Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 118 The Year of the Natural Disaster

The anxious mood disappeared the moment he saw Jiang Shenyu appear, and there was an indescribable feeling spreading in his heart.

In such a warm scene, everyone else present walked away with amusement, leaving only the two people hugging each other under the lantern in front of the door.

"Changsha, am I really willing to marry me?" Jiang Shenyu asked in disbelief while being pleasantly surprised.

"Naturally! But can you give me a moment? I will eventually return to Chu and drive out those jackals in Beimeng! At that time, I will marry you in style! ”

Jiang Shenyu nodded happily, since Xu Xiang fell into the water on the night of the wedding, she had noticed the estrangement between the two. Even if Xu Xiang treated her as well as ever, she didn't let her find the intimacy she used to have.

Now after getting Xu Xiang's affirmative answer, she is finally relieved, and she can feel the sincerity of Xu Xiang's words.

"Shen Yu, I've thought about it, don't you want to help me do something? I'll give you something. Xu Xiang said again.

"Really?"

Xu Xiang nodded, Jiang Shenyu has been idle since he came to Ningdu, and it is inevitable that he will think a little about it. Therefore, Xu Xiang felt that it was better to let her do something so that she would not be cranky.

And Jiang Shenyu herself is a very smart woman, but in front of him, her IQ has dropped several notches in a row, maybe this is the damn ...... Love leads to it.

After returning to the house, Xu Xiang sat quietly in the main seat, and Qing'er knelt on the ground.

"You ordered the medicine in the chicken soup?" Xu Xiang looked at Qing'er coldly and asked.

Qing'er lowered her head in some fear, and this expression said it all.

"Tell me about you? What bad idea did you give to the young lady? Xu Xiang said with some tears and laughter.

"Young Master...... Qing'er knows it's wrong! Don't dare next time! ”

"And next time?" Yang Dianfeng on the side couldn't help but speak, and said a little angrily: "Do you know that the young master was almost killed by you!" ”

"I ......"

"Changsha, this matter is my fault, I can't blame Qing'er entirely." Jiang Shenyu gently pushed Xu Xiang and pleaded for Qing'er.

"You just have to do your part in the future, don't come up with some bad ideas!" Xu Xiang's heart softened, after all, Qing'er didn't know that she was buying a "fake and shoddy" product, if it was true, then she might have had something to do with Jiang Shenyu.

Qing'er hurriedly said, "Thank you, young master!" Thank you, young master! ”

Last night's incident was very late, and it was almost noon, when Xu Xiang woke up.

He felt a little hungry, so he was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but as soon as he went out, he ran into Jiang Shenyu.

"Changsha, are you awake?" With a sweet smile, she walked over and took his hand.

"Uh......" Xu Xiang instinctively wanted to retract his hand, but he thought that this would make Jiang Shenyu unhappy, so he said: "I'm a little hungry and want to get some food." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Qing'er to order you a bowl of noodles, right?" Jiang Shenyu said as he let go of his hand and walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, I saw her holding a bowl of noodles in front of Xu Xiang, which was an ordinary bowl of clear water noodles with a poached egg on top.

This poached egg is also Xu Xiang taught Qing'er to make, Qing'er has a talent for cooking, and the new dishes he makes can be learned as long as he teaches them once.

Xu Xiang looked at the black poached egg in the bowl, and fell into deep thought, why did Qing'er's fried poached egg look so bad? Could it be that last night's incident scared her? So much so that this omelette is also absent-minded?

"Qing'er is really, it's not good to fry a poached egg!" Xu Xiang smiled and said.

"Eat it! It's not good when it's cold! Jiang Shenyu reminded.

Xu Xiang was also very hungry, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles. As soon as this noodle is in his mouth, he feels that something is not right, these days he has become accustomed to the meals made by Qing'er, and he has eaten the noodles cooked several times every morning, but how is it different this time? Xu Xiang couldn't help but shake his head, he still had palpitations when he saw this girl, and he was a little distracted from doing things.

"How? Is it delicious? Jiang Shenyu asked with a look of expectation in his eyes.

Seeing Jiang Shenyu's eyes, he reacted instantly, where is this made by Qing'er, I'm afraid it was made by Jiang Shenyu, right?

"It's okay!" One thing to say, although I was very surprised by the taste I made with Qing'er, I was barely able to eat it.

A smile appeared on Jiang Shenyu's face, and there were some slight movements of dancing hands, and he didn't see her little joy in his eyes.

"Oh! Shen Yu, didn't I say yesterday that I would leave you with something to do! After eating the noodles, Xu Xiang spoke.

"Well, what do you want me to do?" Jiang Shenyu asked.

"In a few days, the homeless people outside the Pujia Gate will be brought into the city. There are a lot of old people and women among them, and it is not convenient for me and Lao Yang to manage, so I want to leave it to you to manage. What do you think? Xu Xiang said.

"What am I going to do?"

"These homeless people are brought to the city, and if we are supported alone, they will definitely not last long. And if they get used to the demand of not reciprocating, they will become lazy. ”

"I will divide them into three parts, and you will select some people with upper qualifications from among those children, bring them to the house, and teach them to practice martial arts and read. The rest of the adults, except for the old people who can't do things, part of them are handed over to Aunt Wang to deal with the ingredients for fried chicken and barbecue every day; The other part is to go to White Tiger City to help build a commercial street and do some cleaning and other work. ”

"That'....... How many people do I have to pick? Jiang Shenyu asked, although she had no experience in teaching people martial arts, she could try to teach those children the things that Jiang Fu had taught her to practice martial arts in the first place.

"Lao Yang has counted, there are more than 60 people under the age of fifteen, you can just pick half of them."

Now Xu Xiang's manpower, material and financial resources are insufficient, so he can only come step by step.

At this time, Liu Sancai walked in and said, "Young master, someone said that they wanted to look for you, do you see it or not?" ”

"Who is it?" Xu Xiang asked.

"He said his name is Xun Yanzhi, do you know him, young master?" Liu Sancai recalled and said.

"That's Lord Fuling! Hurry up, please! Xu Xiang hurriedly said.

After a while, Xu Xiang saw Xun Yanzhi in the living room.

Since he came to visit Xu Xiang and came alone, Jiang Shenyu was a female dependent, so it was naturally inconvenient to see him.

Seeing that Xun Yanzhi was wearing regular clothes, not official clothes, then it was definitely not official for him to come over. So Xu Xiang arched his hand at him and said, "Why does Lord Xun have time to come to my house today?" Uncle Liu, ask Qing'er to prepare some fried chicken. ”

"Xu Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite! I'm going right away, I'm going right away! ”

"Huh! Lord Xun finally came to my house for a trip, if you don't entertain me well, wouldn't it mean that I, the master, don't know how to be polite? Xu Xiang said with a smile, but added in his heart, "I don't know that you are a glutton, you don't come early or late, but you come over when it's time for dinner, don't you just want to eat?" ”

Although Xun Yanzhi has two sleeves and a clean breeze, he is one of the few Qing officials in Ningdu City. But he was also very interested in food, and Xu Xiang found him when he heard about it.

Although the fried chicken restaurant is open every day, how can he, as a clean official, have so much spare money to buy fried chicken to satisfy his appetite?

"Then Xun will be disrespectful!" Xun Yanzhi said with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency is gracious."

"I came to Xu Gongzi this time because Xun received a message." Xun Yanzhi took out the topic.

"Oh? What's the news? Xu Xiang asked curiously.

"I heard that Xu Gongzi plans to bring the more than 1,000 homeless people outside the Pujia Gate to the city?"

Xu Xiang didn't expect this to be the case, although Xiao Man of the City Patrol Division knew about this matter, but no matter what, if such a large number of people approached the city, it was natural to inform the government office, but Xu Xiang ignored this.

"Is there anything wrong with this? Xu's shop was about to expand, so I recruited two or three hundred people from among the homeless people to help me work. Later, when I thought about it, I simply took their families over, and I couldn't just care about the young people and ignore the life and death of the old and weak, right? ”

Xun Yanzhi shook his head, sighed and said, "There is something wrong with this matter. There is no problem in recruiting two or three hundred people to work for you, but if these thousand or so people are going to be in the city, it will not work. ”

"Oh? Why can't it work? Xu Xiang asked puzzled.

"Does Gongzi Xu know how many homeless people are outside the thirteen gates of Ningdu?" Xun Yanzhi asked.

Xu Xiang thought about it, there were more than 1,000 people in Pujia Gate alone, and in the other city gates, except for Xiao Man, who heard that there were 5,000 people outside Yangyi Gate, he didn't know how many homeless people there were in the other city gates, so he guessed and said: "There are 20,000 people in total?" ”

"There are 200,000 of them!" Xun Yanzhi raised his right hand and made a "two" gesture.

Xu Xiang was taken aback, he thought that outside the other city gates, it should be similar to the homeless people in Pujiamen, but he didn't expect that there were 200,000 outside the entire Ningdu City?

How many people are there in the entire Ningdu City? At full cost, it is only three or four million people, but now there are so many displaced people, I am afraid that something will happen!

"How can there be so many? Why did so many displaced people gather in Ningdu? Xu Xiang asked in surprise, and at the same time thought in his heart: "There are only two months to go into winter, 200,000 displaced people, if you let it go so far, how many people will freeze to death and starve to death when it snows heavily?" ”

"Originally, there were not so many, a month ago, Wuye Kingdom raided Lushui Town, and captured Jinchang and Camellia Oil with lightning speed, when the news reached Ningdu, the King of Zhongshan also reacted quickly, and hurriedly ordered to dispatch the Qingchuan army stationed in Xuanning to resist. But when they arrived at Jinchang and Camellia City, they were already full of corpses and bones. These two cities, together with the town of Lushui, totaled more than 3 million people, most of whom were taken captive, and less than 200,000 people escaped. Xun Yanzhi sighed and said.

"So...... These extra homeless people are the people of Jinchang, Camellia Oil Ercheng and Lushui Town? ”

"Hmmm! It is said that the two cities of Jinchang and Camellia Oil have been full of fire, burning for three days and three nights, and now the two cities are in ruins. There were only three cities between these two cities and Ningdu, and these three cities did not receive these people, but only gave them some food for their stomachs, so that they all came to Ningdu. Now they are all gathered outside the two gates of Xuanwu and Zhenchuan. ”

"Wuye Country's surprise attack on Lushui Town, how could it be so easy? Didn't Zhongshan deploy heavy troops to such an important place as Lushui Town? Xu Xiang asked puzzled.

"Alas...... This is also a coincidence! The army stationed in Lushui Town is changing guards with the army stationed on Yidi's side, but the army of Wuye Country has found an opportunity! ”

Xu Xiang shook his head involuntarily, what about kidding? Coincidental?

There are not so many unexplained coincidences in this world! The so-called coincidences are just the self-consolation of the loser.

Obviously, it was the army of Zhongshan Kingdom that infiltrated the secret spies of Wuye Kingdom, so they got such a secret military operation as the time point of the change of guard.

"That'...... What does this have to do with me? Xu Xiang asked.

"The king of Zhongshan intends to ignore the lives of these 200,000 people and forcibly expel them back to their homeland. Not only these homeless people, but also other homeless people outside the city gate will gather together and send them back to Jinchang and Camellia Oil! At this time, if you take the displaced people back to the city, wouldn't it be against the king of Zhongshan? Therefore, I still advise you to stop worrying about these outcasts! Xun Yanzhi sighed and said.

Xu Xiang's brows furrowed into the word "Sichuan", he didn't expect this Zhongshan King to be so ruthless to his people.

He had already promised those homeless people outside the Pujia Gate to take them back to the city, so naturally he couldn't be untrustworthy, if he really didn't care, then what would these people who had entered the city think in their hearts?

"Lord Xun, isn't there a better way for the King of Zhongshan? Do you have to do it? If the army is allowed to drive the displaced people back to the devastated Second City, I don't know how many people will die on the way! He doesn't care so much about the lives of these people? Xu Xiang still said with great concern.

Xun Yanzhi didn't answer his question directly, but sighed and said, "This year is the year of natural disasters.......
