With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

There were originally several hundred horse-drawn carriages in the army, but they only carried large pots and pans and were not considered baggage that could travel with the army.

Later, they bought many carriages in the cities they passed through, and Nangong Wu also had some in her spatial storage.

"There are too few wagons; this grain is only enough for the army for three days," Li Feng reported.

After thinking for a moment, Nangong Wu arranged for ten medium-sized container trucks to be driven by some of the Flying Feather Guards who knew how to drive.

With these ten cartloads of grain, the army can eat for one more day.

"Li Shuang, Li Cheng, it seems you two will have to stay as well."

"yes!"

Li Cheng and Li Shuang bowed respectfully.

Nangong Wu arranged everything and got that large helicopter ready.

Li Ke brought the large tracked vehicle and let the women and children board the plane.

As for their luggage, Nangong Wu put it all into her spatial storage and took it with her.

"Wait for me!" Qiao Xiangqing rode up on horseback, dismounted, and ran towards Nangong Wu. "Princess, I'll go back with you."

Nangong Wu nodded, "Then let's get on the plane!"

She has suffered a lot in the past ten days or so.

"Let's go back!" Qiao Xiangqing opened the cabin door and sat in the front cabin.

This time, Nangong Wu asked Li An to go back with her, as Huo Chengning was only two years old and needed someone to take care of him.

That evening at 9 PM, Nangong Wu returned to Runan City.

In the ten days or so that she was gone, all the old houses around the government office were demolished and new wooden houses were built in their place.

Nangong Xiao led a group of people out to greet them.

"Little sister, you've worked hard. Go back and rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow." Nangong Xiao felt a little sorry for her when he saw her tired expression.

"I'm fine now." Nangong Wu smiled at him. "I brought the generals' families back first and made sure they were settled in properly."

Su Siyan immediately stepped forward, "Your Highness, I will make arrangements for them."

"Yes, this is Li An." Nangong Wu called Li An over and introduced her to them, "Brother, this is Li An, the wife of our sworn brother Huo Lifeng."

Nangong Xiao, Su Siyan, Ji Hongfei, and the Flying Feather Guards who were later recruited had never met Li Feng and Li An.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xiao cupped his hands in greeting, "Greetings, sister-in-law."

Li An put Huo Zhining down and returned the greeting, saying, "Your subordinate greets Your Highness."

Su Siyan, Ji Hongfei, and the others also bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, sister-in-law."

"You're too kind, everyone."

Li An returned the greetings one by one.

"The children in the cabin are all sleepy, let's let them get off first!" Nangong Wu said to Su Siyan.

"We'll arrange it right away." Su Siyan hurriedly went to open the rear cabin door.

"I'm going back to rest too! See you tomorrow!" Qiao Xiangqing waved to them and went back to her residence first.

"Sister, I've built a few houses for you and Father. Let me take you to see them," Nangong Xiao said.

"Okay, thank you, bro."

The brother and sister walked into the government office together.

Nangong Xiao led her to a row of wooden houses and gave her a key. "The two houses in the middle are your father's, the two houses on the right are yours, and my two houses are on the left."

I know you have belongings. Your room only has a simple wooden bed. If you don't like it, move out tomorrow.

My sister's space has everything, so I didn't decorate a room for her.

"Okay, we can talk about these things tomorrow. It's getting late, so you should get some rest too. I can go in by myself." Nangong Wu waved to him, walked to the door on the right, and opened the door with the key.

She took a flashlight and walked inside. Seeing candles on the table, she lit them with a lighter.

The two rooms are about 40 square meters in size, and the air is filled with the unique fragrance of wood. There is a wooden bed and a table and chairs.

She glanced around and then slipped into the space.

The next day.

Nangong Wu got up very early and took Huo Jing out of the space, first going to the original front hall of the yamen.

Nangong Xiao still set up their temporary office here.

I could faintly hear a commotion outside.

"Is someone causing trouble outside again?" Huo Jing glanced outside.

The houses inside and around the government office were demolished, but the main gate and walls were still there, so the outside situation could not be seen.

"Father, it's a soup kitchen set up by our people outside. People from the city come to get soup," Nangong Wu told him.

Huo Jing frowned after hearing this. "The yamen is a place for offices, not a soup kitchen."

In a government office, a place of great importance, too many people make it easy for assassins to sneak in.

"Father, there were originally more than 30,000 people in Runan City. In addition to the original few thousand garrison soldiers, many more famine refugees came later. Now there are nearly 60,000 ordinary people in the city. Ten soup kitchens have been set up, and the one outside the yamen is just one of them."

"But the porridge stall really shouldn't be set up outside the government office. There are always long queues for meals every day, which obstructs people's access. I'll have someone move the porridge stall somewhere else in a bit," Nangong Wu said.

Huo Jing frowned even more when he heard that there were so many disaster victims.

With over 50,000 disaster victims, 300,000 troops from Zhenyuan, and the garrison troops from Runan and Jianggang prefectures, totaling 400,000 people, and so many people waiting to be fed, plus the need to expand Runan city, it's clear how much pressure the daughter was under.

But he didn't say anything more.

In the main hall, Nangong Xiao, Nangong Hong, Su Siyan, Cao Bin, Li Zhan, and more than a dozen others were sitting inside.

Nangong Wu is back. Knowing that she would definitely have a meeting, everyone came early to wait for her.

When they came in, everyone in the room stood up.

"Father."

"Greetings, Uncle Wang."

"Greetings, Your Highness and Princess."

Although Nangong Wu had told them not to call her Princess anymore, in their hearts, she would always be Princess.

"Hmm." Huo Jing glanced at them. "Let's all sit down and talk things over!"

"Father, please take a seat." Nangong Xiao helped Huo Jing to sit down in the main seat.

After everyone was seated, Nangong Xiao spoke first:

"Sister, the wooden houses we've built are enough for the people to live in. What should we do next?"

"Expand Runan City." Nangong Wu took out a map, opened it, and placed it on the desk. "This is the city we will expand in the future, and it will also be our castle. You should all take a look."

This is a painting she did with Eileen.

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and gathered around the table.

The wall depicted in the picture is similar to that of an imperial city, square in shape, and in the middle, there is also a square walled city.

Nangong Xiao pointed to the center and asked, "Sister, is this city in the middle going to be a royal palace?"

This picture is clearly drawn based on an imperial city.

"You could say that if we have our own territory, we need our own government, and therefore we need a castle to protect ourselves."

Nangong Wu took out a pencil and drew a line from each of the four small corners of the city wall to the four large corners, then said:

"There is one city gate each in the east, west, south, and north. The city is divided into four major areas. The northern area is a general residential area with houses built according to a unified plan. All the main streets are commercial streets."
