wife and king

Looking around, at the end of the black crowd, there was a ragged man who was obviously their companion standing upright, and did not kneel down like this group of people.

Energizing his inner energy into his eyes, Yan Cangling took a closer look, the person standing tall was about 40 to [-] years old, he was not tall, and his face was very ordinary, if he was thrown in the crowd, he might not be found for a while.And the only thing that people can remember about him is that he is as skinny as a stick - Yan Cangling can only think of this word to express his impression of this person.This person is not as sickly thin as Ji Fuxin, but looks like he hasn't eaten for many years, and is as thin as a skeleton. Even Yan Cangling couldn't help but want to go forward and ask, brother, how many years have you not eaten.Even his complexion was sallow and sallow. If he was hanging under the city gate, he would look like a dried sausage from a distance.

"Tch." Thinking of the sausage, Yan Cangling couldn't help laughing, he clenched his fist to his lips and coughed a few times, suppressed the smile, and straightened his eyes.

"Yeah." Ji Fu cried a few times with his lips moving, seeing that Yan Cangling's gaze had been on the man, ignoring himself, he was annoyed for a moment, and slapped Yan Cangling's head with a slap.

"Ouch!" Yan Cangling jumped up in pain, touched his head, and wanted to scold anyone who dared to hit me on the head, but when he turned around and saw Ji Fu's displeased face, his attitude changed suddenly, and he said with a smile, "Benefactor , what happened."

Ji Fu babbled and gestured with his hands, looking at the meaning in his hands, he seemed to be asking who the skinny man was, and said, he thought that man was not a simple person, and asked Yan Cangling to deal with it carefully.

With a smile on the corner of Yan Cangling's mouth, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, my benefactor, I'll go and see what's going on." After finishing his words, he heard the commotion from the crowd. Everyone chorused, begging the guards to be kind enough to let them into the city.

However, different from the attitude of the old man and others, the scrawny man frowned and walked over the dense crowd of kneeling people towards the guards. Every time he took a step, he would bend over and try to pull a kneeling man to stand up. I don't know the result, but I didn't have enough strength, not only failed to pull the person out, but I almost stumbled.In the end, he simply stopped pulling people, and stepped directly in front of the guard, arguing with the guard.

Just when Yan Cangling was puzzled, the servant came back, hand in hand with Yan Cangling and Ji Fuxin to tell what happened.

It turned out that the group of people came from a small village in the southwest. Due to years of drought and crop failure, they could not make a living. They had to move their family to Fangcheng to find another way of life.And that skinny man is the teacher of the village.

"Mr. Teacher?" Yan Cangling raised his brows with interest, seeing the teacher furiously arguing with the guards, blushing, he couldn't confuse such a person with the gentle and elegant, extraordinary demeanor with the fragrance of ink on his body. If the boy hadn't revealed the identity of that person, he would have been a hooligan from somewhere.

"Tch." As if in agreement, Ji Fu smiled heartily, and the smile spread from the corner of his mouth to the tip of his brow.Yan Cangling followed his gaze and found that he was also staring at the teacher. It seemed that he also felt that the identity of that person was funny.

Yan Cangling withdrew his gaze and focused on Ji Fu's heart: "Benefactor, what do you think of that person?"

Ji Fu shook his head, made gestures, and said, "Wait and see."

The boy explained again that the group of people were refused to enter the city because they only had one copy of the pass, and the names of the people on the pass were not written in full, so the guards did not let them pass.

This incident became more and more troublesome, and the teacher became impatient, cursing and saying that the guards looked down on them countrymen.

Yan Cangling looked at the teacher with great interest, and found that not only was he short-tempered, but he also spoke bluntly and nakedly, without shyness or fear of offending others.

Seeing that his neck was so red, he couldn't even say that the guards would let him go. The man shook his sleeves angrily, turned around and picked up the kneeling man, cursing: "Why do you kneel down for them? There is gold under the man's knees. We don't lack here." Dier, let's go, let's go!"

But that group of people had traveled long distances under the scorching sun, and they didn't have the strength to leave. When they heard that they couldn't enter the city, some of them were weak, and couldn't help being stimulated, so they let out an ah, and fainted to the ground.As if an agreement had been made, one fell, and several fell one after another, and within a short while, more than a dozen people fell.

This time, Yan Cangling couldn't stand his feet any longer. He took a step forward and raised his hand to order the guards to lift up the fainted person first and place them in a cool place. As for the rest of the people, let them stay aside, but they are not allowed to enter the city. .

The origins of these people were unknown, even if Yan Cangling felt sympathetic, he did not dare to put them in the city until they were identified.

"My lord." A guard lowered his voice carefully, and sacrificed the past of those people.

Yan Cangling took it with a frown, changed his mind, and walked back to the carriage with what he said, so that Ji Fuxin could watch it together—he didn't know when he developed this habit, he always liked to discuss with his benefactor .

Ji Fuxin also picked up the past and looked at it carefully.I have only seen the names and surnames recorded on the board, only a dozen people, far less than the number of people who knelt down.And it seems that due to sweat, the handwriting on Guo is a bit blurred, and the strange thing is that the rest of the names and surnames can be vaguely read, only one name written in the middle seems to be wet with sweat, and the handwriting is difficult to read-this It is impossible to know who the person's last name is.There is another strange thing, this pass was approved three months ago, and today is the last day of the three-month deadline.

Yan Cangling and Ji Fuxin looked at each other, and both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.First of all, it is the unnamed people in this pass, who arrived in Fangcheng as if passing through customs all the way.Secondly, Nanzhou is the only area that suffers from severe droughts in recent years. However, it is less than two months away from Fangcheng, even if it is on foot. , and can also arrive at Fangcheng on the last day of the deadline.The two of them looked at the scene and felt that there was something wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

This incident was weird from beginning to end.

Ji Fu couldn't sit still anymore, put on her gauze hat, and walked out of the carriage.

To prevent him from being unstable, Yan Cangling stepped forward and extended a hand to him: "Benefactor, I will pull you."

"En." At this moment, Ji Fuxin also suppressed her shyness, supported Yan Cangling's hand, got out of the carriage with strength, brushed off his clothes, smiled with him, and followed him towards those fainted people.

These people were put in a shady place, their faces were pale and lifelike, the doctor who was called had also come out, it was indeed a sunstroke fainting, and it was not a fake.

Yan Cangling and Ji Fuxin's eyes met, and they both felt that things were getting weirder.Ji Fuxin went to squat down in front of those faint people, glanced roughly at the naked skin of those people, brows sank, stood up and shook his head at Yan Cangling, indicating that those people really did not change their appearance.Generally speaking, for the sake of convenience, people who disguise themselves only change one face, and seldom change the skin elsewhere, especially the hands.If you want to get the hands and other parts of the skin together, it will take a lot of time and cost based on the number of this group of people.If it was just for entering the city, such a troublesome disguise would be too uneconomical.

Those people were indeed farmers.Ji Fu came to such a conclusion firmly.Yan Cangling didn't doubt him, nodded his head, walked up to the teacher, put on the posture of a prince, and asked solemnly: "Who are you, and where are you from?"

Seeing a person of identity coming, the teacher stopped cursing immediately, turned his head to face Yan Cangling, his sunken eyes walked around Yan Cangling, and opened his mouth to ask: "Who are you, why am I?" I want to tell you." He didn't even say hello, and the etiquette was almost equal to none. The guards protecting Yan Cangling were angry and wanted to scold them when they came forward, but Yan Cangling waved his hand back and let the guards go down.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are. With so many people entering the city, for the safety of the people in the city, I always have to ask."

"As I said just now," the teacher said bluntly, "we came here from a small village and couldn't live due to the drought. Why do you ask so many questions? If you don't welcome us into the city, just say it." , why bother to ask hypocritically, and not let us in!"

"Oh? I don't know what the name of the village you are in is called, so I can check."

"You talk a lot of nonsense." The teacher's eyes flickered, he jumped up immediately, and stopped Yan Cangling's words, "It's written clearly in the paper, can't you see it?"

"A pass?" Yan Cangling shook out a piece of tattered silk, "What you are talking about is this thing, but no matter how I look at it, it doesn't look right. Regardless of whether there is a real place, it is the authenticity of this pass..." He raised his voice, and said the question that he and Ji Fu had been thinking just now, his gaze focused on the teacher with scrutiny, "I don't know how you can explain this."

"I...I don't know," the teacher faltered after saying this, his eyes dodged, but he didn't meet Shangyan Cangling's eyes.

Yan Cangling narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, and was threatened by the force of heavy pressure. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, who came here with a fake pass? I'm afraid it's not as simple as entering the city? What's more? , Can I doubt that your purpose is not to enter the city, but to cause riots, trying to make the superiors notice you?!"

The teacher was startled suddenly, and his gaze was further apart, and he said suddenly, pointing at the group of people who were stunned: "Little Huzi, you're awake!" Before he could finish his words, he took a step away.

But Yan Cangling stretched out his long arm, grabbed his arm and pulled it hard, something unexpectedly fell out of his sleeve——
