Mrs. Li was reluctant, so she said, "Dayong, let's have a meal and go back." I'll let Fu Niu'er cook your favorite dishes!"

Li Dayong refused, and responded, "Auntie, this time there is really no effort." Master Hou is not here, and the responsibility of guarding the dock is heavy, so I dare not be careless at all. It's just that the 200 wounded soldiers were all returned from the Jiangbei battlefield, which is not easy, and it is bothering our family to take care of one or two more. ”

"What a stupid thing to say!" Mrs. Li glared at him and scolded, "You kid, what's wrong with it!" You also said that it was a family, so why do you still need to be so polite.

"These wounded soldiers are all killing barbarians with Hou Ye and Lao Si, not to mention that the purpose of going to Broken Gold Beach is to protect the safety of everyone, even if it is to live in the elderly, it should be.

"Don't worry, you won't treat them badly!"

Li Dayong raised his hand and gently slapped himself, and coaxed the old lady with a smile, "It's all my stupid mouth, and I said it wrong." Auntie, don't be the same as me, punish me for coming back next time to buy roast chicken for your old man. ”

Everyone laughed along, but Mrs. Li patted the back of his hand and said, "It's not important to roast chicken, you guys, it's all safe and sound."

"Now that there is no one at home with you in the barracks, you must be very tired alone, but you can also persevere. It's going to get better soon, and when the time comes, I'll be reunited with Hui Niang and the child, and the days will be happy! ”

"Okay, auntie, I'm looking forward to that time." Li Dayong nodded heavily and responded.

After a few more gossips, he got up and took his leave, and the gates of the city would be closed in the evening.

Jiayin happened to come from the stove, and Shui Ling behind him carried two baskets, seeing this, Jiayin smiled.

"Uncle Dayong, I guess you can't stay to eat. So, some meatballs were fried temporarily, and dozens of pies were baked. You bring it all back, just boil some porridge, it's dinner. ”

Li Dayong was not polite at all, took it with a smile and instructed, "If there is something, someone must tell me." ”

With that, he took the men with him.

The defense of the dock is important, and he can't leave anyone for a moment, and if he wasn't too worried about his family, he wouldn't have made this trip......

After sending Li Dayong, everyone ate dinner while talking about trivial matters.

And the broken gold beach outside the city is still in full swing, with torches everywhere, shining inside and out.

The produce of the mountains and fields was quickly recovered.

Similarly, the manors of the Liu family, the Jia family, and the Xing family.

This kind of movement is not small, and naturally a neighboring manor found out, and it is very suspicious.

When they got to know better, they were crazy again.

Although the drought is severe, any manor has some back-ups, such as a few deep wells.

Therefore, the crops and vegetables on the manor have been reduced, but there are still four or five points left.

But at this time, it is not ripe, wouldn't it be a pity to harvest back, they are reluctant......

Therefore, the heads of the villages everywhere were not in a hurry, and planned to report to the master's house the next day to ask what was going on......

It's a pity that they don't know that the moment is fleeting, and what they are most afraid of is waiting.

In this way, some people are busy, some people watch the lively dark night, and some people are running on the road or dragging their families and insisting on moving forward.

When the sun jumped out of the horizon again, the soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the displaced people below who had increased by three or four times, and couldn't help but gasp, and almost dropped the waist knife in his hand......

The news was quickly transmitted, and the commander on duty yawned and stepped forward to take a look, and he was also frightened to wake up instantly.

When did these ragged, yellow-skinned, numb and desperate homeless people occupy most of the open space outside the city gates?

When were the broken sheds under the city walls erected with branches, broken planks, and linoleum?

It must be reported immediately!

The commander secretly scolded himself for being unlucky, but he was in a hurry to take the shift this day, he knew that this was the case, even if he was looking for an excuse to take a few days off, he could avoid it......

Because the queen passed away and there was no funeral yet, the big and small court meetings were stopped, but the government could not be delayed.

Therefore, the imperial study has become a temporary court, and from time to time six important ministers have gathered to discuss matters.

And the emperor died of his wife, but he still endured the "grief" to deal with political affairs, and the courtiers who were clever were not less slapped!

At this time, Manager Yi brought the emperor's dictation and ordered five or six of the courtiers who were crying to discuss matters in the imperial study.

The rest of the courtiers saw that their colleagues were ordered to be "lazy", and their eyes were red with envy.

And the courtiers who managed to escape were also proud in their hearts, but unfortunately regretted it after a while.

They entered the imperial study, and before their buttocks could sit hot, the news of the city defense came up.

The number of refugees has increased rapidly, reaching 3,000, and I am afraid of accidents!

Whether it was the emperor and the crown prince, or the courtiers who were full of superiority, they were shocked for a long time and did not speak.

Of course, I don't know what to say even if I want to.

In fact, this result can be regarded as expected, but it has not happened, and everyone is lying to themselves with their heads covered, stealing a few days of leisure.

Now it's suddenly shocking, and I really can't accept it!

The emperor was the first to get angry, "When did you gather so many people?" Why didn't you report it sooner?! ”

The commander of the city defense immediately responded, "Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly, there were only a few homeless people yesterday, and the ministers did not let them enter the city, for fear of disturbing the funeral of the queen's mother."

"Unexpectedly, the number of people skyrocketed overnight! Now they are all gathered at the gate of the city, if someone instigates a few words, it is very easy to cause a riot, and please ask the emperor to show how to deal with it. ”

The emperor was impetuous, and wanted to scold a few words, but was persuaded by the prince.

"Father, the emperor is angry, your dragon body matters. Something has happened, and there is always a way to fix it. ”

The rest of the courtiers also nodded and said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, the emperor is angry. Natural disasters are like this, and manpower can't resist them. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The only way to do this now is to arrange the displaced people as soon as possible, so as not to cause chaos. ”

"Also, how do the state capitals in the south take care of the people, so many displaced people were formed in a day, why didn't the state capitals report it!"

The emperor rubbed his swollen and aching temples, and when he was about to speak, Manager Yi had already walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, the emergency report from the southwest has arrived!"

Southwest?

Everyone was shocked, could it be that the foreign enemy at the southwest border pass had also begun to attack?!

The prince saw that the emperor didn't speak, so he said, "Present it!" ”

Manager Yi hurriedly held the music fold in his hand above his head, and the prince wanted to pass it to the emperor, but the emperor waved his hand.

Whether it's escapism or timidity, in short, the lord of a country also has times when he is tired and tired, and he really doesn't want to see any bad news.

What's more, the residual poison that had not been completely removed before was still slowly damaging his body, and his energy had been getting worse and worse recently......

The prince understood, opened the fold and read it quickly, and his face became ugly.

At this time, the emperor and the courtiers were curious and worried.

The prince is steady, rarely moody, and his face has changed like this, which shows that things are definitely not small.
