Chapter 464: The Siege 1
Bai Suzhen has been cultivating for many years, although there is not much time in the world, but for so many years, there is no shortage of wars in this world, Xu Xuan is telling the truth, the time and place are favorable, this Suzhou City has not been occupied, and the city should be broken sooner or later, but now Xu Xuan's appearance, how can she tell the truth? The left and right are just the scholarly spirit of their own officials, and when the city is really broken, it is a big deal that their own officials are taken out of the city. Thinking of this, Bai Suzhen comforted Xu Xuan softly, "Officials, don't think so much, there are so many officials in the city, if the city is broken, they are afraid that their lives will be worried, and the troublesome things are those who are tall, and the officials only care about treating the sick and saving people." ”
Xu Xuanming knew that Bai Suzhen was comforting himself, but now that the situation in the city, how could a little doctor like him put his beak in his mouth? What I can do now, that is, what my wife said, is only to treat the sick and save people. However, thinking of what happened to the people when the city was broken, Xu Xuan couldn't help but sigh, by that time, this Suzhou city was afraid that it would be ten rooms and nine empty.
As he was talking, he only heard a mess on the street outside, Xu Xuan looked back, and saw a team of brave villagers and strong people, following the servants in the yamen, and began to go towards the grain store in the city. ”|
"This Lord Chen has finally come back to his senses and knows to control this people's biological resources," Listening to the shouts of the officials outside, Xu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the yamen has food in his hands, his heart will not panic, as long as the people have a stutter, this Suzhou city can definitely be defended, wait until the reinforcements come!
The sergeant on the street has already taken control of the grain store, but the people around who are waiting to buy rice have not dispersed, only to see a man in front of him, after hesitating for a moment, he said to the leading sergeant, "This military master, now that the city gate is closed, there is nothing to eat at home, but there are still old mothers and young children, please open the net and let me wait to buy some food"
The leading sergeant snorted coldly, "Hmph, now that the city of Suzhou is besieged, if you don't control this grain, I'm afraid that before the Tartars break the city, I'm afraid that the grain will be eaten, so Lord Chen ordered that all grain stores in the city will be controlled by the yamen, and they will not be allowed to buy and sell privately, but the adults will not watch the people in the city starve to death. ”
The people around heard it, and they did talk to each other in a low voice, but it made people wonder, and there were indeed few people who responded, but also, now in this Suzhou city, there are many people who have experienced war or have seen and heard about the siege of the city, everyone has more or less some experience, and there is a part of the food hidden at home. That is, those who died under the cold arrow, how can there be less?
The onlookers saw that they couldn't buy food, and they didn't want to go to the city wall to die, so they scattered in twos and threes, leaving only the man in front, looking at the closed door of the grain store, and then at the empty sack in his hand, remembering the old and young in the family, but he stomped his feet, and said to the leading sergeant, "Alas, military master, I will be a people's husband, will I receive this grain now or wait for the end of work?" ”
At this time, the errand officer who followed behind the sergeant had already found a small notebook, licked the brush, and smiled at the man, "Our Lord Chen is merciful, anyone who promises to participate in the defense of the city will be given a day's food first, and in the future, there will be wages and food at a discount, and I will come back with a discount, No, I have registered your name and address, and you can receive two catties of rice grain when you come to draw a charge."
The man stepped forward, drew the charge in the book, received the grain, and departed dejectedly.
However, when the messenger saw Xu Xuan at the door of the security hall, he hurriedly came over with a smile, and said, "Hello Doctor Xu, when the little one came over, Lord Chen had already instructed that if there was no rice at Doctor Xu's house, he could come to the grain store to get it, as long as he registered it." Want to carry you a bag of rice? ”
Xu Xuan smiled when he heard this, knowing that it was something on the city wall today, and the well-informed official already knew, but he was not very familiar with this errand officer, and because of a certain maid who was troublesome to buy rice every day, he bought hundreds of catties of grain at a time, so he was not in a hurry to buy rice, so he waved his hand, "The family is still enough to eat, but I don't dare to bother you, if there is really no more at home, I will come to you to withdraw it"
Hearing this, the officer nodded, "That's fine, if Lord Xu needs it, just come here and call me to wait."
At this time, a few men from poor families on the corner of the street were hesitantly coming towards the grain store, and when the officer saw this, he first pronounced his guilt to Xu, and then turned to these people and shouted, "You few pickled chaos, where are you sneaking around?" You wait for a few splashes, where is there still money to buy grain and rice, it must be that the pot can't be opened at home now, why don't you come over and draw a charge, and get rice and grain to let the old snacks at home have something! Left and right, but tomorrow to buy some strength, to transport some stones and wood to this city wall, can you use it so scared? ”
When the poor men saw the servants shouting, they were embarrassed to hide, so they came over one by one to sign the book, took the rice and grain, and left.
Bai Suzhen on the side looked at the sky, it was not early, "Official, it's not early, I'll go cook first, and the official will wait for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the house, Xu Xuan looked at the sky, but no, this tossing for a long time, somehow it was going to be dark, and after he was busy all day, he didn't even feel hungry, but now he was said by Bai Suzhen, and his stomach was already screaming.
He shook his head, hung the door panel, leaving only a small door, so that the people who saw the doctor could come in, then turned around and walked towards the back hall, and came to the door of the kitchen, only to see that his wife had poured water into the pot, but the firewood in the kitchen seemed to be a little damp, Bai Suzhen used this fire knife and sickle to lead a few times, but it was not lit, Bai Suzhen was angry, and threw the fire sickle in his hand aside, Xu Xuan looked at Bai Suzhen's frowning brows and looked angry, and couldn't help laughing, and he was going in to help immediately, I saw Bai Suzhen secretly glance around, and pointed to the firewood in the stove with her index finger, only to see a wisp of fire on her finger, which instantly ignited the firewood in the stove. Bai Suzhen clapped her hands proudly and stood up from the fire.
It's just that as soon as she turned around, she saw Xu Xuan standing at the door snickering, a pair of pretty eyes first widened, and then she said angrily, "Official, why don't you speak when you come?" ”
Xu Xuan stepped forward and hugged Bai Suzhen, but he sighed and said softly, "Lady, thank you for your hard work."
Bai Suzhen's thousand-year-old practice, even if her mana is reduced now, she is more deaf and clear-sighted than ordinary martial arts masters, how could she not know that Xu Xuan is coming, but she saw that Xu Xuan was in a depressed mood and deliberately wanted to make Xu Xuan happy.
