Xu Jingluo paused, turned his head to look at Runtian and Yibao, who were playing with other children, and said: "Runtian and Yibao are still young and don't understand these truths, I'm afraid they will tell other children inadvertently, so for the sake of safety, let's keep them in the dark." ”

"Okay." Everyone listened and responded in unison.

Xu Jingluo pondered for a moment and said: "We can first ask the soldiers of the Northern Liang for water to drink and something to eat, whether we can ask for it or not, we will claim that the things are from the soldiers of the Northern Liang, and then generously give a little to the people to enjoy, how about it?" ”

"Fourth sister is so smart, I raise my hands in approval!" Xu Jingan raised his thumb and said, "In this way, the people know that our things are from the soldiers of the Northern Liang, so they don't need us to explain more." ”

"Yes."

Xu Jingluo bowed slightly, seeing that the other people had no objections, so he straightened his clothes, walked quickly in the direction where the scar-faced man was, and said by the throat: "Uncle, okay, we are hungry and thirsty, and we are very uncomfortable, please give us some water and things to pad our stomachs!" ”

"Stop, don't get close!"

The scar-faced man was shocked when he saw her coming towards him, and hurriedly pulled out his broadsword, and ordered her: "Stop immediately, turn around and retreat into the crowd, your luggage and mule carts, I have just asked my men to bring them, it won't be long before they can keep up, and then the goods will return to their original owners, starvation and thirst are inevitable, so bear with them for the time being!" ”

When Xu Jingluo heard this, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, then let's bear with it a little longer." ”

When it was almost dark, everyone's carts were loaded with untouched luggage, and the soldiers of the Northern Liang followed the team, and they endured for a long time, so that the people could have water and food to eat a full meal.

Xu Jingluo took out some silver and gave it to the scar-faced man, trying to get close to him, and learned that he was a seven-rank captain of the Northern Army in Beiliang Town, surnamed Weng and named Hongyao. As the conversation began, she took the opportunity to ask about something.

"Captain Weng, do you know what Emperor Jing'an plans to do with the people in distress in our Southern Zhou?"

The scar-faced man tore a chicken leg and chewed it on the other, and told Xu Jingluo: "As far as I know, all the people of Southern Zhou, whether rich or poor, will be brought to Shuanglong City in Northern Liang by the forbidden army and taken care of by the unified army. ”

"Double Dragon City?" Xu Jingluo bowed slightly when he heard this, and secretly remembered it in his heart.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Then, how long does it take to get from here to Ssangyong City?" ”

The scar-faced man wiped his mouthful of oil, looked at Xu Jingluo, and said, "Shuanglong City is in the north of our Beiliang, and if you walk and add waterways, it will take about seven or eight months!" ”

When Xu Jingluo heard this, his brows tightened, and he secretly thought: Now, no matter what, it will be difficult for the big guy to escape from the control of the Northern Liang army.

After a few casual conversations, the scar-faced man went to explain the soldiers' errands, while Xu Jingluo dragged his lead-filled legs and hung his head to beat the crowd.

As soon as everyone saw her, they greeted her one after another, and they had already seen Xu Jingluo chatting with the scar-faced man just now.

"Miss Xu, what's the matter? Did you ask for any useful information? Feng Yongsheng opened his mouth first, looked at Xu Jingluo with a nervous face, and said, "How will the Northern Liang barbarians arrange for us, the Southern Zhou wanderers?" ”

Xu Jingluo exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "That Captain Weng told me just now that everyone will be escorted to Shuanglong City in Beiliang, as for the specific arrangement, he doesn't know very well, it depends on Emperor Jing'an's meaning!" Hey, I'm just afraid that there will be more luck and less luck! ”

When everyone heard this, they all bowed their heads and were silent, they had already prepared for the worst, the Southern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, the emperor ran away, they, the people of Li, were naturally fish and meat on the board, and they were slaughtered by others!

After the scene was quiet for a moment, Xu Jingluo glanced at Feng Yongsheng, Qian Yulan and the others, and asked solemnly: "Everyone should think about it, either stay here and be sent by others, or go to Shuanglong City with our family." Either way, it's up to you to decide. ”

The big guys listened, and after thinking about it again, they all agreed to follow Xu Jingluo to Shuanglong City. Through these few times of getting along, they all decided that Xu Jingluo was a far-sighted and wise girl, and she would not suffer if she followed!

"Miss Xu, if I can go to Shuanglong City with you, it is much better than staying here and looking at other people's eyes!"

"That's right, at least we can unite and help each other in the same boat! It's just that I'm tired on the road, and we can bear it! ”

"They all have a point. Miss Xu, I also think that going to Ssangyong City is a long-term solution. In the future, maybe you can settle down there and start a small business or something, no matter what, it's better than wandering around here and sleeping in the open! ”

"So, have you made up your mind?" Xu Jingluo's gaze roamed around everyone's faces, and he said with a serious face.

"Uh-huh! We are willing to follow Miss Xu to Ssangyong City together! Everyone nodded heavily and said in unison.

Seeing this, Xu Jingluo bowed his head slightly, looking like a leader, and said with his hands behind his back: "Okay, since that's the case, let's go to Shuanglong City together and make another living there!" However, this trip is a long way, you still need to be prepared for a long journey, but also beware of illness, try not to have a headache and brain fever in the middle of the road, otherwise I am afraid it will be more troublesome! ”

"Okay, everything is according to Miss Xu's orders!"

After the discussion was made, everyone yawned long, and went to find a place to sleep, because they had not slept much because of the long and continuous journey, and everyone was so sleepy that they lay down on the grass and soon fell asleep.

The next day, after a simple breakfast, the scar-faced man ordered his soldiers to escort the people and set off on their journey.

From morning to dusk, except for the stove to make lunch, no one stayed too long on the way, and as soon as the team arrived at a place called Meilong Town, the scar-faced man ordered everyone to squat under a tea shed and wait for someone from the barracks to come over.

It didn't take long for a group of soldiers wearing Xuantie armor to gallop from the capital on horseback, and it wasn't until they saw Weng Hongyao that they pulled the reins and stopped.

The leader is a burly lieutenant, born with a face, and at first glance he knows that he is a ruthless person, which is daunting.

He jumped off his horse, and after talking to Weng Hongyao for a while, he walked to the tea shed, glanced around the crowd, and ordered them all to raise their heads.

The crowd did not dare to disobey, so they had to do as they were told.

When Xu Jingluo revealed her face that was alluring to the country and the city, Du Wei's eyes straightened, and the corners of his mouth curved out of an arc that wanted to drool.

"Yo, I didn't expect there to be such a stunning beauty here! Behave, let me touch your white and tender face! ”
