The Submissive Emperor

57

Because Xiao Chengjun was in a carriage, with salutes and servants, he walked slowly, so Lou Jing wanted to catch up quickly before he arrived in Minzhou.

They followed the mark left by Yun Jiu, crossing Qingzhou from the capital, and now they have just reached the boundary of Jiangzhou, and they have lost the trace of Xiao Chengjun!

Even if you take a horse-drawn carriage and walk slowly, it's time to reach the south of Jiangzhou in half a month!

"Master, the subordinates will go and explore the small road again, maybe they have walked the small road." Yun Yi was carried by the collar, and he didn't see any panic.

Lou Jing released his hand and looked around. They were walking on the official road. It was noon, and there was no one on the spacious road. "What is the nearest town to here?"

Yun Er, who remembered the terrain well, stepped forward immediately, "This is the south of Yunyang County, and the nearest county seat is Zhoushan County. A hundred and twenty miles ahead is Xunyang County, and Xunyang County is the place to cross the river. "

Lou Jing took a deep breath, "Yunyi went to the nearby trail to find the mark, and Yunba went around to see if there was any abnormality."

"Yes." The two turned on their horses and walked away.

Since stepping into Jiangzhou, Lou Jing felt that something was wrong. Not only was it too quiet on the official road, but also felt that the situation around him was a little unusual, but he couldn't tell what was unusual. Frowning for a long time, Lou Jing abruptly got up, and quickly got into the woods behind him.

Small woods were planted on both sides of the official road, and through the woods, there was a field. It is now the end of March, and the wheat in the field has been eared, but it is immature and green.

It's just that almost all the greenery is wheat stalks, and it's staggered, the immature wheat ears are gone!

Lou Jing picked up a handful of straw that was thrown on the ground, and finally understood where the strangeness was. There was a shortage of water in the north of Jiangzhou, and rice was not planted. He hurried on the road without paying attention. Only then did he remember that he had entered the boundary of Jiangzhou. The wheat fields around the official road are almost intact.

Most wheat ears are empty in March and it is impossible to harvest them now. What happened? Even if the bandits make trouble, they won't even ruin the fields.

"Master, the nearby village has a fence to prevent outsiders from entering, and there are young people with knives guarding the entrance of the village." Yunba rushed over on horseback and dismounted to report. Here, the subordinate did not dare to approach."

Although the nine of them are all powerful in martial arts, there are hundreds of people there. To be cautious, Yun Ba didn't come forward to inquire, and watched from a distance for a while before riding away.

Lou Jing's brows gradually frowned, and he looked at the fields that looked like locusts crossing the border. There is no doubt that there have been people fleeing here, and there are a lot of people! If there are a large number of refugees in Jiangzhou, then the road is really difficult to follow. Although Xiao Chengjun’s carriage does not look very luxurious on the outside, it is definitely good material. Walking in Jiangzhou where there are many refugees, the dangers they face can be Think about it.

The bandits will take care of the officers and soldiers, the refugees are extremely hungry, but it doesn't matter who you are.

"Master, behind the dirt road stone stele in front, I found the mark of Yun Jiu," Yun ran over dignifiedly, embarrassed, "Your Highness, they are heading to Xunyang."
