Chapter 44: Imperial Court Secrets
"I don't know, is it okay for Mali to speak?"
"Count, I'm ......"
"Then please take me to see Bai Yukuai."
Honghua urged, I really didn't want to see a middle-aged fat man wiping his tears here.
He is also sympathetic in his heart, at such an old age, can he not be ashamed to lose to such a little doll as him?
But I'm really anxious.
"Okay."
"Someone ...... coming"
Ma Yao shouted first and said to the servant who came in, "Take him to see Bai Zhukuai." ”
Before Honghua walked out of the yard, he could see Ma Yaoxian observing the chili peppers in the shredded potatoes.
Obviously, Ma Yaoxian's cooking talent is not weak, and in such a short period of time, he has already judged that the fragrance of shredded potatoes comes from this.
"Do you want to stir-fry with hot oil?"
Ma Yaoxian muttered.
Seeing this, Honghua shook his head helplessly, and sighed in his heart: "Hey, my stunt was learned by this ancient man." ”
Next, Honghua frowned.
Because the servants did not take him to the cell in the town.
Instead, they came to the granary of Little River Town.
"Go in, and the person you want to see is inside."
With doubts, Honghua walked in, and couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in her heart.
According to the previous news, Bai Zhukuai and a group of villagers seem to be under house arrest.
If Ma Yaoxian is really ready to make a move, then the grain depot that seems to be calm now will definitely be full of murderous opportunities.
"No, against a small character like me, there's no need for such a big battle."
The more Honghua thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't figure it out.
It's weird.
And why did Ma Yaoxian put Bai Zhukuai under house arrest in the granary?
It doesn't make sense!
"Honghua Brothers......"
Suddenly, a voice of surprise came.
Honghua was startled and looked up.
It was a villager who had helped chase Li Jie before, lying on a truck full of grain, smoking dry tobacco.
Bobobo...... Smoky.
"The Honghua brothers are here......"
Another person came over, and he was also one of the original villagers.
He was sweating profusely, and his forehead was stained with dust and sweat.
As soon as he saw Honghua, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Where's the white catch?" Honghua asked, he was completely stunned at the moment.
I don't know what happened, I just want to see Lao Bai as soon as possible.
"It's very busy, Big Brother Bai is pouring food inside."
"I don't know what illness Ma Yao committed first, so he didn't let people go home, and directly called us over to carry food."
The two of them were tired, and they sprayed a sentence or two in annoyance.
Not long after, with a doubtful Honghua, he finally saw Bai Zhukuai.
"Quick, move quickly."
Bai Yu drank a bowl of tea quickly, and in the granary where the dust and mist were boiling, waving a horsewhip, commanding a group of villagers.
Honghua looked at this scene in a daze.
"Fuck, I'm lazy, get up for me!"
Bai Yu quickly waved his horsewhip and whipped a villager Yong. Majestic in its all.
Honghua swallowed.
There is no murderous lurking.
They're really transporting grain.
He is not under house arrest.
At this moment, Honghua knew that he had misunderstood, and it should not be about Li Jie's death.
"Brother, why are you here, it's not easy to reunite with your younger siblings at night, don't you enjoy it gently?"
"We are all hard-working people, not as good as you, I just came back and I didn't see my wife and children, so I was called to move these again."
Lao Bai winked.
Honghua nodded and didn't say much.
There are a lot of people here, and it's not suitable for talking.
Lao Bai handed the whip to one of his men.
The two came to a secluded place.
"After I came back with a group of villagers, I suddenly disappeared, were you frightened?"
"Afraid of Li Jie's death, will he be stabbed to the edge of the county?"
Lao Bai raised his eyebrows, a smug look, obviously thinking that he had guessed Honghua's thoughts.
"Old fox."
Honghua scolded secretly in her heart, but a bright smile appeared on her face, "Big Brother Bai, don't make fun of me, hurry up and tell me what's going on?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lao Bai stopped laughing all of a sudden.
Just looked at Honghua like that.
"Say it." Honghua was in a hurry.
After a long while, Bai Yu quickly took two steps out, looked his eyes left and right, and made sure that there was no one else, and then walked back.
At this moment, Lao Bai's face was completely different from before.
Honghua immediately realized that things were extraordinary, and Lao Bai's performance was too cautious.
"I can tell you, but you must not say it, otherwise the whole family will be in danger."
"The crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is not a joke."
Lao Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and what seemed to be about to be said made his mouth dry.
Honghua frowned, because he could see that Lao Bai was really not joking.
"Remember the people we saw starving to death before we went back to Little River?"
"They're refugees."
Hearing this, Honghua's heart was shocked, "Where did the refugees come from?" ”
"The Kingdom of Jin is coming, and they are slaughtering the city. The men did not have time to collect their food and fled overnight. ”
"If we go in that direction and go another hundred miles, you will see what hell on earth is."
"The historical scenes of Yizi cannibalism and starvation everywhere are being staged alive!"
Lao Bai continued.
Honghua's scalp was numb, and she felt her brain go blank.
His mouth was also parched, and he moved his throat, but he couldn't speak.
"Slaughtering the city?"
Honghua felt that these two words were squeezed out of her throat.
As a modern person, these two words only appear in TV dramas and movies.
To him, these two words seemed familiar, but in fact they were very unfamiliar.
But when I heard these two words, I saw that the pores on Lao Bai's face were blue, and he had that kind of frightened expression.
Honghua's hairs stood up all at once, and she felt great fear.
"The Kingdom of Jin conquered a city, slaughtered a city, and killed all men, women, and children."
"Mali is getting orders from above to transport the grain quietly."
"When this is done, we are also going to retreat."
These words made Honghua's chest rise and fall, and after he forcibly calmed down, he asked, "Then why don't you tell the people to flee for their lives quickly?" ”
As soon as this question came out, Honghua felt that she was really stupid and asked such a stupid question.
"After telling the people, the grain will not be transported."
Lao Bai sighed, as if he saw the shock in Honghua's eyes, so he comforted: "Brother, you are still young, listen to your brother's words, don't inquire about the secrets of the imperial court, it will only be bad for you, not good." “
"Don't make a noise when you go home, and take your younger siblings and others to flee quickly."
"It's too late, it's too late. When the time comes, there will be a lot of robbers and bandits. ”
Bai Zhu was about to leave, and he didn't want to say more, and he didn't dare to say more.
"Thank you."
Honghua arched his hand and respectfully saluted Bai Yukuai's back.
Lao Bai said these words, but he took a great risk.
Honghua held back the doubts in her heart and didn't ask again why the imperial court didn't send troops to resist.
Yue Fei was killed for a trumped-up crime, how could he resist!
Where else does the spirit come from to resist?
Running for your life really seems to have become the only choice for everyone.
Honghua stuffed his head and walked back, walking very fast.
I don't know how long it took, and a dense sound of footsteps suddenly reached Honghua's ears.
It seems that there are a lot of people running and walking.
The sound of clashing armor, the neighing of horses.
Honghua looked up.
Under the moonlight, an official sedan chair from the Song Dynasty era came into view.
Six men dressed in armor and armed with halberds rode on horses to make the way for them.
In the rear, there is a black team with no end in sight, and the shiny armor on their bodies reflects the cold moonlight.
A breath of Jin Ge Iron Horse rushed towards Honghua.
