Chapter 112: The Danger of Xiapi

In the east of the city, the figures overlapped, and after the notice was posted, many hungry and cold people heard the news and flocked to the camp of the Rampage Brigade. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Finally, there was food, and before I arrived at the camp, I could see a large cloud of white smoke blowing in the cold wind, and I smelled a burst of aroma in front of my nose, which immediately made the hungry people swallow their saliva violently, and the steps under their feet were inevitably a little faster, for fear that if they were a little late, they would not be able to eat the hot food that they had been thinking about for a while.

Suddenly, the panicked and noisy footsteps stopped, and at the gate of the camp, two rows of soldiers stood up with long swords in their hands, expressionless, aggressive, with a terrifying murderous aura, far from being comparable to the soldiers of Yangqu City, and even above the rampage brigade, making people shudder, where would they dare to take another half step forward?

After a short time, Xiong Gang's cronies walked out of the camp and said loudly to the people, "There are porridge steamed buns in the camp, if you want to eat them, you need to put the team in order, the yellow-haired ones are first, the women are second, and the men are second." ”

After saying this, seeing that many people Wang Ruomu was standing like that, he couldn't help but stomp his feet, and his voice raised a few points, "Do you want to fill in your stomach anymore, if you want to eat a mouthful of hot soup, don't you quickly do what you said before!" ”

With this roar, the stunned people came back to their senses and wanted to rush into the camp to have a full meal, but they were afraid of the soldiers in bright armor and terrifying momentum, so they had to honestly discharge the team.

When there was a team of about fifty or sixty people, a soldier led them into the camp, and the others saw it, and immediately became anxious, thinking about inserting into the ranks, but seeing a few scoundrels kicked to the ground by the soldiers, they immediately lost the courage to line up.

In the camp, there were several makeshift stoves on the school ground, which could have accommodated thousands of people for drills, and several large cauldrons were set up, and the white porridge was tumbling in the pot, and the rice grains were as full as white jade. On one side of the iron stove, there is also a stove, but on top of it is a wooden board with wet water, and on the wooden board is a fragrant white steamed bun.

Seeing this, the people who had already received the porridge and the steamed buns with warmth naturally thanked them again and again, and then walked to the side, took a few sips, and enjoyed the feeling of the fragrant porridge tumbling in the stomach. Later, perhaps remembering the hard-won food, I immediately took a thin bite of the steamed buns. And those who haven't lined up yet, can only choke on their saliva and look at the few extremely busy beautiful girls in front of them, hoping that they can hurry up and fill their stomachs early.

"There are so many people here, and it goes on like this, but how busy will it be?"

Looking at the crowded school field, Xiao Wu muttered.

Frowning, Liu Xi was silent, he raided the homes of Chen Mogu and others last night, but most of the grain in the granary had been sold to other state capitals, and there were so many people here today, it had exceeded his expectations, and if it went on like this, the food in the city would last for a long time.

It is also unknown when the food for disaster relief will arrive.

Inexplicably, Liu Xi only felt that his shoulders were a little heavier, looking at the people who kept coming, and the canal waves on the side, "Clean up later, you and I will go to Xiapi and Yecheng." ”

Now I can only hope that the situation of these two cities is a little better than that of Yangqu City, and I can ask for some food from them first, so that I can survive the food of the imperial court for disaster relief.

It had been two hours before there was no figure in the camp who continued to come to beg for food, Wu Shuang'er sighed, reached out to wipe the sweat beads off his forehead, and then found that at some point, his arm had been stiff and unconscious.

Rubbing his arms gently, looking back, Wu Shuang'er looked at Qin Yi and Tian Xun'er, the two of them were also sweating and wet their sideburns, and there was a slight look of fatigue between their eyebrows, and they couldn't help but say, "Sister Qin, Sister Xun'er, you rest first, and leave it to Shuang'er to clean up here." ”

Qin still waved his hand and said, "Shuang'er girl, you are also very tired, let the slave family do such chores, and the girl and Sister Xun'er will go back to the house to have a rest." ”

"Don't argue, you all go back to the house and lie down, and I'll leave these rough jobs to me to wait."

Several women were pushing, Liu Xi rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, and took the lead in bringing an iron pot to the well behind the camp, which was very neatly washed.

It took a while to clean up the stove, looking at the tired and panting women, Liu Xi immediately thought of finding some loyal and honest women from the homeless people, otherwise in a few days, the three women would have to be tired and sick.

At this moment, there were many people, because it was not difficult, and Qin, who led him to the order, quickly picked out dozens of women.

These are all women in the city and countryside of Yangqu, loyal and honest, and there is no food at home, so they have to go to the city to escape the famine. The old man of Qincha killed corrupt officials and gave porridge to the people, all of which are great things, and they are very familiar with the job of cooking porridge and steaming steamed buns.

In order to save some food, Liu Xi had to set the soup porridge twice a day, and when he was in the future, he had just explained some words to Xiong Gang, and Liu Xi hurriedly went to Xiapicheng with the waves.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly pray in his heart that the situation in Xiapi and Yecheng could not be so bad, otherwise even if he was exhausted, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid the tragic ending of the people starving to death in the bitter cold.

After a night of running, before the dawn of the morning, he finally arrived at Xiapi City, and in the hurry, Qu Lang suddenly grabbed the reins and pointed to the front and Liu Xidao.

"Childe is not good, there are robbers who have trouble, and they are actually besieging Picheng."

Looking up, the scene in front of him was very similar to what he saw outside Yangqu City. The thick cold air and cold fog did not dissipate, half-covering the old and mottled city wall of Xiapi, where there were more than 1,000 people standing, among them, some were wrapped in animal skin fur clothes, and some were wrapped in tattered clothes, holding swords and spears in their hands, or holding wooden bows and thick arrows, surrounding the city, facing the soldiers at the head of the city.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xi's heart sank suddenly, if it is a mountain bandit, it is not too bad, if the people are forced to rebel, it will be really a big trouble.

Mountain bandits can kill without the slightest hesitation, but the people who rebel for their livelihood cannot easily move to kill, otherwise, if they lose the support of the people, they will lose everything.

At the head of the city, a scribe in a blue cotton robe personally beat a big drum there, and in the midst of the drums, the gate that had been closed slowly opened, and hundreds of soldiers rushed out, the leader of which was holding an eight-foot swallow's mouth long knife, and stood in front of the people besieging the city. ”

With a thunderous roar in his mouth, the man who led the troops slammed the long knife in his hand to the ground, and the tiger's eyes widened angrily, as if the sky had descended from the sky.
