Chapter 40 Di Renjie

The words are divided into two ends.

Since Di Renjie was appointed as the imperial envoy by Ma Jin, he went to Jingzhou to preside over disaster relief affairs.

Di Renjie led Zeng Tai, Li Yuanfang and others to escort disaster relief food and grass to Jingzhou at night. However, it was more than a thousand miles away from Shendu to Jingzhou. If you took land, it would take more than a month. Fortunately, Shen has Luoshui and Dajiang, so you can set sail from Shendu to Jingzhou, which took only half a month. In addition to the 500,000 Niu Guards, the 3,000 elite Iron Armored Army of Right Dragon Martial Guard led by Chen Wu, the General of the Right Dragon Martial Guard.

The five thousand-story flat-bottomed blessed ship that Di Renjie rode was seconded from the Shendu Luo River Navy. This blessed ship had nine masts and twelve sails, with heads raised and sterns high, forty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide, and could carry a thousand people.

Its appearance is a small square head and a wide flat stern. There is a deck room in the middle of the main deck to form a building, with a bulwark, a three-story stern at the stern, and a two-story permeable forecastle at the bow. It is divided into five floors from the bottom cabin to the deck.

At this time, the six big lucky boats were full and the wind was smooth. The vast river surface as wide as the sea only went down to Jingzhou, and they drove quickly and steadily. From a distance, they looked like mountains, extremely tall and majestic, allowing other ships sailing in the river to hide.

Di Renjie was sitting at the bow of the boat and pondering, blowing the fresh river breeze, the river and sky in front of him were the same color, and the forests on both sides of the shore were dyed, making people feel relaxed.

"Sir, you'd better get into the house quickly! The cold is heavy now, so it's not good if you catch a cold." At this time, a handsome young man walked out of the cabin and shouted at Di Renjie.

"Oh, it's Yuanfang!" Di Renjie was stunned and turned his head and saw that it was Li Yuanfang, and then he said with a smile.

"Sir, we are going to Jingzhou to provide disaster relief this time, not to investigate the case? What are you worried about?" Li Yuanfang couldn't help but ask strangely when he saw Di Renjie's contemplative look on his face.

Di Renjie stood up and went to the side of the boat to look at the endless river view, looked at Li Yuanfang again, and said in a deep voice: "It's not that easy to go to Jingzhou. If it's just an ordinary relief for the victims, just send an official from the Ministry of Revenue to go there. Why would I, the Minister of Dali Temple?"

"Yuanfang, you have to know that the world you and I are in is no longer our original Tang Dynasty world. Here you are not only guarding against people's misconduct, but also guarding against demons to cause trouble. This world is much more complicated than our original world."

"Jingzhou is not the capital of God. No one dares to cause trouble in the place where Tianwei is. It is not necessarily the place far away from the Dragon Court."

"My Great Zhou has been established for a long time. On the surface, it still looks extremely strong, but the upper and lower levels have long been corrupt. Since Li Shifang and other rebels took power, the court has become chaotic, let alone the local area. Although His Majesty has taken power, it has made drastic reforms to clarify the court. But after all, the time is still short and the impact is only in a corner of the capital of God, and it is still far from affecting the upper and lower levels of the local area. The reform is still long and long!" Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh.

"With the Holy Emperor's reign, with Lord Changsun, Lord Xie and others to assist me. My Great Zhou will definitely clarify the world, the world will rise and rise." Li Yuanfang said with a serious voice. He believed that if you have them here, the Great Zhou will only get better and better.

"That's natural!" Di Renjie said with his eyes flashing with his shimmering eyes.

"What do you mean by sir? It's very dangerous to go to Jingzhou?" Li Yuanfang asked in confusion again.

"There may not be danger, but difficulties are certain!" Di Renjie said with a smile.

...

The day after Di Renjie entered the Jingzhou territory, he abandoned the ship and landed to lead a dozen guards to send their way to Xiangyang by land. Di Renjie and others walked on the official road. What they saw and heard on the road this day made them feel as if they had entered purgatory, with ruins everywhere. The victims of Jingzhou who were with their families walked on the official road in groups, some were huddled with dirt, some were kneeling on the ground and cursing Liantian, but more were crying sounds lingering in their ears, and countless people were displaced.

This is a natural disaster! In such an era, natural disasters make people unable to have the idea of ​​resistance. The most important thing is to survive by living a life of silence. It has become like this when it first entered Nanyang County, which was not seriously affected. I still don’t know what the counties in Xiaoyang Macheng District will be like.

"Sister--we are so hungry--can you give me some food? No steamed buns--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ruyan, who was riding on a horse, was already in a state of excitement. When he saw these two miserable children Ruyan, he felt like a string was broken. He quickly turned over and got off the horse and walked to the two children.

"Don't be afraid...Don't be afraid, everything will pass... Yuanfang! Where is our food?" Ruyan pulled the little girl over, took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped her dirty little face clean.

"There are only these steamed buns, and there are too many distributions along the way..." Li Yuanfang immediately took out the last few white steamed buns from the bag when he heard Ruyan's words and said. The big white steamed buns immediately made the victims around him look straight. If they hadn't seen that they were not ordinary people and were carrying weapons, they would have pounced on them and snatched them long ago.

"Eat slowly...get...drink some water...don't choke..." Ruyan gently stroked the heads of the two children and handed the water over.

"Thank you sister, you are such a great person. My brother and I have never met a kind person like you, my sister, when I beg you all the way." The little girl and the little boy shared a steamed bun, looked around and carefully hid the other three in their arms.

"Where are you... your parents?" Seeing the little girl's movements, tears suddenly came down.

"My brother and I got separated from our parents... But my father said we were going to Xiangyang, so we went to Xiangyang to find them. The food must be eaten halfway, so we must hide it..." The little girl counted the days when they were separated from her parents by her fingers. Her younger brother just hid behind her sister timidly, staring at the steamed buns in the girl's arms.

"Why don't we take them to find their parents? If such a young child is not us..." Ruyan's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Di Renjie and others pitifully.

"Ruyan... You know it's impossible. We are going to Macheng. It is the most severe flooding place. The water level has not yet declined. I really don't have the energy to help them find their parents, and it's even more impossible to bring them with me!" Li Yuanfang knew what Ruyan was thinking. Even if she was a villain, Li Yuanfang would have to stop her thinking. As the way forward, more and more children will lose their relatives, and they can't control it.

"Sister, are you going to Macheng? It's flooding there! You'd better go to Xiangyang with us, everyone is rushing there! I heard there is a lot of food there." The little girl stared at her big eyes, really couldn't figure out why this kind-hearted sister wanted to go to the place where they escaped.

"Okay, Ruyan! It's getting late, we have to hurry up." Li Yuanfang looked at Tianse and said to Ruyan. Although Li Yuanfang couldn't bear it, they had more important things to do now, and they really couldn't tell the truth and went to find the parents of these two children.

"Remember my sister's words, don't stop on the road, don't believe anyone's words! Do you know if you want to go to a crowded place? Your parents will definitely wait for you in Xiangyang..." Ruyan heard Li Yuanfang's urging. In fact, it was almost impossible for her two children to reach Xiangyang thousands of miles away by relying on her own abilities, but she knew that Li Yuanfang was telling the truth. They could not help such a child at all, and they couldn't help them all!

"Ruyan, let them follow us first, and help them find their parents when we finish our business and go back to Xiangyang." Di Renjie felt a little embarrassed and said.

When Ruyan heard Di Renjie's words, she burst into tears and laughed. She hurriedly pulled the two children to her side and said, "Thank you, uncle, I will take good care of them and will not delay our affairs."

Because they were all riding horses and had no tools to carry people, they could not only take a child like Yan and Di Chun each took a child on the horse. Di Renjie and others continued to move towards Xiangyang. Before they knew it was already afternoon. The trees on both sides of the official road gradually became denser, and the crowds on the road became increasingly scarce. After walking for a while, there was no trace of people. At this time, Li Yuanfang saw a small village in the foothills ahead. He couldn't help but point a horse whip and shouted to Di Renjie and others: "Sir, there seems to be a village ahead!"
