Liao Daqiu looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi excitedly.

"Two gentlemen, are you accurate, I mean, I mean what you said is true? Xiaobao, he, he's still alive?"

Ordinary fortune tellers tell hexagrams, and the Liao family listens to it, although there will be ups and downs in emotions, it will not be so exaggerated.

But for some reason, these two big gentlemen spoke surprisingly convincingly, as if what came out of their mouths was the truth.

So Liao Daqiu's emotions suddenly became excited, not only him, but also the woman on the kitchen threshold, this feeling seemed not to be looking for someone to calculate his fate, but the official sent a letter to say that their eldest son was still alive.

The young son of the Liao family on the threshold looked at his parents now and was a little overwhelmed, and pulled Liao's mother's sleeve.

"Mother......

Liao's mother came back to her senses and rubbed her youngest son's face, but she still paid attention to the direction of Lao Liao and the two big gentlemen.

In the face of the excitement of the old couple, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi naturally understood, and the former nodded solemnly again and replied.

"Yes, your eldest son Liao Zhengbao is still alive, we can help you go to the army to inquire, maybe we can find your son. ”

Hearing this, Liao Daqiu stood up suddenly, the porridge bowl in his hand almost didn't fall, and the precious white porridge for the peasant family flowed on the ground.

After his hand was burned by the white porridge, Liao Daqiu hurriedly put the porridge bowl on the stool, and then knelt in front of Ji Yuan and Chang Yi with a puff.

"If the two gentlemen can help us find Xiaobao, we will never forget this kindness, and we will never forget it!"

The woman on the threshold of the kitchen over there also put down the porridge bowl and also ran to Liao Daqiu and knelt down together.

"Ask the two gentlemen to help us find Xiaobao, please ask the two gentlemen!"

The two even wanted to kowtow, but Ji Yuan and Chang Yi each stretched out their hands to support them, and they didn't dodge or stop the two of them, but they didn't need to kowtow.

"Hurry up, you two, we will naturally do our best to help, no need to make this big gift. ”

Lao Liao raised his head and looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi.

"But how can we repay the two? We have no wealth and no power, how can we repay them?"

Looking for people from the army everywhere and taking them away, even farmers like Lao Liao and his wife know that it must cost a lot of money, because I heard that there is a lawsuit in the county, and the money before and after the fight is a lot, and even half a year ago, two families in a neighboring village went to sue the official because of a dispute over a horse, and in the end, the loser and the winner did not have a horse, and they were all folded to the government......

The old Liao couple knows very well what they can't afford to afford, but can they let the two big gentlemen bear it? Not to mention whether Ji Yuan and Chang Yi will do this, they really do it, the Liao family and his wife have a disturbed conscience, but how can they give up the opportunity to save their son!

Ji Yuan seemed to see through the thoughts of the two couples, and after thinking about it, he pointed to the ink hosta on his bun.

"I am not bad with Mr. Chang, nor is my relationship bad, besides, it is worth helping you. ”

Looking at Ji Yuan's ink hosta, even if the two couples are not people who know jade, they also know that this is definitely worth a lot of money, if this is really a gesture for Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, then they will also feel a lot more at ease.

"Well, if you really want to repay it, then give Ji a bowl of porridge. ”

"Hehehe, yes, Chang also wants to add another bowl and add more pickles, this pickles have umami and are delicious!"

Surprise appeared on the faces of Lao Liao and his wife.

"Okay, okay, I'll give two Sheng, I'll give two gentlemen!"

The two couples hurriedly stood up, and they didn't care about patting their trouser legs, so they took the empty bowl from Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to serve porridge, while not forgetting to talk about their pickles.

"This pickle is pickled by ourselves with cabbage, which will be just the time to open the altar, it is the time to be delicious, and it is also delicious to use to make soup!"

The woman served porridge, and Lao Liao added vegetables to the two bowls, and the faces of the two were full of joy, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down, but the movements of their hands kept moving, and they could only wipe the tears with the sleeves on their arms.

But when they walked out of the kitchen, the tears on the faces of the two had been wiped away, and they held two bowls of porridge covered with pickles steadily, and carefully delivered them to Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, as if the porridge they were holding was extremely heavy and extremely hot.

Ji Yuan and Chang Yi glanced at each other, the former nodded slightly with the latter, and the latter seemed to be able to see the reflection of the warmth and coldness of the world from the former's eyes.

The two just had breakfast at Liao Daqiu's house, and left Maotan Village in advance in the expectant and anxious eyes of the two couples, so that the old village chief who came to find Ji Yuan and Chang Yi again in the future was in vain.

......

When Ji Yuan and Chang Yi left, they rejected Liao Daqiu's kindness in an ox cart, and chose to walk directly, and after leaving the village for a while, they flew away directly.

With Liao Zhengbao's information and a wooden sword that Liao Zhengbao played with when he was a child, it was not difficult for Ji Yuan and Chang Yi to find Liao Zhengbao.

The two of them flew towards the southeast of Yuan Zhaoguo with a clear purpose, scanning the land all the way, and found that many farmlands had panicked, and some villages and even towns were empty.

This is very similar to the scene that Ji Yuan saw when he first went to Zuyue Kingdom, and although the domestic situation of Zuyue Country is extremely poor, as a country that can be tough with Dazhen for so many years, it still has some of its own heritage, and the land area is also large, but Yuanzhao Country is much smaller, and it is already suffering from internal and external troubles, and this plague covers one-third of the country, I am afraid that it is really exhaustive.

About an hour and a half in the past, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi arrived at a barren place in the southeast of Yuanzhaoguo, which was already regarded as the border fortress of Yuanzhaoguo, but the border gate city looked a little dilapidated, and there were no people living around the rear, although there was some farmland, but it was planted by the soldiers themselves, which was used to alleviate the shortage of military food to a certain extent.

Of course, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi did not fly directly to the head of the city, but fell in the wilderness outside the city, and then followed the farmland behind them, getting closer to the city little by little.

"Mr. Ji, then Liao Zhengbao should be in the city, how can we take him away, why don't we let him sleep, and then fly back to Maotan Village with him?"

When Chang Yi asked Ji Yuan while walking, Ji Yuan was looking at this border city, looking at it with his special eyes, the soldiers in the city were strong, and there was a vague and special aura condensed in the city, a bit like the aura that a "tattered country" like Yuan Zhaoguo could have, and looked at Chang Yi after thinking about it.

It depends on what Liao Zhengbao thinks. ”

Chang Yi frowned, and also looked at the city, a little bit didn't understand the meaning of Ji Yuan, but he didn't ask much.

As the two of them got closer and closer to the city, they were soon discovered by some sentries, and they were still walking on the path with fields on both sides, and after shouting "Stop", five soldiers rushed out of the bushes at the edge of the field.

"Zheng", "Zheng", "Zheng", "Zheng", "Zheng", "Zheng"

The five of them all drew their swords and pointed at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, looking at the two of them with vigilant faces, and the leading soldier looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi carefully, and then asked.

"Who are you waiting for? What are you doing here? Say it quickly, and don't hide it!"

The other soldiers on the side also shouted and repeated.

"Say it quickly, don't hide it!"

Ji Yuan and Chang Yi did not show any panic, the former because of eyesight problems, it was seen that these soldiers were full of fighting spirit, while Chang Yi saw that the armor on these soldiers was worn, and traces of self-made rope repair could be seen in many places, and even there were gaps in the blades, but there was no way except for the big gaps, but the other places were sharpened, and the blades were also sharp.

"Contemptible fate, this is Mr. Chang Yichang, the two of us were entrusted by others to come to deliver a letter for a soldier in this city, and I hope that a few military masters will make it convenient. ”

"Deliver a letter?"

The leading soldier was stunned for a moment, and the other soldiers on the side also looked at each other a few times.

"Who is the letter to?

Ji Yuan thought for a while, took something out of his right sleeve with his left hand, and replied busily.

"There are official documents, some are there, and the military master is a little waiting. ”

Chang Yi looked at Mr. Ji beside him with a curious expression, wondering when Mr. Ji got the official document, but saw Ji Yuan take out a blank rice paper from his sleeve and hand it directly to the leading soldier.

The leading soldier took the "official document" from Ji Yuan's hand and looked at it carefully, and two soldiers on the side also looked at it together.

They looked up and down many times before nodding and returning it to Ji Yuan.

"You do have an official document, but I don't know if this official document is true, you take it first, and then you will see the military waiting for him later, and now come with us!"

"Okay, there are a few military masters to lead the way!"

Ji Yuan nodded slightly at Chang Yi, and stuffed the rice paper back into his sleeve, and the latter also understood at once, this is just a small use of the trick, and the "official documents" that these soldiers see are just the kind they want to see.

When approaching the city, even if it was facing the back, the city gate was only half open, and a barricade was set up outside, and after at least two checks, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi saw the military in charge of the north gate.

In a room near the door in the city, the military candidate also carefully read the "official documents", and also took out a few old official documents for comparison, and after confirming that the official documents were correct, he did not return them to Ji Yuan, but put them in a wooden box with other official documents.

"You're here to deliver a letter? It's strange, the group of wine bags and rice bags above can't give all the military salaries, and they actually approve official documents for the purpose of sending letters......

This military candidate muttered like this, and then asked Ji Yuan and Chang Yi again with great anticipation.

"How many letters are there? My name is Li Qiuyang, a person from Neihe County, can there be?"

Hearing this, some of the soldiers in the house also looked forward to Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, obviously eager to have their own letters.

But Ji Yuan could only shake his head helplessly.

There were no other people's letters, only Liao Zhengbao's messages and family tokens. ”

The soldier sighed, nodded and said to a soldier next to him.

"Take the two gentlemen to see Liao Sima. ”

"Yes!"

Ji Yuan and Chang Yi followed the soldier through the city, and they also saw many other soldiers, some of them were still wounded, and some were practicing, and their clothes and armor were torn.

"What does Mr. Chang think?"

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Chang Yi shook his head and said with emotion.

"A hundred battles of iron-blooded soldiers, what a strong man, it's a pity!"
