On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe came closer and saw the bodies that had just been salvaged by several patrols.

Several people turned around and saw Meng Beiling, and hurriedly came over to greet him: "Brother Meng."

Meng Beiling nodded: "Have we recovered another body? Which one is it?"

Several people glanced at Yan Ruyu, thinking that she was a woman and would be afraid of corpses, so they turned slightly sideways and lowered their voices: "The sixth body."

Before Meng Beiling could say anything, Yan Ruyu said, "Put the corpses in one place and let me take a look."

Shock visibly flashed across the faces of those people. They looked at Yan Ruyu and then at Meng Beiling.

"Follow it." Meng Beiling ordered.

Several people secretly guessed that this girl is so beautiful, shouldn't she be timid and weak? You can't even hear any bleeding wounds.

How dare you look at the corpse?

But they also found that Meng Beiling was respectful and polite to Yan Ruyu, and they did not dare to neglect him, so they quickly agreed and followed the instructions.

Meng Beiling took Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe to meet Li Jingyao.

Li Jingyao was not in the front hall, so he went to the morgue again, and he was indeed there.

Seeing Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu, they quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"No need to say more polite words, how is the situation now?"

"The corpses are all here. There are five of them in total. They all have no external injuries and are all skinny. But because they have been in the water for a long time, nothing else can be seen."

Yan Ruyu nodded and said to Huo Changhe: "Your Majesty, I'm going to see the body. You have a chat with the head master to understand the situation. In addition, we can find the topographic map of the upper reaches."

"Okay." Huo Changhe actively cooperated.

Li Jingyao was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Yan Ruyu took the lead in this matter. Huo Changhe was so obedient and cooperative. Moreover, it seemed that he was quite beautiful?

Although Li Jingyao had never seen Huo Changhe's grace on the battlefield, he could memorize it after hearing it. It was really different from his current performance.

Seeing that Huo Changhe didn't intend to go to the front hall, he asked someone to move the tables and chairs, brought a map, and simply stayed under the corridor outside the morgue door.

Huo Changhe looked at the map and asked, "How many villages are there upstream?"

"Eight," Li Jingyao pointed at Luojiazhuang without thinking, "This is the closest one, eighty miles away from the water village."

"I often meet them on the water. The villagers in these villages depend on the water, fishing, building and digging rivers, and they do everything related to rivers and water."

Huo Changhe thought thoughtfully: "They are different from the people in the plains. They have very little cultivated land. This river is their main livelihood."

"What the prince said is absolutely true. This big river is not natural, but was dug during the previous dynasty. At that time, it occupied a lot of cultivated land. Many people's land was expropriated. Without land, there is no food. The government pays food supplements every year. It is a major part of their income. Fishing and helping the government build rivers are all their sources of income."

Li Jingyao knew these things very well and knew that the people were suffering, so he never did anything wrong to these villagers, and would even give porridge when the weather was bad.

Therefore, although the common people know that they are water bandits, they have a good impression of them and are not particularly afraid of them. Occasionally, if they encounter difficulties on the water, they will meet their boats and ask for help.

After hearing what Li Jingyao said, Huo Changhe ordered the secret guard: "Go to the local government office and secretly check if anyone has reported him missing."

"Yes." The secret guard turned and left.

Li Jingyao was about to speak but stopped.

Huo Changhe said: "If you have something to say, you might as well speak up."

Li Jingyao was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, there is no need to send anyone, there should be news later."

Huo Changhe looked directly at him for a moment and understood.

Li Jingyao's water stronghold has never failed, not only because of his own strength and strong water stronghold, but also because of foreign aid.

Huo Changhe wouldn't believe it if he said there was no internal support from him in the government.

The embarrassing thing about Li Jingyao is that his friendship and mutual appreciation with Huo Changhe are all from a man's perspective, not a standpoint.

Their positions are inherently opposite, one is a soldier, the other is a bandit.

Li Jingyao's ability to say this was a sign of his great trust in Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe didn't ask any further questions: "Okay, thank you very much, Master, for your trust."

Li Jingyao smiled, this was really hard to say.

While they were speechless, Yan Ruyu came out and took off her gloves.

Huo Changhe immediately greeted him and said softly: "How is it?"

"Wash your hands first."

Huo Changhe took the basin aside and poured the water himself for Yan Ruyu to wash her hands.

His movements were so smooth that Li Jingyao was dumbfounded.

When he was moving the table just now, he saw Huo Changhe's eyes looking over there. I didn't know what he was looking at. It turned out that he was looking at the basin.

Love can be faked, but the little gestures and looks in the eyes can't deceive people. You can tell by looking at whether there is sincerity.

Li Jingyao was surprised and a little ashamed. He had not yet married a wife. He had seen other couples getting along, but he had never seen many who were attentive to their wives. He felt that something was wrong, and he gradually no longer wanted to marry. .

If you marry a wife just to make others work hard to do housework, then it is better to find a servant and see your wife's aggrieved face every day. How happy can you be in that life?

But Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu made him discover that they still had this kind of relationship, and it seemed to be quite good.

As he was distracted, he didn't hear clearly what Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were saying just now.

"what?"

Yan Ruyu didn't know what he was so confused about, so she had to say again: "Have you been to a few villages upstream?"

Li Jingyao replied: "I have been to Luojiazhuang once. It turns out that there is a leader in the village who is from Luojiazhuang."

Meng Beiling took over and said: "He was blocking an arrow for me and died of his injuries. I was also injured at the time. Fortunately, he blocked the arrow and I was not injured to death. Before he died, he said that he had a niece at home. My brother asked me to take care of my niece. He has no regrets, but he can no longer take care of his niece and wants me to help take care of her."

"Because I was also seriously injured and could not move forward, so the leader of the village made the trip for me."

Li Jingyao nodded: "We are all brothers in the village. When we are gone, our last wish before death will always come true. Therefore, I went to Luojiazhuang and found the girl. I learned that she was 16 years old and had been married to someone else, so I gave her a dowry and held a wedding ceremony for her as a member of my natal family. Of course, no one knew my true identity except her. However, I have never been there since then. "

In a small village like this, under normal circumstances, there won't be any big changes in two or three decades, let alone two or three years.

Yan Ruyu said: "I can't be sure which village they are from, but I can be sure that they worked hard and didn't have enough to eat. I just heard from the prince that although the villagers are not rich, they are not so poor or hungry."

"so……"

After he finished speaking, a shadow flew across the sky. Li Jingyao turned around, thinking that there was news.
