Chapter 166 Leaving again
Shanyang Prefecture City.
These days, the city of Shanyang Prefecture is almost overcrowded. Refugees from various counties and towns below, the family does not know how many people have poured into Shanyang Prefecture.
With the influx of so many people, the pressure on the Shanyang government office suddenly became extremely huge.
The prices of food and even various materials are rising steadily. Even if Shanyang Mansion opens the granary, it will be a drop in the bucket.
In addition, the rent prices of restaurants, inns, and any residential houses that can be lived in are also rising rapidly.
With overcrowding and unbearable supplies, the word "expensive" naturally stands out.
Of course, these are nothing to Fang Yue.
He took his family to live in a tea shop in Fucheng.
Even now, the tea shop's source of tea has actually been cut off, leaving only some inventory.
After settling down, Fang Yue began to try to find out about the current situation of Shanyang Mansion and the response strategies of the Wei Dynasty.
Originally he only thought it was an ordinary rebellion for the throne, but later he saw the altar underground in Xiahe
County, which gave him a deeper understanding of this rebellion. .
Nowadays, even staying in Shanyang Mansion may not be safe.
Out of the door, Fang Yue found a restaurant.
People come and go in the restaurant, and news circulates
very fast. It is not difficult to get some news from here.
“Hey, now under the rule of our Shanyang Prefecture, that is, the Fucheng and a dozen counties to the east are relatively stable. Almost all the remaining counties have been attacked. I even heard that several counties are under attack. After the attack, the city was massacred. "
"This is nothing, I heard, no. But the same thing happened to our Shanyang Prefecture, and even to the Yongzhou Prefecture in the north, it was even worse than us. The city is now surrounded by rebels. I don’t know if it has been breached. "
" What's going on? This world is so good, why is it in chaos? "
Hearing the comments from people around him, Fang Yue frowned slightly. This turmoil actually affected three state capitals. The scale was much larger than he had imagined before.
The Wei Dynasty only had two capitals and thirteen provinces in total. At this time, three state capitals were robbed. It can be said that one-fifth of the places were in chaos.
Thinking of this, Fang Yue couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
I have a plan in my mind to leave Shanyang Mansion as soon as possible and go to a safer state capital.
Yongzhou Prefecture in the north is also in chaos, so you can't go to the north. You can only go south to Guangfeng Prefecture from Jiaojie Mountain.
Or to be more stable, go through Guangfeng Mansion, then pass through Qingzhou and enter Yujing City.
As one of the core members of the Wei Dynasty, there will definitely be no chaos in Yujing City.
However, during this period, sufficient preparations must be made, otherwise, it is likely to fall into an irreversible situation.
After all, this trip is too far, and if you want to cross the state and pass the prefecture, you must have corresponding official documents. Otherwise, you may not be able to get out of Shanyang Prefecture.
While Fang Yue was inquiring about the news in the restaurant, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blind girl on the corner of the street, being pestered by several people.
Judging from the postures of those people, it was clear that they had bad intentions.
The blind girl is Baili.
"Haha, I just said that this girl is very beautiful. Even if she has smeared pot ash on her face, I can still tell who I am, Zhu Ergou."
A young ruffian said with a smile.
At this time, another gangster also echoed: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect this girl to be so beautiful. Let's do this, you play with a few brothers, and I'll give it to you How about a pound of grain? "
"You bunch of beasts!"
Hearing this, Baili was also furious.
“Hey, this girl is quite fierce. I like it, brothers, come on!”
Hearing the young man’s shouts, the group of people immediately surrounded Baili. passed.
"Little beauty, if you play with your brothers, maybe they will let you go, but if you don't know how to show appreciation, hehe"
A group of people surrounded Baili.
“How dare you!”
Bai Li is not a weak and slender woman, and she is also resisting bravely at this moment.
“Hey, you are still a fierce little female cat. It seems that you need to train it well today!”
Zhu Ergou said with a lewd smile.
He was about to reach out to grab the woman in front of him, but at this moment, Zhu Ergou felt his body light up, and then he flew up.
“Ah~”
Zhu Ergou let out a scream, his body hit the wall of the restaurant, and his whole head was almost knocked unconscious.
Zhu Ergou felt like there were stars in his eyes and all the bones in his body were in severe pain.
At this time, Zhu Ergou saw that there was another figure where he was standing just now, and it was not Fang Yue.
Several other gangsters were so frightened by this scene that they turned pale and ran away quickly.
Although they are hooligans, they usually rely on their family's wealth to bully the weak and fear the strong. When they encounter powerful ones, they just scare them away.
For a tyrannical person like Fang Yue, no one can be his opponent.
Where dare you stay.
~~~~~~~~
A quarter of an hour later, Fang Yue followed Bai Li to the small courtyard again.
"Thank you, I have to trouble you again this time." Bai Li looked at Fang Yue gratefully.
Fang Yue shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Since we met, I'll help you."
Bai Li nodded, she also knew that Fang Yue helped. He did it more than once, but he never repaid him, and he felt quite ashamed in his heart.
"Anyway, thanks to you this time." Baili said.
At this time, a voice rang.
"Niece Baili, think about it. I will send someone to take you away from here. If it is a few days later, it will be difficult to leave by then."
Hearing this voice , Fang Yue couldn't help but frowned slightly.
This voice is very familiar. Not surprisingly, it is the same man Hengli I met before.
“Ah, niece Bai, you have guests here.”
Hui Hengli pushed the door in and saw Fang Yue. Then he looked more and more familiar. He immediately said, "Is that you?"
A moment later, in the living room.
Hui Hengli drank tea, but his eyes were fixed on Fang Yue, full of probing meaning, as if he wanted to take a closer look at Fang Yue from top to bottom, inside and out.
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that your kid's talent would be so strong. It has only been so long before it has reached this point. It is full of energy and is almost about to break through." Yu Hengli murmured to himself, Somewhat unbelievable.
Before, he saw that Fang Yue had obviously gone astray in his cultivation. Without the support of the aristocratic family, it would be difficult to continue on the path of a Qi Refiner, and he was afraid that he would not be able to break through in his lifetime.
But now, the other party's condition is about to break through.
And we are still on the path of Qi Refiner, and we are about to break through.
And looking at it now, the other party's talent is actually outstanding, and he can be called a top genius.
Maybe he was wrong before.
Heng Hengli can only explain it this way. "It's a fluke, it's just a fluke. I just kept practicing and I got like this." Fang Yue smiled slightly and said modestly.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. If I remember correctly, you should have taken up the post in Wenxi County. Did you escape to Fucheng?”
Heng Hengli said slowly: "Don't be nervous. I'm not from the government. I don't care if you became his deserter or something."
Fang Yue was noncommittal, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
“I just heard from you, is there a way to leave Shanyang Mansion?” Fang Yue asked.
Nowadays, arranging for relatives to leave Shanyang Mansion is the top priority.
He always felt unsafe in this Shanyang Mansion, and there was always a faint feeling of crisis in his heart.
"What? You want to escape too? Hey, you have an official status. If you leave like this, I'm afraid this official status will be lost. Otherwise, if you leave Shanyang Mansion without authorization, the court will punish you. "
Heng Hengli sneered twice and looked at Fang Yue solemnly.
Now, the imperial court plans to blockade Shanyang Prefecture and three other state capitals, and has strictly ordered the garrison in Shanyang Prefecture, and even the military men with meritorious status to be recruited accordingly.
This was to prepare to gather strength and defeat King Wu Cheng's army before the ban was lifted.
After saving, keeping these people will still be a problem.
"Besides, even if I have the skills, why should I help you if we are not relatives?" Fei Hengli said immediately after changing the subject.
In fact, it is not difficult for him to send some away.
"Uncle Hui, just help him. If you don't help him, I won't leave." Fang Yue was about to say something, but at this time Baili spoke, directly facing Hui Hengli said.
When Yu Hengli heard this, he also had a look of helplessness on his face.
Okay, no matter what, I never thought that this young aunt would plead for the young man in front of me like this.
Could it be that Baili has taken a liking to this boy?
Thinking of this, Fei Hengli felt as if his home-grown cabbage had been eaten by pigs.
“Okay, okay, I will accept this.”
Fei Hengli stood up immediately, and then said angrily to Fang Yue: "Go to Si Tianjian tomorrow to find me."
After leaving these words, Fei Hengli left immediately.
He is now very busy with work, so it is not easy for him to find time to come here.
Anyway, the matter is done now. Although the process is a bit tortuous, it does not hinder the result.
Then there is no need to stay, we have to go back quickly.
Fang Yue was originally planning to go to the Bai family for help, but he never expected that something like this would happen.
But if this person can sit with the Palace Master, his status must be high. Since he said he wants to help, there should be no problem.
In this case, there is no need to go to the Bai family.
After saying goodbye to Bai Li, Fang Yue returned to the tea shop.
"Brother She, I heard someone say today that the rebel army is only a few hundred miles away from Shanyang Mansion. Do you think it will be safe here?"
As soon as he returned to the tea shop, he met his eldest brother Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng also went out today and purchased some supplies such as food. Even if they were expensive, there was nothing he could do. Looking at the situation, these things would definitely not be enough in the future.
So, you have to stock up as soon as possible.
During this process, Fang Cheng also heard from others that the bandit army had begun to approach Fucheng.
"Well, we'll leave in the next two days." Fang Yue nodded and said.
"Brother He, is there any way? It's easy to leave Shanyang Mansion, but we have no road guide. If we go to other state capitals, we are afraid of being arrested as refugees."
Fang Cheng said worriedly.
This is the case in this era. If you have no identity and a roadmap, and you rashly walk on the official road, if you are caught by an official, you will be a refugee.
The policies for refugees everywhere are very simple, that is, arrest them, send them into the army, or sell them to wealthy families as slaves.
"Don't worry, this matter will be arranged by itself." Fang Yue said.
Then, I will go in with my eldest brother Fang Cheng and talk to my parents about this matter.
At this time, it was the clerk at the tea shop who reported that Mrs. Bai from the Bai family was visiting.
"Brother, let me go out and take a look."
Although Fang Yue didn't know why Bai Xingqiu's mother came here, he could only go out and take a look.
Soon we arrived at the shop in front of the tea shop.
"My nephew is preparing to visit my aunt tomorrow. How dare I bother my aunt to come?" Fang Yue said with a smile.
He has a very good relationship with Bai Xingqiu, and Mrs. Bai actually treats him well, and does not look down on his origin like some wealthy families.
So, when the other party comes, he will give him enough courtesy.
"It's not a big deal, I just came to tell you that our Bai family will move out of Shanyang Mansion the day after tomorrow. If you want to go with us, then come with us." Mrs. Bai looked at Fang Yue, said.
"Oh?" Fang Yue was slightly startled. He really didn't expect that the other party would say this when he came here.
And he still took the initiative to come to the door to speak.
"It won't be long before Shanyang Mansion will be completely in chaos. By then, even the city will not be safe." When Mrs. Bai saw Fang Yue's appearance, she thought he didn't know anything, so she immediately Just explained.
If this person had not had a very good relationship with Bai Xingqiu and was highly motivated, she would not have taken care of Fang Yue.
The Bai family had been preparing for the past two days. Fang Yue's family moved into the tea shop, so naturally someone reported to her.
So, I took the time to come here.
"However, I can only take your family away. You have merit and honor. Now the imperial court has issued an order. All military personnel with merit and honor from Shanyang Prefecture will gather in Fucheng to await dispatch."
Mrs. Bai continued: "Of course, there is no way out, that is, you have to give up your military status."
This is not surprising, Fang Yue heard similar remarks from Fei Hengli just now.
But I didn’t expect that Bai Xingqiu’s mother would say this at the same time.
Giving up military status and official status is also a way.
If you just do this, there will be no way to take part in the martial arts examination again in the future.
Fang Yue pondered slightly. If it hadn't been for what Hui Hengli said before, then he might have accepted Bai Xingqiu's mother's suggestion.
But now that I have a choice, I am not in a hurry to agree to the other party.
Fang Yue thought for a while and then said: "Thank you, aunt. Please allow my nephew to go back and discuss it with his parents."
"Yeah, that's fine."
Mrs. Bai nodded, but did not urge her. She still said gently: "Remember, we will leave the day after tomorrow at the latest, so..."
Fang Yue nodded and thanked the other party again.
He naturally knew the meaning of Mrs. Bai's unspoken words. It was already very good that the other party could give him this opportunity.
But if she is asked to risk her life and wait for a few more days, it will definitely be impossible.
