"The water isn't very clean, but it's not a big deal." Zhang Shouyi said slowly: "With me, a small measure can solve it." ”

Although Xia Shaoyuan and Zhang Shouyi have not been together for a long time, he has vaguely guessed Zhang Shouyi's identity, and now that the young masters of southern Xinjiang have said that this water is no problem, he is also relieved.

But then I remembered the inexplicable words that Zhang Shouyi just said, what does Liu Jingzhi have a problem?

Xia Shaoyuan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was about to speak, but Zhang Shouyi preemptively said: "You look at the records of the granary, can you see that there is no famous hall?" ”

Xia Shaoyuan's eyes flashed slightly, knowing that Zhang Shouyi didn't want to talk about that issue at this time, so he followed Zhang Shouyi's words and said: "In fact, the grain reserves in Fengying City are higher than we expected before, but even so, based on the minimum standard of survival of one bowl of gruel per person per day, after seven days, hundreds of thousands of people in Fengying City will also face the dilemma of running out of food." ”

Zhang Shouyi frowned and was silent, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and without food, even if he had the means to reach the sky, he would not be able to use it.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Shaoyuan turned to Liu Jingzhi: "There are still two counties under Jinzhou, what is the situation now?" ”

Liu Jingzhi smiled bitterly: "Taiping County and Weining County are both big counties, among which Weining County is still in charge of Qian Taishou himself. As soon as the flood occurred, Xia Guan sent someone to ask Qian Taishou for help, but the disaster situation in Weining County seems to be stricter than ours, and the garrison where Qian Taishou is located has long been empty. ”

"People go to the empty building?" Xia Shaoyuan frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Wu Yi sneered: "It's just running away, this money is too guarded, I used to hear Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials say a few words, every time he audits, he is the most generous, Jinzhou is a broken place, although the land is fertile, but every year it suffers disasters, what oil and water can there be, where did his silver come from, you don't have to think about it to guess." ”

Although Xia Shaoyuan is a bachelor's degree. But in the end, there is no need to go to the court, the network of contacts in the court, but Wu Yi, a military general, knows better than him.

Liu Jingzhi smiled bitterly and said nothing, they had such a parent official who escaped from the battle in Jinzhou. He also felt ashamed, but what could he do with a small county guard.

Xia Shaoyuan returned the records of the granary to Liu Jingzhi, and asked him to think about it again and delay it for as many days as possible. Lord Shao's brigade is also hurrying to arrive, and if you want to come in ten days at most, you can also arrive.

Liu Jingzhi felt that he saw a ray of light and left gratefully.

The three people in the hall fell silent.

After a while, Xia Shaoyuan said bitterly: "How is she now?" ”

Zhang Shouyi had a strange look on his face: "Although I know I can't be mistaken, but"

"How?" Wu Yi was also a little nervous, and asked anxiously.

Zhang Shouyi looked through the window lattice, looked at the endless yellow soup in the distance, and smiled bitterly: "This woman seems to have run to the other side of Qishui." ”

"What?" Xia Shaoyuan stood up suddenly.

Zhang Shouyi nodded slightly: "I found out about three days ago." It's just that I thought it was impossible at the time, and I didn't dare to be sure, but now I can be sure that this woman is indeed on the other side. ”

At that time, Chu Feifei and Du Ziqi entered a different realm, and Zhang Shouyi also lost his orientation sense for a while, only knowing that Chu Feifei was still alive, but he had been very weak.

No matter how anxious everyone is, they can't stay in the tunnel all the time, not to mention that Xia Shaoyuan and Wu Yi are both officials of the imperial court. Although he was worried that Chu Feifei had their own responsibilities in the end, he decided to go to Jinju first to appease the disaster. While looking for it slowly.

At this moment, hearing Zhang Shouyi say with such certainty that Chu Feifei had news, the other two were relieved.

But then Xia Shaoyuan frowned slightly, and slowly sat back in the chair: "We stayed in the tunnel for five days, and it took two days to get out and rush to Fengying City today, you said three days ago." Doesn't that mean that when we were still in the tunnel, Feifei had already arrived on the other side of Qishui? ”

Zhang Shouyi touched his chin and said: "Yes, we walked through a flat tunnel, that little girl fell into the ground, but now she is out of the mountain earlier than us, it is really incredible." ”

Wu Yi suddenly shouted: "Whether she is faster than us or not, the key is how did she get to the other side?" Where can you still find intact boats around Qishui? Even if she could find it, the ruins and broken walls that washed down from time to time on the flood, the big trees and boulders, where could she sail the boat, alas, even if she put aside this qiē, what would she do on the other side of the water? It's the boundary of Yongzhou, right? The emperor sent her, but it was Jinju who was governed! ”

The three of them looked at each other, and after a while, they let out a wry smile at the same time, but didn't they, did this woman know that she had crossed the line?

At this moment, Chu Feifei, who was recognized by the three subordinates as having crossed the line, was standing in a low-lying muddy puddle.

Dressed in a simple robe, the muddy water was cold, Chu Feifei shivered while digging the mud and sand in the yellow mud pit. There were two baskets beside the mud pit, one half full and the other empty.

A man dressed in black and looking like an overseer with a leather whip in his hand patrolled the shore.

There are many yellow mud pits like Chu Feifei, and from a distance, the river in this valley is like a sieve with a leaky bottom, large or small mud pits, destroying this river valley so that it is impossible to see the whole picture at all.

Chu Feifei was digging, and her eyes were secretly looking around, not far from her was another mud pit, and the people inside were also wearing robes, and judging by the body movements, it should be a man in the prime of life.

At this moment, another man in black walked briskly, and their overseer greeted him and saluted slightly.

Chu Feifei took the opportunity to whisper to the "neighbor": "Hey! Feed! ”

The "neighbor" in the pit next door turned around, and a face that was so muddy that it was impossible to see the background color, except for the whites of his eyes, it was all yellow mud.

Chu Feifei couldn't help but think that his current dignity must not be much better than this.

"Brother, do you know where this is?" Chu Fei said in a rough voice.

The "neighbor" stared at Chu Feifei coldly, did not answer, and just continued to dig in the mud.

Chu Feifei said undiscouragedly: "Brother Tai, this is Jinju, right?" ”

The man glanced at Chu Feifei like a neuropath, and turned his back.

Chu Feifei was a little depressed, he was also a fallen person at the end of the world, why was this person so unfriendly.

At this time, the sound of disputes on the shore faintly reached Chu Feifei's ears, and Chu Feifei hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

I only heard intermittent words: Feng Yingcheng must speed up the ship and capsize the man

The man in black seemed to have come to deliver a message, and when he had finished speaking, he turned to leave.

Their overseer looked in a bad mood, shook his whip with a snap, and shouted: "Give me a little faster, useless people, there is no need to waste food, whoever can't complete the task for Lao Tzu today, Lao Tzu will sacrifice him to the river god!" (To be continued.) )
