Song of Burying Snow

Another day later, it was the day to set off to the north. After all, the emperor's special envoy could not ride a horse, but could only ride a cart. Several people sat in the cart, followed by a mighty group of people and horses, and set off from the imperial city. Traveling all the way north, when they reached the gate of the city, the team stopped suddenly, only to hear that someone came to report, the two princes ahead blocked the way with one person, Huan Zhan leaned out of the carriage to see, it turned out to be Huanqing and Cangji. "I don't know why the second emperor came here to block the way?"

"Big brother said that, big brother is going on a long journey, at least a few months, at most half a year, and we won't be able to see each other again, shouldn't I, a brother, come to see off big brother?" Huan Qing said with a sincere smile.

"Then I would like to thank the second brother for your concern. The second brother is willing to accept it, and the second brother will go back now!" Huan Zhan ignored Huan Qing and returned to the carriage.

"Eldest brother?" Huan Zhanfang went back, but Zhuoyan poked his head out from the small window of the carriage.

"Little brother, when you go to the north, you must take good care of yourself. You don't need to worry about the matter of the master. The brother will definitely do his best to make the truth clear." Cang Ji walked to the side of the carriage and said.

"Thank you, Big Brother!"

"It's getting late, it's time for you to go on the road. Senior brother will send you here, junior and junior sisters take care." Saying this, Cang Ji went back and continued to stand by Huan Qing's side, watching the carriage start with the brigade until it went far away.

"Brother Cang Ji is a bit reluctant to part with your little junior brother?" Huan Qing joked when he saw Cang Ji still looking around when he had gone far away.

"The second prince was joking." Cang Ji was also noncommittal, turned around and walked back first.

During Huan Zhan's trip, one was for disaster relief, and the other was to suppress bandits. Although there were military camps stationed there, the emperor always sent some people to strengthen the momentum and stabilize people's hearts, so there were many people with supplies. Driving to the north in a mighty way, Huan Zhan originally suspected that Huan Qing would play tricks on the road, but after walking for nearly half a month, there was no change. Seeing that he was about to reach the disaster area, Huan Zhan couldn't help thinking, could it be that this time it was really him? I think too much, but no matter what, I dare not take it lightly. I can walk without a carriage as much as possible, without stopping and resting, and walking fast. It will take nearly a month. It took only seventeen or eight days to reach the edge of the disaster area.

Seeing that the destination was about to arrive, and the team was exhausted, Huan Yu suggested that Huan Zhan stop to rectify and rest before entering the disaster area. Huan Zhan saw the expressions of everyone, and knew that the journey was really exhausting, so he had no choice but to agree.

The emperor personally took charge of the soldiers and horses, so they were naturally well-trained. The elite soldiers among the elite soldiers, even this rectification and rest, are more efficient than others. When Huan Zhan gave an order here, the troops and horses there had already quickly found their positions and adjusted. Rest for the quickest recovery.

"Third brother, what kind of medicine did you say second brother sold in the gourd this time?" Seeing that everyone had settled down, Huan Zhan came to Huan Yu and asked.

"I don't know about this!" Huan Yu shrugged without commenting.

"Hey, you, I thought that you came with me this time because you already had some ambitions for fame, but you don't want to be like this!" Huan Zhan sighed, with a look of resentment.

"I'm just an idler. This time, my father felt that I was too idle, so I wanted my elder brother to come to practice and practice. I don't want to come, this poor country!" Huan Yu put on a look of grievance. It looks like.

"Forget it, since you choose to be with Eldest Brother, Eldest Brother will naturally protect you. If you want to be an idler, you can do it, and Eldest Brother will not force you!" Huan Zhan got up and returned to the carriage, and went to rest by himself.

"Thank you, brother!" Huan Zhan turned around, and Huan Yu said behind Huan Zhan, his eyes were dim, but he was thinking in his heart, the letter he sent to Liu Yunzhou on the eve of departure, did Liu Yunzhou receive it? Arrangements, have they been properly arranged, big brother, third brother, I have worked so hard to save your life, don't you call me a disappointment for my younger brother.

Everyone rested on the spot for about an hour, and their mental state was almost recovered. Then they set off on the road again. This is the edge of the disaster area. Along the road, you can see many fields that have been plagued by locusts. Most of the young crops in the field have been eaten by locusts. There was only a dry seedling standing there, and the disaster was even more serious than imagined.

After walking for less than a day, I finally arrived at the worst-hit place, and then I went to handover with the local government office.

When a few people arrived, the magistrate of the government office was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Although he received a letter from the imperial city a few days ago saying that the eldest prince and the third prince would come as special envoys to deal with the chaos here, it was just a long way away. , I don’t know when it will arrive, but the local people have just arrived and there are bandits attacking. This day is getting worse every day, but I can’t do anything about it. I just wait for the people above to take charge of the overall situation. Hearing that the special envoy arrived at the door, the magistrate was so happy that he almost fainted, disregarding his image, and ran out of the government office to pick up the person.

"Brother, when did you say the magistrate will come?" Huan Yu asked while looking into the mansion, and several people reported their backgrounds with the servant at the gate of the mansion, and saw the servant run into the mansion in a hurry, only to make a fuss. Huan Yuhuanzhan and the group looked stunned, not knowing what the situation was, but no one came out inside, and there was no rule for this group of people to go in first, so they had to wait outside.

"My lord special envoy is here, and I'm going to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me, my lord special envoy!" Unexpectedly, just as Huan Yu's words fell, a man in official uniform ran out of the government office. Dressed in royal attire, the two of Zhan fell to their knees with a plop, and knocked their heads to the ground with a big bang.

"Are you the magistrate here?" Huan Zhan had never seen such a groggy official. Although he was wearing an official uniform, he was a little uncertain whether he was really the magistrate.

"The next official is Sun Yuanhong, the magistrate of this place." Upon hearing Huan Zhan's question, that Sun Yuanhong raised his head to answer, and then kowtowed to the ground again.

"Since it is Sun Yuanhong's mansion, then get up, there is no need for such a big ceremony!" Huan Yu really couldn't bear Sun Yuanhong's appearance, and stepped forward to help him up.

"Thank you, Special Envoy." Sun Yuanhong thanked him, then got up, and said again. "You guys have come from a long way, and I'm tired after thinking about it, so hurry up and invite me inside."

Several people entered the government office with the prefect Sun, and the prefect Sun also handed over the team they brought to the government office. When they arrived at the reception hall in the government office, the prefect Sun invited Huan Zhan and Huan Yu to sit in the main seat, and the others were also divided. Sit on the left and right, and then serve tea.

"Isn't there any hot tea in your government office?" Huan Yu took a sip from the teacup and found it was cold.

"Excuse me, the special envoys. It's not that the officials don't serve hot tea to you. It's because the people in the past four weeks are living in a difficult situation. Seeing that the autumn harvest has lost hope, and horse thieves worry about it, there are frequent casualties. Anyone who can help in this mansion will be sent to I helped, so I left a doorman as an errand, there is really no one to boil water!" The magistrate Sun immediately said with a sad face when he heard Huan Yu's question.

"It's so serious?" Huan Zhan said in shock.

"Hey, that's not right, I really have no choice but to wait for the special envoy to preside over the overall situation!" The prefect sighed again.

"Are there no guards in the area? Just let those horse thieves come here?" Huan Zhan asked again.

"It's impossible for the defenders to stay here every day. Those horse thieves always pick the weakest places to attack, burn, kill and loot, and run away when they are done. The guard General Li also sent people to chase them, and the horse thieves dispersed. Come on, hide in the deep mountains, it's really hard to catch!" The magistrate Sun said with an even more helpless expression on his face.

"It's hard for the prefect Sun. Since my two brothers came here this time, they will definitely handle the matter well. The prefect Sun can rest assured." Huan Zhan picked up the teacup to drink tea again, but just handed it to him. Putting down his mouth again, this cold tea is really not very tasty.
