"Okay, okay... what are you thinking about? Have you offended me? Do you know in your heart? Why are you kidding seriously?"

Zhang Qing was still a little alert, half-believing and half-doubting, but holding Xie Yuan's shield, he still breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself:

Fortunately, this guy still cares about people in this world, otherwise such a rational person who seems to have no feelings, is born with a confusing face and a vicious mind. Wouldn't he want to do whatever he wants to harm the whole world?

General Jie suppressed him and turned to the underworld. Wouldn't her merit book be hundreds of times thicker than others?

The forces opposed to the Xiao family in various places finally gathered in the capital and prepared to attack the capital outside the city to oust the five-year-old puppet emperor and the Xiao family.

The capital has been besieged for a month. It was already short of supplies due to various riots and various materials, so this war was even more difficult.

The dignitaries and nobles in the city were definitely unwilling to treat themselves badly, so they could only exploit the people.

Mrs. Guan guarded the wide open door and let several soldiers go in and out of the yard, with a bitter face and silent voice.

Because he received the news in advance that the court wanted to collect free food from the people's homes, Mrs. Guan had already asked Xie Yuan and others to hide in the secret room early, and only she and Gu Liang were left in the entire yard.

Gu Liang is a person who often goes to this family, and he is Guan Niangzi's younger brother.

An official came and searched a bag of corn from the kitchen. When he walked to the door, he looked at Mrs. Guan with a dark face, then looked at Gu Liang and asked:

"What's going on? Living in such a big yard, is there just so much food storage?"

Mrs. Guan smiled with her face, but she smiled so badly that she was crying, and said:

"Official... If you check your household registration, you will know that this is Lord Liu's old house. We are two servants in the family. One has no land and the other has no money. These are all saved by saving money, just that..."

She said as she clasped her hands at the soldier and muttered:

"Amitabha, please leave this ration for us siblings. If we take them away, we will starve to death..."

The soldier didn't believe it and snorted coldly:

"If you believe you, there will be a ghost... You save money. I see that you two are very strong. You must have received the news in advance and put away the food!"

"No... really not!" Mrs. Guan made an expression that was about to cry.

At this time, a shout from the search soldiers came from the room:

"Come on! See what this is?!"

When Gu Liang heard this, he became nervous. He took a step aside and was about to draw his sword and run to support him. However, he was pulled by Mrs. Guan.

His movements were seen in his eyes by the soldiers at the door, and he raised his voice and said:

"Yeah, do you still want to do it? Don't want to live anymore?"

As if in line with his words, outside the open door, a group of soldiers quickly ran past the team, carrying things in their hands, and another group.

Mrs. Guan grabbed Gu Liang tightly and said to the soldier at the door:

"No... really... He is just hungry recently, a little impatient and unstable. Don't be surprised by the official."

As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers who went in to check out happily ran out, one of them carried a chicken in his hand and shouted:

"Good guy, I can really hide it. I put the chicken in a sack and tied it behind the toilet... The chicken was so honest that it didn't even scream. It's so good to know!"

Gu Liang's face suddenly relaxed and darkened... He worked so hard to raise such a big body, but he was intercepted by someone to see that he could eat meat!
