Jiang Ci looked at Huanying.

"How is the situation over there with King Qi?"

Huan Ying replied respectfully: "Since the incident involving the Gu family was handed over to the three divisions for trial, although the overt evidence has not been found on King Qi, it has been pointed at King Qi in the dark. In addition, the Queen and the Third Prince's group have tried their best to add fuel to the flames. Your Majesty King Qi has already developed murderous intentions. King Qi secretly escaped from the capital not long ago and has now returned to the fiefdom of Tongzhou."

Jiang Ci pondered for a while: "King Qi has been planning for a long time. After returning to his fiefdom, he will definitely recruit troops and horses. His fiefdom is adjacent to Nanyang Mansion. King Qi will definitely want to win over King Wuling's power and find a way to connect the two states. The water will be completely muddied, and it is best to trigger a small-scale melee. Only if the two sides are like water and fire will it be beneficial to us."

Huan Ying immediately accepted the order: "Yes, I will make arrangements right away."

After Huanying left, Jiang Ci sat in the pavilion and thought for a moment.

"Ignorance!"

The ignorance that was hiding in the darkness immediately flew over.

"What's your master's order?"

Jiang Ci's cold eyes fell lightly on Wu Ming's respectful face.

"Now that you know my identity, you should know what I will do in the future."

Wu Ming immediately knelt down in front of Jiang Ci.

He raised his head, his eyes clear and firm.

"Since I was a child, I have often heard my father and brother talk about General Feng, praising him for his dedication and loyalty. Half of the land in the Sui Dynasty was conquered by the Feng family. Although I don't know the truth behind the execution of the entire Feng family. , but my subordinates believe that the Feng family has no intention of rebellion."

It's just that his great achievements aroused the emperor's suspicion.

Since the disappearance of the Feng family, both the Wuling Prince's Mansion and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion have become a major hidden danger in His Majesty's heart.

Now that the man from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has died for his country, the man sitting in the high hall may not have a trace of sadness in his heart, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't say these words in front of his master. After all, his master was the son of the dog emperor.

Jiang Ci looked at Wu Ming with a deep look in his eyes: "Are you still following me now?"

Wu Ming's eyes were firm: "I swear to be loyal to His Highness to the death!"

"Okay, the remnants of the Zhenbei Army have now retreated to Chiyang. They should not become the dead souls of His Majesty because of his ignorance and incompetence. You bring a group of Xuanzong disciples to personally escort the grain and grass to Chiyang. They are all soldiers brought by the Marquis of Zhenbei. , I must also have feelings for you, and you should know what to do next."

"Master, please rest assured that my subordinates will do their best to complete the tasks assigned by you."

Jiang Ci knew in his heart that half of the success was achieved by recruiting the old troops of Zhenbei Hou through Wu Ming.

"Go ahead."

"Subordinates retire!"

-

Jiang Ci returned to the backyard and after discussing with Yan Shu, the two left the Zhai Mansion together.

Rats were running around in the streets, and corpses were seen exposed on the roadside from time to time. Those corpses had been eaten by rats and were beyond recognition.

Yan Shu saw the purgatory scene with his own eyes and couldn't bear it in his heart.

If there were no natural disasters and wars, at least the people would still have a way to survive. Now this situation is really driving people to a dead end.

Heaven is ruthless, and when the fate of a country declines, the fate of people will be like a rootless catkin, turbulent with the change of dynasties.

"Just this one."

Not far from Zhai Mansion, Yan Shu chose a house whose gate was not damaged.

The two entered the courtyard and locked the door.

Yan Shu used his mind to move the grain and grass out of the space, and a small mountain of goods suddenly appeared in the empty yard.

Jiang Ci was really surprised to see so much food and grass.

More than he expected.

Yan Shu suddenly thought of something and moved his mind to remove [-] kilograms of rice from the granary.

"This is extra for you."

Jiang Ci opened the bag and took a look. It was all filled with white rice.

"This rice is of excellent quality. I'm afraid those soldiers have never eaten it."

"Precisely because they have never eaten it, our sincerity is even more evident when we send the food and grass there. It only takes one month from cultivation to maturity of the food in the space. If I hadn't been too busy, I could have grown several crops in one month. Ten thousand catties of rice.”

The weak point of her space is that she has to do everything herself.

She could no longer enjoy the one-click planting and one-click harvest written in those novels.

Jiang Ci saw her slumped face and could imagine the hard work of a delicate little girl working in the fields.

, "When we settle down, I will help you collect food from now on."

Yan Shu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "That's settled."

She definitely couldn't let go of the free labor.

Not long after the two left the house, Wuming led a group of Xuanzong disciples to surround the house, and after dark, they sent the goods to Chiyang.

Here

Not long after Yan Shu and Jiang Ci returned, the large army began to continue on their way.

Most of the villagers who had suffered from serious diseases could already walk. No one was holding them back, and the journey was much faster.

Before dark, they had arrived at a village fifteen miles outside Cangtong County.

"Let's stay overnight in the village tonight, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow morning. You guys can find a resting place on your own, it's near the drying ground, don't go too far."

Villagers in several villages have divided their areas.

The second room of the Yan family chose a corner location. Every time the family chose a resting place, they intentionally stayed away from crowded places.

After parking the donkey cart, Yan Ersheng took Yan Wen and Yan Wu to set up a tent, while Jiang Ci and Yan Huai went to collect dry firewood nearby.

Yan Shu and Liu Wenniang prepared dinner together.

Yan Shu lit a fire near the tent to block the view of the people around her. She took out a pack of noodles and a handful of green onions and lettuce leaves from the space.

I cooked a pot of chopped scallion noodles in the evening. The scallions were cooked in lard, a few poached eggs were beaten into it and a handful of lettuce was added. Only salt and soy sauce were added. The taste was already very delicious.

After Liu Wenniang had filled everyone's soup noodles, Yan Shu took out an oil paper bag from the tent, which contained the big elbow she had braised.

She had cut the elbow into small pieces in the space, took it out and divided it evenly into several people's bowls.

When Liu Wenniang saw the large pieces of meat in the bowl, she rolled her eyes twice shrewdly.

"It's windy outside at night and there's too much dust here. Let's go eat in the tent."

Yan Ersheng nodded in agreement.

The whole family was very smart and entered the tent with their own dishes and chopsticks.

The tent is six or seven square meters in size, enough for a family to eat inside.

Yan Wu excitedly took a bite of the elbow meat with his chopsticks and closed his eyes with satisfaction.

woohoo...

It's been a long time since he's eaten meat braised by his younger sister.

Seeing that there were very few noodles in Yan Shu's bowl, Jiang Ci asked with concern: "You eat so little?"

"I'm not very hungry, please eat quickly."

Because of her injury, her family forced her to take a donkey cart ride on the road today. She ate a lot of snacks in her free time, but now she really can't eat any more.

Jiang Ci frowned slightly: "But what's wrong with you?"

Yan Ersheng, Liu Wenniang and the three brothers of the Yan family put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another and looked at Yan Shu with concern.

"Daughter, you must tell me if you don't feel well."

Yan Shu smiled and glanced at everyone.

"I ate some snacks on the way, but I'm not hungry yet."

To confirm what she said, she took out a clean white handkerchief from the small cloth bag tied around her waist, which contained a few pieces of leftover red bean cake.

Liu Wenniang felt relieved: "It's not that there's anything wrong with your health. Just eat quickly."

Yan Wu took a big gulp of noodles, and the bowl of noodles quickly reached the bottom.

Yan Wen, Yan Huai, and Jiang Ci all ate politely. Even though everyone was hungry, they still ate leisurely.

Yan Wu glanced at everyone and touched his still flat belly.

Recently, he practiced martial arts with his master for an hour every day, plus he was constantly on the road. He felt that his appetite had greatly increased and he ate more than usual.

Although there was no shortage of food at home, he was too embarrassed to mention to his family that he was not full, so he kept eating from six to seven cents, and soon he became hungry and had to endure it all the way.

Yan Shu slowly ate his half bowl of noodle soup and noticed that the second brother next to him was staring at the noodles in her bowl with bright eyes.

"Second brother, haven't you had enough to eat?"

Yan Wu quickly looked away: "I'm full."

Yan Shu was amused. Who was staring at the bowl of noodles in her hand just now?

She was negligent. Her brothers and Jiang Ci were growing taller, and they had to travel non-stop every day. The faster their physical consumption increased, the faster they would become hungry.

She stuffed a few pieces of red bean cake into Yan Wu's handkerchief.

"Let's eat a few pieces of pastry first, and I'll get you something delicious later."

Yan Wu suddenly smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "Little sister, you still love the second brother the most. The second brother really wants to give you a big hug."

He stretched out his arms to hug Yan Shu, but was stopped by a fair and slender hand.

Jiang Ci said in a cold tone: "Brother Yan, you just wiped the oil stain on your mouth with your hand."

Yan Wu:......
