The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 227 The fight started

Wu Zongyu is like a tortoise; he only moves when poked, but he does have abilities.

He carried out Zheng Xun's instructions very well.

Even though he didn't know if Pang Yunyi could come, he still included the soldiers of the Southern Garrison in his plan.

Although he hadn't been involved in much affairs before, in the few days Zheng Xun was away, he had actually figured out the population of each region and determined the number of people to be sent out based on the different terrains and customs of each place.

Moreover, he had even prepared all the supplies and materials his soldiers would need for their long journey.

You should know that he doesn't have a system to help him filter information.

Pang Yunyi realized that he didn't even need to use his brain; he only needed to assign people according to Wu Zongyu's instructions.

He never expected that the first person to make him feel reliable and secure would be Wu Zongyu.

Seeing his subtle expression, Wu Zongyu stopped his busy work of searching for documents.

"But what difficulties are there?"

Pang Yunyi shook his head repeatedly: "I never expected that Lord Wu would be so reliable when he got serious."

He stopped calling him "Old Wu" with a teasing tone and even added a touch of respect in his voice.

admire?

Wu Zongyu shook his head, feeling that he had become delusional from being so busy.

Does that bastard Pang Yunyi even know how to pronounce the word "respect"?

"Don't try to sweet-talk me. The princess has sent the Water Guards over. Are your men reliable? Be careful you don't end up being suppressed and unable to hold your head up."

His concerns are not unfounded, and may not be without reason.

It's really hard to feel at ease with such an unreliable leader as Pang Yunyi in Nanwei.

Pang Yunyi chuckled: He's thinking of me, there's hope!

"Don't worry, I, Pang Yunyi, may not be good at anything else, but my ability to lead troops is first-rate. They would never dare to be negligent in the slightest when it comes to such a major event as an earthquake!"

As he spoke, his gaze toward Wu Zongyu held both admiration and covetousness.

Wu Zongyu got goosebumps from his stare.

Don't look at me like that!

"Hehe, I just didn't realize before that you, Lord Wu, are quite a talent."

This kind of talent should be put in charge of logistics.

It would be nice to have someone who could handle everything perfectly while I was fighting on the front lines.

Wu Zongyu found him utterly baffling.

Seeing that it was time for a meal, his expression relaxed, and he tossed the official document in his hand back onto the table.

I'm hungry.

He ran quickly to the door, his steps so light they seemed to leap.

Thinking he could get closer to him, Pang Yunyi quickly chased after him.

Wu Zongyu was in a good mood and was happy to talk to him.

"Sigh, I really hope to finish this quickly. Today is another day when I'm eagerly looking forward to retirement."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, poured over Pang Yunyi's head.

Oh right, he almost forgot, Wu Zongyu was an incredibly lazy bum, the kind of person who was so lazy that even the pigs at the village entrance who slept from morning till night would call him their ancestor.

If things don't escalate to his face, he can act as if nothing happened.

For someone who is so unwilling to get involved in anything, the only person who can motivate him right now is Princess Yuanjia.

However, even if he can't be ordered around, he can complain to the princess!

Since the princess can control him, it's equivalent to Pang Yunyi being able to subdue him.

But if he wants the princess to speak up for him, he'll have to perform well.

Since trying to get close to Wu Zongyu was pointless anyway, he decisively abandoned him and went to find his own soldiers.

He must make sure his subordinates perform well so that he can win the princess's favor!

……

Zheng Xun quickly washed up, changed into clean clothes, and then hurriedly ate a full meal.

She knew very well that this was likely the only peaceful meal she would have for the foreseeable future.

The common people will not easily believe her prophecy; they will only think, like You Botao, that she is joking around.

Questions and objections will come one after another.

She is about to face unprecedented pressure.

The next day, Lü Mengying led the Shui Lin Guards to the Tingzhou government office.

Wu Zongyu settled them next to the camp of the South Guard, mainly for his convenience in managing them.

He knew very well that although the Southern Guard and the Water Guard were not irreconcilable enemies, their relationship was not exactly good either.

However, half of the soldiers of the Southern Guard had already dispersed to various parts of Tingzhou as he had arranged, so arranging the two camps together would not cause any major incidents.

What he didn't expect was that while the people below were all fine, the Water Lin Guard Commander Che Zhong'an clashed with Pang Yunyi.

At that time, Che Zhong'an was on his way to visit Zheng Xun when he happened to run into Pang Yunyi.

The latter is a sarcastic person who loves to make sarcastic remarks to everyone he meets.

So he seized on the fact that Che Zhong'an was bald at the age of thirty and made a few sarcastic remarks.

Che Zhong'an was never a good-tempered person to begin with, and Pang Yunyi immediately hit a nerve.

He tolerated the first sentence, but Pang Yunyi had a second one.

By the third sentence, he finally couldn't help but raise his fist.

Pang Yunyi is no pushover who won't fight back.

The two exchanged punches and kicks, their tempers escalating with each blow.

Upon receiving the news, Wu Zongyu rushed over to mediate: "Stop fighting! Can't you talk things out? You're all colleagues, why make things so ugly?"

Pang Yunyi suddenly looked at him: "Which side are you on?"

"I'm not taking sides, ancestors! Please stop fighting! If the princess finds out..."

Before he could finish speaking, he met the fierce gazes of the two men.

Alarm bells rang in my mind, and I quickly shut my mouth.

He guessed correctly; in their eyes, his "not taking sides" meant he wasn't on their side.

If they're not allies, then they're enemies.

Since they are enemies, whether we fight one or two, it's still fighting, so we might as well take them all out at once.

Wu Zongyu dared not persuade him any further. He turned to the guard beside him and said, "Why aren't you pulling him away? What are you standing there for?"

The guard said with difficulty, "Sir, it's not that we don't want to break up the fight, but we really can't. Commander Pang and General Che are masters of combat, and any of us who go now will only get beaten up."

Wu Zongyu strongly suspected that this was an excuse from the guards, but the guards could only shout that they were wronged in the face of his questioning.

"You all come together."

"It's no use even if we all attack together..."

Wu Zongyu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his face: "You all know how to bluff me!"

"I wouldn't dare!"

The commotion they were making finally caught Zheng Xun's attention.

She was recalling her world's emergency response methods for earthquakes.

She plans to compile this knowledge into a book, ideally so that the locals can memorize it.

Although we desperately want natural disasters to happen, we have no choice but to prepare for them...

However, as Pang Yunyi and Che Zhong'an's conflict escalated, Wu Zongyu, fearing trouble, had no choice but to send someone to ask her to intervene and uphold justice.

Helpless, Zheng Xun could only put down his pen: "Let's go see what's going on."
