As soon as he saw it, like many hungry people, he really couldn't help himself for a while, so he could only set off towards the destination with a ruthless heart, but at this moment, the woman grabbed Li Zhongxuan's horse's tail, "Noble! Elegant! Give the little woman six taels of silver, save the little girl's child, the little woman is willing to go to the army with you. ”

"Get out of the way! Who wants you to be a beggar? A subordinate next to Li Zhongxuan kicked the woman in the back, and the woman let go of her horse's tail and fell into the dust.

"Mother! Mother! Mother! There were suddenly a few more children behind the woman, these children were dark-skinned, and they looked like they had been running outside for many years and had been exposed to the sun, and the children's weak cries were blown away by the wind.

Seeing that the people of Dijing were so miserable, Li Zhongxuan was not in a good mood at all.

Qiao An is the same, at this moment she and General Cheng are also in the city, she heard a child crying, hurriedly picked up the woman, General Cheng pinched the woman, the woman slowly woke up.

Shen Qiaoan had heard from Ji Huan that people would faint from hunger, and when she saw an example today, and this example actually happened in Dijing, it was inevitable that she couldn't believe it.

"Do you have any sugar cubes to feed the horses, quick!" General Cheng was very sympathetic to the dying woman, and stretched out his hand as he spoke.

Joan took out a piece of the candy cube that had been fed to the horses and handed it to General Cheng, who threw the candy cube into the woman's mouth, and after a while, the woman woke up.

"Noble, help! Help me! Elegant! However, all the way into the city, Shen Qiaoan and General Cheng kept giving generously, so much so that all their silver was distributed a quarter of an hour ago.

At the moment, there is nothing but a handful of sugar cubes. Shen Qiaoan could only leave the sugar cube behind, and she looked around blankly, and she had the illusion that she didn't know what day it was.

"Teikyo! How can there be so many hungry people? Shen Qiaoan felt strange.

"I've just inquired, and there are too many flowers, and the taxes are like cows! People have to give half of the money to the court if they earn a copper, and if they don't make money, they will sit and eat empty, what do you say? "General Cheng is powerless.

"Look elsewhere." Joan and General Cheng continued to walk forward, and Joan found that the city was in chaos, almost no different from a refugee camp, and the group of people hurried to approach whenever they saw people dressed in bright clothes.

Everyone rushed up, Qiao An reluctantly opened the money bag to show them, and people left disappointed, in great pain.

There was a patrol of the city of Wuhou came out of the Qinglong Gate, the common people hurriedly avoided, their military appearance was clean, the instrument was lofty, Qiao An saw that they were familiar with the people, and couldn't help but be stunned.

She wanted to ask why the soldiers turned a blind eye to the people, but they were held back by General Cheng.

"Don't be bored!"

Shen Qiao'an was depressed, speechless and desolate, all stores had closed down, the excitement of Dijing had been rejuvenated, and everything seemed to be completely non-existent.

Zhongjing was lifeless, and the crows and vultures hovered above everyone's heads, and these birds seemed to be waiting, waiting for people to starve! Suddenly, Joan saw a large flock of crows chirping and approaching a man, and then the vultures and others flew over, and the man fell to the ground, and was immediately enveloped by the black birds.

Jo Ann was stunned and couldn't move her steps for a long time.

"Let's go, let's go ahead and have a look." General Cheng pointed ahead.

In fact, the road the two of them walked was also the road that Li Zhongxuan was going to take today, and he was very close to his destination, this is Suzaku Gate.

Outside the Suzaku Gate is Suzaku Street, which was once the most prosperous section of the trade, but now there is not even a single person doing business, and a few jugglers sit on cowhide drums waiting for the visitors, but their audience has nothing but the fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.

"Mr. Mu, it's here." The guard reminded.

Li Zhongxuan collected his mind and entered the Qinglong Gate, where the guards of the imperial court were already waiting, and sent a letter to Li Zhongxuan, who hid it with meat. Then, someone worked methodically and carried the wooden box near the Suzaku Gate into the carriage.

After everything was done, the carriage sped away, and everyone roared and left the imperial capital.

After leaving Qixiamen, they took a shortcut back to Khitan, Liang Chaoxiong saw Li Zhongxuan coming back, he was overjoyed, laughed, and patted Li Zhongxuan on the shoulder.

"Tang Ju lives up to his mission! Hahaha, good! That's nice! ”

Li Zhongxuan took out the letter and carefully handed it to Liang Chaoxiong, after he opened it, he quickly scanned it at a glance and ten lines, and when he was done, he threw it into the incense burner next to him. Then he took Li Zhongxuan outside to check the wooden box, which was full of real money.

The sheer number is staggering.

"Who gave these to us?" Although he knew how to talk, Li Zhongxuan still couldn't hide his curiosity.

"We'll find out soon." Liang Chaoxiong took out twenty taels of gold and handed it to Li Zhongxuan, "Mr. Mu, this is this month's bundle, so I'll give it to you first." ”

He couldn't help it, so he took it and threw it in his room. In the afternoon, he was going to give Liang Hongyu a lesson, and at this moment, Li Zhongxuan was suspicious and asked, "Hongyu, your father asked me to help run errands today." ”

"I already know that that work needs to be done by someone with a heart, you are so exquisite, Daddy wants you to go, you can naturally do it very well." Liang Hongyu smiled.

"Do you know what your daddy wants me to do?"

"Shipping? What else could it be? Yellow goods and white goods, otherwise what would we eat? Liang Hongyu smiled, got up and said: "Don't look at us as a cottage, but we are also a large number of people, and we have a big family!" ”

Li Zhongxuan wanted to ask something, but Liang Hongyu diverted the topic.

"What does that mean?" Liang Hongyu pointed to a sentence, "What does it mean that one day is not seen as if it were three autumns, and there are only four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, how can there be three autumns in one day?" ”

Li Zhongxuan was about to explain, but this sentence could only be understood and could not be spoken, he thought for a while, and said with a smile: "You will know in the future, and now you are still young." ”

"I'm not a kid anymore, Brother Mu." Only children will say "I'm not a child", Li Zhongxuan took Liang Hongyu and assigned some homework.

"This is all what your father asked me to teach you, look at it, there are thirty-six strategies: borrowing arrows from grass boats, encircling Wei to save Zhao, destroying Yu on a false path, and emptying the city......" Li Zhongxuan was about to continue, Liang Hongyu was already impatient and covered his ears.

Outside, the groom came again in the morning, "Mr. Mu, the master still wants to see you." ”

Li Zhongxuan didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly followed behind the horseman.

If you don't see each other, what is three autumns? He had felt it recently, and although he had only been away from Joan for two days, he had been missing her all the time during these two days.

"It's here, Mr. Wood!" The groom hunched over and made a gesture of please.

He nodded and entered the room, there was a letter on the table, also painted with fire, "Help me run, this one will be sent to the Penglai Inn, there must be no mistakes." ”

In the middle of the night, Li Zhongxuan arrived at the Penglai Inn, in the inn, someone was already waiting for him, that person was dressed very luxuriously, and at first glance he was a person who was either rich or noble.

The man was drinking tea in the inn, seemed to have been sitting for a while, and heard Li Zhongxuan's footsteps, the man turned his head slightly, and glanced at him with the corner of his eye, Li Zhongxuan was about to step forward, but someone signaled to him, "That's it." ”

The person who signaled to him had a faint smell of urine on his body, Li Zhongxuan's intuition was very sensitive, and he judged that this person was a eunuch, and from the side face of the noble son, he found that he was actually Zhang Hao.

Then, Zhang Chang spoke.

"Yesterday's goods have been received? But how does it feel? Zhang was good at sipping tea freely, and his hand pouring tea was gently raised.

"I've received it, and the lord said it's good."

"Letter?" Zhang Shu stretched out his hand, Li Zhongxuan hurriedly sent the letter over, Zhang Shu tore it open and looked at it, crumpled it into a ball and threw it in the incense burner.

"This list is for you, it's still half and half." During the conversation, Zhang Shu gave a piece of paper to Li Zhongxuan, Li Zhongxuan didn't dare to look at it immediately, folded it, and put it on his chest.

"If nothing happens, the villain will leave." Li Zhongxuan was afraid that Zhang would find out his identity.

"Stand down!" Zhang waved his hand.

As soon as Li Zhongxuan took a step, an old eunuch next to Zhang Xuan approached Zhang Xuan, muttered two sentences, Zhang Xuan got up immediately, drew his sword and chased out, Li Zhongxuan saw Zhang Xuan again, and found that he was angry and had rushed to front of him.

"Is there anything else you can do?"

"Who are you, and when did you come to my Virtuous Brother's clan?" Zhang Hao's eyes showed a fierce light, Li Zhongxuan half-knelt in front of Zhang Hao, and made up all kinds of lies in a low voice, that Zhang Hao listened to it, smiled with satisfaction, "Stand down." ”

Although Li Zhongxuan went, he could still hear the voices of Zhang Xuan and the eunuch whispering.

"It's like, it's so similar!"

He left the Suzaku Gate with trepidation, and after the piece of paper was sent back, Liang Chaoxiong stared at it, smiled with satisfaction, and bowed his head to praise.

The next thing has nothing to do with Li Zhongxuan, but Li Zhongxuan has never forgotten it, and has written down the name of the place marked with red traces on the paper.

What exactly are they going to do? Listening to Zhang Hao's tone, this Liang Chaoxiong seems to be his brother, although Liang Chaoxiong is obviously much older, they still become old friends.

He continued to think, why did the imperial court send silver to the bandits? Soon he understood that the imperial court also needed backers, and now Zhongjing had long been boiled by Zhang's popular resentment, so he needed the help of bandits.

But then, what are they going to do?

"Brother Mu, what are you thinking?" Liang Hongyu saw that Li Zhongxuan was pondering, and shook his hand.

Li Zhongxuan smiled, "I didn't think about anything, I passed by Zhongjing today, and I originally wanted to buy you a gift, but I forgot it." ”

"It's the best gift for you to come back, what more do I need?" Liang Hongyu smiled, but as soon as Li Zhongxuan's words rose, Liang Hongyu suddenly felt relish, and she especially wanted to know what Li Zhongxuan would give her.

"Let's sneak down the mountain, it's still early anyway, let's go, you buy it for me." Liang Hongyu smiled and was about to leave.

Fearing that the conspiracy would be exposed, he said, "You go to the horses, and I will arrive later." When Liang Hongyu was looking for the horse, Li Zhongxuan had already drawn the picture on the paper with his ability to never forget.

The two went down the mountain, and Li Zhongxuan bought some things for Liang Hongyu and used the excuse of going to the inn to eat.

At this moment, General Cheng and Qiao An are also in the inn, this inn is naturally the property of the Crane Tower, the sound of the inn has been extremely depressed recently, and everyone feels strange when they see Li Zhongxuan and Liang Hongyu coming in.

Qiao An was so angry that if it weren't for General Cheng's pull, she would almost rush over to Xingshi to ask for guilt at this moment. She almost wanted to fight to the death with Liang Hongyu, how could she occupy other people's objects with such peace of mind, and it was Li Zhongxuan who made Qiao An even more angry.

Li Zhongxuan was able to accept all this with peace of mind.

"How's it taste?" Li Zhongxuan smiled at Liang Hongyu opposite, Liang Hongyu picked out the coriander while feasting on it.

"It's so delicious, Brother Mu, I haven't eaten such authentic Yangchun noodles for many years."

Joan sneered, wanting to be sarcastic, but held back after all.
