Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines
Chapter 192 Winter
The wind is cold and the snow is flying. It is the coldest, wettest and most unbearable time of the year.
How can a pair of straw sandals resist the cold winter?
Anyway, Miss Xia couldn't imagine how cold she would be if she were to wear only a pair of straw sandals in such weather.
And she remembered that the 12 great heroes had cotton shoes last time?
The Yanyu Sect was engaged in murderous business. After more than a hundred years of being active in the martial arts world, its savings were astonishing. The sect leader gave him all the cash, banknotes, and land deeds.
In addition, he had obtained the order of the leader, and with his unrivaled reputation and the support of Yanyumen, he had become the new leader of the Wulin Alliance. The savings of the Wulin Alliance were also not a small amount.
This is not the outfit I should wear.
Xia Shi remembered that the last time he saw him, he already had a cotton coat, cotton shoes, and a scabbard for his beloved sword.
He is dressed in a handsome and elegant manner, with the demeanor of a chivalrous man, very much like a newly appointed leader of the martial arts world.
Of course, it doesn't mean that he is no longer a hero or a leader. After all, the name of the hero Shiliang is well-known in the martial arts world.
But the sight of him squatting alone in the cold wind wearing linen clothes and straw sandals was really... well, don't judge others casually.
Ten taels: "Give it to the people. It's too cold in winter and the hungry people can't stand it."
The image of the hero instantly became taller. Xia Shi got off his horse and bowed earnestly, "Twelve Great Heroes."
The hero: "Just ask me for ten taels. Let's go to Zhongzhou to provide disaster relief. Get on the horse."
After he said that, he led a skinny horse that was eating grass nearby, jumped on it, ran out first, and headed south along the official road that was full of merchants, leaving a trail of dust behind.
Xia Shi was chasing after him, eating dirt and smoking, and shouted, "Where's your horse? The divine horse that the leader gave you."
Ten Liang: "Sold it."
Xia Shi: "Where's your money?"
Ten Liang: "Buy food."
Xia Shi: "Where is the food?"
Shi Liang: "It's all over the road."
∑(O_O;)
The road to Huai'an was lined with caravans transporting grain, stretching for miles, with no end in sight. Unexpectedly, all of them were bought by him.
No wonder the boss couldn't buy food. It turned out that in addition to the Huai'an Palace hoarding 90% of the food, there was also a gang of underworld forces that suddenly emerged and were collecting food. This gang of underworld forces was the Wulin Alliance.
The boss didn't argue with the Wulin Alliance because he believed that Shi Liang would definitely use the grain for disaster relief?
Shi Liang asked Xia Shi: "Miss Xia, where are your people?"
The Yanyu Sect, which is feared by the entire martial arts world, has countless masters and its power should not be underestimated. In a nutshell, whoever possesses it will have the ability to conquer the world.
Someone with such power should never dare to enter the world of martial arts with only one servant.
Xia Shi: "I'll give those people from Yanyumen to the boss."
If they follow her, they will definitely not be able to engage in the business of killing people. Miss Xia's company does not have this business, and she is not the human resources department, so she has no recruitment function. And they can't do the errands of ordinary workshops in Xishui Village. There are hidden dangers wherever they are placed. There are thousands of mouths to feed, and they look like they will lose money if they change their careers, so they might as well let the boss manage them.
The boss was very happy to receive it.
"Ah...?" The hero Shiliang was quite shocked. This was the first time he saw someone in the world who was willing to give up power.
He looks at Xia Shi, and Xia Shi looks at him.
The rich and powerful person ten days ago has returned to basics, his money and her being are gone.
“Hahahahahahahaha…young lady, you are so free and easy.” Shidaliang laughed and praised, “How many people have risked their lives for the position of the leader of Yanyu Sect. I have been in the martial arts world for decades, but this is the first time I have seen someone so free and easy. I will buy the wine for dinner tonight.”
The wind was very strong, and the sound of the wind whistled in my ears. Xia Shi shouted, "Do you have any money left?"
Ten taels: "My scabbard is still worth some silver."
We galloped over a hundred miles a day and entered the territory of Zhongzhou at night.
Different from the prosperity of Huai'an,
Once you leave the mountains of Huaizhou and enter the thousands of miles of flat plains of Zhongzhou, you will see a gradual desolation.
There is neither the thousands of miles of ice in the north nor the lush greenery and rain in Huai'an.
some……
Nothing.
The land gradually became desolate, with no grass growing on it.
There was no grass, no trees, not even any bark, only a group of black crows standing on the bare branches.
There were dried-up rivers, cracked land, and a few shriveled corpses scattered in the dilapidated village behind the graves.
We didn't have any drinks that night because there was no restaurant.
It was desolate everywhere, and nine out of ten houses were empty.
Shi Liang said, "If we want to distribute porridge, we have to go to a larger county town, because most people fleeing famine go to wealthy areas, and the victims should gather there. And this place..." He looked around and said, "There is not even firewood to cook porridge."
We slept outdoors that night.
We continued our journey early the next morning and arrived at the county town at sunset to distribute porridge.
They ran too fast, and there were few food carts to keep up. They only built a porridge shed, and the victims squeezed and huddled together.
On this day, Miss Xia witnessed the sufferings of the world with her own eyes. The misery was too tragic to describe in words. With a heavy heart, she lowered her head and served the porridge.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot from a distance, hitting her neck.
Before the pendant on his collar lit up, Shiliang grabbed the arrow and threw it back.
"what!"
In the distance, a young man dressed as a refugee screamed in pain and flew backwards, falling into the crowd.
"Ah, murder!"
"Run!"
The people screamed and fled in all directions, revealing a dozen young and strong men hiding in the crowd. They drew the long swords at their waists and slashed at Xia Shi.
Miss Xia: When did I offend someone? How come I don’t know?
When she raised her hand, a faint light flashed on her chest. The sparse light was like the reflection of the sun in the sky on the gem on her chest. It flashed and quickly flowed to her hands and feet. She raised her leg and kicked at the nearest killer.
Shi Liang also drew his sword and rushed towards the assassin, his sword drawing blood: "Tell me, who sent you here?"
The killers were speechless and just kept on hacking and killing.
"Protect the girl!" Xi Yan's martial arts skills are not very high, but he can still restrain the two of them.
The people who were helping to distribute porridge in the caravan saw the assassins surrounding the three people and Xi Yan calling for help, so they all came over with their weapons and things to help: "Do you think our Wulin League caravan is a vegetarian?"
After a few rounds,
Two of the killers were killed or injured, five escaped, and three were captured alive.
Shi Liang: "Forget it, don't chase after a desperate enemy!"
The three people who were captured alive were tied up and thrown to the ground. Xi Yan asked: "You are well-trained in the moves of the masters of Kyoto Ouchi. You are the Black Armor Guards."
The black-armored guard whose identity was revealed: "..." Humph, I finally waited for Xia Shi to go out alone, but I didn't expect that there were people from the Wulin Alliance following him. It's a pity that I have to obey the commander's orders. I have to carry out the order even though I know it means death. My life is over.
Shi Liang: "Why did you assassinate Miss Xia?"
Black Armor Guard: "Bah, a lackey of the remnants of the previous dynasty."
Xia Shi: "You are the running dog, bah, bah!" He would never suffer any loss and would curse back.
Xi Yan: "Who do you say is a running dog? This is our Lord Xia who has done the meritorious service in saving the emperor. You are the running dogs of the thief prime minister and the traitors who have stolen the country. Your Highness is the crown prince who has received an imperial edict drafted by Emperor Renzong and announced to the heaven, earth and ancestors...%¥! (*&%……¥..." Xi Yan cursed back, using one sentence to retort several sentences and kicked him a few times.
Xia Shi straightened his wrinkled collar and found Shi Liang who was sitting on the ground wiping his sword. He said to him, "Thank you for saving me, my hero."
Any fight involves risking one's life, and he didn't have any high technology, but he risked his own life to save himself, so he deserves gratitude no matter what.
"I didn't know someone was chasing me?"
"It's quite dangerous to work for my prince."
"Thank goodness you caught the arrow, otherwise my neck would have been pierced..."
"Hero?"
"Why are not you talking."
Xia Shi turned to him and squatted down to look at him, only to find that his face was blue, his palms were black, and he could no longer speak.
"Are you poisoned? That arrow is poisonous. Quick, Thunderfire!"
