Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining shook his head, unintentionally fiddled with the sapphire gourd, turned around and walked slowly inside with Jiyun and Bingtang.

The food in Jingang is tight these days, but Pang Xiao couldn’t bear to let Qin Yining go hungry. Pang Xiao was a porridge. Qin Yining ate better than Pang Xiao. Every time Pang Xiao delivered porridge, Pang Xiao would do it. I caught it for Qin Yining. Qin Yining didn't have much appetite, and he deliberately saved some, but Pang Xiao was eating what Qin Yining left after every meal.

The masters are all like this, and the others are in similar situations.

Jiyun, Bingtang and others felt distressed when they saw it, and they wished they could contribute their rations.But Qin Yining refused every time, and watched them eat, telling them every time: Now is not the time to enjoy, just live.

They were moved by the master who thought for them.

Therefore, the food crisis has become a heavy burden on everyone.

"The prince really has no other way. The situation in Golden Harbor City is still good, and the situation outside the city is even more miserable. Chen Zhixian orders people to check the situation every day, and gather the dead people to deal with it, just for fear of some epidemic. "Jiyun said.

Bingtang sighed: "But people live in such an atmosphere and watch their relatives and friends die every day. Even if they survive in the future, they are afraid they will collapse mentally."

A few people returned to the room, Qin Yining sat down on the warm kang with thick duck down mattresses next to the window, and sighed: "Now we can only do our best to keep more people alive. Only by living can we have emotions. As for whether she can accept it in her heart , Can only be handed over to time."

This topic was too heavy, and several people did not speak for a while.

Qin Yining looked at the half-open window and saw a few yellow leaves drifting and falling on the neat bluestone floor tiles.

At this moment, a person came quickly and stepped across a few fallen leaves on the ground.

"Wang Concubine." It was Liao Zhibing who came.

Seeing that it was Liao Zhibing coming, Qin Yining stood up, his eyes were dark for a moment, and she immediately supported the square table.

Jiyun and Bingtang hurriedly supported Qin Yining, "Princess, you get up slowly."

"It's okay." Qin Yining walked quickly to the door, "Mr. Liao, how is it?"

Liao Zhibing smiled and said: "Fortunately, the first batch of treasures have been replaced with gold and silver and silver tickets. This meeting is already outside the city. Princess, do you ask someone to bring these things in?"

Qin Yining thought for a while and smiled: "No, it's too eye-catching to come into the city. Let's take these treasures to Huimin Village immediately. The prince is visiting Liu Yuan today to avoid being misunderstood as a bandit. ', the sooner you go, the better."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Liao Zhibing was very happy when he learned that his party had arrived in time, and was busy making arrangements.

Qin Yining instructed people to prepare a car, bring Bingtang and Jiyun, and leave the Yamen under the guards of four secret agents including Jingzhe.

The weather is getting cold, the streets are bleak, and no one is seen everywhere.The desolate scene makes people feel depressed just looking at it.

After leaving the city gate, Qin Yining felt a chill on his back when he saw Chen Zhixian order people to set up a porridge shed for disaster relief.

If it is improperly handled and no food can be obtained, it is still unknown how many of these people will die.

Thinking about this, Qin Yining's eyes became firm, and he ordered people as soon as possible.

This time, Liao Zhibing acted with a few elite tiger guards. All of them had followed Qin Yining to Shuize Country. They were all familiar faces, and they were more cordial when they met.

And when these people salute Qin Yining, they are also a bit close and casual.

The group of people rushed to Huimin Village, and arrived at their destination in a short time.

There is only one spacious street in the whole village. On both sides of the road are row upon row of houses and courtyards. At this time, the houses are all white, and it is autumn again, and the desolation is so desperate.

However, there is another one that is unique and looks like a standout in this village.

Just look at that courtyard wall is twice as high as an ordinary home's courtyard wall, and there are high platforms for observation at the four corners.Although the building is not so exquisite, it looks more stylish than ordinary people.

The goal is so clear, it saves the search time.

Qin Yining led people to the courtyard, but for a long time he saw hundreds of royal guards lined up outside the courtyard.

The courtyard door was open, and Pang Xiao was talking with a sixtieth old man in a navy blue muslin robe.

The old man’s attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, "... The prince is for the people, and this old man can understand. But look, there are dozens of people in the old family. Besides, the food in my hand is not brought by the wind. The prince is benevolent. People, help the saints, love the people, are more wise and righteous than the faint monarchs of the previous dynasty. Where have you gone? This time the prince brought so many people to block the door of the old man, what do you say if you want to be called the old man?"

This seems to be unruly, but in fact it is both soft and hard. If the present is really unreasonable, I am afraid that the old man will be directly punished for the crime of disrespect, but Pang Xiao is not such a person. If you want to come to the old man, you will also see Pang Xiao. The temperament dare to speak like this.

Pang Xiao smiled, hearing the sound of footsteps and the sound of carriages and horses, looking back, he was seeing Qin Yining raising the curtain of the car to look at him.Seeing Liao Zhibing and his party and several carriages behind Qin Yining, he suddenly understood.

His baby is pimple, because he is afraid that he will not be able to move without money, and he has a reputation as a bandit on his white back.

Pang Xiao hadn’t planned to grab it, but seeing the people in the city die one by one, whether the Holy Spirit had any reaction, he couldn’t bear to watch so many people starve to death. Before the treasure arrived, he wanted to take credit first and solve the urgent need. of.

However, this member of Liu is an old treacherous and cunning person. He doesn't want to eat at all. It's useless to know how to move with emotion and reason. If he speaks a little harder, he will lie on the ground and threaten Pang Xiao to abuse ordinary people.Pang Xiao's attitude eased a little, and he brought out the same face again.

Pang Xiao even wondered whether to put pressure on him or not, but Qin Yining happened to be here at this time.

Pang Xiao said: "I understand Liu Yuanwai's meaning. I am just a reckless man, and I dare not compare it with anyone. I don't want to grab you for this food. I'm not talking with you if I stand here for so long. Is the price? Liu Yuanwai is a smart person. You should know that my patience is very limited, right?"

Member Liu saw it outside and couldn't help taking a sip of water, reflecting on what he had just said, and couldn't help sweating.

Pang Xiao said: "This year's season is not good, God is not willing to enshrine the people, the people are hungry for so long, I am afraid that patience is long gone. The court is a clever woman who can't cook without rice, but the rice is here. You said. , What if you let people know that there are so many grains in your hand?"

Member Liu's expression turned pale.

It is true that he has food in his hands, but he also dared not openly tell anyone that even the nursing home at home may not know what he placed in his warehouse.

Whoever has the big fist in this world has the final say.If the prince loyalty ordered someone to rob him, or he directly publicized the matter, I am afraid that the prince of loyalty would not need to send someone, even the hungry people would be able to rob their home.

Maybe the family will be dead by then!

Thinking about this, the facial features outside Liu Yuan were all tangled together.

Seeing that this person finally had fear, Pang Xiao said: "You don't need to be nervous outside Liu. This king is just stating the facts and has no other meaning. After all, today this king is here to buy grain and grass. This king will not ask Liu to be outside. It must be sold at a certain price, but the same people are from Dazhou. Seeing that so many people starve to death, Liu Yuanwai has to think about what price is right. Don’t worry, as long as the price is right, this king will give it away. The money comes. It will never be in arrears, let alone grab the grain when you see it."

Seeing that Pang Xiao had been standing here and talking to him for so long, the member Liu saw that if it was a bad-tempered or domineering person, maybe he had the time to speak, soldiers and horses would have already rushed in.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan said: "No wonder the prince, the old man can't help it, you said, there are so many people in the family. What's more, there is indeed a shortage of food now. The old man can't sell all the food stored to you, please forgive me. ."

"It's easy to say." Pang Xiao waved his hand freely, and said: "You only want to say the price."

Member Liu thought about it for a while, and pointed a few fingers at Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words: "It seems that this king's words still haven't been thoroughly explained to Liu Yuanwai. Or, Liu Yuanwai himself still can't figure it out?"

Looking back around, Pang Xiao sighed: "The mountains and rivers here make it more comfortable to live. It's a pity that the year is not good, and the number of hungry people is more and more. Many people who fall into the grass and don't know where they are hiding are really disturbing. ."

Liu Yuan looked at Pang Xiao's eyes with murderous intent, and immediately realized his heart-to-heart talk, and quickly put away two fingers, "Master, there can be no less. No matter how young and old you are, you will lose your money. Think about it. How long has this heavy rain been. The price of food changes every day, so you have to be considerate of the old."

When Pang Xiao saw that he was frightened, it worked. Liu Yuanwai turned pale in fright, covered in cold sweat, trembling, and letting his lips relax, he couldn't help but smile secretly.

Pang Xiao still looked serious, with a calm face and did not speak.

Jinghuwei, who was accompanied by the side, saw this and immediately came forward and said, "Master, you don't think this member of the Liu family is sincere in doing business with you. You might as well ask the Liu family, who else has more food nearby? It’s okay to keep it here later."

What's going on later?

Liu Yuan’s scared hairs stood up, staring at Pang Xiao nervously, gritted his teeth and put a finger away, "Master, you can do it well, you really can’t be less. You can’t say you’re here to sell food. , Let the old man take your money?"

"Presumptuous!" After listening to Jingzhe for a long time, he immediately stepped forward cleverly and said: "Dare to be rude to the prince! Don't you want the top of the head!"

"My lord, my lord, if you say what the price is, please tell me how old you are." Liu Yuanwai almost hugged his head and avoided.

Pan Xiao saw that he was scared enough, and said with a smile: "No. This king is not going to make you lose money. If you can use the grain and grass here, you can sell it to this king. In addition, the grain merchants whom Liu also knows , I also recommend a few to this king."
