Chapter Eighty-Nine: Youzhou

After having problems such as buying clothes, Bai Xiaojian bought back a set of silk women's clothes as scheduled, looking at this set of soft clothes, Bai Xiaojian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Returning to the inn room, the young lady of the Chen family was still sitting on the bed, covered with a quilt, and when she saw Bai Xiaojian coming back, she couldn't help but say shyly: "Son, have you brought back the clothes?"

Bai Xiaojian threw the clothes in his hand onto the bed and said lightly: "That's it, you can go home when you wear it." ”

The young lady of the Chen family hurriedly nodded and said okay, Bai Xiaojian had already packed her package and walked out of the door at this time.

Seeing that Bai Xiaojian packed up the package and was about to leave here, Miss Chen hurriedly said, "I don't know the surname of the child, and I hope the son can send the little girl home." ”

Bai Xiaojian had already stepped out of the door in half a step at this time, and said lightly after hearing this: "My name is Bai Xiaojian, and I will leave first." After speaking, he had already strode away, and Bai Xiaojian didn't have much idea about the reward of a thousand taels of gold, thinking that as long as the silver on his body was used to buy flowers, he led the horse out of the inn and walked outside the city of Dingchang.

Riding a horse along the way on the avenue, worship Xiaojian felt particularly comfortable, the trip north to Youzhou can be said to be very smooth, the crotch of this black horse is extraordinary, a day can really gallop thousands of miles, and at the moment where the place is everywhere is an endless plain, is to worship Xiaojian can run wildly.

After galloping on horseback for four days, Bai Xiaojian had already left the border of Gunzhou and entered the territory of Jizhou, which is a large state in the north and a battleground for soldiers in all directions.

Bai Xiaojian passed through several small towns along the way, only to see a lot of ragged people in groups slowly walking south, including many of the old, weak, sick and disabled, Bai Xiaojian couldn't help but get off the horse and asked the reason, only to know that in recent years, the weather in the north is actually very hot, many places have caused drought, a large number of crops in the fields have dried up and died, many people have no surplus food at home, and what is even more desperate is that the swarms of locusts swarm and swept in, which made many people flee their homeland with their families.

Seeing this situation, Bai Xiaojian couldn't help frowning, but he also knew that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help much, so for now, he should first find that place according to the map on the Xiaoyao Sect token, and maybe he could find the origin of his jade pendant from there.

Soon after, Bai Xiaojian rode a horse to the outside of Pingyang City, and when he entered the city, he saw the crowd squeezing towards one place, and Bai Xiaojian couldn't help but look at it, only to see that a few Taoists were giving people rice porridge.

Bai Xiaojian led the horse towards an inn, and after depositing the horses, Bai Xiaojian ordered a few dishes in the inn, but the guy in the store said with a difficult face: "Childe, our shop doesn't have these things at all now, if Childe doesn't mind, you can order our shop to have a bowl of noodles, the noodles in our shop are very delicious......"

In this case, Bai Xiaojian didn't say much, and after eating a bowl of noodles, Bai Xiaojian couldn't help but sigh that this drought was together, and I don't know how many people were going to starve.

Out of the inn, Bai Xiaojian walked around the city, only to see that the pedestrians on the street were listless, many shops had closed doors and windows, and the whole city was a lifeless appearance.

The only lively place in the whole city was the pergola where rice porridge was almsgiving, and I saw a large number of yellow-faced people waiting in line for the alms of a few Taoist people under the pergola.

I saw one of the Taoists holding a wooden spoon and constantly giving rice porridge to the hungry, while several other Taoists shouted loudly on the side: "As long as you join our Huangtian Sect and believe in our Sect and respect the true people, you will not be afraid of disasters and famines, and you will be able to get rid of the sea of suffering......

In the center of the pergola is a wooden statue of a Taoist, which is said to be the statue of the Huangtian Sect in charge of the Taoist Ling Zhenren, and the hungry people who received the alms bowed down to the statue and thanked the statue.

Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaojian had a good impression of these Taoists, although he took the opportunity to preach, but he gave many people rice porridge to satisfy their hunger, which was also a good deed.

One of the Taoists saw that he had already given half a rice of porridge at the moment, and couldn't help but whisper to the Taoist next to him: "Senior brother, it is said that the real person in charge of the sect is condensing the power of incense faith, I don't know if it is true or not? ”

When the other Taoist heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Don't talk nonsense! Senior brother, you have to be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." Yu Bi hurriedly glanced at the statue a few times, and then whispered: "Senior brother, the real person in charge of the sect is now powerful, although this statue looks ordinary, it was a spell by the real person in charge of the sect before it was transported out......

At this moment, there are Taoists of the Huangtian Sect giving rice porridge in many places in the northern states, although these Taoists are speculating about why the sect leader wants to do good deeds, but it is also very popular to be able to help so many hungry people, at least at the moment, the number of Huangtian Sect members and believers is already very large, and even the major martial arts sects in the four northern states do not dare to compete with the Huangtian Sect.

Later, on the way north, Bai Xiaojian saw more and more homeless people heading south in groups, Bai Xiaojian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly on the horse, and secretly said that he didn't know what kind of miserable situation that Youzhou was in now.

Five days later, Bai Xiaojian finally came to the border of Youzhou, only to see that the towns along the way have become more and more desolate, Bai Xiaojian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he used to live in a rich place in the south, where has he seen such a desolate place.

Taking out the Xiaoyao Sect token, Bai Xiaojian looked at the map engraved on it, according to the map, the place is between the northwest mountains of Youzhou, and it will be reached in about ten days at the current alarming speed.

Five days later, Bai Xiaojian had already come to the outside of Youyan City on horseback, which was one of the big cities on the border of Youzhou, and the city was heavily defended, and from time to time many soldiers wearing iron armor would be seen patrolling the movement outside the city with weapons in their hands.

Suddenly, a black smoke that went straight to the sky came from the northern sky, Bai Xiaojian looked at it with his eyes, and knew that it was the wolf smoke of the side plug, and a lot of dry wolf dung would be placed on the beacon tower everywhere in the side plug, once the border pass encountered the enemy's attack, it would be ignited to warn, Bai Xiaojian had these records in the books he had read in Xiao Mansion before, and he didn't expect to let Bai Xiaojian see it with his own eyes today.

"Close the gates!" shouted the guards at the head of the city. (To be continued.) )
