The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 388 388. Aihong

It was the first time for Feng Jinyao and others to see such a scene. It would be a lie to say that there were no disturbances in their hearts.

Yunxu was sold into the Feng family to serve Feng Jinyao since she was a child. If not, she would have been doing farm work in the fields, hoping that God would reward her with food.

 So when I saw this scene, I felt unbearable.

“Miss, we still have some pastries in the car, why don’t we share them with everyone?”

 “Yes, yes, they are so pitiful.”

He Huan pointed to the mother and daughter nearby and said.

Looking at their clothes, they were quite well-dressed, but both of them were a little sallow and thin, and they looked like they were not full.

Especially the little daughter, her clothes were empty. I don’t know if she had stolen the adults’ clothes, or she was too thin to hold up.

He Huan felt distressed watching this, and unconsciously thought of her mother who had passed away many years ago, and the close relationship between mother and daughter that had long been forgotten.

"These pastries are just a drop in the bucket. Our group is already eye-catching. If we attract attention, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move forward. Let's listen to the prince's arrangements first."

Feng Jinyao also felt pity for them in her heart, but this was not a good time to be soft-hearted. The problem must be truly solved.

Xiao Tingyi, who was riding horseback in front, saw this, and there was no less chill in his eyes.

The dignitaries in the capital played music every night, and the wealthy people in Zhejiang and Zhejiang also wore gold and silver. Who would have known that they also lived in Jin Dynasty, but at this moment they were hungry and homeless.

This is only the edge of the flood, and we don’t know what will happen when we get to the center.

Chi Zimo followed King Ding without saying a word.

 He has been in business for many years and has naturally traveled around.

 This was the first time he had seen such a scene. He couldn't describe how he felt, but he felt filled with panic.

It won't help if he gives out ten thousand taels of silver notes now. Without food, everything is out of the question.

The group walked through the muddy area and finally found a higher open space to rest for a while.

Xiao Tingyi stood on the protruding stone, and his whole person exuded an aura that kept strangers away.

Yang Zhao and Xu Lin did not dare to disturb him, so they brought the dry food to Feng Jinyao.

“Miss Third, the prince has not eaten for most of the day.”

Feng Jinyao frowned and looked at the two of them, as if to say, why don't you send them away?

Compared to Xu Lin's seriousness, Yang Zhao was a little more gentle and said to Feng Jinyao.

"If you give it to me, the prince will probably eat it. If we give it to you, I'm afraid we'll have to return it intact."

They have followed King Ding for many years and know his character well.

How could he eat when the people were mourning down there?

 But how can they gain strength without eating? They still have a tough battle to fight next.

Feng Jinyao took the pancake and beef jerky, took a deep breath and walked towards Xiao Tingyi.

 The sound of wind pierces the ears. It is said that this is the most comfortable time in the hot summer, but no one present dares to mention it.

Feng Jinyao walked to Xiao Tingyi and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, please eat something, otherwise you will be starved and the road ahead will be difficult."

Xiao Tingyi turned a deaf ear and seemed to be immersed in the sadness in front of him.

Feng Jinyao didn't interrupt, just stood beside him, waiting until he spoke.

 Sometimes silent companionship is more important.

 After burning the incense, Xiao Tingyi took the dry food in her hand and said with a wry smile.

 “I regret it, I shouldn’t have let you follow me.”

"Your Majesty, this is of my own free will." This is actually true, but to outsiders, it sounds like Feng Jinyao is deeply affectionate and willing to be with her through life and death.

The words blew along the wind and reached Chi Zimo's ears. For some reason, he felt that the meat pie in his hand suddenly lost its flavor.

“Half a quarter of an hour later, we set off at full speed and arrived at Shuzhou as quickly as possible.”

"yes!"

As soon as Xiao Tingyi gave the order, everyone started to get busy.

 Methodically and orderly, Chi Zimo watched the people he brought with him coldly. Although he was a little sour, he had to admit that the people in the army were better trained.

Compared to the group of private soldiers that gave him a headache, these ones in front of him had both combat effectiveness and orders and prohibitions. He would have to go to King Ding to ask for advice on how to run the army someday.

It’s just that I don’t want to talk about this at the moment, so I ordered the people who were accompanying me to quickly pack up.

 In the next dozen hours, Chi Zimo once again saw what it means to be a soldier.

They haven’t rested since they set out.

 Feng Jinyao and others in the carriage can still take a short rest, but everyone riding the horse is always on the road.

Even the horses they brought seemed not to get tired, which surprised Chi Zimo.

  In the evening of the second day, when they arrived at Shuzhou City, the situation here was not as serious as they imagined.

There are very few refugees, but the damage in the fields is very serious. The houses and roofs have been washed down, and there are even dried fish and shrimps on the ground. It rains and the sun shines, and there is a strong smell of fish everywhere. The smell is disgusting.

 King Ding ordered everyone to take the pills and then tie the scarves tightly around their mouths and noses.

“Natural disasters are often followed by plagues. Not many people see death nowadays. Perhaps the plague can be suppressed, but these fish and shrimps must be dealt with quickly, otherwise it will cause other diseases and spread.”

"yes!"

Yang Zhao took the two of them and immediately came to King Ding and spoke.

“Your Majesty, let me go find my brother and send a thousand elite soldiers to clean up this place.”

“Well, go and come back quickly, don’t delay.”

"yes!"

Yang Zhao pulled the reins and led the people in the direction of the Southwest Army. Xu Lin took two steps forward on horseback and guarded King Ding's side.

Looking at his figure leaving quickly, King Ding withdrew his gaze and then said to everyone.

"Set off."

The group of people rushed towards the main city of Shuzhou.

 The closer Xiao Tingyi got, the tighter his brows became.

It turns out that the refugees were placed outside the city, and a large number of tents were set up. However, the summer in Shuzhou is extremely hot and humid. The more people are crowded, the more shocking it is.

Although they were dressed simply, the temperament of the people accompanying King Ding was extraordinary. The refugees gathered around energetically and looked at the group.

Who is it that is still running here at this time?

If they were the ministers of the DPRK, they were not seen bringing grain carts behind them, so everyone was still waiting and watching.

 After entering the city, the crowding was much better.

There are a few pedestrians walking sporadically on the streets of the city. Judging from the clothes, they seem to be servants of wealthy families.

80% of them are out shopping, and they are afraid of meeting other people, so they are very sneaky.

 Wang Ding and his entourage went straight to the magistrate's office.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he met Wen Zhonghe, the uncle of the Wen family who had returned from outside. He was also the prefect of Shuzhou, Wen Zhonghe.
