That night, on the bank of an unknown river in Zailuoshui, Xiao Man took Ma Wei and twenty soldiers with him, holding a small number of torches and stools on the bank.

"They can't be wrong about this place, Miss Xiaoman, and there is no special reference here."

Don't worry, this place was explored by them in advance, even if there is really a little error, it will not be much worse, at least it is within our sphere of influence. ”

Ma Wei still has a half-believing attitude, after all, it is not good to see at night, this is not a regular wharf, there is no trestle or anything, Ma Wei even wondered if Xiaoman was a random point to the location, the kind that was very hasty.

It's a quarter of an hour, now it's almost time, Ma Wei has been anxiously waiting, constantly walking around Compared to Xiaoman on the side, Ma Wei seems a little uncalm, and it is not strange that Ma Wei is so nervous, along the way, they saw that the life of the people here is like hell, these grains are life-saving for them, there are too many people dead here, and no more people can die, so Ma Wei decided from the time he took over this matter that he had to do this errand no matter what.

Therefore, before coming again, Ma Wei selected twenty brave and loyal soldiers in the camp, and told them that this mission is important, and it is related to the life and death of the people here, and even if it is necessary, even if it is necessary to sacrifice his own life, he must ensure the successful completion of this mission.

After hearing Ma Wei's words, the twenty soldiers all understood the importance of this mission, because every time they went to the battlefield before, Ma Wei told them to pay attention to their own safety, and they must or come back if they can, and never told them not to spare their lives when necessary, which is unprecedented.

Ma Wei was nervous, and the twenty people were also nervous, because they didn't know what they were going to face next.

In the distance, a faint light gradually appeared on the dark surface of the lake, and it was strange to say that these lights seemed to suddenly appear on the surface of the lake, swaying like ghost fire.

The light jumped up and down, and Ma Wei counted it three times in total.

"Call them back, and the torches shake from side to side three times." Xiaoman calmly spoke.

Ma Wei reacted immediately, reached out and grabbed the torch and waved it left and right, and soon the light on the lake surface increased, and gradually formed a row, lined up on the lake like a long dragon, and the light on the picture moved towards this side, and the speed became very fast, and it was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Only then did it become clear to everyone that the long fleet was gradually spreading out to both sides, approaching the shore, and in the darkness they were well-trained and their movements were crisp and neat, and no one was noisy and holding torches in their hands.

"General Ma troubled the soldiers to light the torches and divide into two teams."

The order was passed on, and soon the shore was brightly lit, and Xiao Man stood in front of the team, smiling, looking at the boat boss who walked down from the head boat.

is already in his fifties, the fish boss has a long beard, wears a short shirt, walks with the wind, looks very tough, and walks towards Xiaoman quickly, "Miss, we have finally arrived to live up to expectations." ”

"Boss Yu has worked hard, brothers have worked hard, Xiaoman will definitely feast all brothers on another day to express his gratitude."

"This is what we should do, the eldest lady is really a bodhisattva, and what we do is far worse than the eldest lady."

Xiao Man smiled, and then stretched out his hand to introduce Ma Wei, "Boss Yu, this is General Ma, who is responsible for carrying the goods today, and General Ma will be in charge of freight transportation in the future." ”

Boss Yu clenched his fists with both hands, "I've seen the general." ”

Ma Wei has no shelf the most, especially seeing Xiao Man speaking to the fish boss so politely, he also respects the fish boss very much, just by virtue of him leading the fleet, thousands of miles to safely transport these grains here, it is not easy, anything can happen on the water, so this fish boss is really capable.

"Boss Yu is polite, just call me Ma Wei when you get older."

"General Ma is really a happy and hearty person, then I will call you Ma Wei directly in the future, now we don't say much, let's move the goods immediately."

"The fish boss said that we should unload the goods immediately, so as not to have many dreams at night."

The prestige of the fish boss among the boatmen is very high, and with a wave of his hand, all the brothers start to move.

Ma Wei knew very well that he was on the march and fighting, maybe he was stronger than them, but he was definitely the strongest in carrying goods and controlling the boats.

"Boss Yu, you see that I and our brothers don't know much about this, you are an expert, so I and our brothers will be sent by you, and we will do whatever you tell us to do."

There happened to be a crew member carrying the goods passing by, and Ma Wei also reached out to help, and Ma Wei left a good impression on the fish boss.

Originally, as soon as I heard that Ma Wei was a general, I subconsciously wanted to stay away and didn't want to have a deep friendship, after all, I was a flat-headed ordinary man and didn't want to have a relationship with any official, but seeing that Ma Wei didn't have a fight at all, he took the initiative to ask him to arrange work for them to do, and in addition to Ma Wei's attitude towards the eldest lady, Boss Yu eliminated the prejudice in his heart.

"Okay, then the old man is welcome, you are mostly northerners, and you are definitely not as familiar with the ship as us southerners, and your body is always swaying from side to side after uploading, and if you don't control it well, you may fall into the water, so I take our brothers to be responsible for moving the goods off the ship from the cabin, and you are responsible for moving them into the carriage, Lord Ma, do you think this is okay?"

"We listen to Boss Yu, come and roll up your sleeves and work."

These boatmen thought the same as the fish boss, thinking that it would not be pleasant to be far away from these people who ate official food, but they didn't expect that these errands had no shelves at all, they were very happy and willing to work hard, and soon they became familiar with them, and there were many people with great strength, and soon all the food was finally transported to the place prepared by Lord Guangwei before dawn.

The next thing is the distribution of food, Xiaoman originally thought that the distribution of food would not go smoothly, and it would definitely cause robbery or riots, but Xiaoman didn't expect Guangwei's prestige in the hearts of these people to be so high.

In the big square of Luoshui Town, all the people rushed to tell each other, and the court wanted to distribute relief food to the people.

Xiao Man stood on a high platform not far away, looking at Guangwei and Zhou Duchan who were surrounded by the people, watching them pacify the people and watching them personally send food to the people, and suddenly felt that their figures were so tall.

It can be seen that these people are already very familiar with Zhou Duchan and Guangwei, looking at the ruins everywhere, it can be seen that this place was also very prosperous and lively before, Xiaoman believes that it will not be long before this place will definitely recover as before.

I don't know what Guangwei said, those people were moved to tears by holding the food, and they called Xiaoman's name in their mouths and said words of thanks.

All the people were immersed in joy, not noticing that in a small alley, a pair of grim eyes watched everything here, looking at the smiling woman on the high platform.

Xiao Man always felt that there was a gaze on his face, and he subconsciously looked around, but he didn't see anything, and he still had a faint feeling of uneasiness when he walked in his heart.

The people below lined up in an orderly manner to get food, and at this time, Xiaoman also walked down the high platform with Friday and Saturday.

When those people saw Xiao Man, they thanked Xiao Man one after another, "Girl, you are really a kind person...... ”

"Thank you girl for saving your life......."

"The girl is a living bodhisattva......."

An old grandmother said this, and after finishing speaking, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Man, Xiao Man immediately went to pull the old woman, "Grandma, I can't help it, I also came on the orders of the emperor, these are what I should do, don't thank me, thank the emperor if you want to thank me." ”

All of them faced the east and turned to thank the emperor who was far away in the capital.

There were a few people in the crowd, looking at Xiao Man with sharp eyes, squinting their eyes, the grain bag in their hands was broken, and those people didn't feel it, letting the grain scatter on the ground.

Zhou Duchan happened to see this scene, raised his hand and made a movement, and soon a few people who were hidden in the crowd began to approach those people super silently.

Guangwei looked at Xiao Man and nodded in admiration again and again, he really didn't speak properly before, or Xiao Man was smart, all the credit should be given to the emperor, even if it is his own food, he has to say what the emperor means, he can't rob the emperor's credit, let alone overshadow the emperor's limelight.

Xiaoman also participated in the team of distributing food, some people were worried, and asked Xiaoman, what should they do, the food of the court can only save them for a while, but it can't save them for a lifetime, their fields are ruined, their crops are all gone, so what should they do in the future? ”

Xiao Man saw that everyone was worried about this matter, so he simply put down the bucket.

On Friday, I saw Xiaoman stepping on his feet and wanted to stand taller, "Miss...... You want to stand taller. ”

"Well, I want to say a few words to the people, I want them all to hear."

Friday and Saturday bent down to put Xiao Man on his shoulders and lifted Xiao Man up, "Miss is this feasible." ”

Xiao Man firmly stabilized his body, "Okay, okay...... That's enough. ”

Xiao Man is still a little afraid of heights, although this height is nothing, but people are always a little uneasy when they leave the ground, Friday noticed that Xiao Man was a little trembling, raised his head and said softly: "Miss, don't be afraid, don't worry, we will definitely not let you fall." ”

"I, I'm not afraid ......."

Friday looked at the two legs hanging on his chest, the trembling legs, "Miss, why are your legs shaking." ”

"That's my body's natural reaction, just shake it for a while."

"Oh," Simple Friday and Saturday believed Xiaoman's nonsense, and didn't say anything else, but the two of them looked down at the two small thin legs that were shaking and shaking on their chests, and they didn't know when they would stop.

It was the first time for Xiao Man to speak in front of so many people, and she felt nervous more than her college entrance speech, and suddenly felt that her brain was blank, and she became a little flustered and subconsciously looked for Zhou Duchan in the crowd.
