Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 868
After treating the uncle's wound, the little boy who had just gone out to inquire about the news ran in ecstatically.

"Father and mother, good news, good news, His Royal Highness Yewang has already invaded Luozhou last night, and now he is stationed in a remote village outside the mountain!"

When the woman and the man heard it, they jumped up excitedly, hugging their heads in pain.

The man said hopefully, "His Royal Highness Ye Wang will definitely find a way to save us. Let's go to the barracks to borrow food from His Royal Highness Ye Wang. He is so benevolent and loving, he will definitely not refuse to save us."

"Yeah." The woman's eyes were shining brightly, and she told the man, "Don't ask for too much, the soldiers in the barracks may not have enough food, just ask for a load of potatoes, don't forget to write an IOU! It’s over, let’s go back.”

Hearing these simple words, Emperor Qi Heng almost burst into tears.

The man nodded, "Well, I know."

Not long after, the man happily came out with a basket.

"Uncle, let's go out of the mountain with you." Aqin said to the uncle.

"Okay." The uncle replied with a bright face.

"Ma'am, excuse me." Ah Qin and Emperor Qi Heng waved goodbye to the woman.

"Oh, what are you bothering me?" Auntie said with an apologetic face, "We really can't help you much, we don't even have a meal
"But now it's all right. His Highness the Night King is here. If you don't bother to go back to your hometown and go to His Highness Night King's barracks for help, you won't be disappointed."

"Yeah, thank you, ma'am." Aqin smiled at the woman, and then supported Emperor Qi Heng to follow the man carrying the burden to the village.
After arriving in the village, I saw that the heads of every household were gathering together with empty baskets.

There are two to three hundred families in this village, and it didn't take long for everyone to go to the night camp to 'borrow food'.

Some people were full of worry, "In the event of a heavy snowstorm, there are so many soldiers in His Highness the Night King's barracks waiting to eat, who knows if there is any food left? Sigh."
"Yes!" Someone answered worriedly, "My family has been out of food for two or three days, if I can't borrow food, I will have no way to survive
The uncle who was walking in front of Emperor Qi Heng was full of hope.

"I can borrow what I can. I have a distant relative in Kang'an City. When the flood happened in Kang'an City, his house was washed away and he lost everything."

"Later, His Royal Highness Ye Wang went to the countryside to inspect the disaster situation in person, counted the victims of the disaster, distributed rice, food and clothes to the refugees, and also distributed 20 taels of resettlement money.'

"His Royal Highness Ye Wang is more benevolent and caring for the people than you imagined. If he can be the emperor of Dasheng, then our people will be blessed."

After listening to the uncle's words, everyone cheered up. They were all exhausted after being hungry for a few days, but now they were all gnawing on snow balls, as if they were gnawing on a big pig's knuckle.

It took more than an hour to get out of the mountain.

As soon as he came out of the mountain, two soldiers came on horseback.

"Are you subordinates of His Royal Highness the Night King?" Before the two soldiers could speak, the villagers asked them excitedly.

"Yes." The two soldiers got off their horses, showing respect for these people.

This is the iron rule in the night war, whoever dares to play tricks on the common people will be dealt with by military law!
When they heard that they were soldiers under the Night King, everyone enthusiastically surrounded them.

Everyone was about to ask about borrowing food, when the two soldiers saw that they were carrying baskets full of misery and hunger, and guessed what they wanted to ask, so they opened their mouths.

"Villagers, do you have no food? Don't worry, our Highness has already made arrangements."

He pointed to the village in front of him, "See the village in front of you? Go and set up a tent there to register, and someone will distribute food to you."

Villagers:
After they were stunned for a while, their eyes were all red, and they wanted to bow to the two soldiers, but they stopped them.

"Oh, this can't be done. If you want to thank, thank His Royal Highness and Princess Ye."

"His Royal Highness and Princess Ye always take the sufferings of the people into consideration, and have prepared food early in the morning, and will not let you go hungry or cold."

After speaking, ask them about Qi Hengdi and Aqin.

"Guest, why do I think they are looking for you two?" The man looked at Qi Hengdi and Aqin wonderingly.

"It is indeed looking for us." Emperor Qi Heng nodded, and sincerely thanked the man, "Thank you for taking me in last night, and I will leave."

Ah Qin also bowed, "Uncle, thank you for taking me in."

After speaking, the two waved at the man, left the 'borrowing food' team and walked towards the two soldiers.

"Who the hell are they?"
Seeing the two soldiers leading Qi Hengdi and Ah Qin away respectfully, someone came up strangely and asked the man who was stunned.

"I don't know." The man shook his head, "That gentleman has a good temperament, he must not be an ordinary person, but it's a pity~~ he was starving and freezing at my house for a day, alas."

Just as he was talking, his woman chased him out of the mountain.

She found an ingot of silver on her table, chased it out, ran over and pulled her man aside, and then stuffed the silver into his hand.

"This is left by the master and lady. We can't take it. You must find them later and return the silver."

"Okay, I see." The man put the money into his pocket, and was about to leave when he saw a small body chasing him up behind him, who was the eldest son of the family.

"You son of a bitch, what are you doing here?" the man scolded.

The child straightened his back, with a determined expression on his face, "Father, I want to join the army, and I want to serve His Royal Highness the Night King."

"You are so young, can His Highness admire you?" The man gave the boy a shudder.

The boy was not afraid of pain at all, and said firmly, "Father, just lead me. I can endure hardships and have the courage to kill the enemy. I am not afraid of tigers on the mountain."

"Hiss~~ That's true." "The man remembered that a tiger came down the mountain to hurt people last year. If no boy had blinded the tiger with a slingshot in one eye, the tiger would have taken the child away.

"Such courage should be good enough for war, so let's go, Shidou, Dad will take you to try it." The man said, carrying the burden with one hand, and leading the boy to the barracks with the other.

Dozens of tents were stationed outside the village, all of which were left over from the burning of Zhu Xiangyu's barracks.

And here, Ji Xun arranged for He Mang to stay here yesterday to deliver food to the desperate victims in Luozhou.

Two soldiers respectfully brought Emperor Qiheng and Aqin to He Mang's tent, and went in to report: "General He, the person you sent your subordinates to look for has been found, and it's outside the tent." How did they know that it was Qi Heng? Hengdi?
But He Mang knew it, so he hurried out and helped Emperor Qiheng into the tent, helped him to sit by the stove.

Looking at Emperor Qi Heng who was thinner and darkened with a tired face, He Mang's eyes were red.

Seeing that the soles of his snowshoes were wet all over his body, his heart ached.

"Your Majesty, you have suffered all the way." He said while changing the shoes of Emperor Qi Heng, took off the damp cloak on his body, and took the warmest new fox fur cloak to put on him.
