After a few days of secret investigation, Shang Zhengyu and they found some clues about Xue Wunian, but the so-called clues are only a few missing medicines in a pharmacy in the city, or a few buried steamed buns in that person's house, so it's useless at all. And if it weren't for everyone deliberately associating these things, they wouldn't have found out that these were actually related to Xiaoba.

"It's been three days, and I guess the army of the captives will come to besiege the city again tomorrow. ”

Shang Zhengyu stood on the roof of a three-story building, looking down at the surging flow of people below. At this moment, it was the time for Zheng Pingping's soup kitchen stall to open, and many refugees and people in the city came here to seek help. Whenever he saw such a scene, Shang Zhengyu felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness in his heart.

No matter how powerful Zheng Pingphong is, it is impossible to conjure up a lot of food out of thin air. I'm afraid that it won't take long for Langfu's granary to be emptied, and then there will be starving people everywhere, if there are any more people who want to fan the flames......

Shang Zhengyu hurriedly shook his head, he could think of it, Zheng Pingfei could naturally think of it, besides, now he has time to do this leisure.

After scanning left and right to make sure that no useful clues were found, Shang Zhengyu immediately left from the roof.

In the flow of people in the porridge shop, a beggar wearing a tattered hat inadvertently glanced up, and immediately saw the figure of Shang Zhengyu leaving, his eyes were sharp, but in an instant, he changed back to the previous longing appearance, and squeezed forward with his companions beside him.

......

"Hey, Xiaosan, it's really yours, and you grabbed half a bowl again. ”

"Brother, I don't have as much strength as you, I can't squeeze in, I can only be hungry today. ”

The beggar with a hat on his head was sitting in an alley without saying a word, and his original shabby coarse linen clothes were well wrapped in him, but the terrible wounds inside could still be seen through the gaps in the collar.

He was surrounded by three or five beggars, all of whom were scrawny, and three of them had already fallen to the ground, only to see him coming, so they slightly propped up their upper body with their hands, and their noses were stirring, and they greedily sucked the aroma of rice porridge.

At this moment, they don't even have the strength to grab something to eat, if it weren't for this strange beggar they called Xiaosan who grabbed half a bowl of rice porridge every day and shared it with them, I'm afraid they would have starved to death.

Xiao San drank half a bowl by himself, looked at the three or four pairs of eager eyes around him, showed a friendly smile to the only little boy in front of him who could still stand and talk to him, and handed the broken bowl in his hand to the little boy: "You take a sip, and the rest will be distributed to everyone." ”

This kid is very much like himself when he was a child.

The sunlight shone through the broken crack of the hat and shone between Xiao San's eyebrows, where a scar cut off Xiao San's eyebrows.

"Okay, I'll take a sip. Although the hunger in his stomach was unbearable, the little boy really took a sip, and the rest of the porridge was quickly divided and drunk by several other people, and even the bottom of the bowl was licked clean.

Eat, this is the last meal I'll have with you, and I don't know how long you guys will live without me.

Xiao San, no, Xue Wunian recalled the figure he saw at the porridge stall just now, although he was calm on the surface, his heart was already like a stormy wave.

That figure will never be mistaken by himself, and the green bamboo wine barrel pinned to his waist must be the fourth brother Shang Zhengyu, and he will never be mistaken!

Isn't the fourth brother in Wanzhou? I remember that the eldest sister asked herself to send a letter to the fourth brother, how did she get to Langfu......

It's not good, it must be the eldest sister who discovered my plan, and she must have asked the fourth brother to come here first to protect Zheng Pingping!

Xue Wunian, who figured out the joints, suddenly turned cold, and the beggars who were still lying on the ground around him suddenly shuddered, and one of them muttered: "How to fill it up and suddenly become cold, it looks bad tonight." ”

If the fourth brother comes, then the seventh brother may also be there, plus the fifth brother, the eldest sister does not hesitate to use so much power in the building to protect Zheng Pingping, she really has a deep love for this guy!

The temperature was a little colder again, Xue Wunian lowered his head slightly, and it seemed that he was asleep, but the hatred in his eyes filled his heart like a tide, he forgot everything around him, and there was only one sentence left in his heart:

Kill him, kill his eldest sister and it will be mine!

Xue Wunian got up again and left the gathering place under the puzzled gazes of the other beggars, leaving no words, not even the broken porcelain bowl. The little boy still looked at Xue Wunian who was leaving with a confused expression, and muttered, "Uncle went to find food again?"

Only the old beggars sighed secretly in their hearts, they should come after all, this stranger has raised himself for the past few days, and he has already earned it, what else is there to ask for.

They couldn't bear to break the little boy's dreams, so they could only close their eyes one by one, as if they had also started their own dreams.

====Dividing the line has a lot of homework today====

Shang Zhengyu, who returned to his residence, saw a guest he didn't expect.

The Nine Emperors approached the front guard commander, Lei Qianxing.

Lei Qianxing, who was wearing battle armor, stepped forward and hugged his fists at Shang Zhengyu and said, "Shang Shaoxia, Your Highness and Master Hou are invited." ”

When Shang Zhengyu arrived at the Jingping Marquis Mansion, he realized that it was not only himself, Duan Yifei, Ling Feixian, and Chu Linxu. Bai Furui, Ziqi and Wan Yanjing have already arrived first.

"Brother Shang, come, please come here. ”

Shang Zhengyu had just walked into the hall, only to see Zheng Pingyu greet him, and directly led him to the seat next to him, Shang Zhengyu, what surprised Shang Zhengyu even more was that Wei Jin, the prince of the Nine Emperors, was also sitting around the table with everyone with a humble face, and there was no shelf at all.

You must know that he is His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, and these people are all grass people, and they don't even have an official position, how can they sit at the same table with His Royal Highness?

Although Shang Zhengyu and others were born in the rivers and lakes, they do not attach as much importance to status and power in their hearts as they do in officialdom, but there is still a difference between respect and inferiority. Zheng Pingyu made Shang Zhengyu a little confused. He stood and hesitated, not taking his seat.

"Your name is Shang Zhengyu, right, come, sit casually, there is no His Royal Highness today, and there is no Marquis Jingping, you don't need to worry about anything else, just treat it as a gathering between friends." ”

Wei Jin's opening set the tone for today's dinner, but even so, this feeling was too incredible in Shang Zhengyu's ears, even if the Nine Emperor Princes, Wei Jin, had always been known for his humility, but like this......

Shang Zhengyu was still hesitating, but Duan Yifei spoke. His originally closed eyes slowly opened, and the ice-blue bangs rose from the corners of his eyes with a burst of majesty, and he said lightly: "Fourth brother, sit." ”

"Since the third brother said so. ”

Shang Zhengyu reacted at this time, and immediately patted his head, except for himself, Duan Yifei and they were all already sitting down at the table, since everyone is like this, it is not bad for themselves. Thinking of this, Shang Zhengyu sat down loudly, and saw that the smiles on Zheng Pingfeng and Wei Jin's faces were a little thicker.

During the war, alcohol was a controlled item, and Zheng Pinghong had already ordered that people were not allowed to brew grain for private use long before retreating to Langfu, so everyone replaced it with tea tonight. Although the status of the Nine Emperor Princes Wei Jin and Zheng Pingfei is very different from everyone, after a conversation, this estrangement has been resolved a lot. Everyone at the table was of the same age, and the eldest Zheng Pingphong was just a few years older than the others.

Wei Jin and Zheng Pingphong attached so much importance to Shang Zhengyu that they did not hesitate to personally order Lei Qianxing to invite him here, hoping that he would play the role of a bridge to communicate with everyone during the banquet.

After this period of understanding, Wei Jin and Zheng Pingphong have understood everyone's temper and work style. Don't look at Duan Yifei is the person with the highest status among everyone, but it is Shang Zhengyu who can really make up his mind.

After the five flavors of tea, Wei Jin finally opened his mouth and said the purpose of inviting everyone to come this time.

"Master Hou said that he wants us to help deal with those masters in the army of captives?"

Shang Zhengyu's face was slightly pale. He looked at Wan Yanjing, and Wan Yanjing could only hang her head a little embarrassed.

"Brother Shang, don't blame Miss Wanyan, Miss Wanyan just told the midstream master of the army of the captives that he was lurking, and didn't say anything else. I hope that Brother Shang will make a move, and it was finally decided by me and His Highness after several deliberations. Of course, if the business brother is unwilling to participate, Zheng Pinghong will not be reluctant. ”
