Under the brutal offensive of Yinba, Zhuang Rou didn't use much strength, and those rebels were shattered. She felt that Yinba had not only grown taller and stronger, but also stronger than before, and she didn't know what the crazy woman had done to her.

But this is only a great benefit for Zhuang Rou, she hugged the leftover fruit of Yinba, in addition to it from the capital in winter, where is there such a thing to eat in Hongzhou.

She also turned over the corpses in the ground, they didn't have any silver on them, and if any, who would come to work as rebels. But the dry food will be more or less on her body, and she found three cold steamed buns made of black and black I don't know what they are.

After wrapping the things in a cloth, she sprayed a lot of blood on her fur, and looked at the hideous-looking Yinba's back.

"Yinba, let's go into the mountains." Zhuang Rou patted it and said.

Yinba thumped his chest a few times, roared, hugged Zhuang Rou and carried her on his shoulders, and rushed out of the official road at a fast speed and got into the woods.

The rugged mountain forest is more suitable for it than the flat land, several times more agile than a person, and it is like walking on the flat ground in the mountain forest, and it quickly climbs over the top of the mountain and goes to other mountains with Zhuang Rou on its shoulders.

Under Zhuang Rou's instructions, Yinba took her to climb a cliff in the middle of the mountain, where there was no top or bottom, and without Yinba's help, except for the light master, others could not come up even if they could see her.

This is a good place that Zhuang Rou found before, and it has always been very hot, if you can get here, you can sleep peacefully even if there is no one to guard it.

It's a pity that she can't go up, so she can only look at it several times. Now that there's the Silver Tyrant, that's perfectly fine.

This is really a good place, the mountain wall is recessed into a stone crevice about three zhang deep, there are two people to come high, the terrain is flat and dry.

Zhuang Rou asked Yinba to go out and get some branches and dead wood, and then raised a fire and used bamboo tubes to boil water to soak up those dry food that was difficult to eat and no different from stones, and ate it comfortably, and then fell asleep on Yinba's thighs.

Yinba sat by the fire and didn't move, but when the fire was smaller, he would pick up a thick branch and carefully throw it into the fire like Zhuang Rou.

It doesn't like fire, and when it was a child, it didn't dare to go near the source of fire, but now it's completely unafraid of what it will make it painful. As long as you stay away and don't get burned by it, you can still warm your body.

Only by staying with Zhuang Rou can it feel at ease. Everyone else was very wary of it, and Yinba could feel it, which made it irritable. And that man, it made it feel scared and uneasy, and it was great to be away from them.

With Yinba by his side, Zhuang Rou was also relieved to sleep, without worrying about someone sneaking attack. A man and a beast lean on each other by the fire.

Hongzhou, state government.

Chu Xia was in the middle of the breeze, drinking a tea with only a few tea leaves, and his tea leaves were distributed to everyone as food. After all, the whole city was starving, and he took out the tea leaves to divide them, so that he could appear that he was not eating alone, but was starving with the people.

"My lord, the city has been trapped for many days, and there is not much food, and some people have no extra food. Although all the shops selling food were sealed, they had been looted or hidden before, and they could only ensure the supply of officers and soldiers defending the city. Wu Tongzhi said with a dishful face, the situation in the city is not optimistic.

Chu Xia nodded, "I know, I can hold out for a few days for the time being." The people in the city were given a handful of beans and two pieces of snacks every day, until they were finished. ”

Most of the goods in those dim sum shops were forcibly bought by the government with silver, leaving only a part for them. Originally, the store didn't want to give it, so he cried and rolled on the ground, where did the official buy the food.

But Ma Dezheng told them that it was for the sake of the governor that he did this. If they don't buy food, in a few days, their shops will inevitably be broken by the starving people.

If they couldn't find food and couldn't give a reason, they would have died.

The shops who reacted were hairy on their backs, and only then did they understand the good intentions of Lord Zhizhou. In addition, the amount of silver given was several times that of normal days, and I didn't go to the house to forcibly copy it, so the food that I had hidden before could be saved.

After thinking about it, he honestly asked the official to buy all the food.

These sugar pill shortbreads are not in large quantities, and one or two pieces per person can save lives at critical times.

Wu Tongzhi's family is also rich now, and they can't buy food, they save everything to eat, and they don't know how long they will be around, and the porridge will be so clear that it can shine on people.

Although the days are hard, they are still much better than the people, and he has nothing to pick, he only hopes that the imperial army can come over to relieve the siege earlier.

"My lord, then the lower official will do it." He replied.

At this time, Xiao Ran reported outside the house: "My lord, the rich father-in-law is here." ”

Wu Zhouzhi didn't want to see that guy, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, the lower official will retire first." ”

Chu Xia knew that no one wanted to see this old eunuch, so he smiled and said, "Okay, the affairs of the people in the city will be handed over to Wu Tongzhi." ”

"Yes." Wu Tongzhi hurriedly withdrew, passed by the rich father-in-law at the door, and found that he had lost a lot of weight, and he had lost meat after not eating anything good for a few days.

The last chicken in his own family was quietly killed and eaten three days ago, and if he didn't kill it, he was stolen by the guards sent by King An.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Wu Tongzhi hurried out to run errands.

And the rich father-in-law looked at Chu Xia in the middle of the breeze, and he couldn't be calm, he shouted in a duck-like voice: "The king of the county! How long will this day pass, the prince has not eaten meat for several days. There is a bowl of porridge every day, there is no shredded meat, today I have to bring back our meat no matter what, the prince can't stand it with such a body! ”

He entered the palace to serve the little prince in his life, and followed King An out of the palace, and he has not been hungry for decades. Now that I'm old, I'm still trapped here and starving, and every day I drink a bowl of porridge so that my mouth fades out of the birds.

Without oil and water in the stomach, this porridge is not used at all, and my heart is cold every day, and if I don't eat meat, I will go crazy!

Chu Xia looked at him, this rich father-in-law can be said to come to make trouble every day, and King An wants to eat meat and wants to go crazy. At night, he always sent guards out to steal chickens and dogs, so that the whole state capital was left with such a living thing as the black general.

It's annoying......

He smiled slightly, "Meat? Yes. ”

The rich father-in-law thought that today was going to be in vain again, but he didn't expect Chu Xia to agree so readily, it seems that this guy must be hiding meat. Otherwise, just drinking porridge, his face with fine skin and tender meat will not be ugly, he must have eaten meat behind everyone's back, it is really shameless!

He hurriedly said: "Where is the meat, bring it quickly, we will cook it ourselves!" ”

"No, I'll send someone to cook it, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." Chu Xia smiled and turned his head to look at Xiao Ran, "Xiao Ran, the rich father-in-law is thinking about King An wholeheartedly, and he voluntarily cut off his arm to cook meat soup for King An, so you can take a hand." ”

The rich father-in-law was stunned for a moment, didn't react, turned around stiffly, and saw Xiao Ran coming over with an expressionless face. Drawing a soft sword from his belt, he swung it upwards and cut off the left arm of the rich father-in-law.

"Ahh The rich father-in-law suddenly screamed, covered his wound and fell to the ground, and the moment the arm fell, it was caught by Xiao Ran.

Chu Xia sat on the chair and drank tea leisurely, and said with a smile and thoughtfulness: "After all, it is a piece of the rich father-in-law's heart, leave him a bowl of soup, and if he doesn't eat meat for many days, he must be sad." ”

"Send the rich father-in-law to Doctor Zhao, you must heal the rich father-in-law, I don't know how long the siege will besiege, it is difficult for the king to use meat soup in a few days, and the loyalty of the rich father-in-law can be used a few more times."

"Yes." Xiao Ran answered coldly, grabbed the collar of the rich father-in-law and dragged him out.

Before the rich father-in-law fell into a coma, all he had in mind was Chu Xia's face with a lazy smile.
