The flying knife collided with the engineer shovel, bent and bounced back.
With a bang, the flying knife stuck in the door frame.
The door was opened at some point, and a tall man who looked to be less than 30 years old stood outside.
“Brother!”
When Lu Chen saw the face of the man in front of him clearly, his anger immediately dissipated and he ran towards the man in ecstasy.
She hugged the man's waist.
"Brother, I miss you so much!"
"Everyone said you were dead, I didn't expect I would see you again!"
The man grabbed the collar of Lu Chen's shirt at the back of his neck and pushed away the person who was sticking to him like a dog-skin plaster.
The man said with disgust: "You are an adult, why are you crying so much?"
...
...
The four of them entered the room, and Lu Chen introduced the man to Xiao Jingzhou.
"Your Highness, this is my elder brother, Lu Feng."
Lu Feng knelt on one knee and said, "I apologize for the offense I caused you before. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Get up, this is not your fault.
I also have to thank you for escorting the Grand Tutor into Zhiyi City.
It was you who delivered the news of Grand Tutor's death to the capital, right? ”
Lu Feng did not stand up: "Yes!"
"Before his death, the Grand Tutor instructed not to send the letter to the capital. I acted on my own initiative. I hope Your Highness will punish me."
Xiao Jingzhou sat on a square stool and winked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen understood what he meant and helped Lu Feng up.
Xiao Jingzhou asked, "Where is the body of the Grand Master buried?"
Lu Feng's face was neither sad nor happy: "The Grand Tutor ordered his subordinates to burn it and scatter it on the walls of Zhiyi City.
He wanted to use his ashes to protect the border town of Dajing.
That is the spirit tablet I carved for the Grand Tutor. ”
He pointed to a room, and Xiao Jingzhou walked in and kowtowed three times in front of the spirit tablet. Lu Chen behind him followed suit and kowtowed.
Xiao Jingzhou walked out of the room with red eyes, and Lu Chen was holding the spirit tablet in his arms.
The four of them returned to the dim main room again.
Xiao Jingzhou asked Lu Feng: "Why didn't you leave?"
Lu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "The imperial court is reluctant to provide relief. There is no food anywhere. Where can we go?"
Gu Zhenbei sighed and sat down at the table dejectedly.
He originally wanted to go to provide disaster relief, but he didn't expect that his entire family would be exiled. It's hard to believe.
Xiao Jingzhou wanted to know the situation in the city, but he had only heard the news from Zhou Wu before.
He has always believed that news that has been verified by multiple parties is more accurate.
"What's the situation in the city now?"
It has not rained in the north for a long time, the productivity is extremely low, and the weather is bad all year round.
In the past two years, the number of exiles has increased dramatically, and the remaining food in the city has long been consumed.
Officials initially sold grain at high prices, but when they saw that something was wrong, they ordered soldiers to suppress the people and collect the grain.
When the people ran out of food, they dug up grass roots and ate tree bark, both of which were good options.
After the nearby vegetation was pulled out, they could only find some fine white mud and make mud cakes to satisfy their hunger.
Over time, many people starved to death, and some died from having their stomachs burst by eating earth cakes.
Lu Feng showed a sad look on his face: "Your Highness, you should take your people away.
There is no way out in Zhiyi City. ”
Xiao Jingzhou shook his head: "I came here to save the people.
Believe me, we can get some food.
Let the people have enough food to eat and live well. ”
Lu Fenggen didn't believe what he said and wanted to persuade him again, but he saw white flour buns and water in a transparent bottle suddenly appear in front of him.
His eyes widened and he pinched his thigh hard.
pain!
He is not dreaming!
"Brother, eat quickly!" Lu Chen brought the food to him.
Lu Feng grabbed the steamed bun and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Taking a sip of water and a bite of steamed bun, it feels like eating a feast.
tasty! Really delicious!
He now truly believes that the prince can save the people of Yicheng!
After Lu Feng had eaten and drunk his fill, he quickly explained to Xiao Jingzhou the situation of the various forces in the city.
"General Yang Jin led his troops to guard Zhiyi City, and the imperial court sent a military supervisor.
General Yang Jin was restricted everywhere.
The villain used chicken feathers as a token of authority and ordered 20,000 soldiers to guard the city gates and prevent civilians from leaving the city, which led to the situation we see today.
A city with a population of more than 100,000 now probably has less than 100,000 people. ”
Gu Zhenbei was a soldier and knew the hardships of having a military supervisor standing in the way.
He felt very angry after empathizing with her: "The thief ruined the country! How is Yang Jin now?"
Lu Feng said: "General Yang's personal soldiers are less than 3,000.
The military inspector held the military command, and the soldiers had to obey his orders.
General Yang Jin was also unable to resist. ”
Xiao Jingzhou asked: "Do you have a way to take me to see Yang Jin?"
Lu Feng thought for a moment, a firm look in his eyes, and nodded seriously.
"able!"
The four people came out of the house. Lu Chen put the spirit tablet into the bag and saw the letter appear in the wooden bowl.
"Your Highness." After saying that, he handed the letter to Xiao Jingzhou.
Xiao Jingzhou unfolded the letter and saw a series of words.
Jiang Zhenyu told him that the food was on the way and would be delivered to him in the evening.
Ask him if he has enough space to receive the goods.
Xiao Jingzhou didn't expect that in the 21st century, buying things could be so quick.
Seeing that it was still light, Miss Jiang arranged for food to be delivered on the road.
He had to quickly stabilize the situation in Zhiyi City before he could arrange to receive the goods.
Otherwise, he would be like a child carrying gold through the market. Without the ability to protect oneself, one will become coveted and invite trouble.
Xiao Jingzhou quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Jiang Zhenyu.
[Thank you Miss Jiang for your hard work. Jingzhou cannot receive the goods for the time being, so I hope you can keep them for the time being.
Wait until Jingzhou is stabilized and Yicheng is stopped before taking the food. 】
Soon, Mu Bo received a reply from the 21st century.
[Okay, I'll teleport you there once you stabilize the situation.]
I don't know what's going on with you, I hope everything goes well for you.
Remember to be safe! 】
Xiao Jingzhou put away the letter and followed Lu Feng all the way to the outside of the military camp.
The soldiers outside the tent had taken off their armor and were lying on the ground weakly.
The soldier guarding the entrance of the military camp raised his sword tremblingly and pointed it at Xiao Jingzhou and his three companions.
The leader's voice sounded as if there was a mouthful of sand in it.
"Who are you and why are you trespassing into the military camp?"
"Leave quickly, be careful, no one will be spared under the knife!"
After saying that, the leader's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
When the people around him saw this, they didn't help him, as if they were used to it.
Xiao Jingzhou winked at Lu Chen, who immediately took out a water bag and fed the soldiers a sip of water.
When the people around saw this, greed flashed in their eyes, as if they wanted to rush forward and snatch the things at any time.
Xiao Jingzhou took the opportunity to say, "Go and call your general out and tell him that the court has sent people to deliver relief grain."
"food?"
"Where is the food?"
When everyone heard what Xiao Jingzhou said, they stretched their necks to look behind the four people.
Unfortunately, there was nothing behind them, and they didn't look like they had any food on them.
Lu Chen fed water to the unconscious soldier and just as he was about to stand up, the water bag in his hand was snatched away.
"quick!"
"Give me a drink!"
Yang Jin walked with weak legs to the entrance of the military camp and saw several people scrambling for a water bag.
"This is a military camp, how can this be allowed? Ten military sticks for each person!"
After the soldiers who stole the water bags were taken away, Yang Jin walked up and looked at them.
"The court sent you to deliver food?"
"Where's the food?"
