Chapter 374: Donate Food
Chapter 374 Food Donation
The officials who hunted down fugitives in the capital were still traveling through the streets, and Yin Miao and Li Tianyang, disguised as they were, successfully turned into a single courtyard in the palace of Xuanwang.
Zheng Feiyao, dressed in commoner clothes, was cooking soup and medicine, and immediately stood up when she saw Yin Miao coming over.
“Miao Er!”
Yin Miao saw that Zheng Feiyao’s expression was still relaxed and asked, “Is uncle getting better?”
“My father was only awake for a moment, and then fell asleep again. Doctor Yu said that my father was awake longer today than yesterday, so he should have improved.”
Zheng Feiyao replied.
“Well, that’s fine. If we have nothing to do these days, we will come over to help.”
Yin Miao had already filled the store with supplies, while Xiao Xuan was still discussing with Tang Jin about the future grain transportation, so she ran out first.
“This is really exciting. The officials outside are arresting people everywhere, but the Xuanwang Mansion, which has its doors open, can’t get in, haha!”
Li Tianyang thought it was very funny. The gate of Xuanwang Mansion was surrounded by people who came to get porridge, and the gate was open, but the officials ignored it.
Think about it too, how could someone hide someone in the palace of Xuanwang, after all, this is a place that attracts the attention of thousands of people.
“Even so, you have to be careful. If you searched the whole city and couldn’t find anyone, it’s inevitable that you won’t find this place.”
Su Wanfeng came out of the back room, and he still had a box of silver needles for acupuncture in his hand.
“Uncle is fine, we just stopped by to see what else is missing here.”
Seeing the father and daughter meet with her own eyes, Yin Miao felt relieved.
“Miao’er, there is one more thing that I’m quite concerned about.”
Zheng Feiyao remembered what they saw outside the capital while waiting for dark, and thought it would be better to tell Yin Miao.
“What’s up?”
Yin Miao sat down curiously, but Zheng Feiyao’s next words made her more and more concerned.
It turned out that after Zheng Feiyao and Su Wanfeng were blocked by the gate guards, they pretended to walk towards a town near the capital, but they stopped at an inconspicuous place halfway along the way, ready to replace the gate guards. Go and try again.
While they were waiting, they saw a carriage and horses bearing the logo of the North Rou country. The carriage was full of people, as if they were going to be taken somewhere. Later, Zheng Feiyao tried to ask after handing over the food to the guards, only to find out that it was a team that was going to take the people who had nowhere to go to open up the surrounding wasteland.
“We just thought it was strange. I’ve been in the capital for 20 years, and there doesn’t seem to be a place to open up wasteland around here, and I can see it clearly. It’s really the carriage and horses of the North Rou country.”
Zheng Feiyao felt better after she said it.
“Suspicious indeed, this matter was ignored by us before.”
Yin Miao pondered that when they came, they had doubted why there were no refugees gathered around the capital.
“Are all those refugees taken away? Thinking about it, I’m terrified!”
Li Tianyang said.
“Brother Li, what do you mean by thinking about it?” Su Wanfeng heard such a statement for the first time in her life, and she was inevitably curious.
“It’s just… It sounds like a normal thing, but if you think about it carefully, you will find something that makes people feel scary. Don’t you think this is a bit weird?”
Li Tianyang took the trouble to explain that this is their new vocabulary in the 21st century.
“Indeed.” Su Wanfeng nodded in agreement.
“Why did you go in that direction after you were rejected by the gatekeepers for the first time?”
Yin Miao asked Zheng Feiyao that there could be a closer hiding place outside the city gate, so why did these two go to Huaye Town?
“I remembered when you said that. At that time, a defender told us to go to Huaye Town, saying that there might be a way out there.”
Zheng Feiyao replied.
“It turned out that someone was pointing the way. It seems that there is indeed a problem with this matter.”
Yin Miao took this matter to heart, maybe this matter could become their next turning point.
“There is a problem, there is definitely a problem, why don’t you leave this matter to me?”
Li Tianyang asked after he and Yin Miao left the palace of Xuanwang.
“You?” Yin Miao thought about it, if Li Tianyang went alone, it would be possible, he had space in his hand, and it was not easy to be noticed.
“Yeah, my favorability has been on the rise recently. If I find out something useful, the master will definitely be more satisfied with me.”
Li Tianyang said excitedly, knowing that confessing with Xiao Xuan would be more conducive to increasing his favorability, he should have confessed from the beginning.
“Also, but you have to be careful, we will suffer a big loss if we die.”
But two lifetimes, Yin Miao explained.
“Yes!”
Li Tianyang, who got the new task, disappeared in the crowd halfway back to ‘Puyu’. When Yin Miao returned, she found that Tang Jin had left.
“It’s all negotiated?”
Yin Miao took the glass of water Xiao Xuan poured for her and asked.
“Well, we plan to bypass the imperial court directly and supply food and grass directly from me.”
Xiao Xuan saw that Yin Miao’s forehead had a thin layer of sweat, so he took out his handkerchief and handed it over.
“Thank you, but if you do this, that person will be **** off?”
Yin Miao wiped her sweat and stuffed her used handkerchief into the space.
“Tang Jin is not worried, why should we worry?”
Xiao Xuan said with a smile, although Tang Jin was leading this matter, it could be considered that they publicly declared war on the imperial court.
But he wasn’t afraid either.
In the afternoon, several soldiers in the army passed by Nanyang Road, the main road in the capital, wearing sackcloth and filial piety. They carried several coffins among them, which attracted the pointers of passers-by.
“How is this going?”
“It is said that a lot of people starved to death in the military camp, and I want to send them the last journey.”
“Recently, there are porridges from the Xuanwang Mansion. Few people starve to death, right? How can so many people starve to death?”
“Don’t you know that the soldiers in the barracks can only eat military salaries, and can’t come out to receive any porridge for the people!”
“In other words, our Nanxiao country can’t even maintain the army’s pay?”
“Fortunately there are no foreign enemies to attack us, otherwise it will definitely be over!”
“I don’t dare to say this, but I heard that there were several cities in the northwest that fell, and it was His Royal Highness Xuan Wang who repelled them!”
“I’ve heard this too, is it true?”
“…”
Soon, on the second day, there was a new progress in this matter.
It turned out that King Xuan was heartbroken after learning about this. It is said that many generals in the army had served as his lieutenants. Because he could not bear to see all the soldiers suffer, he decided to donate food for the entire army camp in the capital.
The people in the capital had already gathered in front of the gate of Xuanwang’s mansion, which was already in front of the Jade Gate. The news spread very quickly, but within half a day, the capital had already spread the news.
