Liao Daqiu looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi excitedly.

"Gentlemen, are you accurate? I mean, I mean, is what you said true? Xiaobao, he, is he still alive?"

Ordinary fortune tellers tell fortunes, and the Liao family just listens to them. Although there will be ups and downs in emotions, they will not be so exaggerated.

But for some reason, what these two big gentlemen said was surprisingly convincing, as if what came out of their mouths was the truth.

So Liao Daqiu's emotions suddenly became agitated, not only him, but also the woman on the kitchen threshold. This feeling seemed not to ask someone to count his fate, but an official sent a letter saying that their eldest son was still alive. as alive.

The youngest son of the Liao family on the threshold looked at his parents at a loss, and pulled Liao's mother's sleeve.

"mother……"

Mother Liao came back to her senses and rubbed her youngest son's face, but still kept an eye on the direction of Lao Liao and the two older gentlemen.

Faced with the excitement of the old couple, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi naturally understood, and the former nodded solemnly again and replied.

"Yes, your eldest son Liao Zhengbao is still alive, we can help you go to the army to find out, maybe we can find your son."

Hearing this, Liao Daqiu stood up all of a sudden, the bowl in his hand almost fell, and the porridge, which is precious to farmers, splashed on the ground.

After his hands were scalded by the white porridge, Liao Daqiu hurriedly put the bowl on the stool, then knelt down in front of Ji Yuan and Chang Yi.

"If the two gentlemen can help us find Xiaobao, I will never forget this kindness in my life, I will never forget it in my life!"

The woman on the threshold of the kitchen over there also put down the bowl, and also ran to Liao Daqiu and knelt down together.

"I beg the two gentlemen to help us find Xiaobao, please the two gentlemen!"

The two even wanted to kowtow, but they were supported by Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, one on the left and one on the right.

"Please hurry up, both of you, we will naturally do our best to help, and there is no need to perform such a big gift."

Lao Liao raised his head and looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi.

"But, how should we repay the two of you? We have no money and power, how should we repay?"

Finding people from the army everywhere and taking them away, even farmers like the Lao Liao couple know that it must cost a lot of money, because I heard that a lawsuit in the county will bring a lot of money before and after, even half a year A while ago, two families from a neighboring village sued the government over a dispute over a horse. In the end, both the loser and the winner had no horses, and they were all sold to the government...

Lao Liao and his wife knew very well that they couldn't afford anything, but could they let the two big gentlemen bear it? Not to mention whether Ji Yuan and Chang Yi would do this, but if they really did, the Liao family's conscience is disturbed, but how could they give up the chance to save their son!

Ji Yuan seemed to have seen through the thoughts of the two couples, after thinking for a while, he pointed to the black jade hairpin on his bun.

"Mr. Chang and I are not short of money or relationship, besides, it is worthwhile to help you."

Looking at Ji Yuan's Mo Yuzan, even if the two couples are not people who know jade, they know that it is definitely worth a lot of money. If this busyness is really easy for Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, then they will feel at ease.

"Well, if you really want to repay, then give Ji a bowl of porridge."

"Hehehe, yes, Chang also wants to add another bowl, and add more pickles. This pickle has a umami taste and is delicious!"

Lao Liao and his wife showed surprise on their faces.

"Okay, I'll give it to the two gentlemen, and I'll give it to the two gentlemen!"

The two couples hurriedly stood up, not caring about their trouser legs, so they took the empty bowls from Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, and hurried to the kitchen to serve porridge, while talking about their own pickles.

"This pickle, we pickled it with cabbage ourselves. It just opened recently. It's the time when it's delicious. It's also delicious to make soup!"

The woman served the porridge, while Lao Liao added vegetables to the two bowls. The faces of the two were full of joy, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down, but the hands kept moving, and they could only wipe them with the sleeves on their arms. tears.

But when they walked out of the kitchen, the tears on the faces of the two had been wiped clean, and they held two bowls of porridge covered with pickles, and carefully sent them to Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, as if they were carrying extremely heavy porridge.

Ji Yuan and Chang Yi looked at each other, the former and the latter nodded slightly, and the latter seemed to be able to see the warmth and warmth of the world from the former's blue eyes.

The two just had breakfast at Liao Daqiu's house, and left Maotan Village ahead of time under the expectant and anxious eyes of the couple, making the old village chief who made a special trip to find Ji Yuan and Chang Yi later jump at him. null.

...

When Ji Yuan and Chang Yi left, they rejected Liao Daqiu's offer of sending them off in a bullock cart, and chose to walk directly, and flew away after leaving the village for a certain distance.

With Liao Zhengbao's information and a wooden sword that Liao Zhengbao played with when he was a child was taken away from the Liao family, it is not difficult for Ji Yuan and Chang Yi to find Liao Zhengbao.

The two flew towards the southeast of Yuanzhao Kingdom with a clear purpose, scanning the land along the way, and found that many farmlands were deserted, and some villages and even towns were empty.

This is very similar to what Ji Yuan saw when he went to the Zuyue Kingdom. Although the domestic situation of the Zuyue Kingdom is extremely poor, as a country that has been able to fight against Dazhen for so many years, it still has some background, and its land area is also large. However, Yuanzhao Kingdom is much smaller. It already has internal and external troubles. This time, the plague has covered one-third of the country. I am afraid that it is really dying.

About an hour and a half later, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi arrived at a barren land in the southeast of Yuanzhao Kingdom. This place was considered a frontier fortress of Yuanzhao Kingdom, but the border city seemed a little dilapidated, and there were no people living in the surrounding area. Although there are some farmlands, they are all planted by the soldiers themselves to alleviate the shortage of military rations.

Of course, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi did not fly directly to the top of the city, but landed in the wilderness outside the city, and then followed the farmland behind, approaching the city a little bit.

"Mr. Ji, then Liao Zhengbao should be in the city. How can we take him away? Why don't we let him sleep and fly back to Maotan Village with him?"

While Chang Yi was walking and asking Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan was watching this frontier fortress city. Looking at it with his special eyes, the city was full of soldiers, and there was even a hidden and special aura condensed in the city. It didn't look like the aura that a "broken country" like Yuan Zhaoguo could have. After thinking about it in his heart, he looked at Chang Yi.

"It depends on what Liao Zhengbao thinks."

Chang Yi frowned, and looked towards the city, a little confused about what Ji Yuan meant, but he didn't ask much.

As the two got closer and closer to the city, they were quickly discovered by some sentries. They were still walking on the small road with fields on both sides. Famous soldiers.

"Zheng"

"Zheng"

"Zheng"

"Zheng"

"Zheng"

All five people drew their swords and pointed at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, looking at them with vigilance. The leading soldier looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi carefully, and then asked.

"Who are you waiting for? Why did you come to this frontier fortress? Tell me quickly, don't hide it!"

The other soldiers on the side also shouted and repeated.

"Speak quickly, don't hide it!"

Ji Yuan and Chang Yi showed no signs of panic. The former could see the full fighting spirit of these soldiers because of his eyesight problems, while Chang Yi could see that the armor on these soldiers was worn out. There are traces of repairing the rope, and there are even gaps on the weapon blade, but there is nothing to do except for the big gap, and the other places are sharply ground, and the blade is also sharp.

"My dear friend, this is Mr. Chang Yichang. The two of us have been entrusted to deliver a letter to a soldier in this city. I also hope that some military masters will make it easier for you."

"Message delivery?"

The leading soldier froze for a moment, and the other soldiers on the side also looked at each other a few times.

"Who to send the letter to? Is there an official letter?"

Ji Yuan thought for a while, made a gesture with his left hand to take something out of his right sleeve, and replied hurriedly.

"There are some official documents, and some are available. Please wait a moment, Mr. Jun."

Chang Yi looked curiously at Mr. Ji beside him, wondering when Mr. Ji got the official documents, but saw that Ji Yuan took out a blank rice paper from his sleeve and handed it directly to the leading soldier.

The leading soldier took the "official document" from Ji Yuan's hand, and watched it carefully, and there were two soldiers beside him who also looked over.

They looked up and down many times, and then nodded back to Ji Yuan.

"You do have an official document, but I don't know if it's real. You take it first, and show it to the Marquis when you see him later. Come with us now!"

"Okay, I'd like to ask some military masters to lead the way!"

Ji Yuan nodded slightly at Chang Yi, and stuffed the rice paper back into his sleeve, and the latter also understood at once that this was just a small use of blindness, and the "official documents" these soldiers saw were just what they wanted to see. things.

When approaching the city, even if it was facing the back side, the city gate was only half open, and roadblocks were set up outside. After at least two interrogations, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi finally met the military officer in charge of the north gate.

In a room near the door in the city, the military marquis also carefully read the "official documents", and took out several old official documents for comparison. After confirming that the official documents were correct, he did not return them to Ji Yuan, but It was placed in a wooden box with other official documents.

"Are you here to deliver a letter? It's strange, the group of wine bags, rice bags, and military pay are not fully paid, and they would approve official documents for the purpose of sending a letter..."

That's what the military marquis muttered, and then he asked Ji Yuan and Chang Yi again expectantly.

"How many letters? Do you have mine? My name is Li Qiuyang, from Neihe County, do you have any?"

Hearing this, some of the soldiers in the room also looked forward to Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, obviously eager to have their own letter.

But Ji Yuan could only helplessly shake his head.

"There are no other letters, only Liao Zhengbao's oral letter and family tokens."

The military officer sighed, nodded and said to a soldier next to him.

"Take the two gentlemen to meet Liao Sima."

"yes!"

Ji Yuan and Chang Yi walked through the city with that soldier, and saw many other soldiers, some were wounded, some were practicing, and without exception, their armor was torn.

"What do you think, Mr. Chang?"

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Chang Yi shook his head and said with emotion.

"The iron-blooded soldier in a hundred battles is also a real strong man, what a pity!"
