A big shot came to Black Mountain City.

Wei He, who was handling government affairs in the yamen, couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard the news.

The swordsman and penman writing next to him looked worried: "Sir?"

"So fast?!"

Wei He put down his pen and frowned:

"Have all the property been exchanged for food and distributed?"

"Distribution has been completed."

Hu Wan stepped into the lobby:

"There are more than 13,000 households in the inner and outer cities, and each household has a minimum of thirty pounds and a maximum of two hundred pounds, which is enough to support them until the beginning of next spring."

"That's good."

Wei He breathed a sigh of relief and then stood up to greet him.

As soon as they arrived outside the county government office, they saw Wang Wu walking over with a solemn expression: "Those people are suspected to be from the Qingzhou Army."

Qingzhou has been in chaos for many years.

The root cause is the dispute between the two.

This Qingzhou Army may not be here to suppress the rebellion...

"Qingzhou Army?"

Wei He's heart suddenly tightened.

Regardless of Qingzhou or the Ming Dynasty, the garrisons and government offices in various places are not subordinate to each other, so there should be no personnel from the army.

Passing by?

Or are you here for the Purple Gold Swallowing Evil Treasure Gourd?

He only informed Jin Yiwei about the news about the treasure gourd, and others should not know...

Da da da~

Wei He was wondering in his heart when he heard the uniform sound of horse hooves coming from a distance.

"It is indeed the Qingzhou Army."

Seeing the knights approaching on horseback, Wei He felt nervous and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"Jin Yiwei's hands are really long."

Seeing Wei He dressed in Feiyu uniform, several knights immediately sneered and said in a bad tone:

"Interfering in local government affairs, do you want to rebel?!"

"Back to your lord, the rebellion in Black Mountain City has not yet been resolved, and there is a vacancy in the yamen, so I have just been acting as an agent for government affairs."

Weihe is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Now, we take over!"

The knight shook his whip and said in a cold tone:

"As for you and the cripple behind you, you can get out!"

"you!"

Wang Wu's heart was filled with anger, and he was about to explode when Wei He stopped him.

Wei He was neither humble nor arrogant, but his tone was cold:

"Oh? Does General Wei want to establish a palace in Qingzhou and take charge of military and political affairs by himself?"

"What a courage!"

The expressions of several knights all changed. They did not expect that the Jin Yiwei's words were so sharp.

The knight at the head shook his hand and was about to whip his whip.

call!

Yuan Jingying raised his hand to stop the whip, then looked at Wei He and said in a calm tone:

"Qingzhou is corrupt and bandits are rampant. How can the general have time to interfere in government affairs? This brother is going too far."

"If you want this yamen, then please invite me!"

Wei He took a step back and let the main door open.

"Jinyiwei is really full of talents."

Yuan Jingying took a deep look at Wei River and was about to drive his horse into the Yamen.

Phew!

At this time, a long eagle cry came from the night sky.

"This sound?"

"How is that possible? Did I hear wrongly?"

"Go, go!"

The expressions of those knights changed one after another, and Yuan Jingying was also surprised.

He just glanced at the sky and whipped the horse on the butt with his backhand.

Xilulu~

The horse was in pain, let out a long neigh, and flew away.

The other knights also turned their horses' heads one after another and left one after another.

But it's still over.

In the night sky, the second eagle cry was already heard.

Phew!

The first eagle cry was still far away in the sky, but the second one seemed to be closer.

The law!

A strong wind seemed to be sweeping down from the sky, and the horses running wildly in the inner city seemed to be greatly frightened, neighing and almost throwing off the knights on their backs.

"Yufengxian!"

Yuan Jingying's complexion changed drastically, he exerted force on his legs, stabilized his horse and shouted loudly:

"Why are you making such a fuss, Commander?"

"Jilong Mountain has been entrenched in Changliu for many years, but I haven't seen you coming to encircle and suppress me. The Liansheng Cult has made trouble many times, but I haven't seen you encircle and suppress me! But you dare to provoke my Jin Yiwei?"

In the night sky, huge eagle wings flew across, but no one was seen, only a cold shout was heard:

"Go back and tell Wei Zhengxian! I am too lazy to take care of his fight with Nie Wendong. But if anyone provokes Jin Yiwei again, don't blame me for beheading him!"

Along with this loud shout, there is also a turbulent air current.

Just follow what he said.

It seemed like a hurricane was hitting us, and dozens of people and their horses were blown to the ground. After a few rolled over, they fled in panic.

Yuan Jingying's face turned pale.

Of course, with his skills, this 'Big Cloud Eagle' can't be blown down by spreading its wings, but he can't afford to offend this crazy woman.

Although he was furious in his heart, he could only hold his nose and drive away.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back at the night sky.

I saw a big red cloak floating on the back of the big cloud eagle with a wingspan of three feet, and underneath it was a petite figure in red armor and red boots.

In his palm, he clearly held a moon-covering knife that was about ten feet long.

"roll!"

A long shout shook the whole place.

Yuan Jingying's body trembled, and his eyes turned black due to the long shout.

He could bear it, but the red horse underneath him could not withstand such a fright, and fell to the ground with a long neigh.

"ah!"

Yuan Jingying fell off the horse with a 'plop' sound. He was so angry that he almost went crazy, but he could only run away in embarrassment.

…

Only when he really got out of the house did Yang Yu know what it means to have a vast land and sparsely populated areas.

Except for a few people in a few small villages, there were almost no people anywhere else, and there were not as many people as there were people who died beside the official road.

It wasn't until we walked for more than ten days that we saw a few refugees.

"Master, give me something to eat, give me something to eat..."

Several refugees with sallow complexions and sunken eyes gathered around tremblingly, pleading with each other.

"You escaped from Montenegro, right?"

Yang Yu sighed slightly in his heart, stopped the carriage, and ordered Zhao Qi to distribute the dry food.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

The refugees thanked him profusely and devoured their dry food before they had time to answer.

They indeed escaped from Heishan City. When they first escaped, there were thousands of them, but now, there are only about ten people in their group.

Those who had some means left with the previous caravan, but those who had no means and could not hold on, mostly died on the side of the road.

Yang Yu gave most of the food to these refugees and told them that Montenegro was safe and there was no disease, but these refugees were skeptical.

But they really couldn't walk anymore, so they had no choice but to trust Yang Yu and go back with the dry food.

"well."

Yang Yu sighed in his heart and realized Wei He's previous softening.

Without food, people really can't survive.

His disgust towards Liu Wenpeng also increased. No matter how ferocious a killer in this world, he may not kill even one-tenth of the number of casualties he suffered in Black Mountain City this time.

The harm caused by officials is probably worse than the harm caused by bandits.

If all the prefectures and counties in Qingzhou were like this, he doubted how many years the Ming Dynasty could last.

Are you afraid of taking jujube pills?

"Hungry, hungry~"

In the prison car, the three generations of people from Tiejianmen were all skin and bones from hunger.

Guan Shanshui stretched out his trembling hands, and finally couldn't hold back and begged for mercy:

"Master Yang, please help me stutter..."

Yan Jinglue closed his eyes in pain, but could not utter any angry words.

It had been more than ten days, and they hadn't eaten as much as other people in one day. If there hadn't been some snow to eat, they would have starved to death.

"Master Yang, we don't have much dry food..."

Zhao Qi was about to speak but stopped.

They didn't bring much dry food, and several villages on the road didn't receive supplies, and they didn't meet even a caravan on the road.

Even though I was frugal, I didn't have much left over.

Of course, this is because of the burdens of Iron Sword Gate, otherwise, their food would not be able to support the next county.

"Give me some, give me some..."

Shi Yongyan burst into tears and ran into the prison car with regret.

"I still have use for these people, but don't really starve to death."

Yang Yu glanced at Guan Shanshui coldly:

"When you were helping the tyrants do evil, did you ever think about how many people starved to death?"

Guan Shanshui took the cake blankly, feeling that all the gold, silver and jewelry in the world could not compare to its safety.

"Uncle Master..."

Shi Yongyan trembled and took a piece, and the two men immediately started fighting in the prison car.

Yan Jinglue looked ferocious, but his inner energy was dispersed. Not only was he unable to stop him, he was also punched twice.

It's not ugly.

"This is already beyond the borders of Montenegro. It is still 120 miles away from the next county. At my current speed, I should be able to reach it the day after tomorrow."

The convoy set off again, Yang Yu looked at the map and made silent calculations.

It was not because he was worried about these death row prisoners, but after eating dry food and iron broad beans for more than ten days, he really couldn't eat anymore.

In the twelfth month of winter, not even a mouse can be found. No matter how powerful he is, he can't find a piece of meat.

In his mouth, he really looked like a bird.

"The energy storage of the Cauldron of Gluttony should be about the same. However, there are still two missing ingredients for the Kuixing Ranking Map. Should I refine the 'Nine Ox and Two Tiger' again, or Liu Wenpeng's bow?"

Yang Prison hesitated.

In the past ten days, he has not delayed his martial arts progress.

He took Yiqi Pills and Blood-Building Pills every day, and practiced internal and external exercises without stopping for a moment. Of course, the one who made the greatest progress was the Cauldron of Gluttony.

I also used up my last two quotas and went to the Liuji Mountain battlefield twice to hone my martial arts.

Of course, I couldn't see Prince Zhao.

But the last time, he independently killed a black armored knight.

"I'd better learn the Four Elephant Arrows first. With my current martial arts skills, unless I'm lucky, I won't have a chance to fight Zhang Xuanba."

Having made the decision, Yang Yu decided to refine this 'fine iron bow'.

But I heard Zhao Qi’s surprised and incomprehensible voice coming from outside:

"Mr. Yang, there seems to be a tavern not far ahead!"

"Tavern?"

Yang Yu was startled and opened the car curtain.

I could see a two-story small courtyard beside the official road in the distance. There were fenced pigs and cows outside, and there seemed to be this horse.

A plain yellow wine flag fluttered in the cold wind.

"There is a tavern in this quiet place? Master Yang, this, this is not right..."

Jiang Du was a little uneasy.

This boundary is five hundred miles away from Heishan, and more than a hundred miles away from the next city. Which store would do business here?

Not afraid of starving to death?

"This tavern..."

Yang Yu's eyes flashed and he told the two of them to just go on their way.

This tavern is located on the official road. If you want to get out of the way, it will take several days to travel.

As for the prisoners, seeing that there was a place to shelter from the cold, their pace suddenly became faster. Only the three people in the prison car had drooped faces and looked lifeless.

Not long after, Yang Yu could smell the aroma of wine and meat.

I took a quick look and saw, my dear, there was a big pot standing in the yard of the house. The broth was boiling and the aroma was fragrant.

When the two big men dressed as shopkeepers saw Yang Yu and his party, they waved:

"Would you like some fresh fragrant meat, sir?"
