After listening to Shi Jiu's words, Lianyi felt that it was not easy to be an imperial envoy, and he traveled in such a low-key manner. If he hadn't met her as the mission person, he would have been really disappointed.

"He didn't want to go to Haoyuan City alone like this. In order to lure him out alone, his servant said that the county magistrate of Haoyuan City had sent him money through his relatives and wanted him to provide the whereabouts and whereabouts of the imperial envoy. The county magistrate can prepare the route in advance so that he, the imperial envoy, can be fooled through.

In order to make Yu Junyu believe it, the servant deliberately took out two gold bars. Only then did Yu Junyu fall for the trick, so he took the servant and the driver and quietly rushed to Haoyuan City, giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it. "

Shi Jiu explained. After all, those who can sit in the position of imperial envoy are not stupid people.

"Okay! As long as Yu Junyu is a good official for the people, it is not in vain for me to help him."

"Don't worry, Haoyuan City has now begun to receive the victims, and relief food from Huzhou is also on its way, so the situation should improve."

After Shijiu reported the situation here, he continued to remain silent.

Lianyi and his party traveled for five days, and with only a little dry food left on them, they finally saw Huangshi City, a city on the outskirts of Huangzhou Prefecture. It is rich in stones, hence its name.

When the juniors saw the city from a distance, they all cheered for a while and seemed very happy to finally be able to enter the city again. After they left the boundary of Liangzhou, the road became more and more desolate. Fortunately, they didn't encounter it again. The victims of the disaster did not encounter anyone who blocked the road and robbed them. They all knew that this place was poor and could not rob anything. Instead, more than [-] members of the Zhang family were able to reach Huangshi City smoothly.

The fee to enter the city was one copper coin per person, and children under five years old were exempted. The group paid fourteen copper coins and entered the city.

The first thing after entering the city was to find an inn to stay at, so that everyone could rest peacefully for a night.

They took a shower and changed into clean clothes, so they no longer looked like people fleeing the famine. The next day, everyone slept until midnight, and then got up when they were hungry.

The Zhang family almost took over this small inn. They used the inn’s stove to cook their meals, and the pimple soup was paired with the pickles provided by the inn. After eating and drinking, Lao Zhangtou took his eldest son and son-in-law to find someone to inquire about. News.

Zhang Jun and Zhang Cheng took a few young ones to buy some food. The food they brought out was exhausted. The women were washing and sewing in the inn. They took a look at the young ones and did not go out. After all, everyone is used to being cautious in unfamiliar places.

After all the men who had gone out in the afternoon came back, everyone had dinner. After dinner, Old Man Zhang told everyone the news he had learned outside today.

"It's not difficult to settle here. As long as you have a household registration and explain the reason for settling here, you can settle down by paying half a tael of silver per household. It's just that we can't choose where to be assigned! If you want to choose a To settle in a good place, you have to pay more.

There is another way, that is, we can buy land here. Wherever we buy land, we can settle down there. But it is not easy to buy land. After all, we are from outside. I am afraid we have to search hard for this land, or else Go to the tooth shop to find a matchmaker, pay a sum of money, and look for some good land. "

Lao Zhangtou told everyone the news he had learned, and wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

"Dad, according to your opinion, there should be no good land near Yellowstone City."

Zhang Shi was the first to speak out.

"We gave the little official in charge of household registration a few coins. We heard from him that the nearby villages were poor and the land was not very fertile."

Song Dachuan said.

"The little official recommended a dental shop with a good reputation. We went there. They saw that we were from outside, so they raised the price and we left."

Zhang Zhong said with a frown.

"What Dad means is that if you can buy good land with money, it doesn't matter if you spend a few more coins. But if you spend money and can't buy good land, and then you are tricked into settling in a poor village, it's not worth it. ." Song Dachuan added.

"Dad, eldest brother, brother-in-law, this Huangshi City is the first city we saw after arriving in Huangzhou. We don't have to settle here. We can walk further in and see a few more places. We can always Find the right place to stay.”

Zhang Cheng thought for a while and said.

"Third uncle is right. I have seen the map of Daqian before. The most prosperous city in Huangzhou is Huangfeng City, because General Chang's residence is in Huangfeng City.

We may not be able to settle in Huangfeng City, but the surrounding villages are in good condition. We can consider settling there, even if we spend a little more money. "

Ripple spoke up at the right time and expressed his opinion.

"What do you think?"

Lao Zhangtou still asked other people, but no one had any objections. It was the first time for him to come here anyway, and it would be the same wherever he goes, as long as the family is together.

After making the decision, everyone rested for another night and set off again, heading towards the location of Huangfeng City.

The rest of the journey was no longer as scary as when they were escaping. The boys became more lively and would run ahead to explore the road. Only when their mothers yelled at them would they turn around and run back in pursuit of each other.

That day, while Rianyi was taking a nap while leaning on the bullock cart, she heard several boys from the Zhang family shouting her name in front of her, shouting "Help!"

Lianyi's ears twitched, she immediately opened her eyes and jumped off the bullock cart. She heard the sound of horse hooves.

"Sister Lianyi! Help! There are barbarians!"

"Sister Ripple!"

The Zhang family was also shocked. They did not expect to meet a barbarian here, and their faces turned pale.

"Master, don't leave, wait here, I'll go take a look!"

Lianyi picked up the stick and began to run towards the place where the sound came from.

Song Dachuan and Zhang Shi looked at each other, each picked up a hatchet, and followed closely behind Lianyi. Zhang Zhong, Zhang Jun and Zhang Cheng also picked up the hatchets and protected them around the two oxcarts. They looked anxious, but they didn't dare to run to help without permission. Their mother, wife and daughter were in the car, and they had to protect them.

The women sitting in the car were also worried, but no one said a word, and they all looked longingly at the three people who had disappeared from their sight.

When Lianyi rushed over, he happened to see a foreigner on horseback holding his third uncle's son, Zhang Fengrui, in his arms. With a sinister smile on his face, he put a knife on Zhang Fengrui's neck, turned the horse's head, and shouted to the people behind him:

"Feng Kun, you'd better let us go, or I'll kill this little brat!"

Zhang Fengliang and Zhang Fengyong were rolling on the ground to avoid the horses' hooves trampling on them, while shouting "Sister Lianyi, help me", they were so embarrassed!

Lianyi's eyes dimmed, and his beautiful eyes narrowed. During the confrontation between the two sides, without noticing it, he took out a dagger from his arms and threw it out directly. The target was the back of the head of the barbarian who kidnapped his third brother. Regardless of whether it was possible or not After hitting the opponent, Ripple jumped and ran a few times, then rushed into the Hu people's cavalry, swung the stick and started knocking the horses' legs.
