Xu Jing snorted sullenly.

In front of Zhao Xiyan, he never hid his thoughts.

"It's very bad. The nightmare you told me before, in the last years of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were bandits everywhere. I've heard it a little far away, and I always think you're too worried and anxious. ”

"What I have seen and heard in these days, I have only understood what it is to come in troubled times."

"The people have been famine for many years, the court does not think of relief, the officials are powerless to ask, and the hungry people abandon their families and businesses and flee in all directions. If you are hungry, you will eat people. Ordinary people, with knives and guns, became bandits......"

Xu Jing exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his voice was low: "Sister Crescent Moon, this world has become like this, the troubled times you said are really coming." ”

No matter how much history books you read, you can't be as shocked as you see it with your own eyes.

This is still in the prefectures and counties close to the capital, and they are all in chaos. What will those counties that are far away from the capital look like? Ordinary people have no way to live, but there is only one way left?

Regardless, his surname is Xu, and he has the blood of the royal family in his body. Seeing that the Xu family has become like this, how can I not feel uncomfortable in my heart?

Zhao Xiyan was silent and reached out to hold Xu Jing's hand.

Xu Jing subconsciously held her hand in the palm of her hand, groped and grabbed her other hand, leaned forward, and leaned her head against her head.

Zhao Xiyan didn't dodge, and leaned against his head like this. Just like when she was a child, Xu Jing had tears in her eyes every time she was punished for copying books, and she always comforted him like this.

After a while, Xu Jing sat up straight: "I will be in the capital in a few days, I will enter the palace and meet the emperor and the crown prince." I will tell them all the things I saw and did along the way. I want to see if there is any guilt between the father and son. ”

When Xu Jing's blood was surging, he did everything.

Zhao Xiyan said softly: "Don't be impulsive, calm down for the time being." You first write a recital and send it to the court, and see what the reaction of the court is. When you enter the palace in the capital, you will first find out the temper of the emperor and the prince, and then act at the opportunity. ”

At this time, only Zhao Xiyan could persuade him.

Xu Jing exhaled again and nodded.

……

This night, Xu Jing tossed and turned on the bed and did not fall asleep until the second half of the night.

In a daze, he had a nightmare.

In the dream, he led his own soldiers to fight a group of bandits. Those bandits were inexhaustible, killed a group, and rushed over again.

His sword was curled, and his infinite strength was exhausted. 、

A man suddenly appeared in front of him and looked at him proudly: "For the sake of the crescent moon, I will spare you from death." I will canonize her as the queen, and you will return to Beihai County, and you will never leave Beihai County for half a step in the future. ”

Bah!

Want to snatch his crescent sister, get out!

Xu Jing suddenly turned over and got off the bed, and angrily touched the treasure knife on the side of the bed.

Xu Shiyi, who was on duty at night, was taken aback, and a bone got up and rushed over, grabbing Xu Jing's arm: "Is the son of the world having a nightmare?" ”

Xu Jing: "......"

Xu Jing shook his head vigorously to sober himself up.

At this time, the sky was already slightly clear.

What a nightmare!

Xu Shiyi saw that his master's face was gloomy and he was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to persuade more. After letting go, he immediately called a personal soldier and whispered a few words.

After a stick of incense, Zhao Xiyan came over.

Xu Jing glared at Xu Shiyi angrily: "Bastard! Who made you alarm Sister Moon? ”

Xu Shiyi was scolded and didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Xiyan laughed softly: "I also happened to wake up, come over and have breakfast with you." ”

Xu Shiyi took the opportunity to slip out.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Zhao Xiyan asked softly.

Xu Jing is naturally powerful and has practiced martial arts since he was a child, but there are very few times he really does it. The last time I killed someone, it was when I was chasing Zhou Sui, and I killed a few.

This time, more than a dozen "bandits" were killed, but they were actually hungry people who had never practiced martial arts. Such a bloody killing, it is inevitable that I will be depressed in my heart.

Xu Jing wanted to save face and refused to admit it: "No, am I the kind of person who will have nightmares?" ”

Zhao Xiyan didn't expose him, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the prince of Beihai is the top master in the world, kill a few bandits, and capture them." ”

Xu Jing didn't blush: "That's right." Then I met bandits on the way, and I saw one and kill the other. ”

Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled, and told the hosta to go to the kitchen to pass the meal.

The two cooks got up to boil porridge on the fourth watch. The japonica rice porridge is thick and sweet, and when I drink three bowls in a row, my heart is warm, and the nightmare of last night has long been gone.

Xu San also came back to reply: "Qi Yu Shizi, the little one sent the corpse and the bandits to the official office." When the county commander saw so many bandit corpses, he was so excited that he almost cried. ”

This gang of bandits occupies this section of the official road and does evil. It's a pity that the imperial court is powerless to control it, and there are only a few dozen people in the county government to catch it, so there is nothing to do.

Now in addition to the bandits, the county order is grateful to Dade, and he wrote a note overnight and sent it to the imperial court.

Xu Jing was in a good mood, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Let's continue to hurry." ”

……

The speed of the convoy was not fast, and Xu Jing deliberately slowed down the trip, and the convoy went even slower. The original journey of five or six days was delayed for half a month.

Even the upright Meng Yushi didn't say anything.

In the past half a month, Xu Jing has wiped out two more bandits. One of the bandits is actually very far from the official road. Xu Jing heard the word of mouth of the homeless people, so he led people to touch it and killed the more than 100 bandits.

Meng Yushi wrote three folds and sent them to the imperial court one by one.

As a messenger and a seven-grade imperial history of the imperial court, the twists and turns he wrote are naturally the most fair and convincing. At least, it's much more credible than Xu Jing's boastful recital.

The fold was sent to the court first, and the reactions of the civil officials and military generals were mixed, and whether the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair was happy or angry, he did not mention it for the time being.

No matter how slow the convoy went, it finally arrived in the capital.

Xu Jing repaired overnight in the nearest post house outside the city, deliberately bathed and changed into a brand-new prince clothes, rode a BMW, carried a treasure knife at his waist, and walked slowly.

Meng Yushi, who had been in a carriage all the way, saw the tall and majestic city gate, and his heart was open.

Zhao Xiyan sat in the carriage, listening to the excited voice of the hosta begonia, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"This gate is really magnificent!"

"That is, it is much bigger than the city gate of our Beihai County. And the city walls, which are also much higher. ”

"Look, the queue of people waiting outside the city gate to enter the city is so long."

"Huh? Why is there a group of people coming? ”

"The one in the lead is a little familiar. Wait, miss, isn't that Captain Murong? ”

The four words of Captain Murong came into his ears, Zhao Xiyan's eyebrows and eyes did not move, and the smile on his lips was still the same.

From the moment she decided to come to the capital, she expected that there would be today's scene.

Murong Shen is still only a former lieutenant, and he is still far from the day when he will be in charge of the world and do whatever he wants. Don't be afraid!
