Jiang Wujian also knew that Xu Jing was worried, he knelt down on one knee and said to Xu Jing: "Your Majesty, just rest assured, the ministers will definitely guard the city gate and will not let the invading enemy attack the capital." ”

"Uncle Jiang, of course I don't worry. Now I only hope that the situation of the victims in the world will be calmed down as soon as possible. Give the people of the world a stable life. ”

Xu Jing sighed slightly and spoke.

Jiang Wujian was silent and didn't dare to say a word.

Jiang Wujian knew very well that what Xu Jing said was something that every emperor wanted to do.

It's just that how difficult is it to do that?

The world of Daqian is indeed Xu Jing's world, but the world is so big, there are too many places that Xu Jing can hardly reach.

"The last general will go to prepare for the defense of the capital."

After Jiang Wujian said this, he turned around and retired, not intending to stay any longer.

"Your Majesty, would you better rest more? You haven't closed your eyes for almost a day. ”

Gonggong Cao looked at Xu Jing with some distress and said.

Xu Jing has not rested for nearly a day and a night, his eyes are full of tiredness, and even his hair is a little scattered.

"If it's undecided today, how can I close my eyes with peace of mind? Grandpa Cao, go out for a walk with me. ”

Xu Jing sighed slightly, slowly got up and rushed to the side, and Gonggong Cao said lightly.

Gonggong Cao didn't speak, just nodded slightly and walked out of the East Palace behind Xu Jing.

"Your Majesty, why don't we change this outfit first? If you wear this outside, you are afraid that you will cause some unnecessary trouble. ”

The two were about to walk out of the East Palace, and Gonggong Cao reminded carefully.

Xu Jing glanced at his yellow dragon robe and couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, when he walked out in this dress, he would definitely be surrounded without a stick of incense. Where else can I find out more?

Xu Jing smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's still Grandpa Cao's careful, I'm a little busy and dizzy." ”

After touching a stick of incense, Xu Jing and Cao Gonggong, who had changed into regular clothes, got on their horses and galloped away outside the suburbs of Beijing.

Along the way, you will see pedestrians in ragged clothes.

Among these people, there are men, women, and children, but without exception, all of them are weak and have difficulty walking.

Along the way, an old woman and a little girl fell unconscious on the road.

"Grandma! Who can save us! ”

The girl pushed and shoved the fallen old woman, crying and begging the passers-by on the side of the road.

Some pedestrians stopped and looked sideways, their eyes numb.

Such things seemed to be a common occurrence in their journey.

Many more walked sideways.

"Go, get a bowl of white porridge."

Xu Jing dismounted, walked to the old woman and the little girl, and at the same time instructed Gonggong Cao on the side.

Gonggong Cao nodded, rode his horse and turned to leave.

"Don't cry, porridge will be delivered soon."

Xu Jing picked up the old woman and walked to the shade, and said softly to the little girl.

The little girl retreated again and again, looking at Xu Jing's eyes full of doubts and fear.

"My lord, we don't have any money on us. Didn't send you more. ”

The little girl whispered to Xu Jing tremblingly.

"I don't want your stuff, what's your name?"

Xu Jing smiled bitterly and waved his hand to show that he had no malicious intent.

The girl relaxed her vigilance a little, approached Xu Jing and whispered, "My name is Lu Yan, brother, don't you really want anything else?" If you can save my grandmother, I'm willing to sell myself to pay off my debts. ”

Even if the little girl was close to Xu Jing, she still couldn't believe that Xu Jing didn't want anything for herself.

It seems that in this world, all good intentions are for something else.

"Why do you feel that?"

Xu Jing believed that such a young woman would definitely not say such a thing, and she must have encountered too many things like this along the way to say such things.

"Because everyone else is like this, I remember that Uncle Wang sold his sister to the place called Yichun Courtyard in order to support other people."

"I heard that there is everything delicious there, as long as you are obedient, you can exchange a lot of things, as well as sugar gourds!"

Speaking of food, a gleam flashed in the little girl's gray eyes.

"That's not a good place to go. The children of poor families will not even be left with bones and dregs in that kind of place. ”

Of course, Xu Jing knows that the so-called Yichun Courtyard is a place of wind and moon, and it is a place where women sell themselves.

That's not a good choice for any good woman.

"You're talking about the same as my grandmother's. My grandma didn't like that kind of place either. He also said that even if he starved to death, he would never be able to go anywhere. ”

The little girl tilted her head and looked at Xu Jing with confusion and said.

Xu Jing couldn't help but smile, rubbed Lu Yan's head and said gently: "Your grandma is right, that kind of place is indeed not a good place." ”

The little girl just wanted to speak, but Grandpa Cao had already arrived.

"Your Majesty, the porridge is here."

Gonggong Cao put the food in front of Xu Jing one by one.

The little girl looked at the bowl of white porridge and licked her lips, swallowing her saliva, obviously eager for this bowl of white porridge.

"It's yours, but promise my brother that you have to drink it slowly and don't drink it all in one go."

Xu Jing put a bowl of white porridge in front of Lu Yan and reminded.

Xu Jing knows very well that for a person who has no rice water in his stomach all year round, the so-called brocade clothes and jade food are simply intestinal poison.

The first is that the food is too nutritious for the hungry to digest.

The second is that these foods are delicacies of the mountains and seas for ordinary people, and once they start eating, they must not stop.

In the end, you will only be strutted to death by those foods.

Lu Yan took the porridge in Xu Jing's hand and nodded repeatedly, picked up the bowl of white porridge and drank it little by little.

Each bite seems to be a rare delicacy in the world, and it should be chewed carefully.

Xu Jing asked Gonggong Cao to help the old woman up and feed the white porridge little by little.

"My lord! Please give me a bowl of white porridge as well! Please! ”

Seeing Xu Jing's kindness, the victims along the way all gathered around and prayed for Xu Jing to give him a bowl of white porridge.

"Just rest assured, everyone has it. You take this thing to Liu Huang's family, and these two families will arrange it for you. ”

Xu Jing casually took out a small utensil and handed it to one of the victims and said.

The victim looked at the delicate object in his hand, and his eyes were full of greed.

He knew very well that a thing that Xu Jing handed out at random might be a treasure worth hundreds of gold or even thousands of gold!

"If I knew that you had taken it privately, I would have a way to find you."

Xu Jing's eyes immediately turned cold, and he looked at the victims who took the small objects and coldly admonished.

"Clearly, I'm going to send it."

The victim swallowed his saliva and nodded in response to Xu Jing.

The rest of the victims were excited to gather around the side of the victim holding small objects.
