As he spoke, Kingfisher lowered his head, seemingly giving up on covering up his embarrassment, sighed, looked at the moon and said helplessly:
"I really want to eat wheat cakes, but unfortunately I only have a little food left at home. I have to save food until the autumn harvest. My mother can't make wheat cakes. It would be nice to have some noodle soup..."
A piece of wheat cake appeared in front of me. It was dark and windy, and there was only a little pale moonlight. I could vaguely see that it was a round and thick cake.
Why is the kingfisher so sure that this is the cake and not something else?
Because she smelled the unique fragrance of wheat.
"Sister?" Kingfisher raised his head in surprise and looked at Xu Yue, "Did you give it to me?"
Xu Yue nodded and handed the wheat cake into her hand, "Eat it."
Kingfisher carefully held the thick, palm-sized wheat cake, swallowed hard, but did not eat it. His big eyes turned around, looked around Xu Yue, and asked in surprise:
"Where did you conjure up wheat cakes?"
Is it true that magic is so powerful?
Looking at Kingfisher's adoring expression, Xu Yue felt that it was even harder to explain the magic of immortality.
"Eat your food, kid, don't worry so much." Xu Yue passed her and walked towards the village faster.
It was very dark, and the kingfisher was most afraid of ghosts. He hurriedly followed it, put the wheat cake in his hand into his arms, covered it carefully, but still didn't eat it.
"When I'm hungry at night, I'll be full just by drinking a few sips of water. After I fall asleep, I'll sleep until dawn. Then my mother-in-law and my second brother will be up, and we can eat together..."
The kingfisher murmured in its mouth, planning how to eat this piece of wheat cake with the family tomorrow.
The two of them had reached the deepest part of the village and reached a familiar territory. Kingfisher became bolder and ran forward quickly and stopped in front of a low courtyard door.
"Sister, I'm here. Thank you for sending me back." Kingfisher whispered gratefully. He patted the wheat cake in his arms to confirm that it was real and would not disappear just because the magic power disappeared. He was very happy.
Xu Yue watched the little girl secretly open the courtyard door and return home, then returned to the camping ground outside the village.
Next, the brothers of the Huokang Gang who are scattered everywhere will start to take action. Whether they are in the city or the countryside, or in the mines, after getting the mission, they can start to gather their companions and encourage their workers and friends to respond to the Xu family army together.
At that time, no matter how many soldiers and horses Gongsun Zan had, it would not help.
The will of the human heart is the most powerful weapon.
When everything is ready, Wang Pingping will lead his troops south to provide strong support to the local Taoist friends in Jizhou.
Ever since, when Mr. Qin Qian was still wandering around Yi County with his pursuers, a message of "response action" was passed from the hands of countless low-level untouchables who they had never paid attention to, to every inconspicuous person in Jizhou.
corner of.
The brothers of the Huokang Gang, who were living in the mines and relying on their breath to survive, saw strong hope in their eyes that were originally numb and lifeless as soon as they received the news.
The Huokang Gang brothers who were all over Jizhou shouted excitedly: "The Xu Family Army is here, we can take action!"
So, the workers, who were being whipped all over by the overseer, suddenly rose up to resist, used all their strength, and pushed the overseer away. When the overseer was stunned, he snatched the knife from the opponent's hand.
The workers had received the food that the villagers had quietly sent up the mountain last night. Now that they had filled their stomachs, their bodies that had been working for many years burst out with amazing strength. They raised their long knives and chopped down the overseer with one blow.
Then, fellow Taoists who had succeeded from all over the place quickly gathered and led the innocent people who were forcibly escorted to the mine to escape from the mine together.
After sending away the innocent people, the brothers of the Huokang Gang rushed towards the agreed-upon gathering point.
When these scattered Taoist friends gathered from all over Jizhou, they formed a team of more than 20,000 people.
Most of them are young men, with a very small number of women and teenagers.
As the people at the bottom who are suffering, when they want to resist, no one can stop them from fighting for fair rights for themselves!
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
The sharp voice of the eunuch in charge resounded throughout the North Palace.
Immediately afterwards, the post soldiers who rushed from Jizhou to Beigong reported urgently:
"Your Majesty, the miners in Jizhou are rioting! The construction of cement roads has to be suspended! Many counties in Jizhou were attacked by mobs, and the people are panic-stricken. Yuan Song, the shepherd of Jizhou, sent an urgent letter asking for help, hoping that your majesty will send troops to suppress the riot as soon as possible!"
Zhao Yuanji, who had just gotten up, and Gongsun Zan, who was lying in the back hall recovering from illness, instantly jumped up from the couch.
Zhao Yuanji didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He rushed out of the hall barefoot and stared at the messenger with sharp eyes.
"What? Say it again!"
The postman lowered his head and repeated the news about the riot in Jizhou and asked for support.
Zhao Yuanji's face suddenly darkened and he murmured: "How could it be so fast? Have they already arrived in Jizhou?"
But he clearly arranged for people to watch outside Yi County. Mr. Qian, surnamed Qin, used to be Wang Pingping's right-hand man. He knew best what methods the five Xu family members would use. With such careful investigation, how could the Xu family possibly get out of the way?
Did he enter Jizhou right under his nose?
But if the Xu family was not in Jizhou, how could these miners suddenly launch a riot?
Without someone directing us from behind, we can't accomplish anything just by relying on those ignorant and reckless people!
Just when Zhao Yuanji couldn't figure it out, he said again: "Report——"
The messenger who had been traveling all night rushed in in embarrassment, holding a bamboo tube in his hand. When he saw Zhao Yuanji, he hurriedly knelt down and offered the bamboo tube in his hand.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest entry registration information sent from Yixian County. Please take a look at it!"
This messenger was from General Qin Qian. The reason why he hurriedly sent the registration information to Beigong overnight, which was supposed to be sent to Beigong in early March, was because of the miners' riots in various parts of Jizhou, which made General Qin Qian aware.
, I may have overlooked something.
Because he has only met Xu Qingyang, Wang Pingping and Xu Dalang, but has never met the remaining Xu sisters.
Even if there is a sketch and portrait drawn by Zhao Yuanji himself, without personal contact, he will be misjudged because of the other person's disguise or other reasons.
Zhao Yuanji opened the bamboo tube and inside was a thick stack of registration forms with sketches attached.
The faces painted by the artist are very recognizable, and Zhao Yuanji is confident that he can recognize the Xu family at a glance.
But when the registration information of Xu Da and Xu Dalang appeared in front of him, he quickly turned over it.
However, when I saw the portraits of the two children, I was stunned for a moment and felt a little strange, why would someone go out with such a young child?
But it only took a moment before I turned to the next page.
This is a pretty girl. The name on the message is Wang Youniang. She is 16 years old, 165cm tall, and her ancestral home is Shanyang County, Yanzhou.
