Yu Yalan and Song Xi are both people who stick to their word. Once they make a decision, they will act immediately.

That night, he sent a secret message to Feng Yu, informing him that Song Xi was about to leave for Xiliang.

This is their first confrontation with the Duke of Lu. Although the arrest target is actually Xiang Rui and the others, the entire Xiliang mansion is now controlled by the Duke of Lu. It is difficult for Song Xi to enter and exit freely.

Prepare your luggage and prepare enough elixirs, cooked food and clothing in excess. The golden scale armor must never leave your body, and the Longyuan Spirit Sword must be carried with you.

Yu Yalan is like a worried and virtuous wife, nagging worriedly while preparing travel supplies for her future husband.

Although Song Xi had had several similar experiences before, she couldn't help but worry every time she traveled. She always checked her equipment and supplies again and again for fear of missing something key.

Song Xi knew that she was anxious and anxious, and felt distressed when he saw her busy. In order to calm down her sweetheart, he decided to have an in-depth communication with her at night.

When you are tired from communicating, just calm down and fall asleep, and the random thoughts during the day will naturally cease to exist.

Yu Yalan was reluctant to leave him, and she was always very obedient when they were separated. She was willing to try her best to meet any request, which made Song Xi almost lose control and cross the line.

Two days later, Song Xi and others secretly left Yanzhou.

The group disguised themselves as miserable refugees and quietly headed towards Xiliang, avoiding official roads.

The effect of Huan Yan Dan is very miraculous, transforming a group of healthy and strong men into skinny and skinny appearances. The appearance, age and gender can be completely transformed, but the lasting effect only lasts for three hours.

The white wolf also transformed into a black snake, coiling around Song Xi's wrist inconspicuously. This type of technique consumes more spiritual energy, so this plan must be completed quickly.

More than 20 people rushed forward, trying to stay away from the crowds and choose a shortcut. The journey that was supposed to take half a month was forced to arrive within seven days.

As soon as they entered Xiliang, they felt a different atmosphere. This place was much more desolate than Qinxi. From time to time, they would see hungry corpses and bones on the roadside. The miserable situation was unbearable to look at.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh and lament, and they were even more grateful for Yu Yalan's dedication. If the mistress hadn't been so powerful, how much better would their fate be than the people of Longxi?

The sadness of spring and autumn was just a momentary emotion. After seeing the guards guarding the city, they began to be on guard.

After discussion, we decided to sneak in secretly. If we took the right way into the city, we might become a "food hoard" for the border troops.

Song Xi sent people to investigate the area and finally found a loophole to enter the city. Taking advantage of the lack of defense at night, they carefully sneaked into the city.

Feng Yu and others had already made preparations for the response, and they met Song Xi smoothly not long after. When they returned to the guard's station, they also met Xiong Jianlin, who had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Hahaha! Good boy, you are indeed still alive! Old Xiong did not misjudge you, you are the most cunning one in the Song family!"

Xiong Jianlin came up to him with excitement on his face, and slapped Song Xi's shoulder with his rough palm. As his name suggests, this guy was as tall and strong as a bear, and he could slap a live chicken to death with the force of his greeting.

Song Xi also felt very friendly when seeing him, and his handsome face revealed a cheerful smile.

Xiong Jianlin had often been in and out of the Song family before, and had followed his father for more than twenty years. Song's father was both his teacher and friend, and the two families had always had a very deep friendship.

"Uncle Xiong, long time no see! You are still as energetic as ever, but your body seems a little thinner than before."

Song Xi secretly thought that it might be because of the lack of food in Longxi. According to Uncle Xiong's temperament, he was probably unwilling to cannibalism. He just wanted to survive when there was a long-term food shortage. Eating a full meal naturally became a luxury.

"Yeah! There isn't even half a grain of food in this damn place! If you're hungry, you can only go into the woods to hunt. After eating the birds and animals, you have to tighten your belt. If you hadn't snatched the Tatar's war horse a few days ago, I'm afraid

I'd be starving to death now!"

As he said that, he glanced at Feng Yu again, grinned and said with a big smile: "You have the ability! You can get food in the year of great disaster. Uncle Xiong has been coming here to get food recently, otherwise it would be really difficult.

You will have to go without food and wait to die!"

Upon hearing this, Song Xi immediately ordered people to serve good wine and food, and pulled Xiong Jianlin with him towards the main room.

"Then Uncle Xiong will stay and have dinner with us today. I have brought enough food from Qinxi. You are welcome to eat as much as you want!"

Yu Yalan prepared two storage rings of food for them, which can be eaten by thousands of people for three months. Most of them are ready-made cooked food, which still looks like it is freshly cooked when taken out.

Xiong Jianlin was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would be able to enjoy a fine meal and wine during today's trip. In fact, he was satisfied as long as he had porridge and side dishes, and he didn't dare to expect anything better.

Dao Hong was in charge of another storage ring. After getting the order, he pulled Feng Yu into the kitchen, but in a short while, more than a dozen dishes were brought out, which shocked Xiong Jianlin.

"You are a promising person now! You are more prosperous than Uncle Xiong! Our uncle and nephew won't use those polite words for a single time. Let's eat first as a token of respect!"

Xiong Jianlin was stunned for a while and then immediately began to feast. He wolfed down the food as if he hadn't eaten in several lifetimes. There were tears in his round eyes. He didn't know whether he was too moved or because he was feeling sad.

Song Xi was also a little sad when he saw this. He knew that Uncle Xiong must have thought of the current situation in Xiliang.

The soldiers who were supposed to protect the people lost their humanity and treated the people they were protecting as food; the people who were supposed to live a normal life have lost their original appearance, turning this ordinary world into a horrific purgatory.

How sad, how deplorable!

"Uncle Xiong, don't worry, just eat slowly. There is still food, and life will gradually get better."

Xiong Jianlin raised his sleeves and wiped his red eyes, his powerful voice a little choked.

"Is there any hope of getting better? They are all starting to kill each other! The imperial court also doesn't care about the northwest. I don't know who I am defending the city for every day! I think it is for the emperor, but he

If you don't support us with food and grass, you might say it's for the sake of the people of Zhou Dynasty. Look, there are only some lonely ghosts left! I..."

Xiong Jianlin grabbed the wine bowl and drank it down heroically, letting the clear yellow soup burn his esophagus and tongue. He could no longer say the next words, and his dark face was full of pain and hesitation.

Song Xi patted him on the shoulder, wanting to comfort him but unable to say anything. He only learned about Xiliang's plight from paper, and seeing it with his own eyes was not as tragic as Xiong Jianlin's experience.
