Chapter 360
The banquet in the ancient mansion lasted for two days. On the third day, the Cheng family proposed to leave. After all, they still had business in Mingyuan City. Moreover, this time the Cheng family came to the head. If there was a big deal, people would not be able to make any decisions for a while. So they really dared not stay in Luocheng for too long.
Cheng A and Yang Muxue also wanted to go back to Ming to travel back, but Cheng Ai was fine. Yang Muxue was really reluctant to leave Cheng Ruoyi and Duoduo, and the two little girls were reluctant to leave Yang Muxue. Especially Duoduo, she has now called Yang Muxue's mother.
The Cheng family finally left, and the lively Gu Mansion calmed down. On the sixth day after the Cheng family left, Gu Qing also came back and called Yuxiong away. Even though Jiuyue was reluctant to leave, she was very sensible and packed everything for Yuxiong and personally sent Yuxiong away.
Cheng Ruoyi, in addition to reading and writing, takes care of Xiao Yuluo with September. Duoduo lay on a rattan chair in the yard with a large shape every day, basking in the sun. In addition to taking care of Xiao Yuluo every day, he also has to take care of the affairs of the ancient mansion. Gu Lao has completely relaxed now. However, he is busy in the fruit yard behind every day.
When September was not available, Gu Lao was busy every day. At that time, he really hoped to be idle, but he was worried about some things being done by people, so he never had a head. No matter what trivial matters or big things that fell, he did it himself. Now that September has helped him take care of all the affairs of the whole house, he should have been idle. But he couldn't stay idle, and when he was free, he felt uncomfortable, as if he was always moving and biting his body.
September handled the matter in the mansion in an orderly manner, and he could no longer get involved. Even if he could get involved, September would not let him interfere. So when he was so idle that he would come to the orchard behind to clean up the fruit trees. September asked him not to make those fruit trees several times, but he just didn't listen. In the end, September let him go, and now he stayed in the orchard for a day.
The weather began to get colder again. Although Luocheng is not as distinct as Mingyuan City, nor is it as the border city that year, it is cold all year round. However, it is also hot and cold. September has already prepared winter clothes for the whole mansion. Although the situation in Luocheng is very serious now. All those who can escape in the city have fled, and almost no daily necessities are available in the city, but the ancient mansion is not short of anything. Even dozens of servants have prepared the clothes they should prepare for, and their monthly money has doubled.
Despite this, the situation in the ancient mansion is not optimistic. Money has almost no room for use in Luocheng today. Food and clothing are the shortest things in Luocheng now. There are homeless people everywhere in the streets and alleys of the city. Although the Xia Dynasty has transported food to Luocheng several times, it is a drop in the bucket.
In addition to the original residents in Luocheng, many refugees in the Great Qi Kingdom bordering the Xia Dynasty also flocked to Luocheng. Although many people know that this is the first stop for the demons to invade the Three Realms, refugees who are short of food and clothing will never be able to leave this only city that allows them to live for the winter.
On the day the first group of refugees arrived in Luocheng, the city lord of Luocheng ordered the closing of the only two gates in Luocheng. Although many soldiers could not understand this action at that time, they could only follow orders. However, they soon knew the purpose of the city lord doing this, because in the next three or four days, refugees were almost invisible to the place under the Luocheng walls. And there were many refugees pouring into the crowd. If it weren't for the walls of Luocheng built by the ancestors to resist the invasion of the demons, the refugees would have entered the city long ago.
The Lord of Luocheng City has reported to the dynasty several times about the refugees, but except for the previous two escorts from the military to alleviate the refugees' food, the Xia Dynasty now almost ignores the incident of refugees in Luocheng.
"City Lord, the spy sent out has been sent back." The Lord of Luocheng stood on the city wall and looked at the refugees who were invisible in front of him. The soldiers behind him whispered to him.
"Call me and say back and forth." Xia Xuan looked straight ahead. If the imperial court had not issued an order, he would have left this damn place long ago.
"I've seen the city lord." A man dressed like a refugee bowed and said.
"How is the situation?" Xia Xuan stared at the person in front of him tiredly.
"Return to the city lord, as we understand, there are at least 100,000 refugees outside the city." The bent refugees looked carefully at Xia Xuan's reaction, paused for a moment and continued: "And we now have escaped soldiers, soldiers and members of the Great Qi family in addition to the refugees." After saying this, he stopped.
"100,000, is this number reliable? How did you get this number?" After waiting for a while, Xia Xuan asked when he saw the person coming no longer spoke.
"If you go back to the city lord, our team of twenty-four people will find this number after five days of careful investigation, and only a lot of them!" The person in front of the city lord looked up at him.
"Is there anything special?" Xia Xuan only cared about the number of refugees, not the others mixed with refugees.
"If you go back to the city lord, as far as we know, there are several powerful people among these refugees." The people came and looked outside the city and continued: "According to rumors among the refugees, when they passed by the northwest of the 100,000 mountains, dozens of people came out of the 100,000 mountains. They were chased by monsters. Because the situation was too chaotic at the time, the refugees were just escaping and did not know what happened. But later the monster was destroyed by several people, and these people later joined the army of refugees."
"How much do you know about the specific situation?" Xia Xuan felt it was credible or not, especially these refugees were almost all ordinary people. They had no cultivation and had limited understanding of the strength of cultivators.
"According to the investigation, as far as we know, there are at least five to eight immortal-level masters among the refugees!" The visitor whispered, his voice almost inaudible.
"What?" Xia Xuan shouted loudly as if he was frightened by something.
"Return to the city lord, at least five to eight immortal-level masters were mixed among these refugees." The visitor thought Xia Xuan had not heard him clearly, so he said it in a deep voice.
"Is the situation true?" Xia Xuan stared at the person who came. If the situation was true, then Luocheng would not face an army of more than 100,000 refugees.
"Return to the city lord, many of the refugees have seen them flying in the air." The visitor raised his head and stared at Xia Xuan, and then said, "It's time for me to go back."
