Chapter 526 All Robbed (Part [-])
Although sooner or later you can rank seniors and juniors based on seniority, but because I don't know the exact birthday of Ah Li, Xia Zhaoyi simply said it was older.

Back in the room, I didn't care to read a book.

She leaned against the bed and looked at the closed cover in her hand. There was no title of the book, only the words "Fengqingang" in the corner of the cover.

From Feng Qingang, she thought of Tang Xiangsi again.

Today I wanted to talk to Master about Tang Xiangsi and the deceased person mentioned in the poem, but Zhili followed her, so she didn't ask.

Xia Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, stopped thinking, got out of bed, put the book on the table, and blew out the candle.

For the next few days, Xia Zhaoyi kept reading.

Apart from this book, she also read several other books on alchemy, medicine, torture, and witchcraft.

Zhili and Immortal Bailu studied calligraphy, paintings and steles all day long, and kept reading history books. From the end of summer to the beginning of the chapter, all the names, year names, temple names, and posthumous names of the emperors of all dynasties, his They are all memorized backwards, and even specially studied the customs and characteristics of various dynasties and dynasties.

However, before discussing with Xia Zhaoyi in the future, Xia Zhaoyi packed the small package in the morning of the fourth day and prepared to leave.

She changed the robes of Yuanhe Zongmen. She was wearing a warm brown dress with waist and sleeves and hair. She has not really grown up yet, but she already has an indescribably heroic posture. The Tsinghua temperament in her bones is restrained and stable. The ones look like they are in their 30s.

Reluctantly, he sent her to the gate of the back mountain, and repeatedly urged her to come back quickly.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said: "You read the book well and practice your footwork well. When I come back, I will give you a test."

"If I read all the books that Master gave me, will my little sister be able to come back?" Zhi Li said.

The master is not strict with him, but the master himself is a serious and unsmiling person, and sometimes he even feels out of breath.

But this little senior sister who appeared out of nowhere made Zhili realize that being by the master's side is not so depressing, especially that the little senior sister would talk to the master a few times when she was fine. Although the master had no expression on his face, Zhili could tell that, Master is in a very good mood.

It turns out that Master is still someone who can be ridiculed for a few words in person.

So for the appearance of the little senior sister, Zhili likes it, as if the spring breeze is blowing.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, but still didn't give a specific time for Zhili to come back, because she really didn't know.

Saying goodbye to Zhili and Immortal Master Bailu who was brought by him, Xia Zhaoyi turned and left.

It has been warm for the past few days, but it started to get cold again today. It should snow at night, but I don't know what the weather will be like in the capital.

Lao Tong and Zhi Changle were waiting at the foot of the mountain, followed by three horses.

Xia Zhaoyi saw it from a distance, and after walking down the mountain path, he went over and said, "Are you leaving too?"

"Well," Lao Tong nodded, "Ali, we will accompany you to the capital."

"The two of us have been soldiers at any rate, we can fight and carry what we can," Zhi Changle said, "Don't be afraid that we will get in the way, give us a spear, and we will chop off ten heads for you!"

Seeing Zhi Changle exaggerating, Old Tong hurriedly stopped him: "What are you talking about!"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, when I return to the capital this time, I want to kidnap someone."

"Kidnapping?"

"Who!"

"Ari, tell me!"

The two big men shouted, as if they could get the moon even if the girl wanted it.

"Lord Zhu," Xia Zhaoyi said, "maybe tied up, maybe not tied up, it depends on whether he wants to go or not."

In the past few days, according to the situation learned from the falcon's message, it is said that Zhu Xian has been staying in the capital, and at least two groups of people are already going to the capital.

"Master Zhu Xianzhu?" Old Tong said.

"Yes." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

"Tied!" Zhi Changle yelled, getting on his horse, "Let's go, Ah Li, no matter how powerful you are alone, you still don't have enough strength, let's go and tie it up!"

Xia Zhaoyi pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand to take the reins handed over by Old Tong, got on the horse and said, "Then let's go."

The official road to the north is full of people, with their families and mouths, and there are also officers and soldiers walking among them, and many of them are going north like them.

Because of the retrograde, it was too inconvenient to travel, so they simply got off the official road and planned to go north from Guhuai Town.

As a result, in the evening, a large number of refugees poured in from the northeast.

At the beginning there were only a few sporadically, and later more and more came from the direction of Juyang Mountain.

"This look is too pitiful." Zhi Changle looked at them from afar.

Xia Zhaoyi's horse walked ahead of them, looking at the slow-moving refugees.

The snow on the plain has not yet melted, and it is reflected in her eyes, clear and gentle.

"They're all old and weak, women and children," said Old Tong, "I didn't see a single grown man."

"You're wrong," Zhi Changle corrected, "There are no children either."

Xia Zhaoyi withdrew his gaze, speeded up, and said, "The children have been eaten up, and the strong men have been left behind. Now we are short of troops."

In the famine era, cannibalism often happened, and when Pei Feng was in Peifeng, they had seen a more bloody and cruel side, which was taking people's brains.But now hearing Xia Zhaoyi's words, Lao Tong and Zhi Changle's hearts still skipped a beat.

Finding that the girl had moved several feet away, the two of them hurriedly patted their horses to keep up.

These refugees were dispersed by Yan Qinglin's order a few days ago. Yongdingmen and Guangqumen must not be taken down, so they don't need to keep these people anymore.

And the grown-up strong men really wanted to stay, just like what Xia Zhaoyi said, there was a shortage of troops now.

As for the food problem, she was still trying to find a way, but the capital had no way to get it anymore.

Some people pretended to be them and have been causing trouble in the capital, provoking others, and fighting violently. It is useless for her to come forward in person, but none of the men around her can have the eloquence to ask for food at this juncture. Food is already priced and there is no market. .

Yan Qinglin guessed who was causing trouble for her, but she had no way to deal with that Zhao Ning at present, and even had to find a way to please her and reconcile with her, because the supplies that Zhao Ning had hoarded were too much. tempting.

The subordinates came in to report the latest situation to Yan Qinglin, and there was still very little grain left.

Yan Qinglin stood by the window, put his hands on the window sill, and looked at the village outside the window.

"Seeing that the army is coming day by day..." the subordinate said again at this time.

Yan Qinglin's brows tightened, and her mood became worse.

The gates of the city were not taken down, and there was not enough food. There were about [-] strong men left behind to form an army.

"Those villagers," Yan Qinglin said, seeing a few old people passing by with fish baskets in their hands, "they probably have the habit of hoarding food."

After a pause, he said, "Ma'am means."

"Xiaoling Village, Huanshan Village, all the villages in Fenghe County," Yan Qinglin said slowly, "all of them have been robbed."
