Later, I became the prince of the group

Chang Le coughed twice outside, and the commotion inside subsided a little.

Although Liu Qi yelled to take off his clothes, when he really opened the door, he covered it tightly and pretended to be reserved.

Chang Le was afraid that the two masters would be embarrassed when they saw a crowd of heads outside, so he quickly closed the door with his backhand, and said with a smile, "Eldest son, master, drink a cup of hot tea first."

Only then did Chu Yan heave a sigh of relief, grabbed the handle of the pot, poured tea for Liu Qi himself, blew on it, then passed it to his hand, and smoothed out his crumpled robe by the way, extremely attentive.

Liu Qi stopped talking and waited silently for food, Chu Yan thought it was coaxed, but Chu Yan was kicked out just after breakfast.

Attached to his pillow.

In the yard, the Yan family's army, who usually had a meal and wanted to quarrel, was rarely silent. They silently gnawed on the steamed buns, stared at the pillow, and made up their minds a few times.

Chu Yan didn't expect that they were there, and he met countless pairs of animal-like gazes.

Someone couldn't hold back, and let out a sentence from his lips: "It violates ethics..."

The person next to him couldn't help but answer: "God's law is too much to tolerate..."

Some people took it seriously: "Ahem, it's family affairs anyway, we... can't we choke on eating steamed buns? Didn't we buy a car with cold melon yesterday, why don't we pay for it?"

"That's right, that cold melon is very sweet... No, I mean, it's very sweet at first sight!"

"Okay, let me tell you how I saw the melon rind yesterday. It turned out that you stole it..."

The atmosphere suddenly brightened, as if the shock and embarrassment just now had never existed.

Chu Yan looked at a group of melon-eaters who were helping him smooth things over with a blank face, and said in his heart: Thank you so much.

At night, Liu Qi was thinking about the food and couldn't sleep, so he opened the door lightly, wanting to go for a walk in the courtyard.

After opening the door, Liu Qi was taken aback, and Chu Yan sat on the doorstep with his pillow in his arms. Hearing the sound, he looked up at him, like a big dog pitifully waiting to be summoned.

His voice was gentle: "Aqi, what's the matter?"

Liu Qi: "Why are you here..."

"Where can I be if I'm not here? There are Datong shops in the wing room. You don't even let others see my body, and you can't let me sleep with others. I can only keep watch for you." Chu Yan teased.

Only then did Liu Qi remember this, and thought: That's different, you sleep with your clothes on.

But he really didn't want Chu Yan to squeeze into the bunk with others, so he said, "I'm sorry, I forgot, then go in and sleep."

He himself sat on the steps.

Chu Yan didn't get up: "Is there something on your mind, or is it hot?"

Liu Qi hugged his knees, leaned his head on his knees, and looked at him sideways: "There are... I haven't asked, what are your future plans?"

Chu Yan waved at him, beckoning him to come closer.

Liu Qi got up lazily and moved towards him, but Chu Yan was still not satisfied and still wanted him to come closer.

Then he fell into the trap just like that, fell into Chu Yan's arms, and was surrounded by his arms.

The prey didn't struggle, and let him linger on his forehead with his lips, so obedient.

Chu Yan asked, "Aren't you angry?"

"Actually, I shouldn't be angry. I'd rather ask you to show them openly than ask them to search you. They don't deserve it." Liu Qi stretched out his hand and cupped his face, "No one deserves you."

Chu Yan swallowed, feeling that his throat was dry. The person in front of him was not only the fire to burn him, but also the water to save him.

He didn't even know how he could hold back, so that after Liu Qi took the initiative to kiss him, he said affectionately: "It's good that you come to accompany me, now you are the one who loves me."

Counting the days, Chu Yan comforted himself and said: It won't be long, just bear with it.

He collected himself, and used business to subdue the impulse: "I plan to see the granary with my own eyes."

Liu Qi: "Yongding warehouse?"

Chu Yan thought for a while and said, "It's one of them."

Liu Qi was a little strange: "Apart from Yongding warehouse, only Jinling and Yangzhou have warehouses."

Yongding warehouse is located in the south of Jiangcheng. It was originally a small righteous warehouse, which was used to help the people in times of disaster.However, the prime minister of the Southern Jin Dynasty devoted himself to raising soldiers and forcibly converted them into official warehouses for the adjustment of military rations.Even when Tan and Yue Dashui last year, the prime minister had the cheek to say that "official warehouses cannot be used by civilians" and refused to open warehouses to release grain.

In the Southern Jin Dynasty, there were many lackeys of the prime minister. The rare loyal ministers directly advised the prime minister to be abolished several times. The late emperor who was addicted to singing and dancing and only trusted the prime minister ignored him. Many people chose to be silent and clinging to each other, and in the end the court was colluding, so the matter of requisitioning the food from the righteous warehouse did not stir up waves among the courtiers at all.

But Chu Yan believed that this was only superficial, because the refusal to release the relief food involved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. If the courtiers were all things that could be ignored, then the Southern Jin would probably die before the Northern Qi came.

In the Southern Jin Dynasty, besides Prime Minister Dog, there was also King Huaibei. King Huaibei was the youngest younger brother of the first emperor. It's just fishing for a county king.

The two were originally from the same faction, the Prime Minister was in charge of the court, and the King of Huaibei was behind him to clear the obstacles. These obstacles included disobedient officials, the late emperor's brothers, and even his son.

So much so that the new emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty is just a child born to a woman who was deprived of her title and sent to the cold palace.

However, these two people cannot share the same blessings. Chu Yan estimated that according to the normal development, after the prime minister completely lost power to the ruling and opposition parties, he became suspicious of King Huaibei, and it is impossible for King Huaibei to be unguarded. As long as he is not stupid, he will He will definitely cultivate his own power as soon as possible, so as to prevent the prime minister from killing the donkey.

Just after the incident of the flood in Tanyue last year, the two parties did not know what happened, and each started to set up soldiers and horses. Although they did not really fight, they were almost ready to go. This also shows that the respective forces of the two people are not Such a disparity.

Since the King of Huaibei is opposed to the prime minister, many courtiers who regard the prime minister as a traitor are likely to secretly take refuge in the king of Huaibei.

The king of Huaibei is now in Jinling, but his soldiers and horses are in Huaibei, and both Huaibei and Huainan are his territory.

Huainan has always been a prosperous place where merchants come and go, with money and food. Since the King of Huaibei has the conditions and thoughts, why didn't he build a warehouse near Huainan?

After listening to his explanation, Liu Qi was a little puzzled: "Are you worried that there is not enough grain in Yongding warehouse? If it is true as you said, Huaibei King's troops occupied Huaihe by himself, then Huaibei is equivalent to a place like Jinling. Even if we find out where the granary is, people like us can't move."

Chu Yan said: "You don't need to do anything, just find out the location, and then borrow the prime minister's hand, and you can easily provoke the two to fight."

Liu Qi came to a sudden realization: "You are using the way of others to treat the body of others!"

People from the Southern Jin Dynasty came to the Northern Qi Dynasty to provoke the imperial strife, and Chu Yan also came to instigate their internal strife.

As long as the balance between King Huaibei and Prime Minister Dog is broken, the internal fighting will get out of hand, and the Qi army will be able to save a lot of effort.

"But... let's go to Huaibei, what about Yongding warehouse?" Liu Qi asked.

Chu Yan said softly: "I have other arrangements. Don't worry, I'm not choosing between Huaibei and Yongding, I want both."

Two days later, this small county town was searched inside and out, and the search team was about to leave Shang County, but Chu Yan was well prepared, and almost when the search team was about to leave, the decoy team arrived as scheduled Outside the city of Shang County, on the third day, they pretended to reveal their whereabouts and lured Jin soldiers to chase them all the way to the deep mountains.

And Chang Le also found that the people outside the hospital had completely withdrawn.

Even so, Chu Yan did not take the opportunity to do other actions, firstly, to prevent someone from being watching in the dark, and secondly, they had already made arrangements for various situations, so there was nothing to be too long-winded about.

The bait in the deep mountain was successfully dragged on until the sixth day before the search soldiers returned. When they came back, they brought back several corpses and hung them directly at the gate of the city, trying to deter those spies who were still absconding.

That day Liu Qi greeted the big guys at the wine shop next to the city gate for a day of drinking, drinking and drinking, others thought they were celebrating something good, only they knew that they were sending a companion they had never met before on the road.

On the eighth day, all the soldiers who stayed in Shang County were evacuated. They spent more time here than Chu Yan estimated, and the batch of food was basically safe.

At the same time, the team of farmers who came to pick up the five thousand stones of grain also came directly from the front line to Shang County.

It’s no wonder they came so fast, but after the 20 stone grains were burned, the soldiers became anxious, and there was not much leftover grain, and they desperately needed food for emergency relief.

And because they were worried about the Northern Qi's secret workers nearby, even though they only received five thousand stones, there were still many escorts.

They also cautiously invited Liu Qi to the county government office, randomly picked out a few bags of grain in front of him, and each took some rice, cooked it on the spot, and let people try it, all the while watching Liu Qi's reaction.

Liu Qi didn't feel guilty at all, he didn't tamper with the food in the first place.

After waiting for two days after testing the rice and confirming that no one had any abnormalities, they moved the grain to the grain truck they brought.

Liu Qi originally wanted to donate the mule cart, but now they don't want the mule cart, obviously because they are afraid that the mule cart will be tampered with.

Chu Yan thought about it more cautiously: "There are so many mules and carts, it's too conspicuous to carry the target on the road."

Liu Qi: "You mean they want to track us down?"

Chu Yan said: "This possibility is not ruled out, but we are going eastward, and the road is too cumbersome to sell the mule cart, isn't it reasonable?"

Soon, they prepared their luggage and went out.

Before arriving in Yongcheng, most of the mule carts were sold, leaving only some food for food and people on the road.

Yongding warehouse is located in Yongcheng, so this place can be regarded as rich and prosperous. Merchants who can't do business on the border will pass through this place out of ten.Chu Yan stayed here for a few more days in the name of discussing business, got a general idea of ​​the defense of Yongding warehouse, and then set off for Huizhou.

After entering the territory of Huizhou, Chu Yan noticed that the feeling that there was always a shadow behind him disappeared.

From this point of view, it is very likely that those who followed them were the people on the prime minister's side.

Chu Yan took people to rent two yards, housed the people around him, wrote a letter for people to take back to Jingzhou to report safety, and then went to the restaurant to meet Liu Qi.

The restaurant has always been a place where news gathers. As soon as Chu Yan entered, he heard someone say: "You said, those people from Yuezhou and Tanzhou know that their relatives and friends who starved to death died so unjustly, so can they not be angry?"

"Do you know what's going on now?"

"What else can I do? The soldiers came out to suppress it. I heard that anyone who went to the gate of the government to make trouble was beaten to blood. Now many places are still arresting people from Tanzhou and Yuezhou. As long as they are caught, no matter whether they are making trouble or not If you do something wrong, you will be put in prison."

"Bah, the dog prime minister committed crimes, and sooner or later he will go to hell!"

Chu Yan also traveled to so many places in the Southern Jin Dynasty. Even in other places, even if he felt that the court was not good, he still said it in a hidden way.

It seems that Huaibei King has made more preparations than he imagined. Perhaps the entire Huainan has secretly regarded Huaibei King as the master of the world.

He didn't deliberately stop to listen to the conversation, but Xiao Er came to greet him, so he followed them upstairs to find Liu Qi.

There is no private room in this restaurant, Liu Qi sits by the window and can see it at a glance.

As soon as Chu Yan sat down, he found that a table next to him was also discussing "Prime Minister Dog".

Liu Qi seemed to be picking some small dishes on the plate, and lowered his voice: "Last year, Yongding warehouse didn't open because it claimed that there was no food. Now someone has leaked the fact that Yongding warehouse has always had food. This gathering made trouble."

After he finished speaking, he asked Xiao Er to add some dishes.

Chu Yan drank a cup of tea first, thinking to himself: Make trouble?It may not be that simple. Before the plague in Yuezhou City, nearly [-] people were trapped in the city and died of starvation and disease.Now that it has been more than a year, the victims of the disaster have already been dispersed, and they may have found a place to settle down. How could it be so easy to gather together and make trouble?

Who is behind the scenes?
