Cangzhou in the middle of January, but the streets at the moment seem a little lonely.

In the past, the bustling streets of the city should have been filled with lanterns, and people were holding a lively temple fair in the bustling market.

On this day, the most prosperous street in the center of the city is dotted with pedestrians, and the children who usually run around and play on the street are now gone.

"Here...... What's going on? ”

The young man stood in the center of the street, raised his head and took a rough look at the appearance of this street, his brows furrowed slightly, not to mention the carriage here, even the figure could not see a few.

"By the way, why do you have to follow me?" The young man rubbed his forehead and smiled helplessly at the girl beside him.

"I want to play missing alone again, and I don't take this princess in my eyes, right?" Wan Yan Xue tilted her head to the side and snorted coldly: "If I hadn't found out earlier, you Chu Daxia would have to act alone again, right?"

"Come on, Princess." The young man smiled: "I've come to this Central Plains, and I can't let go of the princess's shelf, but I want to affect others!"

“……”

Wan Yanxue couldn't say anything for a while, so she had to purse her lips and snort softly.

The young man just looked at her with a smile and nodded her nose, but Wan Yanxue was angry again: "Hey, hey, hey, kick your nose on your face, right?"

"I like it, can't I?" The young man laughed.

Wan Yanxue snorted again, tilting her head to the side completely, but her face was slightly red.

"Alright, let's go, there's a lot more to do this time."

Looking at the nearby street again, the young man was once again lost in thought.

He vaguely remembers that he lived in Cangzhou for a period of time when he was a child, when his mother brought him to the temple fair to play, and Cangzhou City at that time could be called extremely lively and prosperous.

Where is it like now, the whole city looks lifeless.

Zhao Ji, I'm afraid this is your masterpiece again!

The young man sneered to himself.

Sighing softly, he lifted his legs and walked forward, ready to relive the memories that remained in the city.

"Whew!"

The sound of the wind came from the front at a rapid pace, even bringing the sound of rubbing in the wind.

The young man's eyes shook suddenly, he lay back on his waist, and used a kung fu of the iron plate bridge, and easily avoided the attack.

However, before he could stand up, a man had already grabbed his legs.

"Big villain, you return my father, give me back my father!"

"Uh......"

The young man stood up straight, and while seeing the little boy holding his leg in front of him, he raised his right hand to support his forehead with a wry smile, smiled and said, "Little brother, what is the matter with you, can you let go of your brother first?"

"Who the hell are you!" Wan Yanxue tore the little boy away and shouted in a low voice, "Why are you so uneducated? Whose little one ran out? What should I do if I still throw stones and hit someone? ”

"Come on!"

A young woman rushed out of the corner of the alley, was startled at the sight of the little boy, and immediately pulled him over.

"Didn't my mother tell you not to run around on the street?"

The young woman reprimanded the boy in a low voice: "Hurry back with my mother!"

"No, I'm going to kill these big bad guys!" The little boy gritted his teeth and scolded: "It's these people with swords, they must harm my father and my brother, and I will definitely not let them go!"

With that, the little boy gritted his teeth, broke free from the young woman's grasp, and rushed at the young man with a loud roar.

It's weird.

The young man thought to himself in his heart: "Before I set off, the prince also said that the cities in Hebei are rich, let me develop my eyeliner here, and by the way, spy on some military information, why is this place so bleak now?"

At this time, he couldn't help but think of when he set off ten days ago.

At that time, Wanyan Wushu called him outside the city and instructed some important tasks to go to the Central Plains on this trip.

He still remembered that he had been preparing for a long time in advance, and after hearing Yan Wushu say this, not only was he not nervous, but there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart at that time.

"Jiang Lou, I'll leave this to you, you also know that I have to deal with some conflicts with Uncle Lou and Uncle Lou now, and I can't get away at all."

Wanyan Wushu sighed softly, but said nothing.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry." Chu Jianglou said with a smile: "This time, I will definitely find Miss Cheng and bring her back."

What Chu Jianglou didn't expect was that Wanyan Wushu didn't have any reaction.

He sighed and left.

At this time, Chu Jianglou was a little more puzzled in his heart, at that time, Cheng Wan'er still swore that she agreed to cooperate, why did she leave quietly?

In any case, without her help, Yuxi is a ticking time bomb.

If she is abducted by Dong Ping again, maybe the technology brought by these jade seals will also be affected!

Before he was at the inn on the road, he had heard from the people who walked by the rivers and lakes that Dong Ping, the town of the Great Song Dynasty, did not know what the reason was, and he resigned three days ago and went into hiding, and he did not know where to go.

God knows what tricks that Dong Ping is playing!

At this time, the little boy had already rushed to Chu Jianglou's eyes.

"Ah, you let go of me!"

The little boy saw that he was several feet off the ground in an instant, and immediately struggled violently with his hands and feet, waving in the air non-stop.

At this time, Chu Jianglou could see the specific appearance of this little boy clearly.

The little boy was only about six or seven years old, and his immature face had a maturity much greater than that of his peers, while his body was hungry and skinny, and there was hardly any health in sight.

And his face was filled with a strong look of refusal to admit defeat.

"That, this big sister."

Chu Jianglou looked at the young woman who was about to pounce on her, and just smiled and said, "It's Chu Xuan, a native of Jiangnan, I don't know if you can tell me about the specific situation in the north?"

After speaking, Chu Jianglou took out ten silver carts and some dry food from his sleeve and handed them over.

After the woman saw the food and silver taels in Chu Jianglou's hand, she hesitated for a moment, but took it after thanking her.

Seeing the little boy gobbling up the biscuits, the woman smiled bitterly: "This son, looking at your clothes, you must also be a rich and noble family, you better go back, this is no longer a place for people to stay."

Chu Jianglou frowned, but still said in a low tone: "Eldest sister, please take a step to speak."

The woman also nodded, and led Chu Jianglou forward, bypassing several streets in a row, and came to a dilapidated house under the city wall.

Chu Jianglou looked at the house and the nearby houses, and then at the palatial mansion in the center of the city, and just sneered.

Soon, the two of them had already entered the house, Chu Jianglou walked to the table and sat down, and after a while, the woman had already walked up with a teacup.

After Chu Jianglou thanked him, he took a sip of a cup of tea, looked at the empty room, and suddenly had a trace of doubt in his tone: "This eldest sister, are you alone with a child?"

The woman sighed: "No, this child's life is miserable, since last year, famine and plague began to rage in Hebei, and many people are sick and can't move at all."

"And those official mansions, they don't care at all, I don't know how many people starved to death in the whole world, and they all relied on Lu Yuanwai to relieve the cities of Hebei, but later Lu Yuanwai was killed by the corrupt officials of the Daimyo's Mansion, and he was also in trouble, hey, this world is really sinister."

"The poor husband of the slave family, sick in bed and unable to move, the landlords outside the city have chased after our uncle to the house where our uncle stayed, and together with those who are officials, they want my husband to repay the debt owed by his ancestors, and he must repay ten times that!"

"Slave family...... The husband of the slave family...... He couldn't pay it back...... He was beaten to death by those men...... Woo......"

When the woman had finished speaking, she wiped her sleeve again and sobbed quietly.

For a moment, Chu Jianglou was also silent.

"Sister, don't be sad." Chu Jianglou said in a serious tone: "No matter what, you still have such a smart and sensible son with you."

"Yes, sister." Wan Yanxue comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be sad, we will help you."

Chu Jianglou: "...... (Did I say anything?) Why do you want to help again??? )”

"Brother Chu, I was wrong before." The little boy lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "I misunderstood you, I didn't expect that brother, you are a big hero who helped us."

"It's okay, little brother." Chu Jianglou touched his head with a smile, and then asked, "Sister, I don't know why this corrupt official wants to do something to you?"

The woman sighed softly: "Our homestead was taken by the official, and he said that he wanted our land, but my husband naturally disagreed, and wanted to keep this ancestral inheritance, who would want to end up like this!"

With that, the woman lowered her head again and began to cry uncontrollably.

Obviously, Chu Jianglou can see that this woman has been through too much.

"Big sister, little brother, stop dwelling on the pain of the past." Chu Jianglou looked at the faces of the two, and there was a hint of resoluteness in his calm tone.

"I will help you get back your suffering."

Chu Jianglou stood up, his hands behind his back, and his eyes gradually sank.

"Tell me, what's the name of the person who led the day that day?"

At the same time, Qingzhou, the top floor of Tianzun Building.

Hundreds of migrant laborers are working around the clock to repair the roof and the decoration of the penthouse hall, and they must wipe out all traces of the massive conflict of three days ago before the imperial court finds any traces.

Wen Huanzhang stood in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at the progress above, but his heart was a little chaotic.

Wen Huanyan on the side looked at his brother's appearance, and secretly regretted it.

If it wasn't my own reason last time, how could it be in this situation!

"Okay, rejuvenate, it's okay, don't blame yourself."

Wen Huanyan was sobbing in a low voice, but saw that a person had already come to her and handed her a handkerchief.

"Well, I'm fine." Wen Huanyan took the handkerchief and wiped away his tears, smiled and said: "Brother, don't take it to heart, Dong Ping is just a down-and-out person living in the rivers and lakes now, even the 10,000 militiamen he took away last time, we have already paid their weapons and armor in advance and put them in storage and blockade, we still won this time, didn't we?"

Wen Huanzhang frowned slightly, and didn't say anything.

"Brother, are you worried that Dong Ping still had a back hand in Dongping City that day?"

Wen Huanyan lowered his voice and asked: "But that day we received news from General Qin Ming, Zhu Wu withdrew again and again with the soldiers and horses in the city, and was finally surrounded and exterminated by Liangshan Dongshuang's soldiers and horses.

"It's not that simple." Wen Huanzhang said with a gloomy face: "With Dong Ping's way of thinking, he will never and cannot just give up and live in seclusion in the mountains from now on."

Wen Huanyan also frowned slightly, unable to say anything.

"Report, the squire of the Imperial Court Dispatch Department, Wu Yong, a scholar of the Guanwen Palace, is here!"
