Chapter 95 Inquiry

"I should be able to read when I listen to your conversation, right? Why don't you find some way to help others write and write letters?"

His voice suddenly interrupted, and the two siblings immediately raised their heads and looked at him.

"We won't sell ourselves!"

The one who spoke was her sister. She looked at Jiang Heng vigilantly, stretched out her little hand to protect her younger brother, looking like she was protecting her calf.

"I'm an official, not a human trafficker!"

Jiang Heng said, pointing at his mysterious clothes, then patted the waist sign on his waist and smiled bitterly. This little guy obviously regarded him as a human trafficker.

"Yes! This man is working on the job at the Fufu Department, but he is a noble man!" The stall owner naturally knew the origin of Jiang Heng's clothes, so he also quickly said to him.

Jiang Heng looked at the sister carefully. If it weren't for the Adam's apple and the bulge on his chest, he wouldn't even be sure that this was a girl.

"Do you need help? I may be able to provide you with a job." He sympathized with the two siblings. His family was a big business, so this was just two extra pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

"Take it seriously!" The younger brother stood up and stared at him.

My sister trembled while standing by, obviously very excited, just trying to suppress herself.

"Take it seriously." Jiang Heng nodded.

"What do you want us to do? We can read and we can also read basic arithmetic." The younger brother said quickly, then thought for a while and pointed at his sister: "My sister is also readable, and the cooking is very delicious!"

"I just want to ask you a few questions. Don't worry, as long as you tell me the answer, I will definitely arrange a job for you to have enough food!" Jiang Heng waved his hand and smiled warmly.

“What’s the problem?”

My sister did not agree directly but said vigilantly.

Seeing this little girl's look so alert, it makes people feel a little touched.

"Don't worry, it's okay if I can't answer. I will let you have enough food."

"Then...you ask!" Seeing Jiang Heng's kind look, her sister relaxed a little, and she did not refuse.

Jiang Heng nodded, looked at the two of them, and said, "Did you two come from the north?"

"Um!"

Both little guys nodded.

"Yunzhou?" Jiang Heng asked again.

The two of them still nodded, but their little heads seemed a little sad.

"Have you seen the plateau people?"

Jiang Heng pondered for a moment before asking.

Since these two people came from Yunzhou, I think they have some understanding of the situation there.

He wanted to verify the guess in his heart and prepare in advance.

However, the two little things were so scared that they shook their heads with pale faces, as if they had recalled something terrible.

"No... I haven't seen it before, Dad said that everyone I've seen is dead!"

The little girl hugged her brother who was trembling so much that he was scared.

"Okay! I won't mention this question for now. Then I would like to ask, what is the situation in Yunzhou? What do I mean is the battle between the border army and the plateau people?"

Jiang Heng seemed very patient, kept a gentle smile, and his tone was very light.

"I don't know! We don't know!" The little girl shook her head again, "It's just that I heard someone who was running away occasionally mention it.

It seems that more than two months ago, the Zhenbei Army suffered a great defeat on the border. General Zhenbei was killed in battle, losing more than 60,000 yuan. He even lost the border fortress and dozens of cities! Now he has retreated to the hinterland of Yunzhou."

The little girl looks like she is eleven or twelve years old, but she actually looks very calm and speaks clearly without much hindrance.

However, Jiang Heng frowned slightly when he heard this.

"The plateau people suddenly entered the hinterland of Yunzhou, but you brothers have never seen the plateau people? Then why did you escape?"

The frontline collapse is so abrupt that it is impossible to migrate the people in advance.

The little girl's eyes were a little red, and she held back her tears and said in a crying voice: "My family is Yunhai Prefecture City, the hinterland of Yunzhou. When the Zhenbei Army retreated to Yunhai City, she forced the people of the city to abandon their homes and unable to escape! My father starved to death on the road that could not escape."

Hearing this, Jiang Heng was slightly silent, and the clues learned from the little girl were really limited.

However, it seems that the court is indeed hiding some things on the border.

These Zhenbei troops drove away the people in the city as if they were considering the people.

After all, if you want to force the young and strong people to defend the city, there is no need to let these two little guys' fathers go out of the city.

Similarly, the people in the city were the least effective and could transport the equipment to defend the city, so there was no need to drive them all away and order them to move south.

"Didn't you see the fleeing people at that time?"

Jiang Heng said in a little puzzled.

"No!"

The little girl shook her head again and said in a daze: "At that time, only Zhenbei Army retreated to Yunhai City, and the rest were gone."

"There is not a single refugee?" Jiang Heng said unwillingly.

"No! I didn't see it, only Zhenbei Army wearing armor."

Hearing this, Jiang Heng's expression was a little restless.

More than a dozen cities fell, and some news would definitely be heard back when the Zhenbei Army was defeated in the front. However, no people fled.

What is this situation?

Could it be that the so-called plateau people marched extremely quickly and did not give the people of more than ten cities the slightest time to escape?

But this is not the era of nuclear weapons. The kind that can be washed away by a nuclear bomb and can never escape.

Fuck! What did the court hide?

This plateau people are definitely not as simple as the barbarians.

Because according to the news spread by the court, the people of the plateau were just some barbarians on the grassland, but they often attacked the Great Yan due to the benefits of war horses.

But can this mere barbarian make Da Yan so anxious?

The imperial court formed a powerful Pacification Division just to solve the problem of the tyrants of martial arts.

There is no reason why there will be no stronger force among the border troops!

But this was beaten by the people on the plateau and urinated.

Jiang Heng knew his strength, and he guessed that if he was in the army, with his terrifying body, he would be worth it if he was just an elite number less than a thousand people.

But this is not the meridian refining realm, nor is it the grandmaster realm!

That terrible guess swept across my mind again!

"Don't be really a copy of the Great Wall's different world!"

Jiang Heng recalled a movie he had watched in his previous life and sighed slightly in his heart.

He touched the heads of the two little guys and smiled gently, "You have helped me a lot! Since that's the case, I won't go back on my word. This is a ingot of silver. You should pay attention to it for one night. I'll go to Dongjiang Mansion in Cheng to find me tomorrow. I will arrange for you guys who can eat hot meals without being hungry and freezing."

As he said that, Jiang Heng put a ingot of silver in the little girl's hand, stood up with a heavy step and left absent-mindedly.

Looking at the tall figure gradually fading away, the two of them looked at each other blankly.

"Sister, we don't have to go hungry (???????)." The younger brother then showed a surprise expression on his face.

The little girl just nodded silently.

"Just... sister, why don't you tell this uncle the truth? And this uncle is still an official!"

"No need, it's useless to say it. Have you forgotten the past? No one will believe it after saying it, but you will say we are crazy!" The little girl shook her head helplessly.

Only then did my brother remember some unpleasant things that happened before. At that time, he was almost thought to be a witch that made people confused and beaten to death in public.
