Chapter 578 General Xie is blessed
After unexpectedly receiving food, everyone's depressed mood was instantly lifted!
Everyone’s fatigue also disappeared.
Countless eyes looked at Chu Feijian, eagerly waiting for his order to replenish food.
Mrs. Xie and others were also surprised. It was extremely risky to give up food and supplies midway for the sake of survival chance.
As long as the Xie family didn't have the "backing" of gods behind them, Mrs. Xie wouldn't dare to take such a gamble.
Unexpectedly, the surprise came so quickly.
Zhang Dayi communicated with Mrs. Xie privately: "Madam, it seems that General Xie and Master Xiong are making good progress. I think the good news should be coming soon."
If it could really be like that, it would be the best, Mrs. Xie thought to herself.
She pondered for a moment and said: "Although the situation is different from what I originally thought, what Mr. Zhang said is true. This is a good situation."
When the Xie family was discussing in private, Chu Feijian couldn't make up his mind alone and looked at Mrs. Xie.
Seeing this, Zhang Dayi whispered: "It's hard for the old lady to say anything about this matter."
The issue of food rations during the exile should not be left to the control of the prisoners. Even though the Xie family secretly had some appeal among the prisoners, it was not easy for them to influence the officials.
Mrs. Xie understood his concerns and reminders, and when she saw Chu Feijian looking over, she shook her head slightly.
Chu Feijian's eyes were slightly startled, but it was only for a moment. He thought for a moment and figured out what the Xie family meant.
Now, he is the escorting officer of this exile team. It is really inappropriate to ask the escorted prisoners about their intentions at every turn.
Chu Feijian thought for a while, then turned to look at the expectant eyes of the team behind him...
He raised his head and glanced at the sky.
"Go forward one kilometer and bury the pot to cook!"
"Okay!"
"Wow——"
Everyone cheered happily. Although Chu Feijian did not order cooking immediately, the distance of one kilometer was not particularly difficult for everyone if there was hope.
The team had already set off, but it was not long before they stopped again. Besides, there were too few shelters on this section of the road, and the cold wind was cold and strong. Chu Feijian was ready to lead the team, and the whole team's pace unconsciously quickened, and soon they found it. A suitable place to camp.
Make a fire and cook.
The smoke rising from the kitchen is the most likely to expose the target. Chu Feijian was afraid of causing trouble and reminded him to be more careful many times.
Everyone was already hungry after walking for a long time, so the Xie family chose a quick and convenient way to make an easy-to-eat dinner.
Although everyone was not completely full, at least they had something in their stomachs so that they would not be too hungry. Fortunately, among the things Xie Yuchuan had sent, there were a lot of portable foods, and even dried meat with sugar in them.
Even Chu Feijian and the escort officials had never eaten such food before.
Mrs. Xie asked her daughter-in-law Zhou to give all the food to Chu Feijian. Since Xie Yuchuan asked her men to deliver it openly, she already understood what her grandson meant.
There are some things that the Xie family no longer intends to hide on the way to exile.
In this case, wouldn't it be better to leave things to the emissaries?
Everyone had an impromptu meal and something to eat, their bodies felt warm and they felt more energetic when walking.
The tour guides gave everyone something to replenish their strength on the way. With "food" in their hands, everyone felt a lot more confident, and the rest of the journey was much faster than before.
The sky was getting dark, the night was dark, and the journey began to become difficult.
Over the distant mountains, it took a long time to see the smoke of letters flying into the sky. Chu Fei looked back with an arrow, but the most critical one was still missing. He pondered deeply, watching the prisoners rushing forward one after another. He called one of his men. .
"Chu Tou?"
"Take this thing, ride on my fast horse, and quickly go to the post office to sign the letter." "Yes!"
Chu Feijian gave his horse to the other party and walked to the side of Xie's house.
Zhang Dayi was deeply surprised: "Master Chu, how do you walk?"
"Let someone go to the front to report the news first." Chu Fei said with an arrow.
Zhang Dayi raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes flashed unexpectedly, and he looked at Mrs. Xie, who was also a little surprised like him.
Chu Feijian said: "I know, it's already this hour, and there are no people on the road. I think there will be some problems ahead. However, report it when you need to, so as not to cause trouble later. It would be better if you can call someone to take care of it. ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Xie nodded slightly and said, "Master Chu is interested."
Zhang Dayi stroked his beard and glanced at him appreciatively, "Although there is little hope of meeting him, Master Chu is indeed more thoughtful in handling the errand."
How could the neighboring prefectures and counties not know that Yucheng was raising troops and mobilizing people for such a battle, but they were all watching the excitement, waiting for the final victory to be clear before they were willing to stand up and pick up the heat.
When the potato is hot, who is willing to stand up and help with a black gauze hat on their head?
Chu Feijian didn't really count on it. As a small official, he was naturally accustomed to taking care of things in all directions without breaking any taboos.
Zhang Dayi and Mrs. Xie both understood what Chu Feijian was doing, but they both understood better that under such circumstances, unless Xie Yuchuan and Yucheng County Magistrate Feng Chen had a clear victory in suppressing the bandits, nearby reinforcements would provide support.
People from all parties have not been seen for a long time, either because they are unwilling to get involved, or because Feng Chen has no better news.
As the team moved forward slowly, Mrs. Xie hobbled on crutches.
After walking silently for a while, she frowned unconsciously in the darkness and whispered to her daughter-in-law Zhou, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the family god in Yuchuan."
Zhou didn't react for a moment.
"Mom, why do you think so? No way."
Mrs. Xie didn't speak loudly, but since it was quiet at night, the slightest sound would be amplified.
Zhang Dayi was supporting his mother and following behind him, and just now he heard Mrs. Xie's words.
He suppressed the thoughts in his eyes. Although he did not speak, what he was thinking in his heart was indeed the same as that of the old lady of the Xie family.
Is there any problem between Xie Yuchuan and the Xie family god?
Mr. Hanlin walked all the way at night, and this idea became stronger and stronger in his mind.
Mrs. Xie walked with her head down, looked up at the sky, and murmured: "It's already this hour."
Mrs. Zhou thought about the old lady's words in her heart, then her expression suddenly changed, the light in her eyes flashed, and worry creeped onto her face unconsciously.
Mrs. Xie stretched out her hand and patted her gently, and said comfortingly: "It's okay. That child in Yuchuan is a child who has been through things. Even if there is an accident between him and the family god, the child will be able to do something about it."
"Yes." Mrs. Zhou nodded with a slightly flustered expression. Although she knew that what her mother-in-law said was not simply to comfort her, as a mother, she still couldn't help but worry about her son Xie Yuchuan.
Zhang Dayi said behind him: "General Xie, good people have their own destiny."
"Yes, that kid from Yuchuan is very lucky." Mrs. Zhang next to her also said.
Ruan and Xie Zhen were at the back, taking turns carrying their son Xie Jiarui on their backs.
The child is tired and feels heavy.
When she wakes up, she insists on walking alone, but when she is asleep, she has no choice but to crawl on top of the elders at home.
A wisp of colorful smoke happened to cut through the night sky at this moment.
