The chef girl has her own system

Chapter 8 Forced to Cross the River
Since the chaos of group division in the world, after decades, it has basically been divided into two countries, the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Dynasties.

There are also small groups who want to become kings on their own, but they are also recovered by the two countries.

There is a river next to Yucheng, named Xuyu River.

With this river as the boundary, the south is the border of the Nanjin Kingdom, and the north is the border of the Guangbei Kingdom.And Yucheng belongs to Guangbei Kingdom.

But the heart of the city lord of Yucheng has been wavering, and he is even more inclined to Nanjin Kingdom.

If it weren't for the river, Fang Li, the lord of Yucheng, would have taken refuge in Nanjin long ago.

"Father, what are you going to do?!" Fang Zimei was dressed in green, and stood in front of Fang Li with her arms outstretched.

Fang Li was dressed in black armor, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a mustache under his nose.Seeing that his son was still so ignorant, he immediately recruited his subordinates.

"Come here! Take the young city lord down and take care of him. When you cross the river later, tie him up and carry him over!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled Fang Zimei away and got on the horse.

A group of personal guards followed closely, leaving Fang Zimei, whose arms were held down, standing there with blue veins throbbing with anxiety.

He had read the letter from Emperor Nanjin to his father. Nanjin promised that if his father took the people of Yucheng and defected there.The position of Prime Minister is bestowed with a reward of ten thousand taels, and the mansion and beautiful concubine can be chosen at will.There is also an additional one, according to the number of people who defected to the past, additional rewards will be added.One more person, more money.

His father was only blinded by money for a moment, and did not consider the situation after entering Nanjin.

The soldiers under him will definitely be confiscated. Isn't the position of Xiangguo just a civil servant?With no soldiers under his command, isn't it at the mercy of others? !

After years of war in Nanjin, did they really receive so many gold and silver rewards? !

"Father!" Fang Zimei screamed, watching her father disappear at the end of the street in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Lian Zhi thought that she was snatched away by her son, and she would have to fight to get out of trouble.

She didn't expect her to think narrowly of people.

The soldier took her all the way to the south gate, and threw her into the ranks of civilians leaving the city.

Lian Zhi could only follow the flow of people all the way to the riverside.

At this time, the riverside is densely packed with people.

Those people who were carrying big and small bags and dragging their families with their mouths became restless when they saw a row of dangling bamboo rafts floating on the river.

According to the soldiers who maintained order around them, the common people were going to cross the river on these bamboo rafts.

Those bamboo rafts were tied together with thick hemp ropes, floating with the river, as if they would be washed away at any moment.Under such circumstances, how to cross the river?
Da da da.
Fang Li rode to the riverside, and someone opened the way for the city lord.

Standing on a high stone pier, Fang Li explained to the restless people: "Folks! Throw away all the things in your hands. Now follow me across the river! As long as we pass, each of us will get Nan The house, the land, the money, the beautiful lady!"

"As long as there is life, don't worry about not having a good life!"

"Put down the burden in your hands and cross the river with me!"

Fang Li's words made the people who gathered in the crowd even more hesitant and flustered.

Because, he said that crossing the river requires life to have those things.Looking at the swaying bamboo rafts in the river, who can guarantee that they will reach the other side of the river alive?
Lian Zhi even clasped her fingers and muttered: "I want Meijiao Niang to have a fart? A maid who washes her feet?!"

Fang Li by the river walked to the bamboo raft first, but when he looked back, no one followed.

"Why are you still hesitating?! The gate of Yucheng will be breached by the Guangbei army soon. If you want to escape, there will be no way out!" Fang Li raised his arms violently.

Then Fang Li didn't care whether the people behind him followed or not, he took the lead on the bamboo raft, intending to set an example for these people.

It wasn't until he stood on the bamboo raft that he realized that without some knowledge in martial arts, it was impossible to walk across.

So he retreated and arranged some soldiers with steady feet to stand on the bamboo raft, one at a time.

"Folks, don't be afraid, these are all very skillful. You go up one by one, and they will escort you across the river!" Fang Li looked at the densely packed crowd of more than 2000 people. It was all money.

For the sake of money, let him stay in the rear.

"Come on, I'll personally escort you to the raft." Fang Li stretched out his hand and waved to a gray-haired old man in front of him.

The old man had a gray cloth package hanging on his chest, and Fang Li tremblingly helped him onto the bamboo raft.

With the elders leading the way, the people followed one after another.Consider your own belongings, and leave what you can't take away.

Lian Zhi tiptoed to take a look, and happened to see that handsome young man again.

Next to the young master was a woman in a maroon dress, holding the young master's face lovingly and talking.

Lian Zhi, of course, also saw the annoying coachman beside him, gave a smirk, and squeezed through the crowd.

"Hi, Brother Ah Qing!"

The coachman Ah Qing was patted on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw Lian Zhi with messy hair.Jumping away like hell, but accidentally stepped on someone else's foot.

After a long apology, he looked at Lian Zhi squarely. "You shameless, you posted it again!"

Lian Zhi smiled at the young master who was looking towards her, and then said back: "Brother Ah Qing said this, isn't this what we call fate?"

Ah Qing was about to reply, when the people at the South Bianmen exit crowded over in confusion.

Lian Zhi was almost knocked down, so she made a quick decision and grabbed Ah Qing's sleeve regardless of the previous suspicion.

Lian Zhi stood firm, Ah Qing fell to the ground and was stepped on several times
Someone shouted loudly: "City Lord! It's not good! The Guangbei army has attacked!"

"Cross the river quickly! Cross the river quickly!"

One after another, Lian Zhi could only follow the crowd towards the river.

There was the sound of swords and guns clashing at the south gate, and even Zhi didn't bother to look back.

Fang Ligao, the lord of Yucheng, sat on his horse and watched the battle at Nanbianmen.

Someone in the personal guard advised him: "City Lord, please cross the river first, and leave this place to our queen."

Fang Li snatched the spear from the guard's hand, with a greedy look in his eyes. "You say, if I take the head of the young master of Guangbei to Nanjin, I will not only get the position of Xiangguo."

At this time, Fang Zimei, who was bound and held aside and was about to cross the river, struggled desperately to spit out the cloth ball in her mouth. "Father! Don't be greedy! You won't get anything in the end!"

Fang Li gave a look, and the guards who were holding Fang Zimei immediately picked up the cloth ball and stuffed it in.

Lian Zhi had already stepped onto the bamboo raft, and when she heard the sound of fighting getting closer, she looked back.

At this time, the man in golden armor was waving a long sword and facing Fang Li.

The man in the golden armor also wore a metal mask with the same texture as the armor, only his eyes were exposed.

Judging from Fang Li's harsh words during the fight, this man in golden armor should be the young master of Guangbei Kingdom.

Lian Zhi turned around and continued walking.

A mournful cry came from behind: Dad!

Immediately afterwards, the bamboo raft under Lian Zhi's feet suddenly broke.

When she threw herself down and grabbed the thick hemp rope on the bamboo raft, she took a moment to look back.She wanted to remember the face of the enemy who broke the bamboo raft with a cold arrow behind him.

The man in golden armor is nodding his arrow and drawing his bow, the arrow is pointing directly at himself
The broken bamboo raft threw many people into the air. They shouted and struggled in the river and disappeared.

Even though Lian Zhi was holding on to the hemp rope on the bamboo raft, she was thrown to the other side by the impact of the current, choking a few times on the way.

With a whoosh, Lian Zhi was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
