Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Chapter 223 Face

Xu Yun didn't ask what Xiao Zheyue wanted to say.

Finally, Xiao Zheyue said to Xu Yun: "You... really don't want to?"

Xu Yun shook his head firmly: "I really don't want to."

She is afraid of death.

This kind of lucrative job, if done well, would certainly bring glory, but if done poorly - not to mention the infamy, it would definitely lead to a bad death.

Gao Xu always had someone to protect him.

What about her? It's good that no one is trying to trip her up.

They had already arrived at the palace gate. Xu Yun waved goodbye to Xiao Zheyue and then returned home.

At this hour, after returning to the Imperial College, it is time to go home directly.

So why not just go home.

Fortunately, Wang Li was smart and was already waiting at the palace gate.

When he saw Xu Yun coming out, he hurried over to invite Xu Yun to get in the car - the car belonged to Luo Zhan's family next door. It was their family's good fortune, and they were really embarrassed to take it out now.

too skinny.

Afraid that people would think they were abusive.

Not long after Xu Yun returned home, Gao Yu came, looking a little solemn.

Seeing Gao Yu like this, Xu Yun took her and Luo Li back to the study.

Luo Li still didn't know what happened.

But Xu Yun asked, "Tell me, what's the news in the palace?"

Gao Yu's eyes widened: "You know everything?"

Xu Yun shook his head: "I don't know. But you have never been so worried. Isn't it good news?"

"You are going to Lingtai County, how can I not be worried?!" Gao Yu was so angry: "Ayun, if you don't want to stay in Kyoto, you should tell me. At least I will ask my father to plead for you and find a better place!"

She said angrily: "Do you know where the Lingtai is?"

Xu Yun shook his head.

She really doesn't know.

Luo Li's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he smiled bitterly: "Lingtai County, it sounds nice, but it's actually a poor place."

She sighed, "Lingtai County is not far from Yanmen Pass. It is a bitterly cold place. Throughout the year, the warm days are only half a year. In March, we take off our coats, and in September, we put on our coats. In the middle of winter, the roads are blocked by heavy snow, which can be half a person's height—"

"Half of the county is covered with mountains. There is little land that can be cultivated."

Luo Li sighed again: "The key is that there are many hunters in this place. It's hard to manage."

To say that their people are tough is an exaggeration.

She smiled bitterly and whispered, "No woman wants to marry into that place."

Xu Yun understood.

Gao Yu knew that Luo Li knew everything, so he stopped talking and went straight to the most important point: "The news came last month that the county magistrate who was sent there before died in office."

Luo Li subconsciously asked, "How did he die?"

Gao Yu pursed his lips, looked at Xu Yun, and said, "He was stabbed to death by the villains."

Luo Li took a breath of cold air.

Xu Yun was also silent for a long time.

Ok.

It seems... it's not easy to be a county magistrate.

However, be mentally prepared.

Gao Yu reached out and grabbed Xu Yun's arm, "You can't go, Ah Yun. You can't go to this place."

Xu Yun lowered his eyes: "Who gave you the news?"

Gao Yu was stunned: "I heard it from the young palace maids. They said that the emperors sent you to such a remote place in order to win the support of the people. If you can achieve results, we will promote you when you come back."

"What else can I say? Even if you make some requests, I will try my best to satisfy you. After all, the situation in Lingtai County is there."

After hearing these words, Xu Yun felt relieved and even laughed.

When Luo Li saw Xu Yun's reaction, he thought about it for a moment and a smile appeared on his face.

Only Gao Yu was still anxiously worried. Seeing that the two were not in a hurry at all, he almost stamped his feet in anxiety: "How come you are not in a hurry at all?! It's already this late, and you still have the mood to laugh!"

When you really go to that place, it won’t be too late to cry!

Gao Yu said: "Ah Yun, let's go find Uncle Song. Uncle Song is highly respected--"

"I'm going to meet Mr. Song." Xu Yun smiled, "Ayu, when will Mr. Song come back?"

Gao Yu shook his head blankly, then he remembered that Song Qiao was on a business trip and was not in Beiping City now.

She tried desperately to think of anyone else who could plead for Xu Yun.

Xu Yun made the final decision: "If he comes back before I leave, we will go visit him."

He even turned around and told Luo Li: "You stay at home these few days and pack up everything you need to prepare. Also, think about what we want."

Each person makes a list so that it is easier to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

Luo Li agreed readily.

Gao Yu was completely stunned, looking at Xu Yun, bewildered and anxious.

Luo Li couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he urged Xu Yun with a smile: "Ah Yun, quickly explain to Ah Yu, don't make Ah Yu anxious."

Xu Yun smiled and held Gao Yu's hand, saying softly, "I'm afraid you didn't hear this by accident. Besides, didn't the higher-ups tell us that the place is bitter and cold, so we can just ask for anything we want?"

"In this way, whether it's people, horses, or things, it will be easy to deal with. Don't you think so?"

"I have someone to protect me, and I have everything I need. So after we get through this, what do we have to worry about?"

"The higher-ups are determined to govern that place. It's actually a good opportunity for me to go."

Xu Yun thought that their majesties were indeed planning to support him.

He was even afraid that he would not think of asking for something, so he asked Gao Yu to remind him.

It really takes a lot of effort.

For this hard work, Xu Yun felt that he should achieve some results.

Otherwise, we will be sorry to Your Majesties.

Gao Yu listened for a long time, but she didn't understand the details, but she understood one thing: "Can you ask someone to protect you? Then let's ask Luo Zhan."

Luo Li was drinking water and thinking about what to prepare. He suddenly heard this and spit out a mouthful of water: Is that a guard? He is the youngest general in our country!

Gao Yu turned to look at Luo Li: "Let Luo Zhan go with me, I'll feel more at ease."

Luo Li murmured: "Why don't you ask for a hundred thousand more troops?"

Gao Yu's eyes lit up——

Xu Yun quickly held Gao Yu's hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Who is Luo Zhan? How can he survive in the future if he protects a county magistrate?"

"One hundred thousand troops - is there a place big enough to accommodate so many people?"

Just dare to think about it every day!

Xu Yun said with a headache: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

Gao Yu pouted and didn't want to talk anymore.

There was some silence in the room.

Xu Yun found a topic: "There are so many hunters in Lingtai County, so there must be a lot of prey, right? How many furs can be produced in a year?"

Gao Yu nodded: "Yes. But this is not a rare thing. These things can't be sold at a high price in the north."

It was too expensive for the common people to afford. They would rather wear rabbit skin or sheepskin.

It’s cheap, but I can’t make any money.

She said, "In the past, merchants from the south came to buy it, so it was easy. In recent years——"

There was a war between the North and the South, so the merchants didn't dare to come.
