Murong glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently, and did not stop Mu Lejin's behavior, and found a clean seat in the inn, and the table in the inn obviously hadn't been wiped for a few days, covering it with a thin layer of dust.

She raised her hand and brushed it on the stool, turned to sit down, and then looked at the middle-aged man again, her phoenix eyes were sharp, and she asked coldly: "Why is this city so desolate, and where have the people gone?" What happened? Please come along one by one."

There was a majesty in her words that could not be refused, and the man who was originally looking at Murong was so frightened that he dared to look at her again, and hurriedly lowered his head, but saw that Mu Lejin's long sword was still on his neck, and his intestines were blue with regret, he knew that this was the case, and he would not have opened the door to welcome guests if he said anything today.

"Uh.... The little ones must know everything and say everything.....".

"Let's talk about the point", without waiting for the middle-aged man to finish speaking, Mu Lejin shook his long sword and snorted coldly, which frightened the man even more, and his feet were soft, and he knelt directly on the ground.

Murong Qianran waved his hand at Mu Lejin, he withdrew his long sword, the middle-aged man was relieved to see that his neck was safe, but he didn't dare to get up, and said slowly: "A month ago, the Three Kingdoms went to war, and the imperial court levied grain from various cities and towns. At the beginning, only a small number of people left the country, but later, the imperial court levied grain for the second time, and a large number of people went directly, and now there are not even ten families left in this huge city."

The middle-aged man's words made Murong Qianran stunned for a moment, wasn't she already arranged when she left Gusu City? In a few days, there will be grain and grass continuously transported to Beiming and Linlang, and now, how can there be a levy for grain?

"Doesn't the imperial court have a treasury? Why do you have to ask for food from the people"? Murong Qianran hid his surprised expression, looked at the man through the white gauze hat and asked.

"Naturally, the treasury is empty, so we will collect grain from the people, but the specific reason, how can ordinary people like us know", the middle-aged man just finished speaking, immediately closed his mouth, looked at Mu Lejin, and then looked at the long sword in his hand, for fear that he would put the long sword on his neck because he was disrespectful to the woman.

Mu Lejin frowned, but it wasn't because of the middle-aged man, he knew everything about what Murong Tianran had arranged before he left Gusu City, but he couldn't figure it out, how could this become an empty treasury again? Didn't Xuanyuan's grain and grass go to the two countries?

"Okay, I know, you go and prepare some dry food", Murong Tianran waved his hand at the middle-aged man, and fell into his thoughts again.

The man wanted to say something, but he glanced at Mu Lejin, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and said secretly in his heart, this army is in chaos, and the food is almost worth more than gold, and you still let me prepare dry food for you? Hmph, what the whole world knows, these two people don't know? It's weird.

He stood up slowly, walked towards the back hall, and after a while, he held a tray in his hand, and there were five nests in the tray, Mu Lejin looked closer, and was immediately annoyed, pointing to the yellow nest head and shouting angrily: "You.... You're going to let us eat this"?

He was born in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally knows what this thing is, but there are those who are extremely poor, or poor areas, will treat these things as treasures, and he, even if he is hungry, has never eaten this, let alone him, even his master, he will not let her eat these things.

The middle-aged man saw Mu Lejin angry, and heard what he said, he was also a little angry in his heart, don't talk about this, even the roots of the tree are being eaten by people, this nest head, it is all gold in gold, and the person in front of him is still so disdainful, he doesn't care, he throws the tray on the table, and puffs up his chest, looking at Mu Lejin.

"This? What's wrong with this? This is now more valuable than gold, it would be good if I could take it out, you don't know how to lift, disdain, the surrounding towns, people have begun to eat people, besides, these are enough for my family to eat two meals, do you think I am willing to take it out? Give it to you, we will eat two less meals, I see that you two are extraordinary, I don't want to slack off, you still have such an attitude, it's really annoying to me."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his chest collapsed again, however, on the contrary, Mu Lejin was not angry, he had a very shocked expression, and only the words cannibalism echoed in his mind.

How so?

Even Murong Qianran stood up violently, looked at the man sharply, and his tone couldn't be calm, "People eat people? Are you serious"?

The man thought that waiting for him would be a lesson, but when he heard Murong Qianran's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again and said: "Seriously, seriously, there is already a famine around, and I can take out this little dry food for you, if the two of you are in a hurry, I am afraid that it is already an empty city, so you have to save some food, but I heard that Gusu City is better, and many people have rushed there."

Murong tilted her head and looked at the five nests on the table that were only the size of fists, and her heart couldn't be steady, she raised her hand violently, and politely said to the middle-aged man: "The grace of dripping water should be repaid by a spring", after speaking, she quickly wrapped up the dry food and rushed outside.

Mu Lejin also followed closely with Murong Qianran, the two quickly got on the horse, held the reins tightly, and the whip was whipped the horse's tail, and the horse galloped quickly on the road because of the pain, raising a puff of dust.

Before the middle-aged man could say a word, he only saw two distant backs, flicked his sleeves, turned around and entered the inn, and closed the door tightly.

The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, he didn't take this sentence to heart, however, after a few years, he didn't expect that now this small inn has become the most popular restaurant in Xiangyang City, and the wealth is rolling in, and he is worry-free in this life.

In the same way, it also tells us that good people are rewarded.

In other words, Murong Qianran and Mu Lejin left Xiangyang City, and after leaving the city gate, Murong Qianran grabbed the reins, looked back at the city tower, and secretly said in his heart, if this is the case, there are no officers and soldiers guarding the city.

The sky gradually darkened, and before dusk, it actually rained drizzle, and the spring rain continued, this time, it was two days and two nights.

In the past two days, the city that the two of them passed by, all of them were desolate and uninhabited, and the entire city became an empty city, even if they found that someone was still alive, they were only dying, otherwise they had just breathed, and there were countless corpses that had rotted and stinked in every household in the city, and Murong Qianran's heart was even more anxious, now in spring, during the rampant period of bacteria and viruses, if you don't notify Lang Xiaoyue quickly, the Linlang Dynasty may set off a plague storm again.
