Knowing that it had nothing to do with the lack of water, Mo Xuan didn't want to startle the snake, so the two began to walk back.

In order to rush before, I chose the mountain road without people's homes, and when I went back, I just wanted to see the customs and customs.

Come to a village with a small population, clumped and skinny.

His eyes looked at a certain place in a daze, without any look, as if he had lost hope.

When the two entered the village, they were like pebbles that had muddied a pool of clear water, which was too conspicuous.

Although their clothes were gray and their lips were also chapped, they were still too clean in comparison.

The eyes of the people were too hot, and the expressions of the two were tense.

When I walked to the middle of the village, I followed a group of people not far behind.

Zero One was on guard, holding the handle of the long sword in his right hand, thinking that if there was any change, he would definitely protect the adult.

Mo Xuan was not worried, because there was no killing intent in everyone's eyes.

He stopped abruptly, turned around, and bowed to an old man behind him.

"This old man, we are from the capital, can I ask you something?"

The crowd panicked, and some people dispersed, and the named old man came tremblingly, holding a child's hand firmly.

The children are almost skinny, black and thin, and the malnourished do not show their age.

Against the backdrop of the body, his eyes were particularly big, and he hid behind the old man and looked at the two curiously.

"This son, I don't know what you want to ask?"

Mo Xuan expressed his curiosity, "Uncle, there is porridge in the county town, why don't many people go over?" ”

The old man, who was originally calm, suddenly had a frightened face, and was about to run away with the child in his arms.

But Mo Xuan grabbed his arm, "Uncle, wait a minute, we are good people, I don't mean anything else, I heard that the capital sent a lot of disaster relief silver and food, but there are too few people to receive food, so I want to ask!" ”

The old man bit his lip and observed for a long time, only then did he feel that this person was not a bad person, and tears fell from the old man's eyes.

"Childe, the soup soup is not for us to eat, but for the upper side."

"As long as people come often, the county magistrate will drive us over in the name of soup kitchen, the porridge is pitiful, if you eat too much, you will be beaten."

Mo Xuan's hands were suddenly clenched, and Sen Leng's killing intent flashed, for fear of startling the old man and the child, he quickly collected the killing intent.

He took a deep breath, "Uncle, the county master has been arrested, and he will be beheaded in a few days, and the problem of water shortage will be solved." ”

"This time the soup is given by adults from the capital, and they will never beat people, and all those who do evil have been imprisoned."

The old man was stunned, and grabbed Mo Xuan's hand excitedly, "Gong...... Childe, you say it's true that you're alone? ”

"Of course!"

"You can let some young adults follow me into the county seat and see for yourself!"

The old man smiled bitterly, "Gongzi is from a foreign country, and he doesn't know much about this place, and there are no young adults in this village, not even some young women." ”

Only then did Mo Xuan notice that he was surrounded by children under the age of 12 and older people.

At this time, he was even more curious, "Uncle, I don't know what the reason is?" Have they all fled? ”

The old man shook his head and sighed leisurely, "No, a year and a half ago, the county lord issued an order that all young adults must participate in the construction of a joint work. ”

"None of the people who went out came back, and then they were directly forcibly arrested, and even many women, girls and children were arrested."

"The land in the village is all deserted, and a year ago the river was cut off, and there was no way to farm."

The old man wiped his tears, thinking that his two sons were uncertain about their life and death, and his wife died of illness, leaving only one grandson, if it weren't for his grandson, he wouldn't be able to live.

The surrounding people also thought of their own situation, and one by one silently wept.

Mo Xuan really didn't expect this to be the case, the county order was so bold, without the holy decree of the capital, he sent people to repair the fortifications privately.

I'm afraid that those people are more than lucky.

Mo Xuan and Ling Yi glanced at each other, "Uncle, you can go to the county seat in person, don't worry, the soup soup must be real." ”

The old man nodded, "Great, as long as the children have something to eat, we old guys are hungry." ”

Mo Xuan talked with everyone again, and the two took the lead to leave.

"Zero One, you personally go to the capital to send a letter to the prince, I'm afraid there are a lot of people involved this time, it's best to send soldiers over."

"Yes, sir!"

Mo Xuan still has a layer of worry, the county has not sent news to the county recently, and it can't be delayed for too long, but I'm afraid that the news will be known soon.

Mo Xuan regretted a little at this time, it would be nice if he had dealt with the county master for a few more days.

Immediately repaired a book, Zero One didn't stay, and left directly day and night.

The money raised in the capital had just left, and he received an urgent letter from Mo Xuan.

Seeing the contents of the letter, the prince's temples thumped, it turned out that there were so many dark sides in places that could not be illuminated in the capital.

The crown prince went to the palace overnight to meet his father.

The emperor was extremely angry, and immediately called the fourth child over, and at the same time issued a holy decree.

"Fourth, you personally lead 20,000 troops, remember to cooperate with Lord Mo, I want to see what kind of fortifications they are building."

"So many people participated, and none of them returned, maybe all of them died, heh, it's really a big official, building your own tomb? Then we also have to see if we have a chance to die well. ”

The emperor thinks that he is wise and martial, the country is governed very well under his many hands, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the people do not worry about food and clothing, but secretly, someone tramples on my people at will, and he is simply angry.

Looking at his father, whose face was flushed and his chest was constantly rising and falling, the prince hurriedly gave him relief.

Looking at the silver threads on his head, he suddenly felt that this position was not so easy to do.

At this time, he only hoped that his father could live a few more years and let him be chic for a few years.

The fourth prince's face was solemn, and he immediately knelt down, "Yes, father, the son will live up to your expectations." ”

The fourth brother led the troops, and the emperor was very relieved.

Glancing at the prince who lowered his head, "You have made a good friend." ”

At this time, he was a little envious, his son had not yet sat on the throne, there were people who worked hard for him, Mo Xuan's strength was undoubted, although the prince of Chu Shiye was young, but the future was worthy of heavy responsibilities.

The emperor suddenly thought of his old ministers, but unfortunately many of them have died, and so is the right minister, although the prime minister's house was not implicated last time, but the family returned to their hometown.

Hey, he sighed in his heart, and suddenly felt bored, after two years, the prince will be the emperor.

I have to say that the father and son have surprisingly the same idea at this time, one wants to retire early, and the other wants to be chic for a few more years.

The prince unconsciously showed a smile, it was his luck to have such a helper.

The four princes quickly mobilized the sergeants and set off soon. (End of chapter)
