The night was thick, the raindrops were like waterfalls, Zheng Yichen and his party walked tactfully in the dark mountain road, feeling overwhelmed, fortunately, Zheng Yichen had three gods to lead the way, and there were thrilling walks along the way, and no major accidents occurred.

Turning a slight corner of the slope, through the hazy rainy night, I was finally able to see a brightly lit city in the distance, but most of the city was plunged into darkness, except for a high ground in the east of the city.

"Master Wu, there is Jing'an City in front, we have arrived!"

Zheng Yichen's tone was extremely excited, and Wu Yan's face was also full of excited expressions, and he immediately shouted happily to the crowd behind him:

"Brothers, we're in Jing'an!"

Hearing Wu Yan speak, the already exhausted crowd behind him immediately stirred, and many people's faces were filled with expressions of expectation.

A sturdy and warm house, steaming meals, a soft bed, and a refreshing hot bath are the most urgent things in the hearts of Wu Yan and his party, and all of these are in Jing'an City not far in front of them.

Wu Yan and Zheng Yichen continued to lead the way in front and walked towards the bottom of the mountain, the speed of the team was obviously much faster, and the remaining distance seemed to be in the blink of an eye.

The city also spotted a continuous procession of torches on the mountain early in the city, and after confirming their identity on the city wall, they opened the door to greet them.

When the people of the city heard the news that the grain convoy had finally arrived, they were boiling, and many people were waiting on both sides of the road with their containers to distribute the grain.

Zheng Yichen rode a horse and was placed at the back of the team by Wu Yan, and in front of him were more than a dozen grain guards holding shields and gun shafts with unloaded guns forming a semicircle, firmly protecting the team behind them.

Zheng Yichen was still puzzled about why this was arranged, but as soon as he opened the door and saw the swarming people, he instantly understood that without these guards, the crazy people would snatch up all the food in the blink of an eye, and in the process of snatching, there would not only be great waste, but also riots.

Wu Yan rode a horse, commanded from a high position, and relied on the guards who had been prepared, the people were successfully blocked from the periphery, and the grain team was also moving forward with difficulty under the protection of the guards.

"Backwards, everybody's back. ”

Wu Yan kept yelling, and the guards hid behind the shield and kept using their guns to beat the crowd and disperse the people, but the speed of the team continued to decline, Zheng Yichen was anxious to see from behind, and ran to Wu Yan's side and said:

"Master Wu, it's not okay to go on like this, I see that more and more people are gathering here, and sooner or later we will be completely blocked here. ”

Wu Yan looked around, his eyes were also full of worry, and now he saw Zheng Yichen speaking, thinking about the two things of landslide and leading the way, Zheng Yichen can be called a perfect performance, and subconsciously asked:

"Then I don't know what the third prince can do?"

Zheng Yichen said without thinking:

"I think at the moment we might as well find an open area to station, form a strong formation, the people are unattended, naturally come quickly, I think we only need to hold out for less than half a moment at most, the Jing'an City County Commander will definitely bring the officials and patrol battalions to meet us, and at that time, it will not be too late for us to leave." ”

Wu Yan thought about it and felt that what Zheng Yichen said was good, and nodded approvingly:

"Yes, it is difficult to send food to the county government treasury with our strength at the moment, and it is the best policy to find a place to wait for help. ”

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and pointed to the front of the main road:

"I remember that there is a market 100 meters ahead, if it is a market day, where it is overcrowded, but if it is normal, it is an open space, and there are not many of us, so it is just right to guard there!"

Zheng Yichen nodded hurriedly:

"That's the best!"

Wu Yan paid attention and immediately began to lead people towards the bazaar, and at the same time asked the guards to stop leaving their hands and hit anyone who got too close.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, Wu Yan still managed to bring people to the bazaar, and settled down, there was no need to hurry, and a lot of people were freed up, firmly protecting the grain cart in the middle, although there were many people, but they couldn't enter at all for a while.

Temporarily out of danger, Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he had encountered this situation in the past, so he was prepared in advance, and dispatched a part of the guards to protect the grain truck, but this time the situation was far more thrilling than any previous time.

Zheng Yichen looked at the excited people on the periphery for a while, his eyes crossed the crowd, and suddenly found that most of the people had anticipation and helplessness on their faces, and the guards were wearing robes and warm cotton clothes inside, but even so, they were shivering from the cold, and most of the people were wearing single clothes, and there were no clothes to shelter from the rain, so they washed under the rainstorm and did not leave, everyone's cold lips were purple, and they had not eaten for nearly two days, the pity and helplessness on their faces were far greater than the imperceptible madness.

"Hey, they're all hard-working people!"

Wu Yan didn't know when he stood beside Zheng Yichen and sighed, but he just sighed, he was not ruthless at this time, but he harmed these people.

The two sides were at a stalemate on a rainy night, but the time did not last long, and the speed of the Jing'ancheng County Order was much faster than Zheng Yichen and Wu Yan expected.

I saw nearly 100 officials in the distance and the patrol battalion in simple leather armor rushing from the county government with thick wooden sticks, and opened the sticks to all the people who were blocking the road, and the people wailed, and took the initiative to hide on both sides.

The people rolled on the ground under the rain and sticks to dodge, Zheng Yichen looked extremely unbearable, but this is not the time to think about this, the people on both sides will be together for a while, and they don't even have time to get to know each other, so they immediately drove towards the county government.

Seeing that the last bag of grain was also sent to the treasury and locked, Wu Yan and Zheng Yichen relieved their hearts, followed the county order to the back hall to take a hot bath, changed into a set of dry clothes, and met in the living room.

"Jing'ancheng County Ling Qu Hao, meet the third prince, thank the third prince and Lord Wu Yan for sending grain and grass, and the lower officials will thank the third prince and Lord Wu for saving their lives for the people of the city. ”

A middle-aged county magistrate saw Zheng Yichen and the others, and took the lead in saying the above words, and then knelt directly on the ground and made a big salute, Wu Yan didn't dare to bear it when he saw this, and hurriedly dodged, Zheng Yichen also hid aside, and Wu Yan went up to help:

"What is the trouble of Quxian Order? This is my own business. ”

Qu Hao insisted on finishing the gift:

"Saved the lives of tens of thousands of people in this city, as the parents of the people, why do you regret this worship?"

Wu Yan was helpless when he saw this, but Zheng Yichen looked at Qu Hao with interest in his eyes, and Zheng Yichen saw the red luck floating above his head for the second time in so long, except for a few people in the Hou Mansion!

And the last one is Wang Zhi, who stands out among countless literary Confucians.
