Jiang Qinggang walked to the entrance of the north city, looked at the people who lined up to undergo strict inspection before entering the city, and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the soldiers who had just started to run had already assembled a team of almost fifty people by the city gate, holding shining weapons in their hands, and they looked extremely serious under Jiang Qing's sweeping gaze, but what did not match this seriousness was that the soldiers also had a burlap bag tied around their waists, fluttering in the wind around their waists.

Seeing that the soldiers of almost fifty people had finished preparing, Jiang Qing suddenly felt heroic, and opened his throat and said sharply: "Okay! Let's go! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers responded and slowly ran towards the north gate with neat steps.

And the soldiers who had just gone to assemble the team also came over with their horses.

"Your Excellency, please get on board." One of the soldiers smiled and led the horse to Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing didn't seem to be used to riding a horse, and his fat body barely sat on the horse with the support of other soldiers, but the size of the horse was relatively large, but now carrying Jiang Qing also seemed to be a little uneasy and difficult, pacing the ground back and forth with four hooves.

Seeing that Jiang Qing finally got on the horse, the soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief, and also turned over and jumped onto their horses, and then under the leadership of Jiang Qing, a team of more than 50 soldiers who led the front slowly walked towards the north gate of the city.

Outside the north gate of Chengdu is an official road, if Liu Chan is here, he should not be unfamiliar with it, this official road is the official road he passed by when he came back from Hanzhong that day.

It's autumn, it's harvest season, and the dense fields on both sides of the road are already paved with layers of corn straw.

"It seems that the villagers have already finished harvesting the grain, so it just so happens that I will not be able to collect it." Jiang Qing sat on the horse, squinting his small eyes greedily at the surrounding yellow, orange and orange crops.

At this time, the soldier next to him rode up to Jiang Qing and said respectfully: "My lord, which village are we going to collect grain today?" ”

Jiang Qing sat on the horse and led the reins of the horse, raised his head lightly, looked at the rows of thatched huts in front of him, and said casually: "Just go ahead!" ”

The soldier sitting on the horse took the opportunity to look at what Jiang Qing saw, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, didn't we just receive that village the day before yesterday?" ”

Jiang Qing glared at the soldiers in front of him dissatisfied, and said lightly: "When I came the day before yesterday, I saw that this crop was confiscated, and now I don't accept who they collect." ”

After Jiang Qing's explanation, the soldier grinned, hurriedly sat on the horse and bent down to compliment: "Yes, yes, it's still an adult who is observant!" Wise adults! ”

"Humph!" Jiang Qing seemed to feel that the IQ of the soldier in front of him was not at the same level, or he didn't like the compliment of this soldier, so he snorted lightly, continued to squint his eyes, and rode leisurely to lead everyone to the village where the grain had just been collected two days ago.

It is a small village, just about 20 households, the thatched huts of the village are distributed in a semi-fan shape, and in the middle of the village is a smooth flat land, and some villagers are drying their grain on this smooth flat land.

Jiang Qing took this team to collect grain, and as soon as he came to the entrance of the village, he saw the villagers who were drying grain, and he was overjoyed!

Seeing a group of officers and soldiers coming, the villagers who were drying grain also looked over in horror, and were stunned with puzzled faces.

At this time, there was a young tiger-headed boy in the crowd of villagers, who hurriedly threw down the farm tools in his hand and hurriedly ran into the village.

After a while, the tiger-headed young man who threw away his farm tools and ran into the village walked slowly over with an old man with a wrinkled face, and the old man looked like the village chief.

The wrinkled old man was much more solemn than the tiger-headed young man who was supporting him shirtless, dressed in a neat patched robe, looking at Jiang Qing who was sitting on a horse and wearing a brocade robe, the old man was also a person who had seen the world, and hurriedly came over to salute.

"I don't know if the official is here, the old man has missed the distance, I hope you will forgive me!" The old man who came over politely saluted Jiang Qing, who was sitting on the horse.

Jiang Qing looked at this old man in tattered clothes, but he didn't expect to be polite, glanced at the old man in front of the horse contemptuously and said, "Don't drag the text with me, let me ask you, are you the head of this village?" ”

"Yes, the old man is the village chief of the village, I don't know what happened to the official here?" The old man stared at Jiang Qing with somewhat dim eyes and looked blankly at Jiang Qing on the horse.

At this time, the old man saw Jiang Qing's smiling eyes like poisonous snakes, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Before the old man could react, he heard a series of cold and sharp voices popping out from between Jiang Qing's teeth, "It's easy to do it with the village chief, go and inform the people in the village, put all the grain at the entrance of the village, we are here to collect the grain!" ”

"Ahh The old man felt a pain in his heart, and said tremblingly: "Official, official, didn't you just receive grain a few days ago?" ”

"Humph!" Jiang Qing glanced at the old man with disdain, "Then let me ask you, if you eat today or tomorrow, this is because our Majesty collected grain to resist the thieves in Nanzhong, do you still want to resist the decree!" ”

"This, this!!" The old man was suddenly choked by Jiang Qing's words, and he trembled for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Jiang Qing looked at the old man's embarrassed appearance, and a burst of heroism rose in his heart, and he turned his head and shouted to the soldier with a burlap bag behind him: "Don't be stunned, go and help the fellow villagers collect grain!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers behind him received the order, holding a cold weapon in one hand and a burlap bag in the other, and rushed into the village in an orderly manner.

At this moment the shrill cries of children, the screams of women, and the screams of men were heard in the village.

A sharp voice was intertwined with the cold roar of the soldier into a chaotic movement, and Jiang Qing squinted his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

The village, which was already small, naturally did not have much food to harvest, and after a while, more than a dozen soldiers had filled burlap bags, and the two of them ran towards the entrance of the village.

The soldiers who came running with the grain were full of excitement and asked Jiang Qing for credit: "Lord Qiqi, the grain in the village has been harvested, but there are more than a dozen bags!" It looks like this year is a good year! Hey, hey, hey. ”

"That's it?" Jiang Qing looked at the dozen bags of grain in front of him and was still a little dissatisfied, "Go find it for me again!" ”

The soldiers were also stunned by Jiang Qing's words, but Jiang Qing was an official, they were soldiers, and they didn't dare to be vague when they heard Jiang Qing's words, so they immediately put down the bag full of grain and ran towards the village again.

"My lord! This is the life-saving ration of our village! Adults can't take it away! The old man looked at the soldiers carrying the other party's food, and his wrinkled face was full of horror.

Jiang Qing didn't even look at the old man, he was already sitting on the horse, squinting and listening to the sharp music coming from the village.

At this moment, a group of soldiers finally came over with two more bags full of food.

At this time, the face of the tiger-headed young man beside the old man also changed, and he pulled the old man and exclaimed: "Grandpa, that's our growing grain, even planting grain for them, how can we farm the land?" ”

"Ahh The old man was even more frightened, looking at the grain brought by the soldiers, and rushed forward desperately, "Master Jun! You can't take this away! It's a seed! ”

The soldiers naturally knew that this was a seed, but this was also food, and the adults in front of them had already given the order, so they naturally couldn't be soft.

"Get out of here!"

Looking at the old man who pounced, a soldier directly kicked the old man in the chest, and the heavy kick made the old man take a few steps back one after another, and squatted on the ground next to him, coughing heavily.

"Humph!"

Looking at the old man who fell to the ground, Jiang Qing just snorted coldly, "The old guy who doesn't know the current affairs, let's go!" ”

After Jiang Qing finished speaking, he ignored the villagers, and took these dozens of bags of grain to turn the horse's head and the soldiers and walked towards Chengdu City.

"Grandpa! Grandfather! ”

The tiger-headed young man looked at the old man who was sitting on the ground and kept coughing, and roared anxiously, the old man's eyes were already red at this time, looking at the grains of corn that were accidentally scattered on the ground, and tears flowed down the wrinkled old face.

The trembling and withered old hand carefully picked up the plump grains of millet on the land, and his lips trembled and he muttered to himself, "Emperor, faint king!" Faint! ”
