It's a pity that the trip to Qingjiang was not very smooth.

Gu Nanqin brought Qingqi and Dongwen, and Changle had leisurely around him, and there were only five people in total.

But the squad, which should have been quite flexible, also ran into a lot of trouble as a last resort.

This year's autumn floods have already caused a lot of trouble, and there are countless epidemics and refugees along with the floods.

In order to prevent refugees with the epidemic from carrying their illnesses elsewhere, checkpoints have been set up in each town to screen those who can and cannot enter.

In order to avoid causing trouble to her identity, Gu Nanqin only said that she and her eldest sister visited relatives, and the guards saw that they were just a few women, so they didn't think much about it, and after a brief investigation, they let them out of the city gate.

But this head just stepped out of the city gate with his front foot, and Gu Nanqin and a few people ran into a thief with their back foot.

Listening to the relatively clear "robbery" in front of the carriage, Gu Nanqin and Changle glanced at each other, and they both read a trace of complexity in each other's eyes.

Gently lifting the corner of the window curtain, Gu Nanqin and Changle saw a group of people standing in front of the carriage almost at the same time.

"Uh...... Are you sure this is a bandit? Gu Nanqin's face flashed with surprise, and his expression when he looked at Changle became gloomy.

It's not because of how menacing these bandits are, but because these bandits look ...... A bit of a weak chicken.

Gu Nanqin wrapped her sick body with a blanket, poked her head out of the car door slightly, and hesitated: "...... It's freezing on this day, have you been waiting here for a long time? What do you want to rob? If she has the power to do so, this girl will do her best. ”

As soon as these words came out, a half-grown child in the group of bandits was the first to cry out with a "wow".

A group of "bandits" who were sicker than Gu Nanqin, plus a few "bandits" who were old, weak, sick and disabled, but still carrying hoes and pickaxes, saw that the car of this seemingly rich family immediately showed a girl with a white scarf and a masked face, looked at each other and hesitated, but the leader continued: "Girl, if you are willing to leave some money, money and food, we will not cause you much trouble." ”

"How much food can save you people? Or maybe you think that I really carry so much money and food with me when I go out, just waiting to help you? Gu Nanqin smiled, "You might as well tell me, what is it that has forced you into such a desperate situation?" ”

looked at each other, but the leader seemed to be aware of Gu Nanqin's identity, and knelt down in front of Gu Nanqin's carriage: "Miss, please save us!" ”

The corners of Gu Nanqin's eyes swept over Dong Wen who had drawn his weapon, and the two of them immediately inserted the long sword into the scabbard, no longer making a saber rattling momentum.

A gust of cold wind hit, and half of Gu Nanqin's head poked out was a little cold, and he coughed twice before he said, "You good citizens are not right, why do you want to pretend to be a bandit?" Two days ago, I heard that Prince Xiaoming led his troops and horses, and he had just set foot on the lair of bandits in the Qinshan area, so aren't you afraid? ”

"Fear is naturally fear...... But there are many robbers and bandits in this vicinity, and even our entire village is short of food and silver. "The leader is not strong, but looks more like a scholar, and at this time he is crying in the cold wind, which is even more pitiful.

"I remember, our Jin Yuan has already set up a porridge shed and a medical center, which is specially designed for the people to see a doctor, and does not charge silver taels, why don't you try your luck? I can also rub a mouthful of hot porridge, so as not to be a thief here, but it is easy to catch the wind cold. Gu Nanqin's eyebrows frowned slightly: Although the baby is the country of Jin Yuan, he is not a bad kind person. If these people are really wronged, I am willing to do my best to help them...... But if these people are just pretending to be confused, unwilling to believe in the imperial court, unwilling to accept relief, then it is another matter.

The leader lowered his eyes and did not dare to raise his head, faintly aware that the girl in front of him was not small, and maybe she could become a life-saving straw to save the whole village, so he replied honestly: "...... Don't hide it, girl, there is indeed a place for these things you are talking about. Originally, it could really give a mouthful of life-saving food, but in recent days, the beams of the porridge shed have also broken, and only some thin soup like white water remains; The doctors in the clinic were also missing, and only a few seven or eight-year-old medicine children remained. ”

When Gu Nanqin heard this, he was silent for a while, and did not answer at first, but just withdrew into the carriage and looked at Changle curiously: "Did you hear that?" Is there such a thing? ”

Changle was not in the deep palace like Gu Nanqin, and he had a slight understanding of the people's suffering, so he just said at the moment: "...... Which dynasty and which generation did not take advantage of disaster relief to engage in corruption? What's so strange about it. ”

"That'...... Alas. Gu Nanqin's beautiful eyes flowed, but she sighed suddenly, "...... Nangong Qinghe's matter is urgent. Why don't you go with Youran and Qingqi first, and I and Dongwen will stay, and the prophet will meet with the officials in charge of disaster relief in nearby towns, and then set off to meet you, okay? ”

"That's not good, it's too dangerous for you to stay here, it's better for me to stay leisurely, she has a good martial arts foundation, so she can protect your safety for a while." Although Changle also wanted to stay, he was afraid that it would be too late for Qinghe's side to do so, so he proposed another plan, and said, "Anyway, I will also fight, and it is not too difficult to rush to Qingjiang." ”

"Come on, we've had less mess along the way, aren't we going to have a lot of mess? It's just you, and you still have Qingqi, can I rest assured? Gu Nanqin laughed twice, and still pushed leisurely towards her, "I can also martial arts, Dong Wen is very good, and there is no baggage to hold back the pace, what is really going on, just run away, what do you care?" ”

Changle frowned and wanted to say something, Gu Nanqin had already turned out a fox robe from under the carriage seat, draped it on his body, and called Qingqi and Dongwen again, and after a little talk about the current plan, he stepped out of the carriage in the wind and snow, and did not even leave Changle to say goodbye.

Changle was stunned for a long time, but there were words in his throat.

"Second Miss, what's wrong?" Qingqi was a little worried.

"It's okay, I just feel like I'm panicking." Changle sighed slightly, and still asked to continue to move forward leisurely, but the feeling of blockage in his heart did not subside.

I patted my chest with palpitations, and the feeling of blockage dissipated a little.

Gu Nanqin watched the carriage go away, his face was flat and indifferent, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

On the contrary, Dong Wen glanced at her with a slight complication: just leaving herself alone by her side? She is not afraid that she will betray her again?

"You, you, you ......" Gu Nanqin casually nodded a few people who seemed to be in good shape, "You five, come with me to the nearest mansion, and I will try to ask for some food for you." If not, we'll think of another way. ”

Gu Nanqin didn't say anything to death, only said "try", one is to show that he is not so omnipotent, and the other is to let these people not have too much hope.
