Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3111 Help! (three more)

In Helan Prefecture, the imperial envoy Mu Zichuan and his deputy Daan stayed in the camp.

"Brother Zichuan, the latest news is that hundreds of hungry people rushed to the county government office in Yingkou County, eighty miles away, and smashed the county government office."

"The county magistrate ran away with his family, and now Yingkou County is in chaos."

Da'an rushed into the camp and told Mu Zichuan the latest news he just found out.

Mu Zichuan was standing in front of the desk, with his hands behind him overlooking a map of Helanzhou spread out on the desk in front of him.

Wen Yan frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Da'an, pass on the order to break out of camp and set off immediately, and retreat to the place where Changhuai Prefecture is handed over a hundred miles away to the south."

"Okay, I'll pass the order right away!" Da'an turned around and hurried out of the tent.

……

On the outskirts of Yingkou County.

In the night, a team of five or six riders, all guards in black, escorted a black carriage in the middle, and drove towards Yingkou County in front of the night at a leisurely pace.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the grass on the side of the road ahead.

"Protect the master!"

The guard on the horseback at the front of the team let out a low growl, a cold light flashed, the sword at his waist was already in his hand, his sharp eyes fixed on the moving figure on the road ahead, and his murderous aura suddenly rose.

The figure on the road ahead made a 'plop' before taking two steps, and fell headlong to the ground.

"Help... help..."

The figure groaned in pain on the ground.

"what's the situation?"

A man's low voice of inquiry came from the curtain of the carriage.

"Returning to the master, there is a person lying on the road ahead, calling for help." The leading guard said.

"Go and have a look." A faint order came from the carriage.

"Yes!"

The guards got off their horses and rushed forward, then turned back quickly, "According to the master, he should be a victim of the disaster according to his clothes, but he seems to have a lot of sores on his body, and they are all festered!"

"It's all festered?" The man in the carriage pondered for a while, and then, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man in a black robe and a large black gold silk cloak got out of the carriage.

In the moonlight, half of his face was hidden in the shadow, and half was exposed in the moonlight.

The half of his face exposed under the moonlight is exactly like the current Ninth Five-Year King Qi Huang.

The middle-aged man came to the fallen victim with steady and calm steps, and slightly bent down to look at the victim on the ground.

"My fellow? Did you hear me?" he asked with a smile.

The victims on the ground opened their eyes and saw the middle-aged man in front of them, like a savior.

He struggled to reach out and tried to grab the middle-aged man's trousers, but the middle-aged man took a step back with a faint smile on his face.

"What's wrong with you, fellow? Are you hungry or sick?" the middle-aged man asked.

The victims on the ground said with difficulty: "Hungry and sick, several people in our village...are sick like me, and are dead, dead..."

"Master, save, save me..."

He struggled and wanted to grab the middle-aged man's trousers, but the middle-aged man stood up straight.

"Okay, I'll save you!"

He turned around and winked at the guard beside him.

The guard understood, came forward and slapped the victim on the back, the victim fainted before he could hum.

The guard brought a sack, put the victim in the sack, and threw it on the horse.

When it was almost dawn, the middle-aged man and his party arrived outside the city wall of Yingkou County.

The middle-aged man told the guard: "Find a place with the most traffic, and just throw away the plague victim."

"Yes!"

The guards carried the sack, took advantage of the darkness, tiptoed to the ground, and quickly climbed up the city wall and entered the county seat.

Here, the middle-aged man with his hands behind his back looked at the direction where the guard disappeared, with a sneer on his lips.

Then, he turned around again, looking in the direction of the capital, his sharp eagle-like eyes slightly narrowed.

"Brother Huang, you've been sitting on that dragon chair for too long, it's time for you to come down and change the stool, hahaha..."

……

Yang Ruoqing didn't know if Da'an and Zi Chuan had received the letter she entrusted to the Shunfeng Escort.

However, new news came back from Helanzhou.

This time, the one who brought back the news was none other than Yan Huai'an who traveled all over the world.

Yan Huai'an is almost 70 years old, but the old man has a healthy body, a red face, good teeth, and he likes to eat meat and drink in big bowls.

Although he gave birth to three sons, the three sons also do business like him, so he was asked to go back to Daliao to live in peace and happiness long ago.

But Mr. Yan Huai'an couldn't stay idle, and every year he personally brought a caravan to Changping Village to visit Tuobaxian twice a year, and brought a batch of northern things to Tuobaxian by the way.

No, even though there was a famine at this time of year, Yan Huai'an's caravan still made it to Changping Village.

"Drought, insect infestation, and the most seen along the road are the victims fleeing on a large scale."

In the room, Yan Huai'an was holding a bowl of tea in his hand, talking to Tuobaxian, Yang Ruoqing, Na Risong and Xiao Yaxue about what he had seen and heard along the way.

"In many places, the government is almost unable to suppress the vandalism and looting."

"When our caravan first entered the border of Helanzhou, we saw that all the wild vegetables on the roadside had been dug up."

"The bark has also been stripped off, and in some places, people are still digging a kind of soil called 'Guanyin soil' and eating it."

"The caravan passed through the market town, and the most seen were those with straw stuck in their heads, selling their children and daughters..."

"On the side of the road, those starving corpses are not cleaned up, wild dogs are gnawing,"

"In a place called Yingkou County in the Netherlands, the plague has started again. It is similar to the plague in the Mianniu Mountain area a few years ago. I heard that in Yingkou County, several villages, entire villages, died in just three days."

"Those infected villages were completely sealed off, and all the people and houses were burned down in one fire,"

"Perhaps there were a few uninfected people who were also burned to death. Hey, what I saw after walking this way is really a hell on earth. It's horrible!"

When Yan Huai'an said this, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Tuobaxian and Yang Ruoqing also frowned when they heard that, Tuobaxian said: "If this kind of chaos is not quickly and effectively suppressed and appeased, it will soon become a big mess."

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's already out."

Tuobaxian looked at Yang Ruoqing in surprise, "What do you say?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Da'an said in his letter last time that the disaster victims from Yingkou County gathered more than 100 people, rushed to the county government and smashed the county government, and the county magistrate ran away."

Yan Huai'an said: "It's true, I've heard about it."

"Besides, I also heard something when I came here. I don't know if it's a rumor or it's true. If it's true, then as Mrs. Xian said, I'm afraid something will really happen."

"What's the matter?" Tuobaxian asked.

Yan Huai'an glanced at the crowd, considered for a while, and then turned his head to look around.
