Village Master, what I said is true!”

Then Hanhan explained that it turned out that Liangzhou City was affected by the terrain and climate. Because of this, most of the land here is sandy land, which is not suitable for growing food such as rice, and the yield is very low. Therefore, the people in Liangzhou are not rich, and the food they grow is just enough to be self-sufficient. In the past, Liangzhou Life is not easy for the people of the state.

And due to the frequent invasions of barbarians from Western Xinjiang, the Liangzhou defenders had to give food to Xijiang in the end to quell the war. Therefore, the imperial court would allocate a lot of food every year. There was a lot of food, but all of it was used to send to Xijiang.

Until Liu Jinghong appeared, the barbarians from Western Xinjiang were no longer able to conquer Liangzhou as easily as before. Naturally, food would not be given to them so easily. Instead, they had to exchange cattle, sheep, furs, cotton and other Western Xinjiang items.

There was a lot of food left over from the imperial court every year, and Liu Jinghong distributed it to the people. When the weather was good in summer, people from Xijiang often came to the city to exchange with the people in Liangzhou.

After going back and forth like this, the lives of the people in Liangzhou are getting better and better. There are even traders from other cities coming here to buy supplies from Western Xinjiang with them. This is why there are many shops in Liangzhou.

Moreover, although Liangzhou does not produce food, it is rich in iron ore and has many blacksmith shops. Many weapons in other cities in Anguo are produced in Liangzhou. After all, it is reasonable to say that Liangzhou’s economy is better than Yongzhou.

…

After listening to Hanhan’s explanation, Jing Zhe finally understood.

Liangzhou is somewhat similar to the commercial hub between Anguo and Xijiang. Liangzhou is responsible for exchanging grain with goods from Xijiang and then selling it to other cities in Anguo, so the people live a good life.

The barbarians in Western Xinjiang naturally don’t like this method of exchange. Compared with before, they only had to come and rob. This shows how powerful Liu Jinghong is.

As long as the Jinghong Iron Cavalry stays in Liangzhou, the barbarians from Western Xinjiang will never attack the city again. At most, they will just show off outside the city!

“Hey, I originally thought that coming to Liangzhou this time would help Fifth Sister in need, but I never thought that I would just come here to make things even better!”

Jing Zhe laughed at himself, and then asked passers-by about Liu Jinghong’s residence, with a naive expression. Searched for it.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, a large mansion appeared in front of the two of them. It was said to be a large mansion, but it was just larger than the ordinary houses around it.

There is a plaque hanging on the house with the three characters “General’s Mansion” written on it. There are two cavalrymen guarding the gate. Perhaps because they are relatively free, they are talking there.

“What do you think the general thought, why did he agree?”

“What’s wrong with the promise? I just want to get married!”

“Do you think the general is using this to select cavalry?”

“It’s possible! Anyone who participates Everyone who competes must have their wits about them, and those who fail will just have to investigate again!”

“Two cavalry brothers, I’m looking for General Jinghong!”

At this time, Jing Zhe came over and asked.

He was also quite curious about the “marry” they mentioned, but his top priority was to enter the house to find Liu Jinghong.

“Our generals are competing in martial arts to recruit brides!”

The cavalryman said smoothly without looking back.

“…”

——Good
