Just when Zhao Hengyi and Song Ying'an and his party rushed to the border town under the starry night, Lin'an, the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, was still very lively, as if the barbarian Koubian had never happened.

In this lively capital, there are treasures from all over the world, as long as there is enough money, enough status, Lin'an is the paradise of this era!

In that majestic palace, even if the moon is shining in the sky, there are still countless palace ladies and eunuchs who are busy like tireless worker ants, keeping this huge machine running normally.

In the deep palace, the young emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom had just finished his busy work, and he was slightly tired and fell into deep thought with his favorite concubine in his arms.

"Official, my younger brother must have been framed for this trouble."

Concubine Chen, who had a charming face, spoke softly, and her dream-like tone made the young emperor's bones numb for three points, "When Song Ying'an of the mighty Hou family was in the Xuanzi camp, he got the credit and was soft, and he was forced to be a Yang Bo, but as soon as my younger brother arrived in the border town, something went wrong, if you want to say that there is no cat in it, I don't believe it!"

The official family is wise and powerful, and he is discerning, so don't be fooled by those rough embryos in the army. ”

The young emperor, who was immersed in the gentle countryside, looked slightly condensed, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

But the official's reaction had long been expected by Concubine Chen, and she was not worried, but she was a charming remark, which suddenly made the young emperor even more disgusted with the generals in the border army.

However, Concubine Chen's younger brother who caused the Xuanzi Camp to suffer huge losses did not seem to be so responsible, it was just that the ignorant child was framed and caused some trouble.

Concubine Chen, who favors the harem, knows very well that the official family, like the previous emperor, has great vigilance against martial artists, and does not like the nobles to be in power, and more importantly, this official family hates people who deceive and tease themselves!

Carefully observing the reaction of the official family, Concubine Chen knew in her heart that her goal tonight had been achieved.

Everything cannot be said in the end, only a seed is left in the heart of the official family, and the young emperor who is wise and martial will inevitably follow the direction he envisioned before...... My brother's life was saved!

I can't say, when this barbarian Koubian incident is over, my unsuccessful brother can still make some more benefits!

There were still 100 miles away from the border town, and Zhao Hengyi and Song Ying'an and a group of people got off the boat.

The next road requires horseback riding, which is definitely a severe test for Zhao Hengyi and his three followers.

Everyone can learn to ride horses on the deck of the big boat that everyone takes by water, and Zhao Hengyi and the four of them did learn to ride horses along the way.

But being able to ride a horse and riding a horse are two different concepts!

The bumps on the horseback made Zhao Hengyi feel that his internal organs were misplaced, but fortunately, he followed the advice of the guards before leaving, and he didn't eat dinner, and he was less uncomfortable on an empty stomach.

Zhang Daniu, who didn't listen to persuasion, vomited three times halfway through, which can be called the best negative teaching material!

At this time, it has entered the control of the border army, a large area of land, sparsely populated, the fields are not barren, after all, farming here, the tax is very small, and the grain used to offset the tax is directly sent to the border town of Yonggucheng, which is not far away, to hand over to the border army.

The only danger that the people who farm here need to bear is those who don't know when they will suddenly break through the defense line of the border army and kill the barbarian cavalry in front of them!

The barbarian Koubian raiding has long become the norm in the Great Yan Kingdom, and the people nearby naturally have a way to deal with it.

As the saying goes, born in troubled times, human life is as light as ants, but these people gathered around Yonggu City are not as good as ants.

Halfway through the journey, everyone rested at the post station, and at this time Song Yingan was already able to consult the detailed military report, which made the young uncle who was in charge of the Xuanzi battalion angry!

"Chen Yongzhong should be damned!"

Chen Yongzhong is the younger brother of Concubine Chen, who favors the harem, and now he is the hottest guy in the circle, it is his stupidity and recklessness that led to the heavy losses of the Xuanzi Battalion, which is not bad!

The Chen family is not a wealthy family, and it is only because Concubine Chen is favored that they can make a fortune.

Now that the official family is young, normally speaking, I am afraid that it can still reign for a few decades, although the Chen family is still shallow, it will grow into the top powerful family of the Great Yan Kingdom sooner or later!

It's just that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and the Chen family, which has just made a fortune, is in the stage of urgently needing to enrich itself, and with the help of many guys who are good at watching the limelight, Chen Yongzhong, who is not learned and has no skills, squeezed Song Yingan out of the Xuanzi camp.

It's just that Chen Yongzhong, who came to get credit, and the Chen family behind him, never thought that what was originally an easy trip to lie down and win would turn into a stupid act of provoking fire because of the barbarians in advance!

Before Song Ying'an finished reading the military report, a herald rushed to the post station, and Zhang Chaoyang, the marshal in Yonggu City, ordered him to enter the city quickly!

"Whoa!"

didn't have time to explain too much to Zhao Hengyi, and Song Ying'an, who had already entered the role, rushed to Yonggu City with half of his personal guards.

However, Zhao Hengyi and his three followers don't need to be in such a hurry, they can rest for a while, and wait until dawn to go to the camp with the rest of the guards.

Taking the big boat and walking the waterway, Zhao Hengyi and the others had enough rest, but now they are riding a horse and bumpy, making their bodies sore, but they can't sleep.

Zhao Hengyi took three followers and stood outside the post station silently watching the fleeing people.

Whether it was a personal guard or a soldier at the post station, they were obviously used to turning a blind eye to the scene in front of them.

Wang Dahu, who had served in Yonggu City for three years, lowered his voice and explained everything in front of his proprietor and two companions.

The people who were willing to farm around Yonggu City were not unaware of the dangers of living here, but the high annual taxes they had to pay forced them to choose this place.

Almost all of the people who were willing to work in this area had no way to survive and had to do it as a last resort.

In the hinterland of the Yan Kingdom, there is no need to face the barbarian soldiers, but they can't pay the increasingly high taxes, and the final outcome is that the family is ruined, and the male is sent here to serve by the government.

Instead of that, it is better to take the initiative to come to the Yonggu City to farm by yourself, so that here, after the annual tax deduction with grain, the family can still eat a few full meals.

It's just that this year is different from usual.

The grain in the fields has not yet grown, and the people who have fled may not have the opportunity to reap the fruits of their hard work.

Leaving their homes in the middle of the night, the barbarian cavalry that suddenly appeared behind them at some point, and the taxes they had to pay even if they didn't collect anything, all of this weighed heavily on the heads of these fleeing people.

In the dark night, numbness walked like a puppet in the evacuation procession on the official road, and the low crying never stopped.

Zhao Hengyi, who was standing on the side of the road, had a layer of frost on his face, and he only felt extremely depressed in his heart!
