Chapter 62: The Hero of the Dragon
"Back to my father, for the sake of the world, Yun'er is willing to go. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Huang Yun said with a deep groan.
Although he was now a cultivator, ordinary people or people had no relationship with him, Huang Yun was not cold-blooded, and at the same time, his views on ordinary people were different from those of other cultivators. Life is life, and there is no distinction between high and low.
"Okay! You can make a decision now, and if you have someone who has filled your pockets, you can cut it first and then play it. If the disaster is really serious, I will quickly report to me, and I will allocate the disaster funds again. Huang Zheng was very relieved when he heard this.
"When are you leaving?" asked Huang Yun.
"I have allocated 3,000 Iron Guards for you, led by Zhao An. You can go at any time. In addition, Qin Zheng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Guo Xing, the chief secretary of the Water Ripple Division, also accompanied you, and they have a better understanding of the situation in the disaster area. ”
"Then set it for tomorrow! Yun'er will be waiting at the gate of the palace tomorrow. ”
"Well, as long as you do it well this time, when you come back, your father will arrange a marriage for you. Huang Zheng nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Father, then Yun'er will go back and prepare," Huang Yun hugged his fists and saluted, and then walked out of the Qinzheng Palace.
Seeing that there was still enough time, Huang Yun went to Xiangfu again, Lin Yi still didn't come back, he went to see Lin Beibei, after this period of recuperation, Lin Beibei was already able to walk on his own, but the time was not too long.
Back in the Feiyu Palace, Huang Yun put a few sets of regular clothes into the storage belt, checked the cultivation items, and it was also dark.
The night was spent in cultivation, and the next morning, when Huang Yun came to the gate of the palace, there was already a team of people standing here.
There were three thousand in number, and each soldier was dressed in black armor and a black helmet, and even the feathers on the helmet were black. It looks neat, majestic, and murderous.
is the first three people, the middle one is Zhao An, the commander of the Iron Guard, Pang Yan, the deputy capital commander on the right, and Han Yi, the deputy capital commander of the Iron Guard, on the left. Behind the three of them, the old man in his early fifties was Qin Zheng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Guo Xing, the chief bookkeeper of the Water Pattern Division, who looked capable in his early thirties.
"General Zhao, is this the third prince?" The burly Pang Yan asked in a low voice.
"That's right, it's the third prince," Zhao An said with a surprised nod.
"Hehe, it's interesting, our three princes don't look like princes, but like swordsmen walking the rivers and lakes. Han Yi on the side said with a smile.
At this time, Huang Yun was dressed in a white suit, with black boots on white soles, and a coiled dragon jade pendant tied around his waist. The long hair on the top of his head is pulled up casually, with a handsome face, indescribably chic and handsome. After the inch-wide giant sword was inserted diagonally, the ribbon tied with his hair fluttered in the wind, with vigorous steps and masculine temperament. It's really the dragon among people.
"Master Guo, what do you think of our third prince?" asked Qin Zheng, the servant of the ministry.
"The dragon among men, the hero among dragons. Guo Xing's eyes flashed and he whispered.
"Hey! I can't help but choose a side. Qin Zheng sighed quietly.
"What Brother Qin said is true. Xia Guan also couldn't help it. After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled. There is already some kind of tacit understanding between each other.
Seeing Huang Yun coming over, the five of them hugged their fists on horseback,
"Subordinates Zhao An, Pang Yan, Han Yi, Qin Zheng, and Guo Xing visited the three princes. ”
"This trip requires the great assistance of three generals and two adults, and I hope that you will do your best. Huang Yun nodded slightly, his gaze swept over the five people.
"The third prince is polite, we will do our best. The five said in unison.
A soldier moved over a black horse. Huang Yun rode up and nodded at Zhao An.
Zhao Anyi shouted, "Let's go." ”
Then he turned his horse's head and took the lead towards the north gate of the imperial city.
Huang Yun and Zhao An were side by side, Guo Xing, Qin Zheng, Pang Yan, and Han Yi followed behind, and the group walked out of the city.
Linjiang City is in the north of Yuguo, with a cool climate and pleasant scenery. It is more than a thousand miles away from the imperial city. Without stopping, more than ten days later, the three thousand Iron Guards led by Huang Yun and Zhao An came to the territory of Linjiang City.
As soon as he entered the territory of Linjiang City, Huang Yun's brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.
This is already the periphery of Linjiang City, and the victims can already be seen here, although the number is not much, but this is only the periphery.
As he approached Linjiang City, Huang Yun's brows couldn't help but furrow even deeper. Although it cannot be said that there is a large number of victims, the number of victims is increasing, and most of them are elderly, weak, women and children.
"General Zhao, how far is it ahead?" Huang Yun asked.
"There are still more than three hundred miles!" Zhao An said with a deep sigh. There was also some worry between the eyebrows.
"What is the place ahead, but there is a town?" Huang Yun asked, looking ahead.
"There is a county town called Chaxiaogang. It is an important fork in the way to Linjiang City and Fuping City. ”
"Is there a granary or something?" asked Huang Yun sideways.
"Yes, however, the granaries there are all military supplies, and no one can call them without the emperor's order. ”
Huang Yun flipped his hand and took out his identity token. Hand it to Zhao An and said, "Take my token, find the local official, and immediately open a warehouse to release grain." At the same time, officials were dispatched to post notices telling the nearby victims not to wander around, and it was better to stay here and wait for the disaster to be helped. ”
"That's not right! That's military supplies. Zhao An was stunned for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed face,
"Is there a war now?" Huang Yun's face sank.
"That's not it. But ......"
"Nothing, though, now I'm an inspector, everything is up to me, and I'm solely responsible for what goes wrong. Huang Yun stopped Zhao An from talking.
"Okay! I'll do it myself. Zhao An pondered for a moment and said helplessly.
Looking at Zhao An's back, Huang Yun's eyes flashed gloomily. The common people are dying of hunger, and they still stink and pay attention to something.
In the afternoon of the next day, Huang Yun and the 3,000 Iron Guards came to the county seat of Chaxiaogang.
Although the scale of the county seat is not large, it is extremely prosperous, but after Huang Yun entered the county seat, he couldn't help but show a suspicious look.
There are many victims on the road, but it is quiet and prosperous, and at the same time, there is not a single refugee to be seen on the street. This situation can only show one problem, the prosperity and tranquility of the city is an illusion.
"Qin Zheng, you take someone to the post station, I have something to leave. Huang Yun said with a deep groan.
Qin Zheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and walked forward with more than a dozen iron guards.
Although Chaxiaogang is the county seat, it is also difficult to arrange for 3,000 iron guards to live, so except for some personal guards, the army is camped outside the city.
After getting off the black horse, Huang Yun's figure flickered and disappeared into the street.
Walking into the back street, Huang Yun listened for a while, then sniffed a few more times, and after raising his eyebrows slightly, he walked towards the remote place.
In this way, after walking more than a dozen streets, Huang Yun finally came to the entrance of a remote street.
Standing here and looking into the street, his face suddenly turned blue.
Within the street of about ten zhang, three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry were full of officers and soldiers. In the middle of these officers and soldiers, the blackened refugees sat in the middle of the street. They were ragged and unkempt. They all look like refugees.
A little girl of seven or eight years old had just stood up, and an officer and soldier who was nearby immediately raised the soft whip in his hand. Pump it down hard.
The whip was whipped on the girl's back, and the little girl screamed and then began to cry.
"Shut up, I'm crying and slashing you. The officers and soldiers threatened. A woman hurriedly grabbed the little girl and covered her mouth.
Huang Yun's heart trembled, and anger rose in his chest. In the past, Huang Yun always felt that the scene of the victims on TV was a bit fake, but now it seems that the TV is not real enough.
Taking a deep breath, he stood still and looked at the end of the refugee. Preliminary estimates put the number of refugees here at least three to four thousand
"Who are these people?" asked Huang Yun as he pulled a passing woman.
"Don't ask, they're all poor people," the woman sighed and walked over.
Next, Huang Yun asked a few more people, and finally learned the inside story from the mouth of an old man.
It turned out that after knowing that the three princes were coming to inspect today, Cheng in Chaxiaogang County immediately drove the refugees in the county here. And sent officers and soldiers to strictly guard them to prevent the refugees from being seen by Huang Yun.
These refugees have been here for four or five days, with only one bowl of gruel a day. Although not to starve to death. But he couldn't fill his stomach, the refugees were very kind, and they felt that this Xiaogang County was a Qing official.
After Huang Yun inquired about the inside story, he did not go to the post station, but continued to wander around the street.
Three or four hours later, Huang Yun returned to the station. At this time, it is already overcrowded. The squires and wealthy families of Chaxiaogang are crowded here, hoping to see the current third prince Huang Yun.
Huang Yun didn't alarm anyone, sneaked into the post station, and came to the hall of the post station.
In the hall, Qin Zheng Guo Xing sat in the main seat, and all kinds of people sat on both sides. Some wore official uniforms, some wore armor, and some wore silk and satin. Tall, short, fat, skinny, you name it.
In the first place on the left sits a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears and an official hat. Although he didn't know the official position and official uniform of Yuguo, Huang Yun guessed that this person should be the chief official of Chaxiaogang County.
In the first place on the right, there is a big man with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his momentum is compelling. There was a faint aura of fierceness on his body. He was dressed in silver armor, wearing a feathered helmet and a three-foot steel knife at his waist. Sit with your legs spread apart. From time to time, his gaze at Qin Zheng was full of mockery and disdain.
Huang Yun first looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall, and then walked in.
As soon as Huang Yun walked into the hall, Qin Zheng and Guo Xing hurriedly stood up.
"The Three Princes. The two of them clasped their fists and saluted, and hurriedly gave Huang Yun to the main seat.
At this time, the people in the hall had already stood up, and when Huang Yun sat on the main seat, they immediately stood in formation and collectively saluted Huang Yun.
Huang Yun waved his hand and said lightly, "Everyone sit down." ”
