In fact, the situation was far from being as bad as Ali Hague had envisioned, and if his scouts could cross the Yongzhou line and go deeper to the south, they would find that hundreds of people were gathering along the coast from all directions, and this process involved more than a dozen prefectures in southern Guangxi, including Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and Yulin, and they would also be the last to be relocated.

It is not to blame these people for procrastinating, in the coastal areas, the registration points set up by the government have expanded from a dozen to hundreds, and all the scribes and officials are working in shifts, working day and night, but it takes time for the sea ship to go back and forth, and it also takes time to enter and disembark the port when it arrives there, and if the weather is bad, it has to delay time, so although more than 3,000 large ships have been put into the sea, tens of thousands of people can be transported over at a time, there are still many people stranded on the seaside.

Of course, in addition to the common people, the last to board the ship will definitely be Jiang Cai's cavalry, they formed a loose interception line along the Yongzhou area, which also contains a large number of people, for them, these Yuan people are used to ask for merit and reward, each head is worth a lot of money, especially those authentic Mongols.

Thanks to their familiarity with the terrain, they hid in the mountains and forests, passes, and ambushed those enemy scouts who passed by rashly, from the first lone to the later even a complete team of 100 people, although they may not be able to leave all of them, at least let the Yuan people scruple about it, and dare not send a small group of people to explore around, so that the blockade of news in the south has reached a very ideal state, however, Jiang Cai's face is still not the slightest relaxed.

The news that the Yuan army arrived in Jingjiang City, he was the first to learn from the spies on his side, and while transferring the news to the rear, he strengthened the inspection of this matter, fortunately, the people have already evacuated, and even those who were originally unwilling to go, seeing that there was no one around, they had to follow the road, and no one was willing to stay and face the Tartars alone.

With his manpower, if the Yuan people are desperate to go down with the whole army, they will not be able to resist, and even the attack is very reluctant, because the other party is not short of cavalry, fortunately, the Qingxiang in the territory has been done thoroughly, the Yuan people do not dare to move forward rashly, perhaps they are accumulating strength, no matter what the situation is, they have won a valuable buffer period, as long as the people have crossed the sea, the burden on his shoulders will be much lighter, even if he can't get on the boat in the end, such a vast area, where can he go?

There is another reason why he personally waited here, Shi Zhong came back, and he came with a big cart, which was a rare pack horse in the south, not an ordinary healthy ox, and the purpose of this was of course to speed up, as for the people in the car, Jiang only opened the curtain from the back compartment and glanced at it, then covered his nose and retreated.

"She's the orphan you said? How to bind hands and feet, and do not wash. ”

"That's her." Shi Zhong looked miserable: "Hundreds of people, all of them died, just this time there was still a breath, so she was carried down the mountain, I didn't expect her to wake up to find death and life, and not let the man touch, helpless, can only tie hands and feet, stuffed a cotton towel in the mouth, boiled porridge every day, opened the mouth and poured it, and reluctantly sent it here, if it wasn't for Fu Shuai must let her survive, it is really better to wipe her neck clean." ”

Jiang Cai then understood, looking at the inside, this girl is only afraid that she is fifteen or sixteen years old, and it is strange that she can survive when she encounters such a tragic accident, but this is not a way after all, just a glance, the girl's eyes are dead ashes, she is so thin that there are not a few taels of flesh, and the whole person is not much different from dead, from thousands of miles away, against the pursuit of the enemy, what is the use of being transported here to the bottom, he doesn't want to know, since it is Liu Yu who has spoken, just follow it.

"What's next? Are you going to send her across the sea directly? ”

"Director Li said that someone would pick him up, you can find someone to take care of it for a while, so and so-and-so won't go, it's only right to go forward and keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Tartar."

It seems that Shi Zhong complained a lot along the way, threw down such a burden, and planned to pull his feet and leave, Jiang Cai pulled him back funny: "I'm back, I'm going to rest for a day or two, and there are people staring at me in front of me, and there are a lot of you Shi Biaozi." ”

As he spoke, he pointed in the other direction: "Your mother-in-law has asked a certain number of times around the corner, and since she has returned, go and find her to make a place, so as to save her shame again." ”

Shi Zhong didn't understand for a while, and said in amazement: "Isn't that mother-in-law in western Zhejiang, when did you find it?" ”

Jiang Cai just smiled and said nothing, he glanced at the direction of his finger, and suddenly reacted, he was a little embarrassed for a while, but under his feet was a tiger and a tiger, slipping faster than a rabbit, Jiang Cai shook his head, turned around and saw the big car, the smile on his face disappeared all of a sudden, thinking of Shi Zhong's words, maybe he should go to the people to find some women? After thinking about it, let's wait for someone to come.

Fortunately, people came quickly, and before it was nightfall, a group of people came from the direction of the seaside, and the leader took off his hat, revealing a handsome face, and hugged his fist at him: "Zhao Yue, the slave, on the order of the director of Ji Yisi, has come to see Zhaofu." ”

It's a woman!

Jiang Cai is not familiar with her, there is nothing to say, just hand over the people to them and leave it alone, the newly established organization of Ji Yisi is obviously for Liu Yu alone, and he does not intend to be too involved.

For Zhao Yue, whether the other party is deliberately cold or because of gender, she only cares about her own errands, speaking of which, she came all the way from Jiankang Mansion to escort Zhang Qingyun and the families of other Jiangdong brothers, naturally including her and her father, only a few days after arriving in Guangxi, she was sent here without even looking at Qiongzhou, the reason is very simple, the target is a woman like her.

However, when her husband told her about the cause and effect, she realized that no one was more suitable for this person than her, and Zhao Yue'e had a sense of empathy for what happened to that girl.

Although mentally prepared, when she opened the back door and saw the scene inside, especially when she smelled the peculiar smell, Zhao Yue'e almost wanted to quit, and endured the sensory discomfort, she got into the carriage, looked carefully, and then shouted outside: "Go and boil a basin of hot water." ”

Maybe she heard a woman's voice, and the eyes of the girl who was tied hands and feet and gagged her mouth moved, Zhao Yue'e keenly noticed this, and said softly to her: "I'll untie the rope on your feet first, help you get out of the car, there is a tent outside, can you walk, if not, you have to be carried by a man outside, if you agree, blink your eyes, okay?" ”

Hearing the word man, the girl showed a frightened look, she blinked obediently, let Zhao Yue'e untie her feet, and carried her to the ground, Xu is feet were tied for too long, and it was a little inconvenient to walk, and she was limped into a temporary camp tent by Zhao Yue.

There were just two of them in the tent, Zhao Yue'e let her sit down, but she didn't rush to solve other places, her strength was not great, if something really happened, I was afraid that I would have to rely on people outside to help, which would defeat the purpose of this trip, and I could only maintain this appearance before I was sure that the other party would not find a short-term meeting.

"I'm a woman just like you." Zhao Yue'e was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so she untied her bun and sat opposite her: "It's not my idea to save you, if something like this happens, anyone will be the same as you, it's easy to die, a rope can be broken, but if you survive, you will suffer every day." ”

"Do you know Jiangzhou?" The girl didn't say anything, she continued to talk to herself: "A few months ago, it was still under the rule of the Yuan people, and now I am afraid that it is. ”

Speaking of the past that she was most reluctant to mention, Zhao Yue's voice was a little low, and her expression darkened: "That day, I still remember that I often have nightmares, the dog official threatened my father's life, forced me to serve one of the Tartars, and the moment I walked out of the house, I just thought I was dead." ”

The process was already full of twists and turns, and when she told the story, it was like telling a story that had nothing to do with it, and slowly the girl's eyes were a little different, and she obviously listened to it.

“...... My luck is better than yours, but it's just that kind of humiliation, bone-gnawing, heart-wrenching. The girl's eyes looked at her steadily, as if she was experiencing the feeling she was talking about, Zhao Yue'e stretched out her hand to caress the other party's cheek, and found that she was no longer so resistant: "After I came out, I asked my father for his life and vowed to marry him, no matter what he did." ”

Zhao Yue'e said as she untied the cotton towel in her mouth, and the top had been bitten with holes everywhere, which showed how hard she had been: "There are many kinds of death, this is the most difficult, with your strength, I am afraid of biting the root of the tongue constantly, and finally it becomes a life and death, I don't want to persuade you anything, just to tell you that you are not the only one who has been insulted in this world, they have traveled thousands of miles to save you at the cost of their lives, and they are not to live in humiliation." ”

The girl inadvertently found that the things in her mouth were gone, and subconsciously opened it, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, listened to her words, and asked blankly: "Is he willing to marry you?" ”

"We were married a few months ago." Zhao Yue'e wrapped her hair around a few times, still tied it into a bun, and wrapped it with a strip of cloth.

The girl shook her head: "How...... Live. ”

She used a declarative sentence instead of a question sentence, obviously not a reason or an answer, the encounter between the two is different, this Zhao Yue'e knows this, she slowly untied the rope in the girl's hand, and said: "There is another half of this story, do you want to hear it?" ”

Outside the tent, the people she brought had already boiled hot water, and in a hurry they could not find the wooden bucket, and they did not know where they had found a wooden basin.

Zhao Yue'e used a cotton towel to put hot water on the girl's face and wiped the traces on the girl's face, because she didn't eat much and experienced a tragedy, the girl's face looked thin and boneless, but the appearance was still very thoughtful, thinking that such a look would bring unimaginable disasters, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"After that day, someone said to me, 'When a woman encounters something, she will only hide, can she hide for the rest of her life?' It's always a thorn in my heart, so it's better to risk my life and kill that dog officer. Somehow, I followed her like this, and returned to Jiangzhou under the rule of the Tartars, and I was killed by mistake along the way, and the result really made me kill, thinking that I Zhao Yue'e didn't even dare to catch a chicken on weekdays, and actually killed people. ”

"Yours guy treats you so well." The girl looked at her in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe it.

"It's not him, it's just like you, it's a woman."

Seeing the stunned look on the girl's face, Zhao Yue'e smiled: "That's a strange woman, there are countless Tartar lives under her hands, if she is here, she will not tell you stories, she will only scold, scolding you is useless, since you are willing to find a short view, why not fight for this life, and return it to your father?" ”

"Daddy...... Mother! ”

The girl muttered, tears streaming from her parched eyes and rolling down her towels.

"You come from a scholarly family, you know more than me, you have lost your chastity, although you are in pain, but you are all killed, and there is only one person left, isn't this the will of heaven in the dark? Don't you want to think about it, to avenge these dead souls? On the first and fifteenth days of the new year, a pillar of incense was offered so that they could rest in peace. ”

People need a motivation to survive, hatred is born from this, no kind of story can compare to this is real, and the girl's eyes finally had a trace of fluctuation: "Can you teach me how to use a knife?" ”

"I don't know how to use a knife, even if I don't have strength, I may not be as strong as you, I used stones to kill people in the first place." Zhao Yue'e shook her head: "It was our owner who ordered you to save you, he plans to let you go to Qiongzhou, be a female master, and teach the girls there to read and write, and many students in your academy are ...... over there."

"No, I'm not going!" The girl suddenly screamed, as if it were the legendary hell.

What did she think, of course Zhao Yue'e understood, and continued when she heard the words: "If you really want to learn this, there is one person who is suitable, that is, I said that strange woman, but right now she is in Jiangbei, leading people to work hard with the Tartars, even if you want to send you over, you have to be able to walk to succeed, tens of thousands of miles, we can't hire another car, understand?" ”

"I'll go, no matter how far away I'm not afraid." The girl grabbed the hem of her dress and nodded without hesitation.

"Nacheng, you can wash your body too, I'm outside, there's no one here, what's the matter with you, just call it."

Zhao Yue'e handed the cotton towel to the girl's hand, stood up and prepared to go out, some things even if they were women, they didn't want people to see them, but her steps didn't move for half a minute, and she was dragged by the girl.

"Please do one thing, the news that I survived, can you not let people know that I am not the only one in my family who is still in this world."

"Don't worry, no one will know." Zhao Yue'e patted her hand: "Our host said that no matter what kind of humiliation, it should be repaid to those who gave it to you, because it is not your fault, revenge for the family, how is it like the revenge of a country, as long as the Tartars exist for one day, such things will still happen, only by killing them, can we save more sisters, you, do it yourself." ”

After speaking, she turned around and walked out, there were already starry lights outside, and there was no human population in sight on the huge ground, and the people she brought were far away and didn't know where to hide, but Zhao Yue'e was very stable in her heart. From the tent behind her, there was a tight howl, a terrible cry that pierced the silence, and only in this way did she understand that the girl who was bent on death had survived, but only God knows what the final result would be.

Qinzhou, which is more than 200 miles away, outside Anyuan County, where the state is located, is not far from the sea, there are countless sea boats moored in Qinzhou Bay, and the people on the shore are lined up in a neat queue, under the protection of the sergeants, one after another, holding packages of different sizes in their hands to help the old and the young walk on the pedal.

Behind the wharf, there was a long row of registration points, each with a table on it, and a group of scribes did not raise their heads to register every citizen who came, and behind several of the tables sat not the little officials in green robes, but the scholars in collared shirts, who were also very serious, until the sky was getting dark, and a row of white lights suddenly turned on.

"It's shift, please wait a moment." A scholar stood up from behind his desk and apologized to explain to the people that the light was the signal, which also meant that they could rest after six hours of continuous work.

After a while, he handed over his register to another man who had come to take over, and took a bowl to a tent where steaming porridge and rice were burning on the fire, and there were several large vats beside him that still had some food, but by this time it was mostly cold.

It's been this hour, how can I take care of so much, the scholar asked people to help him make a bowl of porridge, and went to pick up some dishes, then walked to an open space, looked at the lights on the dock, and was a little distracted.

"Brother Boyi, you are one step faster." The scholar turned around, and a man in the same dress came over with a bowl, and the eyes of the two were tired, but they were still very energetic.

"One thousand one hundred and seventy-three, what about you?"

"One thousand and eighty-four, all blame that guy, his hands and feet are very slow, and he can't shine well for half a day, otherwise he won't lose to you."

The visitor reported the number a little frustrated, but the two of them obviously didn't care about the result, they looked at each other and smiled, and the visitor stood with him, looking at the lights in the distance: "What a spectacle, how the pillar shines, do you understand?" ”

The scholar named Boyi shook his head: "The Great Song Dynasty can produce many people, you and I are just frogs at the bottom of the well, such as the box that can shine the shadow, it must also be from the hands of the palace generals, one day, I will figure it out." ”

"I heard that there are more strange things over there, and I really want to go over and take a look." The eyes of the visitors were full of envy.

"When the people have crossed the sea, it will naturally be our turn, what are you anxious about?"

The scholar was still drinking his porridge for a long time, and this kind of day had lasted for several days, hundreds of people were sent to the ship through their hands, but there were still countless people lined up at the table, they knew that this was only one of the hundreds of registration points, and the entire coast of Guangxi was like this, so they, the students from Jinghu, had to play the role of a temporary scribe, but no one complained.

"Have you thought about what to do after the past?"

"I heard that Fu Shuai is in the Guangxiu Academy opposite, maybe he will hire me to be a master."

"Teaching again?" The person who came showed a dissatisfied look: "Brother Boyi, with your talents, if the imperial court opens a department, you will be able to win the middle, and you have to be a county lord and an observer, no better than being a master." ”

"I don't want to be in the officialdom, teaching and educating people is my father's wish, but I don't know that they are in Tanzhou, but they are still doing well?"

This topic is a bit heavy, the two of them were speechless for a while, the people who came could not say any words of comfort, what kind of charter is the Tartar, they only heard a thing or two from some rumors, the two of them silently ate the porridge and rice in their hands, and they also had a great appetite for the beautiful scenery in front of them.

"Which one is Mr. Ouyang Yunfan?" A voice sounded abruptly from behind, and both of them turned around at the same time, and a sergeant-like figure hurriedly approached.

"Don't dare, it's down there."

The scholar handed the bowl to the man next to him and bowed.

"The news from Jinghu, please go over and tell me."

When the scholar heard this, he hurriedly followed the sergeant, and the man who came took two bowls, thought about it, and followed, needless to say, it must be about his family, and it was also related to his division commander.

They had not gone far, but in a camp on the edge of the county, there were many sergeants busy, and here and there were strange black lines, and at the end of the lines were several large boxes that made a peculiar "roar".

"Chief, the man has arrived." The sergeant led them into a tent full of boxes of all kinds, which looked disorganized, and in the tent stood a man, slightly chubby, who looked like a businessman.

"In Xia Ouyang Yunfan, this is my classmate."

Li Shiyi nodded at them, holding a piece of paper in his hand: "Mr. Boyi, I just received news from Tanzhou, it is about the Lingzun family, you can take a look." ”

Ouyang Yunfan took the piece of paper, took a closer look at the light in the tent, his face suddenly turned pale, and his body was even more shaky, and the man who came with him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, glanced at his hand, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"How so!"

"Our spies were on the top of Yuelu Mountain, and by the time they found out, it was too late, they only found out that it was the Tartars, led by a personal entourage of the chief Ali Hague, who led the most elite cavalry of the Tartars, about 100 people."

Glancing at the other party's expression, Li Shiyi said with a reluctance on his face: "There are more than one hundred and thirty mouths in total, and no one survived, in order to cover up the traces, the Tartars set fire to the academy, so they can't restrain Ling Zun and the others." ”

"Thank you for telling me all this, and I'm going to take my leave."

Ouyang Yunfan gritted his teeth, stretched out his trembling hand and saluted him, and walked out of the camp with the man who came with him, Li Shiyi didn't persuade him to say anything, just shook his head silently.

With the man's support, the two men walked out of the camp and headed for the resting place near the dock, and the other did not speak all the way, which made the man worry until he entered their dwelling, and the man helped him to sit down on the bed, and found that his eyes were blood-red, his hands were made into fists, and his teeth were rattled.

"Boyi, Boyi, don't scare me."

"I'm going to join the army." After a long while, Ouyang Yunfan held back a sentence.

"What?" The man didn't seem to hear clearly.

"I want to join the army!" He raised his head and roared angrily towards the sky, his face was full of hideous color, how could he still have a gentle and elegant scholarly temperament.
