pungent peasant girl

Chapter 496 Cold City
"Yes, the eldest brother also said that it is not his, so the gold will not float in from the sky. Who do you think is capable of secretly transporting gold in?"

"This—" Yu Miao was stumped, "How is this luck? Will it not be discovered?"

"That's right, this is something very strange to me and the Fourth Highness."

"Could it be, princesses, do you doubt Eunuch Feng? The slaves are not very willing to believe that Eunuch Feng has always been very kind to His Royal Highness. Moreover, he has been with the former empress since he was young. Has it been so many years? Can't prove his loyalty?"

Yumiao's words made Meng Qianyan fall into deep thought.

Indeed, how could someone who has been loyal for so many years change?

But if it's not Feng Gonggong, who is it?
"Yumiao, is there anyone else His Highness trusts?"

"Others? For other people, General Mu has been secretly helping His Highness."

"What else?"

Yu Miao thought and thought, "Then it should be gone."

Yu Miao couldn't think of anyone else, so Meng Qianyan stopped asking.

Qiying and Qin Wu were both on the move, and Ye Ming also went to find Feng Ruhai.

More leads should be coming soon.

The strong wind swept the blizzard, and the blizzard was like willow catkins all over the sky, flying to cover the sky and block out the sun.

The horse couldn't go any further, because even if the horse was covered with fur, it couldn't stand the cold anymore.

"Fourth Highness, do you want to go on?" The voice of the attendant came from outside the carriage.

Luo Ziyan said: "You can't use a carriage anymore, can you?"

"Yes, we have to come down and go."

"That's good." Luo Ziyan responded, opened the car door and jumped down.

The attendants immediately covered him with thick fur.

Luo Ziyan was in the cold, wind and snow, and was wrapped tightly, only part of his eyes were exposed.

"How can there be such a heavy snow, it is already spring."

"Hey, this extremely cold place is like this. The ice and snow don't melt all year round. But this kind of blizzard is rare, and it has only increased in recent years. Your Highness, why don't we think of a way to settle down first. ?”

"How can ordinary people bear such a blizzard? Forget it, let's move on. The food behind will also be transported as soon as possible."

Luo Ziyan insisted on leaving, and the others had nothing to say, they could only follow closely.

After walking for several days, I finally arrived at my destination.

The snow stopped, what a vast land of ice and snow.

The whole city was in the freezing cold, the streets were deserted and deserted, only a few younger men in shabby leather jackets seemed to be looking for something.

"Is this the place?" Luo Ziyan asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, this is here, this is Hancheng."

"Where's the city gate?" Luo Ziyan frowned and looked around.

Rather than saying that this is a city, it is more like a wasteland, a wasteland that is always cold.

The houses of the common people are dilapidated and old, standing pitifully in the ice and snow.

Occasionally, there are a few crying babies, which is really distressing.

At this time, a man in a leather jacket came over in the distance.

"I see the Fourth Highness, the information here is blocked, and I have lost my way. I hope His Highness will not be offended."

Saying that, the man knelt down in front of Luo Ziyan.

"You are--"

"Reporting to Your Highness Fourth, I am the magistrate here, and my name is Liao Wang."

"Get up, it's not fake that the news here is blocked."

"Yes, Your Highness." Liao Wang stood up and looked at Luo Ziyan eagerly, with a lot of disbelief in his eyes.

Luo Ziyan looked at him, "Why do you look at me like this?"

"Oh, Fourth Highness, I am so surprised that His Majesty Fourth Highness actually came to our cold place. In the past, those who distributed disaster food to us were some officials below."

"I know, you don't need to mention them to me, I must be different from them. Now tell me about the situation in our cold city."

Liao Wang quickly said: "Yes, that's how it is. Fourth Highness, our cold city was not here originally, it was in the southerly area. A few years ago, a hundred years ago, because of Dahe's successive battles, many ordinary people I was afraid of war, so I kept hiding to the north, hiding and hiding, running and running, and finally came to this place.”

Luo Ziyan said: "Then it wasn't like this before?"

"In the past, it was okay before, at least we could hunt for a living. But these years, unfortunately, the wind and snow have become more and more fierce, many roads are blocked, and we can't hunt prey, so our life is getting worse and worse. Difficult. Especially this year, the wind and snow are too heavy, and many places with prey have been sealed off."

"I heard, how are the people doing now?"

"The ones with a little bit of skill all ran to the south. The rest of them are just waiting here. If there is any prey, they will eat it. If there is no prey, they have to wait. There is nothing in the government's warehouse."

When Liao Wang mentioned this, he also sighed.

Luo Ziyan thoughtfully said: "Are you still there?"

"Oh, how dare I not be here, besides, my mother and father are here too."

"Okay, I see. Now go and inform the common people, and ask them to come out to receive food and frozen meat."

Hearing the sound, Liao Wang showed a surprised smile, "Great, I'll go now. But, Your Highness, it's freezing cold for us, and I'm afraid many places won't be able to catch fire."

"Is that so?" Luo Ziyan thought for a while, "Okay, then you go and prepare the cauldron and firewood first, and cook the porridge here first. No matter what, the common people will eat their fill first."

"Yes, Wei Chen takes orders."

Liao Wang turned around and led the people there excitedly.

Luo Ziyan said to his entourage: "Get ready. Prepare a lot of firewood to boil the porridge. Then build a pavilion to distribute the food. In addition, prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Remember, every time a person comes, You must ask clearly, age, place of origin, who else is in the family, and what kind of crafts you have, and you must record them all clearly."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

Luo Ziyan gave the order, and everyone around him got busy, and not long after, the simple pavilion was built.

The curling smoke rose into the sky, and the aroma of porridge also permeated the air.

Liao Wang led the people and formed a long queue, one by one to get the porridge.

There are young people, as well as old, weak, sick and disabled.

Standing in the pavilion, Luo Ziyan looked at the endless team, feeling a deep sense of melancholy in his heart.

If he hadn't seen such a scene, maybe he wouldn't be too moved.

But now seeing it in his eyes, he was really sad in his heart.

"Your Highness, I have prepared a place for you to rest temporarily and lit a charcoal fire, do you want to go there and rest?" Liao Wang came in from the outside and asked Luo Ziyan.

Luo Ziyan shook his head, "Let's rest at night, remember to ask those who have eaten the porridge to go to the side to get food."
