An Shi said that he couldn't eat it either. He couldn't eat it after only seven days, let alone someone who had been chewing grass roots and bark for more than half a month.
The middle-aged man is named Xu Chuang. He is the village chief of Xujia Village. Because he was a little clever, he made a decisive decision and ran away with the whole village when he rebelled against the king.
When I ran to the south, I realized that the situation here wasn't much better.
Recruitment orders for rebels from all sides are everywhere. Now that the situation is somewhat stable, you can still choose which army to join. When fighting breaks out again in a while, you will have to hide from the strong men.
Now that they have no food to eat, instead of waiting to be captured and used as cannon fodder on the battlefield, they might as well choose a better army to join the army in exchange for some food to keep their families alive.
Xu Chuang sat down next to An Shi and sighed.
"How can we survive in this world today?"
When An Shi heard this, he knew that his little mission was coming.
An Shi moved closer to Xu Chuang and signaled Xu Chuang to come over.
"Brother Xu, haven't you heard about Jingli's prophecy?"
Xu Chuang looked confused, "What kind of prophecy? Is there any way for my brother to escape from the capital?"
An Shi shook his head, "Brother Xu, I'm just a person running for my life. I only believe you because you saved me. I told you, don't tell anyone about this."
Xu Chuang looked serious and urged in a low voice: "Brother, stop being secretive and tell me quickly. Brother, I will definitely not let outsiders know."
"Brother, you have to swear this, otherwise I will harm everyone."
Xu Chuang's curiosity aroused, and he thought An Shizhen had some connections up there.
He immediately swore to the sky that he would never tell anyone else.
An Shi then looked relieved and explained to Xu Chuang what Ziwei Emperor Xing had said about entering the world to end the troubled times. And also polished those "miracles".
After hearing this, Xu Chuang felt that An Shi was teasing him.
"Brother, what you said is amazing, as if you have experienced it yourself. But how can it be true if these are just rumors?"
Anshi, who started the rumor himself, didn't even pause to refute it immediately.
"Brother Xu, you don't believe me when you say that. It has been spread all over Kyoto, and everyone has seen all the miracles with their own eyes.
Maybe it’s a warning from God? It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist. "
An Shi disagreed with Xu Chuang's attitude very much, and sat farther away from Xu Chuang.
Xu Chuang was a little embarrassed to have offended someone. After all, even if the prophecy was true, he wouldn't be able to eat enough if he believed it!
Now that the whole village cannot survive, what use are the miracles?
Xu Chuang sighed deeply when he thought about the current situation.
"Brother, don't blame me. I'm just afraid that I won't survive that time."
An Shi's expression softened slightly and his tone softened.
"Brother Xu, how come I don't know? But now that I can live one day at a time, I must have something to rely on in my heart.
I don’t know when such days will end. "
Xu Chuang also echoed after hearing this, "Yeah, I don't know if I can live the stable life before in this life.
It used to be difficult to live a peaceful life, but now I feel that it is not a bad life. "
Xu Chuang recalled his past life. If the autumn harvest had just passed, he would be eating new rice at home now.
An Ten is a complete chatterbox, and this small task involves dealing with people, so An Ten also enjoys it.
An Wu glanced at An Ten who was getting better and looked back.
Looking up, I saw a golden eagle circling high in the sky.
An Wu glanced at An Ten, then quietly left everyone's sight and walked towards the forest.
Xu Chuang saw An Wu entering the woods from the corner of his eye. Before he could think about it, he was attracted by An Shi's words.
888 flew until his wings were almost broken before he found the two of them chewing on grass roots.
If Tuanzi hadn't injected a little bit of heavenly power into this entity, I'm afraid the bird would have died of exhaustion if Zhao Da did it like this.
Thinking of this, 888 has no choice but to scold Tuanzi again, what a swindler!
An Wu walked deep into the woods and blew a bone whistle tentatively.
The eagles that communicated in the past did not include raptors like golden eagles, so An Wu, who had not received news from An Jiu for almost half a year, was a little unsure.
888 saw An Wu's movements and dived directly in front of An Wu.
Tuo Qiyuan's Fu888 is fully aware of the fact that it is very big.
An Wu saw the golden eagle landing obediently. His eyes glanced at the golden eagle's ankle and he saw the bamboo tube that conveyed the message.
An Wu knelt down and untied the bamboo tube and took out the letter inside.
"Enter the border at the beginning of spring, go north and return to Beijing."
After An Wu read the letter, he stood up with excited eyes, threw the ball of paper into his mouth and swallowed it.
What kind of tasks had Da Da arranged for these two secret guards? They had already gnawed at the roots of grass and couldn't even let go of the paper.
An Wu thought about whether he could trust the refugees organized into the army, and was stunned for a moment when he saw 888's human eyes.
Is this golden eagle pitying him? ?
Seeing that Qi Yuan's order had been conveyed, 888 turned around and flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.
Seeing that winter is coming, His Majesty will return to Beijing at the beginning of spring. Has the border issue been resolved? Lead the border troops back to Beijing to put down the rebellion?
An Wu thought about it and ruled out the border troops. If His Majesty wanted to use border troops, he wouldn't have gone in such a big circle.
Although Lin Li had some prestige among the frontier army, under An Jiadi's suspicion and caution, the frontier army was not Lin Li's favorite.
But now that His Majesty is returning to the capital to quell the rebellion, he and Anshi can also train some trustworthy people in advance to enter the capital and lie dormant.
An Wu returned from the forest and gave An Ten a look.
An Shi patted Xu Chuang on the shoulder, "Brother Xu, please don't say these words to others! My brother is back, I will go there first."
Xu Chuang nodded and continued to think about a way out.
An Shi and An Wu walked aside and avoided Xu Chuang's sight.
"The master ordered us to return to the capital."
An Shi's eyes lit up, "Master is coming back? When? What is our mission?"
Anshi put the grass roots in his pocket and became energetic.
"At the beginning of spring, there are no tasks." An Wu replied in a deep voice.
An Shi frowned slightly, "Kingto is now the sphere of influence of King Xiangyang, don't we have to do nothing when we return to the capital?
For example, push the prophecy a little further? I think some people can still use it. "
An Wu shook his head, "The master's situation is unknown, let's not act rashly yet.
However, we can guide some available people to get closer to Kyoto along the way.
As for entering Beijing, we can consider it in the long run. "
Anshi touched his chin and nodded.
Nowadays, there are many people who rebel against the king from all walks of life, but a balance has been reached between the forces, and the people can barely survive despite the anti-king forces in various places. However, there are also refugees such as Xu Chuang who are hiding in the mountains and forests.
Judging from the situation of Xu Chuang and others, it can be concluded that all the refugees who could escape have reached the south, and those who cannot escape have also settled under the jurisdiction of King Xiangyang.
If they want to enter Kyoto, they have to play it by ear.
