Chapter 64: Separate Actions

Wen Tiantian is twenty years old, and it is obviously not appropriate to go to the academy as a student. Being a teaching assistant can both skip classes and get a salary, which is also a good job.

Regarding this matter, Fang Qiuyan's attitude is neither support nor opposition, as long as she is happy, she can come however she wants.

After listening to his words, Su Zihe felt a little ridiculous: "Childe, you and Miss Wen are only about to have an engagement banquet, and everyone knows her identity." A prospective princess goes to the academy to do chores, and I'm afraid it's not good to spread it. ”

"If Miss Wen wants to learn something, I can help her choose a few teachers from the palace to teach, and there is no need to work in the academy run by thousands of families."

Nianying Academy was established by Qian Shiyue to commemorate her mother who died of illness, Liu Nianying is a talented woman who moved to the capital more than ten years ago, and her daughter Qian Shiyue is even more talented. It's just that she is jealous and famous, after marrying into a thousand families, she concentrated on her husband and children, and was neglected because she hurt her body during childbirth and was difficult to conceive, and she was depressed for many years, and died of illness when her daughter was sixteen years old.

However, Qian Shiyue was very competitive, she inherited her mother's talent at a young age, and she was born beautiful, and after she became famous, she built a academy to recruit wise men and cultivate elite talents for the imperial court. After Fang Qiuyan, the second son of the palace, became the regent after repeated military exploits, Qian Shiyue attracted even more attention, and almost all the people in the capital circle acquiesced that she was Fang Qiuyan's future princess, but she didn't expect that a mysterious woman would be hidden by Fang Wangye's golden house halfway.

Seeing that Qiu Yan didn't speak, Su Zihe handed him the details of the military fee, and continued thoughtfully: "Childe, Miss Shiyue's character is naturally trustworthy, but when Miss Wen goes to Nianying Academy, she will inevitably hear some things about you and her, and I am afraid that the relationship with the two of you will not be good." ”

"My affair with her. What do I have to do with her? ”

Fang Qiuyan quickly flipped through the accounts and pointed out the part of the Southeast Military Region to him: "Although this place has been affected by disasters, it cannot affect the armament. Next year's conscription scale and assessment system should be the same as in previous years, and it is not allowed to lower the requirements in order to take care of the disaster victims. There are no other problems, just pay attention to the implementation of military spending. ”

Returning the account to Su Zihe, Fang Qiuyan leaned back on the chair and touched the small mask on his face casually with his fingertips, a slight stinging pain came from the scar on his eyelid, and he couldn't help pinching his eyebrows.

"Zihe, I understand Shiyue's thoughts, but you also know that I have always only had brother and sister feelings for her, and I have never meant to be male or female. You are not young anymore, if you have a heart for her, take advantage of this time to take advantage of the opportunity. ”

Su Zihe, who had just put away the ledger and was about to leave, paused and opened his mouth: "Where do you see that I like her?" ”

Fang Qiuyan stood up with a low chuckle, patted her brother's shoulder, and teased: "She must have come to you a lot when I wasn't there, right?" Bystander Qing, you two must have a play! ”

"Brother, if you are a man, you must take the initiative and seize the opportunity to marry your daughter-in-law as soon as possible!"

Su Zihe's whole person was petrified, and he watched Fang Qiuyan walk out of the study for some reason, but what appeared in his mind was the shadow of Qian Shiyue.

What do I like about Shiyue?

Unlikely!

As Fang Qiuyan expected, there was a man outside Yuzhou City at this time who was jumping his feet.

"Bastard bastard! A group of dog officials want to give the master a horse, and they don't look at how many catties and taels they have! ”

Ye Shiyuan was so angry that he turned over and dismounted and was about to rush up to beat someone, but Huang Xiaozhi and Zuo Qiu Yue quickly grabbed him.

"Calm down, Mr. Ye! The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, let's solve things not to fight, you are so impulsive and easy to have an accident! ”

Ye Shiyuan shook off the two of them and clenched his fists to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Something? Hmph, I'm afraid it's their dogs who have an accident! ”

He hurried to the southeast as fast as he could, and everywhere was a desolate scene. Along the way, the houses were dilapidated, the fields were barren, and the corpses of people who had died of starvation and disease were lying in the weeds.

As early as the beginning of the disaster, the household department allocated silver taels and a large number of materials for disaster relief, but the local government refused to open a warehouse to release grain, and the aid property was also lost.

"We also met a lot of displaced people along the way, but we never heard that they had received food and silver money from the imperial court, which is enough to see how corrupt the government here is." Zuo Qiuyue glanced at Ye Shiyuan, who was bruised and bruised, and said lightly, "It's useless for you to be angry, you have to find a way to solve things is the right way." The entire southeast is shrouded in black mist, obviously invaded by evil energy, and the top priority is to find the initiator, first disperse the black mist, and overtake the unjust soul, and then slowly rebuild. ”

Among the three people, Ye Shiyuan was very angry, Huang Xiaozhi was obviously a little flustered and timid, only the mature Zuo Qiu Yue was not affected and could calmly analyze the current situation.

"Sister Zuoqiu, I'...... I was a little scared. ”

The little girl encountered such a big thing when she came out for the first time, the enemy was strong and good at concealment, Huang Xiaozhi began to feel homesick when she arrived at the city gate.

"Otherwise, let's go back and find Master Simo, if he doesn't have time, call my sister over. Anyway, we definitely need help, and there's no shame in asking someone to help in this situation, right? ”

Seeing that the little girl was chirping and wanted to retreat, Zuo Qiu Yue glanced at her, and said angrily: "What are you afraid of, don't you still have me?" Don't think about going to Huangquan if you have nothing to do, there are many people who have died in the past half a year, and she is so busy that she can't take care of you! ”

"Don't worry, Lord Simo didn't say no, you go and report the situation to him and see what he says."

Huang Xiaozhi nodded silently to do things, Zuo Qiu Yue patted Ye Shiyuan's back, and said in a cool tone: "Yuzhou City is the most severely affected place, the two of us are responsible for finding the lair of the evil magician, you calm down and go about your own business." ”

"Friendly reminder, there is a stronghold of the peasant rebel army ten kilometers away, if you can't beat it, join it, it's not a shame!"

What does it mean to join if you can't beat it? He was sent by the imperial court, so what happened to join the peasant rebel army?

Ye Shiyuan didn't bother to argue with her, exhaled a sullen breath and turned on the horse.

"Where are you going?"

"Stronghold."

The personable Mr. Ye was no longer a boy after running around for days, his smiling eyebrows and eyes were full of exhaustion, and he didn't bother to say anything, and he rode directly to the stronghold of the peasant rebel army.

Huang Xiaozhi was about to follow, but Zuo Qiuyue suddenly grabbed her arm and shook her head.

"Sister Zuoqiu, didn't you say you wanted to follow him, why didn't you follow him again?"

"He's going to negotiate, and we're going to get down to business. Mortals can't see these black fogs, but there are still many living people in the city, and if they can't get out, they will be infested by the black fog, which is the real source of the epidemic. ”

Looking back at Huang Xiaozhi, Zuo Qiu Yue advised: "Girl, Xifeng's national fortunes are all supported by Fang Qiuyan, and after entering the city, when you heal the people in the Ming place, you must show that you are on the side of the regent, so as to stabilize the people's hearts." ”

The little girl nodded as if she didn't understand, Zuo Qiu Yue looked at her big eyes and softened a little, and reached out to touch the girl's head, "Don't be afraid, I will protect your safety in the dark." I believe that with Ye Shiyuan's ability, we will be able to send medicinal materials and food soon, let's act separately, it doesn't matter how strong the enemy is, it won't be long before the black fog will dissipate. ”

"Well, I'm not afraid, I'll try."

The little girl rubbed her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable. After carefully noting Zuo Qiu Yue's deployment, he walked towards a hidden corner outside the city, and his figure flickered through the wall.

Zuo Qiu Yue waved his hand, and the whole person turned into a faint green smoke and disappeared in place.

The peasant rebel army was not difficult to find, Ye Shiyuan rode his horse and ran for more than half an hour before he saw three small tents in a clear field from a distance, and his eyes lit up and he sped up.

"Stop! Who are you! ”

An old man dressed as a farmer stopped him with a hoe, Ye Shiyuan raised his eyebrows and didn't reply in a hurry. He jumped off his horse, patted the dust off his body, and looked around before saying, "You are the rebel army?" ”

"What's the matter, should you be sent by the imperial court?"

The old man was very alert, obviously hungry and only had a handful of bones left, but he still questioned carefully and responsibly.

Ye Shiyuan smiled: "Do you think I look like a person from the imperial court?" Is there any official who is so embarrassed as I am? ”

"Big brother, I'm from out of town, and when I saw your tent here, I was curious to come over and have a look, and I wanted to ask for some water and dry food by the way. But depending on your situation, it doesn't matter if there's nothing superfluous, it's okay for me to rest, right? ”

"We're not a place to rest." The old man did not let go, and was still very vigilant.

Ye Shiyuan pondered for a moment, turned around and went back to untie the dry food bag he was carrying from the horse, and took out half of the dry bread and handed it to the old man.

"Big brother, I don't have much dry food. Seeing that you are not hungry, you can take this bread and eat it first, and I will give you a share of the rest, how much to cushion your stomach. ”

When he saw the bread, the old man's eyes straightened, and he didn't care to speak, grabbed the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. sat on the ground with a hoe thrown aside, and let Ye Shiyuan bypass him and walk towards the tent.

Leading his horse and carrying dry food in his hand, Ye Shiyuan stopped five meters away from the tent.

Seven or eight men of all ages came out of the tent with farm tools in their hands and stared at the cloth bag in Ye Shiyuan's hand.

"Hand over what you eat, or ......"

"Otherwise what?" Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Ye Shiyuan snorted and raised the dry food bag in his hand, "Otherwise, are you going to grab it or eat it with me?" ”

"Don't look at me like that! My dry food is limited, I can't manage your next meal, and how many more days can I carry it if I grab it? ”

A man in his early thirties stepped forward and rushed over to grab it without saying a word. A cold light flashed in Ye Shiyuan's eyes, he wrapped the dry food in his arms and grabbed the man's neck with one hand, and said coldly: "The thing is mine, I won't give it, you can't grab it!" ”

The fingers tightened more and more, and several onlookers were stunned, staring wide-eyed as their companions were choked and dying. They never thought that the young Ye Shiyuan looked like a weak scholar on the surface, but he was so ruthless when he moved, killing people if he didn't agree with him, he was a devil in human skin at all.

The peasants did not dare to come closer, and watched as the man gradually lost his life. Ye Shiyuan waved his hand and threw the man back, falling to the ground with a thud, his body twitching involuntarily.

"He's not dead." Ye Shiyuan clapped his hands, touched his dry food and glanced at everyone, "I can share this food with you, but remember, no one is allowed to rob it!" ”

The remaining farmers agreed, but one of them lost his farming tools, and the rest followed suit.

There were eight farmers stationed here, and Ye Shiyuan asked them to call out the ones in the tent, there were only twelve people in total. But the problem is that he only has three half-bread flatbreads left in his hand, and each person can only get half the size of a palm.

With the idea of being able to eat a bite, Ye Shiyuan took out all the dough cakes, put a cloth bag and cut them on the ground with a knife.

"Go to the queue and come and get them one by one. Whoever dares to rob me will kill him, and the extra share can just be distributed to others. ”

He said the ugly words in front, and the knife shining with cold light in his hand made everyone dare not make a mistake, and honestly stood in a row.

Ye Shiyuan held the knife in one hand, and picked up the cake with the other hand and distributed it unhurriedly. When all the bread was divided, he took the remaining piece in his hand and walked over to the man who had collapsed to the ground.

"This one is yours, eat it."

The dry and hard dough was stuffed into the palm of his hand, and the man who slowly regained his strength moved his arm to get up, Ye Shiyuan held him down, and said coldly: "Don't worry, the acupoint will wait for a while to unravel, you eat first." ”

The man couldn't speak with tears in his eyes, and he bit the cake dryly.

Ye Shiyuan glanced at him, "The man doesn't flick when he has tears, you kid is still a little bloody." If you don't want to die, follow me, if you have a bite to eat, you won't starve to death. ”
