Chapter 1074

The next morning, Haien returned from breakfast with Zhili in ningyue.

"Everything's settled. We'll just set out. But on the way back, be careful. After all, today, we are about to step into another territory. Of course, that is the territory of xuanke, and it will be unified. "

Nodding, Ning Yue pushed half a plate of egg cake on the table to Haien, and then casually asked: "although it's still in xuanke, as the border line between the two armies, it's impossible to pass directly?"

"Of course, it's impossible to take the main road. But the good thing is that there are so many paths, otherwise you think those refugees are coming from somewhere. But as far as I know, those paths are also fortified from time to time. The refugees on the surface may also be spies hidden in the dark, but it is certainly impossible for us to disguise as refugees. "

"Disguised as a refugee? Even if we take the path just in case, it should be easy to cheat the garrison sergeants with our skills. Can we still use disguise? What's really hard is to get into the city, right? In addition, the second imperial daughter started last night. We have been slow. We must be ready before she starts next time. "

Grabbing a piece of cake from the plate and stuffing it into the entrance, Hain chewed it and said, "although I don't know about the crook clan, as a thorough level, she should not be able to launch attacks of that scale in a short time, right? Although I'm still at the level of respecting the realm, I've never seen the skills of those who are strong in the realm of heaven. Judging only by the traces of the wreckage there, the second elder sister's blow has the power of penetrating the sky. "

"I think so, too. Even if the devils are born to control the power of space distortion, they still rely on their own strength to launch. Within a day, it should be impossible to use it for a second time. Unless, forced to life and death, regardless of the cost. But in my opinion, since she has decided to destroy as many strongholds as possible, she must have a plan in her heart. She is not so rash as to break into danger before she recovers. And hopefully, last night's reminder will work. "

After breakfast in a hurry, three people start again, is still Zhili fantasy for kitten into ningyue's arms, she also very barbarian such treatment.

When passing through the exit of the town, I saw that the refugees who came to get porridge had formed a long line, and those who were still in line heard the praise of those who had already drunk hot porridge, rubbing their hands and looking forward to it.

At a casual glance, Ning Yue found that the white sticky hot porridge that the refugees received today was cooked with good rice. It was absolutely not mixed with old rice and rotten rice to make up for the number. At the front of the queue where the hot porridge was distributed, a bowl of porridge was placed on the table in front of several buckets, which nobody had taken, and a pair of chopsticks were firmly inserted on it.

Noticing Ning Yue's eyes, Hain explained: "it's the rule of allocating food for disaster relief. I'm afraid that officials will have their own pockets filled and secretly embezzle. The first bowl of porridge must be put out like this to tell the public that the porridge is thick enough. The chopsticks floated and the officials in charge decapitated directly. Therefore, there are follow-up measures to cut half and replace it with cheap old rice. But at least, that's not going to kill the refugees. "

Nodded, Ning Yue said again: "but I heard that there are all those who use Chen Mi instead. Shouldn't that kind of corrupt officials be killed?"

"Of course, but there is one exception. The market price of a kilo of good rice is about three kilos of old rice. However, the amount of relief food that can be allocated each time is limited. If it's just to keep the victims from starving, some officials privately exchange a kilo of good rice for two and a half kilos of Chen rice, and then deduct the last half of the price difference. What do you think they should do? Compared with neighboring counties, he used the same relief food in exchange for more lives of refugees. "

"Talent, that's what it is. If the Treasury is tight and there are too many refugees, such officials can't be killed. "

"Well, I was in charge of the investigation at that time, and I let him go. Later, when I secretly investigated, I found that the difference between half a kilo and Chen MI did not reach the official himself. Yes, one kilo of good rice is worth three kilos of old rice, but that's the price put out for trading. For a time, how many Chen rice can be bought. Even if they do, transportation costs. As soon as we go, few of the officials can still stay in their hands. As for the hard cost of turnover, it is barely enough. So in the end, instead of investigating him, I recommended him. In this way, his mind is flexible but not inflexible. He knows how to turn around rather than recognize the truth of death. He doesn't treat his own talents badly. He should be given a bigger stage to play

Ningyue is also secretly strange in his heart. The good and evil in the world can't be easily judged by surface and common sense. Officials who can come up with such means are really worth cultivating. However, there is one more concern.

"But if he sits in a position of high weight, can he continue to be satisfied, which is just a secret deduction of hard work?"

"For the time being, at least, he hasn't done anything out of line. Among the officials at the same level, the towns under his rule were the most prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. At the same time, compared with those incorruptible officials, he is also the richest in his family. Seriously, I think that guy is more suitable for business than an official. It's just as if I had been angry with my family and didn't want to take over the property of my parents. That's why I became an official. That guy is not fond of gambling and lust. Most of his money is spent on food. Every time he goes to his mansion, he can taste a lot of delicious food. Well, if it goes well, maybe we can go tomorrow. "

"Tomorrow? You mean, he's right next to our destination? "

"Yes. Forget to say that his jurisdiction is not on my sister's side, not for the time being. According to him, my sister's anti-corruption supervision is too strict. He can't accept it. He may be killed by mistake. So, speak slowly. But one day, he won't be able to escape. I'll pull him over anyway. "

At the same time, Hain and ningyue have left the town, galloping on the broad road. On the way, from time to time, we can see the refugees rushing towards the small town, with a look of expectation in their eyes.

In this regard, Ning Yue sighed: "it seems that the treatment over there is not good. Only those who come here can't see the past."

"There's no way. I'm afraid the relief food over there will be greedy. My eldest brother is aggressive, and he attaches great importance to military affairs while neglects national politics. He is a good leader in war. But now what xuanke Empire needs is recuperation. In the past, not only xuanke, the first criterion for the nine demons to choose their successors was military talent. So when my royal sister was appointed, my elder brother was very unconvinced. "

"But without Zehan's original unification, there would not have been such a change in standards, would it?"

"I have witnessed the prince and daughter of xuanke Mie Kingdom under Zehan's iron horse. At the beginning, only the elder brother was sensible. I'm afraid it's more yearning than hatred. He hopes that one day he will be able to accomplish the great cause of unification, but he puts the cart before the horse and militarizes... Ah, I think he must be the one who will lose in the end, but my naturally soft hearted sister should not be a killer. Maybe at that time, as the best punishment, let elder brother have a good look at the revival road that xuanke really needs. "

When they were far away from the town, they stopped talking and got off the horse for a pat to let the two horses go back the same way. Next, you need to sneak in and continue riding. The target is too big and easy to expose.

To Ning Yue's surprise, Hain was very familiar with the terrain. He was familiar with the narrow mountain roads that had been opened up. Only, occasionally on the road to meet a few refugees, with a strange look at them.

Dressing, bearing, and the direction they are going, they are obviously not refugees.

Doubts come from doubts. The refugees didn't ask for nothing and left in a hurry without saying a word. They seemed to be worried that ningyue and ningyue were actually spies. Once they got involved, they were afraid that their escape would end.

After going on for a while, ningyue's pace stopped suddenly, and the tip of his nose stirred a few times.

In the wind, there is a smell of blood.

"It looks like it's coming."

When they met the refugees again, they were in groups, with panic on their faces and blood stains on their ragged clothes. And in the distance behind them, there were still a few shouts.

"What's the matter?"

Ning Yue stopped one of them in a hurry, but he saw that the other side was in a panic and fell to the ground. He subconsciously reached out to help him, and saw that he was crawling and retreating away in a hurry, shaking his head.

"No, don't kill me - I'm not!"

"Well?"

In doubt, he was dragged by Hain and made way for the refugees to pass.

Looking at the flustered refugees, Hain gritted his teeth.

"There's only one possibility. The black hearted Sergeant killed Liang. They have no courage to fight with the real enemy and want to fish in troubled waters to earn some money. Of course, these refugees who have little resistance are the best targets. Moreover, since the unification of the Zehan Empire, the rules have changed. For convenience, there is no need to carry the decapitated head, only the right ear. In this way, it is more difficult to distinguish between the refugees and the enemy who were killed. "

"Heartless!"

With a fierce stomp, I would rather look at the approaching figures in the distance, with a cruel radian on the corner of my mouth.

"These guys, they should be killed!"

Who knows, Hain pressed his shoulder, gently shook his head and said, "it's time to kill, but not now. Don't forget our mission. If there are casualties here, they must be reported to the high level of the garrison. By then, the city's alert will be further strengthened. At that time, our actions will be somewhat hindered. It's not too late to calculate this account later. "

In the eyes flashed a fierce color, but in the end, Ning Yue nodded.

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.

It's easy for them to cheat a small group of ordinary sergeants. Even before touching a camp outside the city, he didn't show any whereabouts.

I saw that the barracks was strong and powerful, and there was a strong sense of lethality during the drill. On top of the gate village, there are several heads hanging, and the blood stains have been dried.

Originally, in ningyue's mind, it should be a group of lazy people who made a lot of contributions to kill Liang. I didn't expect that they should be in such a division. However, if you think about it again, it's true that if you don't have enough cruel heart, you can't commit such a crime.

In the gully in the distance of the military stronghold, you can still see several crawling figures. At first glance, they are refugees. This distance, there is a great possibility of being found, but they are still crawling slowly. Perhaps, compared with the risk of being found to be killed on the spot, it is more invisible to continue to stay.

Even though he had the urge to help, ningyue still suppressed it by force - with the help of the refraction cloak, the final side gate was no problem, and he made a successful breakthrough. After entering the city, he changed his dress in a remote corner. He looked at the street filled with the air of killing, and sighed again. Compared with the important cities on the edge of the front under the rule of mengye, this place is undoubtedly much more depressed. Most of the shops are still open, but we can't see how many visitors there are. The onlookers are listless and bored. In a hurry, because Hain didn't have a refraction cloak as a cover, they were scattered when they entered the door. The meeting place has been arranged for a long time. According to Hain's introduction, it is a building that can not be ignored in this Yiyong city. Just before arriving, Ning Yue suddenly stopped. As Yu Guang saw, people poured into one place, making a lot of noise. Beyond these people, we can see the line of soldiers with armour“ It's like... Something big? "
