The relief grain from Ren Fu's approval was finally exploited layer by layer, and there were not many grains in the hands of the people at all. Then the palace pretended to send an official down to investigate, and it was a matter of a group of people to check back and forth.

These twists and turns, will the people be unclear in their hearts?

They had long been dissatisfied with the bureaucracy and against the emperor who was in high heaven. Otherwise, there would not have been a robbery of military rations.

So when they heard that the food they had given over the years was actually distributed secretly by Ren Yi, the people would understand everything.

"In this way, if we intervene in the investigation of the looting of military rations, the people will not resist."

Xia Qingyang's words made the logic of the plan very smooth.

Ren Yi suddenly realized.

"Sir really knows a lot and has been taught."

"Your Highness, don't exalt me, let's call me Qingyang."

"Okay." Ren Yi smiled, "But ...... senior brother you are talking about?" ”

"It's the brothers who came out of the same school as me. Two of them had already set off one step ahead of time to gather intelligence. The senior brother in the capital, I told him to wait in the next town and introduce him to His Highness when the time comes. ”

The senior brother Xia Qingyang is referring to, of course, He Minghua, Su Quan and Ye Jingqing.

Ren Yi readily agreed.

Xia Qingyang was already dressed at this time, so the two stopped chatting.

As soon as she put on her hat, the two of them returned to the front hall.

It's still the set that Xia Qingyang showed to Concubine An. It's just that this time Xia Qingyang also made his shoulders a little wider.

came out after being fully dressed, even Lin Menglong had to admit that Xia Qingyang was dressed like this, and he couldn't tell that she was a woman.

"But as soon as you speak, aren't they all exposed?" Lin Menglong frowned slightly, "Or, dumb military division?" ”

Xia Qingyang was amused.

She found that the soldiers she had come into contact with were all very serious in appearance, but they were actually quite interesting.

"I've just learned some pseudophonics." As soon as Xia Qingyang opened his mouth, a deep male voice directly shocked Lin Menglong, "What does Brother Lin think, can you still recognize it like this?" ”

“……”

Ren Yi rarely saw Lin Menglong's deflated appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "I have heard that Qingyang will have a lot of strange skills, and he can also pretend to be a man's voice, I don't want to be like this, it seems to be more manly than Lao Lin." ”

Lin Menglong was a little speechless about who was more manly than a little girl.

But he was also amazed.

Because Xia Qingyang really learned too similarly.

Not only the external "shape" of her voice and figure, but even her tone, gait, and gestures, she specifically imitated the habits of men.

Looking at it this way, this disguise is really flawless.

"But the fly in the ointment is that these eyes are still too beautiful and too easy to find." Ren Yi suddenly raised his hand to lift the veil of Xia Qingyang's hat.

I saw that although Xia Qingyang also wore a black veil inside, his exposed eyes were smart and beautiful.

Xia Qingyang blinked, knowing that Ren Yi was teasing her again.

The conversation between the two in the back room was more like friends than between the king and the minister, the lord and the strategist.

exchanged each other's secret thoughts, and naturally brought the distance a lot closer.

However, she is now a "man", how can she continue to be unilaterally teased by Ren Yi.

Xia Qingyang then took Ren Yi's hand: "From now on, this pair of eyes guarded by His Royal Highness Lao will be in the future." ”

Ren Yi laughed: "What's so difficult about this, whoever dares to commit it, just swing a sword for you." ”

Lin Menglong suddenly felt that he was a little redundant here.

-

The three of them did not stay much in the tea house.

After Ren Yi and Lin Menglong also took out their respective horses, the three of them rode in the direction of the village.

The rooster crows at dawn, the early morning.

Empress Yin sat in a slightly shabby, but neatly cleaned thatched house, quietly looking out the window.

She had a white veil on her face, and she had been waiting here for almost two hours.

Two hours ago, Ren Yi brought her here, saying that this was the home of her former comrades-in-arms, and told her to rest and wait for them to come.

If everything was normal, Qingyang and they should have arrived a long time ago. Maybe it's something happened on the road.

"Girl." A call in her ear called her back to God.

Empress Yin turned her head and saw the peasant woman in front of her hesitating, and couldn't help asking, "Auntie, am I delaying your rest here?" ”

"No delay, no delay." The peasant woman waved her hand again and again, "I—I'm just asking you if you want to go to sleep for a while." I'm tired of you when you sit here all the time. ”

The peasant woman's simple, straightforward but caring words made Queen Yin slightly stunned.

In the palace, everyone respects her as a queen.

But the peasant woman in front of her did not know who she was, but showed her most genuine concern.

"It's okay, you just treat this place as your own home." Seeing that Queen Yin didn't speak, the peasant woman thought that she was out of recognition, so she comforted her, "The eldest princess, she is very good to us ordinary people, unlike other officials, there is no arrogance at all." There is kindness to our family, so we help the eldest princess entertain you, and that's all right. ”

When Empress Yin heard this, she couldn't help asking, "How do you say this?" ”

"That's it...... Oh, are you asking me for any kind. ”

The peasant woman smiled, with pride in her smile, but also revealed a trace of unknown sadness, "The two sons of my family, they both joined the army in the early years, and they are comrades-in-arms with the eldest princess, and when they went home to visit relatives, they were very happy to tell me that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess could take care of them in the barracks." ”

Empress Yin nodded, and at the same time asked the peasant woman to sit down and speak, don't stand.

The peasant woman embarrassedly pulled over a chair and sat opposite Queen Yin—

Although Empress Yin has always behaved very easy-going and gentle, the peasant woman still feels that she is not like an ordinary lady, so she can't let go of talking in front of Empress Yin.

But when it came to her son, the peasant woman couldn't hold back and wanted to show off to outsiders.

She told Empress Yin many interesting stories about her two sons when they were young, all the way to their joining the army.

After joining the army, because she rarely saw her son, the peasant woman mostly talked about "listening to the neighbors" and "listening to passers-by", which battle the army in which the son participated, and where to station next.

"Tiezhu Niang, aren't you going to go into the city to catch the market today, why haven't you come out yet, who are you talking to?" Before the excitement ended, the shouts of neighbors were heard outside the courtyard.

The peasant woman pulled her neck and replied.

Empress Yin: "Auntie, you don't have to worry about me, just go if you have something." ”

"No, no, no, how can you leave a guest at home alone. And you are a girl from a family, what if you want to go out to fetch water and drink, and you get lost and meet bad people. ”
