Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

The people who were pointed out by Emperor Kangping had different thoughts.

Some were expecting, some were wary, but more people wanted to see whether Zhou Jin could govern Qingshui County well.

Officials in the capital were also thinking about it.

Some of them were just thinking about it, but others quickly sent people to deliver letters to tell their "acquaintances" in Qingshui County.

Gu Xiling saw Zhou Jin coming in excitedly and asked, "Have the travel permits to Qingshui County in Yunzhou increased? How much?"

Zhou Jin replied, "My lady, you are right. The number of travel permits is 20% higher than last year. Another 10% of them are from caravans that returned to Qingshui County in advance, and another 10% are from families in the capital who have relatives in Yunzhou or Qingshui County. Of course, there are also some knights-errant."

Zhou Jin said as he handed the list to Gu Xiling.

Gu Xiling looked carefully and compared it with the pass list from this period last year. "Husband, did you find anything unusual?"

Zhou Jin replied: "I think those caravans that sent people back early all had problems."

"And then?" Gu Xiling asked again.

Zhou Jin thought for a moment, then said, "These rangers are most likely spies sent by Qingshui County. In addition, there are these people visiting relatives. It's just the New Year. Is it necessary to visit relatives? It can't be said that all of these people have problems. Some of them must have connections with Qingshui County."

Gu Xiling nodded, "These materials are very useful. Take them all with you. When we arrive in Qingshui County, Yunzhou, we can conduct targeted investigations."

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "My dear, you are really thoughtful."

Gu Xiling raised her eyebrows and smiled, her eyes sparkling with joy, "My husband has also thought of this. The trick of alerting the snake by stirring up trouble has already been put into action. The next step is for us to cast the net. The bigger the net, the more fish we will catch in the future."

Since she couldn't change where she was going, Gu Xiling quickly comforted herself.

Things are different now than in the previous life, and perhaps many different things will happen.

Gu Xiling, who has figured things out, can't wait to leave the capital and head to Qingshui County in the northwest.

While complaining quietly, Song prepared various things for her son and daughter-in-law.

Take it with you, take everything with you. When you get to the northwest, there are many things you can’t buy even if you want to.

Song was worried that Gu Xiling would dislike the bitter cold of the northwest and would not go there with Zhou Jin. Even if she went there, it would not last long and she would come back again.

Therefore, the Song family became more prepared.

I just hope that Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin can stay together in the Northwest. After all, they are married, but not pregnant.

One boy and half girl, no offspring.

If you separate again and don't live together in the future, it will be even more difficult to get pregnant.

Gu Xiling was touched by her mother-in-law's kindness and appreciated it.

She touched her belly quietly and chuckled.

Let’s not talk about this good news.

Because as long as she said she was pregnant, both her mother-in-law and Zhou Jin would let her stay in the capital.

Because she was pregnant and her child had to be at least one year old before she could set off for the northwest, she would not be able to see Zhou Jinxiao for two years.

This is secondary. She was worried that if she didn't go, Zhou Jin would not be able to get around in Qingshui County.

Many people underestimate the situation in Qingshui County. To sum it up in one sentence: poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.

But many people cannot imagine how poor Qingshui County is, how bad the water is, and how unruly the people are.

In short, we still can't be careless.

And most importantly, Gu Xiling doesn't want to stay in the capital. She wants to go out and experience the vast world.

Gu Xirong has been feeling uneasy, but now Xie Jin has accepted the imperial order and is willing to serve the country with loyalty, which is also filial piety, so Gu Xirong can also travel.

She came to the Changning Marquis Mansion with gifts.

Qingshui County was where Gu Xiling stayed in her previous life. It would be great if Gu Xiling could think about things in her previous life.

However, Gu Xirong soon gave up this expectation.

What if Gu Xiling thought of her past life and tried to snatch Xie Jin from her?

"Sister, let's go to Qingshui County together this time, and we sisters must help each other along the way." Gu Xirong said with a smile.

Gu Xiling sighed, "We must help each other. The mountains are high and the roads are long, and it's such a chaotic place. We can't go alone. But your child is young, can he adapt to the journey?"

Gu Xirong pondered for a moment, "The child is indeed young, but I don't want to be separated from my husband. This time, I will be away for several years. After being separated for so long, husband and wife are no longer like husband and wife, father and son are no longer like father and son, and we have become estranged."

"What's more, this time, the focus is on Zhou's brother-in-law, not Xie Jin. Your Majesty's arrangements are quite sufficient. There are some surprises, but no danger. We must make good use of such a good opportunity."

In the previous life, Gu Xiling was in the northwest because Xie Jin had his own army and was very powerful.

At that time, there were rumors in the court that Xie Jin was planning a rebellion, and Gu Xirong often cursed Gu Xiling and Xie Jin behind their backs for being wishful thinking.

Although the mountains are high and the roads are long, I did learn about the big things that happened in Qingshui County, Yunzhou from outsiders, my mother's family, and Zhou Jin.

However, Gu Xirong didn't know what exactly happened.

Fortunately, Xie Jin didn't go alone, Zhou Jin was also there. After all, the Changning Marquis' Mansion was in great momentum now.

Even if something happens, it will be Changning Marquis Mansion and Zhou Jin who will take care of it.

She and Xie Jin were cheering on the sidelines and picking up leaks.

Gu Xirong didn't get any useful information from Gu Xiling, but she started packing her luggage.

Half a month later, Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin set off.

Also accompanying him were Yuan Zhen and his wife Liu Sanniang, their biological daughter, and their adopted son from their eldest brother.

Wang Shiwen also brought his wife Pei Jiuniang and their only daughter, as well as the three-year-old child sitting next to Pei Jiuniang, who was also an adopted son.

As for the fact that Old Master Wang had married so many concubines, none of them were pregnant. When he learned that Yuan Zhen had adopted someone else's child, he let his wife decide and adopted a child whose parents had both died in the clan.

Gu Xirong also set off with her son.

Gu Xiling said to the team, "It will only take two months to reach Qingshui County. Let's go slow, after all, these are women and children."

If you drive slower, she won't feel it.

If she goes fast, she feels a little dizzy.

The wife of the Marquis of Changning has spoken, so of course we have to listen.

Pei Jiuniang thanked, "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law of the Zhou family. You were traveling too fast before. Not only could I not bear it, but even the children couldn't bear it."

Liu Sanniang also showed gratitude, "Yes, the children at home are still young, and they really can't be too bumpy."

Gu Xirong looked at the child in the nurse's arms and said, "Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Liu, you don't have to be polite. My sister is the kindest person."

Gu Xiling followed Gu Xirong's words and said, "Sister, you are too kind. When we get to Qingshui County, we will still help each other. Anyway, there is still time, so let's continue on our journey."

As for Zhou Jin, Xie Jin, Yuan Zhen and Wang Shiwen, because of the slow pace, they had more time to get to know Qingshui County.

Xie Jin frowned, "Sir, we will definitely not reach Qingshui County smoothly along the way. There will definitely be twists and turns along the way."

Yuan Zhen disagreed, "Thank you, General. I don't think this time will be the same as before. Let alone the 5,000 troops we transferred from the capital, the Yunzhou prefect and the military department are all our people. Those who get the news will only choose to lie low instead of confronting us head-on."

Wang Shiwen shook his head and retorted, "Yuan Zhen, don't underestimate those bandits. They have people behind them, and they have connections in both the black and white worlds. Those people even dared to kill the county magistrate. I think they will give us a warning."
