Volume 5 Chapter 413 The World Collapses

Please vote for recommendation!

———

Ma Qiang did not dare to let Liu Xiu go to Heishan. Zhang Ming and others were hiding in Heishan to recruit remnants. Although they were defeated by Yuan Shao, Huangfu Song and others, their massacre also aroused the fighting spirit of the Yellow Turban Army, especially the counterattack of the powerful Jizhou, which caused the newly settled refugees to lose their land again. After several months of hard work, they hated Yuan Shao and others to regain their land. They used various methods to rush to Heishan, which replaced Julu and became the new base of the Yellow Turban Army.

Whether the Yellow Turban can rise again depends on whether he can protect Heishan. There are nearly one million refugees in Heishan now. If Yuan Shao had not had such strength for the time being, he would have been running to Heishan. At this moment, Ma Qiang could not believe Liu Xiu.

"Please wait a few days ago. I will ask Junior Brother Yuansheng to send someone to see you."

"No, I'm short of time and can't wait here. Since they are in Heishan, let them go to Handan to find me."

"Handan?"

"Didn't you find Yingzi in Handan? Since you have to start from scratch, of course you have to start from Handan."

Ma Qiang hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to laugh. What could be found in Handan? Even if there were any clues, after so many days, the place was beyond recognition. However, he nodded: "Okay, then I will notify Junior Brother Yuansheng to come to Handan to find you. Be careful, Handan is now controlled by Yuan Shao. If he finds that you have placed an order, he will not be polite to you."

"You don't have to worry about this. As long as you don't say it, no one knows that I've gone to Handan." Liu Xiu curled his lips disapprovingly.

Ma Qiang bowed and bowed: "General was joking, how could I say it? I just reminded the general to be careful."

Liu Xiu smiled and stood up and left. Ma Qiang sent Liu Xiu away, returned to the house, lowered his face, called Tang Zhou to the front, and said sternly: "I know you hate Liu Xiu, but you must be clear. I hate Liu Xiu more than you. I don't know why the emperor sent him to investigate this matter, but since the emperor wants him to investigate, we cannot do anything randomly. You must know that we need the emperor and his help now than ever before. The emperor may not care, but if Liu Xiu is popular, Bingzhou~~-update the first launch~~ The army will come from the west. Black Mountain will be completely over."

Tang Zhou was trembling and bowed to apologize.

...

In Handan City, Luo Yao pointed to the alley and felt a little ashamed: "General, I discovered Miss Yingzi there."

Liu Xiu looked around. This was a civilian residential area near the gate of the city. It was one of the countless residential areas in Handan. It was not obvious that it had any characteristics. Handan was once the capital of Zhao during the Warring States Period. It was very large in scale and was also a famous commercial city in Hebei. Taishigong listed Handan as one of the cities in "Records of the Grand Historian? Biography of Merchants". Although it was disturbed by the war, the calm here quickly returned to peace. Under Yuan Shao's deliberate rectification, there was no sign of refugees here.

Liu Xiu walked into the alley and laughed: "Wouldn't you be in a disadvantageous place when you compete with Zhang Ming in this place?"

Luo Yao smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, I didn't expect so much at that time. I got excited and got into trouble with Zhang Ming. Later, when I think back, I was indeed a little negligent at that time."

"In this way, Yingzi should have followed the refugees into the city. This place is very close to the gate of the city and is also where ordinary people live. If the refugees want to enter the city, they will come here first. The rich people have a guardhouse at home, so they probably won't let these refugees wander around."

Luo Yao nodded and said, "That's true. There are many large households in Handan, and they are very fierce."

"There are many martyrs in Yanzhao, this is normal. If you go north, there will be even more powerful people."

They were talking, and two young men walked quickly from a distance. The two tiger soldiers who were accompanying him were about to come forward to intercept him. Liu Xiu saw at a glance that one of them was Lan Lan, dressed in a man, and quickly waved his hand and signaled the tiger soldiers to retreat.

"The general is coming so fast." Lan Lan ran out of breath and her cheeks were red.

Liu Xiu greeted her and looked at the young man next to him who was also dressed as a man: "What is this?"

"She is my senior sister, Feng Yan, and a native of Zhending, Changshan."

"Qi Yan has seen the general." Qi Yan bowed his hand and looked at Liu Xiu with some curiosity, just in time to meet Liu Xiu's unscrupulous gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little angry. Liu Xiu laughed: "It's really a talent. Zhao Yun, the general of the Northern Central Army, is your hometown party. Have you heard of it?"

"I have certainly heard of the Zhao family as the one who truly decides the eldest surname." Ju Yan said lukewarmly.

When Liu Xiu heard that she had no good feelings for the powerful, he didn't say anything more. He turned his face to Lan Lan and said, "Miss Lan, I heard that you and Miss Yang discovered Yingzi that day. Tell me about the situation at that time."

Lan Lan nodded and drove her here with Yang Feng that day. How to find among the refugees? How to accidentally find Tang Yingzi grabbed Luo Yao and asked him to compensate him for his steamed cakes. Finally, she smiled and said, "If Uncle Luo had not stepped on the steamed cakes of the Saint Aunt, it would be difficult for us to notice her. At that time, there were many refugees here. The Saint Aunt changed her appearance again, black and thin, like a beggar. Even if we stood opposite, we might not recognize her."

"Is that?" Liu Xiu felt a little uncomfortable. Yingzi was as fat as a pig when he was by his side. If he wanted to lose weight, he would have to suffer a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have grabbed Luo Yao for a steamed cake. "Oh, this girl is really hungry."

"No, we asked her to go back with us. Her only request was to buy her two steamed flax cakes." Lan Lan sighed when she remembered the situation at that time: "We were worried that she would not refuse, but we didn't expect it would be so easy. I thought I was really hungry and couldn't wait for a moment. We had to buy it before we could go with us."

Liu Xiu suddenly felt aroused in his heart: "Is it just two steamed cakes?"

"It's just two steamed cakes." Lan Lan suddenly remembered something, "However, she designated the Hu restaurant to ask for the Hu family, saying that the steamed cakes were the most fragrant and crispy. She also specially wanted to put more shisha. For this matter, we waited there for nearly half an hour."

"Let's go to the Hu family restaurant." Liu Xiu smiled at the corner of his mouth. He knew that Tang Yingzi actually didn't like Hu Ma, and it was even more impossible for him to delay so long for more Hu Ma when he was so hungry that he was dizzy. There must be some reason for her doing this.

Lan Lan didn't understand why, but when she was hesitating, Liu Xiu had already taken a few steps. Zhu Yan pulled her and whispered: "Follow up first, he seems to have discovered something." Lan Lan quickly followed up when she heard it.

The Hu family restaurant is located in the east city of Handan. It has not had a big storefront, but the business is good. After breakfast, there are still people eating cakes. A middle-aged man with big beard is busy waving his hands like rain. When he saw that Liu Xiu and his party were dressed in ordinary clothes, he quickly wiped his hands on the apron and bowed his waist and greeted: "Are you guys buying cakes? I'm so sorry, there are only two left."

Liu Xiu walked over with his hands behind his back, glanced at the store, and waved his hand: "Everyone, I'll pay for your cake for you, but please go out to eat. I have a few words to say to the shopkeeper."

The guests who were blowing cakes looked at each other, picked up the soup on the table and drank it all, took the cakes and walked out one by one. When the man saw it, he became even more nervous and looked at Liu Xiu tremblingly: "Master... Master, what are your instructions?"

"Don't be nervous." Liu Xiu winked, and a tiger soldier took out a handful of money from his arms and threw it on the table. The man glanced at it and said quickly: "There are too many, too many, one ounce of cake, even if there are too many customers."

"I'll buy you a message for the extra money." Liu Xiu sat down, pushed the soup bowl on the table, picked up a five-zhu coin, and rolled between his fingers: "I want to ask the shopkeeper to recall it. It was about a year ago, when there was the most refugees, and there was a child who always put more shimi when he bought steamed cakes here."

"You need more stitch?" The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, rolled his eyes and thought for a long time, and shook his head blankly: "I don't remember that I don't remember having such a child."

"No?" Liu Xiu was stunned and asked unwillingly: "Think about it again, think about it carefully."

The shopkeeper blinked his eyes and thought for a long time, but still shook his head: "I really don't remember it. Besides, even if there is one, I can't remember it."

Liu Xiu was very disappointed and his face looked a little bad. The shopkeeper saw it and became even more nervous, and even his legs began to tremble. Just here, a child leaned in through the side door and looked at Liu Xiu timidly: "But... a sister who smiled loudly?"

Liu Xiu saw a blink of an eye and saw a little girl about ten years old, hiding behind a young woman, probably the shopkeeper's daughter. He quickly slowed down his expression and smiled and said, "Little girl, do you know?"

The little girl nodded: "I remember that sister gave me a very sweet fruit. Every time she came to buy cakes, she would put a lot of shisha. My old man said that we would lose money in this way and refused to sell it to her. She would buy two cakes every time with the money of three cakes."

"Oh, I remembered it." The middle-aged shopkeeper suddenly slapped his thigh: "Yes, there is a little girl wearing a white dress, but the white dress is so dirty that it can't be seen. Every time she buys cakes, she wants a lot of shisha. At that time, I saw that although she was very dirty, the fabric was good, and I thought she had escaped from a wealthy family." He paused and tapped his head with his fingers: "She is not alone, she is with her, she is a dirty woman. I don't know who she is, but she only knows that she calls that woman Ama. The woman likes to eat shisha cakes. Later... Later, the child disappeared, and the woman came to me to find her..."

The shopkeeper suddenly pointed at Lan Lan and woke up from his dream: "It was you... who took that child away?"

"Ama?" Lan Lan and others looked at each other. They didn't know what this meant, but Liu Xiu understood it all at once. Although the child's accent was a bit strange, he understood it and was suddenly shocked. Yingzi was a little different from normal people. For example, ordinary people called brothers the eldest brother, but Yingzi called him the eldest brother like Xianbei people. Ordinary people called mothers the mother, but Yingzi kept calling her mother. But wasn't her mother dead? Why was she suddenly with her?

However, if it was her mother, everything would be easy to explain!!!
