Chapter 84

Chen Chong leaned his back against the back of the gate, his inner clothes were already soaked, and he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Oh my God, I've finally gotten away!" ”

Then, Wei Xing walked out with a war gun and asked cautiously, "Lao Chen, didn't show any flaws, did you?" ”

"Wei Gongzi, don't worry, it's a major matter related to Chen's net worth, and Chen won't drop the chain at this time." Chen Chong replied solemnly.

Wei Xing immediately turned around and said, "Xin'er, you continue to play with Xiaowen and Xiaoya, and your sister-in-law will also go and do her own thing!" ”

Chen Chong's wife has long felt very abnormal in her heart, in the past few days, her mother and son have not been allowed to go out, and even the trivial tasks of buying vegetables have been taken care of by her husband!

At night, at the bedside, she quietly asked her husband many times, but she was perfunctory with a few words.

In the days that followed, she didn't dare to show the slightest abnormality, and tried not to make any actions that could easily cause misunderstanding, although she was always a little uneasy in her heart!

Both of them were very obedient, nodded silently, and went about their own business.

"Lao Chen, sit down! How do food prices compare to previous years? Wei Xing continued to ask with concern.

"Whether it is rice, corn, sorghum, wheat and other grains, the prices have increased by 6 or 70 percent compared with previous years, but the quality of coarse grains sold in grain stores is mostly inferior grains; Grass fucking, sometimes you can't buy it yet! After the autumn harvest, it will naturally fall! Chen Chong's tone was mixed with some dissatisfaction and hatred for the grain store.

Wei Xing smiled and quipped: "Lao Chen, don't complain!" In more than three months, when the autumn harvest arrives, at the current price, if it soars three or four times, you may not be able to buy grain! ”

"Impossible, right?" Chen Chong was a little unconvinced, there had been no similar situation for many years!

Since sixty or seventy years ago, after Cao Cao unified the entire north, there have been few large-scale wars in this area of Liangzhou, although there have been years of drought and little rain, but they have slowly endured the past;

Especially seven years ago, Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Wu and reunified the entire Central Plains, and the entire Central Plains entered an unprecedented period of stability, and Liangzhou did not have a shortage of grain.

In Chen Chong's memory, Liangzhou was quite rich in products, and there was all kinds of prey in the wild, and there was no such situation as Wei Xing said.

"Lao Chen, how long have you not been out of the city, have you seen the situation of the seedlings in the fields outside the city?" Wei Xing touched his nose and asked weirdly.

"What are you doing when you go out of the city to the wilderness, how comfortable it is to stay in the city! Although the city defense army in the county is almost rotten, Lao Chen and I are barely a small person in the city, so I will not go out of the city to find hardships. Chen Chong replied loudly.

Yihe County is different from Xiaofangpan City, it is not in an important geographical location, the city defense army often does not train, and there has been no war for many years, and there is no combat effectiveness!

"Lao Chen, if you want to live a little more nourishing, you better go out of the city and take a look, the drought is beyond your imagination!" After Wei Xing kindly reminded him, he lay on the tatami mat in the courtyard again, squinting his eyes, thinking of ways to alleviate the drought.

Although Chen Chong didn't know whether what Wei Gongzi said was true or false, he was also ready to go out of the city to inspect it in the near future to see if the drought was really as serious as he said.

If this is the case, he needs to prepare well in advance to prevent the two children from starving, which will affect their growth and development.

At this time, the sound of the door sounded again, and the eyes of the two immediately collided together, and they both had doubts in their hearts, who is this? Today's uninvited guests are a little too frequent!

Chen Chong quickly adjusted his mentality, turned around and asked loudly, "Who knocked on the door?" ”

After a while, someone asked outside the door, "Are the two of Wei Gongzi living here?" ”

Wei Xing immediately stood up, grabbed the war gun on the side, and glanced at Chen Chong, ready to burst out at any time!

"Who are you?" Chen Chong gently pulled out his big knife and didn't respond, but asked very calmly.

"The shepherds by the golden lake!" The man outside the door immediately responded.

Wei Xing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his nervous mood calmed down a lot, and said to Chen Chong: "It should be my subordinates, I'll open the door!" ”

But Chen Chong did not relax at all, he didn't know if Wei Gongzi would still keep what he said and leave Yihe County quietly without harming his family.

"Is it Uncle Huyan?" Wei Xing asked in a low voice through the door.

"It's me, Childe!" This time, Huyan Leopard changed back to his original tone.

Hearing the familiar voice again, Wei Xing was very excited, and immediately opened the door and let the six of them in!

Chen Chong returned to the room very interestingly, and Wei Xing asked anxiously, "Uncle Huyan, how is your final situation?" ”

"There were a dozen brothers who suffered minor arrow wounds, and luckily, no one died in battle!" Huyan Leopard reported.

Hearing that no brother died in battle, Wei Xing felt a lot better, and this incident was completely his personal matter.

"Although the city defense army of Pancheng is an elite army, but there has been no war for many years, the reaction and combat effectiveness have inevitably slackened, our three-shot crossbow bow is considered to have hit them by surprise, and there will be no such good luck next time!" Huyan Leopard glanced at Gongzi and explained meaningfully.

Wei Xing was already a little guilty in his heart, and he sensitively heard the complaint in Uncle Huyan's words, and said with some embarrassment: "There will be no next time!" ”

Huyan Leopard continued: "Just this time, we almost got through the sky, the troops in the western part of Liangzhou have moved, and additional manpower has been sent to each checkpoint; If I wasn't very familiar with the search and reconnaissance methods of the imperial army, it was very likely that I would have been traced by the masters in the army, and the use of crossbows and crossbows was too sensitive!"

For a woman who has only met once, let more than 20 old comrades-in-arms risk such life and death, Huyan Leopard felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Next, Wei Xing carefully analyzed the drought situation in Liangzhou this year for Huyan Leopard, and the big plan in his heart!

After listening to Gongzi's big plan, Huyan Leopard's breathing rate increased a lot, and he said loudly with great excitement: "Heaven wishes Wei Shi also!" ”

Although Chen Chong was in his room, he paid great attention to the situation in the courtyard, and then heard Huyan Leopard's last sentence and couldn't help but raise his voice, and guessed uneasily: "Do they want to revive the rivers and mountains of the Great Wei?" ”

Hearing Wei Xing's rebellious arguments from time to time, Chen Chong couldn't help but think of the Wei dynasty that was overthrown by the Sima clan more than ten years ago!

In fact, Chen Chong is crooked!

"No, I have sons, daughters and wives, and I must not get involved in rebellion, that is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans!" Chen Chong said secretly in his heart.

"Childe, I'll send someone to secretly break out of the gate, and at the same time send a message to the Zhenhu Dart Bureau in Yangguan to increase the intensity of private purchase of population!" Huyan Leopard didn't want to stay here for a moment, if this big plan succeeded, there would be at least some hope for the revival of the Cao Wei regime!

"The Zhenhu Dart Bureau is not implicated, is it?" Wei Xing then remembered and asked uneasily.

"Childe, don't worry, there is no sign of being implicated in the Zhenhu Dart Bureau, I don't know what's going on, the people in the government don't seem to know that we are from outside the Guan!" Huyan Leopard replied with some confusion.

It turned out that when the news of the city defense army being killed by three consecutive crossbows and bows spread, the bustard mother of Heaven Pavilion was quite shocked in her heart, and immediately ordered some people who knew Wei Xing's identity to leak the news, afraid that he would find an opportunity to take bloody revenge in the future!

As one of the spy leaders of Western Xianbei, Que'er didn't know why, and he didn't let his subordinates deliberately leak it out.

"Whether the people in the government know our origin or not, we must be cautious!" Wei Xing instructed.

"Childe, leave you five brothers, I'll go out of the city first, you just wait for my good news!" Huyan Leopard didn't eat lunch, so he went back in a hurry and began to implement the big plan in Gongzi's mouth.
