The topic about Song Zhen ended just like that, and there was nothing unexpected about it, except that Tang Zhao always blushed and dodged a little when he looked at Mingda again.Fortunately, this situation did not last long, because Maozhou has arrived.

The closer the place is to Maozhou, the more obvious the traces of the earthquake were, not to mention the ruins everywhere, and because of the sudden rebellion, many collapsed houses were not cleaned up in time.When Ming Da and others arrived, the garrisons in several nearby places had already surrounded the place, but they were not attacking the city, but were cleaning the surrounding area instead.

The captain who was in charge of leading the army came to see the eldest princess in a hurry, and explained helplessly: "The rebels are guarding the city gates, and they are bewitching the people to fight with their bodies. If there is a strong attack at this time, I am worried that a dead city will be brought down. After the earthquake There was a rebellion in Maozhou, and the corpses in many places had not been processed in time, and the military doctor said that if it hadn't happened to be in time for winter, the disease would have been born."

These words made Mingda unable to refute, thought for a while and asked: "How about Maozhou City?"

The captain also made some estimates about this: "The houses in the city are strong, and the number of collapses is less than that outside the city. However, the city is no better than the outside of the city. Every family has a harvest of surplus grain. Except for a few grain stores, the official warehouse in the city stores the most grain. We have opened warehouses for disaster relief before. Now those rebels can still hold on, but as long as we surround the city, we don’t need to wipe it out, and there will be chaos if there is no food in the city in a few days.”

This was right, Tang Zhao took the initiative to ask about the size of the rebel army, the size of the population, and the size of the grain merchants in the city.

These captains have all investigated, and they speak well, but some are immeasurable, such as the population that can walk and move, and the situation of the granary that was damaged by a natural disaster.

The group of people looked at the Maozhou city tower from a distance while they were talking, and they could see that there was only a strange flag standing on the tower, but they couldn't tell what was written on it.The towers under the banner are also guarded by soldiers. They wear the original military uniforms of the Maozhou garrison, but they don't look like they were born in the army. They also have an extra white cloth strip tied on their arms to distinguish them from real officers and soldiers.

Tang Zhao glanced at it, and found that there were actually quite a few people defending the city, and although these rebels were scattered, their layout was somewhat organized.No wonder the captain refused to attack by force, not to mention the gains outweigh the losses, perhaps the current Maozhou rebels are also waiting for a big battle to divert their attention.

After making a rough estimate in his heart, Tang Zhao said to Mingda: "The rebels have no foundation to incite the people, and the people near Maozhou were bewitched by them to enter the city. After these people enter the city, they also need to eat, drink and have a place to sleep. Well, it’s good that the city isn’t in chaos now, I guess they don’t have much food left.”

After saying these words, Tang Zhao turned his head and asked Captain Du: "Captain Han, you are not short of food and grass, right?"

Han Duwei nodded, it was not long before the autumn harvest, and there was no other disaster this year except the earthquake. With the good weather and good weather, the granaries all over the country were full, and even their food and grass were much more abundant.

Tang Zhao then said: "Invite a good cook, and send some soldiers into the mountains to hunt every day. If you hunt anything, cook it in a large pot under the tower. It must be cooked deliciously, so that the rebels on the tower can smell it. , but also to eat and drink in front of them. Then look at their performance, if they are very coveted, then the city is probably short of food, otherwise we will have to wait."

This idea is good, but the expression on Han Duwei's face is a little hard to describe.

Tang Zhao noticed it, and asked, "What's the matter? But what's wrong with what Tang said?"

Captain Han hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, this strategy is very good, but the brothers are collecting funerals recently... Their appetites may not be very good, and they can't eat any meat."

Tang Zhao thought that it was more than a month since the Southwest Earthquake, what would happen to those corpses that had not been collected all this time, just thinking about it made it hard to describe, no wonder Captain Han would say that.So she had no choice but to say: "Forget it, don't bother Captain Han's men, the people I brought here are enough to perform this scene."

Han Duwei hurriedly thanked her for her understanding, and they said something more before he left.

As soon as the people left, Ming Da grabbed Tang Zhao's sleeve and asked, "Brother A Ting, if the food in the city is not enough, can we really just wait outside obediently?"

Tang Zhao was pulled by her sleeves, and he didn't know what to think for a while, and he felt a little uncomfortable.She calmly wanted to pull back her sleeves, but Mingda held on tightly, so she gave up, and said helplessly, "Of course not. The rebels are too greedy, and they have coerced so many people into the city. In this situation, the large number of people is the root of the chaos." .They didn’t develop outwards, but instead defended a city, and the root of the disaster has long been planted.”

Of course, it is impossible for this group of rebels to develop outward.After all, except for the people in Maozhou who are easily bewitched by the disaster, people in other places will not listen to their nonsense, and the outcome of a city against a country is also conceivable.

Mingda saw that she was uncomfortable, but instead of letting her go understandingly, he moved closer, with half of his body almost sticking to Tang Zhao's body: "Then what is Brother Ating going to do?"

Tang Zhao felt Mingda's approach, and his ears were already stained with crimson, what else could he think about?She finally stretched out her hand to push Mingda away, and ran away after saying something in a hurry, as if fleeing in despair.

Mingda looked at her back and couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing "Puff", his eyes twinkled with stars.

The bandits are familiar with such things as hunting, after all, they rely on mountains to eat mountains.

After resting all night, the next day Lian Jingyao took her men to the surrounding deep mountains and old forests for a walk, but after half a day they brought back a few wild boars, plus some scattered small prey—it was just winter, The small animals have not consumed much fat just raised in autumn, it is a good time for hunting, and most of the animals that come back from hunting are fat and strong.

You don't have to worry about cooking, as long as you put the meat in a big pot and throw it in, there will be a strong meaty aroma after cooking, and then you can add some seasonings and it will be delicious.Or if you are talented, you can grill your own meat.

Even Jingyao didn't pay much attention to borrowing people out, and today's hunting is just because she wants to go.After returning, he didn't go to see Tang Zhao, so he went to Wang Yingqiu's place.

Now Maozhou City is occupied by the rebel army, Han Duwei led troops stationed outside the city, Ming Da and the others lived in Han Duwei's barracks as a matter of course.The accommodation conditions are not good, and it is indeed a little cold to sleep in the tent in winter, but fortunately, the two women don't have to squeeze with others, this not too small camp belongs to Lian Jingyao and Wang Yingqiu only.

When Lian Jingyao came back, she was not surprised to see Wang Yingqiu sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze—she has always been like this recently. The death of County Captain Wang not only caused her to lose her last relative, it was heartbreaking, and it also made her feel hopeful about the future. Feeling lost.

Seriously speaking, the marriage contract between Wang Yingqiu and Mr. Li's family has not yet been dissolved.However, County Lieutenant Wang was murdered by County Magistrate Li, and the Li family is now in jail for treason. Obviously, this marriage contract is about to be annulled.But apart from this marriage, she has no plans for the future, so she wants to find another husband?Or just spend the rest of your life alone?

Instinctively, Wang Yingqiu somewhat rejected the former choice.Fortunately, there was still some money left by her father, which was enough for her to spend the rest of her life comfortably but not extravagantly... But she was only seventeen, and the rest of her life was still very long. Could it be that she really had to live in such a daze?

Lian Jingyao was excluded from Wang Yingqiu's plans for the future, but Lian Jingyao didn't realize this, and always dangled in front of her.

For example, stalking her and taking her on the road, or now for example, Xiao Yingying is holding a bunny in front of her to offer a treasure: "Look, Yingqiu, I picked this up on the mountain when I was hunting, do you like it?"

It wasn't picked up while hunting. God knows how many rabbit nests she led people to dig out before they found a litter of little rabbits.It was a fluffy ball the size of a fist, and it fit in the palm of her hand. She also specially picked a snow-white one, which looked very cute—in fact, Lian Jingyao didn't want to dig out the rabbit's nest at first, she wanted to dig out the wolf's den to catch wolf cubs She was raised by Wang Yingqiu as a dog, so that she can protect the wolf cub when she grows up.It's a pity that everyone in the cottage shook their heads when they heard this, saying that she would not please girls, and advised her to catch rabbits.

Lian Jingyao had no choice but to change her target. Unfortunately, this cute little thing didn't seem to make Wang Yingqiu happy.Instead, she took it and stroked the rabbit's fur, lowering her eyes with a light expression: "You shouldn't have caught it, it's still so small, what should I do if I can't live without my mother?"

Lian Jingyao thought to herself, "Maybe it's mother is roasting on which shelf right now."

Of course, she couldn't say that when she thought about it, so Lian Jingyao had no choice but to say: "Then let's take good care of it. In the future, we don't have to worry about being picked up by wolves."

Wang Yingqiu didn't say anything, but she didn't dislike seeing her stroking the rabbit.Lian Jingyao was watching from the side, and her thoughts drifted to a few years ago for a while, and for a while to the scene when Wei Tuogu in Wang County.

With those folded hands, he must have agreed to entrust his daughter to him, right?

When the little bandit who had never seen anything before found out that he was attracted to Wang Yingqiu, who was also a woman, he was not without panic. After his identity was revealed, he was even more ashamed to see her.At that time, her father also discovered the secret that she was always running to Pingliang City, so the gate of the village was locked and she was not allowed to go out.Even when she was dying, she was entrusted with everyone to get married as soon as possible.

Because of this dying entrustment, Tang Zhao was tied back to the cottage by chance.When Lian Jingyao found out that she was a woman disguised as a man, she was angry and funny, until later when Tang Zhao talked about the past, she seemed to have vaguely discovered the same kind.

Needless to mention what happened afterward, those who have seen Tang Zhao and Ming Da get along will not suspect that they have no affection.But after seeing such an example, even the never-extinguished flame in Jingyao's heart was revived in an instant, not to mention the deathbed support from her sweetheart's father...

If Wang Yingqiu still has feelings for her, and there is no one to stop them now, they can become family members.If she doesn't think so much about her, then it's good that she can keep her guarding like this.

Lian Jingyao held her chin and thought about it, but she looked at Wang Yingqiu eagerly, hoping that while she was stroking the rabbit's fur, she could also stroking herself.
