Gathering 2 Section 13
The day after the twelfth day is the day when the little emperor ascends the throne, and the number of soldiers and pedestrians coming and going on the streets has gradually increased. On the street of Nanning City, there are colorful lights everywhere, and red lanterns are hung. But there was not much festive atmosphere, on the contrary, it added a bit of tension. After Li Zhong was caught, he was offered by Wu Ming to eat and drink, and at first he occasionally had some trouble, but seeing that everyone ignored him, he gradually quieted down.
Since Li Zhong was captured by mistake, Hanshui has also quieted down. In the past, there was still small-scale friction between the Jiangnan Navy and the Jiangnan Navy from time to time, but in recent days, it has not been able to shrink. I don't know what I'm thinking about. But Wu Ming knew that the other party was just brewing the next step. However, Li Zhong is in his own hands, the initiative is in his own hands, and the north will find himself sooner or later.
Yang Xiong's injuries are quite serious, and he has been talking nonsense these days, if it was before, Wu Ming would definitely have to be in a hurry, but now there are still a large number of female warriors in the guard battalion. They may be slightly inferior to male warriors in terms of force. But I am much more careful in taking care of people.
"What are you doing in a daze, handing me the towel?" Lei Fei'er wiped the fragrant sweat on her forehead, saw Wu Ming standing beside her in a daze, and said with a little disgust. Wu Ming let out an "ah" and woke up from his contemplation. Hurriedly handed the towel in his hand to Lei Fei'er.
Lei Fei'er took the towel from Wu Ming's hand, then put it on Yang Xiong's forehead and said, "What do you think, the soul is not giving up." Wu Ming was embarrassed, but fortunately, Lei Fei'er asked casually and did not continue to entangle.
After putting on the towel, seeing that Yang Xiong was still talking nonsense, the two were relatively speechless for a while. Lei Fei'er looked at Yang Xiong blankly for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "Lord Yang's injury, I'm afraid it's not so easy to heal." That's how it can be good. ”
Wu Ming was stunned and replied, "How can this be? ”
"He has a knot in his heart, it is so easy to get better, and this disease is all pressed out by himself. Dr. Ye also came to see him yesterday and said that he was in a state of fire and needed to recuperate. ”
Wu Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, Lei Fei'er said it well, Yang Xiong is also a seventh-stage master, and at this level, he has almost reached the point of not being immersed in the cold and heat. In general, that's so easy to get sick. He has the blood feud of the Yang family, and he must be extremely bitter in his heart, but Yang Xiong is introverted, and his joy and anger are not in color, and everyone sees him as if he is nothing. Seeing Li Zhong this time, the obsession in his heart was aroused, and he was seriously injured, and his body couldn't bear it after all, and he fell ill.
At this time, Yang Xiong on the bed muttered again: "Kill ...... Revenge ......" Lei Fei'er sighed again and leaned over to take care of Yang Xiong.
When he came out of Yang Xiong's place, his heart was also heavy. Yang Xiong's personality is somewhat similar to himself, and he carries too many things. If it weren't for Li Zhong's pinch in his own hands, he would have the urge to hand over Li Zhong to Yang Xiong for processing.
Seeing that it was still early, he returned to his residence and led out Nanwang. Wu Ming now has a separate courtyard, and he is used to living alone now, but he does not have a special horse wrestler and groom. After Nanwang's injuries healed, he was chained to the courtyard. The courtyard is not big, Nanwang has been locked up for so many days, and his spirit is not very good, Wu Ming is also a little distressed, and he is ready to take Nanwang out of Nanning City a few more times in the past few days.
Out of the Guards Palace, he turned over and looked south, all the way to the south of the city.
Now the whole city of Nanning is under martial law, among the four gates, only the south gate is opened, and the other three gates are no longer open to business travel. After the Governor's Mansion opened a warehouse for grain relief and cash-for-work relief, there were many fewer refugees in Nanning City. But as Tang Xuan said, the price of food in the city has always been high. Despite measures such as military stockpiling, there are still a large number of refugees in Nanning, most of whom are elderly, weak, women and children. Sitting on both sides of the street one by one, it is even more sad to watch.
Even if it is a military hoard, it needs to have labor at home. The Governor's Mansion has been busy with war recently, and it has to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of the little emperor, and it is estimated that it is also a little overwhelmed. Now that everything else is busy, these refugees can only be put aside for the time being.
There is still a long way to go from the guard camp to the south gate of Nanning. On the way, you will also pass through the center of Nanning City. When Wu Ming rode through the square outside the governor's palace, he saw that the square was crowded with refugees. There are also many refugees who are desperately squeezing inside. Coming out of it, everyone's face was beaming with joy and unfinished. He became curious, turned over and looked south, stopped an old woman, and saluted, "Auntie, what are you doing inside?" Why so many people? ”
The old woman was holding a little boy and was feeding him the steamed buns in her hand. Wen Yan raised his head. When he saw Wu Ming's outfit clearly, his face changed, and he quickly knelt down and said: "My lord, the Governor's Mansion inside is distributing steamed buns, and all refugees in the city, as long as they are registered in the Governor's Palace, everyone can come here every day to receive a steamed bun." ”
Wu Ming was surprised, Zhu Huai has such a good heart? Even if he wants to give relief to the refugees, wouldn't it be better to use the official treasury and boil it into gruel? Such a person with a steamed bun is inevitably a bit of a fuss. Could it be that he wants to win over the hearts and minds of the people? That's impossible, doing this, the benefits are also extremely limited, Zhu Huai is calculating, he will definitely not do this kind of business. He hurriedly picked up the old woman and said, "Thank you, auntie." Then he led Nanwang and squeezed inside.
But now there are a sea of people, surrounded by ragged refugees, Wu Ming can't bear to use violence to forcibly break in, he pulls Nanwang, and there is a crowd to squeeze in.
When he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Zhu Xiaolong shouting, "Master, why are you here?" ”
From the outside, looking inside, the natural black pressure is full of refugees. But Wu Ming was high-headed, and Zhu Xiaolong had already seen Wu Ming from inside, and at this time, he was squeezing out of the crowd with people dressed as martial arts students of the two academies. Zhu Xiaolong was also wearing ordinary courtyard clothes today, his whole body was drenched in sweat, although he was still young, he was tall and a little heroic, and the two academy students behind him were suddenly dwarfed. The three of them walked up to Wu Ming, and Zhu Xiaolong said excitedly: "Master." "Stretch out your hand to pull Wu Ming. The two students behind him hurriedly bowed their heads, bent down and made a big salute, "I've seen Lord Wu." ”
Wu Ming hurriedly helped them up and said, "Don't be polite, what are you doing here?" The two students stood up and looked at each other, looking very cramped, and one of them said, "We, we are handing out steamed buns." ”
Wu Ming frowned, although these two academy students were shorter than Zhu Xiaolong, they should be older than Zhu Xiaolong. Why are you so afraid of life. Zhu Xiaolong grabbed Wu Ming, turned his head and smiled at the two of them: "Ah Yi, Ah Yu, don't be afraid, although the master is famous, he is very kind." Isn't it, master? As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Wu Ming.
Wu Ming suddenly laughed and laughed, there was such a boast. Hurriedly changed the conversation and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Zhu Xiaolong blinked and said with a smile: "Didn't Ah Yi say it, he is making steamed buns." These are all donated by my sister-in-law and I mobilized the students of Nanning to donate, and then prepared to help the victims. ”
Wu Ming let out an "oh" and looked around. The square is now crowded with people, and it is estimated that there are at least several thousand people, and there are many refugees rushing around. Even if it's a steamed bun per person, there are very few things. But now there are at least tens of thousands of refugees in the city, and if they are all here, it is not a small number. No wonder Zhu Xiaolong was tired and sweating, but it was so.
He was looking, but Zhu Xiaolong left Wu Ming and ran to tease Nanwang. Nanwang is a very divine horse, and it has great lethality for a teenager like Zhu Xiaolong, who dreams of being a hero every day. When Wu Ming first returned to Nanning, he went to the guard camp almost every day to look at Nanwang. It's just that Nanwang has a strong temper and doesn't shake off strangers. Zhu Xiaolong was almost kicked over by it several times. But this kid is also a stubborn donkey temper, and he still brings good food to Nanwang every day, and the waiter has to be like an uncle. This time and again, I was actually familiar with this horse king. Now, in addition to still not letting Zhu Xiaolong get on his horse, he is also very familiar with one person and one horse, and Wu Ming can't cry or laugh.
Zhu Xiaolong stroked Nanwang Xiongjun's body and muttered, "Brother Ma, Brother Ma, I don't know if you have any brothers and sisters, if you have, introduce one to me." ”
Wu Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "Even if he has brothers and sisters, he will introduce them to you, you won't be able to bear it." With your little ability, you can't be tamed. ”
Zhu Xiaolong looked disappointed, and muttered, "Alas, it seems that I can only come to accompany you more when this time is over, Brother Ma." ”
He said it very quietly, but Wu Ming heard it, and immediately said, "What, have you been scattering steamed buns recently?" "Zhu Xiaolong has rarely gone to Wu Ming recently, and Wu Ming has been busy himself these days, but he doesn't care much. At this time, I heard him say this, and I came to my senses, so I asked this question.
Zhu Xiaolong's face suddenly darkened, and he lowered his eyes and said, "No, my little brother is seriously ill, and I went a few days ago." The mother is not in good health. In the past few days, my sister-in-law and I have been with my mother when we have time. ”
Although Zhu Xiaolongren is a little reckless, he is loyal. Zhu Huai is as cunning as a fox, and he doesn't know how to tune~ to teach such an excellent family.
He was shocked, remembering when he first met Zhu Yuqing and Zhu Xiaolong last year. Mrs. Zhu already has a big belly. At that time, when Hu Yong was diagnosed as a boy, Zhu Xiaolong was very happy. Unexpectedly, this little guy got sick. Wu Ming's heart also sank, and he was about to speak, when a female voice on the side said: "Xiaolong, what are you talking about, Lord Wu has been annoyed enough recently, what are you still bothering people for?" ”
The sound is like a clear spring, and it sounds extremely comfortable. Wu Ming looked up and saw Zhu Yuqing coming out of the crowd. She was followed by two maids. I was probably still distributing steamed buns just now, and Zhu Yuqing was also drenched in sweat. She only wore an ordinary dress today, which looked more simple and simple, light as water. Zhu Xiaolong stroked Nanwang, then walked over and pouted, "Sister-in-law, I know that you are biased and think about the master in everything." ”
"What?" A faint red cloud climbed up Zhu Yuqing's cheek. She lowered her head and glanced at Wu Ming from the corner of her eye. Wu Ming was also cramped for a while, he had almost deliberately avoided the Governor's Mansion recently, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed to see Zhu Yuqing, but he didn't expect to bump into him today.
