Han Zhao didn't say it all, but Xiao Mi has a good memory, especially the ups and downs and thrilling things he has encountered these days, and it is difficult for him to forget it: "Is it Prime Minister Tu's mother?"

"Not bad. Han Zhao said with a smile, "Prime Minister Tu prevented you from entering the city, and now Old Madam Sun has come to intercede for him." “

"Good. Xiao Mi did not hesitate, "We borrowed her house when we fled for our lives to avoid disaster before, maybe we promised not to trouble the Tu family." “

Han Zhao was satisfied. After being troubled by Tu Qingzhong, Xiao Mi is still willing to understand, this open-mindedness is much stronger than that of King Wei.

"By the way, I asked the officials to check the treasury. Han Zhao couldn't help but sigh, "It's bottomed out, deficit." No wonder our troops are in Shengyi, and King Wei has not dispatched a frank giant. ”

King Wei chose to abandon the city and flee instead of holding on to the end, it turned out that he had no money!

The power of the Footed Giant is as great as its ability to swallow gold. That's five money-burning machines. Years of war have hollowed out the country, and Shengyi can't even afford to spend the money to send out a big man.

Xiao Mi was silent.

He had anticipated the difficulties of taking over a kingdom, including the mess left by the previous king.

Seeing that the two of them were about to walk to the Tongxin Palace, where King Yu lived, an old woman with a smile on her face greeted them outside the palace gate.

"Mama Hu. Xiao Mi smiled at her, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Yesterday, he and Tu Qingzhong confronted each other up and down the city tower, and all the old things mentioned were guided by Mama Hu. Mama Hu is the old man next to Concubine Liao, and Yu Xiaomi's past is the clearest. One of the notes Liao Qing left for Han Zhao was to ask him to bring back Mama Hu from the people.

She is old, and she left the palace two years ago to retire and live in Shengyi.

Han Zhao asked He Xiaoyuan to take her out of the city to settle before leaving, and before besieging Shengyi this time, Han Zhao invited her first, and then cast a spell through the stranger, so that she could talk to Xiao Mi in real time in the rear. In fact, Tu Qingzhong's questioning was actually taken by Mama Hu, but it was just said through Xiao Mi's mouth.

Xiao Mi was originally most worried about this link, but Han Zhao was too thoughtful.

Mama Hu looked at Xiao Mi's eyes, full of love: "Why is Your Highness polite to me!"

Han Zhao said: "Hurry up and rest, you still have a tough battle to fight at noon." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Mi nodded vigorously. Attacking Shengyi is Han Zhao's war, and meeting with the ministers, stabilizing the situation, and seizing the world, this is his war!"By the way, the whereabouts of my mother and great-grandfather ......?"

"King Wei went out of the city and took them with him. "King Wei knew that it was Xiao Mi who was coming, so he naturally escorted his relatives away in case of emergency. Han Zhao comforted him, "When we captured Shengyi, I already sent someone to chase after it, and I believe there will be news soon." He paused and said, "After you summon the ministers, I will set off for the west." ”

Xiao Mi pursed her lips: "My brother Wang fled to the west?"

"All the teams are retreating to the west or northwest, and I can chase one step at a time, waiting for more definite news. Han Zhao let out a sigh, "It's best to cut them off in the middle of the road, otherwise there will be countless troubles in the back." ”

He looked at Xiao Mi: "It's just that in this way, I can't stay in Shengyi to help you deal with the current situation." If you have something, you can discuss with Lord Liu and Master Tu, and I will hand over the safety of the capital to Shi Congyi. ”

Xiao Mi was slightly surprised: "Master Tu?"

"Although Tu Qingzhong once prevented you and me from entering the city, he was loyal to the Xiao family. After confirming your identity, he also opened the city to recruit troops without losing any lives. Besides, he is proficient in the Code, and he can help you a lot. ”

Xiao Mi thought for a while, and suddenly shook her head: "I'll go with you!"

"Your Highness, the pursuit battle is not child's play, it is hard work and too dangerous. There are many variables. Han Zhao wanted to persuade him to stay in Shengyi. The rapid march rushed to the road to kill people, and many recruits couldn't bear it, let alone a pampered aristocratic boy like King Yu. Besides, King Wei's army is not vegetarian, and I don't know how many dangers I have to experience along the way.

Xiao Mi insisted: "It's useless for me to stay in Shengyi, they won't listen to me now." Besides, the pursuit of Brother Wang should have been done by me. ”

He looked at Han Zhao word by word: "Master Hou take me there, I will definitely not hold you back." ”

Han Zhao looked at his sincere face, thought for a while, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, but you can talk about it yourself from the eldest lady of the Liao family." I'm not going to help. ”

Xiao Mi's face suddenly became bitter. Han Zhao just didn't see it, turned around and got on the horse and left.

￥￥￥￥￥

The Yao family's departure was two days and two nights.

On the evening of the third day, the cold wind was blowing, and the dead leaves swirled under the feet of the horses, but the leader of the team breathed a long sigh of relief when he looked at the black rocks exposed in the distant mountains.

It's finally here.

This place is called Wushibao, and it is a small town, with a population of more than 1,000, and they all live in stockades. Anyone who walks here can understand the origin of the town's name:

The rocks here are deep black, heavy and hard, making them a good material for building tower walls. Therefore, the wall of Wushi Fort as high as six zhang (19 meters) is made of black stone, and then rammed three layers of soil in the middle, which is extremely solid.

When the convoy approached, it found that the gate was closed, and there was no one outside.

This is very unusual, usually there are not only chickens and ducks running all over the ground at the gate of the village, but also children playing.

When the convoy reached the bottom of the gate, someone shouted, "Who's coming?"

Yao Liyan got out of the carriage: "It's me." ”

Only then did the gate slowly open to allow the carriage to pass.

After the twelve carriages were gone, the gate was closed again. The people in the car looked back, and a walled gate had three layers, namely hematite, black stone and black tung wood, weighing more than 10,000 catties, and it took twelve people to push the winch to close it.

This cottage is no different from a fortress.

However, the largest number of civilians in the stockade are civilians. After the convoy stopped, the Yao family all came down to rest, and someone went over to arrange accommodation and settle the carriage and horses.

As soon as Dr. He and her medicine maid got out of the car, the third steward came over: "Doctor, please help the insiders take a look." ”

"Good. Dr. He stretched his muscles and followed him to the bungalow in the stockade, where the medicine maid followed behind the two of them with the box on his back.

These two people are naturally He Xiaoyuan and Yan Saburo.

The room was small and dark, with only one air window, but "Dr. He" still seriously checked the patient's pulse and prescribed medicine: "Now that you have the conditions to live in the village, hurry up and take a dose of decoction, and you will get better before tomorrow morning." ”

The third steward breathed a sigh of relief and took a small ingot of silver as a diagnosis gold: "Strange, this girl usually has a tight skin, why does she start to vomit when she gets in the car today?"

He Xiaoyuan smiled: "Without it, it's just a matter of being nervous." ”
