As soon as he entered the city, Fang Xiaoyu felt the oppressive atmosphere in the city.
First of all, there were very few people on the streets, only a dozen people in a hurry, which was a strange thing for a city.
There are almost no vendors on the streets, and many of the shops along the streets are closed. The doors and windows of every house are closed, and even the occasional sound of children crying will stop immediately.
Where she was, there was a shallow pool of blood in the middle of the street, which looked like it had been some time, but no one had washed it away, so there was still a trace of it.
Fang Xiaoyu frowned, this place is completely different from the Beiyan where she lived when she was a child, it is like a dead city, if you stand in the middle of the road in the middle of the night, you will think it is haunted.
"Young master, there is something wrong in this city, it's better to be careful." Tu Hongzheng is really a little uncomfortable with such an environment. But fortunately, he remembered that Fang Xiaoyu was now dressed as a woman, so he hadn't forgotten to call her 'Young Master' instead of 'Miss'.
Fang Xiaoyu nodded. With such a strange scene, you know that there must be something wrong.
"Let's go to the willow alley that the guard just said and take a look, think of finding a place to stay, and then check slowly." Fang Xiaoyu turned around and walked towards the south of the city, she naturally saw the guard's greedy murderous intent and even felt the pity in his eyes, she understood. The situation in the city must be serious, and the guard probably wants to eat the black and eat the carts of food in her hand.
All this food was made from a family that was like smoke. When the 50,000 Gyeonggi guards arrived, they would be deducted from the imperial court's rations. She just knew that if she brought other goods into the city, she might not be able to do it, but if it was the most scarce food in Beiyan now, there was a chance that she would be able to catch a few small fish.
Fortunately, there are not many people now, and the truckloads of goods she brought with her did not attract people's attention.
However, the more you go south of the city. And the number of people began to increase, the vendors who set up stalls, and the merchants who opened shops. Although everyone has a melancholy on their faces, at least it looks like the scenery of a city.
Unsurprisingly, Fang Xiaoyu and his party attracted people's attention.
Fang Xiaoyu had already prepared the cloth and covered all the carts of grain. No one knows what's in it. But it doesn't prevent her from being the eye of everyone.
Fang Xiaoyu saw pity in these gazes. It seemed that she shouldn't have come to this place, and even a few people shook their heads in front of her, saying two words of pity.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't rush to find out what stories were hidden in the expressions of these people, but first, as the guard said, found the willow alley, walked to the innermost, and knocked on the innermost door.
It didn't take long to wait before someone came to open the door. The door was opened by a young man who looked to be in his twenties, his eyes narrowed. It looks very lazy, as if it hasn't woken up.
"Who are you looking for?" The young man yawned, looking impatient.
Fang Xiaoyu regained his philistine appearance, and said with a smile: "This little brother, this young master was introduced here by the guard, and he wants to do some business. β
The young man glanced at Fang Xiaoyu lightly, then stretched out his head to look at the grain cart following behind Fang Xiaoyu, and said, "In that case, come in." As he spoke, he turned sideways and made way for Fang Xiaoyu and the others.
"Then bother the little brother to find someone to watch the grain. If I negotiate with your master, my brother will move these grains in. Fang Xiaoyu still maintained the appearance of a smile. Businessmen always have to smile when they see business, especially this kind of businessman who wants money and does not want to die.
The little brother gave a perfunctory 'um' and said, "Then you can go in." β
After Fang Xiaoyu entered the house, the young brother looked at their backs with an indifferent expression, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel arc.
He hurriedly ordered all the food to be brought into the house, and then closed the door, locking it tightly from the inside.
And after Fang Xiaoyu entered the courtyard, she saw the guard's 'friend' as she wished. The friend was enthusiastic and welcomed her into the house, even the bodyguards she brought with her were invited into the courtyard one by one.
He chatted and began to talk about trivial things, until the young brother entered the courtyard and gave him a look, and he showed his true face.
Fang Xiaoyu looked at the people who surrounded them with some amusement. These people hid in all corners of the courtyard, and when they heard the order of that 'friend', they all came out and surrounded Fang Xiaoyu and everyone.
"Master Tang, what does this mean?" Fang Xiaoyu put away his obscene posture and turned into a beautiful son who was as gentle as jade.
The other party's expression froze, and then he sneered: "What does Young Master Yu think? β
When Fang Xiaoyu was introduced, he hid his true identity, and instead said that his surname was Yu, which was actually Fang Xiaoyu reading backwards, so he was called Yu Xiaofang.
"Young master, I am naturally stupid, I don't read much, I always can't understand the current situation, if Master Tang is not too troublesome, can you give me some advice?" In Fang Xiaoyu's body, Master Tang couldn't see the slightest nervousness, which always made him have a bad premonition.
"Puff is not guilty, but he is guilty. Those truckloads of grain of yours are too eye-catching. At this point, it was the young man who spoke. Although the young man's eyes at this moment are still lazy, he is braving a fierce light, and he looks like a person who is not easy to get along with.
"If you do this, aren't you afraid that the guards will blame you?" Tu Hongzheng snorted coldly.
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter, looking at Tu Hongzheng and the others' eyes full of ridicule and pity: "If it weren't for the guard's intentions, how could we dare to do such a thing?" β
Tu Hongzheng's eyes were stunned, and he was about to make a move, but was stopped by Fang Xiaoyu. Then Fang Xiao looked at the old man Tang and said, "You have eaten the goods of Young Master Ben, and what are you going to do with Young Master Ben and the others?" Is it put? Is it killing? β
That Old Master Tang almost laughed, pointed to Fang Xiaoyu's nose and said, "What a naΓ―ve young master." Entered the whole door and still want to go back alive? β
"So, you're going to kill?" Fang Xiaoyu suddenly laughed.
"Kill and bury. At least I won't make you an ownerless lonely soul, and I won't thank you for your generosity? Hahahahaha! Seeing Fang Xiaoxiao, Master Tang and the others laughed and laughed insolently.
But they didn't see Fang Xiaoyu's suddenly soft gaze.
"I'm a man who can't see blood, so I always want to talk to people. But there are always people who don't cooperate, and they are helpless. Since you have all made a decision......" Fang Xiaoyu looked at Master Tang and the others with pity, stretched out his hand to point at Master Tang and the young man with lazy eyes, and then said, "Except for these two." Kill the rest. I was worried that there was no place to stay, and Young Master Ben felt that this place was good. β
As soon as Fang Xiaoyu's words fell, he saw that Tu Hongzheng and those 'family members' were all moved. And it was only for a moment, except for the old man Tang and the young man, everyone had already fallen to the ground and convulsed a few times, and then there was no sound.
Master Tang and the young man were paralyzed by the sudden accident. Didn't think of dozens of them. In an instant, there was no piece of armor left behind by more than a dozen people.
Only then did they know that it was a kick to the iron plate.
Come to think of it, Beiyan still dares to sell goods in such a situation now, if he has no ability, how can it be?
Not to mention Master Tang and others, even Tu Hongzheng had palpitations. In just two or three breaths, everyone is dead. And he was the first to strike. But he didn't grab a head.
All of these Moon Shadow Divisions are terrifyingly tight. The means of killing are clean and neat. The sword in his hand was unsheathed, only a thin blade. and reaped the lives of all.
Tu Hongzheng was secretly shocked in his heart. Looking at Fang Xiaoyu's gaze, he became more and more awe-inspiring.
These people are still so powerful, how terrifying should Fang Xiaoyu, who trained these people with his own hands?
"You...... Who are you? "How could Master Tang have ever seen such a formation? He relied on the guard at the gate of the city to show off his might in the border city, and the most powerful person he had ever seen was only the guard's own uncle, and his martial arts skills were all good. But if you compare it with these people, the other party is like a child, not at the same level at all.
"Tie these two up and ask about the situation in Beiyan City. Ji Xuan Ji Wu, the two of you set up a set of formations outside this courtyard, so that no one will break in at will.
"Lord, how shall this grain be placed?" At this moment, Ji Xuan Ji Wu immediately went to work on the matter of the formation, but the heron of the shadow division suddenly stepped forward and asked.
"You have always been delicate, and this matter will be left to you. You first go and check how much food there is in total, leave our own rations, and then take out some of it, let's just say that this young master's mother believes in Buddhism, and if she can't see the suffering of the people, she will release food for free, and you can save as much as you can. Fang Xiaoyu didn't bring much food, just a dozen carts. That's all, it was still made up by the Yu Ruyan family and the other two good families, so it was impossible for her to put in the limited amount of food. However, it would not be long before the million loads of grain that Inkmark had brought from elsewhere arrived, and she could be more generous then. In addition, the one million loads of grain allocated by the imperial court are also on the way, which can be used to supply the army for the time being, so the food she bought with her own money was originally prepared for the people of Beiyan.
"My subordinates will do it." Heron is full of energy.
The reason why Fang Xiaoyu wanted to leave this matter to her was because she knew that Heron empathized with the disaster victims.
At the beginning, the heron was still a thin little girl, because her hometown was hit by a locust plague, she left her hometown with her parents and a younger brother, and followed the victims all the way north.
The road was long and the people's hearts were unpredictable, and her brother, who was less than two years old, starved to death, and her mother was not spared. finally arrived at the city, and was locked out of the city gate and not allowed to enter the city, her father was already weak, and before he could enter the city, he vomited blood and died. She was left alone, lonely. Fortunately, some well-wishers saw that they could not enter the city, so they gave rice and food, and she finally survived. Later, the prefect let them into the city and gave them a dirty place to stay, and she has been living in such a mess. Although he did not starve to death, he was also yellow and thin, and he had no human shape.
After that, for two whole years, she didn't eat a full meal, begging all the way to Beijing, so she left that humble accommodation and only went on the road.
She doesn't remember why she wanted to enter Beijing, but she firmly remembered her mother's words, saying that her home was originally in Beijing, and her parents and brothers were. But because he followed his father, the family did not agree, so he had to break off the relationship between his parents. She said goodbye to her parents and resolutely followed her father away, and her life was not poor. Unexpectedly, the family suffered a disaster, and the family died desperately, and she was the only one left.
finally begged to the capital, she was deceived and sold to the Qinglou. The old bustard insisted on her picking up customers, but she couldn't do it, and when she was almost killed, she was bought, and then taken to the Moon Shadow Division, where she was trained to become a killer.
Although she is a killer, she does not feel sad at all. At the Moon Shadow Division, she was well-fed and well-dressed, and although her training was a little harder and more dangerous, she couldn't have been happier than before. And the Lord is very good to them, teaching them to practice martial arts and the way of killing, and always telling them when they go out on a mission to give priority to saving their lives rather than tasks.
She was grateful.
Because of this, she always has compassion for the people who have been affected by the disaster. This time, Fang Xiaoyu handed over all this to her, also so that she could feel at ease.
After arranging everything properly, Fang Xiaoyu took Tu Hongzheng out of the door. She needed to find out what was going on in the border city first. Why is it that there are people in the south of the city, but there are dead cities in the east and in the middle of the city?
Walking out of Willow Hutong, Fang Xiaoyu walked towards a small stall selling wontons.
She only used a few pieces of jerky to nibble on a dry steamed bun along the way, her mouth was dry, and she wanted to drink something with some soup and water.
She found a table next to her and sat down, ordered two bowls of wontons, and then began to ask the boss about Beiyan's condition.
The boss who sold the wontons didn't hide it, but said, "The little brother is here to do business in Beiyan?" β
"yes. It was only after I came here that I realized that it seemed too deserted. Fang Xiaoyu replied with a smile.
Xu is she always has a gentle smile, which makes the boss feel kind, so the boss is not xenophobic, but warmly reminded: "Little brother, you shouldn't come." β
"Why is that?" Fang Xiaoyu asked suspiciously.
The boss said while putting the wontons in the pot: "Hey, little brother, you don't know anything." The city is now sealed, and not a drop of water leaks, and those who come in cannot get out. After speaking, the boss looked around left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he said again: "When the little brother entered the city, did he see a pool of blood on the street?" β
Fang Xiaoyu immediately remembered the faint bloodstain he had seen before, so he nodded.
The old man who sold the wontons sighed, "It was all the blood of the dead people." Since General Fang's defeat, the defenders in this city have been like crazy and have killed a lot of people. As he spoke, the old man deliberately leaned in front of Fang Xiaoyu again, and whispered: "I heard that all of them are the family members of General Fang's henchmen, and I don't know what evil has been done." β
The old man shook his head, as if he was in a sad mood. But at this moment, everyone swept the snow in front of the door, even if they felt angry and pity in their hearts, they did not dare to openly confront the defenders.
Fang Xiaoyu also heard that because the garrison's barracks were in the east of the city, and the government was in the city, there were fewer and fewer people there, and they didn't dare to go out, so they only locked themselves in their homes, for fear of being unjustified. In the south and north of the city, in addition to the fixed defenders, it is safer, so there will be more people here than in the east of the city.
After a while, the ravioli was cooked. Fang Xiaoyu found that this wonton was not made of dough, but a green one that I don't know what it was, and just as he was about to ask, he heard a scream in the distance, accompanied by a crying sound that came far away. Fang Xiaoyu stood up and glanced at it, then his eyes froze, and he muttered to himself, "Uncle...... Uncle......? β
