Raid

Chapter 160 Hong Huai
Faced with the materials donated by the Ning family, Rong Zhi readily accepted it.Even if he knew that Li Shengxi might have other plans, Rong Zhi would not refuse the food she brought up.

The real relief food from the imperial court has not yet arrived. Although he brought some food, it is nothing compared to the huge number of victims in Zhenyuan.What's more, when will the batch of food come down?After all, Beijing officials are best at prevarication.

As Gu Lingxu said at the time, the water in the Li River would not be able to flood Wangjing.

The batch of grain and medicinal materials that Li Sheng attacked was a temporary solution to the urgent need.When the food and medicinal materials are delivered to Anxia, ​​Li Shengxi can stay in the house in a legitimate manner.After all, she came to deliver the food, and it was reasonable to come to help distribute the food again. Besides, there are few doctors in An Xia now, and Li Shengxi and Liu Jin also have some medical skills, which just happen to be useful.

In times of peace and prosperity, food may be coveted by people, not to mention the current famine years.

The amount of food was not small, and Li Shengxi and Liu Jin personally escorted it. When they were transporting the Daoxia Pass, they saw a group of people fighting in front of them from a distance.

A group of people dressed as thieves surrounded another group of people. There should be a character among the besieged group, otherwise it would be impossible to be inseparable from such a group of thieves.

Li Shengxi watched from a distance, listening to the servants around him coming to answer.

"Miss, it seems that a group of bandits are robbing passing businessmen in front of us. Do you think we choose to avoid or choose..."

Li Shengxi nodded, without waiting for the servant to finish speaking, he said decisively: "Save people!"

With Li Shengxi's help, the bandits were quickly dispersed.

There are actually quite a few people led by bandits, all kinds of people, but the leader is a middle-aged man.

He was dressed in fine clothes and brocade, and he was accompanied by many servants and guards. It can be seen that his family has extraordinary wealth, and he also looks like a decent person.His carriage is restrained but without losing its identity. The most striking thing is the word "Hong" engraved on the body.

Li Shengxi's eyes flashed lightly, and he passed the weapons guarded by the Hong family without any trace.

"Thank you two ladies for saving me." Hong Huai clasped his fists, showing gratitude.

"It's just a little effort, don't be polite." Liu Jin smiled, and Li Shengxi nodded slightly.

"In Xiaxiaqiu Honghuai, I don't know the names of the two benefactors. One day, Hong will definitely visit." Hong Huai said seriously.

Liu Jin was slightly surprised, but Li Shengxi didn't change his face, "Ning Rushuang, Ning's family in Zhenyuan, this is my sister, Ning Rujin."

"It turned out to be the two ladies of the Ning family. The head of the Ning family is well-known, and Hong has heard of it for a long time." Hong Huai naturally caught the surprise on Liu Jin's face. , "The two ladies know Rong Mou?"

Liu Jin realized that it was her face that made Hong Huai suspicious, she quickly smiled and said: "When I was at home, I heard brother mention it a few times."

What she said was not a lie, after all, Ning Yang really said it to him.

"So that's how it is." Hong Huai's face was clear, and he looked at the battle behind Li Shengxi, and couldn't help asking: "The two ladies are going to Anxia County?"

"The country is in trouble. Although my Ning family is a merchant, but relying on the country, I have a little money, so I should do my best. I plan to donate some food and medicinal materials to Anxia." Liu Jin is generous.

Hong Huai's eyes flickered inexplicably, but he still smiled: "Ning's kind deeds, Hong is ashamed of himself."

Li Shengxi seemed to be on something, she glanced at Liu Jin lightly, Liu Jin nodded with a smile, and Li Shengxi left where the two were.

Hong Huai looked at Ning Rushuang with some doubts.

Liu Jin smiled gently and said: "Sister is cold by nature, Hong Lang is not to blame. But although she is cold, she has the kindest temper, she just has a cold face and a warm heart."

Hong Huai shook his head, "Thanks to my lady's great kindness, how can I be blamed?"

"That's good." Liu Jin smiled gently and continued to ask. "Is Hong Lang going to Anxia too?"

Hong Huai shook his head, "It's just that I happened to pass by this way, now An Xia has been reduced to purgatory, Hong is not as good as my wife."

"Hong Lang doesn't need to underestimate himself. Isn't Hong Lang walking with ordinary people just to take advantage of the huge family property of the Hong family to protect these people?" Liu Jin looked at the people behind Hong Huai.

The people walking with Hong Huai are dressed in different clothes, including ordinary good people and disaster victims who escaped from purgatory.

Nowadays, there are frequent chaos in Zhenyuan, there are many people who have turned into bandits, and there are houses of thieves and dens of thieves everywhere.They were forced to fall into the grass by the chaos. Although they were robbing their homes, they did not dare to extend their hands to those wealthy businessmen and powerful people who really had a big business. Most of them robbed some poor people.If Hong Huai hadn't brought these common people with him, he would have been reduced to the souls of the bandits long ago.

In this regard, Liu Jin just feels helpless. Faced with such a chaotic situation, the strength of one person is only small after all, and he cannot save everyone by himself.Every time I think of this, Liu Jin thinks of me back then, and I want the Southern Jin Dynasty to send troops to the north to dominate the country.

The Northern Qi Dynasty was already decayed, and the people who followed the corrupt court could only live in the heat of the water.

However, if wars are started rashly, the people will suffer first.

Hong Huaiken led the people to show that he still had kindness in his heart, but as a minion of the Zhou family, he had already done all kinds of evil things.Thinking of this, Liu Jin felt more and more ironic.

Hong Huai smiled lightly, as if he had no desire to continue this topic, he looked at Li Shengxi who was not far away, and sighed a little: "The two ladies are very skilled."

Liu Jin shook his head humbly, "Don't dare to take it. My sister and I have been stubborn since we were young. We don't like piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or female knitters. We just love these vulgar things. Hong Lang laughed at us."

Hong Huai shook his head, and seemed to sigh a little: "How can you call it a joke? People in the world always have different personalities. Moreover, apart from the two ladies' ambitions, they want to come to the family because of their foresight. In today's world, martial arts Gao Qiang is always more useful than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Yeah—" Liu Jin sighed softly.

In troubled times, those skills are just icing on the cake.What are really useful are some skills that can save lives.

Li Shengxi on the side seemed to be wandering around because the house slave wanted to count the goods.

But if someone kept staring at her, they would find that her gaze flicked across the weapons in the hands of those Hong residence guards from time to time.

After a while, she seemed to be tired of looking at the weapons, so she helped her servants dispose of the bandits' corpses.

There are quite a few bandits, but the gorge pass road is narrow, and the corpses are displayed on the road. It is also said that "the corpses are all over the field".Li Sheng sighed inwardly.
