Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

"What's the matter?" The subordinate of Dafengxue came in such a hurry, needless to say, something very serious must have happened, Zhu Xiangyu's expression froze, and he dropped the sack on his shoulder to the ground again.

"General, something happened to the food and grass." The subordinate, who was in the middle of the winter, was sweating profusely, and said while wiping the sweat from his face.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." As soon as Zhu Xiangyu heard that it was about food and grass, Zhu Xiangyu was more anxious than this subordinate, and he grabbed his collar and asked eagerly.

"Snow, avalanche, the avenue to Luozhou is blocked by snow, food and grass can't get through." The subordinate said.

"Ham, it's not a big deal, why are you so surprised?" The chief soldier walked over with a relaxed expression.

Zhu Xiangyu's tense nerves also relaxed, and he blamed his subordinates, "Look at you, you are so promising? When you encounter something, you yell, where is the avalanche? Just send someone to clear it.'

The subordinate didn't dare to breathe heavily after being blamed, and said in a low voice, "The pass at the junction of Luozhou and Lizhou, but general, I sent someone to detour to check the situation and haven't come back for a few days. The subordinate is worried.
Hearing this, the faces of Zhu Xiangyu and the general soldier changed.

It stands to reason that the avalanche caused the road to be blocked, and the general in charge of transporting grain and grass should have reported it to him immediately. Why not only did he not report, but there was no news?
So there is only one possibility, something happened in the rear.

But what could happen?
Raided? Food and grass burned?
Impossible, everything in the capital is under the control of the master Wei Xuanyuan, it is impossible for such a thing to happen.

Zhu Xiangyu thought about it and couldn't understand it, so he said to his subordinate, "Send a few more people to Lizhou, and see what General Lin Shen is up to.

"Yes." The commander-in-chief responded, and hurriedly arranged to go.

Food and grass are a big deal, if something goes wrong, how can we fight this battle? Although Zhu Xiangyu didn't publicize this bad thing to spoil the interest of his brothers, after all, women are not interested in playing, and the wine and meat are not so delicious.

After sending several people to Lizhou to inquire about the situation, they waited in the barracks for news.

There is a big pass on the road from Lizhou to Luozhou. There are mountains on both sides, and the road passes through the middle.

And the heavy snow on several snow-capped mountains slid down from the hillside, blocking the pass in the middle tightly.

The convoy transporting food and grass was blocked here, cold and hungry.

General Lin Shen was also anxious and annoyed. Seeing that it was getting dark, he had no choice but to retreat.

Fortunately, there is a small town not far behind. Lin Shen will arrange for everyone to camp in a flat place outside the town, and send heavy troops to guard it at night, just in case.

At the Yuelai Inn in the town, the blizzard outside finally stopped.

In the past few days, it has been snowing for half a month as if the sky has been broken. The snow piles on both sides of the street are higher than people. Many shops have been blocked by the snow and have to close their doors.

Outside the gate of Yuelai Inn, there are two big snow lions piled up on one side, which are carved vividly.

In the lobby of the inn, the shopkeeper was dozing off by the fire.

At this time, a carriage came along the empty street and stopped at the door of the inn.

A gray-haired old man and two girls alighted from the carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage to the backyard of the inn.

"Shopkeeper, do you still have a room? Come to two rooms." Although the speaker was an unfamiliar face, the voice was definitely Ah Qin.

And the other woman next to her was Jiang Yuan, and the old man wrapped in a thick fox fur cloak was Emperor Qi Heng.

Out of the grasp of the mother Gu, Emperor Qi Heng regained his sense of autonomy.

Although he suffered a lot of torture some time ago, after this period of recuperation, he has improved a lot. He became white and fat with flesh on his face, and he walked into the inn with the help of the shadow.

When the shopkeeper saw the business, he immediately regained his spirits and stood up with a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes in the upper room, please come inside the guest officer." The shopkeeper said as he took the money handed over by Aqin, and then took the key to the guest room and led several people upstairs.

The four of them changed their appearances and dressed up as a family of four. The father took a son and two daughters to Daqi, and the journey was tight and safe.

"Guest officer, hot water will be brought up for you later." The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles, "If you need food, it's available downstairs, or it can be delivered to your room. If you need something, just ask Xiaoer."
"Okay, thank you shopkeeper." Shadow thanked with a smile.

"Guest officer, please don't hesitate to order me if you have anything to do." The shopkeeper said a few words and went downstairs, while the four of them went into their rooms to put their luggage away.

For dinner, I ordered a pot of clear water chicken, and asked the staff to bring it to the room, set it on a small charcoal stove, and blanched vegetables in the boiling chicken soup.

It was fresh and warm, and everyone enjoyed it.

On a blizzard day, there were no other guests in the inn, and only Qi Hengdi, Aqin, Jiang Yuying and other four people lived on the entire second floor.

After the meal, everyone grilled the fire and began to chat quietly.

Emperor Qi Heng looked at the shadow and spoke appreciatively.

"The way you created an avalanche with that trick is absolutely insane.'

"Your Majesty has praised you." Ying Ying scratched his head embarrassingly after hearing Emperor Qi Heng's praise, "Actually, there is no trick. Everyone in the north knows that shouting at the snow-capped mountains can cause an avalanche."

"But brother Ying, you are really brave. So much snow is pouring down, I don't know how dangerous it is." Aqin still has lingering fears when she recalls it. At that time, she thought that the shadow was buried under the snow, and she was so anxious Almost cried.

"Oh, my kung fu is good, sister Aqin is worried." Seeing that Aqin was so worried about him, Ying's face turned red.

Jiang Yuan laughed and said from the side, "Your Majesty, I think they see each other right, why don't you give them a marriage."

Emperor Qi Heng nodded with a smile, "That's no problem, we'll do it when we arrive in Kang'an City."

Aqin blushed immediately, "Look at the emperor and sister Jiang Yu'an, making fun of us again."

After saying a few light words, the four heads got closer again.

Shadow suggested in a low voice.

"The batch of food and grass is now stationed outside the town, and we must find a way to dispose of it. Zhu Xiangyu's soldiers will lose the battle without food and grass."

It was precisely because they were worried that this battle would be difficult to fight that the four of them thought of ways to cause the avalanche, which blocked the food convoy in Lizhou.

"How to deal with it?" Emperor Qi Heng showed a touch of anxiety on his face, "Ah Xun doesn't know how much he needs this batch of food, but it's a pity that it can't be delivered to him, alas."

"Yes, the soldiers may be starving." Shadow nodded with a heavy heart, silently, and gritted his teeth, "But Your Highness, I can't keep this batch of food, I have to find a way to dispose of it, or use The most simple and direct way is to burn the grain truck with a fire."

Aqin immediately objected: "What a pity to burn it? So much food can save many lives."

After they rescued Emperor Qiheng from the palace, they went all the way south. On the way, they saw the bones of people who had died of freezing and starvation from time to time. There was a shortage of food everywhere.

"I also don't think it can be burned." Jiang Yu'an's eyes flashed cleverly, "Do you want to find a way to distribute these grains to the common people?"

Hearing what Jiang Yuan said, Emperor Qi Heng looked over with a smile, "Girl Jiang, you have a lot of ideas here, do you have any way to deliver these grains to the people?" (End of this chapter)
