Although he had a relationship with the Shaolin abbot, Yang Kang's trip to Shaolin was postponed to two months later because of the victims.

Fortunately, this time the Yellow River was not a big breach, and there was no situation of starvation for thousands of miles, under the wise command of the supreme governor Wanyan Honglie, with the strong support of the gentry in various places, coupled with the cooperation of the government and the people, they finally survived the famine crisis, which fully reflected the beautiful side of the system of the Dajin State.

This is the official article that Yang Kang saw in the recital of the palace, and the actual situation is of course much worse, and people die every day outside the city, which lasted for two whole months.

After several days of fine weather, the victims began to return to their hometowns with the little food rations they had been distributed, and they had to rebuild their homes on the collapsed villages and continue their hard work.

This is the common people of China, who can endure a single hardship if they can only survive.

Yang Kang sat in the carriage and looked at these somewhat numb and hopeful victims from the curtain, and could only wish them well.

He is not a savior, he has no grand desire to save the poor people in the world, he is just a selfish traveler who only wants to ensure the safety of himself and his loved ones.

This is Yang Kang in this life, an ordinary traverser.

When Yang Kang was heading towards Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng County, the two children rode horses to the outside of Kaifeng City, and it was Tuo Lei and Guo Jing who rushed from Mobei all the way.

The two of them first went to Zhongdu City, at that time they didn't know whether Hua Zheng followed Yan Honglie to Kaifeng, inquired in the Zhongdu City, and did not find Hua Zheng in Zhao Wangfu, so they rushed all the way to Kaifeng.

Coming to the outside of Kaifeng City made them difficult, at this time the victims have not dispersed, the gate of Kaifeng City is very strict, Tuo Lei and Guo Jing are holding a road guide issued by the Jin State in Mobei.

Taking this kind of road into the central capital will not arouse much suspicion, and there are many Mongolian herdsmen living and doing business in the central capital.

But there is a problem in Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng here I am afraid that there are no Mongolians at all, two Mongolian children suddenly come to Kaifeng, it will inevitably attract the attention of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, especially in the period of famine, the alert level in Kaifeng City is very high, once the abnormality is found, it will be reported in time.

It doesn't matter if they are here for sightseeing, but they are here to steal children, not to mention that Kaifeng Mansion is the territory of Wanyan Honglie, and if they accidentally reveal their whereabouts, they will fall short.

At this time, Tuo Lei was twelve years old and Guo Jing was eight years old.

Guo Jing is still ignorant of these details, but Tuo Lei is thoughtful and flexible, and as the planner of this operation, he does not allow himself to make such a common-sense mistake.

Of course, if he is really caught by Wanyan Honglie, they can infer that they are here to visit relatives, there is nothing wrong with the elder brother coming to see his sister, not to mention that he is the son of Temujin, presumably Wanyan Honglie will not kill him.

Two children dressed as victims of the disaster observed outside the city, watching the crowd coming in and out of the city gate, as well as the intensity of the officers and soldiers.

After two days of observation, they found that under this strict control, there was basically no possibility of entering through the city gate, but they also found a strange phenomenon, some beggars could enter and leave the city gate at will.

Those beggars dressed in tatters, holding bamboo sticks and broken bowls in their hands, entered Kaifeng City early in the morning and came out at night, living a very regular begging life.

After discussing with Guo Jingyi, Tuo Lei decided to blend in with this group of beggars and wait for an opportunity to enter the city.

Guo Jing is stronger than Tuo Lei in the common sense of the rivers and lakes, he often listens to several masters tell those martial arts stories, and knows that it is best not to provoke monks, women and beggars when walking the rivers and lakes, because there is a gang on the rivers and lakes called the Beggar Gang, which is composed of beggars from all over the world, which is not only huge, but also very difficult to provoke.

But the plan had been decided, and Guo Jing had no choice but to follow him to the gathering place of this group of beggars, a dilapidated mountain temple.

The arrival of the two children attracted the attention of the beggars, the beggar gang is a well-organized gang on the rivers and lakes, not that the beggars can join, which is divided into two factions, clean clothes and dirty clothes, and they found the territory of the dirty clothes faction.

"Two of us brothers are homeless and want to join your gang and beg for shelter. Tulei clasped his hands into fists and pleaded in his not very fluent Central Plains dialect.

In order to disguise the victims, Tuo Lei and Guo Jing not only tore their clothes, but also painted muddy water on their faces, which looked like they had the potential to be beggars.

"Let's go, this is not where you came. A young man among the beggars said aloud.

The young beggar could see at a glance that these two children were of extraordinary origin, especially the one who spoke, even if he said begging words, he still gave people a sense of superiority.

The two children were suspicious, so he flatly refused.

"It is rumored on the rivers and lakes that the people in the beggar gang are all heroic and chivalrous people, helping the weak and the poor, eliminating violence and peace, can't they take in two children?"

This sentence was heard by Guo Jing from the wonderful scholar Zhu Cong, Zhu Cong likes to tell stories about the rivers and lakes the most, Guo Jing is familiar with it, and he no longer stutters when he says it, but has an aggressive momentum.

This made the six monsters of Jiangnan who were eavesdropping outside the temple very happy, and this child did not drop the chain at a critical moment.

As soon as these words came out, the young beggar gang looked even more suspicious, these two children not only came from strange backgrounds, but also said aggressively, maybe they were sent by the enemy to make trouble, and their adults snooped on the side.

Thinking of this, the young man clenched his fist at the void and used his internal force to utter words.

"In the beggar gang five bags of disciple Lu Youjiao, I don't know which way the hero and the beggar gang have grievances, please show up. ”

This young beggar is Lu Youjiao, one of the future four elders of the beggar gang, at this time he was only a five-bag disciple, and he was appointed as the incense master here, presiding over the affairs of the beggar gang in the Kaifeng area.

Since the Jin State occupied Jiangbei, the survival situation of the beggar gang here has become more and more difficult, and the Jin State has adopted a suppressive attitude towards the beggar gang, but there are countless beggars in the world, and how to suppress it, especially in the famine years, it is even more difficult to control.

The activities of the beggar gang in Jiangbei are mainly to spy on intelligence, and sometimes assassinate local officials, and they belong to the category of terrorists.

In the original story, Yang Kang got a dog beating stick, and almost became the leader of the beggar gang at the Junshan Conference of the Beggar Gang, in order to facilitate the southern invasion of the Jin State, the first thing he did was to withdraw the Beggar Gang disciples from Jiangbei, which shows that the Beggar Gang disciples caused great trouble to the Jin State in Jiangbei.

The Jin State had a headache with the beggars, so in order to facilitate control, they had to limit the number of beggars, register the beggars, and issue nameplates, so that only beggars with signs could go to the city to beg.

This is the strange situation that Tuo Lei and Guo Jing saw at the city gate.

The six monsters in Jiangnan heard Lu Youjiao's words outside the broken temple, and heard that there was a taste of challenge in them, and knew that if they didn't show up again, it would cause misunderstanding, so they reported their names, and the two sides met to explain the reason.

Lu Youjiao heard that the two children were going to fight against Jin Guo, or snatching the children from Wanyan Honglie's mansion, which was his temper, so with the help of the beggar gang, the six monsters in Jiangnan prepared to make a big fuss in Kaifeng Mansion and give the people of Jin Guo a little color.
