Married a scholar

▍It must be the emotion of the original owner that affected him.

Tai'an City is not far from the real border city, but it seems to be far away from the cruelty of war. Even though the temperature is dry and cold, there are still people coming and going in the shops on the street, and there are not many people picking goods at the stalls.There was no worry on everyone's faces because of the war and disasters. If it weren't for the cruelty of natural disasters he saw along the way, he would have thought that the world was peaceful.

Meng Yining and Xia Wenze walked around and bought a lot of things, such as spices, felt blankets, furs and so on.These things are much cheaper than what they bought before.

"The medicinal materials here are so expensive." Meng Yining frowned slightly, and said softly, "The price of food is also quite high."

Xia Wenze nodded, with a rare seriousness in his eyes. Medicinal materials and food are necessary for war. If it is due to the disaster, it should only be the price of food that has risen, but right now even the price of medicinal materials has doubled, "It seems , There will be a big battle at the border this winter."

Meng Yining also guessed like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little rejoicing, "Fortunately, we bought a lot of medicinal materials." Although their carriages did not increase, the weight of each carriage has increased.

When He Fangliang was asked to build the carriage, he built it to be strong. He didn't buy any grains along the way. He had potatoes, so he didn't think about other grains that accounted for the weight. Instead, he bought medicinal materials along the way. Quite a few, and he and Xia Wenze dug in the forest on the path.

Of course, they also dumped tea and cloth in the middle, but these are sold after passing through a city, and they won't take them too far.Although he knew that the price would be higher if he took it all the way to the border, but he was not short of money, so there was no need for those things to occupy the position of the carriage.

I am very fortunate at the moment.

"Take a good rest today and leave tomorrow." It's already November, and the real winter is not far away.If the outside of the customs also suffered from drought like they did, the real war would not be far away.

"it is good."

Asking people to deliver the purchased things all the way to the inn where they stayed, Meng Yining called He Fangliang over and said that he would leave tomorrow, "Have a good rest at night, check the carriage, and feed the horses."

"Understood, Young Master Ning." He Fangliang nodded in response, and then went to arrange things.

After a good night's rest, before dawn the next day, Meng Yining and his party rushed to the gate of the city.

I thought they were the first ones, but I didn't expect that there are already several caravans waiting in line to leave the city.

He Fangliang went forward to ask, and came back to Xia Wenze and said in a low voice: "Master, Master Ning, these caravans are specially formed to go together."

"Bandits outside Huanliang City?" Meng Yining raised his eyebrows.

He Fangliang nodded, "Yes, I heard that there are a lot of bandits in that area. If the number of caravans decreases, it is very likely that both people and money will be lost." He Fangliang said this with a serious look in his eyes.

Meng Yining asked: "Didn't the Zhizhou of Yongning City and Tai'an City go to suppress bandits?" He had such doubts when he heard about it earlier. It is right to form a scale.After all, the front is where the frontier is at war with foreigners, and if the rear is unstable, it will easily affect the front of the battle.

He Fangliang frowned and said, "The people in the caravan faltered."

Meng Yining narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's okay, we're not afraid, just follow behind." No matter what happened to those bandits, it had nothing to do with them anyway.

He Fangliang thought of the strength of his two young masters, especially Young Master Ning, and immediately let go of those worries, "Then I'll go down."

"Go." Seeing that Xia Wenze seemed to be deep in thought, Meng Yining didn't disturb him.

The city gate opened, and the caravan in front slowly moved.

Xia Wenze said softly: "Perhaps those bandits are not just as simple as bandits."

"Huh?" Meng Yining looked at him sideways, "How do you say that?"

"Don't Ning'er think that you haven't seen refugees outside Tai'an?" Xia Wenze said, "It shouldn't be. The drought in the border area is even more serious. We can see more or less from time to time along the way. There are even a small number of refugees in some towns, but Ning'er can find that since we approached Tai'an City, we have not seen refugees. The city gate is open, and refugees with nowhere to go should enter the city. right."

But don't say that there are no refugees outside Tai'an City, even inside the city.

Meng Yining was thoughtful, "You mean, those refugees turned into bandits?" So this is the reason why the two cities and even Nan Wang didn't send anyone to suppress the bandits?

"I think the shortage of food at the border may be more serious than we thought." Xia Wenze said in a deep voice.

If this is not the case, as parents and officials, the magistrates of the two cities and the king of the south would never let the refugees fall into bandits. If they let it go, it means that the granary here is in an emergency, or there may be other tricks, but With Nan Wang around, the latter should be ruled out.

That is the grain in the granary here. It cannot cope with so many refugees, so they can only be turned into bandits and rob passing merchants.

Meng Yining and Xia Wenze looked at each other, thinking of the hailstorm at the same time, their hearts sank slightly.

"What's all this?" Meng Yining lamented, why no matter where he was, there was always a shortage of food around him.Whether it's the end of the world or here, he has nothing to do with food.

Xia Wenze stroked his head soothingly, looked forward, his eyes darkened slightly.

Just when the caravan came to a section of road with cliffs on both sides, a group of people suddenly rushed down from the mountains on both sides. The number of people was at least double the number of these caravans, which seemed a bit bluffing.

Meng Yining stood on the top of the carriage and looked forward, frowning slightly. The group of people were dressed in rags, carrying all kinds of agricultural tools, yes, agricultural tools, such as sickles, hoes, axes, and even a long spoon with handle.

All skinny, with no excitement on their faces, just longing and fear.

Meng Yining glanced at the caravan. Except for the merchants, the bodyguards of the caravan are all strong and strong men. Not to mention the high value of force, but how many of them can be beaten by one person? Refugees can definitely do it.

Meng Yining sighed, looked at the mountains on both sides, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Let's go, these people dare not do anything." Xia Wenze's voice was flat.

The facts are indeed as Xia Wenze said. Although the number of their caravans is not as large as these refugees, they are all strong and strong men. It's a death sentence.

After a while, those refugees separated on both sides of the road, and the caravan moved slowly.

Meng Yining glanced at these refugees with dead eyes without emotion, and sighed in his heart.

After that, nothing happened again, and I entered Huanliang City without incident.

Meng Yining and his party did not stay here too long. After resting for the whole night, they continued to move forward.

After half a month, Meng Yining and his party of 53 people finally arrived at Yusha City.

Yusha City is where the Eastern Army Camp is located, guarded by General Yuchi Chong, and the Eastern Army Camp is also known as the Yuchi Army.

Since the founding of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the surname Yuchi has taken root in Yusha City, guarding the peace of this side.

Yuchi Zhong is the grandson of the old Marshal Yuchi. I heard that he is only 27 years old this year, but he has already received the true biography of the old Marshal Yuchi. It was because the Huns were afraid of General Yuchi.

Of course, Meng Yining didn't know any General Yuchi, he only knew that the original owner's elder brother, who was also his elder brother now, was serving under this General Yuchi.

Entering Yusha City, Meng Yining felt a little uneasy. When the original owner's elder brother served in the army, the original owner was only 12 years old. Now he is already. Six years is enough to change many things.

But he was a little worried what if this brother saw something?

Meng Yining lay on the bed tossing and turning, rare insomnia, "I can't sleep, what do you think if my brother finds out that I am not his brother?" Meng Yining turned over, faced Xia Wenze, and expressed his worries Come.

It's unlikely, but what if?

Xia Wenze took him into his arms and gently patted his back to comfort him, "No, no one would think about such gods and ghosts."

"Really?" Meng Yining frowned, "What if he has a big brain?" It's not impossible, although there is no such thing as soul transmigration in this world, there are plots of goblins seizing homes in the scriptures, What if this cheap brother has read such a script?

Xia Wenze's eyes were full of smiles, and he felt that his husband could really think about it. If he hadn't told him that he was not the real Brother Ning, he would only think that it was the resignation of the marriage that changed Brother Ning's temperament drastically. I will think about such unimaginable things.

But now that her husband is in a bad mood, Xia Wenze didn't dare to laugh, but comforted softly: "As long as you don't admit it, brother won't think too much about it. We can tell him some things that happened at home, so that he will think it's these things. Things have changed your temperament."

Meng Yining seemed to be persuaded, and also felt that his worries were a bit unnecessary. Who would think about the matter of soul wear and seizing the house? "The elder brother in memory is a gentle person, I don't know what he has become now?"

A 14-year-old boy is struggling to survive on the battlefield, so his temperament will change somewhat.

Thinking of this, Meng Yining felt sorry for this brother.

Even though he was not very old when he faced the end times, he had his second elder brother by his side to protect him all the time, and later on, his elder brother and sister were always by his side.Never let him face the cruelty of the last days alone.

And this elder brother, who has already entered the battlefield at the age of 14, has no familiar people around him, even if he is from the same village, when facing life and death, it is impossible to protect each other with his life.

A 14-year-old boy has to raise his sword to face an enemy bigger and stronger than himself.

Meng Yining thought so much that his nose was sore, and he choked up in Xia Wenze's arms.

Woo, it has nothing to do with him, it must be the original owner's emotions that affected him.
