In the fourth year of Chuping, Xuzhou.

There are no roads in sight on the plains, and there are crowds of displaced people everywhere. They are in rags, carrying the old and supporting the young, and there is only one direction in front of them.

To the south.

I heard that although there are robbers and bandits in the south, they are also more stable than in the north, at least there will be no wars and disasters from time to time. When encountering bandits, they can still hand over money to save their lives.

But if you encounter a military disaster, it is really a ruined family, and there is no place to bury you. After years of war, a large amount of arable land was barren, and there was no harvest and frequent military battles, which further aggravated the famine.

"Mother, I'm hungry." Ah Shi was covered with a sack, her little face was so dirty that she couldn't see the original color of her skin, she held her mother's hand, and called weakly.

"Ashi ...... Daddy has gone looking for food. The mother was also hungry, and she looked blankly at the dark crowd in front of her, trying to find her husband.

Finally, a man struggled to push through the crowd and came against the current. His clothes were torn, revealing his scrawny body. "Lady! Ah! I am back! ”

There was excitement in his tone, and then he lowered his voice and pulled a handful of dirt from his arms. Ah Shi was full of hope, but when he saw this, he raised his nose and almost cried.

The mother leaned down and whispered in her ear: "Don't let them see, look inside." ”

Ah Shi stretched out her little hand and reached into the dirt, her eyes blooming with a strange light, "It's beans." ”

The man said: "Yes, Ah Shi, let's rest for a while, let's roast the beans." ”

"Hmm!"

In the troubled times, she gained a little satisfaction. However, before she could share it with her parents, the war disaster suddenly came.

The horses neighed, the arrows rained down, and Ah Shi's father and mother used their bodies to build a flesh barrier for her.

"Father, mother, why do you overwhelm me......"

In the early morning, Qishi opened his eyes, tears had been sliding down for a long time, soaking the pillow. She settled down, cleared the dividing line between dreams and reality, and found the reason for her breathlessness.

A black cat was lying on her chest, its tail tickling her cheeks from time to time.

"Little bell!" Qi Shi shouted word by word, and the black cat jumped out of bed in shock, first jumped onto the table, and knocked over the pen holder. Then it flew through the pane and into the yard.

Qi Shi laughed, she got up and freshened up, and changed into a moon-white skirt that Little Joe had given her. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Sun Qun, the lord of Jiangdong, has come to Lujiang City again, so there is no curfew and the people are happy.

However, this Mid-Autumn Festival is different from before, the entire Lujiang County is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and most of the soldiers on the streets are Lujiang soldiers. Qi Shi learned through Huanglong's intelligence network that Jiangdong sent troops to Jiangxia in the past few days.

And with Sun Shao, the same verification was obtained. All the members of the Lujiang Shangjia were armed, and each of them issued two pots of arrows, and the blades were re-polished.

The team led by Ma Long also received the same treatment. The sword is dazzling, the people are strong and the horses are strong, and the 100 people in the upper armor of the Lujiang River have exceeded 1,000 people in terms of momentum.

There are various indications that Jiangdong will launch a campaign against Jiangxia on August 16. This is a clear card, because in the territory of Lujiang County, the Jiangdong Army has gathered 30,000 people, with 10,000 sailors, forming a superior force against the Jiangxia Army.

As usual, Qishi came to the Qianchuan warehouse first. Since the last time Lujiang City was disturbed, it has become a forbidden area for Tongque and the Lujiang Army, and no one wants to touch the mold.

"Capture the tiger, are you ready?"

Dressed in military uniform, his weapons were replaced by two waist knives, Wei Baohu patted his chest and said, "Strategist, you can rest assured!" I will be able to control the city gate before Jiangxia City is broken! ”

Qi Shi smiled: "Bring your equipment and let's go." Hua Butterfly is bored in the mountains, and you just go to accompany her. ”

Wei Baohu was overjoyed and said, "I'll go now!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Qi Shi said deliberately, she pointed to the Qingyun soldiers around her, "As the main general, you have to take the lead, go and line up." ”

"Ahh With them? ”

Qi Shi looked at him in surprise and said, "Of course, do you want to raid Jiangxia with Hua Die?" ”

"Forehead......" Wei Baohu had a depressed face, and began to gather the Qingyun soldiers and prepare to enter Dabie Mountain. Hua Die has been in the mountains for more than half a month, and the route is clearly planned, and there is no delay in the opportunity.

After they leave, the Qianchuan warehouse will be completely abandoned, and the Qingyun soldiers will not return to Lujiang City.

Qishi left Qianchuan Lane and walked towards the Taishou Mansion. She still likes the feeling of walking, to see the streets of the city. Not only did she want to map the city, but she also wanted to sketch in the streets and alleys of a thousand years ago, and if the world was peaceful in the future, she would do so.

The main purpose of her coming to Taishou Mansion was to accompany Xiao Qiao, Zhou Xu is now focusing all her energy on crusading against Jiangxia, and after Sun Qun came to Lujiang, he almost always summoned Zhou Xu.

So now Zhou Xu is not in the house, Qishi enters the gate and walks unimpeded. Occasionally, I saw one or two of Zhou Che's servants, but they were all far away from the world.

Qishi knew that if Zhou Che chose to back down, there must be a follow-up. But she didn't have time to care about Zhou Che, and the two of them were in a state of balance.

"Sister, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, do you want to go to the street together at night?" Seeing Xiao Qiao sitting in front of the window in a daze, Qi Shi leaned over.

Xiao Qiao came back to his senses and said, "If Ah Shi wants to go, ask Yun Han to accompany you." I've been feeling tired these days. Qishi said with concern: "Sister, is it that the weather has been cold these days, and you have contracted the wind cold?" ”

"That's not true, Gong Jin hasn't been able to see anyone these days, and I haven't gone out."

Qi Shi said: "Yes, my son-in-law also soaks in the military camp every day, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to see each other." I came today to say goodbye to my sister, and after tomorrow, I will definitely not be in Lujiang. But I'll see you again in the future! ”

Xiao Qiao took a golden hairpin from the dresser and gently inserted it in Qi Shi's hair, "Ah Shi, this gilt jade leaf hairpin has been with me for many years, so I will send you a thought." I know that your plans are very big, how can a Lujiang City satisfy you! She laughed, looked at Qishi with satisfaction, and said: "It's really a beautiful girl, it seems that this jewelry is still beautiful at your age!" ”

Seeing that the golden hairpin was shining in the sun, exquisite and exquisite, Qi Shi's heart moved, and said: "Sister, is this golden hairpin my senior sister also have the same style." ”

Xiao Qiao said: "Yes, my sister's one is slightly different from mine. She took off the golden hairpin from Qi Shi's hair again, and specifically pointed it out to Qi Shi, "Ah Shi, look, this half of the carving on my golden hairpin can just be opposite to my sister's." ”

A painting suddenly appeared in Qi Shi's mind, that is, when she copied the ancient painting before her soul pierced, the woman's hairpin in the painting happened to be a composite of the two golden hairpins of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!
