Three days later, Shangdang Xu's convoy set off from Changzi County, carrying 800 parts all the way south to Yingchuan County. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At first, Xu Hui had a slight objection to the number of people who carried so many parts on this trip, after all, in her memory, Xie Jun, the incoming pastor of Bingzhou, only brought less than six hundred parts. Xu Ze took so many parts to Yingchuan County, which was inevitably suspected of being too public. can think of this trip, there are also Mrs. Zhong and Xu Su, two weak women, as well as many of their maidservants, Xu Hui, who was going to admonish his grandfather, silently shut up and swallowed the words that were about to reach his mouth.
It's not that she and Xu Ze are too worried, or they deliberately show off their might, it's really the security along the way, especially Hanoi County, which must be passed, is too chaotic.
Hongnong and Hanoi originally had many families, but after the royal family and many families crossed to the south, they became a dominant family. Not only is the branch of the overseas Chinese surname, but also the leader of the family with the northern surname, the Hongnong Liang family, the head of the family to the members of the family, all follow the atmosphere of the family surnamed Wu of the overseas Chinese, so luxurious, like to compare, a hard to exploit the people under the rule, even like the real Guo family, in order to accumulate money and power, so mad that the thirteen-year-old child is burdened with labor. And their strategy for dealing with the exiles, in addition to mass murder, was to forcibly take them into slavery. Even many people within the Liang family have complained about this, feeling that such actions are against the peace of nature, let alone what the outside world says about them.
In this case, the poor law and order in Hongnong and Hanoi counties is no longer a matter of considering whether the rumors are true or not, but of having to weigh the extent to which the rumors are true. Due to the high-pressure policy of the Liang family, the ruthless massacre is not enough in the county, and it is no longer news that the homeless people with red eyes are hungry in the wilderness. Even the outcasts attacking the forts, manors or county towns are not uncommon in Hanoi County. With a little less trilogy, it is really difficult to protect yourself in the homeless brigade that is on the verge of madness and can do everything, which Xu Hui has a personal experience.
The history of the state and his family members are naturally wide and flat official roads, rather than sheep intestine paths that can only be walked by Han landlords, merchants and ordinary people. Under the condition that the Great Qi was not chaotic and the royal family and the family had enough deterrent power to the people, as long as they were not cornered, even if they were a large number of displaced people, they did not dare to risk being exterminated by officers and soldiers to attack the convoy passing by on the official road. Even if it was the previous life in Xu Hui's memory, if it weren't for Xie Jun's eagerness to return to Jiankang and order the convoy to take a shortcut, he would not have been attacked by waves of homeless people. It's just that the situation in Hanoi County is beyond her imagination, and her grandfather's prestige shocked her again.
"Girl, please come with me." Xu Lin, who had patrolled the convoy on horseback, frowned, came to Xu Hui, who was also riding a horse, and said softly, "The situation is a little bad." β
Xu Hui knew that Xu Lin would not be untargeted, so he nodded, and followed Xu Lin to the rear of the convoy, and saw countless yellow-faced and thin-skinny homeless people cautiously, following behind Xu's convoy not far away, looking around, let alone in the thousands.
With Xu Hui's eyesight, he can naturally see that among these displaced people, there are not only young and middle-aged people, but also many old and weak women and children. Generally speaking, if you want to attack a convoy, a large number of men must rush forward with wooden sticks and the like, and the old and weak women and children do not participate in such things, but now...... They don't look like they're going to attack a convoy, but like ...... Defection?
Guessing their intentions, Xu Hui's heart sank slightly, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
She should have been happy about this matter, and the people's desire was an important condition for being the king. However, Xu Hui has also been in contact with many military and government affairs over the years, and he knows in his heart that for the current Shangdang Xu family, there must be a limit to the city's kindness.
If the world is in turmoil, and the forces of the four sides rely on their own abilities, the more people who come to defect, the better. But if there is no chaos today, too many homeless people from other counties are taken in, firstly, it seems that those families in the county are incompetent, which will lose the face of the other party and make enemies in all directions, and secondly, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and even prematurely expose the ambition of the Xu clan of the party to win the world. Therefore, this head cannot be opened, at least not at the moment. But if you don't save yourself when you die, what will happen to the popularity that your grandfather has accumulated over the years?
Thinking of this, Xu Hui frowned, and only after a moment did he ask Xu Lin: "Uncle Zhongning, what did grandfather say?" β
When Xu Lin heard this, he said respectfully: "Master Lang said that if the girl thinks of a way, she should let go and do it boldly." β
Hearing that Xu Ze pressed all this courage on her body, Xu Hui couldn't help but feel heavy on her shoulders, she groaned for a moment, bit the tip of her tongue, and then said, "I'll go find my grandfather." With that, he turned his horse's head and hurried towards the front of the convoy.
The speed of the ox cart is far from that of the horse, even if Xu Hui deliberately puts the speed full of speed in order not to arouse everyone's suspicion, it is only a moment of effort to get ahead.
Seeing Xu Hui get off the horse neatly, Ah Yuan, who was with him, hurriedly led the foal that Xu Hui was riding, Xu Hui didn't bother to care so much, and climbed into Xu Ze's ox cart with a grunt, and saw that his grandfather was holding a volume of "Zhuangzi", quietly savoring, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and a trace of admiration rose.
At this time, my grandfather was so calm...... Her qi cultivation kung fu is really far from home.
After reading a volume, Xu Zecai put down the book in his hand and asked, "But you haven't come up with a good way?" β
Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, then nodded with some hesitation, Xu Ze saw this, and laughed softly: "Did you not come up with a good method, or did you think that your method was not thorough enough?" β
"Granddaughter ......" Xu Hui just wanted to say the method he thought of and give Xu Ze a detailed reference, Xu Ze raised his right hand and motioned her not to say, "Whatever you think of, let it go and do it boldly, don't ask me." β
Xu Hui looked at Xu Ze and said with some hesitation: "But ......"
"Hui'er, you're too dependent on me."
"Grandfatherβ"
Seeing Xu Hui's anxious and lost look, Xu Ze gently patted her shoulder and said gently: "You are used to obeying my orders, and you think that my judgment must be correct, as long as I am by your side, you like to ask me what you decide, this is not good for you." β
"You should have your own thoughts and judgments, instead of going along with me and being my echo worm, you know?"
Xu Hui nodded slightly, but couldn't help but distinguish: "However, every decision of my grandfather is correct, and his thoughts are extremely thoughtful, but my granddaughter is ......."
Xu Ze smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Even if you are a god, it is impossible to achieve the perfection of everything, and it is even more impossible for me." Hui'er, do you understand? β
