Yuan Ning was not so curious about Mo Xiao. In the past, I didn't know why Gu Lingjin was so optimistic about Mo Xiao, and when Mo Xiao went to study later, his understanding of Mo Xiao was only a few times when he was a child.

The closest contact was also when he went to see Lang Tiangong before, when he used a dagger against Mo Xiao's neck, and Mo Xiao's performance at that time was indeed very calm. Maybe it's because Mo Xiao knew that he wouldn't hurt her at that time.

However, Mo Xiao's performance at that time really amazed Yuan Ning, and it was also because of this matter that Yuan Ning was not dissatisfied with Gu Lingjin's instructions to do things according to Mo Xiao's wishes.

"Yuan Ning, what are you in a daze?"

After Mo Xiao finished talking about his plan, he got Yuan Ning's approval, this was supposed to be a good start, and he was still waiting for Yuan Ning to praise himself? Why did Yuan Ling start to be in a daze?

"You don't have anything to say?"

"What should I say?"

Yuan Ling was suddenly screamed by Mo Xiao, and he hadn't come to his senses yet, and he didn't know what Mo Xiao was talking about.

"I said, what do you think of my plan. What do you mean by saying 'very good'? ”

Mo Xiao is looking forward to Yuan Ling being able to praise and praise herself, so that she has the motivation to act again. Of course, if Yuan Ling had any suggestions, he might be even happier.

After all, one person counts short and two people counts long, maybe one plus one does not equal two.

"Your plan is actually very good, before we came, the young master also told me a little, asking me to watch you. Don't rush things when doing things. Moreover, we can investigate some things from the mouths of the people, and believe that they are more powerful for your plan. ”

"Well, you're right, as long as I can get to Yongzhou quickly, there will be time for us to investigate the ins and outs of the matter, and we can also take the opportunity to annex a lot of merchants. At that time, even if the master comes, it will only be the business name that has changed owners. ”

"That's right."

Yuan Ning is particularly in favor of Mo Xiao's plan, which is mainly derived from Mo Xiao's idea. Things in the court are really changeable, and the only thing you can do is to protect yourself. Yanyang seems to be a powerful country on the surface, but the surrounding countries are also eyeing each other, among which the small countries led by Hanyue always harass Yanyang's borders, so strong troops are necessary.

However, sometimes the party and government of the imperial court do not care about this, and even say that a delay may lead to the tragic death of the soldiers, and there may be a situation where the army is defeated. Therefore, it is very important to supply grain and grass.

I think the same as Mo Xiao, people are selfish. The result of such efforts to make money and cultivate one's own power is just that when you want your family to go to war, you will not encounter a crisis because of logistics.

"Yuan Ning, look over there, there's a fight. Let's go over and see what the hell is going on. ”

Mo Xiao was chatting with Yuan Ning, and he noticed the sound of a fight nearby, which was his intuition telling him that something must have happened, and maybe it was in his favor.

"Be careful, let's go over and have a look."

Yuan Ning stopped the impulsive Mo Xiao, and he didn't know where this person's energy came from, and he didn't know how to take a look at the situation first, so he wanted to rush forward, but fortunately he came with him, otherwise Mo Xiao might not know what would happen.

Actually, Yuan Ling misunderstood Mo Xiao, and Mo Xiao felt that there must be something in this, so he wanted to find out. Otherwise, it would not be so impulsive.

Soon, they hid in the grass, and not far from them, it seemed that several parties were 'fighting'.

Mo Xiao doesn't understand this very well, under normal circumstances, it is both sides, why is this battle at least three parties? Mo Xiao felt that he might be inexperienced, so he turned to look at Yuan Ning, hoping that the other party could give him an answer, but it seemed to be useless.

"I don't know what this is, let's wait and see."

Yuan Ning also felt that this matter was a bit extraordinary, so let's take a closer look. If there is a real problem, it can be solved as soon as possible.

The fight between these forces is still very brutal, and it seems that life safety is also involved.

"Yuan Ning, you said that if we intervene at this time, can we get something?"

Mo Xiao took out the medicinal powder he had studied before, looked at Yuan Ling, and waited for the other party's answer.

Looking at the medicinal powder in Mo Xiao's hand, Yuan Ling's first reaction was to test the wind direction, and found that it was blowing in the direction of the wind below, so he nodded very affirmatively and asked Mo Xiao to quickly throw the medicinal powder. In a short time, those who were still fighting fell.

"Don't worry, let's take a look."

Mo Xiao is very confident in his powder, and believes that there will definitely be no problems.

These people won't fight for no reason, maybe someone is catching cicadas and yellow finches, so it's better to be cautious. Yuan Ning also had this idea, so he decided to wait and see.

Sure enough, a few people soon appeared, and Mo Xiao took the opportunity to continue to spread a lot of medicinal powder, and those who came later also fell.

"Hahaha, we're yellow sparrows now."

Mo Xiao rushed towards the side of those who were lying down.

"I thought you'd say you're a fisherman."

Yuan Ling also said after Mo Xiao.

"What's so good about a fisherman, except that he is a person, he doesn't have the freedom of a yellow finch."

Mo Xiao carefully checked these people around him and found that these people still had something in common. It's that they seem to be the forces in the vicinity, not called here to be ambushed.

"Look." Yuan Ning showed a token he had found. "This should be the token of the Chamber of Commerce, and I think the rest of the people should have something on them to prove their identity."

"Whatever it was, they must have been called." Mo Xiao set his sights on the few people who appeared behind. "You see, these representatives are surrounded by jade plates, and it seems that their owners are very rich."

"You should say that these people should be very powerful and powerful."

Yuan Ning took the jade plate that Mo Xiao searched out and looked at it, but found no clues.

"I've never seen a pattern like this, but we can keep it, maybe we'll find something unexpected when we get to our destination."

"Good idea."

After Mo Xiao put away the jade card, he searched with Yuan Ning, and found that there was nothing wrong, thinking that he might have thought too much, but Mo Xiao just felt that he might have overlooked something.

"Yuan Ning, I always feel as if I'm ignoring something, but I can't think of what it is. Or do you observe? ”

Yuan Ning listened to Mo Xiao's words and looked around, but found nothing. But when I was leaving, I stepped on something, and when I picked it up, I found that it was a puppet.

"Do you have any impressions of this?"

Although Yuan Ning often works for Gu Lingjin, he has seen a lot of people. However, it is not a frequent outing. But Mo Xiao lived and studied with Yi Yue before, so maybe he has some insight.

"You really think highly of me, and I don't know anything about it."

Mo Xiao took the doll in his hand and looked at it, and realized that he seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't think of where he had seen it.

"But I have to think carefully about where I saw it."

Mo Xiao pressed his temple, thought about it carefully, and realized that he had seen it in a village, and he had followed Yi Yue to that place to heal the villagers before.

"It's not like the whole village is a bad person."

Mo Xiao thought this thing was simply incredible.

"Otherwise, what do you think is possible?"

Yuan Ning felt that this matter was not impossible, even if the whole village was not involved, then this matter would definitely not be far away.

"Let's go to the destination first, and if we encounter anything unexpected on the way, let's investigate."

Mo Xiao knew that place, that place was not halfway to the place he was going to, but a relatively remote place that needed to be detoured. So, until there is no definite evidence, it is better not to change the itinerary casually.

"Okay."

Yuan Ning thought for a moment. This thing is not unreasonable, anyway, I can't see any situation at the moment, so it's better not to change the goal. Even if there is any problem later, it is urgent to correct it.

After traveling overnight, Mo Xiao and Yuan Ning soon arrived in Yongzhou, this place is not as desolate as they thought, everything is just thinking too much.

"I thought I was hungry and hungry, but now it looks like it's fine."

Mo Xiao felt that things might not be as difficult as he thought.

"Don't think too much about it."

Yuan Ning had some doubts, thinking that this matter might not be as good as Mo Xiao thought. Even if everyone doesn't seem to be hungry, looking at the eyes of those people looking at their side, it can be clearly seen that they are more hungry for food.

"I have a bad premonition, you have to be careful."

"Okay."

Mo Xiao looked around, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong. However, looking at Yuan Lemon's appearance, it seems that something is going to happen.

"What will happen?"

Mo Xiao muttered in his heart, but he still followed Yuan Ling closely, worried that he would be separated from Yuan Ling inadvertently.

"What do you think?"

Yuan Ning thought that no matter how he looked around, he felt that something was wrong, but he felt that the mental state of these people was not very right, just the feeling on the surface.

Looking at Mo Xiao beside him, he felt that Mo Xiao didn't notice anything wrong with the surrounding environment at all, and he didn't understand it a little. With such an obvious appearance, why doesn't Mo Xiao feel it at all?

"Let's find a place to live first, and then we'll talk about other things."

Mo Xiao didn't answer Hara's words, but turned around to find a place to live.

Yuan Ning originally thought that Mo Xiao was very strange, but soon he found that something even stranger had happened, that is, Mo Xiao sniffed around, really like a dog.

"Mo Xiao, what are you doing?"

Yuan Ning didn't understand Mo Xiao's behavior.

"Shhhh We'll be able to find a suitable place to rest later. ”

Mo Xiao sniffed again, and finally determined the location. I took Yuan Ling to a remote corner, where there were several families, but the door was open, and there should be no one left.

Mo Xiao found a random one, and after making sure that there was no one inside, he closed the door.

"Now that we're all safe, you can tell what the hell is going on now."

Yuan Ling was sure that Mo Xiao had found something, but when he could say it on the road, he had to find a safe place and then talk about it, what was going on?

"I just passed by some people and I felt that they had a very strange smell on them, and that smell didn't give me a very good feeling. I've seen a lot of people along the way, and I guess the smell might indicate an infectious disease, but it doesn't seem to be. ”

Mo Xiao said with a frown.

"You're not kidding, are you?"

Yuan Ning looked at Mo Xiao with wide eyes, this matter is not good for such casual guessing, if there is any accident, the result will really cause panic.

"How could I possibly joke with such a thing? However, the smell is definitely not normal. ”

It's weird, I can't tell what it smells like.

Mo Xiao also felt that the matter was more serious.

"In this way, we will solve this problem carefully in the evening."

Now in broad daylight, if you do do something, it may be more troublesome. So, let's wait until the evening.

After Mo Xiao finished speaking, he began to think about the possibility of this happening.

Under normal circumstances, if it is a flood disaster, the probability of this thing happening is very high, but now it is a drought, and such a thing should not be much. So why does it happen that most people look sick?

"It's all about what you eat?"

Mo Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, maybe it was because there was a problem with what he ate, so most people had problems.

"You mean, there's something wrong with what you eat?"

Yuan Ning listened to Mo Xiao's words and turned to look at Mo Xiao.

"It's not impossible."

Mo Xiao looked at Yuan Ling and said what he thought.

"Because of the disaster in this place, and because the disaster is serious, the imperial court will allocate funds and distribute food. To put it mildly, then the people in this place should not have enough to eat. But what we've seen along the way isn't like that. Most people are in a state where they seem to have food. It's not the same as when it's usually good, but it's full of food. ”

"Isn't this the people of the government organizing to eat together? If the local government does a good job, such a thing is not impossible. ”

Yuan Ning once encountered that the local parents and officials collected all the people's food at the first time of the disaster, and then distributed food regularly and quantitatively every day. So, if the government here does the same, then the people will still have food to eat.

"What you said is not unreasonable, and this can explain why the people here look like they have eaten, but their faces are not good, and they are sick."

"That is, there is a problem with the food, which is not well preserved?"

Yuan Ning said it herself, and she felt that it was impossible for things to happen. At this time, food is so important, why can't it be kept well? It's an impossible problem.

"Let's wait and see, maybe there's news."

"Hmm."

Mo Xiao and Yuan Ning calculated that they came quickly, so there was a gap of about three days between the time they came and the army, and they had to be able to investigate everything here within these three days, so that when the army arrived, they would not necessarily be caught off guard.

On the way of the Disaster Relief Army.

"Ling'er, have you been adapting lately?"

Gu Zhang rode on a horse, looked at his son beside him, and asked.

"My son is in good health, you don't have to worry."

Although Gu Lingjin was a little uncomfortable in his body, because he was in a good mood, these things could be ignored.

"I see that the two subordinates next to you are gone." Gu Lingjin brought additional people here, and naturally he also had Gu Zhang's consent. Usually it's before and after the saddle, why is it missing at this time? "What's going on?"

"No, it was the children who told them to go first, to investigate the disaster area first." Gu Lingjin explained. "I know my father sent scouts too, but experienced scouts sometimes overlook some details. In addition, Xiao Mo knows a little about medical skills, although it is only the skin. But maybe something will be discovered. ”

"Well, too. It's time to look into it. ”

After Gu Zhang listened to Gu Lingjin's explanation, he felt that Gu Lingjin was still thinking more comprehensively. I didn't even think about why I didn't send a scout with a little medical skills, so that if something went wrong in the front, I could also ensure the safety of the army.

"Ling'er, this matter is well done."

"Thank you for your father's compliment."

Although Gu Lingjin didn't really just shoot Mo Xiao and Yuan Ning to find out information, who didn't want to show more?

Yongzhou:

"Mo Xiao, let's go out and have a look now."

Originally, Yuan Ning also wanted to wait until the evening to act, but suddenly found that it was very lively outside, so he called Mo Xiao to go out and have a look.

"Okay."

Mo Xiao thought, anyway, there are quite a few people outside, and he and Yuan Ling will definitely not be very abrupt. Sure enough, Mo Xiao and Yuan Ling saw that someone was starting to prepare to distribute food, and the combination was rice porridge and steamed buns, although there were no vegetables, but they were enough to satisfy their stomachs or something.

"You wait here for a while, I'll go get some food and come back, and we'll find out what's going on."

Yuan Ning said, pulled his clothes, and then smeared the wall ash on his face and hands, and went to line up. Mo Xiao was hidden to the side, trying not to be seen.
