Decayed, dilapidated, desolate, dead and silent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

All the words that contain despair can describe the land in front of Huangfu Mu.

Chongyang County.

It is the place where the Emperor Fu Mu served this time.

Liangzhou is barren, and he has already been mentally prepared for this appointment as Huangfu Mu, but when he saw all this in front of him, he found that he still thought a little better.

At this time, it is far away from the desert, but because of the long-term lack of rain, the plants here are very scarce, and some are just the endless desolate Gobi.

This is a forbidden area for life, where plants, animals, and even rice and millet that people need every day are difficult to survive and grow.

Of course, there are some exceptions, such as the potato seeds in the hands of the emperor.

This time he went to Chongyang County, and Huangfu Mu's biggest reliance was not Chu Yan, who was promoted to a first-class general, but the small seeds in his backpack.

Here, money doesn't seem to matter.

On the contrary, horses, weapons, and food are the prerequisites that determine whether a power is strong or not.

As long as he survives the initial difficulties, Huangfu Mu can exchange the high-yield potatoes for everything he needs.

It's just that I can get through this difficult time?

Potatoes also need to be sown, ploughing the land, fertilizing, this all need someone to work, before coming here, Huangfu Mu and Li Yuanxi have a preliminary plan, they plan to gather the strength of the whole county to sow potatoes, in order to accumulate food in the shortest possible time, for emergencies.

But right now, this place is barren and scarce, and it is clear that it has entered Chongyang County, but few people will come up to talk to Huangfu Mu.

On the contrary, the eyes of the people here were full of vigilance, and everyone was hiding in rags and secretly watching their group, and from their eyes, the emperor saw depression and decadence.

Is this your own turf?

Huangfu Mu's brows furrowed slightly, and his heart became inexplicably irritable.

To some extent, these people are considered invalids, and the long-term suffering has made them lose their yearning for life.

Zombie.

That's right, seeing these people, Huangfu Mu suddenly thought of this word.

"My lord, the county government is in front." The Pathfinder Guardian had returned, and at this time, he reported the situation to the Imperial Priest in a low voice.

"Let's go!"

Huangfu Mu waved his arm and said with a gloomy face.

Hearing the instruction, everyone waited strictly and got on their horses and walked in the direction of the county government.

County office.

Long-term exposure to the sun and wind and rain washed away, so that the plaque above the county government has long been dilapidated, at this time, the plaque is hung obliquely on the door beam, completely unable to show the majesty of this place.

The room in the county office is even more dilapidated, and even the roof of the hall used for the trial is broken with a big hole.

Perhaps, it was also glorious here.

But now, it has become the worst slum.

The Emperor knew that if he wanted to develop this place, it would be difficult.

"Childe, except for the old man in the corner, there is no one in the house." Wu Feng, who went in to search, walked out and carefully reported the situation to Huangfu Mu.

"The old man? Bring him here. For this, Huangfu Mu no longer had any expectations, and said in a somewhat lost tone.

Wu Feng nodded and walked in.

Soon, a thin old man walked out. Different from the other people that Huangfu Mu encountered, although the clothes of the old man in front of him were full of patches, at least they were neat and clean, but the clothes may have been cleaned for a long time, and the previous color no longer existed, and the rest was only a miserable gray.

The old man looked like he was in his early sixties, his expression was tired, as if he had just woken up, his eyes were a little cloudy, at this time, he wiped his cheeks, and when he saw the people in front of him, his face changed, and his tone trembled and explained: "Your lords are a step late, and the last bit of valuable goods in this yain yesterday was also taken away. ”

Although the old man lowered his head and continued to flatter, there was still no resentment or grief on his face.

It was as if he had become accustomed to this groveling scene.

"Treat me like a robber?" Huangfu Mu glanced at the old man with slanted eyes, but did not speak.

However, the guard on the side got off his horse and said in a displeased tone: "Who is making a disrespectful speech, this adult in front of you is the new county commander of this county, open your eyes and see, we are not horse thieves and robbers!" ”

"Prefectural order?"

The old man was startled, and looked forward, only to find that although these people in front of him looked a little stronger, they were also dressed appropriately, not like the robbers who robbed the houses around.

The old man changed his previous flattery, stepped forward, and asked the guards on the side with some mystery: "County order?" Is there anything to eat? ”

"You!" This unrelated sentence made the guard a little annoyed, and he was about to reprimand him when he was stopped by the emperor.

"Give him something to eat." Huangfu Mu said lightly.

Although the guard was annoyed in his heart, the emperor ordered him not to disobey, and then took out his own rations and threw them into the hands of the old man.

"Bun! Great stuff! ”

Seeing the food, the old man's eyes seemed to glow green, and in the next second, he didn't care if there was anyone around him, and he swallowed it directly.

It is hard to imagine that the old man has such a large amount of food, after the storm, the old man has eaten enough dry food for the guard, he touched his stomach, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Sitting on the horse, the emperor was not in a hurry, but quietly looked at the old man.

After a full burp, the old man looked up at Huangfu Mu and his party, and said, "I have eaten the food, I said everyone, don't wait, it's not dark yet, let's hurry." ”

"I said you old man, can't you find a fight?!" No one expected the old man to say such a sentence, and the guard who handed the food before was even more furious, you know, he is not a man who believes in good women, but a complete mountain bandit.

The guard's face was red, and he took a few steps forward and said, "Do you know who we are? How dare you tease us! ”

The old man who mistook Huangfu Mu for a robber groveled and looked flattering, and now, when he learned that Huangfu Mu was the new county magistrate, the old man changed his normal state, pointed to the county government behind him, and said: "I know, county magistrate." ”

"Then you ......" The defender argued, his face changed slightly, and he wanted to refute the other party, but the old man waved his hand and blocked the words back.

The old man smiled, walked up to the guard, and said: "There have been four county orders in the past ten years, most of them are young heroes of your age, who want to be some young heroes who want to defend their families and defend the country and protect a place, but then? One was killed by horse thieves, one starved to death, one went mad, and the worst of all, was broken into the house by a group of evil and crazy villagers, and the wife and daughter were all cooked and eaten. ”

Saying this, the curvature of the old man's mouth became more and more inclined, he took a step forward, put it to the guard's ear, and whispered: "It's okay if you don't go, you say, how are you going to die?" ”

Hiss!

The guard gasped, the sun was shining brightly at this time, but he was as if he was in a cold cellar, his whole body was cold, and even his skin had a layer of small goosebumps.

The guard took two steps back unconsciously, he had never heard of such a case even though he was a mountain bandit.

Cooking alive?

The guard's face darkened slightly, and he only felt that his abdomen was rolling, and a wave of nausea came from his throat.

Huangfu Mu's face was also a little ugly, but he knew that the current era was extremely chaotic, and the allusion of feeding on people was not unusual, and even Liu Bei, who would be called the emperor's uncle in the future, had not used people as meat dishes for soldiers to eat?

Turning the wrench on his hand, Huangfu Mu opened his mouth and asked, "Are the people here very short of food?" ”

The old man looked up, only to see a handsome young man on the horse, the young man looked delicate, his eyebrows were ripe, but he did not look old, the pride in his bones gave people a different kind of pressure, his deep eyes were like two bottomless abysses, and his whole body exuded a kind of calmness that was not as calm as he should have at his age.

Magistrate?

The old man was not curious about the identity of the other party at all, on the contrary, he smiled miserably and said: "Horse thieves robbed, bandits stolen, foreign thieves, what Chongyang County can have, what it doesn't have, all of them have been robbed, to tell you the truth, in just ten days, more than 30 people have died here, all of them have been starved to death." ”

A word shook a thousand waves.

Huangfu Mu's brows finally wrinkled slightly, the situation here was even worse than he imagined.

The old man walked under the Huangfu herding horse, looked up at the young county magistrate, and said in a low voice: "It's easy to feed me alone, but there are one hundred and thirty-seven people in this county, what do you feed?" Listen to me, whether you are able to learn, whether you are ambitious, life is the most important, where you came from and where you are going, here, it is not for you. ”

After that, the old man turned around, his back was a little stiff, and he muttered to himself in a low voice: "Where to go back and forth, this is not a good place to bury people." ”

The old man lowered his head, his back may have been straight in the past, but at this moment, after being tortured by life for a long time, he finally gave up his previous pride, and at this time, he slowly walked towards the county office, to the forbidden place where he had buried all his years.

"Kill the horse!"

A soft sigh, but like thunder, suddenly sounded in the ears of the old man.

The old man subconsciously turned around, only to see that the young county magistrate had dismounted, and he looked at himself, his eyes becoming deeper and deeper.

"Kill the horse!"

The second sound sounded, and the old man was finally sure that he had heard correctly.

War horses are precious, and they are even more rare combat weapons on the Gobi Desert, at this moment, not to mention the guards on the side, even Wu Feng is a little puzzled, not that he does not obey the orders of the emperor and the pastor, but that he does not understand what the other party means by doing this.

Seeing that everyone did not move, Huangfu Mu took down the Longquan sword and handed it to Chu Yan, and said in a cold voice: "Kill the horse!" ”

Holding the Longquan sword, Chu Yan bowed his head and signaled, then walked to a war horse, raised the sword in his hand, and the huge horse's head fell with a bang.

In an instant, blood gushed like a spring, and the rich smell of blood filled every corner of this place.

"Kill again!" Huangfu Mu was expressionless and continued.

Chu Yan, who was covered in blood, did not hesitate, and immediately walked to the side of Ling's war horse, waving his hand and dropping his sword.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Huangfu Mu said three times in a row, Chu Yan continued to kill three horses in a row, at this time, the horse's blood has gathered into a small stream, flowing under the feet of everyone, in addition to being stunned, everyone is more weird and cold.

Among them, the most significant changes are the elderly.

Although Huangfu Mu said plainly, there was no thunder in his ears, five kills in a row, the old man was dumbfounded, his hands couldn't help but clench into a fist, and his face was a little rare flush.

Ignoring everyone's thoughts, the emperor stepped forward, and his foot fell, stained with a piece of blood, but even so, he did not dodge or dodge, and walked on the blood.

Walking to the old man's side, the emperor stopped, he looked at the dilapidated plaque, and then at the decay in the hall, and finally said: "In the future, you don't have to starve. ”

There were only nine words, but the old man was shocked, he raised his head and couldn't help but look at the young county magistrate, but his eyes became more and more hazy, he waved his hand and wiped it, but the more he wiped it, the more he smeared, the more he couldn't see through the figure of the young man in front of him.

The sun is down.

The old man had already burst into tears.

At this moment, he cried like a child.

At this moment, as if he had witnessed his wife and daughter being cooked five years ago, he cried lowly, crying, liver and intestines...... Inch off.
