Xia Jing knew that her behavior had changed, and the first thing she noticed must have been the two people who were waiting for her.

But she doesn't want to keep playing the role of the original owner in order not to let them notice, and in the upcoming troubled times, a woman who is pampered in the back house of a wealthy family like the original owner will not survive.

At present, she can only let the people around her slowly feel her changes.

As for whether they will be suspicious, it is extremely difficult to survive in troubled times, who still has the heart to take into account her little change?

Hongmei put dinner on the table and stepped aside anxiously.

Her nervous Xia Jing saw it in her eyes, as did the two steamed buns, a cup of chicken soup and a plate of pickles on the table.

Xia Jing sat down, and she stirred the chicken soup in the stew pot: "There are only these few things to eat in the inn?" ”

She also wanted to get a little more space to put it in.

Hongmei lowered her head and explained the current situation of the inn, because the inn had long been closed due to drought, they fled to the county seat yesterday afternoon, and forcibly requisitioned this inn as a temporary resting place, and the ingredients in the kitchen were personally sent by the county order.

"Now that the drought is serious, Princess, you can overcome it, and it will be good if we return to the capital."

Xia Jing shook her head, didn't say anything more, and asked Hongmei to go down to help her prepare a dagger and some wound medicine.

Hongmei raised her head in surprise: "Princess, you are ......"

"I'm useful, you hurry up and prepare."

Hongmei responded, and when she was about to go out, Xia Jing stopped her again: "Let the kitchen make all the remaining ingredients, try to make shelf-stable food, and then distribute it to everyone and let them carry it." ”

If you want to survive in troubled times, the existing guards of the palace are the best capital. The same last-day habit is that there is nothing wrong with being always ready.

It's called being prepared!

Hongmei turned around: "It's only more than twenty miles away from the capital, and it only takes an hour for our group to take the carriage, princess, are you sure you want the people in the kitchen to make dry food?" ”

This is also where Xia Jing wondered: "Since there are only more than 20 miles away, why don't they insist on an hour and go back to the capital directly?" ”

When Hongmei heard this, she told the news she heard from the guards: "The whole city has been heavily guarded recently, and the four city gates, the north gate and the west gate have been closed all day since the day before yesterday, while the south gate and the east gate can pass for four hours a day, and the city gate will be closed after the afternoon when Shen is over, and no one will open it." ”

She also heard that more and more families in the city received the news and chose to flee for their lives in advance. The gates are open for only four hours a day, and there is no end in sight to the convoy of people lining up to leave the city from morning to night.

Xia Jing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows after hearing the explanation: "Well, I know, you can prepare according to what I just said." ”

Hongmei went to prepare the wound medicine and dagger according to Xia Jing's instructions, and instructed Baimei to let her go to the kitchen to supervise the people in the kitchen to make dry food.

Of course, everyone lives in an inn, and the actions of the two big girls around the princess can't be hidden from the other masters.

Several masters of the palace, this time the opinions are unified, no one takes it seriously, only when Xia Jing has experienced a life and death catastrophe, they can afford to waste this bit of food in the inn, so let her dispose of it.

Xia Jing had dinner, Hongmei brought the dagger and the medicine for the wound, and after she packed up the dishes, she put both items into the space.

In the middle of the night, the entire county, whether it was the homeless people on the street or the people sleeping in the houses, everyone fell into a deep sleep.

In the inn forcibly recruited by King Qian's Mansion, except for a few guards on duty, everyone else was also sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, a night falcon's scream swept outside the inn, and Xia Jing sat up from her sleep.

Her mental power was released, and there was no abnormality around the inn, but her eyelids jumped a few times.

She quickly got up and got dressed, but fortunately, the big girl sent a regular dress before going to bed, so that she no longer had to wear that complicated funeral dress, otherwise it would affect her movements too much.

Bai Mei, the eldest girl who was on night duty at the door, heard the movement in the house, and stood at the door softly and shouted: "Princess? ”

Xia Jing smoothed her hair with her five fingers, and quickly coiled a bun on the back of her head and pinned it with a hairpin. Then open the door: "Go and wake everyone else!" ”

Bai Mei yawned: "Princess, is something happening?" ”

"If you want to go, don't ask!"

Xia Jing didn't deliberately lower the volume, and as soon as her words fell, she attracted the guards who were standing at the top of the stairs at night.

"Princess, what's going on?"

Xia Jing glanced at Bai Mei, and she didn't know why, Bai Mei felt a little cold behind her, so she shrank her neck and honestly stepped back and knocked on the other doors on the second floor.

When the two guards came closer, Xia Jing said, "Wake up the others, your guards will be on guard immediately, there is a situation outside." ”

Hearing this, the two guards were confused and looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and saluted: "There are also a few brothers on duty outside tonight, and they didn't find that there is a situation, how did the princess know that there was a situation outside?" ”

It's not hysteria! It's just that the guards didn't dare to say this, so they could only slander it in their hearts.

At the same time, the door of the next door opened, and Li Chengyi leaned on the door frame and yawned, "Mother, is this a nightmare?" Don't be afraid, we're all at the inn, and don't be afraid of thieves when they come......"

It's just that his voice hasn't fallen yet, and there are several terrible screams in the distance, which frightened Li Chengyi almost incontinent.

At this time, without Xia Jing's order, Li Chengyi held the door frame with one hand and covered his chest with the other, and said to the guards: "What's going on outside?" You two hurry up and see what's going on outside? ”

But before the guards could go downstairs, screams came from the streets outside, and the other rooms in the inn quickly opened.

"What's going on?" Uncle Wang Fu went out in his clothes, stood in the corridor and asked the guard on the first floor of the inn.

Li Chengmu ran out in obscene clothes: "Mother, why are you up?" What's going on out there? ”

Xia Jing saw that he was going to run to her, and her face darkened instantly: "Hurry up and put on your clothes and go to the first floor to meet, the speed must be fast!" ”

The master and his subordinates in the inn woke up, and there was chaos in an instant, Xia Jing pushed away the stunned stupid son who was blocking in front of her, and took the lead downstairs.

When she got downstairs, while everyone else hadn't come down yet, Xia Jing found the kitchen of the inn, put the iron pot on the stove, the cupboard next to it, and the steamer on the table into the space, turned around and went out and put a few jars and jars in the corner into the space.

Back in the hall on the first floor of the inn, Li Chengmu got dressed and rushed down from the second floor, Xia Jing grabbed him without saying a word and walked out the door.

Seeing this, the two maids of Hongmei and Baimei hurriedly followed.

Li Chengshang, the uncle of the palace, saw that several masters and housekeepers in the mansion had arrived, so he waved everyone to follow. And he himself followed Xia Jing's footsteps out of the inn first.

The north of the county was filled with firelight, and the sky was orange and red.

Li Chengmu looked at the north in fear: "Mother, is this the Beidi army attacking?" ”

"Probably not!" The Beidi army is the wolf of the grassland, and the movement of their attack will not be so gentle, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small.

Xia Jing pushed him: "Hurry up and get on the horse, and take out the momentum you took me to ride a horse yesterday." ”

If she hadn't been born in the last days and had never learned to ride a horse, he would have taken her with him.
