Chapter 42 (1) Lin Xiang

The two armies of Shen and Geng were stationed on the border but did not attack. Hundreds of thousands of troops www.biquge.info pen and fun are consumed every day. The unprovoked fires were combined with a shortage of food and grass. Xiao Bogong has led the troops for so many years, and it is the first time he feels such pressure.

Xiao Bogong is Xiao Bogong in the end, even in such a bad situation, he still keeps his troops in order, and he can't see a trace of panic.

After anxious waiting, the High Priest's reply finally arrived. Xiao Bogong eagerly unfolded the letter and watched it, only to see that only four words were written on the letter: "Benefiting the East".

"What do you mean? We've been waiting, we've been waiting for so long, and we've got these four words. Xiao Changyu read the contents of the high priest's letter on the side and said disappointedly.

Xiao Bogong didn't expect that the high priest's reply would be like this.

"Is the high priest old and confused, we are asking him to help figure out a way, and he tells us fortunes. ”

"Don't talk nonsense. Xiao Bogong reprimanded Xiao Changyu. He still had great respect and faith in the high priest. It seems that the high priest did not know how the fire had happened. Still, he gave them a direction to find answers to their questions. "Benefiting the East" is the answer to this question to be found in the East. "Eastern" and "Dongjun"...... Lin Xiang may have some gains on his side.

……

Drought, locust plagues, black insects, on the way from the border to Dongjun, the once vibrant land became devastated.

Lin Xiang sat in the car, although he couldn't see it with his eyes, he could feel the desolation outside, the mottled land, and the sadness in his heart. And the people must be hungry on every side. Although the king of Shang ordered all localities to open warehouses and release grain, relief to the victims. But it only ensures that the people will not starve to death. If the disaster continues in the coming year, I am afraid that what you will see on the roadside will not be barren grass, but people who will starve to death.

This time he went to Dongjun, and the eldest prince Xiao Bogong sent three people to him. Two of them were in charge of driving and one was in charge of taking care of him. Along the way, they were all dressed as ordinary people, with as little contact as possible with people, staying at night and hurrying up.

After four days and nights of turbulence, they finally arrived in East County.

The three guards sighed in their hearts, they had seen desolation for four days, but when they arrived in Dongjun, they saw that the trees on the side of the road still had dark green leaves, and the fields and roads were golden yellow.

When they arrived in East County, it was not yet dusk, and smoke was already rising in front of the low houses.

Lin Xiang asked the driver to slow down the carriage, and his two Jiang Bai eyes were facing out of the window, as if he could see something. He asked the guards who were with him how many homeless people there were.

The guard felt that Lin Xiang's question was very strange. The East County is a quiet and peaceful scene, where are the displaced people?

There are no natural disasters in Dongjun, and there are natural disasters in other places, so naturally there will be some people from other places who have survived because of natural disasters to come to Dongjun. But the few people who followed Lin Xiang didn't see the scene of the homeless people gathering. There was no chaos on the edge of East County. Everything seemed so natural and peaceful.

"No wonder. Lin Xiang's eyes puffed out, and his lips trembled inadvertently.

"What did you say?" the guards who accompanied him did not hear him.

"Nothing. Lin Xiang said weakly, "Let's find a place to settle down first." ”

"The county town of Dongjun is too small, we will definitely attract the attention of others when we go in, not to mention the inn outside the county town, and there is not even a dilapidated temple. Looks like we're going to have to find a family to spend the night. The guard said.

"Do what you want. Lin Xiang turned his face back.

So, the guards who accompanied Lin Xiang discussed with the two guards outside and found a larger-looking family to stay in. They claimed to be people who were on a journey with their master to seek medical treatment.

The owner of the house where they stayed was very kind to them, but the house was so full that there was no place for them, and there was no place for them to stay. The master told them to continue on their way, passing through the county town, and on the other side of the county town, at the foot of the east mountain, there was a flat place, where their prince Qingran had prepared a temporary lodging for passers-by and homeless people. He said Lin Xiang and they could stay there.

Since it is the place where Prince Qingran is prepared, do we have a chance to meet Prince Qingran?" the guards beside Lin Xiang asked tentatively.

The prince would come by often to see what everyone needed. So you don't have to worry. The host said in a proud tone.

A few people thanked the owner of the house, but after leaving, the guard said to Lin Xiang: "We can't go there, there are many people there, and it's not good for you to find spiritual objects." Lin Xiang sat quietly in the car and did not refute.

"It's getting dark, where do we park our cars?" asked one of the guards, "it's too conspicuous to park on the side of the road." ”

They were surrounded by fields, and there was no shelter. "Go ahead and look for the woods. The guard in charge of accompanying Lin Xiang looked at Lin Xiang and said.

Lin Xiang nodded.

The eastern county is not big, and they have already reached the edge of the county after walking for a while. There is a forest here, and although the trees are sparse and the night is covering, it is still possible to hide them for the night. The three guards discussed it, drove the car into the woods, and stopped in the middle of the woods.

The sky was clear, the night was deep, and the shining stars danced restlessly above the bare branches of the trees. Lin Xiang was covered with a fur blanket, closed his eyes, fell asleep, and sat up suddenly. The guards who accompanied him were awakened by him, and he saw Lin Xiang sitting upright with a blanket in his arms, his eyes kept rolling behind his eyelids, and a layer of fine sweat was spread on his forehead, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you have a nightmare?"

Lin Xiang's body was still trembling, and it took him a long time to calm down a little, and after taking a breath, he shook his head weakly.

"That's what's going on. "This guard is specially responsible for taking care of Lin Xiang, and he has been following Lin Xiang, he knows that Lin Xiang often has nightmares, but he has never seen Lin Xiang like tonight - abnormal.

"It's nothing, I just see something calling me. I wanted to go over, but my body seemed to be trapped, I couldn't move, and in a hurry, I woke up. ”

"Have we been discovered?" asked the two guards who were guarding outside, hearing the movement in the car.

"Is it a spiritual thing?" The guards who followed Lin Xiang knew that what Lin Xiang saw must not be a person.

"It should be, but it's the first time I've seen such a large spirit body," Lin Xiang seemed to have palpitations.

"You spoke to him?"

"No?"

"Why?"

"He was so shocking to me that I wasn't sure what kind of spirit he was, and I couldn't even get close to him. Lin Xiang said, "The small Dongjun actually has such a large spirit body, no wonder this place can withstand natural disasters." ”

"Is he still there?" the guard looked around, as if looking for something. But the surrounding forest was sparse, and there was only a large cloud of darkness in the distance.

Lin Xiang shook his head, "Before I woke up, it had already left." ”

"In which direction?"

Lin Xiang stretched out his fingers, which were almost transparent, and pointed to the east.
