Chapter 160: Hong Huai
In the face of the materials donated by the Ning family, Rong Zhi gladly accepted it. Even if he knew that Li Shengxi might have other plans, Rong Zhi would not refuse the food she sent.
The real disaster relief food of the imperial court has not yet arrived, although he brought a little food down, but it is nothing compared to the huge number of victims in Zhenyuan. What's more, when the grain will come down has not yet been decided? After all, Jingguan is the best at prevarication.
As Gu Lingxu said at the time, the water of the Li River could not flood Wangjing.
This batch of grain and medicinal materials attacked by Li Sheng can be regarded as a temporary solution to the urgent need. When the food and medicinal materials were delivered to Anxia, Li Shengxi could legitimately stay. After all, she came to deliver food, and it is reasonable to come to help distribute the food, and besides, now that Anxia doctors are scarce, Li Shengxi and Liujin will also have some medical skills, which is just a good place.
In times of peace and prosperity, food can be coveted, let alone in the current famine.
The amount of grain was not small, and Li Shengxun and Liujin personally escorted it, and when they were transporting Daoxia Pass, they saw a group of people fighting in front of them from a distance.
A group of thieves dressed as thieves surrounded another group of people in the middle, and there should be a figure among the besieged group, otherwise it would be impossible to fight with such a group of thieves.
Li Shengxun looked at it from a distance, listening to the people around him come and talk.
"Big lady, it seems that a group of mountain bandits are robbing the merchants passing by, do you think we choose to avoid or choose to ......"
Li Shengxun nodded, and without waiting for the next person to finish speaking, he immediately said: "Save people!" β
With Li Sheng's help, the bandits were quickly dispersed.
There are actually a lot of people who are targeted by bandits, and there are all kinds of people, but the leader is a middle-aged man.
He was dressed in fine clothes and brocade, with a lot of family members and guards, which shows that his family is extraordinary, and he also looks like a decent person. His carriage is restrained but does not lose its identity, and the most striking thing is that the body of the carriage is engraved with the word "Hong".
Li Shengxi's eyes flashed, and he swiped over the weapons of the Hong family's guards without a trace.
"Thank you two ladies for saving me." Hong clenched his fists and looked grateful.
"It's just a gesture, and you don't have to be polite." Liujin Yingying smiled, and Li Shengxing nodded slightly.
"In Xiaxia Qiu Honghuai, I don't know the names of the two benefactors, one day, Hong will definitely come to visit." Hong Huai Zhengse said.
There was a slight surprise in Liujin, but Li Shengxi's face did not change, "Zhenyuan Ning family, Ning Rushuang, this is the sister, Ning Rujin." β
"It turned out to be the two ladies of the Ning family, the head of the Ning family is famous, and Hong has heard of it for a long time." Hong Huai naturally caught the surprise on Liujin's face, he was from everyone's background, and he had been in the shopping mall for a long time, how shrewd, "The two ladies know Rong?" β
Liujin realized that it was her own face that made Hong Huai suspicious, and she hurriedly smiled: "When I was at home, I heard my brother mention it a few times. β
She didn't lie when she said this, after all, it was really Ning Yang who said it to him.
"I see." Hong Huai's face was pale, and he looked at the battle behind Li Sheng's attack, and couldn't help but ask: "The two ladies are going to Anxia County?" β
"The dynasty is in trouble, although my Ning family is a businessman, but relying on the dynasty, a little bit of money, and I should do my best. I plan to donate some food and medicinal herbs to Anxia. "Stay here and be generous.
Hong Huai's eyes flashed a trace of inexplicability, but he still smiled: "Ning's good deeds, Hong is ashamed of himself." β
Li Shengxun seemed to have something, she glanced at Liujin lightly, Liujin smiled and nodded, and Li Shengxun left where the two were.
Hong Huai looked at Ning Rushuang with some doubts.
Liujin smiled gently: "Sister is cold, don't blame Hong Lang." However, although she is cold, she has the most kind temperament, and her face is cold and her heart is hot. β
Hong Huai shook his head, "Thanks to the great grace of the lady, how can it be blamed?" β
"That'll be fine." Rujin smiled gently and continued to ask. "Is Hong Lang also going to Anxia?"
Hong Huai shook his head, "It's just that I happened to pass through this way, and now Anxia has been reduced to purgatory, and Hong is not as good as a lady." β
"Hong Lang doesn't have to be presumptuous, Hong Lang walks with ordinary people, isn't it just to take advantage of the Hong family's huge family business to escort these people?" Liujin looked at the people behind Hong Huai.
The people who traveled with Hong Huai were dressed in different clothes, ranging from ordinary good citizens to those who had escaped from purgatory.
Nowadays, chaos is frequent in the town, and people who have fallen into the grass abound, and there are thieves' houses and thieves' dens everywhere. They were forced to fall into the grass by the chaos, although they were robbing homes and houses, but they did not dare to stretch out their hands to those rich businessmen and powerful people who really had big businesses, and most of them robbed some poor people. If Hong Huai didn't take these people with him, he was afraid that these people would have become the souls of the bandits.
In this regard, Liujin just felt helpless, in the face of such a chaotic situation, the power of one person is only small after all, and he can't save everyone by himself. Every time I think of this, I think of myself back then, and I want the Southern Jin Dynasty to wave his troops north and dominate the rivers and mountains.
The Northern Qi Dynasty has decayed, and the people who follow the decaying court can only be in the heat of the water.
But when a war is rashly started, it is the people who suffer first.
Hong Huaiken led the people, showing that he still had goodness in his heart, but as a minion of the Zhou family, he had already done all the evil things. When I think of this, I feel more and more ironic.
Hong Huai smiled lightly, as if he had no desire to continue the topic, he looked at Li Shengxian not far away, and sighed a little: "The two ladies are very skilled." β
Liujin shook his head humbly, "I don't dare to be, Sister and I have been stubborn since we were children, and we don't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, knitting women's work, so we love these vulgar things, which makes Hong Lang smile." β
Hong Huai shook his head, and seemed to sigh a little: "How can you call it a smile?" People are born in the world, and they always have very different personalities. Moreover, in addition to the ambition of the two ladies, they want to come to the home to be far-sighted, in today's world, martial arts are always more useful than qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. β
"yesβ" Rujin sighed softly.
In troubled times, those skills are just icing on the cake. What really works is some life-saving skills.
Li Shengxi on the side seemed to be a wanderer who had nothing to do because the house slave wanted to count the goods.
But if someone keeps staring at her, they will find that her gaze has crossed over the weapons in the hands of those Hongfu guards from time to time.
After a while, it seemed that she was tired of looking at weapons, and she helped her subordinates deal with the corpses of those mountain bandits.
There are a lot of mountain bandits, but the Xiaguan Road is narrow, and the corpses are displayed on the road. Li Shengxian sighed in his heart.
