On the forest road more than ten miles away from Twilight City, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and several people rode horses. The leader of the team www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion is a snowy steed, running with hooves.

The man on the tall horse was dressed in a golden rhombic dark pattern brocade robe, with long hair and jade belts, sword eyebrows and sideburns, a serious expression on his jade-like face, shining black eyes, and thin lips slightly pursed.

"Qin Guan, which side is it?" Yuan Hongxuan looked sideways at Qin Guan who was following behind him and asked, but the horse's speed did not decrease in the slightest.

"It's the southwest direction in front, turn into the woods not far from this road, and you can see it with half a cup of tea!" Pan Yiqian had set off to return to Beixin the day before yesterday, and when he left, he went to Xuande Hall to tell Yuan Hongxuan all the news that Pinggu knew.

It turned out that the carriage that Qin Guan and they found under the cliff was the one carrying Miao Zhi on the road, and they also heard her say that Zhi'er fell into the river, and her life and death were uncertain, even if she was still alive, she didn't know where she was washed away by the turbulent river.

In the past month, he has been living anxiously and waiting every day, and it is easy to get clues about Zhi'er, but it is the heart-wrenching news that life and death are uncertain.

He didn't believe that his Zhi'er would die so easily, although he clearly knew that Miao Zhi's whole state was not good at all when she left the palace, but he still stubbornly believed that his Zhi'er was still alive.

The white horse neighed, Huo Ran stopped, and if he moved forward slightly, he would fall into the cliff from which he would never recover. Horses kick and stomp in the dust, flicking their manes. Yuan Hongxuan stretched out his hand and patted the horse's neck a few times, his deep black eyes were extraordinarily bright, and he carefully searched the corners and corners in front of him.

"Qin Guan, send someone to find out where this river flows?" Yuan Hongxuan's eyes were sharp, although the surging river in front of him magnified his anxiety and worry several times, but he still gave orders calmly and rationally, which was the courage that an emperor must have.

"Yes!" Qin Guan responded, and glanced at the sun in the sky again, "Your Majesty, it's almost noon, let's go back to the palace!" ”

Recently, Yuan Hongxuan and Zhen Yuqian have exchanged letters frequently, the reason is that there have been large and small attacks in the border area between Yueluo and their two countries, these Hu people burned, killed and looted their land, and both countries sent some troops to resist, but with little success.

In previous years, when it came to the harsh winter, there would be occasional snatching of cattle and sheep grain, but this time it was different, it was the summer when the plants were lush and the wild things were abundant, and such large-scale looting was undoubtedly a naked edict, telling them their covetousness and ambition for the land of the Central Plains.

Both Dongyuan and Beixin have just experienced many civil strife, which have caused great losses in terms of human and financial resources, and are extremely scarce in resources. At this moment, the national situation simply cannot allow them to launch a large-scale war again, but this does not mean that they have to swallow their anger and let these barbarians ride on their heads to.

Day and night defense, but the moon setting people are tall and strong, strong, and very brave and good at fighting, and these Central Plains men who are a lot shorter are not their opponents at all.

If they really want to fight, maybe they will fight, and these barbarians will not be able to take advantage of it, but they are such a small force attacking in turns, and they will not stop for a day, which makes the soldiers stationed at the border very headache.

The place where Yao Village is located has an excellent geographical location, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, and is rich in resources, but the people in the village are only barely able to eat and clothe themselves, although they are isolated from the outside, they still can't escape from the emperor's jurisdiction, and they still have to pay grain and taxes.

Miao Zhi followed Yisheng up the mountain every time, her body was much healthier and stronger than before, her body was light, and she felt like the wind under her feet when she walked.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, this is not wrong at all, the two of them worked hard, and the cold and gentle house now has the taste of home.

Yisheng's favorite life is like this, he goes to the village every day to see people sick, and on the way back, he can always see the smoke curling from his chimney from a distance, and when he enters the door, he can always see the busy figure in the small kitchen.

He and her, they are like a couple, living their own little life calmly and comfortably.

The days in the village are quiet and comfortable, Miao Zhi has nothing to do, and she will also be pulled by the aunts and daughters-in-law in the village to her own house to chat and relieve boredom.

"Eh, sweet girl, did your man follow your father-in-law to the field today?" It was Hu Ziniang who spoke, and the melon seeds in her mouth had not been swallowed, but the melon seed skin in her mouth spit out far away when she spoke.

Although Yisheng doesn't need clothes, there are only two bodies that can be changed over and over, not to mention Miao Zhi, when she arrived in this village, it was still early summer, and it was the middle of summer at the moment, and the sweat of the somewhat thick cloth clothes on her body caused her to wash and change in the morning every night.

Miao Zhi was lame in needlework, and it happened that the other robe that Yisheng replaced was hung by a tree branch last time she went to the mountain, so she went to Huzi's house and wanted Huzi Niang to make up for Yisheng. As soon as Hu Ziniang heard Miao Zhi say that she wanted to make clothes again, she led her to the house of this little daughter-in-law called a sweet girl.

Sweet girl is the daughter-in-law of the duck egg lady, that is, the woman who donated blood for herself, the sweet girl's man is called Yao Zhu, he is a cripple, I heard that it is like this when he comes out of the womb, it can't be cured, it always hurts when it rains and changes, and he can't work more in the ground. Fortunately, they live in the same village with their in-laws, and the work in the fields can always help. Sweet girl's needlework is also well-known in the village, and generally the little daughters-in-law will come to her to make clothes, and her family has accumulated a lot of materials.

Hu Ziniang is a good hand, and in a few words, Miao Zhi's summer clothes were solved, and they were pieced together with the cloth of Tianniu's house, and the villagers didn't want money, just give a few more packets of herbs to his man next time.

Tianniu is a very shy woman, she and Yao Zhu's son is just eight months old, the child is white and fat, and she is sitting in the arms of her little daughter-in-law and picking her little feet.

"But no, although the notice posted above, the new emperor reduced the taxes of the peasants, but this grain is not enough to eat, even if it is reduced by half, our rations are still tight, if it is not next to this mountain, the men can always get some game and mountain delicacies back, I really don't know how to live my life!"

The child in Sweet Girl's arms seemed to be very interested in Miao Zhi, the first person to come to the house, and when his mother spoke, the little one's attention shifted from his feet to Miao Zhi. (To be continued.) )
