Looking at Zhao Long's appearance, Wang Xu understood, and immediately smiled: "Don't be afraid, this Zhang Xue is not the other Zhang Xue." ”

Wang Xu said a little vaguely, and Zhao Long didn't understand it, but he didn't say anything.

"Oh yes, General Zhao, I came here this time to ask about something, and I hope you will tell me the truth."

After a pause, Wang Xu said suddenly.

Zhao Long came back to his senses and nodded again and again: "Your Majesty, please speak, Zhao Long knows everything." ”

Wang Xu said: "Do you know about the Snowy County? ”

Speaking of Snowy County, Zhao Long said: "What Your Majesty is referring to, but the drought? ”

"Is there a real drought?"

Wang Xu asked rhetorically, in fact, he originally didn't believe it, because Qin Shuang said that the snow region is in good weather, and there is no need for relief at all, and the snow region is blessed by snow mountains, even if there is a big drought, it will not hurt the people.

However, what Wang Xu didn't expect was that there was a drought!

Zhao Long said: "It's been two or three years, there has been no rain in Xueyu County, the sun is scorching all day long, and it only became warm at the beginning, but day after day, year after year, the snow-capped mountains have collapsed, the people have been displaced, and the disaster is worrying." ”

"There's such a thing!"

Wang Xu didn't dare to imagine that in just a few years, Xueyu County would become like that.

"It seems that I will arrive in Snowy County sooner, if the disaster is not controlled, how many people will have to die."

"Your Majesty don't worry, Meng Jianjun is building houses for the victims almost every day, so there won't be too many casualties."

Zhao Long heard this and said.

Wang Xu thought about it, and then looked at Zhang Xue, according to the current situation, Zhang Xue is obviously not suitable to move forward, the environment of Xueyu County is so bad, and Zhang Xue is about to give birth, if there is any problem, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Xue'er, you can wait for me now General Zhao. There are no snowy mountains in Snowy County anymore, and you can't see snow when you go. ”

Wang Xu said.

As soon as she said that there was no snow scene, Zhang Xue had no interest, and she was also a little tired from running around for days. Therefore, as soon as Wang Xu mentioned it, she nodded very obediently.

"Uh-huh, then I'll live here with General Zhao."

...........

After the discussion was settled, the next morning. Wang Xu took Zhang Meng and the others to continue to move forward and go to the snowy region.

Because of the pause in Zhao Long's place for a day, Lei Yan, who was in the county seat of Hexi County, had already received the news and knew that Wang Xu was here, Lei Yan didn't dare to slack off, if he didn't know, forget it, since he knew, he would definitely go to escort him.

Zhao Long ordered a thousand tiger troops and went out of the city for thirty miles to greet them. Officials at all levels in Hexi County lined up, and their pomp and circumstance were very huge.

However, Wang Xu was not very interested in these, and after passing through the crowd, he came directly to the county guard's mansion.

Lei Yan followed closely, and after bringing it to the county guard's mansion, he asked, "Your Majesty, why did you come here?" ”

Lei Yan's question was the same as Zhao Long a few days ago, and Wang Xu said it again according to the script, including the matter of Xueyu County mentioned. Speaking of that, Lei Yan didn't know very well, and he knew the same situation as Zhao Long, only knowing that there was indeed a drought. As for why Qin Shuang lied, whether there was any hidden meaning in this is unknown.

Wang Xu was helpless, judging from the current situation, if he wanted to understand the whole picture of the matter, he had to go to the snowy region to find Qin Shuanghou and ask clearly.

"Wait." Suddenly. Lei Yan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this Qin Shuang is so abnormal, isn't it..." ”

"You're trying to say he has a different heart?"

Wang Xu blurted out and said what Lei Yan didn't finish saying directly.

Lei Yan nodded, that's exactly what he thought in his heart.

Wang Xu smiled and shook his head: "I don't believe it, Qin Shuang has been following me for more than ten years, and he has been loyal for more than ten years, how many battles have been fought thanks to him, he will never rebel, and besides, now that my Holy Dynasty is so strong, he has no reason to rebel." ”

Indeed, if anyone leaves the Holy Dynasty at such a time, it is really stupid, and he can't be more stupid, he doesn't want the glory and wealth in his hands, he has to follow those small forces to work hard, as long as he is a smart person, he can think about this account clearly.

"Your Majesty, you don't know your heart, you can't hurt people, but you can't have the heart to defend people...."

"Alright, don't talk about it." Wang Xu waved his hand: "Now that things are not clear, if I suspect my subordinates at will, wouldn't it make my brothers feel cold?" ”

"After all, after so many years, I believe that even if Qin Shuang is reversed, he will not do anything to me." Wang Xu got up: "I'm going to take a look at what's going on." ”

Lei Yan said: "Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, and the last general will no longer persuade you, I will go and mobilize 20,000 elite soldiers and enter the snowy region with Your Majesty." ”

"No, what's the matter with you?"

Wang Xu said: "All the soldiers and horses stay in place, and tomorrow I will only take Zhang Meng and the eight Royal Forest Army to go." ”

.........

The next day.

Wang Xu, Zhang Meng and the others continued to advance, leaving the county seat and passing through Xiping Pass into the snowy county.

As soon as he came here, Wang Xu's first feeling was that the disaster was very serious, and all the way through, the Central Plains was peaceful, but here, displaced people could be seen everywhere, and when he looked up, there was no so-called snow-capped mountains, all of them had melted.

It's autumn, but it's very hot, hotter than summer.

"There is no snow in Snowy County, is it still called Snowland?"

Wang Xu sighed helplessly: "I think it will be changed to Chijun in the future." ”

"Your Majesty, what is Chijun?"

On the side, Zhang Meng asked.

Wang Xu said: "The red fire can be extended to heat here, so it is called Chijun, which is more appropriate than the snow region." ”

"Hehe, this is only temporary, when the disaster is under control, everything will be fine," Zhang Meng said.

Wang Xu shook his head: "The disaster can be controlled, but what is the use of this year's drought." ”

Taking off one of his clothes and handing it to the Imperial Forest Army behind him, Wang Xu dismounted and walked to the avenue in front of him, where more than a dozen refugees were walking forward at this moment, and the direction of the road was Hexi County.

"Big brother, where are you going?"

Wang Xu pulled a ragged old man, the old man glanced at Wang Xu, and saw that Wang Xu was extraordinary and dressed gorgeously, so he knew that he was a big man, but these had nothing to do with him, Wang Xu asked, and the old man replied: "We can't live here, we can only go to Hexi County." ”

"Hexi County, can you get by?"

Wang Xu asked; He remembered very well that a few years ago, he personally ordered that all residents of Xueyu County were not allowed to cross Xiping Pass, although the disaster was serious now, but Wang Xu imagined that the Xiping Pass guards would never dare to disobey the order.

"If you can't get by, you have to go."

The old man shook his head: "Forget it, I won't tell you, I'm going to hurry." ”

After saying that, the old man left and continued to walk forward.

.......

Five days later.

Qin Shuang military camp.

"General, a bunch of people from outside the camp said they wanted to see you." (To be continued.) )
