Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 888
Since it was decided to destroy the bridge, the sooner the better, turned around and found kerosene and poured it on the bridge, and the bridge burned blazingly as soon as the torch was thrown.

This kind of bridge is a stone-wood structure, the piers are stone and the bridge deck is wood, and it will be burnt out in a fire, leaving only a few bare and blackened piers standing in the river.

"It's all right now, even the bridge doesn't need to be guarded." Several lieutenants said with satisfaction.

Talking and drinking, I went to restaurants and brothels, and went to have fun.

Time flies, a month passes in a blink of an eye, the twelfth lunar month is ushered in, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

And the army of the Night King traveled from south to north, rescued the suffering and disasters everywhere, and settled the displaced people properly, which won the support of all people.

This day, in the evening.

The army arrived at Liyang City opposite Jinzhou.

Of course, in order not to disturb the people, Ye Wang ordered the army to set up camp outside the city, and considering the cold in the wild, he arranged for Shen Yu, Qi Hengdi, Jiang Yu, Aqin, etc. to enter Liyang City dressed in micro clothes under the protection of Shadow and other hidden guards.

What Shen Yuan didn't expect was that there were several Yunlai Inns in Liyang City.

Moreover, these inns have all been remodeled by Zhao Han. There are heating and 'toilets' in the guest rooms, which are very convenient.

It's just that after the war broke out, the innkeeper probably fled with the money because he was afraid of being implicated, and only a few clerks were still guarding the shop. It is estimated that the money they made went into their personal pockets.

Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little sad when she saw the words 'Yunlai Inn'. She took care of these properties with all her painstaking efforts.

Later, in order to obtain Lingzhou as a fiefdom, he handed over Tianxia Commercial Bank, and it hurts to think about it.

"Shopkeeper, we have booked your inn, how much is it?" Shadow walked into the inn and directly asked the guy sitting in front of the counter.

"How long does it take?" Several other guys sitting on the side surrounded him, and they were ecstatic when they saw these customers directly asking for a bag.

"First pay for half a month, how much money?" Shadow asked.

"Let's discuss it." Several guys said and put their heads together and whispered for a while, and then one of them raised his head and pointed a finger at the shadow.

"One, 100 taels of silver, all the rooms can be used as you like, but, can you?" The guy stammered, a little unconfident.

This price is nothing in the peak season, but in winter it can be regarded as a lion's mouth, especially in such a war, there are no guests at all.

Unexpectedly, Shadow readily agreed, and took out a bank note and handed it to the guy.

The clerk's eyes were straightened, and he hurriedly took the bank note and held it in his hand, too excited to speak.

The shopkeeper didn't give them their wages, so he locked the door of the inn and ran away.

They had no choice but to pry open the door, thinking that the business day counts as a day, what if there are guests coming to stay?
Unexpectedly, the luck is so good, some people really came to lodge, and hurriedly led them upstairs, with great enthusiasm.

"Guests, please wait a moment, we will heat the fire and boil the water right now, just tell us what you need."

The rooms were all empty, but it was still decided that Jiang Yuan and Aqin would share a room, with the shadow accompanying Qi Hengdi, and Shen Yuan accompanying Ling'er during the day and Ji Xun's protection at night, and they settled down like this.

Those guys are also honest people, and after collecting the money, they are also very considerate in all kinds of services, and they come as soon as they need anything.

But Shadow thought about it, and gave them some money to send them away, and arranged for his own people in the inn, which is only across a river from Jinzhou, so be careful in everything.

After dinner that night, Shen Yu'an was playing chess with Emperor Qi Heng, and Ji Xun rushed back from the camp in the wind and snow.

"Yuan, you go to rest, you can't stay up so late." Ji Xun helped Shen Yuan up, and then Haosheng sent Hao to rest, and then came to sit opposite Qi Hengdi, and started to play chess in place of Shen Yuan.

The two chatted while playing chess, and Ji Xun said, "Today, I rushed to the Jin River to check it out. Not only did the big river break through the ice, but even the bridge was burned."

Emperor Qi Heng blew his beard and stared in anger.

"These damned lunatics, do you know how difficult it is to repair that bridge? He actually burns it as soon as he says it!"

"That bridge was built by myself when I was a prince. Ten bridge piers were erected, countless timbers were used, and a lot of financial and material resources were spent. I didn't expect it to be burned now." Qi Heng held his head and hated it.

"Father, don't be angry, the pier is still there, and it will not be difficult to repair it in the future."

"It's also difficult to lay bridge piers on the bridge deck. Many people fell into the river and were washed away when the bridge deck was just laid. Alas! It's all my fault that Da Zhou Kingdom fell into such a disaster." Emperor Qi Heng shook his head helplessly, and then Started to blame myself.

Ji Xun said a few words of comfort. Originally, he wanted to tell Emperor Qi Heng what happened in the capital, but now he dared not, for fear that Emperor Qi Heng would be upset.

He just said, "Father, don't worry, this war won't last long, and I will find a way to cross the Jinzhou River and attack the capital as soon as possible." After a game of chess, Ji Xun came out of Qi Hengdi's room and returned The room with Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan was still awake, leaning on the head of the bed, Linger pressed her swollen legs, and it became more and more difficult for her to fall asleep as the months progressed.

"Ling'er, go and rest, I'll come." Ji Xun called Ling'er away after he came in, he came to the bed and sat down, gently pressing Shen Yuan's legs.

Looking at his wife's handsome face full of pity and affection.

"Yuan, you have suffered, we have given birth to this child and will never have another one."

"Look at you? Don't you want to give birth to a dozen?" Shen Yuan pinched his beautiful nose.

Ji Xun shook his head hurriedly, "No, no, these three are enough. I'm afraid they have to be taught and brought up after they are born."

Shen Yu'an giggled, he was concerned about state affairs, and hurriedly asked, "A Xun just played chess with his father, what did you say to him?" When it came to business, Ji Xun returned to seriousness.

"It's nothing, but the Jinzhou River broke the ice and the Jinzhou Bridge was burned."

"And in the capital, Wei Xuanyuan and Xia Luoluo are recruiting troops together, extorting miscellaneous taxes and searching for the common people. Will the common people still have a way out?"

Shen Yuan also narrowed his almond eyes slightly, with a hint of anger floating in his eyes.

"These people only care about their own glory and wealth. When did they put the life and death of the people in their eyes? Ah Xun, we have to send the father to the capital as soon as possible, otherwise it will drag on for a few months. Sample."

"Yes." Ji Xun frowned slightly, "But there is no way to cross the river, and it is impossible to attack Jinzhou."

Shen Yuan also thought hard: "There is no boat, the river cannot be walked, and the bridge is gone. How can I cross the river?"

Ji Xun saw Shen Yuan holding her stomach and worrying about this, and felt very distressed, so he leaned over and hugged her and kissed her on top of her head.

"You don't need to take care of this matter, you just have to have a baby, and your husband will find a way."
