Dressed as a villain's wife

March 27.

Liu Jie, who was sent out to the city, led a team to clear away the rotten but not collapsed trees.

But he didn't expect to find a few sneaky figures outside.

Feeling suspicious, Liu Jie led his men to hide in the dark and observe their every move.

Those few people were walking in a hurry, but they didn't look like they wanted to escape into Yan City. They not only walked around the city wall, but also left a mark wherever they went.

They knew that Xincheng had sent a spy to inquire about the situation in Yancheng, but they never thought that they would come again so soon.

Liu Jie didn't look good. He saw that the team he had brought out simply split into two and asked a few people to go back to the city to report first. He took the rest and followed these people to see what they wanted to do. .

In order to hide their eyes from others, those people all changed into the clothes of ordinary people. They circled around the city wall. Seeing the sky getting dark, they hurriedly ran in one direction.

I followed them all the way and stopped about twenty miles away from the city gate. I saw a hundred or ten people gathered in a clearing that had been cleared. They were lighting a bonfire and muttering something in a low voice.

Looking at the weapons in their hands, Liu Jie's expression darkened.

This should be the team that came to inquire about the news first. I'm afraid that Xincheng's large forces are coming soon.

This matter was of great importance, and Liu Jie did not dare to delay. He was even more afraid that the whereabouts of the few of them would be exposed, so he hurried back to the city.

In the city lord's mansion, Shen Wenchen was looking at the letter sent back by Twelve.

Twelve and Eleven have now led their troops to separate places.

On the [-]th, he went south and went to Ejiang to conquer, especially to open up a way to expand food.

The grain produced by the Ejiang River in one year is enough to feed the people of the Xia Kingdom for a year and a half, but now the whole country is short of food, just because the food from the Ejiang River is cut off by several surrounding cities.

Two of the three cities rebelled, and the only one who still insisted on his true intentions was about to be driven to death by the other two cities.

Twelve is in Huaiyang, five hundred miles away from Yancheng.

The government in Huaiyang controlled the gangsters' collusion, and the people of Huaiyang had no means of living, but they kept the water bandits there fat and strong.

Huaiyang is also the only way to transport grain, so they want to kill chickens to scare monkeys.

"General, what should we do now?"

"Wait."

Shen Wenchen said in a deep voice.

He had sent people to Xincheng a few days ago to inquire about the news. He didn't believe that after so long, the Xincheng Society was not affected at all.

Not to mention food and medicinal materials, there was also the previous rat plague. He did not believe that there was no plague in Xincheng.

In this natural disaster, nearly one-tenth of the people in Xia Kingdom have died.

It can only be said that Yancheng was lucky.

But even so, many people died of illness in the city.

The lord of Xincheng did nothing and even drove the people out of the city. He didn't believe how many troops they still had.

What they really need to worry about is how much food and grass there is.

He believed that his brothers, Eleven and Twelve, would regain their lost ground and open the waterway as soon as possible.

As long as they can hold on until that time, they will definitely win.

"General, my subordinates look at these people a little strange. They don't look like normal people."

Liu Jie recalled the scene when he saw them.

Their faces were gray and their eyes were dull and lifeless.

Not like a living person, more like a living dead.

"What kind of weird method?"

Shen Wenchen's heart was ringing with alarm bells.

Now that he has seen everything, he will no longer find it strange even if zombies come.

"It was too dark and I was worried about being discovered, so I only followed with my subordinates from a distance.

Their faces and exposed parts were gray in color, and there was no expression on their faces. There was no life in their eyes at all, and they looked more like the living dead. "

Liu Jie didn't know if he didn't see clearly, but the people he followed today were indeed abnormal.

"Okay, I understand. You can take a team of people to check out the situation tomorrow. For now, stay put and wait for the people who went out to inquire for information to come back."

"Yes."

Liu Jie nodded in agreement and hurriedly left the city lord's mansion.

"Wen Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Wenchen hadn't eaten for a day, so Nanzhi came over with some food.

When it comes to eating, it's just a bowl of multigrain porridge with a small plate of pickles.

Now the city lord's mansion can only have these things, let alone the common people.

Looking at the gruel in the bowl, Shen Wenchen felt a little guilty in his eyes.

It's because I feel sorry for Nan Nan.

She was pregnant, but she couldn't even eat any meat.

"There are people from Xincheng guarding the city outside. I'm afraid we'll have to fight again."

Shen Wenchen held Nanzhi's hand and noticed that it was a little cold, so he only used his own hand to warm her.

"Why don't you wear an extra coat?"

"I'm not cold. I feel hot even after taking a few steps."

Nanzhi shook his head and continued to ask.

"Have the people who went to Xincheng to inquire about the news come back yet?"

"Not yet. I think I should be back tomorrow. Twelve has sent a letter again. He and Eleven are now leading their own troops to open the road for food transportation. As long as we wait for news from them, we will I can get through this difficulty.”

Shen Wenchen didn't know whether he was comforting Nanzhi or doing some mental construction for himself.

"That's good."

Nanzhi was indeed relieved. Although there were not many rats in the city now, it did not mean that there were not any. If the food was not transported back quickly, there would be war outside and famine inside. Then there would be no need to fight, as long as the other party's If there is enough food, they themselves can start fighting among themselves because they have nothing to eat.

"everything will get better."

Shen Wenchen patted Nanzhi on the shoulder, and the two fell into silence again for a while.

"Everything will be fine."

Nanzhi said to himself.

His hands subconsciously touched his bulging pregnant belly.

She is due in one month.

If there is no result within this month, she doesn't know what it will be like in the end.

"It will definitely get better."

Shen Wenchen hugged the person tightly and said.

He wouldn't let anything happen to them.

In any case not.

Xiao He still runs around at night.

He found an opportunity.

Although almost 80.00% of the land has been polluted, there are many places with the same situation as that rock.

A small place relies on that little bit of aura to resist the spread of pollution.

It shows that they are trying hard to save themselves.

I don’t want to collapse with the world.

If more spiritual energy can flow into this world, maybe these problems can be solved.

At least some people can survive.

But where does the spiritual energy come from?

A world either relies on itself to generate spiritual energy, or it is interfered by external forces.

However, the spiritual energy of this small world is almost exhausted. If he wants to be influenced by external forces, it is simply impossible for his new-born Heavenly Dao to do so.

The only one who can do it is the old man. Not to mention that he doesn't know where he is now. Even if he is here, he may not be willing to help him.

bother.
