Early the next morning, Bai Mengtan sent Zilan to pretend to be the local people of Su Khan, blend in with the crowd, and go to Jishantang to find out.

When Zilan returned from Jishantang, she brought the white porridge and steamed buns there back to the post station.

Bai Mengtan looked at the food on the table, the food was not inappropriate with what they usually eat, and she wondered why, there were many more people begging for porridge on the Jishan Hall side than on the post station.

There is also Jishantang as a restaurant, An Changli said that it should be profitable, but this Suhan City has nothing but the people who can't eat and the outrageously high prices.

Who would risk knowing that they would lose money, and be kind here. Even if the owner of Jishantang is really a great benevolent person, it is impossible to show mercy year after year, right?

What did Bai Mengtan think, how did he feel that something was wrong.

At this time, after his mental state was fully recovered, Huo Xiang also came to the post station, as a magistrate here, if he hadn't been ill yesterday, he would not have missed the opportunity to serve the people.

"The third princess is reasonable, and the lower officials also came to see if they can do something for the people." Huo Xiang saw it, and Bai Mengtan said.

"Huo Zhizhou is polite." Bai Mengtan glanced at it, the people around him, it was early in the morning, and there were not many people who came here to beg for porridge.

Naturally, no one will come to notice the situation here.

Bai Mengtan hurriedly asked Huo Xiang to get up and admonished.

"Huo Zhizhou, you can call me next time, the third lady is fine, after all, this is Su Khan, not the capital of Qi, and I don't want too many people of Su Khan to know their identity."

Huo Xiang understood, and hurriedly apologized, "It's the lower officials who didn't think about it." ”

He also only knows that when he sees the princess, he will perform the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, but he forgets that in some cases, it is better to be obscure.

After all, the status of the third princess is noble, and Su Khan is located at the junction of the Northern Qi and Liao Kingdoms.

If the Liao State spies discovered the identity of the third princess, let those who have a heart succeed.

If the three princesses are used to blackmail the Northern Qi Kingdom in turn, then several heads of his Huo family will be lost, and it will not be enough to compensate Bai Mengtan for his life.

Bai Mengtan saw Huo Xiang at this time, and suddenly remembered something.

laughed and said, "Huo Zhizhou, how did I forget about you." ”

Seeing Bai Mengtan inexplicably, he laughed.

Huo Xiang was confused for a while, wondering if he had said the wrong thing.

But I didn't dare to ask more.

Bai Mengtan smiled a few times and then withdrew his smile, and asked, "Huo Zhizhou, do you know who the owner of this Jishantang Restaurant is, and how long has Su Khan been giving porridge and kindness?" ”

Huo Xiang looked at it, and the people who came here at the gate of the post station and begged for porridge seemed to understand something.

The princesses all showed up and came out to give porridge to everyone in person, but the enthusiasm of these people was not high.

It's inevitable that no one will be able to hang on face.

Huo Xiang said slowly, "This Jishan Hall is the place where Su Khan came in the past year." Although the boss is a native of Liao, he is kind and charitable, first once a month to give porridge, and then every half a month, and now he is giving every day. ”

Someone gave porridge and did good deeds for the people of Su Khan, but Huo Xiang, as a magistrate here, couldn't, because the other party was not from the Northern Qi Kingdom, so drive people away! In his philosophy, as long as it is beneficial to the people, he will not watch the people under his hands starve to death in the wilderness because of the difference in the country.

From Huo Xiang's point of view, Bai Mengtan can understand his difficulties as a local official.

People often say that it is difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be a clean official.

"Huo Zhizhou, I know, you go and get busy with you first."

Xia Yeteng and the others also came back from the secret passage of the water source, Bai Mengtan blinked and saw that Tang Yu seemed to have brought someone back, but that person's whole body was wrapped in black cloth.

Xia Yetou passed by the door of the post station and gave Bai Mengtan a look who was giving porridge.

Bai Mengtan turned around and handed the spoon in his hand to Zhuzhu's hand.

Walk towards the inside of the inn.

Something must have happened, otherwise Natsuyoto's expression wouldn't have been so solemn.

Under Bai Mengluo's care, the post station is not as dilapidated as it was at the beginning, at least there is no problem with living people.

Xu Lingyu received the news from Xia Yeteng in the barracks last night, and rushed back this morning.

Seeing that everyone had come, Xia Yeto untied the black cloth on the person who brought Tang Yu back in front of everyone.

A monster with black lines all over its body, red eyes, and a hideous face appeared in front of everyone.

The man seemed to have completely lost his original consciousness, moving intuitively, and after feeling the breath of the people around him, he opened his mouth and shouted.

The tongue in his mouth has gradually rotted.

The stench was all over his body.

Bai Mengtan was a little, and his frightened body retreated.

The monster in front of him is no longer human.

Xia Yeji instinctively blocked Bai Mengtan behind him, so that she didn't have to be afraid.

With the protection of Shizi's brother, Bai Mengtanjue's eyes are inhuman, and the monster doesn't look so terrifying.

When Hua Ling'er saw this monster for the first time, she was disgusted and didn't want to see him again.

The little guy's face was full of displeasure, grabbing Tang Yu's sleeve and urging him to quickly cover up the monster.

Her funny little appearance caused everyone to laugh, after all, she is still a child, and she wants to do everything according to her own temperament.

Tang Yu touched her little head to soothe, since he had this little black ball by his side, following up, he felt that his cynical nature was about to be completely smoothed out by this little black ball.

But he enjoyed it very much, the feeling of being worshipped, and having Hua Ling'er by his side, he also felt quite impatient.

Bai Mengluo was not afraid of anything, but it was the first time she had seen a monster that looked like a legendary inhuman, and she took the initiative to get closer to see it, Xu Lingyu was worried that she had been following her closely, for fear that there would be something wrong with this monster.

Who the hell is this monster? Why it has become the way it is a question that everyone is concerned about now.

Among all the people present, the person who was most familiar with Su Han was none other than Huo Xiang.

Everyone involuntarily turned their heads to Huo Xiang.

At this time, Huo Xiang was squatting in the corner of the room, trembling, he had always known very little about other things except reading the books of sages.

He had never seen a monster like this before, and he muttered in his heart, this monster must not be a person from Su Khan's city, otherwise how should he be like the people of Su Khan, His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Qi Kingdom.

"Daddy, come and see if this monster is Su Khan's people." Jia Le walked to Huo Xiang's side and called him.

After all, she has been away from Su Khan for many years, and the appearance of the people in the city has changed somewhat over time, and she naturally can't recognize it.

Huo Xiang has a relatively harmonious relationship with the people on weekdays, and from his point of view, whether this monster is Su Khan's people or not, he can naturally tell at a glance.

"Daddy, can you go and see it?" Jiale shouted several times in a row, but Huo Xiang's legs were already weak and he couldn't stand up.

He said timidly, "What if that monster comes and bites me?" ”

Jia Le's face darkened, she knew that her father was timid and very dark, but when she was instigating those corrupt officials, she made a look that she was not afraid of heaven and earth.

"This is about the lives of the people, whether it is important to be afraid of that monster, or the lives of the people of Su Khan are important, I think you should know it in your heart." Gala tried to threaten him with the people.

Huo Xiang always puts the lives of the people first.

He mustered up the courage to stand up, patted his chest and said, "Isn't it a monster?" There's something terrible. ”

But he really walked up to the monster, and when he heard the monster roar, Huo Xiang was stunned.

He shouted, "Help! ”

Immediately hid, behind Jiale's back.

Natsuyoto rolled her eyes at him.

took out a few silver needles and stabbed them directly into the monster's acupoint.

The monster fell silent.

Huo Xiang saw that the monster was not moving, covered his chest, and cautiously walked in front of the monster.

smiled awkwardly at everyone, "Isn't it just a monster?" What's so scary, hehe......"

Jiale turned her head away, feeling embarrassed that her father was so timid.

Huo Xiang shuddered a few times, but what he didn't expect was that his long sleeves were actually inadvertently swept away, and a few silver needles of the monster were seen to move, and his mouth was approaching his erection.

Everyone's eyes widened, looking at Huo Xiang who was getting carried away in front of them, but fortunately, Xia Yeteng's eyes were quick, and he used the silver needle to stop the monster again.

Huo Xiang was almost frightened half to death by the sudden silver needle, and as soon as he turned around, he had a close contact with the monster, and immediately sat down on the ground in fright.

But when he came to his senses, the shoes on the monster's feet caught his attention.

This person, he knows the street and alley, the son of Aunt Sun's family, and Aunt Sun once gave him a pair of shoes that are exactly the same as this monster. Because Aunt Sun has an eye disease, the sewn shoes and threads are basically exposed, which makes Huo Xiang very impressed.

Some time ago, he went to visit Aunt Sun, and Aunt Sun happily told him that her son had found a job outside. At that time, he was busy looking for other affairs and digging wells to get water, so he did not pay much attention.

I didn't expect it to become like this, how should he explain to Aunt Sun.

"He's ...... Aunt Sun's family, Dabao. Huo Xiang said it.

Knowing that this monster was Su Khan's people, everyone's hearts instantly lifted.

"Ah, there are bugs."

Suddenly came outside the door, and Zhuzhu screamed.

Bai Mengtan and others rushed in.

I saw the white porridge and buns that Zilan brought back from Jishan Hall, and several black earthworm-like insects crawled out of them, which was disgusting to look at.

The insects ran like the corners of the eaves, and when they smelled the scent of a human being, they made a slight sound, as if someone was laughing, and squirmed and jumped directly onto people's skin.

Sanshi drew his sword and led the soldiers to slash down at the insects.

Upstairs, Natsuyoto and others also joined the team of cutting and killing insects.

After a few moments, everyone looked at the ground in a mess, the corpses of bugs.

Natsuya Vine put the only one he caught, a living black worm, into a glass bottle.

"What kind of bug is this? It's disgusting to watch. Hua Ling'er took a closer look, and said to Tang Yu with a wrinkled face.

"This is a Gu worm, it should have been transmitted from the Western Regions." There was a time when Xia Yeteng was very interested in the Gu worms that had spread to the Central Plains from the Western Regions.

Let his subordinates bring some back from the Western Regions, hesitate to have no host relationship, and the larvae he raised are still not grown up.
