"What did you say?!"
Su Xian jumped up from the recliner and followed the voice. It turned out that he was an official in the princess's palace. His position was "Prince Friend". From the fifth rank, he was in charge of accompanying people when traveling and observing morality.
Su Xian's personal relationship with Wang You was not close, so why did he come to the Su Mansion to inform him of the news?
Probably because Zhou Ji's office went to the disaster area in the south, otherwise he should have come to Su Xian.
Without thinking too much, Su Xian left everyone behind and rushed forward, asking in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? What about lack of food? Why don't you have a grain of food left?"
Wang You saw Su Xian's displeasure and winked at him, knowing in his heart that Su Xian mistakenly thought that he had made a mistake and actually shouted out Daliang Xushi in front of so many people.
"Now the whole city is spreading the news, from Shendu to Hebei Road, to Longyou Road, etc., that Hanjiacang City was burned to ashes!"
Wang You didn't care to say anything more and said directly: "The princess has summoned you urgently. Su Shenyi, come with me to the camp quickly!"
Su Xian's heart sank. Although Wang You was not close to him personally, he was still loyal to Li Youqing. He couldn't talk nonsense, so...
Without having time to warn Liu Huixiang and the others, Su Xian and Wang You left the city directly and rushed to the marching camp ten miles away, accompanied by Yan Dashan and Yang Zhilan.

After they left, everyone in the garden couldn't help but look at each other.
"What did that person just say?" Tang Shujing asked.
Her question went unanswered.
Soon, she escorted Tang Shuwan back to her home and heard about it on the way.
Sure enough, the entire Liang Dynasty was short of food. Although it was not as exaggerated as the rumors, there was at least a month's gap before the next food harvest.
In the entire Liang Dynasty, there were so many officials, so many soldiers, and so many people who did not farm. So many people would be short of food for a month, and the world would definitely be in chaos!
"It's really a disaster!"
After Tang Shujing escorted Tang Shuwan back to her home, she immediately went to the Yamen to find Tang Ju.
There are crazy rumors everywhere in Yingzhou City now, and it is very easy for chaos to happen. As the future No. 1 goddess in the world, she cannot sit idly by.
"May the world be peaceful!" Tang Shuwan prayed silently.
"Husband, you must pay attention to your safety..." After Liu Huixiang heard about the food shortage, she came to the ancestral hall to offer incense silently.
"The entire Liang Dynasty is short of food? And it has spread throughout the country? Haha, it seems this is a conspiracy..." Chen Keyan secretly sneered after learning about the matter through her own channels.
"..."
On the official road from Yingzhou City to the marching camp in the north of the city.
A carriage was speeding along.
In the carriage, Su Xian, Wang You, Yan Dashan, and Yang Zhilan were sitting. In fact, only Su Xian and Wang You got on the carriage at first, so that Su Xian could learn more about the situation in the carriage.
After all, Yan Dashan was concerned about national affairs, so he shamelessly got into the car and prepared to go over the details together.
For some reason, Yang Zhilan got into a fight with Yan Dashan again. When she saw Yan Dashan getting on the bus, she stepped in quietly and sat next to Su Xian.
Su Xian had no time to pay attention to the two of them. He looked at Wang You and asked in a deep voice: "Shouldn't such an important matter be strictly guarded? Why did it become known to others and spread throughout the world?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the side curtain of the carriage. There were people talking about this matter in any street. People were worried, sighing, and despairing about the future.
Wang You shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation. I only have a vague feeling that this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against me, Daliang!"
"Conspiracy..." Su Xian fell into deep thought.
"Who is targeting Daliang?" Yan Dashan couldn't sit still. Looking at the panicked people on the street outside the carriage, his thick eyebrows connected directly.
Yang Zhilan didn't say anything. She was as calm as ever, so calm that she was indifferent. She didn't really care about the national food shortage. She just looked at Su Xian's profile.
"broken!"
Su Xian suddenly exclaimed and said: "The negotiation between Wang Sima and Prince Nantu will come to an end in these two days. Once the food shortage is known to the Liao people..."
Wang You sighed heavily and said:
"It's already too late! When the Prince of Nantu learned that I was short of food in Daliang, he immediately stopped the negotiation and said that the Liao Emperor was dissatisfied with the ransom..."
"Before I left the camp to come to Su for consultation, I heard that Prince Nantu had set up a wrestling ring in front of his tent. If he wanted to see him, he would have to win against the wrestlers from Liao."
"..."
"Wrestling?" Yan Dashan's eyes lit up and he said, "While I was undercover in the Liao Kingdom, I also learned how to wrestle. Even in the Liao Kingdom, I could be among the top three!"
Su Xian was a little stunned, looked at Yan Dashan and said, "So powerful!"
Yan Dashan smiled honestly and said: "Ashamedly, in terms of wrestling alone, I still can't compare to the number one wrestler in the Liao Kingdom."
"Just go to Versailles!"
"What game?"
"..."
Su Xian shook his head and ignored him. Shen Mei began to analyze the impact of this matter——
Daliang's fatal weakness was exposed, that person's purpose must not be simple!
In the north, the Liao Kingdom has always been watching. After they learned of Daliang's fatal weakness, it was a small matter to interrupt the negotiations. If some "Liang-destroying faction" took the opportunity to encourage the Liao army to go south and invade the border, that would be a real disaster!
In the south, Daliang is adjacent to Nanchen and Nanchu. These two countries may also take advantage of the situation.
To the west, Emperor Shu is obsessed with pleasure all day long, so he probably won't cause any trouble, but west of Longyou Road, in the vast Western Region, the Liang Dynasty may not be able to control it...
The biggest threat has always been the Liao Kingdom in the north.
If the worst happens, the world will be in chaos!
Thinking of this, Su Xian's face completely darkened. His long-term efforts were to prevent war and turmoil from happening, but this time... will it be unavoidable?
"I can't get into chaos on my own first. Calm down, calm down. There must be a solution..." Su Xian murmured to himself, forcing himself to calm down.
He is no longer the little scholar who relied on stinky tofu to earn a little money.
Especially after the Youzhou War, his mind has become much calmer...
…
The distance of ten miles is not long at all. Before Su Xian could figure it out, the carriage stopped and the driver shouted: "We're here!"
Everyone got off the car and went straight to the camp gate.
"Your Highness is at the Chinese army's tent!" A lieutenant was waiting here to give Su Xian a message.
Su Xian nodded and led everyone straight to the tent.
After taking only two steps, he suddenly saw a familiar person appearing in front of him. He had gray hair and beard and an ugly face. He kept shaking his head. Who could it be if it wasn't Wang Sima?
Behind Wang Sima, someone was carrying two stretchers, on which lay two strong soldiers. Their hands were bent backwards irregularly, and they were obviously broken.
The same goes for their legs, which are bent at an exaggerated angle and have obviously broken bones and tendons.
"Wang Sima!" Su Xian came forward, pointed to the stretcher and asked, "What happened to them?"
"Those who were injured by Liao wrestlers, the imperial doctor said they were completely disabled..." Wang Sima's voice was heavy.
