"There are no mechanisms on the waterway, but there are many branch roads, and if you are not careful, you will go to the fork in the road, if you must go to Tanzhou, I will let people send you with a small row." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's just that when you get to Tanzhou City, our people can't show up again, everything depends on you. ”

Wei Youqing nodded, and was about to go out to prepare, Li Jingbao led someone to put the wine and dinner, Wei Youqing said: "Jingbao, let you bother, the wine will be put aside first, and I will drink it when my brother comes back." Let people serve two bowls of rice, and my brother will replace the wine with rice, and I will bless you and Brother Ning Yuan here first. ”

Li Jingbao seemed to have ulterior motives when she heard what he said, and she was really sad in her heart. She didn't dare to ask anything, she just peeked at Yue Ningyuan. But Yue Ningyuan took the rice brought by Li Jingbao as if he was nothing, and really touched the bowl with Wei Youqing.

Wei Youqing saw Li Jingbao's face showing panic, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, she couldn't bear it, and said, "Blame me, I didn't make it clear." I heard that there are people in Tanzhou City who have ruined the reputation of His Royal Highness King Chen, and they want to sneak into Tanzhou City and come back soon. It's just that you have to go to Daozhou in a hurry......"

Speaking of this, Li Jingbao hurriedly arranged flowers and said, "We are not in a hurry to go to Daozhou," she glared at Yue Ningyuan indignantly, with tears in her eyes, and sobbed, "Whoever is in a hurry will go!" I'm going to wait for my brother here! When will my brother come back, and when will I go to Daozhou! Li Jingbao said, lying on Wei Youqing's shoulder and crying.

Wei Youqing has loved Li Jingbao the most since she was a child, and now seeing her crying so sadly, she looked at Yue Ningyuan anxiously and motioned him to coax Li Jingbao. Who knew that Yue Ningyuan actually sat still, his eyes turned away.

Wei Youqing was shocked that their brother and sister's situation was a little out of order, and seeing that Yue Ningyuan seemed to be a little unhappy, she was a little embarrassed and helped Li Jingbao and asked her to sit on the chair next to Yue Ningyuan.

Yue Ningyuan was indeed because Li Jingbao robbed himself of Wei Youqing for Wei Youqing, and revealed his true feelings to Wei Youqing, and his heart was a little pantothenic. Seeing Wei Youqing like this, he felt a little stingy again, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, and hurriedly covered up:

"Youqing is friends with the young master of Tanzhou Huafu, he is going to be friends, where is there any danger? Youqing, you told Jingbao everything, so that she wouldn't worry. ”

Yue Ningyuan's last sentence was said to Wei Youqing, and he repeatedly made a look at Wei Youqing to cover it up for himself. Wei Youqing came out of his anger and scolded with a smile:

"What are you talking about? Do you think my sister is a child? I said that I would come when I went, and I would not delay drinking, so Jingbao was naturally not worried. She said that she didn't go to Daozhou, because she was reluctant to leave you, but you didn't understand it stupidly. However, I only take care of my goods, whether you are reluctant to part or not. Brother Ning Yuan, you better help me go to Daozhou to deliver the goods as soon as possible, don't miss my business. ”

Yue Ningyuan heard what he said so explicitly, afraid that Li Jingbao would be embarrassed, peeking at Li Jingbao's face and turning red, thinking that she was indeed reluctant to part with herself, she was secretly relieved and sweet, and forgot about the fact that their brother and sister were too intimate just now.

The three of them had dinner together, and Yue Ningyuan arranged for Wei Youqing, and a Zhuang Ding, who looked very shrewd and capable, rocked a boat that was not big or small, and went upstream.

When he arrived in Tanzhou, Zhuang Ding anchored the boat, untied a small paddle from the stern, and went to Tanzhou City along a small stream that only allowed this small paddle to pass.

"I remember the last time I visited, the waterway wasn't that narrow."

Zhuang Ding replied: "In the past, this waterway was narrow and wide, but now it is only so narrow. ”

"Why?"

"There is a mechanism when it is wide, and only a specific large ship can enter it, which is to facilitate the transportation of people and things to Tanzhou. Now that things are not being transported in, it is naturally just a narrow waterway. ”

Wei Youqing nodded, silently remembering the path. He has always thought that it is better to ask for others than for himself, and the situation in Tanzhou City is unknown, so he has to ensure that he can escape from the city.

The paddle weaves through the middle of the tall gables, many of the houses along the way have collapsed, and occasionally a few are intact, and there seems to be no one in silence.

"Everyone's gone?" Wei Youqing asked.

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Chen's army has been blockading Tanzhou for almost a year, right? In the past, the four gates of Tanzhou City were opened, and there was a waterway called Wupeng Mountain Villa, but anyone who had a way escaped from it. ”

The gables grew denser and denser, but there were still no boats or people, and there was a dead silence all around, except for the gentle sound of small paddlings.

A white thing floated in front of him, and Wei Youqing's eyes were sharp, and he recognized it as a child's corpse.

"There are dead people!" Wei Youqing exclaimed, "It's a child." ”

That Zhuang Ding stretched out his head and looked at it, but he didn't make a fuss like Wei Youqing, he just said in a little surprise: "It's really strange, this child was not eaten." ”

"Has Tanzhou City reached the point where people eat people?" Wei Youqing glared at Zhuang Ding, although he had heard of the tragic situation of cannibalism, and now that it happened to him, he still felt frightened, "But the last time I came, the rice shops in the streets and alleys were still open, and there were merchants hoarding Juqi, ready to make a lot of money." The road closure of Wupeng Villa is nothing more than the last few days, how did it come to this extent? ”

Zhuang Ding was busy pushing aside the corpses in the water so that the small paddle could pass through, and when he heard Wei Youqing say this, he replied: "I don't know if there are any merchants hiding rice, but when Wupeng Villa closed the road, Tanzhou City had already begun to starve to death. The young farmer said that even if the rice was brought in, the ordinary people would not be able to eat it, and they were all snatched away by those who were soldiers. ”

Wei Youqing was silent, Yue Ningyuan's approach was right, in a war zone like this, there is no distinction between military food and civilian food at all, and if there are a few more people who make a fortune in the country, how much grain will be transported in, people will starve to death. It's just that if the situation develops, some people will say that it was King Chen's blockade that caused a large number of people to starve to death in Tanzhou, and then Li Chengyu's reputation as a virtuous king would be completely ruined.

The small paddle turned onto the main road of Tanzhou, and there were more people on the shore, and one by one the yellow-faced and thin-skinned "lamp people" walked by in front of them. These people must have been fat before, so the clothes on their bodies were very fat, and when the wind blew, they did not look like they were walking, but they seemed to be floating.

Wei Youqing witnessed two people walking with support, one person swayed and fell down, and the other person went to help, it didn't matter if he didn't help, he couldn't even stand up with one help, and he also fell down with the swaying.

When the other people on the road saw it, they all gathered around and scrambled for it, these people carried knives with them, and no one had the extra strength to fight, and whoever cut which piece counted which piece, and when the group of people dispersed in a hurry, the ground was clean, and even the blood and the scraps thrown down were licked and eaten by a few skinny leper dogs waiting behind.
