Chapter 922 Ye Jiulang

In the howling autumn wind, the withered and yellow leaves on the trees fluttered down one after another. The fields, roadsides, and mountains, no matter what kind of plants are basically withered.

Ye Jiuyun and Lin Xun were very anxious and couldn't help but went to look for Li Jun again. Li Jun asked: "Master Li, when will we be allowed to enter the city?" He has been looking for Li Jun ten times a day for the past few days. Fortunately, Li Jun has experienced the same experience and can understand his mood, and he is not impatient.

Li Jun shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either." In fact, he knew that Liu Tienan had no intention of letting Ye Jiuyun and other disaster victims enter the city.

Ye Jiuyun was also very anxious, and said, "Lord Li, it's already autumn, and there is nothing to dig and eat in the wild." The food sent from the city was not much, and everyone could only get together with wild vegetables. Seventy percent full. Now there are no wild vegetables to dig, and there is not much food left. In this case, everyone is naturally getting more and more panicked.

Lin Xun added next to him: "Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone's body can't bear it anymore." Entering Linzhou City is their only hope.

Li Jun still said: "I will relay your words to our general."

Ye Jiulan and Lin Xun went back to the wooden shed where they lived. Lin Xun said worriedly: "Jiulang, I think they won't let us enter the city like this."

Ye Jiuyun had expected it a long time ago, and said: "Although the plague on our side has been brought under control, it has not been resolved. Under such circumstances, how can General Liu allow us to enter the city?" Expected.

Lin Xun said: "But if you can't go to the city, how will you survive this winter?" Even if they are given food, they can't survive the ice and snow.

Ye Jiuyun said: "Don't count on entering the city, but I think they should send us some cotton-padded clothes and trousers."

Lin Xun smiled wryly and said: "I also believe that they will send us supplies for the winter. But after the winter, what about next year? What about next year? They can't always send us food and drink."

Ye Jiuyun was silent for a while and said, "Let's talk about it next year!" He had no better way.

Lin Xun said: "The imperial court doesn't care about our life or death. Only by entering Linzhou City can we survive." No matter what the price is, he will enter the city.

Ye Jiulang didn't know this truth. However, how can they enter Linzhou City if they want to.

In the middle of the night that day, Li Jun came to find Ye Jiuying and Lin Xun, and said, "Our general wants to see you."

A light flashed in Ye Jiuyun's eyes, and he nodded without asking what was the matter, "Okay."

The two went up the tower through the hanging basket. Looking at the soldiers on the tower, Ye Jiuyun and Lin Xun felt envious. Although these people are very ordinary soldiers, they are able to eat and clothe warmly, unlike them who are precarious.

After getting off the gate tower, the two got into the carriage and walked for more than a quarter of an hour before the carriage stopped. Then the two of them followed Li Jun into a house with a post at three steps and a sentry at ten steps. You don't need to ask to know that such a heavily guarded courtyard must be General Liu's residence.

The room was lit with kerosene lamps, and the lights stretched Liu Tienan's figure to a long distance. Ye Jiuyun entered the room with Lin Xun, and clasped his fists at Liu Tienan: "I've seen General Liu."

Liu Tienan nodded secretly when he saw that the two of them did not shrink back. Liu Tienan said: "I've been hearing Li Jun mentioning the names of the two heroes, and I've wanted to see you for a long time, but I've been delayed by something."

Ye Jiuyun looked at Liu Tienan's attitude, and felt a little relieved: "General Liu is overrated, we are some kind of heroes. Only the prince and the general can be worthy of the word hero."

Liu Tienan laughed loudly and said: "You can't say this, how can I compare with the prince.

"

Ye Jiuyun hurriedly said: "I'm clumsy, General Liu please forgive me for my inappropriateness." He still had extravagant thoughts, but he didn't want to mess up this meeting.

Liu Tienan waved his hand and said, "I'm also a big boss, so I can say whatever I want, don't be restrained."

As soon as the two sat down, one person came in with a basin of steamed buns, and the person behind him was holding a pot of hot water in his hand.

Looking at the steaming buns, Ye Jiulan and Lin Xun couldn't help swallowing. From the disaster to the present, they don't know what steamed buns taste like.

Liu Tienan said: "These are mutton buns made by the cook, and they taste very authentic." After speaking, he took a bun from inside and took a big bite.

Gu Li put the bun between the two of them, and then retreated to Liu Tienan's side.

Ye Jiulan and Lin Xun exchanged glances, then unceremoniously reached out and took the buns to eat. The buns were the size of an adult's fist, and the two of them ate eight before they were full.

Ye Jiuyun drank another glass of water after eating, and said to Liu Tienan, "General Liu, can we take the remaining buns?"

Although life is easier now, Liu Tienan has never forgotten the difficult years in Yucheng. Liu Tienan smiled and said, "Do you want to take it home for your wife and children to eat?"

Ye Jiuyun was not embarrassed at all: "I want my parents and children to taste it. They haven't touched meat for more than half a year."

Liu Tienan nodded and said, "You can take them away later!"

Because Lin Xun was worried about his wife and children at home, he asked, "General Liu, I don't know when we will be allowed to enter the city."

Liu Tienan glanced at Lin Xun, who was a little impatient. But thinking about the situation outside, it's understandable. Liu Tienan said: "Don't speak dark words in front of Ming people. Our princess is kind enough to let me help you, but I am determined not to let you enter the city. I believe you all know the reason."

Lin Xun said hurriedly: "General Liu, only a small number of people are infected with the plague, and the rest are normal, even if they enter the city, there will be no hindrance."

Liu Tienan's eyes were sharp: "I am responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Linzhou City."

Lin Xun became a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "General Liu, it's going to be winter soon. If they can't enter the city, they will freeze to death. General Liu, you can't just ignore death." They had lost all hope of surviving. Put it on Princess Ming and Liu Tienan.

Gu Li snorted coldly and said: "You should tell the court and Yan Wushuang about this. If you are in disaster, it is the responsibility and obligation of the court and Yan Wushuang to rescue you. If the princess is not kind, no one can do it if we don't help you." Blame half a word." These people are really pushing their limits.

Seeing that Lin Xun wanted to say something more, Ye Jiuyun stopped Lin Xun for fear of being self-defeating.

With red eyes, Lin Xun said, "Jiulang, if we can't go to the city, not only my wife and two children may not survive, but also my uncle, aunt and nephew." . He tried his best to keep his parents, wife and children alive until now, but after such a long time, their bodies are already very weak, and it is difficult for them to survive this winter. Moreover, even if they survived this winter, what about next year? Where will they go next year.

Ye Jiuying looked sad.

Lin Xun looked at Liu Tienan, pleading: "General Liu, can't you accommodate and let the elderly and children enter the city?"

Liu Tienan shook his head and said, "Last month you only had more than 3,000 people, but how many people are there now outside the city? Once the elderly and children are allowed to enter the city, there will be more disaster victims. We are running out of food, and we cannot rescue them." There are so many people." After the news that they sent food to Ye Jiuyun spread, many more victims flocked over. The plague is terrible, but it is better than starving to death.

Ye Jiuyun's heart trembled, which meant that there might be no more food supply: "General Liu, if there is no food, the nearly 10,000 disaster victims outside the city will only have a dead end."

Liu Tienan smiled wryly and said, "It's not that I don't help, it's that we can't do anything. You should have heard that several of our places were also hit by disasters this year. The food for you is all taken out of our mouths."

Lin Xun heard this and knelt on the ground: "General Liu, please give us a way out."

Liu Yongnan didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Ye Jiuyun could only ask: "General Liu, I don't know why you called me and A Xun this time?" It's okay, Liu Tienan will definitely not summon them.

Originally, Ye Jiuyun wanted Liu Tienan to bring it up first, and then negotiate the price, but he didn't expect that Lin Xun was too impatient and ruined his plan.

Liu Tienan glanced at Ye Jiuyun appreciatively, and said, "There is one thing for you to do. If you promise me, you can let your family members go to the city. I can even guarantee that they will have no worries about food and clothing."

Lin Xun hurriedly said: "As long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water." For the sake of his parents, wife and children, he can take his life.

Liu Tienan said his request.

Ye Jiuyun was stunned, he never imagined that Liu Tienan would ask him to go back to Jinzhou to rebel. Since ancient times, nine out of ten rebels will die. It took a long time for Ye Jiuyun to come back to his senses, and asked, "Is this what the concubine meant?" Liu Tienan was only a general, so it was impossible for him to think of such a slanderous method.

Liu Tienan said: "It doesn't matter who means it, the important thing is whether you are willing or not?" Liu Yongnan thinks this method is very good, and it can consume the court's troops without sending troops.

Lin Xun didn't wait for Ye Jiuyun to reply, and said eagerly: "Yes, we are willing. I would have killed those dog officials a long time ago." If these officials hadn't acted, how could they have fallen into this field.

Seeing that Liu Tienan didn't answer his words, Lin Xun just looked at Ye Jiuyun. He immediately grabbed Ye Jiuyun's arm and asked, "Jiulang, why are you still hesitating? Agree!" If you agree, you can earn a living for the family, but if you refuse, you will only die.

Ye Jiuyun ignored Lin Xun, but asked Liu Tienan: "You can accommodate our family, what about the others?"

Liu Tienan didn't lie to Ye Jiuyun, and said, "We will rescue them and provide them with supplies for the winter. We can't do anything else."

Gu Li added a sentence: "In order to help them, we also tightened our belts. For this, the princess has received complaints from many people."

Ye Jiulang remained silent.

Liu Tienan said: "If you don't want to, we won't force you." A twisted melon is not sweet, if it is not willing, no matter how capable Ye Jiulang is, he can't use it.

It's not that Ye Jiuyun is unwilling, but he has concerns: "If we die, what will my parents do?"

Liu Tienan said: "Don't worry about this, even if you have an accident, we will take care of them." After a pause, Liu Tienan said: "The children left by the soldiers who died in battle, they all get good care. Now, Many of them have grown up and become talents." These things are not secret, and anyone with a little knowledge has heard of them.

Ye Jiuyun nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

The worst thing is to die in Jinju, but the parents and children can live. If they are lucky enough to survive, they will be able to give their family a better life after making contributions.

"You can choose some helpers when you go back, but not more than twenty people." If there are too many people, it will be a bit conspicuous, as long as twenty people are enough.

Ye Jiuyun asked: "Then their family members should also be able to enter the city?"

Liu Tienan nodded, and only when these people's homes are settled well can they go to work with peace of mind. Liu Tienan instructed: "Before you leave, you have to settle the outside affairs, and we will discuss the specific matters in detail next time."

Now that the decision was made, Ye Jiuyun stopped being coy and said, "Okay." In this world, there is no way out if you don't fight.

Gu Li said: "This Ye Jiulang is calm. In comparison, that Lin Xun is worse."

Liu Tienan felt that what he was talking about was nonsense. If Lin Xun was stronger than Ye Jiuying, could Ye Jiuying still be in charge?

Yun Qing learned about Ye Jiuyun's life and temperament, and said to Yu Xi: "This person is usable, but I don't know if he can fight?"

Yuxi said: "He was just an ordinary soldier before, he probably doesn't know how to fight?"

Yun Qing knocked on the table and said: "If this person knows how to fight, I don't need to send any more people there." Seeing Yu Xi's doubts, Yun Qing said: "I don't want to give someone a handle." Ye Jiulang Originally from Jinzhou, his rebellion can be well covered up. If they send someone, they will show their traces.

Yu Xi didn't care what outsiders thought, and said: "He Rui, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit." If they lose, the winner will definitely arrange them to be heinous. Had they won, such a thing would not have been recorded in history.

After saying this, Yu Xi shook her head lightly and said, "Actually, even Ye Jiuying and the others, Yan Wushuang can quickly find out that they were sent by us." Yan Wushuang was well informed, and he couldn't hide these things from him.

Yun Qing was silent for a while and said: "I will carefully consider the candidate."

Yuxi nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, you can choose slowly." After a while, those ordinary people who have nothing to eat and can't survive will definitely rebel.

Meilan came over with a plate of yellow and orange persimmons, and said, "My lord, my concubine, this is just delivered by the people below. I just tasted one, and it tastes very good." The fruit delivered to Yuxi, that They are all carefully selected.

Yuxi glanced at Yunqing, said with a smile: "I haven't eaten persimmon cakes for a long time, let Master Fang make some persimmon cakes." Master Fang is the pastry chef Yunqing found for Yuxi. Since Master Fang came, Yuxi ate cakes more often than before.

Yunqing peeled one and ate it, nodded after eating, and said: "Well, it's really good." Sweet and delicious, it's exactly Yunqing's favorite taste.

Yuxi hasn't finished eating one, Yunqing has already eaten four, and was about to take the fifth one when Yuxi stopped him: "This food is not easy to digest, you can't eat it anymore." Yunqing met something he liked Things don't know how to control things, and it's useless to say it many times, which makes Yuxi very helpless.

Yunqing had no choice but to put down the persimmon in his hand. (to be continued)
