Chapter 382: Nanli Today
Nanli is a very special place for Dagan.
It was never really under Dagan's jurisdiction.
When Li Qingjun was in charge, this place was only a subsidiary country, and its internal affairs were completely independent. Since it wasn't long, he didn't even pay tribute, but got a lot of rewards instead...
Nanli accidentally destroyed the country, Li Qingjun went with the immortal, Li Wuxian was brought by the national teacher Qin Yi to donate soil to Qian, and became the princess of Dagan. At this time, Nanli was theoretically completely annexed to Dagan.
But in fact, there are thousands of miles of mountains between Nanli and Dagan, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. Moreover, there are many miasma, poisonous insects in the mountains, and many bandits are rampant. As a result, there are very few exchanges with China. Even caravans often need troops. Escorts, envoy officials are even less fond of coming.
This is the fundamental reason why the original Nanli was able to settle down and not be annexed. It is the same now, and the situation is still lonely.
Even though it was merged in name, sending some county magistrate here is tantamount to exile. I heard that one was sent before, but he was hacked to death halfway. At first, the emperor didn't bother to care about this, and in the end he was promoted on the spot. It turned out that Nanli's official was still an official, that is, the royal standard was revoked.
Even Nanmingli's fire army system is still in Nanli, and the commander is still veteran Xie Yuan. Now that there is great chaos, Nanli is under the management of veteran generals and city lords, protected by masters of all battles, making it difficult for bandits to enter, and has become a pure land.
There seems to be a faint posture of looking south and north... Of course, the Nanli people do not have this kind of willingness. Due to the constraints of the terrain, the Nanli people themselves have no pioneering spirit. Although the folk customs are sturdy, they have no ambitions. Always just want to protect their own home.
To a certain extent, Nanliren and Qin Yi have similar temperaments...
In contrast, the borders of the Western Wilderness have long been in chaos, and the tribes, big and small, are fighting endlessly. Nanli talents are too lazy to take care of it, and they have no spare energy.
As a matter of fact, Nanli died because the country was destroyed by accident, and it was not at all unpopular with the people. On the contrary, it died inexplicably when the people were striving forward and full of hope. This caused the people of Nanli to always love the royal family. It was still flying the Li Family King's Banner—in fact, if Li Qingjun insisted on going back to restore his country, there would be no problem at all.
As a result, the people of Nanli still respect Li Wuxian as the king, and envoys often go to Longyuan City to see him, and many palace maids and eunuchs went to Nanli Palace to take care of Li Wuxian. Manually.
This keeps her in close contact with her homeland.
Veteran Xie Yuan is actually not too old... In fact, he is less than sixty years old. It's just that a military general who goes to the battlefield is a typical veteran who is over fifty years old. When Qin Yi met him, he was in his early fifties and his hair was already gray. Now he is under sixty. He still looks hale and hearty, no different from a few years ago.
Unlike some professions called Internet writers, the pressure is not so great. It is said that it is thirty years old, but it looks like sixty.
"National teacher, why are you here again?" Xie Yuan looked at the wave after wave of Gan Guo people who got on and off the airship, and he really couldn't laugh or cry: "You have been transported back and forth a few times, and there will be a period after you just said your farewell, and I saw you back in a blink of an eye , are you making us happy?"
At the beginning, everyone saw Qin Yi still in tears, and when they saw him off, they left with tears in their eyes, saying: "National Teacher, don't worry, we will take care of the people you sent."
As a result, after several rounds of back and forth, everyone wanted to kill him. The former prime minister and the current city lord of Lihuo have left the residence... It was Xie Yuan who was more familiar with him and came to deal with him several times.
Qin Yi smiled apologetically: "Nanli has experienced repeated wars, and the population has not recovered, so it can be counted as adding some household registration..."
"Rely on you to transport people from village to village to add household registration?... Forget it." Xie Yuan crossed his hands and said, "The national teacher might as well have a meal here, and leave at night under the starry night, and there will be nothing much to do on the way ... Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to go back and forth here for several months."
"It's fine to eat, we have already provided..."
Before the words finished, Cheng Cheng pulled his sleeves: "Qin Yi, I want to eat."
Qin Yi rubbed his forehead: "Okay, please old general, those who make table plains, have more fruits."
Xie Yuan looked at Cheng Cheng meaningfully, and it took a long time before he said: "Master, you are so undisguised, it is very difficult for us... Do you want to praise you for being a gentleman, or do you want to kill you for others?"
Qin Yi was dripping with cold sweat.
Cheng Cheng blinked his eyes, pretending not to understand, and secretly made a victory gesture in his heart.
A mere human princess, wants to be a big wife in front of this king?
"Don't be like this..." Qin Yi grabbed Xie Yuan's shoulders and walked all the way to the city: "I will explain this to Qing Jun..."
Xie Yuan looked around and lowered his voice: "Did Princess Dachang really become a fairy?"
"Speaking of this, I'm curious. Why do you know about this? What the big frontier army said at the time? Do you believe it?"
"Hmm..." Xie Yuan smiled: "Generally speaking, we may not believe such things, but they said that you were there at the time, so we believed it. There are immortals and non-immortals in the world, and others don't know it, but we know it. It's a fairy."
"Ashamed, I'm still far from immortal."
The two chatted all the way, Cheng Cheng obediently followed beside him without saying a word, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
She never believed that there was any kind of loyalty in the world that could make someone like Xie Yuan, who was far away from the emperor and held a heavy army, who actually respected the queen from a distance and divided powers into the city lord, instead of being a real ruler herself. There is only one possibility, that is who Xie Yuan cares about, such as Qin Yi, or Li Qingjun who may return at any time.
Or to put it simply, people all over the country believe it, so if he wants to be ambitious, no one will accompany him, and the army may not be at his mercy in this matter.
From this point of view, the Li family is indeed still the uncrowned king, and there is actually a big factor in it because of Qin Yi.
Qin Yi is not one of those ethereal immortals who only have legends left. He often shows up in the world. Before that, he appeared suddenly to save Li Qingjun's aunt and nephew, and then interfered in the big work, giving people a feeling that he might appear at any time...
This fellow is not in Nanli, and his influence is still so great.
"Wait a minute." Qin Yi stopped suddenly: "There...is no one living here?"
Cheng Cheng turned his head and looked, but it was a rather large mansion with a plaque of "National Teacher's Mansion" hanging on it.
His former residence?
Xie Yuan laughed: "Who dares to occupy the mansion of the national teacher? What's more, this is the old mansion of the former king. Except for the residence where the national teacher was bestowed by him, others dare to occupy it, so as not to be bitten to death?"
Qin Yi looked up for a while, then said in a low voice, "You don't need to leave the room empty, you can distribute it to those who need it."
Xie Yuan smiled and said: "There are few people in Nanli, so let's talk about it when we are short of a house."
Qin Yi nodded and didn't go in again.
Looking at his expression, Cheng Cheng knew that Qin Yi had no feelings when he was in Nanli, but after the situation changed, and when he revisited again, old feelings came to his heart. Rather than feeling for Nanli, it's more about people. Seeing old things, I can always think of many things.
I'm not jealous at all, this is a nostalgic person, which makes people feel at ease.
The dinner was held in a nearby restaurant, and Xie Yuan didn't dare to bring the two of them home... It wasn't for any other reason, but because Cheng Cheng was too beautiful.
If the little bastards in the family have any thoughts, they really can't explain it, so it's better not to take it back to avoid trouble.
"Come on, this is the best Lihuo wine from Nanli, the national teacher...uh ma'am, try it."
Cheng Cheng took a sip, and his eyes immediately became bright.
delicious.
Sure enough, as the book said, the gourmet food in the world can be cooked to perfection, which is much more interesting than those in the demon city. The wine in Yaocheng choked, did people drink it?
"Qin Yi, I want that, what kind of fruit is that?"
Seeing her rare appearance as a little girl, Qin Yi pampered her head and handed over a fruit: "This is a persimmon, but I haven't seen it with you, try it."
It wasn't until this moment that Qin Yi realized that Cheng Cheng seemed to have never seen a lot of things. What kind of king was she, King of the Mountain?
