The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao saw that the little Taoist's face was a little swollen, so he steamed an egg and used it to apply on his face. "Look at you, you have learned a lot from the old Taoist, but why did you just let him do whatever he wanted? If I hadn't been able to catch up, his kick would have damaged all your internal organs."

The young Taoist priest smiled heartlessly, "I forgot because I was in a hurry. Thank you for your help, thank you for your help."

Xu Yao rolled his eyes at him and told him to practice hard and not be careless anymore. "The world is going to be in chaos. If you don't have a skill, you'll be in danger in the future."

The young Taoist priest was confused and didn't understand why the world was in chaos.

He is so young, just over ten years old, how could he understand these things?

Xu Yao sighed, patted his shoulder, and went to light a fire to cook. He also said that he was growing and should eat more. He made him a whole bowl of noodles and fried two eggs, and told him to eat quickly.

Some people in the yard were already making fires and cooking, while others were eating the dry food they had brought with them. They didn't know how long they would be here, so they ate very frugally.

There was a woman holding a baby and crying loudly. She seemed to have insufficient milk and was crying anxiously. Her mother-in-law was also very anxious and came to ask Xu Yao if he had a stone mill so that she could grind some rice flour and mix it with water to feed the child.

Xu Yao thought about the sheep he brought back yesterday and asked the little Taoist priest if the sheep had any milk.

The young Taoist priest was puzzled: "That's a ram, where does the milk come from?"

Xu Yao had forgotten about this, but luckily the young Taoist priest said that there was indeed a stone mill, so he took the woman to grind rice flour.

I made a bowl of rice noodles with hot water and fed it to the child bit by bit. The child stopped crying after he was full.

Xu Yao thought about it and decided to prepare the goat while no one was paying attention. He marinated the mutton. It might not be enough to eat it all in one meal, so he decided to marinate it and keep it as an emergency food.

When she came out after finishing her work, she found that the wheat-skinned man who had helped her before had started talking to Kang Runyue.

The two chatted for an unknown amount of time before Kang Runyue saw Xu Yao and hurried over to tell her that the man's name was Lin Shi.

Originally I was working in the county government office. I went home to visit my relatives these days. Unexpectedly, I encountered this incident. In desperation, I took the villagers to hide in the Taoist temple. I feel sorry for causing trouble to others today. I spontaneously organized people and have started patrolling.

Xu Yao took a deep look at the man and felt that he was quite responsible.

He found Lin Shi and asked him to look after the Taoist temple while he went down the mountain to find out the situation.

Lin Shi thought about how she had dealt with those ruffians before, and it was obvious that she was not an ordinary person. She not only had the means but also the strength. So he agreed without hesitation and promised to take good care of the people in the temple.

Xu Yao went down the mountain and found that there was a new group of bandits in the town. They blocked the entrance to the town. When Xu Yao saw this scene, he knew that these people were not ordinary bandits, but deserters.

I just don’t know if he is a deserter from Dingnan.

She thought that the town commander had gone to the county government to report the news, so how could he let these people take over and control the town?

Xu Yao was waiting quietly in the woods outside the town and caught a guard who came out to urinate. The man was captured by him and was frightened and nervous.

Xu Yaomeng looked very ferocious from this perspective.

"Boy, what do you want to ask me? What do you want to answer? If you say anything dishonest, I will punish you. Do you understand?"

The man nodded repeatedly, begging her not to kill him.

Xu Yao asked: "Where did you find these deserters from?"

The man was surprised, "How do you know I'm a deserter?"

Xu Yao snorted coldly without explaining. The man smiled awkwardly and said, "He said he was from the Great Zhou."

"A deserter from the Great Zhou. Why would a deserter from the Great Zhou come here?"

"You don't know, sir. Beichen went south to attack Wanzhou. Our general said that if Beichen took Wanzhou, they could bypass and directly enter the territory of Dazhou. We must block this hole at all costs and never let Beichen soldiers enter Wanzhou."

Xu Yao sneered: "Look at you, have you lost?"

The man smiled awkwardly and said that it was because of his superior's improper command that they took the wrong route and were separated. They had nowhere to go and ended up here inexplicably.

Xu Yao slapped him and said he was dishonest. "This place is at least a county away from Wanzhou, if not a million miles away. You can walk here casually. You are kidding me. Tell the truth!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the man had to confess honestly that they were a team of scouts sent out to investigate the situation here.

As for what to look for, he didn't know.

Xu Yao couldn't figure out the geographical situation, but even if he sent scouts to gather information, why did he have to occupy the town?

This person still doesn't know and just follows orders and does his job.

Xu Yao simply stopped asking and asked him again: "If Beichen attacks, can the Great Zhou withstand it?"

The soldier shook his head hesitantly.

"Why, isn't your emperor very powerful? I heard that he has been in power for five years, and he has cleaned up the government, the government is in order, and the people are in harmony. Every household has meat to eat, and they live a very good life, not to mention you soldiers."

The soldier shook his head and said, "That's not the case at all. In the first two years after he ascended the throne, the emperor granted amnesty to the entire country and exempted many taxes. But after only five years, the new emperor has stopped being able to do so."

"What's wrong?"

"I heard that the emperor took a kind of elixir and lived a life of drunkenness and dreaming every day. Now he is a little crazy. I heard that he has not attended court for a long time, and the government is controlled by the Queen Liu Moyan. The Great Zhou is now like Beichen, with hens crowing at dawn."

Xu Yao paused, feeling very surprised. The young lady who used to have a head full of naive fantasies, became the queen and the ruler of the Great Zhou?

This upgrade speed is like riding a rocket.

It is conceivable that the innocent Liu Moyan must have suffered a lot to be in power and feared by others today.

Otherwise, as a woman, how could she make the men in the court listen to her and let her drive them around?

"That's your emperor's own fault. Why did he take the elixir for no reason? Isn't this courting death?"

The soldier said, "Someone has betrayed your majesty. Your majesty is a man of noble appearance and noble character, and you are the emperor. If it weren't for the evil concubine, how could the country be in this situation? A hen crowing at dawn is a sign of chaos in the country."

Xu Yao was too lazy to reason with this man. He was afraid that he was not the only one who thought this way, but the entire Great Zhou thought this way.

I don’t know if Liu Moyan has the means of the Queen Mother to control the Great Zhou.

If the world perished in her hands, she would be in great trouble.

Xu Yao asked a few more questions, then knocked the man unconscious and left in a hurry.

After nightfall, Xu Yao sneaked into the city.

There were still some civilians in the city who stayed indoors, while some tried to escape under the cover of night.

When Xu Yao saw the sneaky figure, he did not make a sound. Instead, he climbed over the eaves and walls to guard the master's house.

Whoever knew about it would find out that the garrison commander had gone to the county government office to report the news and had not returned yet.

Xu Yao had a very bad feeling in his heart that the old man was really a jinx.
