Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

When the people saw two healthy people fall down, they screamed in fear, and the whole city was in chaos in an instant.

Ying San held his head and found his brother's body among the pile of corpses, then disappeared on the spot.

He didn't notice that in the teahouse at the city gate, there was a man with a gloomy face sitting, staring at Yingba's body.

The moment they left, the man also disappeared from the spot. When the people from the government office arrived at the city gate, there was no trace of the person.

In Beijing, Mr. Meng was drinking tea when he suddenly smelled something and asked, "Is it done?"

"mission completed."

When Mr. Meng heard this, his tone softened and he said, "Okay, go down and have a rest."

"Yes."

From beginning to end, the man in black never showed up in front of Mr. Meng. The only proof that someone had been there was the faint smell of blood.

In the past few days, Xiao Lengyue and his companions had already bypassed the town where the plague was rumored to be and had arrived near the next town.

Xu Yuan looked at the city gate in the distance, then looked at the time, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work these past few days.

How about this, this time, we all go into the city.

If you want to buy something, you should buy more. After passing this town, you will enter the wasteland.

You can walk for a month there and still not come across a town.”

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the people behind him and said, "Guard the city gate. When the afternoon comes, set off for the handover location."

When the other officers heard this, they said happily, "Yes."

Seeing this, Xiao Lengyue came to Song Ye's side and whispered, "Is this desolate land very big?"

Song Ye nodded, "The desolate land is also called the Tomb of the Living Dead.

Rumor has it that once you enter the desolate land, no one can get out."

Hearing this, Xiao Lengyue frowned and said, "So, you don't know either?"

Song Ye shook his head, "I don't know.

When I was young, my father sent people here, but none of them survived, and since then, no one has dared to come in."

After finishing speaking, Song Ye added: "When we really enter the junction of the wasteland, I think there will be no more assassins."

After he finished speaking, seeing that Xiao Lengyue didn’t understand, he explained: “Whether it was the previous emperor or the new emperor, they exiled the prisoners here just to let them die here.

The new emperor sent people to assassinate me because he was afraid that I would escape halfway. Once I passed the border, he would no longer care about me. "

After these words were spoken, Xiao Lengyue became even more curious about this desolate land.

What the original owner knew was similar to what Song Ye knew. After all, the late emperor, the original owner's father, exiled all the criminals who could not be beheaded here.

The only difference between him and Xiao Rende is that those exiled by the previous emperor were all corrupt officials who had committed heinous crimes.

Xiao Rende, on the other hand, exiled here all the people who made him unhappy.

After Xu Yuan greeted the gatekeepers, he let the people in.

Before they set off, he said, "You are free to choose the rest of the way."

Without waiting for anyone to ask, he said, "That is to say, even if you want to take a carriage or a sedan chair, you can do so."

After saying this, he looked at Song Ye and said, "If you want to believe me, buy more water."

Everyone thought they had heard it wrong and asked in confusion: "Master Xu, did you just say water?"

But Xu Yuan had already turned around and left. If it weren't for the fact that the prisoner was Song Ye, he would not have told them.

After watching Xu Yuan leave, the official at the city gate said impatiently, "Go buy things quickly. Gather here at 3 p.m. If anyone is late, don't blame us."

After saying that, the official left and headed towards the teahouse, and two people were posted to guard the city gate.

Song Ye was a little confused when he saw this scene, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he looked at Old Lady Song and said, "Mom, you and Tianrui stay here to watch the luggage.

Sister-in-law, you are responsible for buying water, the more the better.

Yue'er, you are responsible for buying food and medicinal herbs, I will go buy a mule cart and buy some other things by the way."

After hearing this, everyone nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Seeing that Sister-in-law Song was about to leave, Xiao Lengyue said, "Sister-in-law, if it's hard to fill the bucket with water, buy some more water bags."

Mrs. Song understood immediately and nodded, "Okay, I'll remember that."

So, they divided into three groups and started buying. Seeing this, other families also quickly made arrangements.

When they entered the town, they froze in place.

Looking at the things sold on the street, everyone's heart sank a little.

All you see are small stalls selling water, and very few selling other things.

Song Ye looked at the stall and realized something. He looked at everyone and said, "Buy more water. The wasteland may be worse than we thought."

Zhao Yong nodded to Sun Eryong and left with their men.

Song Ye glanced at Sister Song and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to buy a mule cart. You go buy a water bag first and wait for me here."

Mrs. Song nodded and went to the water store to ask where she could buy a water bag.

Seeing that Song Ye was about to speak, Xiao Lengyue said, "I'll go see what else they sell besides water."

Song Ye nodded, and after she left, he asked someone where the mules were sold and walked in that direction.

Xiao Lengyue walked forward and found that there were stalls selling water everywhere. After observing for a while, she came to the best teahouse.

After ordering a pot of tea and melon seeds, he saw the waiter coming up quickly and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The waiter couldn't help but look at such a beautiful woman a few more times.

Xiao Lengyue took out five taels of silver from her bosom and placed them on the table. She looked at the waiter and said, "I want to ask the shopkeeper about something. Does the shopkeeper have time?"

When the waiter heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Miss, please wait a moment. I will go find the shopkeeper right away."

After saying that, Xiao Lengyue saw the waiter running towards the backyard. After a while, a man dressed in relatively wealthy clothes came out.

When he saw Xiao Lengyue's appearance, his steps stopped instantly.

Seeing the shopkeeper's expression, the waiter whispered, "Shopkeeper, wake up."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly came back to his senses, came to Xiao Lengyue and asked, "I heard from the waiter that the young lady wants to inquire about something.

What do you want to know, young lady?"

Xiao Lengyue took out five taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, "I want to ask the shopkeeper where I can buy food and medicinal herbs?"

After that, he explained, "The streets are full of stalls selling water. I really don't know where to buy these things, so I can only ask the shopkeeper so that I can buy some things."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the waiter and said, "Take the young lady over directly."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Lengyue and explained, “The place where those things are sold is not here, the waiter will take the young lady there directly.

However, after the matter is completed, Miss needs to give him some hard work fee."
