Chapter 174

Three people politely eat two bowls of rice, the weather is too hot, we all have no appetite, after dinner, early back to the room to rest.

The whole mansion is quiet in the scorching sun.

Towards night, Li Changting sent someone to send a message to situ Xiao. They were going out to meet their friends, and they would not eat in the house at night.

The three went out of the Marshal's house. Duanmu Xiang rented a carriage and drove the carriage to send the charcoal and Xu Qing's things to the backyard of his house. After unloading the goods, Xu Qing checked them a little.

The boss who sells charcoal is very worried. Of course, the goods are good goods. What he is afraid of is that these three people will not be bad people. If he cheated him out of charcoal and gave him no food, he is ready to kill people. For a moment, the boss wants to steal the food out of the door and run for his life!

Xu Qing quickly checked the goods and said to the boss, "go and see the dried vegetables I put on the table."

Boss: ha?

He wiped his sweat and walked to the stone table in the yard with his hands and feet shaking. There were more than ten packages of dried vegetables on the stone table, with their names written on them. The boss opened one of the packages, twisted a piece of dried radish and chewed it. Ah, it was delicious!

Xu Qing came over and said, "how much do you want? A kilo of dry cabbage is worth a kilo of rice. "

The weight of a kilo of dry vegetables is here. The boss thinks it's affordable. He selects several packages of vegetables he likes to eat and takes them apart one by one to taste. It's really delicious and fresh!

Finally, the boss happily took away 42 Jin of rice and 10 jin of dried vegetables, which can make him live frugally for several months!

As soon as the boss went out, he saw the young man with the fan behind him. He was scared to death.

"See you off." Duanmu rang, "lest you be robbed on the way."

The boss thinks this man is here to rob his food

He tightened the bag in his hand and almost ran home with a big stride. However, when he got home and was ready to close the door, the young man behind him had disappeared.

Here, Li Changting moves all ten sacks of charcoal and stoves into the room, while Xu Qing takes things into the room.

The dust in the room was very heavy. After putting things into the space, they took the door back to the yard, locked it and went to the inn.

Xu Qing and Li Changting go to the inn on the front foot, and Duanmu ring comes back on the back foot, along with three other strange men.

"General!"

"Call it boss."

"Forget it, boss!"

Li Changting said to Xu Qing, "Xu Tian, Zhao Qiang and Deng Zijun are my former subordinates. Now they are helping me collect some information in the capital. This is my wife, Xu Qing."

Xu Tian, who had known about Xu Qing's existence, immediately saluted respectfully and said, "I've seen you, madam."

Three people kneel down suddenly, scared Xu Qing to jump: "get up quickly, need not be like this."

Li Changting said, "sit down and talk about your respective situations."

Xu Tian said: "boss, we are all OK, but it's you who are far away in the mountains and forests. Do you have enough to eat? Is that enough? "

Li Changting didn't speak. Duanmu rang said, "enough, we have found many good places along the way. There is no shortage of water, clothes or food. Would you like to come with us?"

Li Changting: "let's talk about you first, Xu Tian. How long can food last at home?"

Xu tianzhengjin sat in danger: "probably Three months is enough. "

"And the two of you?" Li Changting looks at the other two.

"It's all about the same."

Zhao Qiang said: "boss, when everyone really has no food, the imperial court should open a warehouse to release food."

Li Changting: "it's time to run out of food. It's hard for the imperial court to tell whether you're alive or dead. I've settled the others. Now there are only three of you left. I'll give you two choices. Go to canglinggou or go back to the village with me."

Xu Tian: "what about Beijing? No one's watching here? "

Li Changting: "there will be a famine soon. Even if no one is looking at the capital, they can guess what may happen next. Don't worry about it. Take care of yourself first."

The three looked at each other, and finally Xu Tian asked, "boss, what does it mean to go to canglinggou?"

They will take the lead in thinking about canglinggou, because they are worried that if the eldest brother does not have enough food to eat, they will have to support them. Moreover, Changxi village is too far away, the road is hot, and the old people and children at home can't stand it.

Li Changting also considered this point before he proposed canglinggou. He said: "situ Xiao has encircled and suppressed the black cloud village. Since it can accommodate 30000 or 40000 people, there must be water. I went to see it. The water is underground, not deep, and sufficient. It's no problem to feed half the people in the capital."

"When everyone's food is running out, situ Xiao will force the people who have no food to move to the nearby heiyun village to grow their own food, so those who go early have more advantages. Situ Xiao is very good at fighting, but farming is half done. His idea is too simple. Since he wants to grow grain, the earlier the better. "

Xu Tian spread his brows and asked, "boss, now the black cloud stronghold is occupied by the army?"

Li Changting: "well, I guess situ Xiao himself will move to that place in the end. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. If he wants to make something fishy in it, no one can help him."Xu Tian, three people: "I'm not sure."

How to say like situ Xiao will rebel at any time?!

But in the past, the idea of planting land in canglinggou was really good. It was better than sitting in the mountains and eating nothing. Moreover, it was not so hot in the mountains as in the capital city. It should be cool to live in a cave.

Li Changting said, "if you agree, I'll take you there tomorrow and teach you how to plant grain and dig a cave. At that time, each of you will dig a big cave and plant grain directly in the cave. I have all the seeds here."

And with Li Changting, situ Xiao will take care of them in the future.

The main reason is that it's not easy for Xu Tian and his family to lead a family. Otherwise, Li Changting would throw them directly to the village with beard, which is the best place to live.

Xu Tian and they didn't disagree. The boss went to investigate for them. Naturally, there was no problem.

"Boss, before we go, we'll report the last intelligence to you." Deng Zijun, the most stable looking of the three.

Then there was a lengthy report on the government, the people's livelihood, officials, and the movements of those royal families.

Duanmu Xiang yawned and lay on the soft couch with his legs up. It seemed that he was about to fall asleep.

Xu Qing listened carefully, but because there was no cause and effect, he didn't quite understand.

She unscrewed the bamboo tube and poured a glass of water for each of them. When they mentioned king Lin, Xu Qing asked curiously, "how did king Lin die? Do you know the details?"

Xu Tian thanks Xu Qing and drinks two mouthfuls of water: "this is a long story. When it comes to the cause of king Lin's death, we have to first talk about the life experience of this fake Yu Yan."
