Chapter 1247

In the rustling autumn wind, the withered and yellow leaves on the tree are falling down. The fields, roadsides, mountains, whatever plants are basically withered.

Ye jiuying and Lin Xun are very anxious. They can't help looking for Li Jun again. Li Jun asked, "Mr. Li, I don't know when we can enter the city?" He has been looking for Li Jun every day for more than ten days. Fortunately, Li Jun had the same experience, can understand his mood, not impatient.

Li Jun shook his head and said, "I don't know that either." In fact, he knew that Liu Tienan didn't mean to let ye jiuying and other victims into the city. He didn't say that he didn't want to see people look desperate.

Ye jiuying was also very worried and said, "Mr. Li, it's autumn now, and there's nothing to dig and eat in the wild." There was not much food in the city, so they were only fed with wild vegetables. Now we can't dig any wild vegetables, and there is little food left. In this case, people are naturally more and more flustered.

Lin Xun added: "it's getting colder and colder now. Everyone's body can't stand it any more." Entering Linzhou city is their only hope.

Li Jun still said, "I will relay your words to our general."

Ye jiuying and Lin Xun return to the wooden shed where they live. Lin Xun some worry ground says: "nine Lang, I see this appearance, they won't let us enter the city."

Ye jiuying had expected it, and said: "although the plague on our side has been controlled, it has not been solved. Under such circumstances, how is general Liu willing to let us into the city? " That is to say, but there are still expectations in my heart.

Lin Xun said: "if you can't go to the city, how can you spend this winter?" Even if they would be given food, they would not be able to survive the ice and snow.

Ye jiuying said: "don't expect to go to the city, but I think they should send us some cotton padded clothes and trousers."

Lin Xun said with a bitter smile: "I also believe that they will send us materials for the winter. But after winter, what about next year? What about next year? They can't give us food and drink all the time. "

Ye jiuying was silent and said, "let's talk about it next year." He has no better way.

Lin Xun said: "the imperial court doesn't care whether we live or die. Only when we enter Linzhou city can we survive." No matter what the cost, he will go to the city.

Ye jiuying did not know this truth. It's just that they can enter Linzhou city if they want to.

In the middle of the night, Li Jun came to find ye jiuying and Lin Xun and said, "our general wants to see you."

There was a flash of light in ye jiuying's eyes. Without asking what it was, he nodded and said, "good."

The two men went up to the tower through the hanging basket. Looking at the soldiers upstairs, ye jiuying and Lin Xun are envious. Although these people are ordinary soldiers, they are not as precarious as they are.

After getting off the tower, they got into the carriage and walked for more than a quarter of an hour before the carriage stopped. Then they followed Li Jun into a courtyard with three steps and one post and ten steps and one sentry. You don't need to ask. This heavily guarded courtyard must be the residence of General Liu.

A kerosene lamp was burning in the room, which made Liu Tienan's figure long. Ye jiuying and Lin Xun entered the room and threw fists at Liu Tienan: "I've seen General Liu."

Liu Tienan saw that they didn't flinch and nodded secretly. Liu Tienan said: "I've heard Li Jun mention the names of the two heroes. I've long wanted to see you, but I've been delayed."

Looking at Liu Tienan's attitude, ye jiuying felt a little relaxed: "General Liu is over praised. What kind of heroes are we. Only the Lord and the general can you be worthy of the word hero. "

Liu Tienan laughed and said, "I can't say that. I can't compare with Wang Ye."

Ye jiuying said hastily, "I'm clumsy. Please forgive General Liu for my mistakes." He also had extravagant ideas, but he didn't want to screw up the meeting.

Liu Tienan waved his hand and said, "I'm a big old man, too. If you have anything to say, don't be stiff."

As soon as they sat down, one of them came in with a basin of steamed buns, while the man behind was holding a pot of hot water.

Looking at the hot buns, ye jiuying and Lin Xun can't help swallowing a saliva. From the disaster to now, they don't know what steamed stuffed bun tastes like.

Liu Tienan said: "these are mutton buns made by cooks. They taste authentic." Finish saying, oneself took a steamed bun from inside, gnawed a mouthful greatly.

Gu Li put the steamed stuffed bun between them, and then retreated to Liu Tienan's side.

Ye jiuying and Lin Xun look at each other, and then they impolitely reach for steamed stuffed buns to eat. The two of them ate eight steamed stuffed buns with big fists.

After eating enough, ye jiuying drank another glass of water, and then said to Liu Tienan, "General Liu, can we take the rest of the steamed stuffed buns?"

Although life is better now, Liu Tienan has never forgotten his hard years in Yucheng. Liu Tienan said with a smile, "do you want to take it home to your wife and children?"

Ye jiuying is not embarrassed: "I want my parents and children to have a taste. They haven't been contaminated with meat for more than half a year."

Liu Tienan nodded and said, "you can take them all away later."

Because Lin Xun was worried about his wife and children, he asked, "General Liu, I don't know when we can enter the city."

Liu Tienan took a look at Lin Xun. He was a little upset. But it's understandable to think about the situation outside. Liu Tienan said: "there is no secret talk in front of the Ming people. Our princess is kind-hearted and asks me to help you, but I am determined not to let you into the city. I believe you know why. "

Lin Xun said: "General Liu, only a few people are infected with the plague. The rest of the people are normal. Even if they enter the city, there is no obstacle."

Liu Tienan's eyes are sharp: "I am responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Linzhou city."

Lin Xun was in a hurry and said: "General Liu, it's going to be winter soon. If they can't go to the city, they will all freeze to death. General Liu, you can't wait for help. " But they put all their hopes for survival on Princess Ming and Liu Tienan.

Gu Li snorted: "you should talk to the imperial court and Yan Wushuang. When you are in disaster, it is the responsibility and obligation of the imperial court and Yan to help you. If it's not for the princess's kindness, no one can blame us if we don't help her. " These people are really pushing ahead.

Ye jiuying see Lin Xun also say, afraid of self defeating, busy drink Lin Xun, don't let him say.

Lin Xun red eyes, said: "nine Lang, if not into the city, not only my daughter-in-law and two children are likely not to live, uncle and aunt and nephew they also can't endure." The man has tears, but not to the sad place. He did his best to let his parents and his wife and children live until now, but for such a long time, their bodies have been very weak, it is difficult to survive this winter. What's more, even if we survive this winter, what about next year? Next year, where will they go.

Ye jiuying looks gloomy.

Lin Xun looks at Liu Tienan and pleads: "General Liu, can't you let old people and children into the city?"

Liu Tienan shook his head and said, "last month you only had more than 3000 people, but how many people are outside the city now? Once the elderly and children are allowed to enter the city, there will be more victims. We don't have much food. We can't help so many people. " After the news that they sent grain to ye jiuying spread, many more victims came. Pestilence is terrible, but it is better than starvation.

Ye jiuying's heart trembled, which means that food may no longer be supplied: "General Liu, if there is no food, nearly ten thousand victims outside the city will die."

Liu Tienan said with a bitter smile: "it's not that I don't help, it's that we can't help. You should have heard that several of our places have also suffered from disasters this year. All the food we give you comes from our mouths. "

Hearing this, Lin Xun knelt on the ground: "General Liu, please give us a way to live."

Liu Yongnan didn't say a word.

Seeing this, ye jiuying had to ask, "General Liu, why did you call me and ah Xun here this time?" No matter, Liu Tienan won't summon them.

Originally, ye jiuying wanted Liu Tienan to bring it up first, and then bargain. But he didn't expect Lin Xun to be too anxious and upset his plan.

Liu Tienan looked at ye jiuying admiringly and said, "there is one thing for you to do. If you promise me, you can let your family go to the city. I can even guarantee that they have enough food and clothing. "

Lin Xun said: "as long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water." For the sake of his parents, his wife and children, even if he wants to die.

Liu Tienan said his request.

Ye jiuying was shocked. He never thought that Liu Tienan would ask him to go back to Jinzhou to rebel. Since ancient times, nine out of ten rebels will die. After a long time, ye jiuying came back and asked, "what does the princess mean?" Liu Tienan is just a general. He can't think of such a sinister way.

Liu Tienan said: "it doesn't matter who means it, but whether you are willing or not?" Liu Yongnan thinks that this method is very good. He can consume the military strength of the imperial court without sending troops.

Without waiting for ye jiuying to reply, Lin Xun said eagerly, "yes, we do. I've long wanted to kill those dog officials. " If these officials did not act, they would not have fallen into this field.

Lin Xun sees that Liu Tienan doesn't answer his words, but looks at ye jiuying. He immediately grabbed ye jiuying's arm and asked, "Jiulang, what are you hesitating about? Promise If you agree, you can make a living for your family. If you refuse, you will die.

Ye jiuying ignored Lin Xun, but asked Liu Tienan: "can you settle our family, the others?"

Liu Tienan didn't cheat ye jiuying, saying: "we will help them and provide them with materials for the winter. We can't do anything else. "

Gu Li added: "in order to help them, we have also tightened our belts. For this, the princess also got a lot of people's complaints. "

Ye jiuying was silent.

Liu Tienan said, "if you don't want to, we won't force it." If you are not willing, you can't use it even if ye jiuying has the ability.

Ye jiuying is not unwilling, but he has concerns: "if we die, what will my parents do?"

Liu Tienan said: "you can rest assured that even if you have an accident, we will follow them." After a pause, Liu Tienan said: "the children left by the soldiers who died in the war are well taken care of. Nowadays, many of them have grown up. " These things are not confidential. People who are a little well-informed have heard of them.

Ye jiuying nodded and said, "OK, I promise you."

The worst is to die in Jinzhou, but parents and children can survive. If they are lucky enough to survive, they will be able to make a better life for their families after they have made contributions.

"You can choose some helpers when you go back, but not more than twenty." If there are more people, they will be more conspicuous. Only 20 will be enough.

Ye jiuying asked: "then their families should also be able to enter the city?"

Liu Tienan nodded and settled down these people's homes, so they would be relieved to work hard. Liu Tienan said: "before you leave, you should settle down the outside affairs. We will talk about the details next time."

Now that he has decided, ye jiuying will stop pinching: "OK." In troubled times, there is no way to survive without fighting.

Gu Li said: "ye jiuying is a calm man. Comparatively speaking, that Lin Xun is worse. "

Liu Tienan thinks what he said is nonsense. If Lin Xun is more powerful than ye jiuying, can ye jiuying still be in charge?

Yunqing understood ye jiuying's life and temperament, and said to Yuxi, "this man can use it, but I don't know if he will fight?"

Yuxi said: "he used to be just an ordinary soldier, should not know how to fight?"

Yun Qing knocked on the table and said, "if this person knows how to fight, I don't have to send someone else to go there." See Yuxi face dew doubt, cloud engine said: "I don't want to give people a handle." Ye Jiulang was originally from Jinzhou, and his rebellion can well cover up the past. If they send someone, it will show the trace.

Yuxi didn't care what outsiders thought. He said, "He Rui, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy." If they lose, the winner will certainly make them heinous. If they win, it won't go down in history.

With these words, Yuxi gently shook his head and said: "in fact, ye jiuying and Yan Wushuang can quickly find out that they are sent by us." Yan unparalleled well-informed, these things can not hide him.

Cloud Qing silent next way: "the person I will consider carefully."

Yuxi nodded with a smile and said, "don't worry, you can choose slowly." After a period of time, those ordinary people who don't eat and can't survive will surely rebel.

Meilan brought a dish of orange persimmon and said, "prince, princess, this is just from the people below. I've just tasted one. It's delicious. " The fruits sent to Yuxi were carefully selected.

Yuxi looked at Yunqing and said with a smile, "I haven't eaten persimmon cakes for a long time. Let master Fang make some persimmon cakes." Master Fang is the pastry master Yunqing found for Yuxi. Since master Fang came, the number of times Yuxi ate cakes has increased significantly.

Cloud Qing peeled one to eat, and nodded after eating: "well, it's really good." It's sweet, greasy and delicious, which Yunqing likes.

Yuxi has not finished eating one of them. Yunqing has eaten four of them, and is about to take the fifth one. Yuxi stops them: "it's hard to digest. You can't eat any more." Cloud engine encounter like to eat things don't know temperance, said many times are useless, this let Yuxi very helpless.

Yun Qing had to put down the persimmon in his hand.
