Wishful Things

"Ms. Xu just ask, Nie will know everything!"

"Master Nie came to Yuan from Qingyun Village, and he must have passed through Yu County, Jingling County, and Xinghe along the way—"

Village Master Nie thought about it and nodded.

In order to avoid confronting the imperial court head-on, if he danced under the opponent's nose, the opponent could not pretend to be blind, so he deliberately avoided several heavily guarded places, and he took such a route.

Thinking about it, he looked at Xu Mingyi.

A female doll who can clearly recite the terrain and route backwards.

Then, I heard the girl ask: "Master Nie, can you tell me what you have seen along the way, what is the current situation in these places, and what is the situation of the people?"

She also asked people to come out of Linyuan City to secretly inquire about the surrounding situation, and the news brought back really made her feel uneasy.

She wanted to hear Village Master Nie's journey and what he saw along the way.

Mentioning this, Village Master Nie couldn't help but sigh.

"Not so good..."

He roughly told Xu Mingyi what he saw.

Nature is bad.

Otherwise, how could he have gained nearly 2,000 people along the way?

If it wasn't because he was desperate, and there was really no other way, who would follow him just for a bite of food?

"..."

Under the cold moonlight, hearing the hardships of these people, Xu Ming unconsciously clenched the fingers in his sleeves.

"Thank you, Village Master Nie, for letting me know."

She thanked her and left here with Ah Kui.

Looking at the back of the girl leaving, the black-faced boy asked in a low voice: "Father... is this the granddaughter of General Xu's family?"

"What?" Village Master Nie squinted at his son who suddenly felt awkward.

"Did you say before that you want to snatch the girl from the Xu family to be my wife, Mrs. Yazhai..."

Looking at his son with a black face and red face, Village Master Nie glared, and slapped the back of the boy's head with his ear.

Immediately afterwards, he kicked the boy's ass again.

"You have to remind the Xu family to settle accounts with me, right? If you dare to mention this again, I'll see if I screw your head!"

The brat doesn't even look at where he is now!

Does this seem like a place where dreams can be made?

"Didn't you say that..." The young man rubbed his butt that hurt from being kicked aggrievedly.

Village Master Nie reached out and grabbed one of the boy's ears.

Isn't he able to talk, can he take it seriously?

He even said he wanted to kill General Xu!

"What did I say? Last time I said I was going to break your leg! Do you want me to call you now! Ah?!" As he said that, his subordinates twisted their ears harder.

"It hurts, hurts..." the boy cried out in pain.

Village Master Nie went back to the arranged tent while beating his son.

After Zhen Guogong drank the hangover soup and fell asleep, Xu Mingyi took Xu Mingshi back to the city.

The city gate that had been closed for a long time was slowly opened, Xu Mingyi was riding in front, Xu Mingshi was behind, and there was a Tianmu lying on the horse's back in front of him.

A group of people entered the city, and the soldiers guarding the city closed the city gate again.

Hearing the heavy sound of the city gate closing behind him, Xu Mingyi's heart sank.

Linyuan City is now being governed in an orderly manner. Once the city 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 the crops.

Although the temporary severance of trade with the outside of the city has somewhat affected the livelihood, but at the same time, there is no need to pay the government for food. Every household has food in their hands, and there is land and land. They are not afraid of not being full, and their hearts are naturally much more secure.

She stayed in this Linyuan City all day long, and all she saw was a stable scene, subconsciously, she more or less ignored the situation outside Linyuan City.

That night, Xu Mingyi almost stayed up all night.

There is a voice that turns over and over again in his mind - why is the dog emperor still alive?

I heard that I can't even get out of bed, but I still hold on to that tone.

Recently, the imperial court issued many new decrees...

The emperor probably went crazy due to illness, but looking at the recent situation, he had a faint determination to fight the king of Yan to the death.

What to use to make the network?

But still the people of the world...

Soldiers and horses are being mobilized everywhere, and soldiers and food are being recruited.

And yesterday she heard a new piece of news, after King Yan's subordinates beheaded and killed the imperial envoy who went to Mizhou to pass the decree to punish the crime, something happened to Prince Jing's Mansion in Liangzhou.

There is no evidence at all, just because Liangzhou is located at a critical point, fearing that King Jing would become King Yan's helper, the emperor accused a brother of a mother and compatriot on the charge of colluding with King Yan for treason based on suspicion.

The soldiers and horses in King Jing's hands have been taken back by the court, and now everyone in Prince Jing's mansion is on their way to the capital for punishment.

punish...

How ridiculous and absurd these two words are.

Xu Mingyi had so many thoughts in his head that he couldn't relax for a moment.

She sat up suddenly from the bed.

The window is still only dimly lit.

She got off the bed with bare feet and put on her clothes. Ah Zhu, who was guarding the outside room, heard the movement and came in.

"Miss, do you want to get up and practice archery?"

It was half an hour earlier than usual.

"I won't practice arrows today." Xu Mingyi wore an indigo robe, raised his hand to hold out his hair full of black hair, and said, "Let Uncle Zhu bring a few people and follow me out of the city."

Ah Zhu didn't ask why she suddenly wanted to leave the city, she just came down and immediately went to find her father.

Ah Kui quickly came in with a basin to wait for Xu Mingyi to wash up.

After simply eating breakfast, Xu Mingyi asked someone to leave a message for his family, and then he left the city, and the group rode southwards.

Stop and go all day.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhu Xiu suggested going to a small town ahead to rest.

Xu Mingyi nodded, thinking of the refugees begging along the road that he saw today.

"My subordinates have been to this town before, and I remember that there is an inn on the street in front." Entering the town, the horses of the group slowed down.

"Is this the way it used to be here?" Xu Mingyi sat on the horse and walked slowly, looked around, and asked Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu knew what she was asking, and after a slight pause, she replied, "I remember that this street used to be quite lively."

However, it is not completely dark yet, and there are almost no people on the street, and most of the shops facing the street are closed, not to mention the presence of street vendors.

In this way, their group was very eye-catching when they walked on the street, and the sound of horseshoes was particularly eye-catching.

Xu Mingyi raised his head and looked forward, a wine shop seemed to be still open, maybe he could ask about it.

However, before they had time to step forward, they heard the sound of hastily closing the door.

When the door was closed, she faintly heard a man's voice whispering anxiously——

"Quick... close the door quickly, the official messenger is here again!"

Zhu Xiu also listened.

When these people heard the sound of horseshoes, they thought it was someone from the government who had arrived, but they didn't dare to open the door, like frightened birds.

He guessed and said: "I heard that the government in this area collects a lot of food from the people, and in some places even breaks into the houses of the people, taking as much as they have."

Take as much as you have...

Xu Mingyi pursed his lips.

This is not taking, but grabbing.

And speaking of this, she realized another strangeness.

"Uncle Zhu, do you think there's anything wrong with this place?"
