"General Geng, please get up... Since you are here, you must have received my message, right?"

"Yes……"

Geng Hu nodded, thought for a moment, took out a paper crane from his arms and handed it over tentatively.

"Is this... done by the princess?"

"Ah."

Seeing Keqing nod, Geng Hu's pupils shrank slightly.

"That's good……"

It turns out it really belongs to the princess.

Although he said that, his eyes kept looking at Keqing.

God knows how surprised I was to see a lifelike paper crane flying in front of me, especially when there were words on the paper crane.

Then he led me to find the way, otherwise he would not have found the princess without anyone leading him.

I heard that there are some extraordinary people in this world who have abilities like magic. Could this paper crane be one of them? I didn't expect that the princess would also have such magical powers.

The more he thought about it, the more shocked and excited Geng Hu became.

With such a master, the future may not be bad.

"That's good since we have enough people. General, please take the people to move the remaining food down the mountain..."

"Yes!"

Geng Hu saw the piles of food at a glance and respected Keqing even more. She was worthy of being a princess, as she could find such a large pile of food in such a short time.

And all those man-eating evildoers will be wiped out.

Judging from the state of death of those corpses, they were all killed in one blow, and there were very few signs of fighting around them. It can be seen how sharp the princess's methods were. No wonder those death warriors were so vulnerable that they surrendered one after another, and they were not even able to defeat a single enemy.

He knew that he couldn't do it. To deal with those strong and powerful bandit leaders, even he would have to put in some effort. It would be impossible to solve the problem so easily.

"You, take some people to move the food down..."

"Hold it firmly, be careful not to drop it..."

"Yes, General..."

Following Geng Hu's instructions, the soldiers quickly took action.

His strong body was majestic and powerful, forming a sharp contrast with the skinny and pale refugees next to him. The armor on their bodies collided with each other, making clanging sounds.

Their majestic and powerful appearance made the surrounding refugees feel timid. They watched them carry the food and leave, and dared not speak loudly.

Those are the imperial court’s troops!

I didn’t expect that my benefactor turned out to be a princess!

They had only seen that their benefactor was well-dressed, so they thought he was from a wealthy family. Furthermore, although he was young, he looked quite harmless, so they naturally ignored the other party's military strength and became bolder.

Who would have thought that the other party was not a young lady from a wealthy family, but a princess of the imperial court! She was a real noble who was tainted with the aura of God.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven, so aren't his princesses his granddaughters? Isn't that contaminated with the breath of God?

How dare they speak so loudly to such a noble person before? Some people even dared to point fingers presumptuously.

The change in identity and the powerful army made everyone subconsciously afraid.

For a moment, there was a sharp contrast and clear distinction between the guards and the refugees.

Keqing only ordered them to move the food and did not do anything else. Naturally, the soldiers would not do anything unnecessary and just carried the food honestly.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was a little tense, and the refugees held their breath and dared not breathe loudly.

"Hey... say something, why are you silent..."

"Shh...what do you want me to say."

The refugees whispered to each other, their eyes full of worry.

"You said that we have offended Xiao En... Princess, will we..."

"What will happen? It's none of my business. You just agreed with it. I didn't say anything."

Hastily distanced himself from the matter.

It was a whisper, and although the sound was low, Keqing could hear it clearly.

In general, they were worried about what would happen to them. After all, in the eyes of the refugees, those county magistrates were high above them and had authority over the country. They dared not even say a word, let alone fart.

But for what they just did, if it were the county magistrate, they would have been thrown into jail long ago.

So, everyone trembled, afraid that Keqing would do something to them.

This is also the attitude of the people nowadays. One can imagine what the attitude of the officials is towards the people under their rule.

However, Keqing had no intention of explaining. She just watched them with their minds full of confusion.

It would naturally take a long time to transport so much food. Fortunately, the caravan had already reached the foot of the mountain. The distance between the mountain and the foot of the mountain was not far, so it didn't take much time to get there.

But even so, it took people three or four hours from the evening to get busy, and the convoy became much longer before they finished.

"My Lord...it's already been completed, and the convoy is almost ready..."

The maid Yun Ling whispered in Keqing's ear, then skillfully tied up her loose bun.

Over there, the refugees discussed for a while and then

The man mustered up his courage and stepped forward to say something, but was stopped far away by the guards on the side.

"Don't come near!"

The soldiers looked serious and ferocious, which made the refugees afraid to move.

"Well, Master Jun, we just want to say a few words to Xiao En...Princess."

"Yes, yes..."

Several people hurriedly explained, but the soldiers would not listen to them.

Who knows what these refugees want to do? Although they don't know the details of what happened, they learned from a few words that these refugees were rescued by their princess. Who knew that this group of refugees would go even further and point fingers at the princess.

Fools are just fools, they don’t know how to be grateful at all.

The soldiers still had a natural arrogance and disdain towards these refugees, so they were even more displeased when they were disrespectful to the princess.

"This... please be flexible... we are really..."

"Don't hesitate, leave now!"

"what happened?"

Noticing there was a dispute, Keqing walked over.

Before the soldiers could say anything, those men quickly stepped forward. Although they were reserved and stuttered a little, they soon spoke a lot.

Keqing listened patiently.

There were only a few sentences going back and forth, and she understood the meaning of the words, which were about apologizing to herself and feeling guilty.

Afterwards, he brought several people and forced her to kneel in front of her and scolded her.

Keqing took a look and saw that the people kneeling were the ones who had argued with her and tried to stir up trouble before. Their loyalty had always been negative.

now……

It's a positive number instead?

Keqing blinked, not understanding why her loyalty had suddenly increased.

Is it because of the change in my identity?

Keqing seemed to be lost in thought as she watched the few people nodding and bowing, not understanding why they came over to talk to her like this.

However, looking into the distance, the refugees had timid expressions, which were completely different from before, and they seemed to be thinking about something.

Now that they know my identity, are they afraid of me?

Afraid of punishing them?

and so……

Not afraid of your own strength but afraid of your identity?

For the first time, Keqing felt that the identity of a princess might be more powerful than she had imagined...

At least, for the common people, superior military force will not make them afraid, but the superior status will make them obey naturally.

No matter how strong a person is, he is just one person, representing himself and has nothing to do with them.

However, the status of a princess represents the power and majesty of the court and the ruling class.

So...being in the oppressed class, they naturally submit to this.

Perhaps, I can make more use of my identity as a princess.

Keqing was thoughtful.

Chapter 551 Leaving (1 more)

Looking at the people in front of her smiling uncomfortably and with timid looks on their faces, Keqing felt a little bored.

"Don't worry, I don't intend to do anything to you."

After hearing what Keqing said, the leader finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Um, um...food."

"The food will remain the same as usual, 30 kilograms per person, no more, no less, and I will not take back the food you have allocated."

"Okay, that's good, thank you, thank you benefactor."

Keqing nodded vaguely, not wanting to delay any further.

She was not angry in the first place. Revenge was just an overthinking of these refugees. He would not take back the food that had been sent out. As mentioned before, thirty kilograms of food was enough for them to last for a long time.

No matter what they do after that, whether to stay here or go to Tongzhou Prefecture, it is their decision and she has no intention of interfering.

As for requiring them to go to Tongzhou Prefecture or something like that, she would not force them to do so.

Of course, based on her judgment of the surrounding environment, staying here is a dead end. The drought will continue and will not be curbed for a long time. Although there are still some plants on the back mountain, the roots have already turned yellow. I am afraid that the last bit of green will disappear soon.

As for water source, there is none. Without water, staying here would be a dead end.

"Let's go..."

After saying something to the maid, Keqing brought Yunling back to the convoy.

Of course, he did not forget to bring Tan Mingruo along. After all, he was a family member and would definitely go with him.

However, Daya, Erya and that woman asked to go with him and Tan Mingruo.

"You want to join us?"

"Ah, yes, that's right... My Lord Princess, is that okay?"

The woman said in a low voice.

"I'm alone with Da Ya and Er Ya. I'm afraid I can't protect them both."

"I heard you were going to Tongzhou Prefecture, so I wanted to take my daughter with you."

She quietly looked up at Keqing, then looked at Tan Mingruo beside her.

"I am very good at housework. I can serve tea, pour water, wash clothes, cook, etc. I can do it all! I beg the princess to give my mother and I a place to follow the motorcade."

With such a large team and my benefactor being such a powerful figure as the princess, if I follow them to Tongzhou Prefecture, the journey ahead will be much easier.

Even if there are any problems, such as illness or lack of water, there will be a guarantee...

At least in her opinion, the princess and Miss Tan would not be the kind of people who would stand by and watch someone die without helping.

A woman's heart

Well, Keqing saw it clearly, but she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

At least the other party was not like Wang Ergou and the others, who always used moral blackmail. Even if he had some ulterior motives, it was to protect himself and his daughter, so she nodded and agreed.

Then he ordered Yunling to arrange a carriage for Tan Mingruo, Daya and Erya.

Hearing that there was a carriage, the woman quickly shook her head to refuse.
