I'm not really the protagonist? [Transmigration Book]

The weather in this world is much colder than modern times. In addition, this year, a fierce northwest wind suddenly blew up, bringing the cold, wind and snow of Baijin Kingdom. Now it’s just August, and the frontier seems to have skipped autumn and suddenly fell. Like winter, the weather is extremely cold.

Li Xilao, the magistrate of Ningzhou in the north, looked at the four letters sent to the mansion, and frowned. The conditions in the northwest border were difficult, and now it was hit by a snowstorm. The soldiers of the Baijin Kingdom plundered from time to time, and he could imagine the seriousness of this embarrassment.

Now he needs to prepare in advance about difficult affairs, but the three-yearly Qiu Wei is in front of him again. Xia Qi attaches great importance to scientific research, so he can't make mistakes in Qiu Wei.After thinking about it, Li Xilao called the commander of the Ningzhou Guard and ordered him to send soldiers to set up a defense two kilometers outside the city of Ningzhou, and to increase patrols in the city of Ningzhou to ensure the safety of the students and ensure the safety of the students in the autumn. The wedding was held as scheduled.

After finishing the order, he immediately wrote a letter to be sent to Yanbei Mansion. In the letter, he succinctly stated the matter of the refugees. His letter was not sent to the magistrate of Yanbei, but to the prefect of Yanbei, the main purpose of which was to inquire about the relief of food and silver from the imperial court.

Li Xilao closed his eyes and leaned on the back of his chair. It has been almost two months since the disaster broke out on the northwest border. It stands to reason that even if the relief supplies from the imperial court had not been transported to the northwest, the officials from the counties, prefectures, and prefectures in the northwest He should have received the order, but the border refugees are about to flee to the place under his jurisdiction. Whether the imperial court has allocated relief food, who will escort it, and where he is now, he still has no idea. Li Xilao sighed , thinking to himself: "I hope it's not what he thinks."

The autumn of August arrived as scheduled.

After the three exams were over, Wu Yan and Luo Qingyu's servants stood on the carriages lined up outside the state government office, looking for their young master's figure from among the many students, and three figures appeared together, sighing with the rest of the students, Different from their sad faces, Su Jiabao and Lu Dayou walked leisurely and looked cheerful, attracting the attention of others, guessing which county they were students from, they were so confident.

Luo Qingyu, who was one step behind the two of them, also walked slowly, calmly and calmly, but looking deeply at the expression on his face, he could still find a little nervousness.

Su Jiabao and Lu Dayou, who came purely to make up the number of people, comforted Luo Qingyu a few words, and the tension in Luo Qingyu's heart gradually disappeared. He thought to himself, after all, the exam is over, and it's useless to be nervous anymore, just feel at ease Let's wait for the day when the list is released.

Wu Yan and Luo Qingyu's servant Da Bing went up to meet the three of them, and Da Bing asked if he should book a room at a nearby inn and wait until the list is released, or go back now.

"Go back directly." Luo Qingyu said directly.

Before coming to take the exam, the city of Qingzhou had already lost its former prosperity. He was a little worried because of the refugee notice posted by the county government, and it was better to go back as soon as possible.

Su Jiabao thought the same way, Lu Dayou rubbed against Su Jiabao's car, and the three returned to Qingzhou.

On the way back to Qingzhou, I saw seven or eight refugees every time I walked. They were dressed in rags and their faces were thin. They were walking towards Qingzhou, Yunzhou and two counties, which were the nearest counties. It is their last hope of survival.

It may be that this situation was foreseen, fearing that the refugees would rob the carriage violently, Su Wei sent five yamen servants with knives in plain clothes to protect Su Jiabao and Luo Qingyu all the way, and Master Lu also spent money to recruit seven or eight meetings Strong men with strong fists and kicks protected Lu Dayou all the way.

Su Jiabao opened the curtain of the carriage, swept past the refugees on the side of the road one by one, frowned slightly, and told the driver to speed up, the driver blew a loud whistle, and then the four carriages sped up together.

After walking for a while, I really vaguely saw more than 20 people blocking the road in front of me. Their pupils shrank, and they were filled with terrible excitement. They looked like they were not afraid of death. With food and clothing, they don't have to die, and they can rush to the county town faster.

Su Jiabao asked the two yamen servants to draw out their knives and stand on the carriage. Feeling that the speed of the carriage was gradually slowing down, he immediately shouted sharply: "Don't stop, rush over."

The groom shook his hands when he heard the words, and Su Jiabao's words came again: "They are hungry and cold, and they are almost losing their minds. If they are stopped, everything in the car will be looted, including our clothes " Su Jiabao glared at the coachman: "If you don't want to die, just rush over, they will disperse."

They will disperse, and after finally getting here, there is a county in front of them that can help them. These people will never let themselves die in this place, Su Jiabao gambled in his heart.

The carriages of Su Jiabao and Luo Qingyu were guarded in the middle, and the people in the front carriage obviously knew what the most correct course of action was at the moment, but they couldn't be cruel, and the speed of the coachman also slowed down. There was a sharp whistle, and the other three yamen servants in the car immediately ordered the driver to increase the speed, and two people came out and stood on the car board with fierce faces, drawing their long knives.

Seeing the strong man with a knife on the carriage, the refugees blocking the way trembled in their hearts. They wanted to withdraw from the team blocking the way, but when they saw the people next to them saying that they did not dare to collide, that they would kill if they collided, and that they would be sued, they regained their courage. stood back.

"Da da da da" the sound of horseshoes getting closer and faster, with no intention of slowing down.

"Ah!" There were several screams, and someone ran out of the middle of the road rolling and crawling, as if they had received a pardon, everyone dispersed, screaming, crying, and making noise.

The four carriages galloped away unimpeded, leaving only the cold air blowing on the face and the tail of the carriages gradually disappearing.

In the carriage, Su Jiabao's tense body finally relaxed, his upper body hit the wall of the carriage with a "bang", he closed his eyes, and raised the corners of his lips, he bet right.

Although Lu Dayou was usually careless, he was also frightened by the behavior just now, and his mouth still hasn't closed yet.

The three of them entered Qingzhou City. After Lu Dayou and Luo Qingyu thanked Su Jiabao, they were not in the mood to talk anymore, and they dispersed and went home.

Su Jiabao washed his face with hot water, and Xu Yining went to the kitchen to bring hot black-bone chicken soup with red dates, half a bowl of it, and Su Jiabao's cold sweating body, which was frightened before, finally felt warm, and Xu Yining Nesting in the room and talking, Su Jiabao told him everything before and after going to the exam, Xu Yining was satisfied.

Stretching out her hand to rub Bao'er's delicate and white face, Xu Yining said distressedly: "Look at her skinny face, thanks to the three exams in this college, otherwise she would lose weight."

Su Jiabao kept the smile on his face unchanged, and thought to himself: It would be better if you lose weight. Now that he is wearing a baby face, talking to people about business, if he didn't take the housekeeper to support the scene every time, not many people would trust him.When he first wore it, he felt the chubby face and thought it was swollen by blisters, but it disappeared after a few days, and now it has been almost half a year, and he still looks like this, so he accepts the doll resignedly face facts.

The two of them chattered here and there in the room, chatting passionately, suddenly the door was pushed open from the outside, and Su Wei hurried in in an official uniform, waiting to see the smiling face on the bed Su Jiabao, his trembling heart just calmed down.

Bao'er has always been doted on by him and his wife. Except for the incident of falling into the water, he has never encountered any danger. After those government officials told him about the refugees blocking the way, his heart trembled violently, fearing that something would happen to Bao'er .

Seeing him sitting there peacefully now, Su Wei calmed down and thought about what the yamen servant said later: it was the young master who strictly ordered us not to stop the carriage, so we came back safely.The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. He stepped forward and patted Su Jiabao's shoulder vigorously, and said with a loud smile, "As expected of my son, not bad."

Su Jiabao guessed that it was the yamen servant who told Su Wei about the road, he looked up at Su Wei and said, "Father, I was also scared, I didn't dare to let them stop, that's why..." Su Jiabao patted his own head, giggled twice, with an embarrassed look praised by Su Wei, coupled with those smiling crescent eyes, he was really cute, harmless, pure and beautiful.

Seeing the father and son laughing happily, Xu Yining asked what's the matter, Su Wei and Su Jiabao looked at each other, found an excuse to get away, they both knew that if Xu Yining knew about this, they would definitely cry , both of them were reluctant.

It's true, Xu Yining is dignified and polite when dealing with other things, generous and decent, but whenever he encounters Su Jiabao's matter, he sheds tears, which is probably because of his deep love.

In the days that followed, Su Jiabao often went to Su Wei to talk to him in the study, asking him about the refugees. Su Wei didn't avoid him either. He shook his head and said that he didn't know for the time being, and then he affirmed that the government's relief food must have arrived in Yanbei area soon, and those refugees should not have to wait until winter.

Su Jiabao didn't speak anymore, seeing the confidence on Su Wei's face, he lowered his gaze.

Su Jiabao thought in his heart: The food money from the imperial court should have arrived in the Yanbei area, but the food and money have already been exploited by officials along the road, so there may not be much left.

Su Jiabao did not tell this matter. Firstly, Su Wei, who devoted himself to reading sage books, did not believe that someone had such courage; secondly, it was useless to say it. According to memory, the matter of embezzlement of food money this time was very involved. It's not that Su Wei, a small Zhengqipin magistrate, can intervene.

A few days later, a certain place.

A group of four people rode horses from the boundary of Lingzhong to the boundary of Yanbei. The leader was dressed in dark black brocade clothes. He was tall and straight, with a handsome face, deep eyebrows, and extraordinary nobility between his eyebrows. All restrained, no one could see anything, if he was not wearing thin clothes and still looked normal in the biting cold wind, no one would have seen that this was a man with martial arts, and his martial arts were not low.

A guard behind the man cupped his hands and said, "Master, do you want to send someone to inform Yanbei Mansion first?"

The man waved his hand and said, "No, go directly to Yanbeiwei."

Yanbeiwei is an army stationed on the border of Yanbei. His main purpose of this trip is to secretly go to Yanbeiwei. There is no need to stay in Yanbei Mansion.

A group of four rode horses and galloped, directly bypassing Yanbei Mansion, and arrived at a place to the north of Yanbei area. When more and more skinny bodies were frozen to death, the man stopped immediately.

Seeing this, the three guards behind him stopped their horses, their brows were furrowed, and they thought to themselves: Why are there so many corpses along the way since the imperial court has allocated relief supplies.Suddenly, a crooked figure appeared in front of them, and the guard who had just spoken stepped forward immediately.

"Old man... home..." Xiao Yi stopped talking halfway.

The old man in front of him was stiff, walking like a zombie, holding a piece of rag in his hand, his face was blue and purple, his mouth opened and closed as if he was talking about something.

"It's not cold anymore, it won't be cold soon." Xiao Yi, who knows how to speak lips, understood the old man's words.

The old man dragged his body to a place, covered a dead child with the rag in his hand, and then fell down.

Xiao Yi's eyes darkened, he had already seen that the old man was alive with only one breath, and turned around to come to the man in black.

The man in black had no expression on his face, and said for a while, "Go and investigate."
