Chapter Ninety-Three: The Southeast Road of Wind and Snow (Part I)

The five family members left quickly, and the people in the house were also waved away by Su Zihe.

Holding an umbrella in his hand, he walked step by step in the snow, thin snowflakes across the side of his face, but he didn't realize it.

The handsome Su Gongzi in white is a young man who has just passed twenty years old, and when there is no one around, the aura exuded by him is as warm as the early sun in winter, and he can't see the awe-inspiring arrogance of the young man at all, nor does he seem to be cautious and cautious after being immersed in officialdom for many years.

"Azusa Crane."

He looked carefully at the snow under his feet, stopped when he heard the sound, and looked up to see Qian Shiyue in a pink skirt and white fur standing in the corridor.

Su Zihe was slightly stunned, and then smiled.

"Shiyue."

The two stood in the wind and snow across the silver and white of the garden, but the smile in their eyes was like spring water, dispelling the cold.

Southeast, on the official road.

The three thousand sergeants rushed quickly, and the gold-topped carriage in the middle was running very fast, but it was very stable. From time to time, there are messengers to deliver letters, which shows that the nobles in the car are busy at this time.

Fang Qiuyan, who received the news, held a few bites of red date soup in his hand, not that he wanted to eat it, but that Wen Tiantian's little girl was playing tricks and wanted him to warm up his body.

"Qiu Yan, you have been suffering from eye pain lately, and this symptom may be related to the continuous hard work. Why don't you push things off and take a day off? ”

Wen Tiantian wrapped the quilt comfortably in the hand stove, her eyes stayed on the various messy letters in his hand, and couldn't help complaining, "It's also strange that this weather is cold, you have to eat some warm and cold-resistant medicinal food, but unfortunately you are in a hurry during this time, and you can't stop to let you recuperate." ”

Fang Qiuyan smiled bitterly, "Doctor Wen, with you staring at me every day, I will never be so tired that I hurt my body." That is, he was seriously injured before and needed to be so delicately raised, and in the past, he would have ridden a horse and whipped a horse, so why hide in the carriage. ”

"Still bragging! It's not the same as it used to be, and you still think you're iron-clad? Wen Tiantian pursed her lips, leaned over and snatched his spoon, and ate a large mouthful of red date soup by herself.

"The taste is not bad, but it is not sweet, and it is not as delicious as the shop that sells red date cakes on the street." After eating up the remaining half bowl of soup in two bites, he looked up and saw that he had opened a letter, so he looked over curiously, "Show me what you're up to?" ”

The envelope was opened, and inside it contained only a thin sheet of paper with a simple two lines of words written on it.

"Hey, something happened in the capital?"

Fang Qiuyan's expression did not change, and he only glanced at it and stuffed the letter back.

"All of this is to be expected. This is also the reason why I didn't let you enjoy the purity in the house alone, this time the rebellion in the capital has not even spared Qianshiyue, if you are left alone at home, it is inevitable that there will be trouble to find the door, and you will not be able to cope with it alone. ”

"Can't handle it? Don't underestimate people, I'm also very good at fighting! The little girl waved her fist, but was held by a big hand.

Fang Qiuyan shook his head with a smile, and dragged her into his arms, the warm fragrant nephrite lay on his chest, which made his heart soften, "It's your business that you can fight, I can't bear it." ”

"There will be no big mess when there is Zihe staring at the capital, he told us to go to the southeast with peace of mind, and there is no need to go back in a hurry."

Wen Tiantian stretched out a finger to draw a circle on his chest, and asked, "Su Zihe is just an imperial history, does he have a lot of power?" You seem to be relieved every time you leave the affairs of the capital to him. ”

"That's nature." Fang Qiuyan hooked the corners of his mouth, "He is the only grandson of the founding general Su Changli, a sixteen-year-old high school champion, and was arranged by his father to be an official in the Imperial History Stage. Later, this kid disliked his official position and was too idle, so he went to participate in the martial arts conference. ”

"Huh? He's still a martial arts master? ”

Wen Tiantian was surprised, Su Zihe gave her the impression that she had always been gentle and polite, and even had a stereotypical atmosphere that did not match her age in her bones, she was clearly a literati who only read sage books, where did she look like a bastard.

"Definitely." Fang Qiuyan was also interested when he said this, "He only went to that martial arts conference, and during the battle, he used a sword to fix the clouds, which changed the color of the heavens and the earth, and the sand and stones flew in the field, and then he won the position of the leader of the conference in one fell swoop, and he was in the limelight for a while." ”

But it's also interesting, he became famous in that battle, and the three words Hefengjun also made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes. But as soon as he walked out of Moyun City with his bags after the conference, he was arrested by the three generals sent by his father. ”

Fang Qiuyan smiled a little gloatingly, "I heard that he was severely punished by Uncle Su after he arrived home, and ordered him not to go out of the capital again unless he had official business, and he was not brought out of the house until I entered the Ping Wangfu after I returned." ”

Wen Tiantian couldn't cry or laugh when she heard it, "How do you feel that Master Su was miserable and funny when he was a teenager, no wonder he is now dressed in an old-fashioned and serious manner, this is suffocating." ”

"Old? He's not old, he's two years younger than me! This guy has been a younger brother since he was a child, and Ye Shiyuan and I have been spoiling him since we were older than him. Later, I led my troops to fight everywhere, and Ye Shiyuan was outside playing and helping him do things. ”

"No wonder, he was so worried when Ye Shiyuan was seriously injured and didn't wake up." Wen Tiantian is naturally very envious of the friendship of the three brothers, they all have their own achievements but they are not separated from each other, they can take care of each other and help each other, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are fairy friendships.

The two leaned in the carriage and talked about interesting things in the past, and the story of Su Zihe and Ye Shiyuan was sweet and funny and helpless.

Suddenly, the carriage, which was moving steadily, shook a few times and stopped,

"Lord Qiqi, there is a group of beggars in front of you who are confronting the escort car, look at the escort person of the car, it should be transporting food."

Fang Qiuyan lowered the curtains, he calculated that the time should have entered the southeast boundary at this moment, and a hundred kilometers further forward was Yuzhou City, which was the most severely affected. There was a large crowd of beggars in this area, most likely local displaced people.

"You send someone to see what the hell is going on."

The soldier ordered a few people at once and trotted over to investigate.

"Qiu Yan, this place has a yin and evil aura, it's not heavy, but it lingers."

Wen Tiantian glanced out through the open curtain, and a faint black mist could be seen fluttering on the icy and snowy plain.

"This is also a place affected by the locust plague, and it must have been dead, and it is normal to have yin qi."

If it is said that where people have died, there is a yin and evil spirit, then every land in the entire dynasty has experienced the baptism of war, where is not to bury bones. But this place is different, the locust plague has affected almost the entire southeast, most of the area has been more or less affected, the most serious Yuzhou city has become a ghost, and other places are also poor people.

One of the soldiers came back quickly, and he had come to report the news.

"Lord Wang, the front is a convoy of grain and grass sent from Qingzhou to support, this trip has transported a total of thirty-three cars, and when I came here, I met this group of displaced people to ask for food, but they had an escort task and couldn't put grain, so the two sides confronted each other."

Fang Qiuyan lifted the curtain and looked over again, and sighed: "The people in the southeast are running out, what's the use of transporting grain and grass." ”

"Tiantian, come with me and have a look."

Wen Tiantian nodded, took the coat and put it on him, and wrapped himself in a fox fur. Fang Qiuyan got out of the car first, took the umbrella in the driver's hand, and raised his hand to help Wen Tiantian and walked down.

"It's a little slippery, be careful."

The little girl secretly glanced at him, but her heart was sweet.

The two of them got out of the car and walked over slowly, and the two sides that had been facing each other to the point of a fight stopped and looked back at them in a daze.

A man and a woman are all richly dressed, the man holds a large umbrella with a golden handle and jade bone in his right hand, the purple and gold robe is quite aura, and the left hand is interlocked with the woman's ten fingers.

When the soldier saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly greeted them and saluted respectfully, "Lord and Princess, these people don't want to go to the grain, blocking the official road so that the escort convoy cannot pass, do they need to be driven?" ”

Fang Qiuyan's gaze was as calm as water, and he glanced at it and knew that the number of these displaced people was about four or five hundred, all of them with yellow muscles and thin skin, and there were many old and young women and children.

He didn't speak, and walked straight past the soldiers into the crowd. Several of the accompanying sergeants behind him glanced at each other and immediately followed.

It is impossible for the nobles in the court to have an intersection with the grass people, and most of the beggars will not reach out to these characters who are either rich or noble at first glance, they cannot afford to provoke them, and if they catch up with the nobles in a bad mood, they will even let the guards beat them to death and mutilation.

But Fang Qiuyan was different, he walked into the crowd in luxurious clothes, standing in the middle was extremely conspicuous, and everyone avoided everywhere he passed.

The person who came out of the carriage surrounded by thousands of officers and soldiers could no longer be described as rich and noble, and must be the one who held the power of the army.

"Are you a convoy carrying grain and grass to the disaster area?"

When the leading general saw him speak, he immediately stepped forward and responded: "Exactly." We were ordered by the regent to transport grain and grass from Qingzhou, which was a document issued by the Ministry of Households. ”

The general handed over the documents that had been prepared, and the sergeant behind stepped forward to take the documents and unfold them for Fang Qiuyan to look at.

"Yes, they didn't turn a deaf ear to the king's words."

His eyes swept over the many escorted soldiers, "This weather transports grain and grass, and the brothers are also hard, after returning to the errand, remember to go to your top boss, this king has another reward." ”

The weapons that everyone lowered slightly finally put down completely, and the general led by him took back the paperwork and hesitated for a moment before he dared to ask.

"Escorting grain and grass is within my equal responsibility, but I don't know where the nobles come from?"

Wen Tiantian, who was looking around, looked sideways at the man beside him when she heard this, and couldn't help but smile secretly: It's embarrassing, it's always low-key to let you go out, and no one in your subordinates knows you, the big prince.

Fang Qiuyan was not annoyed, and looked at the general, "You have guessed everything, and you still want to ask?" ”

The news of the Prince Regent's personal departure to the southeast had spread early in the morning on the day of their departure, and who could not have guessed his identity with such a fanfare march and the flag still hoisted?

The general instantly felt that the wind and snow around him were a little bigger, and he knelt down softly under his feet, and his body was straight.

"Participate in the prince!"

The sergeants behind him were dumbfounded for a moment, but they also knelt down reflexively.

Qi Qi shouted: "See the prince!" ”

This shout even shocked the ranks of hundreds of displaced people, and many people subconsciously knelt down. They don't know any big officials, but they are naturally in awe of the powerful.

Fang Qiuyan was still holding the umbrella, holding the woman's hand without moving at all, but a hint of helplessness appeared between her eyebrows.

"No need to be polite, get up."

The general who knelt on the ground turned pale with fright, and did not dare to get up at all. kowtowed again and again, "The villain has no eyes and no beads and does not recognize the prince, please ask the prince to surrender." ”

He couldn't afford it, and the soldiers behind him naturally didn't dare to move.

Fang Qiuyan said: "This king only serves in the court, and he needs food, clothing, shelter and transportation every day, so he is essentially no different from them. ”

He looked at the ragged homeless people and said in a calm tone, "The official is not afraid of them, so there is no need to be afraid of me, please get up." ”
