Zhuo Ao made an agreement with the two saints, and returned to Zhao Gongming and others with the loss of vitality, and the war seemed to have returned to the original point, and the masters of both sides withdrew, and then it became a game between Jiang Ziya and Wen Zhong, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi stayed in the army, and Wen Zhong also had Huang Tianhua, Zhang Guifang, and the four generals of the Demon Family to help, plus Han Shizhong, who had to stay in the Xiqi camp for the time being, and the two sides basically maintained a balanced situation on the surface.

Xiqi City, at the moment has been covered by a silvery white world, in such a cold season, coupled with the tight war ahead, the streets are very deserted, even if people occasionally appear, they are in a hurry, and only outside some teahouses and restaurants, you can feel a trace of popularity.

"Auntie, why has the price of meat risen by another percent?" At the bazaar, Zhou Ling, who is Daji, asked the woman whose face was red from the cold.

"Hey, Miss Zhou, you are too polite, my Huzi's illness can only be cured by you, if I take your money, then the old woman and I have to be resented to death by my little son, you can take these meats." The honest woman put the meat in her pouch and forced it into Daji's hand.

"That's not what it meant." Daji put a few copper shells in the woman's hand and said, "It's just that the price of this meat is getting more and more expensive, isn't everyone's life more difficult?" ”

"Who's to say it's not." An aunt next to her put her hands in her sleeves and sighed: "Not only meat, but also the price of grain, this year because of the war, many fields are barren, no one farms, this harvest is naturally not good, but the war also consumes grain, so that now the food is getting tighter and tighter, this winter, I don't know how many people will starve to death?" ”

"Are there a lot of people who are hungry?" Daji looked at the few vendors in the bazaar suspiciously.

"Alas~"

Answering her was a few soft sighs, Da Ji carried the food, and walked in the direction of the Wuwang Mansion, not long after she entered the Wuwang Mansion, Ji Fa went out with the army, and their sisters naturally had no chance to go further.

Occasionally, the people who walked by smiled and greeted her, with a kind of respect in their eyes, if it was in the court, appearing in front of people as Daji, it would never happen.

Daji can't say the reason, but the time she came to Xiqi was the most comfortable period since she entered human society, there was no deceit, no countless intrigues, and no need to deliberately harm others.

What needs to be paid is just a heart, a very simple thing, but it can get everyone's respect, not the kind of respect for power, but a kind of respect from the heart, which is a situation that is absolutely impossible to occur in the court, and the irony is that it is from the same person who causes this completely different result.

The howling cold wind carried a bone-chilling chill and an indescribable depression, even Daji, who rarely cared about the outside world, could feel a part of the city and depression in this cold, and she naturally knew that the root cause of this depression must be related to the front-line war.

Although under Zhuo Ao's admonition, she will never ask about military politics, but recently, both inside and outside the palace, they have been talking about this topic, as long as their ears are not deaf, it is not difficult to know these news, not to mention, she is still in charge of purchasing, and she often walks around outside the mansion.

The battle on the front line is not going well, and one defeat after another is almost the most discussed topic in Xiqi City recently.

At this moment, Daji can understand why Zhuo Ao asked her to collect intelligence in the first place, but did not let her do some spy work, but just let her continue to establish her own image.

Here, her name is Zhou Ling, no longer the demon concubine of the cholera country, but the embodiment of compassion and kindness in the minds of the people.

Except for some topics on how to establish an image, Zhuo Ao rarely asked her to do other things, and she and Ximei were almost in a free-range state, if it weren't for the fact that she came over not long ago to input a human emperor qi to help them hide their demonic energy, Da Ji almost thought that Zhuo Ao had given up on her.

In this Xiqi City, she knew that there must be people arranged by Zhuo Ao, maybe it was those people who greeted her with a kind face, maybe a guard, or even an official, but Da Ji didn't know what the true identity of any of them was, at least, in this regard, Zhuo Ao was on guard against her, which made her feel a little unhappy.

Thinking about the mess, people have come to the gate of the palace.

A guard commander took the initiative to step forward, took the bag in her hand, and said with a smile: "The girl went to the street today, did you meet Aunt Xin who sells hollow cabbage?" ”

A very common inquiry, but it made Daji's heart beat a little faster involuntarily, this is the code that Zhuo Ao agreed with her at the beginning, and one day, when someone asks such a sentence, it means that the task that Zhuo Ao gave her has arrived.

Daji looked at the person in front of him carefully, he was not a brilliant character, except for a suit of armor that gave him a bit of heroism, he definitely belonged to the kind that he couldn't recognize when thrown into the crowd, so that Daji had to admire Zhuo Ao's vision in selecting people, such a person is indeed very suitable for the job of undercover.

At the same time, Daji was also secretly in a state of mind, and Zhuo Ao had unknowingly spread his tentacles here.

"Aunt Xin didn't meet it, but she met Aunt Qi, she said that in her water spinach, there is a heart, it's really funny and tight, how can the water spinach have a heart?" Daji replied quietly.

"Oh." A look of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the commander of the guards, and he suddenly thought of something, took out a few copper shells from his arms, carefully wrapped them in a piece of animal skin and handed it to her: "Miss Zhou, you often walk around the market, I don't know if the next time you meet Aunt Xin, can you transfer this money to her on my behalf?" ”

"No problem." Daji smiled and took the copper shell wrapped in animal skin, nodded in agreement, and walked into the palace as if nothing happened, and the bag was sent to the kitchen by the commander of the guards.

After going to the princess to explain, Daji walked around the house again before returning to her room with Ximei, who was meditating and practicing qi, and Daji came back and hurriedly greeted her.

"Sister, is it true that your face is not too good?" Ximei looked at Daji suspiciously, and said with concern.

Daji did not speak, but took out a package of animal skins from his bosom, shook out the copper shells in it, and spread the animal skin on the table.

"It's ...... He ...... "Ximei looked at the words on the animal skin, her face changed, and she looked at Dajidao.

Daji made a silent gesture and looked at the handwriting on the hide.

Open a warehouse to release grain?

"What do you mean?" Ximei looked at the four big characters on the animal skin, and in addition, after rummaging through the animal skin, she didn't see anything else, and couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't opening a warehouse and releasing grain to help Ji Fa increase popularity?" Is he in the wrong mind? ”

"It's not that simple." Shaking his head, Da Ji already understood some of Zhuo Ao's thoughts, and frowned: "This year's harvest is not good, the price of grain in the city has begun to rise, if the warehouse is opened at this moment to release grain, the front-line army will have no food available." ”

"This faint gentleman is still so insidious! I never dared to fight others head-on, and then played these conspiracies behind my back. Ximei pursed her lips and said with an unhappy face.

"You, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is called Taoluo." Daji nodded with a smile on her eyebrows.

"Sister, I found that since you left Chaoge, you like to talk to him, you can't be moved by your true feelings, right?" Joy and charm looked at Dajidao incredulously.

"I'm just talking about things, asking you to read more books on weekdays, but you don't listen." Daji scolded her with a smile, shook her head and smiled, but in her heart, she unconsciously flashed Zhuo Ao's figure.

"Who's going to read those." Ximei pouted.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run." Daji looked at the animal skin in his hand, and Dai Mei frowned lightly: "His ultimate goal should be to provoke a civil uprising." ”

During this time in Xiqi, she fully realized the potential energy of the people's hearts, Zhuo Ao obviously hoped that through this matter, she would trigger the internal contradictions in Xiqi and break the name of the martial king Ji Fa's benevolence and righteousness.

"Sister, do you really want to help him?" Ximei was surprised.

"Reason, I have already told you, helping him is helping ourselves, now we have gone against Nuwa Niangniang's will, if we don't even have this only ally, we will have no way back at all, you don't think that we can live here for a lifetime, right?" Daji rolled her eyes and glared at Ximei.

At the same time, Chao Ge, Zhuo Ao in the study.

"Your Majesty is really going to use this woman to pry Ji Fa's foundation?" Zhuge Liang sat opposite Zhuo Ao and shook the feather fan in his hand.

"If she can't do it, someone will do it for her." Zhuo Ao landed a chess piece on the chessboard and said with a smile: "That can only prove that she is not qualified to cooperate with us, so she will naturally become an outcast!" ”

"If she can do a good job, it proves that she still has the value of existence." In Zhuge Liang's stunned gaze, this chess piece seemed to be thrown on the chessboard by Zhuo Ao as an outcast, but it was faintly connected to Zhuo Ao's chess path, and the original chaotic situation, because this seemingly abandoned black piece was connected together, and it had the potential to turn defeat into victory.

"Little Xiqi, why bother so much?" Zhuge Liang was puzzled and left behind, now Zhao Yun has captured Chongcheng, and most of the princes of the two hundred towns in the north have surrendered, and the general trend is just like this chess game, which was flipped by Zhuo Ao, and Xiqi was defeated, it is only a matter of time.

"Xiqi?" Zhuo Ao sneered: "I have never taken it into account, but ...... This is just the beginning! (To be continued.) )
