Chapter 66: All the Way South

Reading Wei Feiyu's letter carefully, Huo Lingyu gradually had a plan in his heart.

Fei Yu is really his own intimate person, Huo Lingyu thought so, and began to reply to Wei Fei Yu.

"Concubine Yu Qingqing, see the letter like a meeting. I received the news, and I was overflowing with gratitude......"

After writing the letter, he summoned the secret guard. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the house, casting a dark and unknown shadow for Huo Lingyu.

The bandit tyrants of Jiuhua Mountain have been here for a long time, so it is better to send Wei Xiyue to explore the depths, and when both sides are defeated, they will take advantage of the situation to attack in one fell swoop, and it is also a great achievement to annihilate the bandits in Jiuhua Mountain.

Thinking of this, Huo Lingxiao couldn't help but show an evil smile, and a cold light flashed in the darkness with his white teeth.

A few days later, Huo Lingxiao and Huo Lingshen had already set off, Wei Xiyue did not see them off, and she really couldn't see the scene of parting ways.

On the eve of leaving, Wei Xiyue called Wei Qinghe to the room and carefully instructed various countermeasures, making Wei Qinghe promise himself that no matter what, protecting himself would be the first priority.

When she was traveling, Wei Xiyue held her mother's hand, and even though she understood a thousand truths in her heart, she was still very worried.

"Mother, I have left Xiaohuan, that girl has learned some martial arts, can protect you one or two, if it is really dangerous, then take this waist card, go to the palace to find the queen mother......"

"Okay, okay, Sister Yue'er don't worry, you can go south with peace of mind, my mother and brother will be fine."

Searching her intestines and scraping her stomach, seeing that there was really nothing to instruct, Wei Xiyue reluctantly left.

Alone, she rode out of the city. Looking at Wei Xiyue's back gradually moving away in the morning light, the Liu family was reluctant to take his eyes off for a long time, until Wei Xiyue's figure could no longer be seen, and the Liu family returned to the courtyard with Wei Qinghe.

Wei Xiyue kept running, galloping all the way, from the time of the morning light to the setting sun, seeing that the horses were tired and panting, there happened to be an inn on the side of the road, Wei Xiyue walked straight in.

"Xiao Er, a room with a ground name, how much is your forage here?" Wei Xiyue knows very well that she will not show her wealth, and she is single and unassuming.

Seeing Wei Xiyue's one-armed, Xiao Er was a little surprised, but he didn't say much, only replied: "If you go back to the guest officer, the forage of our Yuelai Inn is all excellent alfalfa and soybeans, and there are three stalls of 10, 7 and 5 respectively, I don't know which one you choose?" ”

Considering that the next journey still requires several days of running, Wei Xiyue did not hesitate to choose the forage with the highest price.

"Okay, guest officer, the number one room is open, please come in." Xiao Er shouted, and watched Wei Xiyue go upstairs.

Seeing Wei Xiyue's figure disappear at the corner of the stairs, Xiao Er changed his face, he looked left and right, and sneaked to the back kitchen.

Touching a miscellaneous person, he whispered, "The person from above is here, tell them to get ready." ”

The man nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but the shopkeeper grabbed him, "By the way, do you see that black horse, prepare something in the forage." ”

"Don't worry, I understand, it's not interesting." After the man was pulled by Xiao Er, he turned around with a hippie smile and rubbed his fingers.

"Can I miss yours?" The shopkeeper smiled ambiguously, took out a few copper plates from his sleeves, and threw them to the man.

got the promise of the shopkeeper, and the man left satisfied.

When Wei Xiyue set off the next day, she saw that the horse seemed to be a little sluggish, and she had some doubts in her heart, but because of the urgency of time, she didn't think much about it, turned over and walked away.

Not long after, Wei Xiyue came to the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, and saw that the road passed through the canyon between the two mountains, she condensed her mind, and the experience of fighting on the battlefield in the past told herself that the terrain here is not simple, and she must be careful.

Entering the canyon, the birds chirped in her ears, and the "rustle" of the wind through the woods sounded from time to time, Wei Xiyue vigilantly reconnoitred the surrounding environment, and was about to quickly beat the horse through.

Halfway through, the sound of the leaves swaying seemed to be mixed with a different sound.

Wei Xiyue condensed her internal force, and for a while, all the movements in this narrow valley were in her ears.

"Da, da, da..." seemed to be interspersed with footsteps. No, someone is coming!

Wei Xiyue drew her knife and galloped forward.

"Stop!" A team of centaurs suddenly appeared in front of Wei Xiyue, "I opened this mountain, I carried this tree, if you want to live from here, stay and buy road money!" ”

Listening to this old-fashioned line, Wei Xiyue sneered, and was about to speak, but the group of people rushed up without saying a word.

Wei Xiyue was caught off guard, and wanted to resist, but her fists were invincible to her four hands, and she was finally tied up by that team.

The man at the head was already salivating at Wei Xiyue's horse, and after tying Wei Xiyue, he couldn't wait to step forward, but he was kicked hard by the horse.

"It's... This! The man was angry in his heart, afraid that the horse would hoof again, and circled the horse for a long time, and he had to let Wei Xiyue lead it away.

When she came to the walled city on the mountain, Wei Xiyue was imprisoned in a firewood room.

The firewood room was empty, and there was nothing. With a thought, she slipped a knife out of her sleeve and slowly cut the rope in her hand.

Wei Xiyue stood up and moved her body, and then sneaked to the main hall.

In the main hall, a banquet was being held, and strangely, there was no one on the main seat, Wei Xiyue followed the root of the wall, and then walked to the room.

Seeing that someone was on the bed, Wei Xiyue flew forward and restrained the person on the bed.

"You... Who are you! ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, why don't we discuss something?"

Forced by his life, the man could not, so he had to agree.

"I have also heard a little about the name of the Jiuhua Mountain Bandit, but when I see it today, you are not as fierce as the rumors, but like a peach blossom paradise, I am the son of the general of the dynasty, if you have any unspeakable addiction, I can help you."

"I... I" the man was hesitant and refused to speak.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Wei Xiyue put down the knife, didn't wait for him to escape, kicked it again, picked up the waist card and shook it in front of his eyes.

Seeing the word "emperor" on the iron hook on the waist card, the man was afraid in his heart, and finally gave birth to An.

After a detailed discussion between the two, Wei Xiyue learned that due to the strict forced labor and taxation of the government, they were not allowed to flee to the mountain, and they did not do anything wrong on weekdays.

Wei Xiyue made a promise that after the drought in the south was over, she would definitely return here to deal with the prefect in person.

The leader nodded again and again, and led everyone in the cottage to send Wei Xiyue down the mountain.

Along the way, the farther south you go, the more miserable the scene becomes. There were starvation all over the land, corpses were all over the field, and even the bark of the trees beside the road was stripped off.

Wei Xiyue remembered this scene in her heart, watching the struggle of the people, her heart almost wanted to bleed.

She rushed all the way south, and on the way she also rescued a child whose parents died, and ten days later, she finally arrived in Qingcheng, where the drought was most severe, and this place was also where Huo Lingxiao was stationed.

Came to Huo Lingxiao's camp non-stop, thinking about how to get in, but saw a guard at the entrance of the camp waving to him, and looked at it, it was Huo Lingxiao's personal guard.

It turned out that Huo Lingxiao had already known the news of Wei Xiyue's arrival, but there were not enough people around him, so he really couldn't send someone to escort Wei Xiyue.

In the past few days, Huo Lingxiao had a headache about disaster relief, and on the other hand, he was worried about Wei Xiyue's safety all the way, and by the way, he had to take care of Huo Lingshen, so busy that he couldn't be divided into two people.

Today, a report came from the city gate, and when he saw a one-armed man entering the city, Huo Lingxiao was busy and sent his personal guards out to pick up Wei Xiyue into the camp.

When she came to the big tent in the center, Wei Xiyue was a little apprehensive in her heart, would she come to hinder Huo Lingxiao's actions? After hesitating, she gritted her teeth and lifted the curtain to enter.

Huo Lingxiao's brows were tightly locked, and he was calculating something at the desk, when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes and saw Wei Xiyue, and the displeasure on his face was even worse.

"I said you should protect yourself, this is what you call protection?"

Wei Xiyue's enthusiasm was poured into this sentence, he came to worry about national affairs, but in his mouth, it seemed that he was making trouble unreasonably.

She also looked cold, and said lightly: "When the national disaster is at hand, the people dare not come." ”

Hearing this, Huo Lingxiao was even more angry in his heart, "You are just a commoner now, the sky is falling and we are still on top, what are you making a fuss about!" ”

Huo Lingxiao's words seemed to erase all the credit of Wei Xiyue's previous achievements, she snorted coldly, rolled up her sleeves, revealing the scar of her broken arm.

"Why? That's it! Since I was a child, my father taught me to have the world in mind, to set up a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, and to open the balance for all generations. ”

Huo Lingxiao heard this impassioned words, and was speechless for a while, and it happened that Huo Lingshen walked in and broke the deadlock in the room.

"Xiyue, you're here, the third brother and I have been waiting for you for many days..."

Huo Lingxiao glared, he swallowed the second half of the sentence, and looked at the third brother and Wei Xiyue at a loss.

"Eh, third brother, don't be angry, Xiyue is also worried about the people here." Huo Lingshen played the round again and again.

Wei Xiyue didn't pay attention to it, and hurriedly saluted Huo Lingshen, then turned around and walked away.

"Hey Xiyue..." Before Huo Lingshen finished speaking, Wei Xiyue had already left, he chased outside the tent, and ordered the guards to prepare a tent for Wei Xiyue, and set it up near the big tent.

Back in the tent, Huo Lingshen sighed: "Third brother, why do you bother. ”

Huo Lingxiao shook his head and said, "You don't understand. ”

Huo Lingshen had indeed never experienced this man's and woman's heart, but after thinking about it, if the Queen Mother came here, he would be shocked and anxious, and he was afraid that he would react like this.

After dealing with this beach of official business, Huo Lingxiao walked to Wei Xi's monthly tent and invited her to walk around the camp together.

The two of them walked in the afterglow of the setting sun and came all the way to the granary of the camp.

Wei Xiyue took a closer look, according to the past experience in the army, the amount of grain and grass was reduced by half!

She looked back at Huo Lingxiao in shock, Huo Lingxiao smiled helplessly, raised her hand and pointed to the sky.

I see! The emperor was so embarrassed that Huo Lingxiao had come to this!

Huo Lingxiao was overwhelmed by the fatigue of the days, and soon fell ill, Huo Lingshen was still young, and in desperation, he had to use Huo Lingshen's identity to deal with disaster relief matters.
