I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 104
Xia Feng heard Xiao Feng's words, saw the emotion in his eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart that King Qi is still a lover.

Xia Feng was used to the way his father looked at her mother, and he could tell what Xiao Feng meant at a glance.

Xia Feng clasped his fists at Wan Jinlan, "Forgive me, my lord, but I can't speak anymore. I will never forget the great kindness of my lord, and I will do my best to do whatever I want in the future."

Wan Jinlan waved his hand, "Don't just beg for obeisance, you say you want to follow him, let me ask you, the two of us want to go to an elder, but we are worried that he is half-hearted, if it were you, would you How to do?"

Xia Feng knew that this was their test for him.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "If it were me, I would not pin my hopes on others."

"Nowadays, the barbarians in the northwest are taking advantage of the civil strife in Wei to harass the border frequently. You two might as well use this opportunity to join the army."

Xia Feng's thoughts coincided with Xiao Feng's.

Wan Jinlan wanted to establish a military workshop after she was stabilized, but she was not familiar with the place. If she wanted to quickly establish a firm foothold in the northwest, she wanted to rely on the strength of others.

This other person is Lu Yan, the chief of a county in Chiwu County.

Lu Yan was told by her father on the day of exile that Chuntao went to Lumingfang on her behalf on the night she left the palace, and after she came out, she told Zhen Guogong his name.

Lu Yan should be the Queen Mother's old department, and Wan Jinlan was also very hesitant.

When the two of them looked at the Great Wei map at night, they knew that Fangling was not a good place to go. It was so close to the capital and there was no room for development at all.

Xiao Feng chose to come to Liangzhou because he knew that the military and government on the border of Liangzhou were not as strict as the Central Plains because of the sturdy folk customs, and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Wan Jinlan received a message from his father the next day, thinking that Liangzhou might be a good place.

Since the empress dowager dared to give her the hairpin when she broke face with the emperor, and exposed the people in Lumingfang to her, it fully showed the empress dowager's trust in the rest of the people.

Wan Jinlan knew Xiao Feng's concerns, and Jiang Huo's betrayal made him not trust anyone. With the current situation that the two had just escaped from the predicament, there was really no need to use their own lives to test the loyalty of others.

She said: "Raise the person well, let's set off and choose a place."

Seeing Xiao Feng take out a map from his pocket, Xia Feng got up and knelt down to finish what he hadn't said before.

"Since Xia Feng has decided to follow the two, he has to explain his own situation clearly. Although I come from the Xia family in Qingzhou, I am from a side branch. Because my father is weak, he is not taken seriously by the clan, and although I am a little educated However, because of the jealousy of the main family's son-in-law and the eldest wife, his right hand was destroyed before he went to Beijing to rush for the exam. After the death of my father, my mother and I were in a difficult situation in the clan. "

Xiao Feng and Wan Jinlan glanced at Xia Feng's right hand together.

Xia Feng noticed the eyes of the two, pinched his wrists and said with a free and easy smile: "Nowadays, the right hand can't carry heavy objects, and the pen and writing are not as strong as before, but there is still a left hand, so it doesn't hinder anything."

Both of them knew that Xia Feng explained the past because he wanted the two of them to know him well, so that they would have less worries in the future.

When Xia Feng knelt, many people who were crowded together to warm themselves by the fire outside the ruined temple, covered with broken catkins, also saw it.

Li Dazhuang took the lead and came over, imitating Xia Feng and knelt aside, "I don't know a few words, but I know that people should be grateful. I eat the food of the boss, and I will be a member of the boss in the future. As long as the boss doesn't dislike me, I will do it Follow the owner all the time."

Li Dazhuang's complexion was much better than when Wan Jinlan saw him for the first time. A lot of flesh had grown on his thin cheeks, his face was dark, with protruding ears, bright eyes, and he looked very honest.

Feng Guihua's sons and daughters, Xiaohua and Tieniu, clenched their fists and looked at Wan Jinlan, "From now on, we will follow my sister."

Wan Jinlan comforted her eyes, seeing that these two children liked her more than Xia Feng.

Li Dazhuang's statement inspired other refugees.

Some people may be sincerely grateful, and some people may follow the crowd and fear that they will be abandoned if they don’t express their views, but it cannot be denied that during the process of exile, they were either expelled or killed for fear of spreading the disease. Only here, they eat I had a full meal, slept soundly at night, and drank soup and medicine, so I was no longer disturbed by the cold.

No one is born a villain, they are all a group of poor people who are driven to nowhere.

In the firelight, Wan Jinlan looked at the faces of these people, and suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart.

In the past, she was born in a noble family, she didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and she wore silk and brocade clothes. She knew the sufferings of the people in the southwest but didn't take it seriously. She only saved these people by herself, and now she has more recognition for her actions.

Seeing that Wan Jinlan was stunned, Xiao Feng squeezed her callused fingers, "If you don't speak, I'll steal your limelight."

Wan Jinlan turned back and glared at him, "You're a man, and they want you to express your opinion more."

With Xia Feng's troubles, Xiao Feng didn't want to make her unhappy by passively doing things that "overwhelm the host", so he stood up and looked at everyone, "Everyone is suffering, and what I can help is limited. , when everyone recovers, we must work together for a future shelter. Song believes that none of you are short-lived."

The refugees looked at this tall, burly, middle-aged man with a deep, three-dimensional face and a resolute expression, with longing and anticipation in their eyes.

Yes, Xiao Feng's face is still painted black now, Wan Jinlan imitated Yin Wen's technique and put on makeup on him once every two days on average, making him look ten years older than his actual age.I don't know how Xia Feng recognized him.

As for herself, the red birthmark on her face is still there, and she is also dressed as a man, but when she speaks, everyone knows that she is a woman.

The refugees know that the two are husband and wife, and that all the expenses are borne by the two.

Wan Jinlan got up and said: "Now that the border town is calling for troops, you don't follow me and the two of you. If you want to leave, we will prepare dry food for you. Don't feel burdened. If you follow us in the future, you may die. Tomorrow morning, anyone who wants to leave can find Li Dazhuang."

Everyone went back to warm up and rest. Wan Jinlan, Xiao Feng, Xia Feng and Li Dazhuang discussed their next actions.

Li Dazhuang was illiterate and couldn't participate in the conversation, but he listened carefully, trying to understand more.

While the four of them were discussing, people cried for help and howled from the village in the east, and dogs barked more urgently.

Several people stood up, went up to the top of the ruined temple and looked in the direction of the village.

Li Dazhuang yelled to the people below: "Put out the fire, hurry up, don't make a sound, adults take care of the children, don't cry, don't make a sound if you want to survive."

Wan Jinlan took a look at Li Dazhuang, and felt that this man had some abilities.
