As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 153 Returning to the old place
"General Ling may be a little slow in some aspects, unlike ordinary girls. But please believe me, Lord Ming. She is kind-hearted and virtuous, a rare and extraordinary woman. Most importantly, she loves you..."

Seeing that Mingchen seemed to have no objection to this.

Feng Xiaozhong couldn't help but increase his praise, praising Ling Yu like Wang Po selling melons. If you didn't know, you would think he was selling his own daughter to Mingchen.

At the end of the story, he felt that he had gone too far and quickly stopped.

"The world is in a bad situation right now. General Ling is a rising star and a perfect match for Lord Ming!"

"Hey~"

Mingchen was amused when he heard this. He lowered his eyes slightly and said softly, "I know."

The old waiter has become the host in a way.

They were related by the same blanket, and he knew Ling Yu much better than Feng Xiaozhong.

We have been away from each other for more than two months, and Mingchen misses me so much.

The face of that dazed man seemed to be right in front of him, lingering in his mind. Thinking of that man, Mingchen couldn't help but smile.

"OK……"

Mingchen narrowed his eyes, as if thinking of something interesting, and said to Feng Xiaozhong, "To be honest, Master Feng, I have long admired Sister Ling, but unfortunately... I am shy and not good at expressing myself, and I am afraid of offending you."

He was quite curious to see how the silly sister, who looked resolute and strong on the outside but was actually quite shy and reserved, would react when asked by Feng Xiaozhong.

"If Lord Feng is interested, please be sure to speak to him on my behalf."

Shy? Not good at speaking? Afraid of offending the beautiful woman?
Are these words used on Lord Ming?

Feng Xiaozhong looked at the smiling Mingchen with some suspicion, always feeling that what this person said was a little untrue.

But it's a good thing after all.

Both young men are not easy to deal with. They have already reached the top of the society and are not willing to be constrained by others.

The man is in love and the woman is willing, and it couldn't be better for them to be in love with each other.

"it is good!"

"Don't worry, Master Ming. I'll take care of this matter!"

When they arrived in Baizhou, he asked his wife to talk to Ling Yu.

Ling Yu is older than Ming Chen and is already an old maid.

It's okay if you are not interested in matters between men and women, but if you have someone you like, you must make arrangements quickly.

Mingchen's eyes were filled with anticipation. He smiled and bowed to Feng Xiaozhong, "Then I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Lord Feng!"

"Cough cough~"

Lao Deng and Xiao Deng were chatting when they suddenly heard the princess coughing lightly.

At some point, Her Royal Highness the Princess had already ridden her horse between the two of them.

good good!
Ling Yu turned out to be a woman.

You are so good, Feng Xiaozhong, you play with me like this, right?
If you have nothing to do, come and handle government affairs for me!
She thought...

Xiao Xinyue's inexplicable expectations were dashed, and she felt a little unhappy.

"What are you talking about?"

"Forehead……"

Somehow, Feng Xiaozhong felt that His Highness's eyes were chilling. He opened his mouth dryly and was about to say something.

Mingchen smiled and helped him out: "Your Highness, Chen is chatting with Lord Feng about some important life events~"

This playboy always had such a frivolous smile on his face, and his eyes were a little rude, as if he could see into people's hearts.

This man doesn't look like a good guy.

When she was in Beilie, he even invited her to visit a brothel!

Xiao Xinyue paused and unconsciously looked away, avoiding looking into his eyes.

The forests in the distance are lush and green.

"Oh."

Xiao Xinyue responded, glancing to her side vaguely, as if remembering something. She changed the subject, "Mingchen, our team's supplies are running low. When are we going to go get some?"

There are at least three hundred people in their group!
Three hundred mouths need to feed.

They left the capital in a hurry, and everyone only brought a few days' worth of dry food.

You will also need to go to the town to replenish supplies along the way.

These people are still traitors in name only.

The current situation in the world is unclear. Although most places are in turmoil, at least on the surface they still obey the capital.

Many cities are dangerous and need to be carefully considered.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Chen has already made plans."

Mingchen smiled and waved his hand, looking into the distance: "Revisiting the old place, there are still my old friends there!"

……

In Baizhou, Ling Yu rubbed his twitching eyelids, feeling an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

I don’t know who is talking about her!
She raised her head and stared towards the north.

Is that the person?

The face living in my heart has not dimmed at all, but has become clearer and clearer, and I miss it more and more.

The wine tastes less delicious.

She had received news that the man was fleeing south with the princess.

The loyal generals disobeyed the transfer order from the capital and openly chose to support the second princess.

In a sense, she is now not much different from the blood-stained rebels in the south.

She made her choice and there was no going back.

She doesn't know what the future holds.

She doesn't know whether there will be flowers or dog shit at her grave in the future, whether she will be cursed or praised.

But she feels that what she is doing is right.

Besides... she also wanted to be with that playboy with a constant smirk forever. "General, what's wrong with you?"

The deputy general beside him asked with some concern.

The general has been really busy lately. On the one hand, he has to govern the city, on the other hand, he has to command and train the army, and at the same time, he has to fight wits and courage with the Blood-Clothed Rebels.

Ling Yu just waved his hand gently: "It's okay!"

……

Wangyang City,
"Have you heard? His Majesty has passed away again. It's said that it was the Second Princess's doing! The new emperor has ascended the throne and a nationwide wanted notice has been issued for the Second Princess."

"That's right, I saw the notice!"

"Whoever can capture them will be promoted four ranks, granted the title of Marquis, and rewarded with 100,000 gold!"

"The new emperor... isn't a good idea! I heard there were traitors trying to usurp the throne... and some places are rebelling."

"Don't say it, don't say it..."

"We are quite close to the capital. The bigwigs above should support the capital, right?"

"I don't care who I support, just don't fight."

"Tsk, the Wang family was all murdered a few days ago. There are no wealthy families left in our county. It's not peaceful now~"

……

The country was in turmoil and the world was in chaos.

Conscription, heavy taxation, tyranny... are everywhere.

In the current situation, there are actually not many cities that can remain stable, and most residents are in panic.

Wangyang County, however, seemed to have not changed at all. People were rushing about, and although their clothes did not look rich, they were not poor or shabby either.

There were also people gossiping in groups on the street.

Few people paid attention to it, and a few outsiders were walking on the street.

"Your Highness, how is this city?"

Half a year has passed,

The scholar who passed the examination rose to fame and became famous all over the world, but in the blink of an eye he fell to the bottom and became a rebel.

Mingchen seems to have changed a lot, but the city seems to have not changed much.

At the very least, the ordinary people here have not been affected by the unstable national situation outside, and the city remains stable.

However, the people around me are different each time I come.

Beside him, a naturally noble beauty wore a conical hat and observed her surroundings through the gauze.

Behind them were several sharp-eyed guards wearing coarse clothes.

It often attracts curious glances from passers-by.

The people were unaware of this and were discussing the Second Princess's defection.

It is far away in the sky, yet it is right in front of you.

Logically speaking, as the most important heart of the 300-person team, Xiao Xinyue should not be allowed to leave her protection and go to a city.

Xiao Ling strongly opposed this.

If anything happens to Xiao Xinyue, all efforts will be in vain.

but……

After all, Xiao Xinyue is the leader, not a canary, and she has absolute decision-making power.

She could decide what to do, and she wanted to see this special city.

This is the meaning of her leaving the imperial city cage, and the process of escape is also a process of learning and growing.

The more you see, the less likely you are to be fooled by those below you. You will have a higher vision and become a better leader.

With Mingchen guarding her, she felt safe.

If anyone could get past Mingchen and hurt her, she would be doomed, and she wouldn't be able to escape even if she hid among the guards.

So, she and Mingchen went into the city with a few guards.

Xiao Xinyue looked around and nodded dazedly: "You are right, the manager here is indeed a capable person."

Before coming, Mingchen briefly told her about the situation here.

Some cities are prosperous because they have a good foundation and can withstand bloodsucking.

But some cities can maintain stability and peace under the current conditions because the city has good leaders and hardworking people.

Xiao Xinyue is not the ignorant Ling Yu when she came out of the mountains. Her vision is much higher and she can see many details.

She knew that this city was the latter.

She smiled and sighed: "Not bad... Not bad..."

Mingchen said that he had an old relationship with the county magistrate here.

This playboy is a scheming man. I'm afraid he has made some plans long ago and will surely try to win him over to his camp in the future.

Who as a king doesn’t want his subjects to be capable people?
Qian Yuan was really rotten. Such a capable person could only live in this small county town, being an unknown county magistrate and burying his life.

"Sir, Qingzhu! It's them!"

As the group was walking, they suddenly heard Fu Yao's voice.

The white bird tilted its head and looked to the other side with curiosity in its eyes.

Mingchen was stunned.

At the same time, another voice sounded in his ears: "Sir, long time no see."

In an instant, Mingchen, who had a smile on his face, suddenly became a little stiff.

Oh no, is it possible for us to meet again by chance? The dusty dark history has been revealed.

Not far away, a slim figure in gorgeous clothes walked towards them step by step.

She had a bright smile on her face, like a peacock with its tail spread out, showing herself freely.

Around her neck hung a lush green bamboo. The small bamboo was shining in the sunlight and trembling slightly, forming a sharp contrast with her white neck.
