Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

His voice was a little choked, but he quickly adjusted himself and his expression became firm again.

"Lord Chang sent people to count the population and gather all the disaster-stricken people in Qizhou City. The disaster in the city was also quite severe, but it was much better than in the villages."

"The managers who went down to look for people can bring back 40 to 50 people. Some villages can't even bring back 10 people!"

At this point, his voice choked up again.

Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge were riding on horseback and couldn't help but sigh as they listened.

"After the Emperor learned about the situation in Qizhou, he immediately began to collect food and supplies. He originally wanted to come here in person, but the Emperor is the ruler of a country after all, and it is almost the end of the year, and he is busy with affairs, so he really can't get away. Our Seventh Prince volunteered to come here on behalf of the Emperor to provide disaster relief and stand with the people of Qizhou!"

Xiao Ruge spoke loudly so that the people of Qizhou who were clearing snow around could hear that the emperor had not given up Qizhou.

Although the emperor did not want to send anyone over at first, he could not say that, and he also had to maintain the emperor's face outside.

Hence the remarks just now.

And she also mentioned Mu Gu. Although he came on behalf of the emperor, it was Mu Gu's own request. Xiao Ruge made it very clear.

This was a secret way to build up momentum for Mu Gu, which would be beneficial to his future fight for the throne.

Mu Gu naturally knew the reason why Xiao Ruge mentioned him, so after she finished speaking, he asked about the situation in the city.

Speaking of the city, the steward sighed again, "At first, Lord Chang took us to borrow grain from the local gentry, but they all refused. Only two families were willing, and the rest found excuses to refuse."

"If they were willing to help, the situation in the city would be better than it is now, but... they are so cold-blooded and heartless!"

Thinking of the faces of those gentry, the young steward showed an angry look on his face, and it was obvious that he hated them very much.

As they were talking, everyone arrived at the city gate. Someone had already run back to inform Lord Chang, who was standing at the city gate waiting.

When he saw Mu Gu riding on horseback, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"Your humble servant Chang Yunfei greets the Seventh Prince!"

The people outside the city knew that a high-ranking official from the capital had arrived, but they didn't know who he was, so they all knelt down.

When they heard that the one riding the horse was the seventh prince of the current dynasty, they all started crying with excitement.

They were about to be crushed by the snowstorm, but now there is finally hope. They are happy but sad at the same time.

I was happy because we were finally saved, but I was sad because I would never see my relatives who died in the snowstorm again.

Mu Gu jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Lord Chang, and helped him up personally.

Looking at Lord Chang with sunken cheeks and dark circles under his eyes, Mu Gu sighed softly, "Lord Chang, you have worked hard!"

This sentence made Chang Yunfei's eyes red. Finally someone could understand his pressure and his efforts.

But he was the governor of a city after all. No matter how excited he was, he could not cry in public. After having people take over the food and supplies, he led everyone into the city.

Before entering the city, Chang Yunfei ordered people to cook porridge quickly, and make it thick!

Now that they have food, they no longer have to cook the thin porridge that is almost see-through.

Although there may still not be enough food, we must let the people have a good meal today!

Xiao Ruge followed Mu Gu silently. It was Mu Gu who was talking to Chang Yunfei the whole time.

Chang Yunfei told Mu Gu about the number of casualties in Qizhou. Because Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge arrived in time, the death toll was not as high as in the previous life, but it was close to half.

Mu Gu didn't say anything after hearing this, but the aura on his body became much heavier.

Even though it was already lunch time, he didn't rest. He quickly drank some porridge and asked Chang Yunfei to take him to the disaster-stricken area to check it out.

Xiao Ruge was assigned to the county magistrate's mansion.

At least there are houses here to keep out the cold, which is much better than sleeping in a tent before.

However, some of the buildings in the county magistrate's office had fallen into disrepair and many collapsed during the heavy snow.

Because Lord Chang often lives and eats in the county magistrate's mansion, his wife and children are also here, so the whole family is together.

However, due to the lack of food, the food in the county magistrate's mansion was not good. After cooking a pot of porridge, the couple would serve the thickest porridge to their son, and the couple would only drink some rice soup.

Looking at the thin Mrs. Chang, Xiao Ruge sighed and gave the last bag of snacks left in the bag to Mrs. Chang.

"Sir, you should keep it for yourself! There is no shop that makes snacks in Qizhou City anymore. This is a good thing!"

Mrs. Chang was a capable woman. When she saw that Xiao Ruge, a young man, brought snacks with him when he went out, she thought he was being pretentious.

So even though her son kept staring at the bag of snacks, Mrs. Chang still didn't take it.

Xiao Ruge smiled, "This is the only packet left. Give it to the child! Adults can eat whatever they want, but the child is still young."

After saying this, without waiting for Mrs. Chang to refuse, she stuffed the snacks into her son's arms.

Chang Junyuan looked up at his mother behind him. Although there was desire in his eyes, he did not open the package of snacks without permission, which showed that he had been taught very well.

Looking at her son's much thinner face, Mrs. Chang finally nodded and sighed softly.

"In that case, thank you very much, sir!"

"You're welcome!"

Xiao Ruge smiled at Madam Chang, and prepared to go out with Bai Song and Bai Yang to look for Mu Gu. Before they walked out of the door, Mu Gu and Chang Yunfei came back from outside.

The two of them had a bowl of porridge at noon. Although it was not yet time for dinner, they had been walking for the whole afternoon and were already hungry. When Mrs. Chang saw this, she immediately went to the kitchen to cook.

"How about it?"

Looking at Mu Gu's solemn expression, Xiao Ruge knew even without asking that the situation was probably not optimistic.

Sure enough, after hearing her question, Mu Gu shook his head with a sullen face.

"Houses all over Xicheng District collapsed. Because the ground was frozen, we couldn't dig pits to bury the dead. Those who died were burned, and those who were injured were all crowded in the City God Temple. There were doctors there to take care of them, but there was a lack of medicine, so many people had to endure it."

Having said that, Mu Gu's expression became even uglier. He looked at Xiao Ruge with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Xiao Ruge had already helped him a lot in this matter. She asked him to prepare food and coal in advance just for this day.

"I'll take care of this matter. I'll write a letter and have someone send it to Wuai Mountain in a moment."

Wuai Mountain is where Xiao Ruge's master lives in seclusion. In addition to the genius doctor Bianzhou, there are also several of Xiao Ruge's senior brothers and sisters.

She believed that as long as she wrote back, these senior brothers and sisters would definitely bring the medicinal herbs down the mountain.

"Thank you, Ruge!"

This was Mu Gu's original idea. Even if he couldn't invite the miracle doctor Bian Zhou, other doctors that Xiao Ruge knew would do.
