Under a dark sky.

After the Su family's carriage walked for an unknown amount of time, Su Yuanshan, who was sitting on the edge of the car, finally saw a light in front of him.

I saw that the open space in front of me was dotted with orange-red flames, so many that it was as if the stars in the sky had fallen to the ground.

From time to time, you can still see wisps of fireworks floating in the air.

There's someone ahead!

"Yikes! Children, Jing Niang, look, we've found someone! ”

Su Yuanshan's eyes widened in disbelief, and his bearded jaw was shaken by violent movements.

Su Yuanshan knocked on the carriage door excitedly, wanting the people in the carriage to come out quickly.

"Come out and see! See if I'm mistaken! These days, I feel like I'm going blind, how long have we not seen anyone else alive?! ”

Su Yuanshan's words made Su Bujing and the others curious.

Sure enough, as soon as he poked his head out, Su Bu was surprised to see the sporadic flames in front of him.

If you listen closely, you can still hear the faint sound of communication.

"Daddy, so many people gathered in front, we didn't go the wrong way!" Su Buwei said in surprise.

With so many people gathered together, it is conceivable that the place they are going must be a place that everyone thinks is safe and secure!

After Su Buyi was happy, as if he remembered something, he frowned, "Daddy, there are so many people, we have to be careful." ”

They are now not short of food, drink, clothing and warmth, although it was hard to travel at night, but more of a fatigue in their hearts.

If you run into someone else later, it is inevitable that their things will not be remembered.

Not to mention the hard currency of cold days, such as food and clothing, this carriage alone is enough to make people blush!

Zhao frowned slightly and said:

"Then before we go over, put the two bags on the roof of the car into my space, and put them on them to be easy to take."

"In the future, the meal will be solved in the carriage, and try not to let others see it!"

"Well, that's how it should be. And, whether for self-defense or deterrence, we must have a weapon in our hands! Su Yuanshan added cautiously.

After the previous training of fighting beasts on the road, the Su family, including the Zhao family, is now able to draw their swords without changing their faces.

In this way, the Su family came out with some weapons, with knives and swords.

The young Su Bujing and Su Buxian each shared a knife and put it close to the cuff.

Su Bujing also had an extra slender silver hairpin on his head.

The tail of the silver hairpin is as thin as a needle tip and slightly curved, which is also a good thing for self-defense.

The carriage walked forward unhurriedly, and in the carriage were Su Bujing, Zhao and Su Buxian.

Because there were already people not far away, for the sake of safety, the guards outside the carriage became Su Yuanshan, Su Buyi and Su Buwei.

All of them were armed with iron swords and machetes, and their expressions were serious.

Before the Su family met with the person in front of them, they were ready to fight at any time.

Not long after the carriage left, the Su family met a bunch of people not far away, and they happened to be at the end of the crowd in front of them.

They were men and women, old and young, and they looked like villagers from a small village.

All of them sat around a small fire, their expressions languishing, their eyes numb and dull, and their bodies thin.

Their stained jackets were patched with dusty rags, patches on patches, and yellow leaves oozed from the corners of their rough needlework.

Dead silence hung over them.

At this time, the villagers also saw the approaching carriage.

They glanced at the weapons in the hands of Su Yuanshan and the others, and stepped back with fearful expressions, as if they saw the deadly Shura.

Su Buyi looked coldly at the vigilance in the eyes of the villagers, paused, raised a kind smile on his face, and stepped forward and said:

"Excuse me, our family has just arrived here, and we want to ask you about the current situation."

When the villagers heard this, they still did not move, but turned their eyes to a rickety old man standing at the front.

Obviously, they are dominated by the elderly.

After Su Buyi noticed it, he adjusted the angle of his body, made a polite gesture, and said, "Please also ask this old gentleman to give advice!" ”

The rickety old man was as skinny as wood, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

He seemed to see that Su Buyi and the others would not kill people easily, and quickly glanced at the carriage out of the corner of his eye, and said:

"I can't talk about teaching, it's just that when the old man sees the knife, he can't remember what to say."

Su Buyi's face did not change, and he said warmly:

"Old gentleman Haihan, in this world, without a sword and weapon, our family really doesn't dare to say hello to people."

Seeing that Su Buyi was unwilling to put down the knife, the old man lowered the corners of his mouth, did not persuade much, and only said in a hoarse voice:

"Heh, it's easy to talk about things, but the old man is very hungry, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish talking at once!"

As he spoke, the old man's eyes stared at the carriage behind Su Buyi, and the meaning was obvious.

If you don't give you food, he won't say a word!

Su Buyi and Su Yuanshan on the side looked at each other for a few breaths, and then Su Buyi pretended to be reluctant to take out a small bamboo tube and said:

"Alas, we don't have much to eat, and after the old gentleman eats, you have to tell us about the situation!"

There was a raw taro with mud in the bamboo tube, and this thing was very hungry.

The old man quickly snatched the bamboo tube, ignoring the red-eyed villagers behind him, and pinned the bamboo tube to his waist as if no one was around.

"Alas, that's a long story! Since that site moved, the entire northern part of Rui Kingdom has been in chaos! The old man said as he looked greedily at the carriage.

It turned out that on the eve of the earth movement, the old emperor of Ruiguo was seriously ill and died, and he issued an edict before Daxing, which was passed on to King Jing, who had been supervising the country in Ruizhou.

He also pointed out King Yu, who went out to quell the chaos, to Yuanzhou, the northernmost part of the Rui Kingdom, and ordered him to go to Yuanzhou immediately after quelling the chaos, and he was not allowed to leave without an edict.

The heart of defense is obvious.

King Jing is going to ascend the throne, whether the minister's heart is truly surrendered, I won't say for the time being, only that Ruiguo has returned to calm on the surface.

The change of imperial power has nothing to do with the people.

They didn't care who became emperor, and they were exhausted from dealing with heavy rain and cold.

If it weren't for the fact that every county town has a perfect drainage ditch, I am afraid that the rain will flood people's heads.

They only hope that the imperial court can quickly send people to provide relief and distribute relief food and clothing, so that they can live one more day in the torrential rain and cold weather.

However, before King Jing held an enthronement ceremony, he ordered an amnesty to the world, allocated funds for disaster relief, and appeased the people, so as to stabilize his position.

The next day, there was a shocking earthshake!

It turned out that this ground movement did not only occur near Yongzhou, but also affected the entire northern part of the country.

King Jing was bitter in his heart, and when the earth moved, he was sowing the seeds of hope for the royal family in his favored concubine.

The sound of the earth sinking almost didn't send him away, and when he put on his clothes and ran out, he saw that half of his palace had fallen into a black hole on the ground.

King Jing was so frightened that his legs couldn't be straightened, so he hurriedly packed up his baggage overnight and took his palace dependents to live in the minister's mansion. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, King Jing's enthronement ceremony can only be simple.

As for the life or death of the people, of course it has nothing to do with him!

Anyway, this kind of thing is like weeds, and when the spring breeze blows, a lot of them will grow.

How can people like them care about how many weeds die? How much will it grow in the coming year?

Anyway, as long as someone farms for him, he can pay all kinds of taxes.
