Chapter 23: Affectionate and Toxic

Feng Yun's letter to Pei Zhen is like a stone ox entering the sea.

Seeing that it was less than ten days before the beginning of autumn, she couldn't hold it back.

So he gritted his teeth, marinated twenty catties of meat, filled some pickled lettuce, and put ten jars of old wine on the donkey cart, and in the name of gratitude, let Xing Bing go to the Beiyong military camp to inquire about the situation.

Xing Bing was born in the army, and without Feng Yun's teaching, he knew where to look and where to listen.

"Girl, the Beiyong army has moved."

"The baggage battalion has arrived at Huaishui Bay, set up camp, and the craftsman battalion has also arrived, digging trenches, making traps, and fortifications in the hinterland along the river......"

Xing Bing saw Feng Yun frowning, and said: "The sailors of the Qi army are on the other side of the river, as if they are preparing to cross the river......"

The Beiyong Army is known for its fine cavalry bravery, and the best way to play is cavalry charge, outflanking on both wings, and the Chinese army is directly smashing, destroying the enemy's formation in a three-pronged manner, and it will be scattered in a mess, but there is a shortcoming that the soldiers know less about water. If Qi soldiers really gathered 500,000 troops to cross the river and attack, there would be no problem in defending like this......

But Xiao Cheng will not attack now.

The sailors on the other side of the river are just putting on a show.

deceived Pei Zhen and Emperor Qi, the purpose was only to force the palace......

In his previous life, it was also at this time, Xiao Cheng forced Emperor Xiao Jue to give way on the day of the beginning of the autumn season, issued an edict to abdicate, and then shot backhandedly, personally led the troops across the river, and fought Pei Cheng to the death.

The battle lasted for three whole months, and both sides lost money and money, lost their troops and lost their troops, and fought until the middle of winter, and under the facilitation of Chun Yuyan, they negotiated a truce in peace.

In the summer of the following year, the flames of war resumed.

This began the three-year-long Qi-Jin War.

Three years later, Xiao Cheng sent another envoy to the peace talks.

The middleman is still Chun Yuyan.

At that time, Pei Wei ruthlessly sent her out of Zhongjing for the sake of Li Sangruo. A lonely abandoned woman is in Andu, and it is inevitable that she will be humiliated. In extreme pain and resentment, she forgave her father, who showed goodwill, and also forgave Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng's affection briefly made up for the blow and humiliation she received from Pei Zhen, making her believe that the three years they missed were just a test of heaven, believing that Xiao Cheng had never forgotten her for a day in the past three years, believing that he seized the throne, attacked the Northern Jin Dynasty, and even had to marry Feng Ying, all just to save her from the sea of suffering and snatch her back from Pei Zhen's hands......

When a man deceives people, he really deceives people's hearts.

At that time, she clearly saw the infatuation and love for her in Xiao Cheng's eyes, as if it were true.

"The son of Nanqi, the only Saburo", she was too stupid at that time, Xiao San was determined to let a woman fall, and some of them were capable......

With her cooperation, Xiao Cheng skillfully used a divisive strategy, plotted against the three generals under Pei Cheng, and drew salaries from the bottom of the kettle before the war, resulting in Pei Cheng's defeat and Pingcheng, and she returned to Southern Qi and Xiao Cheng's side......

Xiao Cheng is a man with deep thoughts, courage and scheming.

Feng Yun resented him, but couldn't deny it.

However, if Pei Cheng was willing to believe her, Xiao Cheng would no longer be as smooth as in his previous life......

If the Northern Yong army took advantage of the civil strife in Southern Qi to forcibly cross the river, sent troops to attack Xinzhou, and then drove straight into it with the advantage of iron cavalry, even if Xiao Cheng ascended to the throne, he would definitely be in chaos......

With Xiao Cheng's temperament, he will still choose peace talks.

But chips are different.

What if Pei Zhen refuses to believe her?

Even if you don't believe it all, you will send someone to investigate, and you will definitely find clues......

Feng Yun looked at the swallows flying back outside the south window.

Ah Lou hurriedly walked over and called a girl, looking anxious.

Feng Yun motioned for him to come in, Ah Lou walked lightly, bowed in front of her, and looked around, and then leaned into Feng Yun's ear.

"Lin Ji went out of the house and met an old friend......"

Feng Yun listened calmly and smiled calmly, "Keep an eye on it." ”

Then he instructed, "Pack up and leave for Lingshan Temple tomorrow morning." ”

On that day in Huayuejian, Chun Yuyan promised her a five-day period and twenty stone grains.

The number is not much, but Feng Yun is like a beggar for food now. More is not too much, less is not too little, food is required.

Lingshan Temple is in Shiguan County, north of Huaishui, and is fifty miles away from the capital of Andu County. Shiguan County is the closest county town to Huaishui, and along the way, many homeless people were encountered on the official road.

Feng Yun changed into a light and wide coat, and did not wear a women's skirt, looking like a handsome gentleman from a big family, which was very eye-catching.

The group drove five rented ox carts, and there were more than 20 armed young men leading the way, and no one dared to step forward to provoke, but the homeless people they saw along the way, with their yellow and thin faces, and almost naked eyes, still made people tremble.

Feng Yun asked Xing Bing to open the carport, and at a glance he could see that it was empty.

Xing Bing knew her intentions, and her expression was slightly worried, "After the beginning of autumn, the weather gradually turns colder, there is not enough food, there is nowhere to live, I don't know how many people will starve to death and freeze to death......"

"If it weren't for the food brought by the girl in our house, you and I would have become a homeless person."

"Shh......h Be quiet, how can we have any food left? The general took pity on the girl, how could the two carts brought in be enough......"

The world is chaotic and cannibalistic, the mountains and fields lose their bones, and the ravines abandon their mothers, these things happen every day. Everyone sighed, but they were powerless......

In Shiguan County, the number of displaced people is even higher.

Feng Yun sent someone to inquire.

It turned out that when Guo Huaide, the commander of Shiguan County, arrived in Andu County with the iron hooves of the Beiyong Army, he was directly surrendered, and Pei Zhen was appointed on the spot, so that he could temporarily act as the county commander and take care of the general affairs, and the subordinates of the county government were also retained intact.

Therefore, after changing the imperial court, Shiguan County was not affected much.

Seeing that the displaced people came to Shiguan County for refuge, Guo County ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, and let the servants give porridge at the city gate, which was very good.

Seeing those homeless people lining up for a bowl of white porridge, a long-lost smile appeared on their faces, and everyone was very touched.

Guo County's surrender is worth it.

The north and the south are fighting back and forth, and sooner or later there will be a truce, or even merge, but the dead will not come back to life. The county order maintained stability and people's livelihood, that is, saved the lives of the people.

On the other hand, Feng Jingting burned down the grain depot and set fire to the city, which was a heinous crime.

"Amitabha!" A little monk walked over from the northeast corner of the city gate and bent down at Feng Yun, "The noble girl is the Feng girl?" ”

Feng Yun was taken aback, and hurriedly got out of the car to return the salute, "How does the little master know me?" ”

Shami said: "The girl's car logo is recognized by the little monk." There is a noble monk waiting for the girl here, please come with me. ”

Feng Yun thanked the little monk and led the way to Lingshan Temple.

This temple is just east of Shiguan County, very close, but when he walked into the temple, except for the little monk who led the way, Feng Yun did not see a single monk.

She teased: "Did the little master shave and become a monk overnight? ”

The little monk turned around, "Girl jokes, please come here." ”

Feng Yun and Xing Bing exchanged glances and clenched their small scimitars, just in case.

Unexpectedly, the little monk took them into the secret room of His Royal Highness Bao, and waited honestly aside, "The noble man said that the food here can be taken away by the girls." ”

There were neat yards in it, twenty stones of corn and wheat, no more, no less.

Chun Yuyan didn't play any tricks?

Feng Yun asked the little monk: "Does the noble person who gave the grain have any other explanation?" ”

The little monk smiled and gave a monk's salute and pulled out a folded envelope from his sleeve pocket.

Feng Yun tore it open and saw that there were two lines of elegant small words written inside, "In order to prevent Ai Ji from starving, give food to you." Don't forget the agreement and come to vote as soon as possible. ”

Feng Yun observed Lingshan Temple, except for the secret room where the grain was stored, the other places were empty, clean enough to starve rats to death.

In the Southern Qi Dynasty, the temple economy prevailed, the imperial court had preferential treatment, and the famous temple and the temple were comparable to the gate valve family, not only had land, but also did not pay taxes and did not serve. Therefore, in addition to the monks, there will be many people who are attached to the monasteries.

Lingshan Temple is the second largest temple in Andu County, and Shiguan County has not been impacted by the Beiyong Army, how can there be only a little monk left?

"The girl doesn't know." The little monk seemed to see Feng Yun's doubts, and smiled faintly, "A while ago, all the monks in the monastery died, and the dependent people had already fled......

Feng Yun looked at his smile and asked, "Who killed him?" ”

The little monk's eyes drooped, "The master of the little monk." ”

"Killed by flames?" Feng Yun's back was slightly chilled, and he couldn't help but feel numb when he thought of the dead people in the halls and meditation courtyards that had just walked through and were once filled with blood.

"How many people do you have in a monastery, and all the people from top to bottom are killed?"

The little monk didn't deny it, there was a faint coolness in his eyes, "They all deserve to die." ”

Feng Yun: ......

The little monk didn't look at her, lowered his eyes and bowed, "It will take time to return to Andu, the girl should leave quickly, it will be too late to live." ”

Feng Yun returned the salute and didn't say anything more, just handed the plum blossom wooden slip he was carrying with him to the little monk.

"There is little master Lao, give this to your master, please be sure to wait in Huayuejian, I have good news to tell you."

The little monk stuffed the wooden slip into his arms, bowed to her, and then waited quietly to the side, watching Mei Linglang carry the grain from the secret room to the ox cart, without much expression on his face.

is so calm at a young age, he is worthy of being trained by Chun Yuyan.

Feng Yun didn't know what had happened in this temple, and while Mei Linglang was carrying grain, she went to the front hall, knelt in front of the Bodhisattva statue, and bowed deeply three times with her palms together before leaving.
