Chapter 684: A Flash of Surprise

Autumn is in full bloom, the clouds float in the sky over the southern plain of Qingguo, and where you pass along the way, you can see the people working in the fields diligently harvesting the wheat in the fields

It's autumn harvest time

The northern part of Qingguo was affected by the disaster this year, and the harvest was very bad, but fortunately, the granary of Qingguo was mainly in the southern region, and the southern plain had plenty of rain and sunshine this year, so the wheat grain in the southern plain, on the whole, grew very well, and there was a piece of gold everywhere

In a large continuous stretch of golden rice paddies on both sides of the official road, the sound of the brushing of the grain cutting converges into one place, forming a beautiful sound that is neat and can give the listener a certain sense of satisfaction

Those □□□ lean peasants, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, showed the small cracks in their bodies that were cut out by the grain leaves to the indifferent heavens, they were all concentrating on harvesting the wheat in the fields, but not many people noticed that above the official road, there was a long line of horses that seemed to be unable to see the tail was slowly coming

……

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom has been out of the capital for half a month

Along the way, all the envoys saw was the scene of rushing to harvest the wheat grain, and the imperial court had already issued a decree ordering all places to speed up the harvest of rice and fill the grain depots

The Weiqing War, the world was in turmoil, the soldiers and people of Qingguo had to eat, and for a long time in the future, Qingguo would need a lot of grain and grass

The degree of return is naturally much faster than when I came

Along the way, I also heard a lot of rumors, some said that Nanyang Pass had been broken by the Wei army a few days ago, the Wei army due to heavy casualties, did not immediately enter the pass to attack, but rested in Nanyang Pass, it seems to be waiting for the logistics to pick up, but there are also rumors that Nanyang Pass has not been breached, although it is already crumbling, but the soldiers of Qingguo are still fighting to the death with the Wei army under the leadership of Lin Chengfei, the tiger thunderbolt, and strictly guard the Nanyang Pass

No matter what kind of rumors it is, the Yan country's mission has accelerated the process of rushing several times

If Nanyang Pass is really broken and the Wei army enters Nanyang County, then the entire Nanyang County will fall into chaos, which will be a great threat to the safety of the Yan State Mission

The red sleeves were not well injured, and although Han Mo didn't want to march in a hurry, considering Cao Yin's safety, he had to order the team to move forward

Half a month's journey, on the whole, is quite smooth, and in two days, you can reach the border of Nanyang County

On this way, Cao Yin still rode on a horse, but Han Mo spent much more time in the carriage than on a horse, and the reason was very simple, Red Sleeves wanted to listen to the story of "brother".

The mission specially equipped a carriage for Red Sleeves, and Red Sleeves' injuries were much better than before, but he still couldn't move violently, so he could only lie in the carriage

She lost too much blood, but Cao Yin took care of it very much, and along the way, she asked someone to make food for Red Sleeves alone at any time, and precious medicinal materials such as ginseng were indispensable to make up for it

Han Mo knew that Cao Yin was for his own sake, and he was also very grateful in his heart, in fact, after Qingguo and his party, Han Mo still appreciated Cao Yin's character very much

Cao Yin seems to be modest, and he doesn't have too many royal shelves, and he treats people gently, although he is wise, he doesn't like to play tricks

Red sleeves was in the carriage, naturally she was bored, she had no impression of what had happened now, and after waking up, under Han Mo's careful care, she also accepted the fact that she had a brother

For her, the happiest thing now is to listen to her "brother" tell her some magical stories by her side, and she still has to listen to stories every day when she leaves Shangjing

Han Mo naturally would not refuse

After half a month along the way, I will go to the carriage every day to tell stories for Red Sleeves several times, "The Legend of the White Snake", "Zhu Xian", "Zichuan", "Tianxian Pei" These stories, tell them eloquently, all of which can immerse Red Sleeves in it

And the expression on Red Sleeves when he listened to the story carefully made Han Mo sigh repeatedly in his heart, the assassin killer who was indifferent in the past was now meek and obedient to listen to his own story, which is really a bit magical

It's just that Han Mo sometimes thinks about how to place the red sleeves when he returns to Yanjing City

Naturally, the West Flower Hall can't go back, since he claims to be his brother, then go back, naturally there must be a proper arrangement

In this way, after another two days, I finally arrived at the realm of Nanyang County

It was only when they arrived at the junction of the two counties that the mission felt a tremendous pressure

At the junction of the two armies, there were actually a lot of soldiers, and countless people of Nanyang gathered at the junction, and were divided into regiments by the soldiers, and then under the arrangement of the government, they entered the neighboring states and counties in batches for resettlement

There was a sea of people, mixed with countless cries, angry scoldings, and shouts, as if the Wei army had captured Nanyang County

The migration of millions of people is not a trivial matter, and the neighboring states and counties can only accept the order of the imperial court, but they dare not let the people of Nanyang rush in, and they have already set up countless checkpoints at the junction to introduce them in an orderly manner

However, the chaotic crowd is always inevitably turbulent, and countless people gathered in the transition area under the scorching sun, and many elderly people were prostrated by the scorching sun and fell to the ground

Han Mo was riding a horse and following Cao Yin at this time, looking at the tragic situation in the distance, his heart was quite gloomy

War is always a common means used by the spires in order to compete for interests, but countless soldiers and ordinary people have to become pawns in this kind of competition for interests

Regardless of victory or defeat, it is always the people of the world who suffer

Now it is only the beginning of the war, and the people are so miserable that if the war is really in full swing, I am afraid that they will face a miserable environment

……

"We want a fair ......" Han Mozheng was gloomy, and suddenly there was an angry roar in his ears, and he followed the prestige, only to see that nearly a hundred ordinary people were gathering not far away, and in front of him were more than a dozen □□□ peasants, and a tall and strong man was yelling at several officials: "Our grain has been handed over to the soldiers, Wancheng has put down his words, when you get here, you will give us food...... But for three or four days in a row, we didn't see a single piece of food, and my mother was already fainting from hunger, and she begged for a little food to save people, is this also wrong?

"It's hot, there's no food, there's not even water, it's all dead...... someone shouted

The rest of the people were shouting and looking confused

A Qingguo official said sharply: "What are you going to do? Gathering a crowd to make trouble? Or do you want to gather a crowd to rebel? ”

"We will have food and water," one of them cried out, "and the last grain of the family has been handed over, and the rulers have said, "We will receive as much grain as we pay, but what about the grain you promised us?" ”

"Without food, how can you let us live?"

The official shouted: "The Wei army invaded, and the soldiers had to eat food to resist the enemy, so there was nothing to say, you asked me for food, who did I ask for food?" Wait first, and the imperial court will soon allocate food......"

"The imperial court allocates grain?" Immediately someone shouted angrily: "When the food arrives, everyone will starve to death?" You have food in your hands, why don't you send it down......"

The official said angrily: "Where is the food, how can you take care of it from your little Diao people?" If you want to make trouble again, it will be to gather a crowd to rebel and take the prison to wait for you to fall."

"It's better to starve to death like this, it's better to go to the prison and eat a few bowls of prison rice," someone complained

The crowd was angry and loud, and this kind of situation was obviously not here, Han Mo saw it from a distance, and there were also such scenes of gathering people to ask for explanations from miles away

Han Mo couldn't help frowning

Millions of people in Nanyang moved to the neighboring counties, the project is huge, dozens of days have passed, the migration is still in progress, there must be many people in Nanyang who are migrating to the neighboring counties, sao chaos, if the Yan delegation passes through Nanyang County at this time, this security is really very problematic

He looked at Cao Yin, but Cao Yin had a calm face, but his eyes flashed, looking at the crowd like a sea, thoughtful

Han Mo knew that Cao Yin saw such a spectacular scene, and he was probably also feeling something, and he was about to speak, when a terrible scream suddenly sounded in his ears, and he followed the reputation, only to see the group of people who were arguing just now, but at this time they were surrounded by dozens of officers and soldiers, and those officers and soldiers were holding leather whips in their hands, just like whipping cattle and horses, and beat the people mercilessly

A few of the civilians tried to resist, but they were stabbed in the legs by the spearmen who followed behind, and they fell to the ground screaming

The people around were full of anger, but there was much terror

At the junction of these two counties, there are not only thousands of people gathered, but also many officers and soldiers wearing weapons in bright armor

"A group of Diao people, are they going to rebel?" The official who was arguing with the people shouted coldly: "Fight me, fight to the death the invasion of the Wei army, and accept you into the country, that is to pity you, stay in Nanyang County, the Wei army is coming, don't want to live any of you...... It's really lawless to make trouble here......"

Seeing this, Han Mo frowned, and a cold look appeared in his eyes

Cao Yin glanced at him, saw Han Mo's thoughts, and said calmly: "Don't chase, it's not ...... etiquette."

This is within the territory of Qingguo, and the members of the Yan State Mission are naturally not allowed to handle the internal affairs of Qingguo

Han Mo sighed helplessly, and was about to give the order to set off, but at this moment, he saw an exclamation not far away, and then saw a black high-headed horse galloping out of the crowd like lightning

Immediately, the passenger was dressed in black, with a graceful figure, and at first glance it was a woman, but she was wearing a hat and covered with black gauze, and she couldn't see her face clearly

Under the gaze of countless people, the horse galloped to the place where the people were beaten, and before everyone had time to come back to their senses, the horse had galloped to the side of the official who was scolding the people, and the soldiers beside the official had not had time to react, the horsewhip in the passenger's hand had reached out, wrapped around the official's neck, the horse did not stop, still galloping, and actually dragged the official out of more than ten meters away, and then the long whip shook, and the official's body first flew into the air, and then fell to the ground like a stone, and was motionless

"Assassin...... There was an Assassin ......" A soldier reacted and shouted loudly

Han Mo and many people in the Yan State Mission also saw this scene, and the passenger was actually under the noses of countless Qingguo officers and soldiers, galloping over and attacking the Qingguo officials, which was really bold

But from the moment this woman appeared to the time she struck, she was as swift as lightning, and her skills were terrifying

The officers and soldiers wanted to surround the woman, but the woman pulled the reins of the horse lightly, and actually turned the direction towards Han Mo's side, and the horse galloped towards Han Mo's side

Han Mo was surprised in his heart, worried that the woman would attack Cao Yin, and galloped to meet him, and the royal forest cavalry had already drawn their swords and stepped forward to protect Cao Yin's surroundings

The officers and soldiers of Qingguo roared, and the chases behind them, along the way, they held knives to meet them, trying to block the horse, but the horse was extremely fast, the woman's equestrian skills were amazing, and the momentum was like a cloud, and in a moment it was not far in front of Han Mo, Han Mo held the handle of the knife, and was stunned, only to see the wind blowing, showing the face under the black veil, the face was beautiful and delicate, but it was Yan Xueji, who could not see the tail of the dragon

Riding on the horse, Yan Xueji smiled at Han Mo Yanran, but the horse did not stop, passing by Han Mo's side, between these staggered, I heard Yan Xueji's voice coming into my ears: "I'll send you" The voice was in her ears, but Yan Xueji had already ridden a horse and rowed by, Han Mo turned his head, only to see that the person and the horse were like the wind, and soon galloped into the crowd without a trace, while the Qingguo officers and soldiers were shouting and chasing after them

It's just that Yan Xueji floated like a cloud, and floated away like the wind, coming and going like the wind, killing officials in an instant, but it made many people applaud in their hearts and was full of gratitude

Looking at the direction in which Yan Xue Ji left, Han Mo smiled helplessly, this woman ...... It's annoying to like
