Liu Yunxi saw that Zhang Qian was absent-minded eating, so he asked, "Do you mind changing paths this time?" ”

Zhang Qian said: "It's not true, I'm just thinking about buying a carriage in Youping Town for you to use." ”

"It's a good thing to buy a carriage, I do a good horseback."

Liu Yunxi looked at Zhang Qian and said, "What are you doing?" Could it be that my men's clothes are not good-looking? ”

"Of course it's good-looking, but it's a little dazzling."

"Piercing? Could it be that my men's clothes are so handsome that you are ashamed of yourself? ”

Zhang Qian smiled: "It's just because your chest muscles are too big." ”

Liu Yunxi clasped his hands around his chest and scolded: "Shameless! ”

The night passed like this, but after the second day, Zhang Rui, who was a young general, slipped out of his general's tent every night until the capital and went to Mo Chenghong's camp.

Although some sharp-eyed soldiers had already discovered it after that, no one had to break through these things, but they were just quietly used as talking points when the major general and Mo Chenghong were not there.

Youping Town is a small town on the border of Chengguo, which has just been recovered by Chengguo, and the people have not escaped far before they heard that the city has been recovered, but after returning to Youping Town, the town was looted.

But according to what Chengguo said to the people, it will compensate the residents of Youping Town.

In recent days, the materials transferred from other places have barely given the people of Youping Town hope to live, if there is no transportation of these materials, I am afraid that these people can only flee to various places.

Every day, there will be a pergola porridge built by the government in Youping Town, and the people of Youping Town can barely survive.

Of course, not everyone will rely on soup soup to live, some families have long known that there are soldiers pressing the border, carrying all their belongings, heading to the east, and there are many far-sighted people, hiding food in cellars, and after the recovery, what should they do.

Today's Youping Town is in ruins, in fact, other recovered places are like this, the silver used to subsidize the people will wait until the indemnity of the Yue Kingdom, and some of them will be taken out to help the victims, and the rest will be collected into the national treasury.

In addition to subsidizing the silver taels, there will also be a reduction or exemption of taxes in this place for recuperation, all of which are the responsibility of the Lord Qincha sent by His Majesty the Emperor, if any local officials dare to disobey their orders, the Qincha has the right to take off their official uniforms and hats, and wait for the trial of the three divisions of the Criminal Department, the Imperial History Doctor, and the Dali Temple Judge.

Although it is said that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, most officials still dare not use the money to enrich their own pockets.

Zhang Qian and his entourage entered Youping Town under the banner of Zhang Jiajun, the town is not too big, and now there are not a few shops on both sides of the road, but compared to the previous few towns, the situation of empty buildings can be regarded as much better.

Because they either came to Youping Town as a border army or a border army, they were invited by the newly arrived county officials to live in the county office.

Today's county officials have few officials except for the newly transferred county official and his master.

As for the former county magistrate, he has been beheaded, abandoned the city and fled, and those who did not fight were beheaded.

This is also an iron law, so these county officials at the border are all afraid, afraid that one day, they will be attacked by the enemy, and their fate is not only to fight to the death, but to be beheaded by His Majesty the Emperor afterwards.

However, for the family of the county official, the law of Chengguo is not held accountable, unless it is a collaboration with the enemy and treason and surrender without a fight, and will be beheaded all over the house, and the family is not held accountable for abandoning the city and fleeing.

The county government is now temporarily taken over by the soldiers stationed here to put grain and soup and maintain order in Youping Town.

The county officials sent here will have the right to manage the dispatch of soldiers in the jurisdiction at this time, of course, this also requires the consent of the military commander in the jurisdiction, and it is absolutely impossible to put it in peacetime.

Finally didn't have to be in the wild, Liu Yunxi took a bath for herself very wastefully, of course, before entering the city, she had already told Zhang Qian to pay attention to a young woman.

Zhang Rui didn't have to guess, she knew that she was looking out for the assassin.

Now the people of Youping Town, who have returned to their hometowns, are still in an endless stream, and the war comes and goes quickly, and it is only less than three months ago, and the fall and recovery have been completed in one go, and there is no such wonderful story in the book.

Although the soldiers guarding the city had never seen Zhang Qian, he knew the tooth flag, and Zhang Jiajun's tooth flag was so powerful and domineering.

Zhang Qian said this to the city guards, and the city guards hurriedly patted their chests and promised that they would not disappoint Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian also left a few soldiers to keep an eye on him, and once the city guard found out about the accident, they immediately followed to confirm.

It's just that it's already evening, and there is still not a single suspicious figure at the city gate.

Liu Yunhua looked at the endless stream of people returning to the city, a little unclear about the situation, standing a distance from the city gate, Liu Yunhua frowned in a daze.

An old woman walked up to her and handed her a steamed bun, "Eat, little girl." ”

Liu Yunhua swallowed her saliva and didn't take it, the old woman smiled kindly and said, "It's okay, little girl, you can eat, this is what the old woman just received from the city." ”

"Mother-in-law, you..."

"Don't worry about me, I'm an old man, I only need to eat one at a time, but the officials in the city will each give out two, and a bowl of rice porridge. I can't eat my wife alone, so I will bring it back every day, so as not to run again the next day. ”

Seeing the bitterness in Liu Yunhua's eyes, the old woman said again: "Little girl, you don't have to worry about me, I think you didn't have enough to look at Youping, right?" It's okay, the old woman can still go to get it tomorrow, so that she can drink an extra bowl of porridge, and besides, the grain release in the city is over today, and you won't have anything to eat if you go again. ”

Liu Yunhua took the steamed bun, how many days did Liu Yunhua, who had not eaten serious food, swallow the steamed bun in a big gulp, and was choked for a while during the period, or the old woman helped hammer the back, so nothing happened.

It's funny to think that a martial arts master who is about to break through the realm of martial arts is about to be choked to death by a steamed bun.

"Son, did you flee and come back? Or is your hometown still in the west. ”

Liu Yunhua didn't know how to answer, so he could only lower his head and didn't know how to speak.

"Hey miserable child, your parents...?"

Liu Yunhua shook her head, the old woman sighed, and took Liu Yunhua's hand, "You don't have a place to live yet, right?" It just so happened that the old woman still had a place to live there, and a few clothes that you could hold. ”

Liu Yunhua let the old woman pull him away, but his vigilance was no longer let go, although he didn't know what the old woman was going to do, but Liu Yunhua didn't feel malice.

Now Liu Yunhua has been torn because of several assassinations and sleeping in the wilderness, to the point that he can only just cover his body.

The old woman said: "Look at your hands are full of calluses, but your skin is still so good, you must be a maid from a big family, right?" ”

"Hey, my hard-working doll used to be a maid for other people's big families, but compared to you, this skin can't be compared."

"Mother-in-law, your daughter...?"

The old woman smiled very relaxedly and said, "It's dead, I was beaten to death by the young master of that big family in the city a few years ago." ”

"Girl, don't worry, I have already seen the old woman, and there are still a few pieces of her old clothes at home, you can take them away, I look sad at the old woman of the province."

"Look at you all the time looking towards Youping Town, don't worry, girl, I live over there, very close to Youping Town, I guarantee that you can go to the queue early tomorrow."

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

"What's this, a person like you little girl's family should pay more attention when you're outside, girl, you haven't answered me yet, where are you?"

"I am the maid of a big family in a big city on the border, the Yue army invaded the city, I fled with the master's family, but we were separated halfway, I didn't hear that the lost land was regained now, so I thought about going back."

After speaking, Liu Yunhua actually sobbed, and he couldn't see the slightest sign of fraud.

After hearing this, the old woman's heart tightened, and she thought of her hard-working daughter, but she didn't cry, and she thought that she had dried up her tears in recent years.

"Alright, alright girl, don't cry, it's time to get to the old woman's yard."

The old man's home was indeed very close to the city, and there were still a few families here, but those families didn't seem to have any one to live in, and they should have fled for their lives a long time ago.

"Mother-in-law, those people?"

The old woman smiled and said, "They all went to run for their lives, and they haven't come back yet." ”

"Then mother-in-law, why didn't you run away?"

The old woman opened the courtyard door, sighed and said: "Child, mother-in-law, I have nowhere to escape, the old man died early, leaving me and my daughter, did you think that my daughter also left, this world is so big, there is no place for me to live as an old woman." ”

"I originally thought that those Yue people would come and give me a good time, but who would have thought that those people would come and go quickly, and before they could find my place, they would be beaten away."

The old woman's yard is not big, there are three thatched houses, and it looks like it is cleaned up quite well, and there is no sign of dilapidation.

"Girl, are you still hungry? The old woman also secretly hid some food here, you wait, I'll go and make you some food. ”

"Mother-in-law, don't need it, I'll be full of steamed buns just now."

Liu Yunhua told a lie and felt compassion for this old woman.

"Full?"

"That's right, mother-in-law, you see that I have thin arms and legs, and I am full after eating a steamed bun, when I was a girl in that big family, I was full after eating half a steamed bun every day."

"Really?"

"Really." Liu Yunhua turned around and said, "Mother-in-law, didn't you just say that you have clothes for me to wear?" I'm a little bit like this... Blame the embarrassment. ”

"Yes, yes, girl, you go into the house, and the old woman will go to find clothes for you."

Liu Yunhua followed the old man into the yard, the yard was not big, and there was a fenced ground, with messy footprints on it, as if it had been trampled on.
