Chapter 112: The danger of Xiapi
In the east of the city, figures overlapped. After the notice was posted, many hungry and cold people came to hear the news and rushed to the camp where the rushing brigade was.??? w?w?

Finally there was food. Before we arrived at the camp, we could see a large white smoke blowing from the cold wind. We could smell the fragrance in front of our noses, which immediately made the hungry people swallow their saliva suddenly. The steps under our feet were inevitably a little faster, for fear that they would not be able to eat the hot food they had been thinking about day and night.
Suddenly, the panicked and noisy steps stopped. At the entrance of the camp, two rows of soldiers stood up holding long swords, expressionless, sharp and fierce intent, far from comparable to the soldiers of Yangqu City, and were even more on the rushing brigade, making people shudder. How dare you take a step forward?
Soon, Xiong Gang's confidant walked out of the camp and said loudly to the people, "There are porridge buns in the camp. If you want to eat them, you need to make the team up. The yellow slut is the first, the woman is the second, and the man is the second."
After saying this, seeing the many people Wang Ruomu chicken standing like a daze, he couldn't help but stomp his feet, and his voice increased a little more. "Do you still want to fill your stomach? If you want to have hot soup, you shouldn't do it as you said before!"
The people who were stunned by the roar came to their senses and wanted to rush into the camp for a meal, but were trembling with the soldiers who were so magnificently dressed in armor and were so terrifying that they had to honestly line up the team.
When a team was about fifty or sixty people stood, a soldier led them into the camp. The others saw it and were immediately anxious, thinking about getting into the team. But seeing a few scoundrels kicked to the ground by the soldiers, they immediately lost the courage and could only line up quickly.
In the camp, several temporary stoves were set up on the school ground, which could have accommodated thousands of people to practice, and a few large pots were placed. In the smoke and fire, white porridge was rolling in the pot, and rice was as full as white jade. On one side of the iron stove, there was also a stove, but there were wooden boards with wet water on it, and the wooden boards were fragrant white steamed buns.
Seeing these, the people who had received the porridge and the warm steamed buns naturally thanked them repeatedly. Then they walked aside and took a few sips, enjoying the feeling of the fragrant porridge rolling in their stomachs. Later, perhaps remembering the hard-earned food, they immediately bit the steamed buns carefully. Those who had not yet lined up were choking and looking at the very busy beautiful girls in front of them, hoping that they could be faster and so that they could fill their stomachs sooner.
"So many people have come. If this continues, how long will it be?"
Looking at the crowded schoolyard, Xiao Wu muttered.
Frowning, Liu Xi said in a deep voice. He confiscated Chen Mogu and others' homes last night, but most of the grain in the granary had been sold to other prefectures by them. There were so many people coming today, and it was already past his expectations. If this continues, the grain in the city will last for a long time.
I don’t know when the food for disaster relief will be shipped.
For some reason, Liu Xi felt that his shoulders were heavier again. He looked at the people who were constantly coming and Qu Lang said to the side, "Get clean up later, and I will go to Xia Pi and Yecheng."
Now we can only hope that the situation of these two cities is a little better than that of Yangqu City, so that we can get some food from them first so that we can survive the food for the court to provide disaster relief.
After two hours, there was no figure in the camp who continued to come to ask for food. Wu Shuang'er sighed and reached out to wipe the sweat beads from her forehead. Only then did she realize that at some point, her arms were already stiff and unconscious.
Rubbing his arms gently, and then returning, Wu Shuanger looked at Qin Yiran and Tian Xun'er. They were also wet with sweat and wet their hair. There was a hint of fatigue between their eyebrows. They couldn't help but say, "Sister Qin, Sister Xun'er, you can rest first, let's leave it to Shuang'er to clean up here."
Qin Yiran hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Miss Shuang'er, you are very tired. Let me do such chores. The girl and Xun'er will go back to the house for a rest."
"Don't fight, you all go back to the house and lie down, and leave these rough work to me."
Several women were pushing and giving in. Liu Xi rolled up her sleeves and walked forward, taking the first step to take an iron pot to the well behind the camp, washing it very quickly.
It took a while before the stove was cleaned up. Looking at the tired and panting women, Liu Xi immediately thought of finding some honest and honest women from the refugees, otherwise he would have to get tired and sick after a few days.
There are many refugees at this moment, because this is not a difficult task. Qin Yiran quickly picked up dozens of women, who took his life.
These are all women in the countryside of Yangqu City. They are honest and honest. They have no food at home and are forced to go into the city to escape famine. The imperial envoy killed corrupt officials and donated porridge for the people, which are all extraordinary things. They are very familiar with the work of cooking porridge and steaming buns. Now they hear that the imperial envoy is going to pick some people to do these things, so they are still eager to step forward?
In order to save some food, Liu Xi had to set the porridge twice a day. After Si Shi and Wei Shi, he explained something to Xiong again, and Liu Xi took Qu Lang to Xia Pi City in a hurry.
This time he came north, he led the emperor to act, and wanted to appease the people of the three cities. However, the Yangqu City and one city at present made Liu Xi feel very difficult. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pray in his heart that the situation in Xia Pi and Ye City could not be so bad, otherwise even if he was exhausted, he would not be able to avoid the tragic ending of the people starving to death in the bitter cold.
After running all night, before dawn broke out, I finally arrived at Xia Pi City. During the rush, Qu Lang suddenly pulled the reins and pointed ahead and told Liu Xi.
"Young master is not good. Some robbers are in trouble and are actually besieging Xia Pi City."
Looking up, the scene in front of him was very similar to what he saw outside Yangqu City. The thick cold air and cold fog had not dissipated, half covering the old and mottled city walls of Xia Pi. There were densely packed with more than a thousand people standing. Among them were wrapped in animal fur and fur clothes, and some were wrapped in tattered clothes. They were holding swords, spears, or holding wooden bows and arrows, surrounded by the city, facing the soldiers on the top of the city.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xixin suddenly sank. If it were bandits, it would not be too bad. If the people were forced to rebel, it would be really a big trouble.
The bandits can kill without hesitation, but the people who rebel for their livelihood cannot easily kill. Otherwise, if they lose the people's hearts, they will lose everything.
When Liu Xi was worried, he heard a loud drum sound in his ears. At the top of the city, a scholar in a blue cotton robe beat the big drum. Amid the drum sound, the closed city gate slowly opened, hundreds of soldiers rushed out, holding an eight-foot swallow's mouth and a long sword, standing in front of the besieged people, "You are going to cause trouble!"
He roared like a thunderous roar, and the man who led the troops stabbed the long sword in his hand to the ground. The tiger's eyes opened angrily, as if the sky had descended to earth.
