Jiang Zhenyu unfolded the letter and didn't see a single line of text.
painting?
She didn't expect that Xiao Jingzhou would still have the mind to draw for her after going through so much danger.
Pond, steamed buns.
One person stood on soybeans and held up the statue, and everyone bowed down to him.
In Xiao Jingzhou's previous letter, he had drawn a picture of people worshiping the moon.
Jiang Zhenyu was surprised: "Is this a man-made god?"
"What's going on with Xiao Jingzhou?"
Then she received another letter.
[The girl's good deeds are like a living god to Jingzhou! 】
...
...
This sentence made her blush completely.
…
Noon.
Zhou Wu was unsure of Xiao Jingzhou's attitude. He thought he and his brothers would starve.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen still brought them steamed buns.
Zhou Wu was very aware of the situation and only distributed the spoils to his brothers, and did not give any to those who followed Zhang Da.
As they were about to arrive at Zhiyi City, Zhang Da began to get anxious because he had not completed the task assigned by his superiors.
He walked up to Hou Si and whispered, “Let me tell you a secret.
I have food.
As long as you convince Zhou Wu and join me in killing the deposed prince, I will promise to save your lives! ”
Hou Si glanced at him with a suspicious look on his face: "No evidence."
Zhang Da smiled mysteriously, looked around, and took out a small cloth bag from his chest.
“This is a chicken bone I found on the road.
Even though there are only bones left, if you smell the food now, you won’t starve to death.
When we get to Zhiyi City and cook the soup, it will last for at least three days! ”
Hou Si touched the steamed bun in his arms and his eyes widened in shock.
Isn't this what they spit out?
Hou Si reacted quickly. Zhang Da was behind them the day before, but this morning he was ahead of them.
This means that last night, Zhang Da watched as the horse bandits surrounded them, but this guy just did nothing and ran away!
He shouted angrily, "Get lost!"
Seeing that he was ungrateful, Zhang Da cursed him and left.
Zhou Wu didn't know what was going on. Seeing that everyone had rested enough, he shouted for them to hurry up.
As they were about to arrive at Zhiyi City, everyone began to get nervous.
There is anticipation, excitement, and also fear of the unknown.
Xiao Jingzhou held the learning machine, put on headphones, and listened while walking.
The group had been walking for half an hour when they started to make a noise for some reason.
Xiao Jingzhou took off his headphones and glanced at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen checked the situation and returned.
"Your Highness, the officers are fighting over a bag of beans!"
Xiao Jingzhou frowned and put away the learning machine: "Let's go and take a look."
When Xiao Jingzhou arrived, seven or eight officers were fighting with each other and beans were scattered all over the ground.
"Don't grab it! I saw it first!"
"Give it to me, give it to me! It's all mine!"
Zhang Da was pushed to the ground, and his anger reached the top of his head.
He cursed loudly:
"This is outrageous! How dare you attack me!"
"Hold him down!"
Zhou Wu wanted to step forward to stop the fight, but the men were fighting too fiercely and he couldn't use weapons, so he couldn't get close at all.
During the scuffle, someone grabbed a stone and threw it at the other person.
The person who was hit by the stone had two lines of blood spurting out of his head and slowly flowing down his cheeks.
With a bang.
Facing the ground, his whole body fell vertically.
"You dare to kill my brother, die!"
Seeing the man lying on the ground, an officer roared, drew his sword and stabbed the man who was holding the stone.
White knife goes in, red knife comes out.
Seeing that things were not going well, Zhou Wu immediately ordered his men to draw their swords.
"Stop it!"
With the cold sword at their necks, the officers who were fighting for the beans stopped immediately.
Zhou Wu's face was filled with anger, and he was furious at the lack of resistance: "For a bag of beans, he actually harmed the life of his colleague!"
Zhang Da said nothing, pushed Zhou Wu's knife away, dusted himself off and stood up.
Just as he bent over to take the bag of beans.
Suddenly, a big knife was inserted into his hand. The sharp blade was so close to him that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Jingzhou looked at the cloth bag on the ground without saying a word.
Lu Chen asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Zhou Wu will deal with it."
As expected, Zhou Wu said: "Bury these two brothers."
Xiao Jingzhou lent the officers a few engineering shovels, which helped them get twice the result with half the effort, and they quickly dug two pits.
Zhou Wu picked up the cloth bag, picked up all the beans on the ground, and poured them into the palms of the two corpses.
Zhang Da rushed forward and shouted angrily: "Are you sick?
If you don't eat the food, you'll leave it for the dead. ”
Zhou Wu walked up to him, face to face, and shouted, "Whoever dares to dig it out will be killed by me!"
Zhang Da was completely speechless, his face turned red with anger, and he didn't dare to say another word.
After the two officers buried the body, Zhou Wu shouted for people to hurry on.
Xiao Jingzhou asked Lu Chen to find Zhou Wu and ask for the cloth bag for the beans.
Lu Chen said: "Your Highness, it's a navy blue cloth bag, and there's no embroidery on it.
The streets of the capital were littered with them, and it was impossible to tell who dropped them. ”
Xiao Jingzhou asked: "Did Zhang Da discover it first?"
"right!"
Xiao Jingzhou understood: "This man had a grudge against Zhang Da. He wanted to kill him, but he killed others instead."
After that, he handed the cloth bag to Lu Chen and said, "Give it back to Zhou Wu."
The fight lasted half an hour.
Everyone had to speed up and keep on moving.
Everyone wants to reach Zhiyi City before the sun sets.
The group finally arrived at their destination.
"Everyone, look! Zhiyi City is just ahead!"
"We are finally here, God bless you!"
The vast territory, looking up you can see the towering city walls.
They stood on the flat wasteland, as small as ants, heading towards the last city on the border.
The closer they got, the more they realized something was wrong.
Hou Si shouted, “What’s going on?
Why are the city gates open but no one is guarding them? ”
Hou Si's shout aroused everyone's vigilance, and many people began to panic.
"There's no one guarding the city gates, so something must be wrong inside the city!"
"What should we do now?"
"We are almost at Zhiyi City. Aren't we going to go in?"
"If we don't enter Zhiyi City, we will be charged with crimes. Where else can we go?"
When Xiao Jingzhou saw the wide-open city gate, his brows furrowed.
The construction of Zhiyi City began since the founding of Dajing. The people exiled here, in addition to mining and making blades, had to reinforce the city. I don’t know how many enemies we have resisted who wanted to invade Dajing’s territory.
I didn't expect that people would be so lax now.
Zhou Wu noticed something was wrong and ran to Xiao Jingzhou to report.
“Your Highness, the west gate is close to the mine and has always been the most heavily guarded gate.
I don't know why it turned out like this. ”
After calming everyone down, Gu Zhenbei walked over to Xiao Jingzhou.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Xiao Jingzhou thought of the small town he passed by, where emaciated refugees were lying outside the village gate.
This is the case even for five or six thousand people.
What's more, there were more than 30,000 exiled prisoners in Zhiyi City, and 20,000 soldiers stationed in the city.
There are also ordinary people who have lived here for generations.
It is estimated that there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 people in the city.
Xiao Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, "The sun is about to set, let's rest outside the city for a night.
Tomorrow we will send someone into the city to investigate first, and then make plans! ”
