You can't say you don't recognize him, but his eyebrows, eyes, facial features and face shape are similar to Miss Feng Liu. How should I put it, he looks like Miss Feng Liu's brother.

"You are……"

He wasn't sure. He saw Miss Six almost every day and had never heard that she had a brother.

Rong Tang felt funny. He didn't even wear makeup, and now even acquaintances didn't dare to recognize him. Was it because he looked too much like a man, or was he a born tomboy?

From Xu Tou's point of view, he was also wronged because he had a deep-rooted belief that Miss Feng Liu was a woman, and the man in front of him, although he had a gentle and handsome appearance, his aura could not deceive people, and he was just a noble young man of a superior position.

"I'm Rong Tang."

It took Xutou a while to remember that this was Princess Hejing's fiancé, Annan Bo Rongtang, who had just separated from her after the marriage.

"You're back from the south?"

Rong Tang nodded in response.

Rong Tang struck up a conversation with him, trying to inquire about the situation in the imperial capital. Xu, believing he wasn't familiar with him, replied indifferently, "Lord Annan will know all this once he enters the city. Actually, if you're smart, it would be better to find a relatively safe place to stay rather than coming back."

Rong Tang tilted his head to listen, and finally said, "But there are important people here!"

Including you, Xu Xiangdong.

However, Xu Tou thought of another possibility. It was said that Earl Annan had proposed to Miss Feng Liu, but due to some coincidence, the two missed each other, and Earl Annan had no choice but to get engaged to Princess Hejing.

So, is the important person that Earl Annan mentioned Miss Fengliu, or Princess Hejing? Or is it both?

He felt annoyed. In his heart, both Miss Feng Liu and Princess He Jing were very good girls, and he had friendships with both of them.

He hoped that both girls would be happy, but their happiness could not be tied to the same person, otherwise it would be very hateful.

Rong Tang didn't know that his old friend was worried about his lifelong event, so he casually asked, "Is porridge only distributed once a day?"

Xutou was not in high spirits and spoke lazily, "Just this once, it was all won by Lord Ma at the cost of his life. If it weren't for the fact that the nobles at the court looked down upon this kind of food, even the refugees wouldn't be able to eat it."

Rong Tang believed this. When he and Xu Tou went to buy food together, they picked the worst, most mixed and unclean-looking ones. Only in this way could they reach the mouths of the victims.

"How much food is left in the city?"

Xutou became very alert.

"What do you want to do? There's not much food left in the city, and so many victims can't hold out for long. If there weren't locusts to catch, many people would have starved to death long ago."

Rong Tang thought to himself that perhaps many people had already starved to death at this time in Nangong Yan's previous life. So, in order to save his own life and the wealth and glory of the rest of his life, he forcibly took away most of the food and wealth of the imperial capital and rushed towards his future.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of Xutou, and Xutou was very wary of him, he could only find another topic to talk about, "Are the dried vegetables in this soup collected from the surrounding area?"

Xu Tou said, "Yes, in spring and summer, we organize the purchase of dried vegetables, exchanging five pounds for one pound. The people actively dry them out to exchange for grain, and we have saved quite a bit. Thanks to these dried vegetables, the porridge can be made a little thicker, so that you can still see your reflection in it."

"What about the meat?"

"Meat?"

Xu Tou had a complicated smile on his face. "You call this meat?"

He picked up a wood frog, boiled it until it was soft and broke it into pieces.

Rong Tang sighed, "Of course this is meat, even if it's small and coarse, it's still meat! Boss Xu, I've also passed by the disaster-stricken areas, dug wild vegetables, caught mice, and even seen..."

eat human!

Xutou's expression improved a bit, and he wasn't so repulsive anymore. "Speaking of which, your Annan Marquis' Mansion has made an invaluable contribution. Did you see that group of people? They're all from your Annan Marquis' Mansion, following the orders of Steward Lu to help the Relief Agency distribute porridge. They usually live in Lingyun Temple, and during the day they go hunting in the mountains and forests to supplement their food."

Rong Tang couldn't close his mouth. His people?

Tou Xu waved for someone to come over, "Wu Da, come here, this is the head of your mansion, the Earl of Annan."

The young man called Wu Da walked over and met Rong Tang's eyes, both of them were stunned.

One was that he didn't expect An Nanbo to be so young and immature, and the other was that he didn't expect the servant bought by Butler Lu to be so heroic, tall and handsome, and more elegant than the black market masters he recruited.

His heart moved, and he raised his hand so that Wu Da could see the obsidian ring on his hand. Wu Da's eyes widened, and he knelt on one knee to salute, "Subordinate Wu Da, I pay my respects to the Lord."

really!

Rong Tang gave him a little help and helped him up. Since he had met his own people, there was no need to argue with Xu Tou unnecessarily. He waved his hand and gestured for him to go into Lingyun Temple to talk.

The ones with Wu Da were Wu Er to Wu Shi, none of them had proper names. After the greetings, Wu Da told them their mission, which was to monitor Marquis Jing'an and Master Feng Si on the orders of the young master.

Wu Ji had mentioned this in her letter to him. She suspected that Marquis Jing'an and Master Feng Si had hidden something in Lingyun Temple, but after searching in vain, she could only place the porridge distribution location here. The Feng brothers were always under the surveillance of millions of eyes, and even if they had a huge secret, they would not dare to move.

"Do these two still meet each other now?"

"At the beginning, Boss Feng came here almost every day, but he seems to have become numb in recent days and doesn't come here often."

"Where's Mr. Feng Si? Didn't he chase you away?"

"He won't rush."

Wu Da said, "He didn't dare to chase them away. Lingyun Temple is the imperial Taoist temple. It became a gathering place for the disaster victims to avoid besieging the imperial capital. If he chased them away, Xu Tou would dare to chop him down."

Rong Tang walked into the temple and looked at the place where Feng Ling was practicing. He was alone, kneeling and worshiping the Three Pure Ones, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After Li Dequan finished vomiting, he was carried in by Rong Shen. Although he was less than fifty years old, he acted like an eighty-year-old. He groaned and said, "I'm dying, Master Rong, please send me back. I want to die in my own home."

Rong Zhan found it funny. Li Dequan was scared and wanted to run away.

"Rong Shen, go get the boss a bowl of porridge. He's hungry."

Li Dequan's large intestine was completely empty from all the vomiting, and he was truly hungry. Seeing that the bowl of porridge Rong Shen brought was his usual one, he assumed it was made by one of his own people, so he didn't suspect anything and waited with his mouth open.

Rong Tang was very good-tempered. He stirred the porridge with a spoon, blew it cool, and fed it to him. The porridge was quite thick and had a medicinal smell when the spoon was attached.

Li Dequan took two bites. The taste was not too bad, but it was a little unpleasant, like biting into sand, making a crunching sound.

I couldn't help but curse: "Who is the blind person who washed the rice? It's not even clean!"

With another bite, he got a small piece of meat. When he spit it out, he saw it was a small claw.

"vomit……"

The sky was dark and the sun and moon were fading. Li Dequan half-deadly accused Rong Tang, "Young Master, don't play tricks on me!"

Then he saw Rong Tang pour the porridge he hadn't finished into another bowl and eat it himself.

Li Dequan was stunned.

Rong Tang finished his porridge in a few mouthfuls and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "Eunuch Li, in this emergency, we cannot waste food. You may think this porridge is not good, but this is the food that the thousands of disaster victims outside rely on to survive. Without it, people will soon starve to death. Have you ever seen anyone starve to death? Have you ever seen someone so hungry that they eat other people?"

Li Dequan felt a lump in his throat.

When Rong Zhan heard this sound, he knew he had to stay away. He called Rong Shen away, leaving Rong Tang alone to speak to Li Dequan, "Eunuch Li, you don't want Your Majesty to regain a kingdom devastated by starvation and countless deaths. We must protect the lives of His Majesty's people, don't you agree?"

Li Dequan opened his mouth and said, "Yes."

"So, be our boss!"
