===========================

Huo Yunchao received a letter from King Xiao, and King Xiao briefly talked about the current situation that he might be targeted, and told him to play it by ear.

Huo Yunchao asked Zuo Ye: "How is Luobo?"

Zuo Yehui: "I have arranged people to buy food according to your instructions. Zhou Jin asked his people not to rob us. When the food reserves are not enough, the people will naturally riot. Kuang Rong is trying to arrange 'refugees' in Zhengyang. However, Zhengyang is heavily guarded and only allowed to go out but not to enter, so I am afraid it will take some time."

Luobo is the first city in the north of Zhengyang, and it is very close to Zhengyang. Once there is chaos in Luobo, Zhengyang will inevitably be involved. Those aristocratic families are really short-sighted. They only know how to guard Zhengyang. Zhengyang will be able to keep its own world, but it is not impossible to abandon Zhengyang and find another city to build the capital after recovering the main city of Dajia.

It's thanks to them abandoning King Xiao early, otherwise King Xiao wouldn't know that they would be so arrogant, and would consciously guard the rear to avoid exposure, thus causing trouble for Huo Yunchao.

It's just that it is much more convenient to capture Zhengyang.

Hearing that he could only enter but not exit, Huo Yunchao frowned slightly: "Is there a way to bribe those officers and soldiers? Or the officials directly under the city defense army."

Zuo Ye shook his head: "I'm thinking of a way. At present, the important positions in the court are people from the aristocratic family. Two years ago, King Xiao came to power, and at the request of the aristocratic family, many virtuous officials in the court were dismissed, and the aristocratic family put their own people in." Go in and take over those positions, now it’s hard to find people who don’t belong to any faction.”

Huo Yunchao lowered his eyes and pondered, carefully thinking about who else could use Zhengyang, and who else could come out to exchange information with him under the current situation. After much deliberation, he thought of Huo Ying.

"..." Huo Yun looked at Zuo Ye with a strange expression on his face.

Zuo Ye's hair stood on end, resisting the urge to shake off goosebumps, and asked respectfully, "Master, did you think of something?"

Huo Yunchao thought for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, it's better not to get in touch with him, otherwise Ah Liang will be jealous."

Zuo Ye:?Why did you suddenly involve Mr. Qing again?

Huo Yunchao waved his hand, Zuoye stepped back with question marks all over his face.

Inside Zhengyang City.

The news about Huo Ying fighting with the children of the family suddenly spread. Huo Ying seemed to have gone crazy. When he met the children of the family, he sent people to carry out a sneak attack. The children of the family were not convinced. When they saw Huo Ying, they took people to chase , the whole Zhengyang was suddenly turned into a mess by this group of young people. Many people found that Huo Ying now is quite similar to the No. [-] dude in Zhengyang back then.

Back then, that dandy often fought with people on the street, disturbed the people living nearby so that they couldn't sleep, and was thrown eggs a lot, but compared with Huo Ying and the others, that kind of simple fights were actually considered pediatrics.

The fight between Huo Ying and the others evolved from the most common fight to the enclosure of territory and supplies.

For example, when the children of the family went to Jubao Pavilion for dinner, Huo Ying directly spent money on Jubao Pavilion. You can go in if you want, but no one will cook for you.

The children of the aristocratic family are not angry, they spent all the entertainment venues, you can live a chic life, but you don't even want to touch any beautiful women.

It is well known that Huo Ying likes to pick up girls. Cutting off his girls is like cutting off his rations. Huo Ying went crazy, and directly used his remaining rights to control the market, making people buy rice from all the grain stores in Zhengyang , Tell the children of those aristocratic families not to eat anywhere.

All the aristocratic families didn't take Huo Ying's action seriously when they had their own food and oil, but this action hurt the common people. Now that Zhengyang is in a closed state, who knows how much rice grain reserves are left?

Originally, Huo Ying's actions related to the national economy and the people's livelihood should be stopped, but the huge profits brought about by the rise in the price of oil and rice made the aristocratic families suddenly taste the sweetness. Soaring, it won't be long before many people will buy grain from outside at high prices. The tighter the grain, the higher the price. They can transport the grain out of Zhengyang from their own grain depots and start selling from places far away from Zhengyang. The closer Zhengyang is, the higher the price, and the greater the profit they can get.

In the beginning, it was only the different grain shops of different families who did this silently, but as time went by, more and more people were eyeing this huge cake, and they all started to do it silently.

Empress Dowager Dong lived deep in the harem and didn't know anything about the specific situation of food and prices. She was still obsessed with putting Qing Tianliang on the throne. The matter is simply happy to see it come to fruition, he has already seen the ongoing state of Zhengyang's disintegration, sitting on a chair in his palace, he couldn't help laughing.

Huo Ying was sitting on the couch beside him. He would go for a run on Zhengyang Street every day for the past few days, and when he came back he felt exhausted. When he heard Xiao Wang laughing, he raised his head and asked him, "What is the emperor laughing at?"

King Xiao replied, "I'm laughing at you for not doing human affairs. So many people have no food to eat. I heard that people in the slums in the east of the city have already starved to death. If this continues, Zhengyang will be in chaos sooner or later."

Huo Ying frowned: "Then I send someone to distribute food to them?"

King Xiao said: "Distributing food will make your plan go to waste. If you lose this opportunity, you will never find a good time to disintegrate Zhengyang."

Huo Ying didn't understand what Xiao Wang and the others were planning. He only knew that Qing Tianliang told him that if he did this, the children of the family would never be able to bully him again, and the children of the family would become very miserable. After seeing it, she will definitely be hooked. For this "happiness", Huo Ying began to work hard to do what Qing Tianliang told him, but he didn't want to kill so many people because of the reason "to vent his anger".

"But... if someone dies because of this incident, wouldn't it be my fault? I don't want people to die." Huo Ying said.

Xiao Wang squinted at him and shook his head: "If you really can't stand it, you can save people yourself, but the people you save must be 'dead people'."

"Dead? How do you say that?" Huo Ying asked.

Xiao Wang explained: "You are going to rescue them, but you have to hide them for the time being, and announce to the public that they have starved to death, and you cannot let them out until the matter is completed."

"Why do this?"

"To cause panic, panic, is exactly what we need right now."

Huo Ying took a deep breath. Seeing Xiao Wang's appearance, these things were all in his plan. Huo Ying knew that he couldn't keep up with their rhythm, so she didn't ask any more questions. After thinking about it carefully, she still decided Go and steal away those who are dying of starvation, lest you do evil yourself.

"Then uncle, I will leave first." Huo Ying got up and said.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Wang asked.

Huo Ying said: "I'll go and talk to Qing Tianliang about the situation outside first, and then I'll go and see those common people, Uncle Emperor." Huo Ying called him.

Xiao Wang tilted his head, motioning for him to speak directly, Huo Ying struggled for a moment, and said: "Can I... can I hide those people in your house first? I don't have a house yet, I just put it in someone else's place." I'm afraid I can't keep the secret, you have been living in the palace, and there is no one to take care of your house for the time being, can you take them in for a while, and I will send those people away after what you said 'is done'?"

Xiao Wang didn't say a word for a while, just looked at Huo Ying, Huo Ying was embarrassed by the look, and lowered her head, wondering if the emperor's uncle would agree.

After a while, King Xiao finally said, "Why do you think of putting people in my mansion? You can just find a farmyard and replace all the people with your own people? Why do you want to go to my mansion?"

Huo Ying scratched her head and said, "Qing Tianliang said, your mansion is located in the east of the city. It's in a relatively remote and quiet location, with your dark guards watching over it. The public security is relatively good, and it's not easy to disturb others. I think, You are also racing against time to do things now, and I am being watched by the children of the aristocratic family. If you want to buy a house without anyone noticing, it will definitely take some time and energy. It is better to borrow your ready-made things, and everyone can save trouble."

Xiao Wang stood up, walked in front of Huo Ying with a strange expression, turned left three times around him, turned right three times, bent over with his hands behind his back, and said in surprise, "You thought of this yourself?"

Huo Ying was dumbfounded by King Xiao's question, and nodded subconsciously: "Ah, um."

Xiao Wang was surprised: "How did you get enlightened?" Good guy, it's not the students who can't do it, but the teacher who can't do it?

Huo Ying understood that King Xiao was praising him for his progress, but he was not happy at all, and even felt like he was being teased. He lowered his head naively and said, "Uncle Huang, don't make fun of me. I'll go first."

Xiao Wang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Go, it's getting more and more decent."

Huo Ying went out with embarrassment, went to find Qing Tianliang, and told him what happened in Zhengyang today.

Qing Tianliang handed him an apple, Huo Ying shook her head: "Thank you, I don't eat apples."

Qing Tianliang handed him a banana.

Huo Ying looked at the banana, and really couldn't figure out what was going on with this man. This kind of behavior of giving fruit was only done between him and his friends who were able to play when he was young and ignorant.

Qing Tianliang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you always eat bananas? I heard that you ran around the street all day without even drinking a sip of water. Are you hungry? Fill your stomach first, I have already asked Gong Qingming to get food Now, let’s eat here then.”

Huo Ying was at a loss for words for a while, he and Xiao Wang explained the same content, but Xiao Wang didn't care if he didn't eat, Huo Ying felt a little sad for a while, reached out to take the banana, and asked: "Are you so kind to everyone? "

Qing Tianliang said "ah?", "What's so good?"

"It's just... caring about others." Huo Ying felt that he couldn't say the word caring, it was too hypocritical.

Qing Tianliang also paused. He felt that he just did a very ordinary thing. Usually, when Gong Qingming came back from running errands for him, he would serve tea and water for others, and sometimes he would squeeze Gong Qingming's shoulders and say "hard work." "Now that Huo Ying has done her best to help him so much, it is reasonable for him to treat someone to a meal. Why does Huo Ying seem to be moved?

Huo Ying looked at Qing Tianliang with some embarrassment, Qing Tianliang looked at him, and gradually became embarrassed.

"Well... all friends are like this, isn't it okay?" Qing Tianliang whispered.

Huo Ying looked at him, turned her head, peeled off the banana peel, took a bite, and said, "Do you still remember when you tricked me into taking you into the palace?"

Qing Tianliang nodded, not knowing why he brought this up.

Huo Ying said: "I heard that Huo Yunchao liked you, and you were a loafer, so I wanted to lure you to my side and become mine, so as to add trouble to Huo Yunchao."

Qing Tianliang remembered that at that time Huo Ying spoke blatantly and was very proud, which can be said to be very different from now.

"Ah, that's it..." Qing Tianliang replied in a daze.

Huo Ying said: "I didn't regard you as a person at that time, but now I feel that you seem to be a person."

Ah, this...Qing Tianliang's face is constipated, why do these words sound so weird?
