Under the banner of the Prince's Palace, the gatekeepers and soldiers dared to stop them, and the group of people left the city smoothly.
In years of great calamity, the outside of the city is even more unsightly than the inside.
Everywhere you look is desolate, with bones everywhere.
Zhao Yunshu sat in the carriage, raised the curtain, and couldn't help but tremble all over as he looked at the tragic scene in the wild.
Without the escort of Wang Changliang and others, she would rather starve to death in Xi'an City than come out on her own.
"The army has set off."
Someone shouted, causing everyone to turn their heads and look.
At another city gate in the north, flags were fluttering and people were flowing like dragons, heading east in a mighty manner.
All the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty in Xi'an also came out and stood outside the city gate to see off the army.
One of them, although riding on a horse, was wearing a bright red official robe.
It looks both nondescript and heroic at the same time.
"That's Sun Chuanting."
Wang Changliang sighed repeatedly from his seat as a driver, with a pitiful tone in his tone.
Zhao Yunshu didn't know how to march and fight, but he didn't know why. Looking at the meandering Ming army, he always felt lifeless.
"I heard that Governor Sun was defeated in Henan before. Do you have any chance of winning if we go back this time?"
Wang Changliang told the truth.
"There is absolutely no chance of winning, and Sun Chuanting is in danger."
Zhao Yunshu couldn't help but feel worried.
"If Governor Sun loses the battle, will the intruders come back to Shaanxi?"
Wang Changliang had already started the carriage, and the group walked on another road.
They will go southeast, enter Henan via Wuguan and other places, and find their way back to Shandong. It has nothing to do with Tongguan where the Ming army left before, so it will not be affected.
"Once Sun Chuanting loses, not to mention Shaanxi, the entire Ming Dynasty will be finished."
Zhao Yunshu hugged her son tightly, her face neither sad nor happy.
She is just a weak woman. No matter what the world, it is not her turn to say or do anything.
And based on what she has seen and heard over the years and her own experiences, it would be better for the Ming Dynasty to die.
Zhao Yunshu also knew that the world was in turmoil, so when he embarked on the journey, he was already mentally prepared, feeling that he would definitely experience hardships along the way.
But what she didn't expect was that the journey was uneventful and she didn't encounter any accidents.
That night, the team arrived outside Shangzhou City.
Didn't enter the city.
Under Wang Changliang's command, the group turned left and right, bypassing strange roads, and unexpectedly found a remote place.
What made Zhao Yunshu even more curious was that there were actually people waiting in such a place, and accommodation and food had been prepared for them.
"Our Xia State Intelligence Department has already gone deep into all parts of the world, and we are providing every possible support and assistance during any operation. Apart from the hard work of traveling, there is no danger."
Zhao Yunshu looked carefully and found that everyone had very peaceful expressions, as if they were accustomed to this kind of situation.
Inexplicably, because of a small thing, she felt the power of Xia Kingdom.
Not long after, the food was brought out, and it was fragrant and mouth-watering.
Zhao Yunshu looked closely and found that what Wang Changliang brought was actually two iron boxes.
The food in the box surprised her even more.
In this kind of wilderness, you can actually eat noodles.
Moreover, the appearance of the noodles is very strange. Now they are soaked in the red soup, with a sweet and sour aroma that I have never smelled before.
"How can a poor person from a slave family and a humble body allow Mr. Wang to spend so much money?"
Seeing that she was actually embarrassed, Wang Changliang laughed loudly.
"Don't think too much, this kind of food is common in our Xia country, and it is only used to satisfy the hunger when we have no choice. It feels fresh if you eat it occasionally, but once you eat too much, it will be miserable!"
While talking, he placed two more boxes on the table.
This time Zhao Yunshu was even more confused.
Because she saw that the items in these two boxes were actually meat and fish.
Large chunks of braised pork are stewed to a pulp, and the red soup is thick and bright, fat but not greasy, and shimmering with an attractive oily sheen.
I don’t know what kind of fish it is. The pieces are flat and square, and the soup is similar to braised pork.
At this time, we can't even eat food, let alone meat.
This kind of food is something I would never dare to think about even in my dreams.
In the end, Wang Changliang said that it was just something he had to feed himself...
Although Zhao Yunshu was hungry, he did not eat first, but took care of his son.
The child was ignorant and naive and knew nothing. As soon as he took a bite of noodles, he screamed happily.
"Mom, it's delicious, I want more."
The little guy hasn't eaten anything good since he was born. Now it's instant noodles, braised pork, and braised hairtail, and he immediately transformed into a pig, and he couldn't stop talking.
It was Zhao Yunshu who saw that his stomach was bulging after eating and forcibly stopped him, otherwise he would have been injured.
After letting his son go and play, Zhao Yunshu started to eat.
The taste entered her mouth, making her a little confused even as an adult.
"This kind of delicacy is rare in the world, why does Mr. Wang say it is just for food?"
Wang Changliang washed the lunch box himself and smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"In our Xia country, these things are called emergency foods. They are emergency foods because they are easy to cook and eat. For example, the braised pork and braised hairtail are all prepared in the factory in advance and packed in iron boxes.
Sealed, it can be stored for about a year and a half. When walking in the wild or marching and fighting, I only eat these things when I don't have time to cook slowly. As long as I have time, no one touches them at all."
Zhao Yunshu was stunned when he heard this.
Is there a place in this world where I don’t even want to eat meat and fish?
During the subsequent journey, it was as Wang Changliang said, although it was hard but very peaceful.
With various arrangements, the group of people passed through Henan smoothly, and Shandong finally appeared in front of them.
Zhao Yunshu saw an unforgettable miracle.
Countless people came from all directions, all walking towards the east.
I don’t know how many people there were, men, women, old and young mixed together.
Without exception, these people all had haggard faces and staggered steps. They looked like poor people who had been hungry for a long time.
The land due east seems to be blocked by something. It is boundless and cannot be climbed.
Behind those barriers, countless people could be seen waiting in formation.
Those people were very strange. They were all wrapped up tightly and held muskets in their hands. They looked very scary.
No matter how many people come, they can only rush to a limited number of entrances.
And it's even messier there.
Just as Wang Changliang and his group were moving forward, a gunshot was suddenly heard from the entrance.
The noisy crowd was all startled, and many people lay on the ground in fear.
The scene fell silent.
Then I saw a man who was also wrapped up tightly and jumped onto a table, holding a metal guy in his hand.
"Everyone lines up on their own. No fighting or jumping in line is allowed. Anyone who dares to mess up will be punished on the spot."
The fierce gunshots and stern warnings were very effective, and the flow of people suddenly became orderly.
