Chapter 1 Fighting, Robbery

The dried cake will almost collapse after chewing it. It will be chewed in your mouth and wait until the saliva is soaked soft before it can be chewed. It will be scratching its throat, stretching its neck hard and swallowing it, and then a mouthful of cold water will make a meal.

This is how Zhao Yan and Mu Yun came here in the past five days, and Fan Ju and more than 20 guards in front of the palace who were responsible for protecting them were naturally the same.

Guangrao Mansion is "broad" enough, but "rao" is not rich at all, and the poverty level far exceeds their estimates. Because it exceeds the estimates, it is inevitable that there will be insufficient preparations. At first glance, there are thousands of miles of land. Except for the larger town, the silver bills are like pieces of waste paper in your arms, and you can't buy food!

It’s just this cake that can break the teeth, or it’s bought from others at a high price.

Mu Yun was angrily and said: It was not a disaster year, but the people could be so difficult. Guangrao Mansion announced that the government could govern the land of a mansion like this, and it was also a once-in-a-century talent! I don’t know how much silver it took to perform the performance of the Ministry of Personnel every year!

After the difficult lunch at noon, everyone rested in the forest for a while and started to set off again. Not long after walking, they saw an old woman who fell to death by the road. She was skinny, with her cheeks deep and her belly collapsed. At a glance, she knew she was starved to death.

This situation has not been uncommon since it entered Guangrao Mansion, and it made people numb.

Missed the hottest sun at noon, the group got up and set off on the road again. After walking for a while, they passed by a village with a collapsed and decaying earth wall, and suddenly a group of people jumped out of the broken walls.

When both sides met, they were stunned.

This is a group of thin skinny, unkempt and dirty people, both men, women, young and old.

They each copied "weapons". Some of these "weapons" were wooden sticks; some were like a thick branch from a tree, and a "spear" made of sharp-angled stones were tied with straw ropes at the front of the branch; the luxurious ones were hoes; the most luxurious one was an axe for chopping firewood with a mouth.

Mu Yun looked over and looked at him with a little helpless look. This line of "robbers" was described as a mob. He thought that he had lost this word.

The man who was obsessed with the axe stuttered and shouted, "Battle, rob!" The bones of the hand holding the axe were white and unconsciously licked his lips. His eyes quickly avoided when they contacted the person being robbed.

Several other women, big and small, focused on the two young men who were so charming in front of them. They forgot to blink when they were old. The young man subconsciously shrank his toes outside his shoes, and then pulled his hair down and hung his head.

The half-grown boys were not interested in the handsome man. The ones interested were the horse under the handsome man's crotch. They looked over with their eyes, emitting green light, and ticked saliva and wanted to hold the horse's legs and bite.

Such a robber made Mu Yun feel a little sad when he saw it. He touched his arms and had a hard cake left in his arms. He took it out and handed it to a boy who couldn't stand firmly.

The boy's eyes lit up, he snatched it over, and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. With a slight "crack", a tooth spit out of his mouth with blood.

I don't know which guard couldn't help but chuckled.

The young man was stunned for a moment. With just a little effort, another bigger young man had already snatched the cake from him and chewed it. The young man was unwilling to force himself again.

The man holding the axe shouted: "What are you robbing? Stupid! Stealthy! Stealing the horse!"

When the rest of the people heard this, they held up the weapons in their hands and rushed forward. Fan Ju greeted him, and the guards pulled out their knives.

Zhao Yan shook his head, and took out their next move with one hand, and took out his cake and handed it out. He looked back at Fan Ju: "Give it to them!"

The guards nodded at Fan Ju, took out their own rations and handed them over. The "robbers" took the cake, took the "weapons" with a complicated look, then turned around and looked at the horses and saliva before leaving, and then looked at the strong horses, sharp swords and weapons, and kicked and nibbled the cakes.

The people who had no last rations continued to move forward. It was getting dusk. From a distance, they saw a few families in the valley scattered in the mountains and fields indiscriminately. There was a white smoke rising from the roof of a black tiled, setting off the sunset in the sky, especially the tourists felt warmth and hope.

Zhao Yan made a gesture with Fan Ju, Fan Ju nodded and ordered Xiaoqiqukuidang to go and do some things first.

Fan Ju is a hundred households in the guard camp in front of the palace. She is ordered by the Queen Mother to protect Mu Yun and Zhao Yan.

Of course, Zhao Yan knew that he was just a piggyback, and the Empress Dowager really cared about his grandson Mu Yun.

Today's Emperor Chunhe of the Emperor is not the biological daughter of the queen mother, but Mu Yun's mother, Princess Leyang, is the only remaining blood in the world. It is natural for human beings to be kind to the queen mother.

When Zhao Yan and Mu Yun entered the family, they realized that under the cute and friendly smoke, the big pot was cooked with wild vegetables. They couldn't say they were disappointed, after all, they were used to seeing each other all the way.

There is no wild vegetable soup without oil stars, let alone Zhao Yan and Mu Yun, who are precious in gold and jade, even guards from ordinary military families would rather have hunger than swallow them. Moreover, the soup in the pot is only enough for this family to starve to death, and they can't even snatch them from robbing them.

Many people in the wild evade taxes and go far away from home, and they still live in places, but there are no beddings. Fortunately, it is summer, and they use the empty room to block the jackals and roll around anywhere for a night.

In the middle of the night, after waking up from hunger, several guards had already used their bodies as bait and lay down into the mountains and fields. They caught a few evil wolves. They peeled and barbecued meat and had a full meal.

Just like this, I was hungry and full, and at least I walked out of Guangrao's Guangrao Mansion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was not necessarily very prosperous after entering Moling Mansion, there were fewer people who starved to death, and at least I had enough money to spend.

After renovation, a small county town bordering Guangrao Prefecture, we headed northwest and entered the boundary of Ganzhou.

That day, he walked to a narrow path surrounded by two high mountains. Zhao Yan looked at the terrain and slowly got off his horse. The mountains are high and dense, and the terrain is steep. It is an excellent area for ambush. After carefully looking at both sides, there were swords and weapons reflected by the sunlight. After the sunlight, there were broken silver sprinkled through the gaps of the grass leaves. It was clear that someone was ambushing here.

Zhao Yan remained silent and did not take any attention. He was just a silly young man, so how could he know this? After all, Fan Ju was the one on the dragon throne after all. On this trip, whether Fan Ju protected Mu Yun at the order of the empress dowager or guarded him at the order of the emperor, he and Mu Yun knew very well, and that the one on the dragon throne and the escorts felt that they were the young man who was doing nothing and was waiting to die.

If he really acted too capable, the one on the dragon throne wouldn't know how to eat it!
