After He Li, follow the reckless man to flee the wasteland and farm the fields

Chapter 224 Mocheng
When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw these suspicious prisoners, they immediately arrested them and sent them to the government office. The magistrate didn't even need to use torture, and they would give a thorough confession as soon as the gavel was slapped.

Fortunately, Ji Shuisheng and the others walked one step faster than these prisoners. They all passed by, and these prisoners were discovered by the government.

Fortunately, he met an arrogant county magistrate. He judged that the person who kidnapped Xing Ruhai would not go to Jingshi Road, but must have gone south, so he sent people to chase him all the way south.

All the servants who were killed were also dug out, and more than a dozen corpses were placed on the floor.

This is considered a major case in the Great Xia Kingdom, because it was Xing Ruhai who was kidnapped, and the Wan family got the news quickly, and they blamed the matter on the emperor.

Thinking that the emperor secretly rescued Xing Ruhai, they must destroy the people the emperor wants to protect, so they started posting reward notices everywhere.

However, Wan's family, who were wise and confused for a while, did not expect that Xing Ruhai went to Jingshi Road after being rescued, and those arrest notices were posted all over the southern cities all the way south.

The Taohuawu team walked unimpeded for more than ten days. Xing Ruhai and his wife took medicine for ten days in a row, and today they can finally remove the cotton bandage.

Both of them were worried, Xing Ruhai thought that his face would definitely lack a piece of skin, and Mrs. Xing thought that her face was at most just that the wound healed and it was not so scary.

Without a mirror they cannot see their own face, but they can see each other's.

"Husband, your face is healed."

Mrs. Xing looked at her husband in surprise. Xing Ruhai was also a white-faced scholar when he was young. He was a handsome and handsome boy. He had three beards when he was old. After years of precipitation and the growth of knowledge, he became more mature. He is a handsome and elegant uncle.

"Madam, your face is also healed."

Xing Ruhai couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his wife's restored face. There was really no scar at all. Such a deep wound healed so perfectly?
"Really?"

Mrs. Xing was also excited when she saw the joy in her husband's eyes. She touched her face with trembling fingers. It was as smooth as a peeled lychee, full of moisture, smooth and tender.

"The girl's great kindness and virtue can't be repaid by the little woman."

Mrs. Xing came to Su Qing with tears in her eyes, and made a deep respect for her.

Su Qing glanced at her indifferently, and handed over two Yi Rong pills.

"Eat it."

Their current identities are ordered criminals by the imperial court, and there is no guarantee that someone will recognize them. Su Qing also had to change their appearance for the sake of caution.

Neither Mrs. Xing nor Xing Ruhai asked what the medicine was?He trusted Su Qing so much that he swallowed the medicine directly.

After a while, I felt that my face was hot, as if it was burned by fire, and the two touched their faces nervously.

"My husband, your face has changed."

"Ma'am, your face has also changed."

The two were surprised to find that their appearance had changed, completely different from the original one.

"Don't panic, you two, this is Yi Rong Wan."

Qin Feng, who came here, comforted them with a smile. Seeing Qin Feng's face, Xing Ruhai was relieved, and nodded with a smile:

"Okay, this is good."

On the road, I often see people galloping on horseback. They are all soldiers in military uniforms. Unlike the domineering soldiers they encountered along the way, not only do they not disturb the people, but when they see the people fleeing from famine, they always ride around on horseback, just like Wan Jiajun. Rampage, riding and stomping are even more non-existent.

"What kind of army are these?"

When Ji Shuisheng saw these soldiers who loved the people, he asked his grandfather.

"In the past, all the people guarding the frontier were your father's subordinates. Later, they were divided into various cities by the emperor to serve as city guards. I just don't know if these people are the former Xiao's army?"

Qin Feng looked at the soldiers who were flying away with lonely and sad eyes.

The Xiao Family Army used to be invincible and guarded the Great Xia Kingdom like a fortress. The people of Tartan were terrified when they heard the news of the Xiao Family Army. With the Xiao Family Army, they would not dare to set foot in the Great Xia Kingdom for a day.

Both the emperor and the Wan family army knew this truth very well, so nearly half of the guards on Jingshi Road and the guards in the northern border cities had Xiao's army.

Only one military flag has kept the Great Xia Kingdom safe for more than ten years!
Ji Shuisheng looked sad. If his father was still alive, could he see the soldiers he personally trained to serve as the city defenders?
After another five or six days of hard walking, there are still hundreds of miles away from the Jingshi Road. The dawn has already been seen, but the weather is getting colder. Those who wear cotton clothes are fine, but those villagers who do not have cotton clothes and cotton shoes are freezing. .

Ji Shuisheng and the others are men, and the cotton-padded clothes and shoes are given to the elderly, children and women, and the men rely on their own strength to hold on.

The city ahead was called Mocheng, and it was the last big city on Jingshi Road, so Ji Shuisheng decided to go to the city to buy supplies.

The food supply has long since bottomed out, and this road is mostly dry and sandy, and they have to go to the city to buy water if they can't find water sources nearby, so they drove three carriages. follow along.

Ji Shuisheng looked at Zhong Yong, who was as tall as a horse and as big as a giant, and shook his sleeves to pretend to be pitifully stupefied. He couldn't help but agree.

Ji Shuisheng left Qiu Yongkang to protect the villagers with Qu Da and the others. Su Qing must go with her. She also has to buy a lot of things.

Ji Xiaoying looked at Su Qing expectantly with her big watery eyes. Going to the city is dangerous, but it's much more fun than staying here.

And she is not only good at embroidering fists and legs now, she is also very good after learning from Sister Su Qing for so long!

"Let's go!"

Su Qing couldn't see her pleading eyes and decided to take her with her.

"Sister Su Qing, can you take me into the city?"

Jiang Yuyan came to look for Su Qing, it was the first time she made excessive demands, Su Qing glanced at her, Jiang Yuyan's eyes were expectantly tense, for fear that she would not agree to him.

"Ah."

Su Qing agreed, and Li Shuang'er and the others were envious when they saw that Xiaoying and Jiang Yuyan could follow Su Qing into the city.

But they also know that too many people can't go, even though they desire in their hearts, they can only stay away.

A group of five people entered the city with three carriages. The soldiers guarding the city were obviously stricter than those in Zhaoyuan County. Everyone who entered the city had to carefully verify their identity, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing that there were five of Ji Shuisheng and the others, Zhong Yong was tall and strong, and he was particularly eye-catching. The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to slack off, and interrogated them very strictly.

"Back to the army master, let's go to the city to buy food and water."

Ji Shuisheng hurriedly bowed to reply, and showed the guides and documents to the officers and soldiers:

"We are from the Zhaoyuan Escort Bureau, escorting a batch of goods to Jingshi Road."

The officers and soldiers checked the documents carefully. The fake documents made by Qiu Yongkang could be confused with the real ones. When they saw the impeccable fake documents, the officers and soldiers nodded and let them go.

Mocheng is not as prosperous as Zhaoyuan County. At a glance, there are low mud houses everywhere. There are very few businesses doing business, and there are almost no people on the street.

Seeing strangers entering the city, they all looked very nervous and vigilant.
