"Miss Xu just ask, Nie must know everything!"
"The leader of Nie stronghold came to yuan from Qingyun stronghold. It must be Jingyu County, jingling county and Xinghe area along the way -"
Stronghold leader Nie thought about it and nodded.
In order to avoid a direct encounter with the imperial court, if the other party wanted to be blind, he deliberately bypassed several heavily guarded places and took such a route.
Thinking, he looked at Xu Mingyi.
A female doll with a clear back of the terrain and route.
Then the girl asked, "can Nie stronghold leader tell me what he saw all the way? What are the conditions of these places and the situation of the people?"
She also asked people to go out of Linyuan city to secretly inquire about the situation nearby. The news she brought back really made her uneasy.
She wanted to hear what Nie stronghold leader saw along the way.
At the mention of this, Nie stronghold leader couldn't help sighing.
"Not very good..."
He roughly told Xu Mingyi what he saw.
Nature is bad.
Otherwise, how could he have expanded nearly 2000 people along the way?
If it weren't for being desperate, who would have followed him for a bite?
“……”
In the cold moonlight, listening to the hardships of these people, Xu Mingyi quietly clenched his fingers in his sleeve.
"Thank you for telling me."
She thanked and left here with ah Kui.
Looking at the girl's back, the black faced boy whispered, "Dad... Is this general Xu's granddaughter?"
"Why?" Nie stronghold leader squinted at his suddenly awkward son.
"Did you say before that you wanted to rob Miss Xu's family and make me the young lady of the stronghold..."
Looking at a son with a black face and a red face, the leader of the inner stronghold stared and shouted on the back of the boy's head.
Then he kicked the boy's ass again.
"You have to remind the Xu family to settle accounts with me, don't you? Dare to mention it again and see if I won't screw your head!"
Smelly boy, don't look where it is now!
Is this like a dream place!
"Isn't that what you said..." the young man wrongly rubbed half of his ass.
Stronghold leader Nie reached out and grabbed the boy's ear.
Isn't that what he said? Can he take it seriously?
He also said he would kill General Xu!
"What I said? Last time I said I was going to break your leg! Do you want me to call you now! Ah?!" he said, and his hand twisted his ears more.
"It hurts..." the boy cried in pain.
Nie Zhaizhu went back to the arranged camp while beating his son.
After the Duke of the town drank the sobering soup and went to sleep, Xu Mingyi took Xu Mingshi back to the city.
The already closed city gate opened slowly. Xu Mingyi rode in front and Xu Mingshi was behind. In front of him was a heavenly eye lying on the horse's back.
When the party entered the city, the soldiers guarding the city closed the gate again.
Listening to the heavy sound of the city gate closing behind him, Xu Mingyi's heart was heavy.
Linyuan city is now in good order. Once the gate is closed, the people don't have to worry about anything.
During the autumn harvest, my father also sent Xu Jiajun to help the people harvest and grow crops.
Although the temporary interruption of trade exchanges outside the city has some impact on the livelihood, at the same time, there is no need to pay grain to the government. Every household hoards grain in their hands. They have land and land. They are not afraid of not having enough to eat. Naturally, they are much more secure in their hearts.
She stayed in Linyuan city all day and saw a stable scene. Subconsciously, she more or less ignored the situation outside Linyuan city.
This night, Xu Mingyi stayed up almost all night.
There is a voice tossing and turning in my head - why hasn't the dog emperor died?
It's said that I can't even get out of bed, but I still keep that tone.
Recently, the imperial court has issued many new decrees
The emperor was a little crazy because of his illness. Looking at the recent situation, he was vaguely determined to catch up with the Yan king.
What do you use to make a net?
But it's just the people all over the world
Soldiers and horses are being mobilized everywhere to recruit troops and food.
And yesterday she heard a new news. After King Yan's subordinates killed the imperial envoy who went to Mizhou to preach punishment, there was an accident in King Jing's residence in Liangzhou.
There is no evidence at all. Just because Liangzhou is located in a key position, the emperor was afraid that King Jing would become the help of King Yan. The emperor only suspected and charged a mother's brother with conspiring with King Yan.
The soldiers and horses in King Jing's hands have been taken back by the imperial court. Now the people in King Jing's house are escorting to the capital for punishment.
Guilty
What a ridiculous word.
Xu Mingyi's mind was full of thoughts and failed to relax for a moment.
She suddenly sat up from bed.
The window is only dimly lit.
She was barefoot in bed and dressed. Ah Zhu, who was guarding the outside, heard the news and came in.
"Is the girl going to get up and practice arrows?"
More than half an hour earlier than usual.
"Don't practice arrows today." Xu Mingyi, wearing an indigo robe, raised his hand and held out the full head of green silk pressed behind him. "Let uncle Zhu take some people out of the city with me."
Ah Zhu didn't ask much why she suddenly wanted to leave the city. She just came down and immediately went to find her father.
Ah Kui quickly brought in a basin to serve Xu Mingyi.
He simply used the morning food. Xu Mingyi asked someone to leave a word for his family, then went out of the city and rode south.
I walked and stopped all day.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhu Xiu proposed to settle down in a small town in front of him.
Xu Mingyi nodded his head. In his mind were the refugees begging along the road he saw all the way today.
"The subordinates of this town have been here before. I remember there is an inn in the street ahead." when they entered the town, the horses of the party slowed down.
"Was it like this here before?" Xu Mingyi sat on his horse, walked slowly, looked around and asked Zhu Xiu.
Zhu Xiu knew what she was asking. After a slight pause, he replied, "I remember this street was busy in the past."
The day was not completely dark. Looking at the streets, there were almost no people, and most of the shops facing the street were closed, not to mention the figure of vendors.
In this way, they are particularly eye-catching when walking in the street, and the sound of horse hoofs is particularly ear-catching.
Xu Mingyi looks up to the front. A wine shop seems to be open. Maybe he can ask one or two questions.
However, before they could come forward, they heard the sound of closing the door in a hurry.
As she closed the door, she heard a man's voice say something low and anxious——
"Hurry... Close the door, the official is coming again!"
Zhu Xiu listened, too.
When these people heard the sound of horses' hoofs, they would be the people of the government. When they arrived, they dared not open the door, just like a bird frightened by a bow.
He guessed: "I've heard that the local government collects a lot of grain from the people, and some places even break into houses. Take what you have."
Take as much as you have
Xu Mingyi straightened the corners of his mouth.
This is not taking, but robbing.
At this point, she realized another difference.
"Does uncle Zhu think there is something wrong here?"
