I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Qidao: "You just follow."

He didn't say much.

Du Qi is aware of Mo Ledo's temperament, which is just talking about it.He led the people to walk forward. Although it is snowing heavily now, Du Qi is not impatient.

It's nothing these days.

The group walked for about half an hour and entered Shangyuan Village.The houses of the people in the village are next to each other, and all the people live together.

Guo Xiaozheng followed Du Qi, and introduced as he walked: "Your Highness, the people of Shangyuan Village, there are fifty households, about 180 people, it is considered a relatively large village. Now it is the end of the new year, and there is nothing to do. , most of the people are there."

Du Qidao: "A Shangyuan village has more than fifty households, which is not bad."

Guo Xiaozheng said: "There are so many people gathered in the village, it is inseparable from the credit of His Highness. If it weren't for His Highness to clean up the officialdom and wipe out bandits, the people of the village would have fled long ago."

When Du Qi and Guo Xiaozheng were chatting, they had already entered the village and met many children and people in the village. When the accompanying people asked about Yue Laojiu's residence, they learned that Yue Laojiu lived in the village The innermost one is the most remote thatched house, which is the simplest.

A group of more than thirty people.

With the appearance of a group of people, the news spread quickly, attracting the attention of the people in the village.

All the common people gathered around to watch.

They all looked at Du Qi.

See where Du Qi and his party will stop in the end.

Du Qi also saw the people around him, but he didn't care about them.A group of people walked into the village, and soon came to the residence of Yue Laojiu in the village.

Yue Laojiu's residence is a thatched cottage.

The hut is small.

It is only for Yue Laojiu to live alone.

"Yue Laojiu, Yue Laojiu!"

Guo Xiaozheng shouted loudly, as the voice came out.Not long after, an old man with a stooped back, a thin figure, and even sunken eye sockets appeared in the dilapidated house.

He is Yue Laojiu.

Yue Laojiu, who was already in his early fifties, even had bad eyesight.He saw a group of people coming outside the door, some couldn't see clearly, so he raised his hand above his eyes, and squinted to look at the door carefully.

It was just that the cold wind blew, and he couldn't help shivering. After all, he was wearing a piece of worn-out cotton robe, which didn't keep warm very well, and the effect of keeping out the cold was too poor.

Yue Laojiu said: "What do you want me for?"

Guo Xiaozheng led Du Qi forward and came to Yue Laojiu, Guo Xiaozheng said: "Yue Laojiu, this is His Royal Highness Pingxi Wang. I heard that your family is in trouble and you are the only one. His Royal Highness Pingxi came to express condolences. you."

King Pingxi?

When Yue Laojiu heard this, his brows raised immediately, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

The next moment, Yue Laojiu plopped and knelt down.

Although Yue Laojiu said that he was in the village all day, many people in the village went out to work, so he heard people say

Based on the above situation, we know that Du Qi is now in control of Jiuquan County, and that Du Qi is the King of Pingxi now.

Not far away, the people watching from behind all started talking.

One by one whispered.

The people were very surprised, because Du Qi, the king of Pingxi, came to visit a helpless Yue Laojiu, it was unbelievable and unbelievable.

This is a very rare thing.

Put it in the village, that is something unprecedented.

When Du Qi heard the discussion from the people in the rear, he seemed very calm, and there was nothing unexpected, because this scene was what Guo Xiaozheng wanted to achieve.

Du Qi stretched out his hand to support Yue Laojiu, and said, "Old man, you don't have to be polite, just get up and talk."

"Yes Yes!"

Yue Laojiu immediately stood up.

It's just that Yue Laojiu's face was full of panic.He was an ordinary commoner, and suddenly, King Pingxi came to his home, and he felt worried.

Du Qi said: "Let's go, go sit at your house, it's chilly outside."

"Yes Yes!"

Yue Laojiu answered quickly again.

He waved his hand, signaling Du Qi to go first, and a group of people entered the house. Although the place in Yue Laojiu's thatched cottage was remote and narrow, it was quite tidy inside, without feeling messy.

However, all the utensils and clothes in the house are dilapidated.

Yue Laojiu looked worried, and said: "Pingxi King, Caomin's house is really dilapidated, it's an insult to Pingxi King's eyes."

Du Qi shook his head and said: "Old man, I heard that in your family, you have four elder brothers and two sons, all of whom died on the battlefield. Now you are the only one left."

"There is such a thing."

Yue Laojiu said with a bitter look on his face, "But this is all in the past."

Du Qi said: "The Yue family is full of loyalty and heroism, all of whom died for the country. It can be said that the family is full of glory. Today, the king is here for no other purpose, just to visit the old man. By the way, it is near the New Year and give him some New Year's goods."

As soon as he waved, the entourage at the door entered with the prepared gifts.

Du Qi's gift was not expensive.

More than a hundred catties of wheat, a few bolts of silk, twenty catties of bacon, and some wine.Although it is not expensive, but for Yue Laojiu, based on his usual food intake and his frugal living, this is enough for his one-year ration.

After all, most of the time, he only eats one meal a day, and he doesn't eat much.

When Yue Laojiu saw the food, wine and meat, he immediately became excited.

It's really exciting.

Because of food and meat.

He was about to kneel down to salute again, but was held back by Du Qi. Du Qi said: "Old man, there is no need to be too polite, this is what you should do. The Yue family is full of loyal people, all of whom died for the country. Desolate. The king will arrange people to come and see the old man from time to time. If the old man has anything, he can go to the village official and ask him to take you to the Prince Pingxi's mansion in Jiuquan County, and tell the king directly if there is anything to do."

"Prince Pingxi is a good man."

"Pingxi Wang is very kind."
