The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 298

The small official's surname is Liu, and the single name is a question.

He came with Xiao Yu's team, and helped guide the way along the way, and got to know everyone well, but in the army there are all kinds of surnames, and there are quite a few people with the surname Liu, so sometimes for convenience, everyone calls him "Sui". Brother from Zhouzhou", so you can tell it's him as soon as you hear it.

Liu Wen was clearing the snow with the soldiers of the Xuanying Army, when he heard someone calling him, he was still in a daze for a moment, straightened up and leaned on the wooden handle of the shovel in a daze.

"Xiao Liu——Liu Wen!"

He shivered, his eyes finally brightened, "Hey——who called me?"

He looked around, and saw Tsing Yi raised his hand and waved at him: "Here! The prince is looking for you!"

"okay!"

He handed the shovel to the brother beside him, and strode in the snow with big strides. The short few steps made him break out in sweat. Khan, the whole person is steaming outside.

The door curtain of the carriage was opened for nothing, and the wooden door outside was also tightly closed. It was really because it was too cold here and the wind was strong. Once it was opened, all the hard-earned people inside would be blown away.

So when Xiao Yu ordered people to do things, he only showed up through the window.

Liu Wen walked around in front of the carriage for a while, but no one came out. Just as he was wondering, he saw a hand stretched out from the side of the carriage, dragging him to the other side: "It's so cold, it's so cold that your ears can't work. , I called several times and you didn't respond."

Seeing that it was Tsing Yi, Liu Wen relaxed, and said with a helpless smile, "I really didn't hear it, but the sound of shoveling snow is all around here, it's too noisy."

"What orders does the lord have for the younger one?" Liu Wen rubbed his hands a little cautiously. He didn't have much contact with Xiao Yu, and he didn't know Xiao Yu's temperament very well, but he saw that he ate and walked with the soldiers all the way without any separation. After taking a break for a few days and traveling the whole time, he felt that this person was a ruthless person not to be trifled with.

So now that he had to face Xiao Yu, he felt a little uneasy.

Tsing Yi saw his nervousness, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said in relief: "Don't worry, the prince is easy to talk, you don't have to, he just asked you to ask something."

While speaking, Xiao Yu's snow-like face poked out from the window, and said softly, "Liu Wen, just take a look at this token, do you recognize it?"

She raised her chin towards Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi nodded, and gave him the token she just picked up, "This is it."

Liu Wen regained consciousness from Xiao Yu's astonishing appearance, stretched out his hand to take the token and flipped through it, and immediately became excited: "I recognize it! This is the waist badge worn by the Yamen servants in Yongcheng Yamen, and it is also used by the guards."

Excitedly and expectantly, he asked, "Where did this come from?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yu had a bad premonition in his heart. Generally, such things as waist badges should be carried with him, and they must not be lost after reviewing sooner or later. If they are buried under the heavy snow...

Either that person was accidentally lost while clearing the heavy snow, or that person was also buried under the heavy snow.

Xiao Yu's eyes were deep, and he looked at the snow where Tsing Yi had smashed his human figure out just now, "I picked it up from under that pile of snow."

Liu Wen was startled, turned his head to look at the pile of snow, and suddenly took two steps back.

"When you clear the snow, move lightly and see if there are...other things underneath."

Xiao Yu paused when he said it, but Han Yi and Qing Yi understood it, and they looked at each other, feeling a little inexplicable in their hearts.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy for a while, but this was not over yet, a sudden exclamation broke out from the Xuanying Army who opened the way ahead: "Ah——"

"Go and have a look!" Xiao Yu heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly told Han Yi to go.

Han Yi turned around and walked past.

The Black Eagles were divided into two teams, one on the left and the other on the right to open the way, Feng Jiang took the lead in the front, and could also warm up his body, but the shovel did not move when it went down, but hit something hard instead.

He leaned over and scraped the snow with his hands, and was immediately stunned.

There was a person lying on the ground, his whole body was stiff, and his exposed skin was covered with red corpse spots. Feng Jiang let out a heavy breath, "It's hopeless, I froze to death."

"what?"

"How did this happen? How did you freeze to death here?"

A soldier raised his eyes to look at the city gate not far away, and said puzzledly, "You can enter the city after a hundred steps, why did you freeze to death?"

"I can't hold on anymore, it's freezing cold, you see he still doesn't wear much."

Feng Jiang told the people around him: "Turn the person over and bury him somewhere later."

"Yes, General." The soldiers rushed forward and quickly turned the man over. It turned out to be a good look. There was still a smile on the face of the corpse, and the eyes were wide open. His pupils were distracted.

"what--"

This exclamation came from a little soldier.

"I will not die with peace, this is..."

Feng Jiang glanced down and frowned, "Let him—"

"What happened?" Han Yi came over, and the soldiers dispersed one after another, "Master Han Yi."

Seeing him coming, Feng Jiang sighed and pointed to the corpse on the ground: "I dug this halfway up just now. It was originally face down. I asked them to turn him over. Who would have seen such a weird expression."

Han Yi glanced at the face of the corpse that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his heart tightened, "Just now the prince said to let everyone dig lightly, just because he was afraid of digging up the corpse. I didn't expect it to be fulfilled so soon."

Feng Jiang's face was ugly: "I'm afraid there are more than one around here."

"Let's dig first, and we'll bury them all together on the spot. I'll go and talk to the prince."

Han Yi took a deep look at the corpse, and turned back.

……

After listening to Han Yi's report, Xiao Yu shook his head lightly: "It's not that they don't want to die, but that most people who are frozen to death will show a smile that is not a smile, or a very intoxicated expression. This is a sign of freezing to death." a characteristic."

Han Yi frowned: "However, why did this person freeze to death outside the city? It would be unreasonable to say that he was a refugee. This is Yongcheng, the first city to enter Suizhou. Only Suizhou was the worst hit this year." If Wucheng is really a refugee, it should be people from Suizhou running out, it is impossible for people from outside to go to Suizhou."

He stretched out his hand and gestured, "This is so close to the city gate, if he ran out from inside, he would never die here."

Xiao Yu pondered for a while, with a cold light in his eyes: "Then we have to ask the governor of Suizhou seriously."

The Xuanying army spent an hour clearing the pile of snow, and finally made a way out. The carriage and horses arrived at the gate of the city smoothly. Before, no one came to open the door when they shouted in the distance. Now that they are close, the Xuanying army went directly He knocked on the door, "Hey - where are the people inside? We are here for disaster relief, open the door and let us in!"

"Hey--"

However, every sound was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no one responded.

　I found a loophole yesterday and forgot to mention that one of the four princes was Ning Guogong at the beginning, but it didn’t appear for a long time, and I remembered it as An Guogong... Then I don’t know how much I wrote, the previous text is locked, it’s not good Change, I will change it to Ning Guogong again later, everyone ignores this point, just know that it is a person
