Chapter 850 Escape from the Famine and Don't Panic 12
Let the princess and her guards send some dry food, Xu Shaoyan took the dry cake and ate it quickly, Ning Yue sat under the tree, took a sip of spiritual spring water and a mouthful of flatbread, and the food was quite sweet.
Princess Shuxi lost her temper again after eating two mouthfuls of dry food: "This thing is too unpalatable, I can't eat it, you go and give me some prey to roast and eat." ”
The guard looked at her with an embarrassed expression, where did he go to hunt prey in this wilderness?
Moreover, after coming and going and baking, there is not an hour when the princess can't go hungry?
"Princess, you can make do with a little food, and when we go to the next city in the evening, our subordinates will make you something to eat."
The princess didn't follow, a few guards persuaded her together, Ning Yue was annoyed when she looked at it, when was it, her life was going to be lost, and she was still picking, "Don't look for trouble, just eat, if you don't eat, you will be honest if you are hungry for two meals!" ”
As soon as she suddenly spoke, everyone looked at her in unison, this is a princess, the only princess in Daliang Kingdom! How dare you speak like that?
Don't want to die?!
Xu Shaoyan wanted to come out to play a round, after all, this was his savior, and he didn't want Ning Yue to have an accident.
However, without waiting for him to speak, Yang Yunxi shouted, "Then my steamed buns are not delicious, they don't taste good, they taste dry, or give me some of your cakes, I won't pick them!" ”
Ning Yue: ......? The co-author has taken a fancy to her cake, so you can say it directly, she is not a stingy person, and she can't give up a cake!
"Exchange your steamed buns!"
Yang Yunxi immediately happily ran towards Ning Yue with a bag of steamed buns.
"Give it, give it all to you, and I'll ask you for a cake."
Ning Yue: ...... Princess, can you look at the resentful little eyes of the guards behind you?
"I'll just need one, and you can take the rest back."
After speaking, she took out a piece of cake from her baggage, rolled it with some pickled vegetables in the middle, handed it to Yang Yunxi, ate her cake in a few bites, and took out four bird eggs from the bag that I don't know what kind of bird they were, put them into the water that had been boiled on the side, stirred them with chopsticks, sprinkled with some salt, and soon a pot of egg drop soup was out of the pot.
Don't think about green onion sesame oil or anything, if she can take things out at this time, it is estimated that she will be regarded as a monster by these people.
"Egg drop soup, whoever drinks it will serve it themselves."
She filled a bowl herself, because a little spiritual spring water was added to the water, even if only salt was put and there were not many egg flowers, but the taste was very fragrant.
Yang Yunxi also followed her example and served a bowl of soup, a mouthful of cakes, a mouthful of soup, the taste was simply delicious!
Xu Hu also served a bowl to the young general of his family, as for him, he could only wait for the young general to finish eating, because Ning Yue only brought three pairs of dishes and chopsticks, if it was just a few of their old men who were not so particular, but with the princess here, they would have to talk about the rules.
After lunch, everyone rested for half an hour, and then continued to hurry, and they had to find a place to replenish supplies before dark, people said that it was not okay for the horses not to drink water, if Ning Yue had not quietly given the horses some spiritual spring water, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to persist in such a day.
In the palace of the capital.
The little eunuch took a small bamboo pipe secret letter and quickly walked into the Rentai Palace.
"Godfather, there's news from the princess."
Gonggong Hu hurriedly took the bamboo pipe the size of his little finger and presented it to the front of the imperial case.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the princess's side."
The emperor immediately put down the brush in his hand, took the bamboo pipe, and took out the secret letter.
Gonggong Hu watched the emperor's face change and change, change and change, and finally slapped his palm on the imperial case with anger.
"Bastard! Dare to assassinate Yunxi! With just those few wastes, I couldn't compete with me twenty years ago, and I won't be handed over to them twenty years later! ”
Gonggong Hu was startled, his head hung lower, those few princes who didn't have long eyes were really impatient, did they really think that their careful thinking Your Majesty couldn't see it?
That's just because the princess hasn't married or given birth to a child, otherwise, the saint would have sent them to the West Heaven a long time ago.
And now you dare to assassinate the princess?
If something really happens to the princess, then the saint of the world would rather take it to the princess for burial than fall into their hands.
"Your Majesty, the princess is not safe there, so she still has to take it back as soon as possible!"
The emperor also wanted to, but when he saw the news from the girl in the letter, he had to find another way.
"Spread my oracle and declare the prince of Enhou to enter the palace."
Li Hongxiu, the son of Chengenhou, the cousin of Princess Yunxi, is young but strong in martial arts, if anyone is the most relieved to welcome back the princess, it must be him.
Gonggong Hu hurriedly sent the little eunuch to the Chengenhou Mansion to deliver the decree.
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Hongxiu entered the palace.
The emperor gave such and such an order, and soon, Li Hongxiu took people out of Beijing.
……
At the end of the day, Ning Yue and his party arrived at a large city called Ye Cheng.
The city gate was full of homeless people, and as soon as Ning Yue and these people appeared, many eyes kept looking at them.
Ning Yue knew that if people were hungry, they could do anything, but when she saw the discarded corpses in the grass on the side of the road, her heart still sank.
With such a hot weather and such a dense crowd, if those corpses were not disposed of as soon as possible, there was likely to be an outbreak of plague.
Princess Shuxi had been following Ning Yue all the time, so she noticed that Ning Yue's expression was wrong, "Ning Yue, what's wrong?" Why aren't you happy? ”
Ning Yue told the princess about her worries.
"Hmph, these officials who eat vegetarian meals in the corpse are all eating imperial food and not doing personnel! Wait a minute, we must take care of them when we enter the city! ”
Ning Yue shook her head, "It's useless, the most important thing now is to dispose of these corpses, otherwise when the plague breaks out, more people will die."
It's okay if the gates are all closed, they have to be opened so that the victims can pass through quickly.
Otherwise, the more people gather, the more dangerous it is. ”
Yang Yunxi immediately asked the guards to take their identity tokens and communicate with the guards at the city gate.
A quarter of an hour later, they were escorted into the city by a large group of soldiers.
A few victims wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the city, the soldiers took knives and cut them, Ning Yue was afraid that those victims would really be hacked to death, so she hurriedly shouted, "Don't hurt people, follow up, follow up, it's a big deal, I gave these people the silver that entered the city!" ”
Her voice wasn't too loud, but it was loud enough for the few people around her and a few of the victims who had already stepped into the city gates with one foot.
The soldiers hesitated when they heard that the money was being collected, and the victims took the opportunity to rush into the city, and the gates were shut.
Ning Yue really did what she said, took out a bag of silver and stuffed it to the leading captain, and took out a few ingots of silver for the soldiers to share.
The money was scavenged from the killers.
