my lord, please eat

Along the way, Gong Xiaoyong gave full play to his "nonsense" talent, and he could always take out the things prepared in the space and give An Qi a share for various reasons.

An Qi naturally didn't think too much about it, although he had doubts about why Gong Xiaoyong's background and abilities were so inconsistent, but since the prince treats each other sincerely, then this person is also the object he will protect in the future.The worst thing is the sister-in-law's wife, or a friend of my own wife's.So the doubts have long been thrown to the back of his mind. Now, as long as he knows that he has food and drink, he can concentrate on driving.

After getting used to the turbulence of the carriage, Gong Xiaoyong deeply understood the words her prince said before being "captured" by Xing Yihong back to the palace.Sure enough, carriages and sedan chairs are not really comfortable. It doesn’t matter if you are short-distance, but for long-distance, there is really a kind of resentment that you hate yourself for not growing a stable stomach.But fortunately, I got used to it.

An Qi knew a shortcut to Longyu, but this road was not an official road, so sometimes they not only had to go through small villages and towns, but also had to travel part of the time on wild roads in the forest.Gong Xiaoyong was quite worried at first, after all, this time it was only the three of them in the "Wild Mountains and Wild Ridges", even though he knew that these two men had strong martial arts skills, he had never seen them before!Thinking about those TV dramas, whenever bandits and bandits appeared to block the way in such places, he felt a little nervous.The point is that sometimes they didn't catch up with the villages and towns, so they stayed directly in the wild.Although it was for show, they would buy some ingredients to bring with them when they left the last village and town. He could mix the ingredients in the space more easily, but after dark, he still felt like looking at the dark woods. Feeling weak.

After hearing Gong Xiaoyong's worry, both Xing Yihong and An Qi laughed.

Xiao Yongzi was not happy: "Smile! I am talking about a very serious thing, okay! Don't tell me that you are a master of martial arts! First of all, I have never seen it before! Secondly, there is a saying in my hometown The saying goes, "The fourth hand of the two fists, the hero can't stand the crowd", in case dozens of people come down from the family, they can only be beaten!"

Xing Yihong smiled and said: "You can still run if you can't beat it! The things in this car are not worth a lot. Besides, these places don't seem to have many people, but it's not true that there are no people in and out of the barren mountains, and some forests are still there. The property under the name of the rich, where do so many bandits come from? Besides, although our Daheng cannot be said to be a peaceful and prosperous world, everyone is fed and clothed, but banditry has not become common. You just read too many novels , I was thinking about it in my head."

Then An Qi didn't understand: "Why novels?"

Uh... Xing Yihong was annoyed for a moment that he was talking too fast.Sure enough, knowing too many things that shouldn't be known is troublesome! "It's the storybook." After speaking, he and Gong Xiaoyong glanced at each other, and then they both laughed happily.

However, the prince's self-confidence was broken in No. 13 days after the trip.Because they encountered highway robbers.

It's just that these robbers really made them a little dumbfounded.Seeing that the men in the front are all middle-aged men, there are obviously a few women disguised as men behind them, let alone a few half-grown children with childish faces behind those women.In fact, what concerned them the most was that the clothes worn by the twenty or so people were too ragged.

Facing such robbers, even Gong Xiaoyong couldn't panic too much.According to the routine of the TV series, these people must have come out to do this because they were forced to eat and drink without losing their homes.

The robber leader is still quite fierce.At least the sound is still loud. "Leave your valuables, hurry up!"

"Pfft!" Gong Xiaoyong was made to laugh out by this sentence. "Emma, ​​this is not a word of robbery! Isn't it supposed to be 'I opened this mountain and planted this tree, if I want to pass here, I will leave it to buy road money' or something! He has no momentum ah!"

Xing Yihong was amused by his little concubine: "Where are you? Just give them the words they want to rob! If it's really a bandit who specializes in this, you still call out to let you prepare?!"

Gong Xiaoyong scratched her head: "That's right. Sure enough, I can't live without it!"

An Qi didn't know where Gong Xiaoyong came from with so many words, but it sounded like a set of words, which was really interesting.But what he mainly needs to solve now is the matter of "being robbed".As a guard, it is impossible for him to let the prince and princess go into battle in person.So he took the driving whip and jumped out of the carriage. "There are valuable things, but why should I keep them for you?"

The leader of the robbers held a big knife for chopping firewood in his hand, and waved it twice, apparently to embolden himself. "If you don't stay, then don't blame us for being rude!"

An Qi's facial expression wasn't too rich, but at this moment, the corners of his mouth still curled up a little: "Then I really want to see how you are being rude!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and dropped it twice. The horsewhip, not only made a deafening "cracking" sound, but also directly discounted a small tree that was as thick as a wrist.

Not only did the robbers tremble with fright, even Gong Xiaoyong was dumbfounded. "I'm going to go, this is too fierce!" Now he can be regarded as seeing, how powerful this is!If he took out the fast bark or something, he could still understand, this is a direct dry break! ! !

The "robbers" were scared, so they ran away.But it was obvious that these three people were not real bandits, so naturally they would not "let go" of them easily.This time they were originally to investigate those corrupt officials and provide relief to the victims.It seems that these people can also be difficult.

Gong Xiaoyong saw the lightness kung fu he had always wanted to see, although it wasn't something like jumping up and turning over in the air before rolling forward and landing, but An Qi's speed really made it hard for him not to be surprised.And he was captured alive.

The "robber leader" was grabbed by the shoulder, and the pain was unprecedented for him. At this time, he was not a cruel person, so he howled out all at once.According to Gong Xiaoyong's voice, it was more "loud and clear" than the voice of An Qilun's whip just now.

Seeing that the leader was caught, some of them stopped, but soon ran away under the wave of the "robber leader".An Qi didn't say a word about this, and of course he didn't relax his restraint on this man. After those people ran away, he "dragged" the shoulder of the "robber leader" hard, and followed the man closely. He wailed in pain.

Gong Xiaoyong was taken aback.But when An Qi let go of the man, he limp on the ground and his right shoulder collapsed, so he knew that he was pulled out of the joint. "Emma, ​​it's so cruel. It hurts me to look at it."

Xing Yihong patted Gong Xiaoyongdu on the shoulder, and said, "Who are you?"

The robber leader felt that he had never been so unlucky.In reality, the daughter-in-law who had never been married suddenly divorced and married a member of the county seat as the sixth concubine, and then half of the family's field was forcibly bought away.After the flood, the rest of the land and the house were soaked in the water, and finally ran out of Longyu with a group of fellow countrymen, but there were too many people like them running out to beg for food, they were old, young, and young girls People followed, but they never snatched the "turf" of those people.If you want to dig some wild vegetables in the mountains and forests and hunt for some hunting, you should fool around first or not?He was also fucking warned that the neighborhood is the property of Yuan Zhong's family.I was so forced that I had no choice but to come out and rob, and finally got all my strength, but was caught in an instant!

Seeing that the man was still silent, Gong Xiaoyong made do with it.It's not good to delay something like a dislocation for too long. "I don't think you are robbers, but people who have been hit by a disaster somewhere. If you tell the truth, not only will we not send you to the government, but we may be able to help you solve your urgent needs. There are a few bags of rice in the carriage. I I think it should be possible for those of you just now to have two full meals."

Why did they do such a heartless thing?It's not just to fill the stomach first, otherwise I really have to gnaw the bark.No, this tree belonged to someone else, and they would have to sue if they gnawed and climbed it.The boy in front of me was about fourteen or fifteen years old. Although he didn't dress very well, he could see that he was living a good life.And looking at this appearance is indeed very pleasing to the eye, anyway, it is like this, so he told the truth.

Hearing that twenty of them were refugees who escaped from Longyu, Xing Yihong immediately frowned: "Didn't the imperial court send imperial envoys to give relief? Didn't you receive a single ration?" He really didn't think Qian Zhaozong and Those people can do so amazingly.After all, this time is the easiest time to force against the people.It can be seen that he didn't think hard enough before.

The man grinned and spat: "Fucking imperial envoys! We finally hoped for them to come, but in the end they just sent us porridge and rice for five days, five cents per person, and they sent us away. Why don't we come out and beg for food? Eating bark of wild vegetables will make you hungry!"

Now the faces of the three people are not good-looking.Moreover, Gong Xiaoyong also heard the clear cry from the man's stomach. "How long has it been since you ate?"

The man turned pale, and replied embarrassingly: "Last night, I cooked some wild vegetables. But this woodland belongs to Mr. Zhong's family, and they sent people to overtake us in the first two days. There are ten people here, all young and old. The woman followed, and didn't dare to really find an unfamiliar deep mountain. So I had no choice but to grab it against my conscience. At least I can let those children and women have a full meal."

Gong Xiaoyong couldn't control her sympathy immediately: "What kind of Zhong Yuanwai came to drive you away? It's too outrageous!" After speaking, he turned his head and said to his prince: "Yihong, are we..."

Immediately understanding what Gong Xiaoyong meant, Xing Yihong waved his hand to signal Xiaoyong not to promise anything, and then asked himself: "Where do you live now?"

The man endured the pain and replied, "It's in the middle of the forest."

"If that Yuanwai Zhong sends someone to drive you away, what are you going to do?" Xing Yihong continued to ask.

The man's face twisted: "What else can we do? Let's leave. Otherwise, if we ordinary people are sent to the yamen, we will have to be punished with ten or twenty boards if we don't close it. At that time, we will be useless if we don't die. If we can't, we will continue to the capital. As we walk, there is always a place where we can get food."

Gong Xiaoyong disagreed: "You are so good at your hands and feet, why are you begging for food! I think you are all young just now, and you can earn a living by working?"

The man's smile was ugly because of the pain: "It's not that easy. We are in rags, no one in business would hire us easily. Even if there is, it's just hard work. No one like me Problem, but there are still those children, women and old people. It’s just us a few old men who carry the bag money, sharing it is similar to digging wild vegetables to beg for food. They are all from the village and they are almost related. Since they escaped together How can I throw it away halfway. Who doesn’t know how to beg for food, but look at us, where we stop, who can say that we are not beggars?”

Gong Xiaoyong fell silent.He could understand what the man said, but he felt that even hard work was better than begging.But if you think about it carefully, in this feudal time and space, except for some special industries, such as embroidery and tea making, where half of the female workers do not need to be exposed, there are really no serious jobs for women to do.To let such a few men do hard work to support these people is really almost like begging for food.

At this time, Xing Yihong spoke again: "Take us to the place where you live, and let you have a warm meal first. An Qi, press his shoulders, and let him lead the way."
