609 Beloved
Mingxian Street is not far from Zhongchen Street, where the Princess's Mansion is located, Feng Yan sent the carriage of Duanmu Mansion to the Princess's Mansion first, and he and Duanmu Fei walked back slowly.
Ben Xiao bit the horse rope himself and followed the two of them leisurely.
Today's weather is very comfortable, the sun is warm, and the autumn is crisp, which is a good day to go out and step on the autumn.
The two walked quietly for half a street, the breeze was gentle, sending a faint fragrance, in addition to the fragrance of the sachet, there was also the smell of the incense of the lavender on Feng Yan's body, and the two smells were mixed together and lingered on Duanmu Fei's nose.
Duanmufei's heart was quiet and peaceful, and suddenly there was a warm and rough feeling in the palm of his right hand.
Feng Yan took her little hand.
"Zhenzhen, I...... I'll be on my way as soon as the end of September. β
Today is September 22nd, that is, Feng Yan will soon leave for the south?! Duanmufei's eyes widened slightly, and his steps stopped, a little stunned for a while.
Duanmu Fei felt that his heart was empty, as if a piece of his heart had been taken away, and he was a little ...... A feeling that even she herself could not describe.
Obviously, she had long known that Feng Yan would leave soon, and she had long known that Feng Yan's trip to the southern border was imperative.
She let out a soft "um", shook Feng Yan's hand back, and continued to walk forward.
Feng Yan raised his eyes to look at the clear blue sky and white clouds in front of him, and said: "There are only three cities in the south of Dian Prefecture, and they can be completely recovered." β
Duanmu Fei turned her head to look at Feng Yan's side face in surprise, she still remembered that her grandfather told her a few days ago that most of the southern border had been recovered, the overall situation had been decided, and it should be a matter of time before the Nanhuai people were beaten out of the southern border.
But judging from Feng Yan's words at this time, the southern border has almost been recovered, so why does Feng Yan have to go to the southern border?!
Duanmu Fei thought of something, and the fingers of his right hand subconsciously hooked slightly.
Feng Yan turned his head to look at her, and when he looked at her eyes, he knew that she was as smart as she should have guessed.
He didn't intend to hide it from her, and said bluntly: "I went to the south this time for military power. β
Between the words, another gust of wind blew, and the autumn wind with three or four fallen leaves added a bit of chill.
Duanmu Fei took his hand and continued to walk forward unhurriedly, his heart was open: after Feng Yan gave up the road that had been laid out for eighteen years, he chose to use military power to determine the world.
So, what's nextβ
"I'm going to the south on this trip, and I'll take Nanhuai."
Feng Yanyun said lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, understated, and with a hint of wildness that looked at the world.
As long as he holds the military power and makes great achievements, coupled with his status as the son of Emperor Chongming, these two are enough to deter the people of the world, so as to justifiably ascend the throne of God.
She knew he could. Duanmu Fei held his hand tightly, and the soft palm came from the hot temperature of his palm, and the burning sensation seemed to spread from the palm to her heart, and her heart was soft and warm, as if bathing in a hot spring.
"Ah Yan, you have to come back safely."
Although she was reluctant to let him go, she would not stop him.
As long as he comes back safely, everything will be fine.
Nothing else, it doesn't matter.
"Zhenzhen, I will definitely come back safely!" Feng Yan nodded hurriedly, grinning widely, and the tail behind him flicked wildly.
More than a year to go......
In just over a year they will be married, and of course he will come back safely.
On the day he returned, he wanted to give her the supreme honor, and he wanted the world to know that she was his most beloved.
A mole on the tip of his heart!
Ahead, the concierge of the princess's mansion had already seen Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei coming, and the gate of the princess's mansion quickly opened wide to welcome the arrival of the guests.
Some people are busy welcoming guests, some people are busy going to the eldest princess, and some people are busy telling the kitchen guests that they have arrived......
The originally calm princess's mansion suddenly became lively and jubilant because of the arrival of one person.
This uninformed passer-by thought that there was some happy event in this house.
The vermilion door slammed shut, then opened again in the afternoon.
Duanmu Fei who Feng Yan personally picked up, and personally sent Duanmu Fei back to Duanmu Mansion, Duanmu's carriage was almost useless for heroes, and the empty car went to the princess's mansion and drove back empty.
Anyway, it was still early, so Duanmufei simply asked Feng Yan to come into the house to play.
"Ah Yan, I haven't seen Feipiao for a long time, just let them have fun."
As soon as Duanmu Fei took the lead, he was reluctant to let go, and the smartest, most vigorous and heroic horse was Benxiao!
Duanmu Fei touched Ben Xiao's neck lovingly as he walked, originally wanting the porter to take Ben Xiao to the stable to play with Fei Pian, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind again, thinking about whether to simply go to the hippodrome in the house with Feng Yan to play for a while.
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted anxiously by a slightly shrill female voice:
"Four girls...... Four girls, you're back! β
Mama Zhang greeted her anxiously, followed by wisteria, pothos and groom.
Several of them couldn't hide their anxiety, and they were panicked, Duanmufei rarely saw Mama Zhang like this, and her heart sank.
Mama Zhang was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, "Fourth girl, Changqing just came back to spread the news, a large number of displaced people have poured into Daqing Town, and the eldest girl is giving porridge there......"
Suddenly this kind of big event happened, but Duanmuxian, Duanmufei and several masters in the mansion were all gone, and Wisteria was so anxious that the six gods had no master, so they could only send someone to the household yamen to deliver news to Duanmu Xian.
Not long after the talents sent to the household yamen left the house, Duanmu Fei came back first.
Ma Fu Changqing took a step forward, saluted Duanmu Fei, and his voice was still a little tight, "Four girls, look at the group of homeless people at least forty or fifty people, menacing, they ignored the obstruction of the city gate guards, rushed into the town, broke into the shops near the city gate along the way to grab things, and injured a lot of passers-by, these people looked fierce one by one, and seemed to have some open-minded posture...... I have to send someone to Daqing Town to pick up the eldest girl back. β
"......" Duanmu Fei's pupils shrank in shock, and his face turned slightly pale.
During this period of time, the Cheng'en Mansion in Beijing was giving porridge, acting in a high-profile manner, quite a bit of buying the hearts of the people, Duanmujun was not interested in comparing with the other party, thinking that the people in Beijing were richer than the surrounding towns, so he simply went to some towns around the capital to give porridge and medicine, and this morning Steward Chen took people to Daqing Town to give porridge.
Duanmu Fei's mind was in chaos, his ears were buzzing, his heartbeat was like a drum, and he asked in a panic, "Why did my sister suddenly go to Daqing Town?" β
Since Steward Chen returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, Duanmujun basically handed over the matter of soup porridge to him, and she was only responsible for the overall planning.
Mama Zhang hurriedly replied: "Fourth girl, it was a newly bought rice mixed with a large amount of old rice and sand by profiteers, and the eldest girl was very angry when she heard the news, and went to Daqing Town an hour ago, saying that she wanted to go and see." β
The more Mama Zhang spoke, the more she regretted it, and the more she spoke, the more annoyed she became, "I knew that the slave maid should have taken a trip for the eldest girl." "If this outcasts collide with the big girl, even more, if the big girl has a ...... That's good!
Duanmu clenched his fists, his face turned even paler, and even Sakura's lips were so pale that there was no blood.
Feng Yan took half a step forward, and didn't care about the people around, so he grabbed Duanmufei's hand and said comfortingly: "Zhen Zhen, don't worry, I'll take someone over there to have a look." β
Duanmu Fei didn't want to hold his hand and said, "I'm going too!" β
Intellectually, of course, Duanmufei knew that she would only be a burden, but now she only has Duanmujun's safety in her heart, and she just wants to make sure that she is safe regardless of it......
She never wanted to taste that "feeling" again.
Duanmufei's eyes were bright and dark, sparkling, and she remembered the heartache of the year, the feeling when her grandfather and grandmother told her that her parents had died and her brother's whereabouts were unknown, and that feeling as if she was the only one left alone.
A chill slowly rose from the soles of his feet, spreading to all his limbs.
Sister, she must not be fine!
Zhiduanmu was as scarlet as a sealant, and he didn't need words to know what she was thinking of at the moment, and his heart was also tense with empathy.
He felt sorry for her, he was worried about her...... He would never turn her down.
"Zhen Zhen, you ride to the West City Gate first and wait for me, and I'll bring someone to arrive later." Feng Yan rubbed the top of her soft hair and said gently but firmly.
He bowed his head slightly, eye to eye with hers, less than a foot closer to each other, and there was a calming confidence and strength in his dark eyes.
As if to say, with him, she doesn't need to worry about anything.
Duanmu Fei nodded vigorously, turned his head to the green pothos and ordered, "Go and prepare the horse." Her voice was a little hoarse than usual, and there was a faint tremor in it.
"I'll go first." Feng Yan rubbed the top of her hair again, and led Ben Xiao to take a step forward.
Everyone, including Duanmu Fei, looked at the back of Feng Yan leaving in a daze, and the surroundings fell into silence, only the autumn wind was swaying, and the falling leaves in mid-air added a bit of gloom and coldness to the already solemn atmosphere.
Everyone felt that their hearts were like pressing a heavy boulder, and they couldn't breathe.
When Feng Yan's back disappeared, Mama Zhang withdrew her gaze, looked at Duanmu Fei again, and asked hesitantly, "Fourth girl, do you want to call the guards in the house as well?" β
Duanmu shook his head, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "No need." β
I know my own business, and these guards in the house are just scaring and scaring ordinary people, if these homeless people are extremely vicious, there is no way at all.
Moreover, there is a seal inflammation in.
Feng Yan said that he would lead people, and his people naturally could be trusted.
Thinking of Feng Yan, Duanmu Fei's heart was calm and settled a lot, with Feng Yan here, they would definitely be able to bring their sister back smoothly.
"It's going to be fine...... Duanmu muttered, and he didn't know if he was comforting Mama Zhang and Wisteria, or comforting himself.
It's going to be fine.
It's going to be fine.
She repeated the same sentence to herself for the next stick of incense, until she rode her horse to the west gate, and with her was the groom Changqing, who of course she brought with him so that he could show them the way.
After waiting for a long time, Feng Yan came in a hurry with people, a total of more than 30 people, all equipped with long knives, negative bows and arrows, dressed as guards, and mighty.
"Vera!"
Feng Yan rode his horse to Duanmu Fei's side with a clear goal, and stretched out his hand to her.
Duanmu Fei actually didn't know what he was going to do, and when she saw him stretch out her hand, she subconsciously stretched out her hand as well.
Then, she only felt her right hand tighten, and the sky swirled, and in just a breath, she "flew" from Feipian's body to Benxiao's back and came to his broad arms.
Her breathing was slightly rapid, and before she could settle down, his slightly deep voice came from above her head: "This is ...... Hurry up. β
The heat blew on the top of her hair and on the pinna of her ears with these five words, and her heart trembled slightly.
As soon as Feng Yan clamped the horse's belly, Benxiao took the lead in galloping out, and the guards behind also followed, and the rumbling sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder, which immediately suppressed Duanmu Fei's heartbeat.
Dozens of horses galloped on the wide official road, galloping westward like a gale, the horses' hooves flying, and the yellow sand rolling.
Duanmu Fei was so anxious that he didn't speak all the way.
After driving for a few miles, there were fewer passers-by on the official road, and only their pedestrians remained.
Duanmufei's body fell together with the gallop of Benxiao, Benxiao ran fast, even the oncoming autumn wind became sharp, and when the fallen leaves rubbed on the cheeks, it was faintly painful, but Duanmufei couldn't take care of it, and only hoped that Benxiao could be faster, faster.
Suddenly, Feng Yan's voice sounded above his head again: "That group of homeless people should be from Jinju." β
The wind around him was a little strong, and his words were blown away by the wind.
Duanmu Fei raised her head from his arms, looked at his smooth chin and slightly raised Adam's apple, listened to his slightly muffled voice, and felt the chest behind her vibrate slightly.
"The imperial court sent Wu Yanping, the chief soldier of the Jinmen guard, to Jinzhou to quell the rebellion, several groups of mountain bandits in the south of Jinzhou heard the news and moved first, and the mountain bandits formed an alliance and merged, and they also burned and plundered several towns in the south of Jinzhou together, so that the displaced people fled in all directions, Wu Yanping and Zhang Wenche first arrived in Jinzhou, and they could only suppress the bandits first, and they couldn't take care of these fleeing homeless people for the time being......"
If you want to settle the displaced people, you must have the support of the imperial court and the local government, but now the imperial court is full of holes, and has neither manpower nor material and financial resources; The local government has always been accustomed to reporting good news and not bad news, avoiding the important and trivial, and Wu Yanping and Zhang Wenche have just arrived in Jinzhou, and it is not possible to completely control Jinzhou in a while.
There were some things that Feng Yan didn't say, and Duanmu Fei also understood.
The Jinju Rebellion did not take place overnight, but accumulated over the years, getting worse and worse, and it took more time for them to turn around the chaos in Jinju.
"Zhenzhen, I borrowed someone from my eldest brother, you don't have to worry, someone will arrive later." Feng Yan's soft voice came from above again.
He only said the eldest brother, neither by name nor by name, but Duanmu Fei knew that he was talking about Cen Yin.
And Feng Yan seemed to think that she must know.
Duanmu Fei nodded, and said "um" softly, and his heart was slightly settled.
With Feng Yan's current identity, he can't mobilize a large number of people, but Cen Yin is different.
The sound of whipping around them was mixed with the rumbling hooves of horses.
There were no idlers on the official road, so they galloped faster, and the group drove out of the road for more than ten miles without stopping.
"Ahead, Daqing Town is in front!" Changqing suddenly raised his hand and pointed ahead and shouted, describing his excitement.
Hearing this, the surrounding atmosphere was awe-inspiring, and everyone looked solemn.
Following the direction of Changqing's finger, you can see that there are many ragged and disastrous homeless people around the entrance of the town, some are black, some are squatting, some are standing, some are sitting on the ground, and some are hobbling around the town.
Among these displaced people, there are men, women and children, most of them are women and children, old and young, looking yellow and thin, and their eyes are empty and loose, it is obvious that they are the result of a long period of starvation and long-distance exile, like the walking dead.
Just looking at it from such a distance, it gives me a feeling of sympathy and embarrassment.
Whether it was Duanmufei or the other people accompanying him, they were all ready to fight and did not dare to relax.
According to Changqing's endowment, if a group of homeless people enter the town to rob and hurt people, then they are no longer simple homeless, that group of people has already walked on a tightrope, and they will become bandits at any time.
Duanmu Fei looked half a circle towards the entrance of the town and frowned slightly.
At a glance, there were at least seventy or eighty displaced people gathered at the entrance of the town.
Before, Changqing said in Duanmu Mansion that forty or fifty homeless people had come to the town, and it had only been more than an hour, and there were so many more people.
Moreover, there are so many people surrounding the entrance of the town alone, so how many homeless people are there in the town at this moment?!
The situation in the town was clearly worse than they had known.
The more displaced people, the easier it is to be chaotic, you must know that people have the psychology of conformity, some people dare not commit murder when they are alone, but when other people around them are like this, they will be evil to the side of the guts, and they will feel that others are like this anyway, why can't they ......
Thinking about it, Duanmu Fei's heart became even more anxious, his fists were clenched subconsciously, and his body tensed.
The displaced people gathered at the entrance of the town also heard the movement on the official road, and more and more people looked at Feng Yan and his party, like a stone falling into the lake, causing ripples and commotion.
When those empty eyes saw Duanmu Fei and Feng Yan and their party, there were faint sparks of jumping, just like a group of hungry young beasts seeing food, looking at them eagerly and expectantly.
Seeing that all of them were high-headed horses, descriptive and domineering, these homeless people did not dare to rush forward.
Feng Yan lightly ordered: "Let's go to the town first." β
Six words are an understatement.
The group of guards following him immediately moved, and ten of them sped up their horses and galloped past Feng Yan, taking the lead towards the entrance of the town.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! We're going into town! β
Ten guards shouted at those homeless people while opening the way for Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei in front, the other ten guards protected both sides of Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei in an orderly manner, and the last ten people were behind the rear hall, one by one well-trained and tacitly cooperative.
When the homeless people saw these guards riding tall horses and holding long knives, they were a little frightened and hesitated in place. Suddenly, a thin young man rushed forward and shouted pitifully at Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei on Ben Xiao's body:
"This son, this girl, I haven't eaten for three days, you two are fine, give me something to eat!"
Seeing this, two or three more people in the group of homeless people squatting in the corner also mustered up the courage to stand up, wanting to try to come forward and beg.
There was no need to seal Yan at all, one of the guards on his left directly drew his bow and arrow on the horse, the bow was as full as the moon, and an arrow shot out like a meteor, and with a flash of silver light, an arrow shot at the feet of the thin young man, only an inch away from his right foot.
The tip of the arrow dug deep into the soil, and the feathers of the tail of the arrow trembled with the vibration of the shaft......
As long as this arrow is a little bit higher, his foot will probably be pierced. The thin young man's pupils shrank sharply, as if he was frozen, and he froze in place, not daring to move.
This arrow was full of deterrence, and the other homeless people around were dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and silenced.
The guard who had just shot an arrow collected his bow and shouted, "Whoever dares to stop it again, don't blame our men for being ruthless!" β
People pick up soft persimmons to pinch.
Seeing that these guards were extraordinary, these homeless people no longer dared to come forward to beg, and a few homeless people who had originally gotten up sat back in the corner of the wall and squatted down with weak feet, and some homeless people who were originally watching also took a step back step after step.
In a few moments, a wide passage was made on both sides of the town's entrance.
"Stepping on ......"
Feng Yan and his party rode into the town one after another, leaving only those homeless people still looking at their backs with some fear, and after a short silence, there was a commotion around them.
The town is even more chaotic than the town's mouth.
On the main road at the city gate, there were a lot of baskets, smashed fruits and vegetables, broken utensils, cabinets, etc., and there was a mess.
The doors of the shops on both sides of the street were smashed open, the shops were messy and looted, and some of the injured shopkeepers hid in the shops and cautiously poked their heads out.
From the entrance of the town, the end of the road ahead was empty, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road.
The town looked like it had been ravaged by a flood of beasts, and it was in shambles.
Feng Yan and his party rode forward while looking at the surrounding environment, and they all slowed down their horses.
Changqing looked around, his thick face turned pale with fright, this town looked very different from the last time he left, as if it were a different place.
Changqing raised his hand anxiously and pointed to the front and said: "Fourth girl, Feng Gongzi, there is a City God Temple on Zhangshu Street three streets in front of you, today, Steward Chen arranged for a porridge soup in the open space at the entrance of the City God Temple, and the eldest girl was also there." β
"Changqing, you lead the way ahead!"
After Feng Yan's command, Changqing answered, and then he swung his whip at the horse's buttocks and rode the horse to the front of everyone.
The others rode after him, whistling through the streets.
The guards were all vigilant, and while riding their horses, they kept an eye on their surroundings, for fear that there would be a surprise attack by the homeless, or a hidden arrow would hurt someone.
The streets along the way are almost empty, some shops have been smashed, some shops have closed their doors, and there are not a few people along the way, it is like an empty city, there are no people.
Along the way, I only occasionally saw a few homeless people sitting at the door of the roadside restaurant and dim sum shop, eating the food they had just grabbed like hungry beasts.
Feng Yan and his entourage, under the leadership of Changqing, came to Zhangshu Street unimpeded.
Zhangshu Street is also as scattered as the previous streets.
Changqing took Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei and his party to the outside of the City God Temple on Zhangshu Street, only to see a row of camphor trees outside the temple, full of mess.
There was no one under the tree, the tables, chairs, and stools were lying on the ground, and the pots and pans, porridge and water, and rice grains were scattered all over the ground, and there were still a lot of mud and footprints on the ground, as if it had been robbed by a group of people before.
The messiness of this room made Duanmu's heart tighten, and it seemed that there was a big invisible hand holding her heart in the palm of her hand.
Feng Yan quickly glanced half a circle under the tree, his eyes were shining, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhen Zhen, I see that there are no traces of a fight here, and there is no blood, my sister should have avoided it in advance." β
With Duanmujun's character, he shouldn't be impulsive to confront these homeless people.
Feng Yan's unhurried voice carried a strange soothing power, and every word hit Duanmu Fei's heart.
Duanmu Fei took two deep breaths, calmed down a lot, and lowered her eyes to think: My sister knows that there are homeless people in the town, if she feels that it is not safe outside this temple, then will she choose to leave this town, or ......
Duanmu's scarlet eyes flashed, and he grabbed Feng Yan's right hand holding the horse rope, and said, "Ah Yan, I remember, my family has a shop in this town, maybe my sister will be in that shop." β
"I remember...... That shop should ...... It should be on Ha Ching Street. β
Changqing on the side hurriedly said: "Fourth girl, the little one knows where Heqing Street is." It's just north of town, about four or five blocks away. β
------Off topic------
Good morning! Yesterday I made mooncakes at home, and the cat sat on the side to supervise the work. As a result, a cat hair appeared in the baked mooncake......
