Fortunately, these people are still trustworthy. (Vertex Hand Hit) did not attack people.
At this time, Ah Xing walked down the stairs and walked towards the leader. When I got closer, I found that the leader was a young man in his twenties, with a stubble on his face and a scumbag that couldn't see clearly, but his eyes were still bright.
When the man saw a woman with a beautiful face approaching him, he had already recognized that it was the woman who had just spoken to him on the wall, and only then did he realize that this woman was a beautiful woman he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but be ashamed when he saw her approaching him.
The guards and martial artists have been following Ah Xing step by step since the homeless people came in, for fear that Ah Xing would be harmed.
The leader of the displaced people gathered his mind and asked Ah Xing loudly: "In Xia Zhengqi, may I ask Madam, where is the food?" He saw A-Xing combing the woman's bun, and he called it so.
A-Xing made a gesture of please; "Strong, please come with me!"
Steward Zhou led the way in front, Ah Xing and Zheng Qi followed, followed by the courtyard and the martial artist, and then countless hungry people, and the group walked towards the granary.
When he went to the granary, Zheng Qi saw that there were two hills of grain piled up in the barn in front of the granary, and the two piles of grain were about the same amount. And around the grain stood a dozen big men, holding torches, looking at them with wary faces.
A Xing Zhengse said: "This is all the grain in our Zhuangzi, and now we are divided into two, according to the agreement, you take half of it, and leave half for us!" ”
When the hungry people saw the grain, they were like hungry beasts seeing the food, and they were eager to pounce on it, but as soon as they got a little closer, the big men around the grain approached the grain with the torches in their hands, and threatened to burn them, so frightened that the people did not dare to come near again.
If the matter is dry today, the burning of these grains is only a matter of moments. No one wants to see the terrible sight of food being burned to ashes again.
Zheng Qi looked a little displeased: "Madam, what do you mean by this?" ”
Ah Xing said with a smile: "Zheng Zhuangshi, I said that these grains are the foundation of our survival, so we must naturally be cautious. Please wait a moment and we'll send half of it to the door, which we'll give to you. I know that in today's world, it is not easy for everyone, as long as we can help you, we will naturally not be stingy, but please leave us a way to live. ”
These hungry people saw that A-Xing looked like a fairy, spoke softly, and their eyes showed pity, but they also had some good feelings for her. The wild aura in my heart gradually subsided, thinking that I would have a full meal soon, and a smile gradually appeared on my face.
Zheng Qi clenched his fist at Ah Xing. Said: "Madame is generous and trustworthy, and we are not dishonest people!" We will keep the benefits of Madame in our hearts! ”
Ah Xing commanded the people in the Zhuangzi to transport a pile of grain to the outside of the village in front of them, and it was confirmed that they were absolutely not deceived by it. During the loading and unloading process, there are always big Han torches to prevent them from temporarily changing their fortunes and robbing grain.
In fact, the hungry people are now hungry and panicked, seeing that they have food to eat, how can they make more efforts to rob the grain, and after they came in, they saw that there was a lot of strength in the Zhuangzi, and they all had weapons in their hands, and they were all so hungry that their hands and feet were weak, and the ferocious breath that they had just held out was now fully vented, and they were about to fight, so many of them were not necessarily their opponents, and there was a way to live, who wanted to fight hard?
They watched Ah Xing really give them half of the grain, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude in their hearts.
The grain was transported to the outside of the village, and the hearts of the hungry people also flew to the outside of the village, and the footsteps couldn't help but move outward, Zheng Qi looked at the dense crowd around him, and the strong man holding a long stick was around, and turned around and whispered to A Xing: "Thank you Madame for your mercy, it's not without a hard fight." But he is still willing to give generously, Madame's great kindness, we must keep it in mind, and we will definitely repay the opportunity. ”
Ah Xing smiled and said softly: "The strong man is serious, now that the country is in calamity, we, as the people of the Tang Kingdom, should be watching and helping each other, and I hope everyone can survive it." Strong man, robbery is not a good thing after all, I think everyone is a good citizen, why be branded as a thief, I give you a bag of food is potatoes, you must not eat it, you can sow seeds around October, potatoes are resistant to drought and insects, and the harvest is high, next year should be able to make you live! ”
Zheng Qi saw that Ah Xing thought so thoughtfully for them, and he was grateful, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ah Xing: "Madame repays grievances with virtue, such a great kindness, Zheng Qi will never forget." The hungry people behind him also knelt down one after another: "Thank you, Madame, for saving your life." ”
Ah Xing hurriedly asked them to get up, everyone saw that Ah Xing's soldiers had resolved a disaster without blood, and they were secretly relieved in their hearts, and they had a surge of respect for Ah Xing in their hearts, how could they not know that Ah Xing was using these grains in exchange for their peace!
After the hungry people left the manor, they sang and danced around the grain, and everyone immediately carried the grain and left the farm. Before leaving, there were still many people kowtowing in the direction of the farm.
When Ah Xing saw them walking away, she immediately ordered the door to be closed. Then he turned back to everyone and said, "Quick, let's move all the grain into the city!" ”
Steward Zhou was puzzled: "Third Miss, looking at their appearance, they shouldn't come to rob grain again!" ”
A Xing said: "It's not them, there will be others, now that others see that they have successfully obtained food, how can they not think about it, without further ado, we have to be fast, maybe tomorrow, there will be more hungry people pouring here!" "Now that there is not much food, even if she wants to be a good person, she can't do it! In any case, before doing good deeds, you must first make sure that your own people do not go hungry!
Everyone heard Ah Xing say this, and they also realized the seriousness of the matter. Ah Xing thought that it was no longer safe here, but it was impossible for her to bring so many people into the city, so she distributed food to those tenants who had no one enough to survive the winter, and said to them: "It's not safe here, you should find a place to hide for a while, and when this disaster passes, you can come back if you want to." ”
Those farmers wiped their tears and were reluctant to leave, but they also knew that A-Xing had done their duty to them. If she hadn't been taking care of them for the past two years, they would probably be one of those hungry people outside, and now there would be no reason to trouble her anymore. He immediately took the food and left together.
The people in Zhuangzi are all slaves, Ah Xing can't ignore them, fortunately, there are not many people, dozens of people, and it is not difficult to bring them into the city with her current status. At that moment, she beckoned everyone to pack up everything, and then hurriedly left the farm and rushed back to the capital overnight.
When the guards of the capital saw this large group of people hurrying into the city, they wanted to stop them and ask. Seeing that the suspect was the wife of the general who protected the country, Mrs. Anwar, a product of the emperor's own title, checked it and saw that it was just some food, and this group of people also had identity documents, so they were suspicious and put all of them into the city.
A few days later, Ah Xing specially sent someone back to check, and as she expected, the farm was ransacked, and some places were even destroyed. I admire Ah Xing even more in my heart.
There was still no news of the war in the south, and even the imperial court felt strange at this time, not only did they not see any messengers come back for so long, but even the people sent by the imperial court to inquire were nowhere to be found, and Tiandu City fell into a faint panic, not knowing what was going on in the south.
Ah Xing was so anxious that she couldn't eat or sleep, in just a few days, she lost a lot of weight, and everyone was worried about her, but everyone understood her mood and didn't know how to persuade her.
Just when all the people of Tiandu were worried about the war in the south, a great calamity suddenly struck.
August 21
This day is a day that all Tang people can never forget
The Tang State is surrounded by the Jin State, and the United Luojia State, the Jialan State, the Sunset Island Country, the Nidu Country, and the Lishen State formed a million-strong army to suddenly invade the Tang State, because it was too sudden, the new emperor had just ascended the throne and lacked experience, plus the Tang State had suffered disasters in the past two years, and now a large part of the domestic elite soldiers were used to quell the rebellion, and the Six Nations Alliance Army was prepared again, so in just ten days, including the border city and Jincheng. Dongcheng, more than ten coastal Yanbian cities were all captured as if they were devastated, the border city, the city lord of Dongcheng was killed, and the king of Jin fled from Jincheng under the protection of his own soldiers.
Just as the new emperor was mobilizing troops and horses to prepare for the battle, twenty days after the fall of the Ten Cities, the Emperor of Jin personally led an army of 400,000 to quietly cross the pass, like a heavenly soldier descending, surrounding the capital of the sky! The nightmarish siege of the people of Tiandu began.
The tenth day of the siege.
Outside the city, flags fluttered everywhere, and the formation was like the sea. Only its majesty is enough to make people collapse without a fight, and it cannot compete with the domineering momentum, and the front of the formation is densely covered with all kinds of siege equipment.
Ten days passed, no reinforcements arrived, and Tiandu became a lonely city. The people of the city hid in their homes, listening to the cries of the city and outside the city in fear, waiting for their end in sorrow and despair.
Suddenly, the trumpets outside the city sounded, the war drums shook the heavens and the earth, and a new round of siege began. For a moment, the horses neighed and screamed, like a nightmare that would never wake up, and deeply shocked everyone in the city.
Ah Xing and her family stayed in the backyard of the theater, listening to the sound outside the window with a pale face, at this time, the city wall may have been hit by flying stones, making a loud "bang", it seemed that even the whole city shook.
The maid in the courtyard screamed in surprise, holding her head and hiding in the corner shivering.
The dough was so frightened that she cried, but Feng'er stood in front of the dough with a wooden sword in her hand and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, my brother protects you." Li Yin held the two children tightly in his arms, tears flowing. The whole body trembled involuntarily.
Liu Guihua hugged her little brother and Yun Duo tightly, Li Runfu sat next to him, looked out the window in a daze, and sighed softly: "This is the sky that is going to destroy my Tang Kingdom......
Chen Ying hugged the child and snuggled tightly with her husband Wang Steward, while Chen Jing stood behind Ah Xing and comforted Ah Xing softly: "Don't worry, Shen Yuanfeng is strong in martial arts, he will definitely be fine, he will be safe......" Speaking of the future, there is no way to continue, if he is really safe, knowing that Ah Xing is in danger, with his character, even if he fights to the death, he will come, but now, where is he?
