Coming out of Nanyang City, Nangong Ye led everyone to continue south.

It's just that they haven't seen any refugees along the way, so they are very quiet all the way, so quiet that Tao Qiqi is a little unaccustomed.

"You said that there were so many refugees fleeing in the north before, and it was very lively all the way. Looking at the present, this way is just our team, and sometimes it feels a little unreal. ”

"Why isn't it real?" Fang Yu in the carriage poked his head out and asked.

"I can't say it, I may feel too quiet, I haven't gotten used to it all of a sudden, it's a bit like a dream."

Fang Yu looked around, and was indeed a little unaccustomed to being quiet, "Indeed, deserted, it is indeed a little unaccustomed." But this is a good sign, indicating that there are no refugees, which is good. ”

Tao Qiqi nodded: "Indeed, although it was lively all the way before, they were all refugees, and sometimes they felt uncomfortable when they looked at it, and they couldn't help." ”

"Now that the refugees have been settled, they don't have to flee anymore, and we don't have to feel bad along the way. What's more, you don't have to feel guilty when you eat. ”

"Foodies are just different. So what are you going to eat tonight? Tao Qiqi asked.

Fang Yu thought about it, looked at Tao Qiqi and then at Nangong Ye, and asked, "Qiqi, do you and the third brother have anything you want to eat?" I'm going to cook tonight. ”

Nangong Ye saw Fang Yu asking herself, and replied politely at all: "Then let's have a potato stewed pork ribs." ”

"Seventy-seven, what about you?"

"Me? Then have a leek omelet. ”

"Okay, I'll cook when we find a place to stay."

"Shall we go into the city to rest tonight or find a spacious place to rest?" Tao Qiqi looked at Nangong Ye and asked.

Nangong Ye replied: "Naturally, it is safer to enter the city." But just stay for one night, stay in a restaurant tonight, eat in a restaurant at night, and give it to Xiaoyu for lunch tomorrow. ”

Xiao Yu nodded: "Okay, listen to the arrangement of the third brother." ”

Tao Qiqi: "I live in a restaurant with the third brother, and I feel happy when I think about it." Let's go, hold on tight, and try to get into the city before dark. ”

******

Tao Qiqi and the others had been delayed for a lot of time in Nanyang City, and they accelerated their pace after setting off again.

And King Jinyang (the second prince Nangong Jun), who was far away in Yongdu, had a smile on his face after receiving a letter from King Qingping (the sixth prince Nangong Yi).

The content of the letter: I have won the trust of the third brother and walked with him, but I have not seen any weapons yet, and the third brother has no thoughts for the time being.

After reading the letter, Nangong Jun destroyed the letter, and the right-hand man beside him asked when he saw this: "Lord Wang, do we still need to continue to arrange people next?" ”

Nangong Jun replied: "Don't worry, now that the sixth brother has just gained their trust, let's wait and see what news he will bring from there." Is there a result of what you asked you to inquire about? ”

Wu Fei replied: "Back to the prince, I heard that it was proposed by the king of Pingyang." ”

"Oh, it seems that this king is not wrong, my third brother is becoming more and more a mystery. However, I have to say that his method is really good, and he solved the problem of refugees in just a few days. I heard that someone sold a lot of grain some time ago? ”

"It's not because the big guys want to make a windfall. While creating the illusion of food shortage, it also raises the price of grain and wants to sell it at a high price. But as a result, the above approval document was issued, and the price was not allowed to rise, and a few large households began to arrange for people to sell it privately while the price was still good.

However, one of these large households is quite conscientious, and the price sold is only a few cents higher than the previous grain price. And they are all government priority purchases. And as soon as he tossed it, many merchants mistakenly thought that the other party had some inside story, so they all followed one after another, and finally the grain price was tossed back to the previous price by him. ”

"Oh, then he destroyed those merchants who wanted to make money, wouldn't everyone hate him?" After Nangong Jun finished speaking, he calmly picked up the teacup on the table.

"It's useless to hate, this big family is very hidden, and it is impossible to find out who is making the move. Even if you want to get angry, you can't find anyone. ”

"Can you find someone when you start the right deal?"

"The place of the transaction is different every time, and it is a temporary notice to the local government, and the transaction time is also uncertain, which makes it elusive. Someone had noticed that the men had disappeared into the nearby mountains after the trade, but they couldn't see anything from the past. At night, the mountains are deep and dangerous, and you can't find anything when you go there at dawn. ”

"Oh, that's interesting. Could it be that my third brother is doing it? ”

Wu Fei shook his head and replied, "We went to check, it's not the King of Pingyang." ”

Nangong Jun asked, "Who could that be?" ”

Wu Fei shook his head again: "We haven't found out who did it. ”

"As long as you do it, it is impossible not to find out, and you should be able to have some clues by checking how much grain the other party has sold."

"What the prince can think of, his subordinates have also thought of. But the problem of grain is not easy to investigate, after all, there are many large households in Zhuangzi, even if they pay grain taxes, there can still be a lot, not to mention that we cannot guarantee that he is a large household in the hands of grain, or a number of large households in partnership. ”

After listening to his subordinates' explanations, Nangong Jun thought about it and said, "It's okay, as long as it's not my third brother." It is also a good thing that the other party has solved the problem of the people's difficulty in buying grain. ”

"It's not just a good thing for the people, it's also a good thing for us."

Nangong Jun nodded: "Indeed." Then take advantage of this time to take care of the third brother's side for the time being, you can arrange it and let everyone hurry up and stock up on more food. ”

"Yes." Wu Fei exited the room in response.

In the end, only Nangong Jun was left alone in the house drinking tea happily and dreaming.

******

Nangong Ye took everyone to stay in the restaurant at night, and continued to hurry at dawn the next day.

There were no refugees, no killers, no mess on the road, and they were significantly faster.

Five days later—

Jiangyang County——

Jiangyang Restaurant, at the dinner table in the private room, Tao Qiqi looked at Nangong Ye and asked: "We haven't encountered any messy things during this time, the speed is obviously a lot faster, at this speed, we should be able to reach Nanguan in about ten days, right?" ”

Nangong Ye nodded: "Well, almost." ”

After getting a definite answer, Tao Qiqi sighed deeply: "Alas, it's not easy, it's really not easy." From north to south, how long have we been here! ”

Think of trains, high-speed trains, airplanes, planes from north to south in less than a day.

Even if you go abroad, it will take less than a day.

Look at them now, the fastest travel is only the horse-drawn carriage.

Moreover, their carriage could not run fast, it was too fast, and the people were bumpy in it, and they could not stand it.

Hearing Tao Qiqi sigh, Nangong Ye looked at Tao Qiqi and asked with some distress: "Are you tired, tired let's rest here for two more days?" ”

Tao Qiqi wanted to agree, but thinking that he would arrive at Nanguan in about ten days, he gritted his teeth and passed quickly, so he shook his head and refused: "No, insist on it again, and rest well when you get to Nanguan." What's more, I've survived this journey for two months, and I'm not in a hurry for these ten days and half a month. ”
