It seems to be true. Fang Shaohua was a little embarrassed and coughed twice: "Well, it is true, but it doesn't matter, Xiaoxi can make money."
Tong Ruyan burst out laughing: "You are a brother, how can you be so confident in using your sister's money?"
Master Fang blinked his eyes and said, "We are a family. When my sister gets married, I will give her more. Don't worry, I can earn it back."
Tong Ruyan nodded: "Yes, I believe you."
The next step was for the two families to discuss the wedding date. Tong Ruyu looked at everyone and said, "Can we wait for a while for this wedding date?"
He had his own thoughts. If what Liuzi said was true, then the refugees would surely arrive soon. If his sister married into the Fang family, he would regret it if the Fang family didn't protect her well.
Originally, Master Fang should have known about this matter, but because he was resting at home and was busy with getting married, he had not had time to tell him.
"Brother, why is this happening?"
Their horoscopes have been calculated and it is confirmed that they are a match made in heaven. Now the engagement has been submitted and the nearest auspicious date is this month, which means they will have just half a month to get married.
Tong Ruyu thought that Master Fang would know about this sooner or later: "Come with me, I will tell you."
The two went to the side hall, and Tong Ruyu told Liuzi the news: "My Lord and Madam are now investigating together. If it is true, I am afraid that refugees will attack. Fangjia Village is not a very safe place."
He felt that what he said was tactful enough. Master Fang also thought of this and looked at Tong Ruyu: "Brother, no, if there are really refugees coming, I can take my family to the villa for help. Compared to the town, the villa is safer."
Tong Ruyu was stunned. He had not thought of this. "No, I suggest that you let Nannan take the people from the other courtyard back to the county town to live. The county government is safer here. In short, let's not rush this matter, okay?"
Master Fang thought about it and realized that what Tong Ruyu said was right. If this was true, he really wasn't suitable to get married now. After getting married, he would be busy and wouldn't be able to take care of his wife.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Big Brother. Let's not talk about the wedding date for now. Wait until this matter is over. If you really want it, I will definitely be very busy during this period. Please take care of Yan'er."
Fang Shaohua was so reasonable that Tong Ruyu was satisfied. She patted Fang Shaohua on the shoulder and said, "She is my sister. I will take good care of her. You, take good care of your family as well."
When the two came out of the side hall, they said that they would discuss the wedding date next year. Tong Ruyan took a look at the two and knew that something big must have happened. They were quite well behaved.
The people from the Fang family saw that Fang Shaohua had agreed, so they didn't say anything and went home after delivering the betrothal gifts.
On the way home, Fang Xiaoxi couldn't wait to ask Master Fang. Master Fang glanced at the Fang family and said, "During this period, everyone should stay out. Something big has happened. We have to wait for the adults to report the details. Xiaoxi, especially you, why don't you go to school during this period?"
Nannan had to do other things and stopped going to the academy. Beibei and his group also left, and Fang Xiaoxi went to school alone, which really worried him.
Fang Xiaoxi smiled: "Will Xianyou Town become chaotic?"
Master Fang shook his head: "That's not the case."
Even if refugees come, they will control them in advance, after all, they have received the news in advance.
Fang Xiaoxi shrugged her shoulders: "That's fine, it won't get out of hand anyway, why are you worried? Besides, my future sister-in-law is still teaching at the academy, so of course I have to go to school."
Unable to convince Fang Xiaoxi, Master Fang could only ask Nan Nan for help. Nan Nan really needed Fang Xiaoxi's help, so she went to convince Fang Xiaoxi herself.
At this time, after a day and a night, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu had already arrived outside Shanzhou City. After returning the horse to the space, Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but suggest: "Let's go in stealth first to see what's going on inside?"
Mu Yexiao of course agreed: "Okay, then let's go invisible and take a look at the situation inside."
If the people in Shanzhou City were living well like in other cities, they would not bother them. If the people were living in poverty as Liuzi said before, they would have time to come out and deliver the message.
So the two of them used space to become invisible and entered through the city gate. Once they entered the city, they saw that the entire street was empty.
The two looked at each other and understood that what Liuzi said was true. The restaurant, clinic, and inn were all closed.
The two wandered around the city and saw a desolate scene. It seemed that things had become serious. The two went to the ruined temple-like place in the city again. Only to find that it was crowded with people.
But these people all had yellow faces, and it was obvious that they were malnourished. Their eye sockets were sunken, and they looked like they were about to die at any time.
The two looked at the appearance of these people. Even if they wanted to disguise themselves, it seemed that they couldn't do it. There were so many people in the dilapidated temple, but there was no sound at all, and their eyes were full of despair.
Even the two people who had experienced life and death on the battlefield felt uncomfortable seeing this scene, as if the entire city was filled with endless desolation.
Unable to communicate with people, the two left the ruined temple and went to the rich households in the city to check the situation. They found that the rich households in the city were divided into two types, some of them were empty, and even if there were people, they were hiding in the basement to survive.
The other kind was a house with bright lights, even wine and meat, and the food was all the best. Seeing this scene, the two wanted to show up and kill those who wasted food.
There are many guards in the homes of these people. This is the situation in Shanzhou City. I don’t know what the situation is like in the counties and towns under Shanzhou City, nor do I know how large an area the insect plague has spread.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao worked hard to walk around the city and the county town below. They found that the land was completely bare.
In other words, the insect plague was widespread. By the time Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had walked around the entire Shanzhou City, several days had passed.
The two men left Shanzhou City and wrote a message to Kyoto. They also sent a message to Nannan, asking Nannan to prepare to receive and resettle the refugees.
And asked Beibei and others to bring a batch of food over. She wanted to use this batch of food to do something. After the message was sent out, Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "I'm afraid we will have to use the food in the space this time."
The biggest reason why the Great Zhou army was able to unify the world so easily was that they never had to worry about food and fodder.
There are countless grains in the space of Qianjiujiu, so the Great Zhou Dynasty is not afraid of natural disasters or insect plagues and has the ability to solve them.
But this time the insect plague has turned into a man-made disaster. If the official had reported it in time, the imperial court would have sent food to relieve the disaster, and perhaps there would have been no deaths at all.
But this person, for the sake of his own achievements, dared to conceal such a big thing and even acted like a local tyrant here. Did he really think that others would know nothing because the emperor was far away
Qian Jiujiu had no objection to using the food from the space: "Okay, when we enter the city, let's put out a batch of food and let the space guards come out. They have been immersed in it for so long, it's time for them to play a role."
This guard team is Mu Yexiao's prince guard team, which is the 100 people who were put in the space for training before. They came out when they were in Huacheng. After that, they have been training all the time and have not appeared.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao started to get busy, loading the food in the space onto a wheelbarrow and then carrying it outside.
When it was ready, there were 100 wheelbarrows of food, about 20,000 kilograms of food. Qian Jiujiu came to the place where the guards were training, knocked out 100 people, and released 100 people.
When the guards came out, they woke up and saw that it was their master. They immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, Master."
Speaking of which, these guards are very depressed. They train in the same place every day, and when they are needed, they are always taken out unconscious.
Mu Yexiao nodded and looked at the man: "Push the food, follow us, and don't say anything."
The loyalty and obedience of these people are unmatched by anyone else. Whatever Qian Jiujiu says is what they mean, and they never say more.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, along with a hundred guards and food, reappeared at the gate of Shanzhou City. They saw Beibei and his group, and behind Beibei was a group of people who were also transporting food.
The two teams will be together, which looks quite impressive. Beibei thought when he came here that if there is a disaster here, food will be needed.
So he hired escorts, bought food, and had it delivered. When he was about to wait at the city gate, his parents had already arrived.
"Dad, Mom, you're here. This is the grain I bought. Shall we go into the city? Let's pretend we're from the Gu family who came to collect the grain, okay?"
The Gu family was the royal family among grain merchants. The most abundant thing was grain, so it was not wrong to say that they were sent by the Gu family to collect grain.
"Okay then, let's call the Gu family. From now on, this is Mr. Gu and I am Madam Gu. Don't call me the wrong name."
Beibei nodded excitedly: "Yes, my name is Gu Beibei, and this is my brother, Master Gu. Do you all remember him?"
The people who followed naturally nodded: "Remember."
As for the escorts behind them, Beibei had hired them in the name of the Gu family, so there was no problem at all. After the group was ready, they prepared to enter the city in a grand manner.
