"Taining, tell me more about what happened. Let's talk about the food of the people. ”

After listening to Mo Xiao's answer, Gu Anyan felt that since his own people had already gone to see it, he could know what those people had eaten.

"Yes, sir." Taining recalled. "When I arrived in Yongzhou, I found that the people were not very energetic, but this thing was also natural, after all, there was a disaster, and there was no grain harvest. However, the government organized itself very well and distributed food on time. It's just that I eat rice porridge and steamed buns. ”

"Rice porridge, steamed buns."

"Rice porridge, steamed buns."

…

After Gu Anyan repeated it several times, he finally understood what he had overlooked in this matter.

Since the drought in Yongzhou, there has been a shortage of food. Moreover, it has been three months since the incident happened to the request for support from the imperial court, so where did these things come from?

Although it can be said that the big families in the city have also been expropriated by the government, but there are so many people in Yongzhou City, no matter how much food there is, it is impossible to insist that there is still food to eat.

Especially with steamed buns, a little rice porridge would be good.

"What kind of problem are you talking about about food?"

Gu Anyan looked at Mo Xiao, he must know the details of this matter, it was this female doll.

"Regarding this matter, I will not say it until I get in front of General Gu. I came here just to stop the loss, and I didn't want Gu Jiajun to be damaged. So, please don't move forward for the time being, and come with me to see General Gu. ”

Mo Xiao didn't tell everything about it, he went to Gu Zhang's side and said, no matter how you say this credit, it is Gu Lingjin's, but if you talk to this person, this credit may not be who it will be in the end.

"Okay."

Gu Anyan thought that the person in front of him might not believe in himself, otherwise he would not have kept insisting on seeing General Gu.

"Jiao Xun, you control the overall situation first, set up camp and wait for us to come back."

Gu Anyan can still distinguish priorities. hurriedly called his lieutenant general to come over to defend the vanguard troops, and he quickly marched towards the direction of the army with Mo Xiao and Yuan Ning.

Because Gu Anyan was a pioneer officer, there must have been something big when he arrived at this place, so he quickly met Gu Zhang and Zhou Xiaokang.

After Gu Zhang saw Yuan Ning and Mo Xiao, he knew that the two of them must have found out something, otherwise it would not be these two people who came to him.

"What happened?"

Gu Anyan looked at Gu Zhang and asked the two people beside him directly, and his heart was relieved. I finally didn't delay the news.

"General, villain Xiao Mo. When Yuan Ning and I went to Yongzhou according to the young master's instructions, although the people there were in a very bad spirit, it could be seen that there was still food at ordinary times. However, they don't look right. It was only when we knew that we had seen the food that we realized something was wrong. ”

Mo Xiao said to Gu Zhang.

"The food distributed by the government is rice porridge and steamed buns, which is not very problematic in normal times. However, the drought in Yongzhou has been too long, and it has been a long time now, and even if all the grain in the city is gathered together, it is impossible to have so much food by now. So we looked at where the food came from. ”

"What's wrong with this, the source?"

Gu Zhang looked at Mo Xiao's face and thought that something big was about to happen.

"Yes. Among these foods, steamed buns are made by grinding various grains into flour, which is no problem, but they are steamed with Guanyin soil. ”

"That's not right, although Guanyin soil is not very good, it can also be used to satisfy hunger." Zhou Xiaokang asked calmly. "What's so strange about that? There is not much food left, and it is understandable to add a little. ”

"Yes, there is no problem with mixing and eating a small amount of Guanyin soil with usual flour and other things, but the point is that these Guanyin soil was dug up in places where the corpses are all over the place. The toxic substances contained in this soil are not traceable. ”

"What! Where are the corpses strewn? ”

As soon as Gu Zhang heard about the place where he was digging, he knew that this matter was definitely not so simple.

"By the way, what about rice porridge?"

The faces of the people present who heard the news were not very good, and the digging place was not so normal, so what was the rice porridge?

"Rice porridge is porridge made from rice, millet and other grains, and then diluted with water. The problem is in the diluted water. The water was boiled with incineration. ”

Mo Xiao said it without hiding anything.

I originally wanted to lay a foundation in Yongzhou, but now it is still a question whether all the people in Yongzhou can survive.

"What does this burn do?"

Zhou Xiaokang felt a headache when he listened to Mo Xiao's words.

"Burning love, as the name suggests, is to erase the emotions of the person who eats the burning love, the affection between family members, the love between partners, and the friendship of friends will slowly disappear, and finally become a person without any feelings."

Mo Xiao explained briefly and said.

"What's the combination of the two?"

Gu Zhang had already begun to think about how he was going to solve the problem of Yongzhou City, while Zhou Xiaokang wanted to know what would happen to the people who used these foods?

"Ancient books once recorded that this is a prescription called Soul Sealing. As long as it comes to the final critical moment, the person who successfully survives will be acupunctured, and in the end, he will become a dead man loyal to the other party. ”

"Such a dead man, ruthless and loveless, moves quickly and is infinitely powerful. Not to say that one against a hundred, but one is definitely not a problem. ”

After Mo Xiao took a deep breath, he directly told Zhou Xiaokang and the others all the news he knew.

"I want to know, is there a solution to this problem?"

How many people are there in Yongzhou City? If there really wasn't anyone spared, wouldn't it be an empty city?

"No solution."

This is also the most heart-wrenching part of Mo Xiao, this matter turned out to be unsolvable. Why did it turn out this way?

After Zhou Xiaokang heard Mo Xiao's answer, he directly felt dizzy.

"Lord Zhou!"

Yuan Ningyan quickly supported the other party.

"You have to take care."

Gu Zhang walked quickly in front of everyone.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter here, An Yan, you now take my warrant and lead a part of the officers and soldiers and the vanguard troops to surround Yongzhou City, and you must not let anyone go."

"Yes."

Gu Anyan glanced at Mo Xiao and Yuan Ning, and quickly left.

Gu Zhang was in the mood to look at Mo Xiao at this time.

"Is there really no way to solve this problem?"

When Gu Zhang thought that so many people might be gone like this, it hurt in his heart.

Other things are not as important as the lives of the people, so after this matter is resolved, it is urgent to think about the problem of the people behind the scenes.

"General, there is really no solution to this matter."

Mo Xiao said sadly.

"I don't believe there's going to be a way. You hurry up and give me a thought, if you can't think of it, you won't eat. ”

Gu Zhang said excitedly.

If it weren't for this emergency, Mo Xiao would have really laughed. This matter cannot be solved by itself. It's not something that can be solved by changing one person.

"General, Mo Xiao didn't say it. It's that there's really nothing good to do. People who eat these things, as long as they don't have a long time, may not have any other problems except for indifference, but if they don't eat, they will feel uncomfortable. It's a phenomenon that becomes an addiction, and it's not easy to get rid of it. It is necessary to endure pain that ordinary people cannot endure. One out of ten is already a good result. ”

Mo Xiao said sadly.

"So, can we just watch our people die?"

Gu Zhang pounded the table and said.

Outside the tent, Gu Lingjin heard that Yuan Ning and Mo Xiao were back, so he hurried over. I happened to see Gu Zhang slapping the table angrily.

"Father."

"You're here."

When Gu Zhang saw his son, his mood was not much better.

"I've seen the young master."

Yuan Ning and Mo Xiao saluted towards Gu Lingjin.

"Did you find anything?"

If it weren't for the discovery of something big, maybe Mo Xiao would never be willing to leave Yongzhou, these two people came back together, is it because Yongzhou has been given up by Mo Xiao?

"Yes, it's a nuisance."

Mo Xiao thought, in fact, Yongzhou is still a good place, but the premise is that the people who have problems in it have disappeared. Otherwise, it's a hot potato.

"Tell me what's going on."

Gu Lingjin found that this matter was not simple.

"Yongzhou, the birthplace of the drought, may become an empty city as it stands."

Mo Xiao didn't want to repeat what he had said before, it was really a heavy topic. Hurriedly said something simple.

After Gu Lingjin listened to Mo Xiao's words, he was simply stunned. What is the concept of Yongzhou City becoming an empty city? What did the army come here for? Not for the people here? As a result, after the disaster relief army was gone, it became an empty city without doing anything, which...

"Do you know what you said?"

To put it simply, I don't believe what Mo Xiao said.

"Young master, what Xiao Mo said is the truth. It was also seen by Yuan Ling with his own eyes. ”

Yuan Ning knew that Gu Lingjin was not suspicious of Mo Xiao, but it was difficult to accept it for a while.

"Forget it, you're tired too. Let's go down and get some rest. ”

"Yes."

Yuan Ning and Mo Xiao left the main tent.

Gu Lingjin sighed, this thing is really unacceptable, but it has already happened, so naturally there is no way to treat it as if it has not happened. He looked at his father, who seemed to have been hit hard.

"Brother Zhou, what do you think of this matter?"

Gu Zhang has no choice but to turn to Zhou Xiaokang for help, hoping that the other party can have a good solution.

"For today's plan, we can only surround Yongzhou City first, and then find the people behind the scenes."

Zhou Xiaokang didn't want to admit that the people in the city were no longer saved, but he just thought that the person named Xiao Mo was not good at learning.

"Moreover, we are going to send the news back to the capital and ask the emperor to summon capable people to solve this problem."

Although Gu Lingjin wanted to refute this matter, but the other party was an official of the same level as his father, and it was not credible to say anything casually, so let them do it, and things might really change.

"Ling'er, you go and get ready, we'll go full speed ahead later."

"Yes."

Gu Lingjin turned around and went to prepare.

Zhou Xiaokang, Gu Lingjin, suddenly reacted, the two people just now didn't know each other. It seems to be someone next to Gu Lingjin.

"Brother Gu, those two people are the people next to your son?"

"yes." Gu Zhang nodded and said. "Ling'er came here to exercise, originally I thought it was a good opportunity, who knew it would become like this."

When Gu Zhang thought of this, he felt a little sad.

"Oh." Zhou Xiaokang nodded, this makes sense, why does Gu Zhang believe these two people like this. "Do you know these two men?"

In the final analysis, Zhou Xiaokang still didn't believe what Mo Xiao said, and felt that the people could still be saved.

"The people around my son are all members of our family. Although I don't know much about it, they are all born in a family, so there shouldn't be any problems. Gu Zhang understood that Zhou Xiaokang just felt that what Mo Xiao said was categorical, and there was no way to solve everything in front of him. It's a little sad to think about.

"Okay."

Mo Xiao didn't know that he was being questioned, although he said that he should let Mo Xiao rest, but Mo Xiao just sat on the chair, thinking about how to solve this problem.

"What do you think?" Yuan Ling walked to Mo Xiao's side. "Are you thinking about the people?"

"Hmm."

Mo Xiao nodded.

"Although I told the generals before, this matter cannot be solved. However, I still have some sadness in my heart, and I still want to save those people. ”

If it's just a simple problem, then use laxatives to exclude those Guanyin soil, there shouldn't be any big problems, but those people are also steaming steamed buns, and there shouldn't be many big problems. But how to solve the problem of incineration?

"Let's go eat first, you need to have the energy to think."

"Hmm."

Mo Xiao followed Yuan Ling to eat.

"Gee, why is the food so salty today? Could it be that the sense of taste of cooking has deteriorated? ”

"You still say, two days ago, there were a lot of chili peppers, which almost didn't make me fly spicy."

"No, I ate it with tea."

Mo Xiao listened to what they said next to him, and he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Although there is no way to solve the problem of burning, maybe irritating spices can solve this problem.

Moreover, that ancient recipe was only a long time ago, as for why it was lost, in addition to the fact that this recipe was vicious, there was also the fact that it was unsuccessful. What was the first person to succeed? It can't be said because of the geographical location.

After all, even sand will produce different substances due to different geographical locations. In addition, people are different from each other, and it is uncertain what kind of integration and change will occur at that time.

"I have something to find the young master, you can eat first."

Mo Xiao ran away after speaking.

Yuan Ning looked at Mo Xiao who was excited, and really didn't know what the other party had in mind, so excited. I guess I thought of a solution to the problem.

Come to think of it, it's useless to yourself, so it's better to eat your own food first, and you can't waste it.

Mo Xiao quickly found Gu Lingjin.

"What's the matter?"

Gu Lingjin clearly knew that Mo Xiao would not come to him if he didn't have any ideas, sometimes he was low-key as if he didn't have this person, and sometimes he didn't have other ideas.

"Young Master, I have thought of a way to relieve the pain of those people, but there are some uncertainties. So I'm not going to go to the general, I want to talk to you first. ”

"Tell me about it."

Gu Lingjin had already learned the ins and outs of the matter from Yuan Ning when he came back, and when he heard Mo Xiao say that there was no way, he was still very depressed. But now that Mo Xiao came to him and said that there was a way, Gu Lingjin was also very excited.

"Actually, this is just a solution, but I don't know if it will succeed." Mo Xiao really didn't know, although it was a bit irresponsible to say this, but there was no other way. "All in all, this is the problem that we can use with pungent spices to deal with the burning of love."

"Spices?"

Gu Lingjin was originally very interested in listening to what Mo Xiao said.

However, after hearing what Mo Xiao said, the method turned out to be a seasoning, and felt that Mo Xiao's method was a little hasty.

"Isn't that weird?"

"No, in fact, seasonings can also be used in medicine. This time, we use irritating spices to relieve the feeling of not paying attention to anything. Mo Xiao explained a little. Of course, it still depends on how long the other party has eaten. ”

"We'll go to my father in a moment and talk to him about it." Gu Lingjin thought for a moment and said. "It's already this time, as long as there is a way to do it, we can try it. If we can succeed, we have done a good thing, haven't we? ”

"Yes, young master."

When facing Gu Zhang again, Mo Xiao's heart was still under pressure.

"Ling'er told me, do you have a way?"

I just told myself that there was no way, and after a while, I came out and said that there was a way, and this person looked unreliable.

In fact, Xiao Mo is not sure whether this method will work. But Xiao Mo felt uncomfortable when he thought of the thousands of people in Yongzhou City. So, thought about giving it a try. If it is useful, it is also a good thing. ”

Mo Xiao stared at the pressure that Gu Zhang brought to him and said.

"Father, let's hear the way first."

Gu Lingjin could see that Gu Zhang was putting pressure on Mo Xiao, so he naturally stood in front of Mo Xiao and shared some of Gu Zhang's pressure with her.
