The two quickly reached a consensus during the conversation that Shanghe is not a place to stay for long.

The soaring price of rice is just a small part. After all, for Wen Fei and Chu Xi, it is impossible for ordinary people to afford rice. But the continuous heavy rain, the flooded wharf, and the greedy local officials made people uneasy... When they disembarked, the river and the water rose so much. God knows how far the water level has risen in the past few days?

Wen Fei had heard of floods in the south of the Yangtze River when he was working as a Habayashi Lang by the emperor's side. At that time, the emperor allocated a lot of money to repair the river and build the embankment. Now the half-month heavy rain has not yet become a problem, and it is probably the same as it was in the past.

However, no matter how much the imperial court guards against the slightest change, it can't prevent the people from filling their pockets. In terms of the greed of local officials that Wen Fei knows today, she really didn't believe that the other party hadn't reached out for the money that the imperial court allocated to repair the river and build the embankment!

The fire and water are ruthless, living in a place where floods may occur at any time, Wen Fei feels that he is not so eager yet.

In addition, the soaring food prices are actually hidden dangers. After all, not long after the price of food has risen, some people ran out to steal in broad daylight. Then, if the people can't survive for some time, will they just come out and grab them?

Grab passers-by, grab grain shops, and even grab government offices!

After all, everyone knows that the government is amassing huge amounts of money, and now that the road outside the city is still broken, it is not uncommon for brave people to take advantage of this opportunity to create chaos.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this little Shanghe is not a place to stay for a long time. Now that Yang Qi, who was only waiting to send out to check the price of food, came back, they confirmed their conjecture, and they had to make a decision.

Yang Qi came back very quickly, and appeared in front of the two with a full body of water vapor in less than half an hour. He didn’t know Wen Fei suddenly cared about what the price of rice was for, but at Wen Fei’s order, he honestly did it: “General, I went to the rice shop where I bought rice two days ago and asked, the price of their rice has increased. A bucket of rice has increased by 70 liters. I have asked about other rice stores, and they are all the same."

After speaking, Yang Qi frowned tightly. He is different from Wen Fei. The guards with limited food and payment obviously know the price. Now Chang'an's rice is only three hundred cents per ounce. Shanghe's rice price was originally more expensive than Chang'an, but now it is so skyrocketing.

Wen Fei and Chu Xi looked at each other after hearing this, and both understood each other's decision.

The two got up tacitly, and Wen Fei said to Chu Xi: "This trip is not going well, I have worked so hard to Chu Xi."

Chu Xi was helpless when he heard the words, and shook her head and laughed: "It's because of my bad luck, how can I blame others? You don't have to say hard work to me, if I didn't meet you, I'm afraid I would have been buried."

She spoke sincerely, but if it weren't for the marriage contract with Wen Fei, Chu Xi would not suddenly go south. It can only be said that this is an unclear account, and now that Chu Xi clearly understands Wen Fei’s feelings, her attitude towards Wen Fei seems to have also undergone a subtle change... As the person involved, Wen Fei vaguely noticed. He should have been wary of escaping in his heart, but he was a little bit stunned.

When Wen Fei realized that her mentality was wrong, Wen Fei panicked for a moment. She avoided Chu Xi's gaze and said: "You have already thanked you, so you don't need to mention this. Now that things are not delayed, I will notify the guards. You also quickly pack up."

After saying this, Wen Fei led Yang Qi to leave quickly, leaving Chu Xi standing there, looking at her back and raising her eyebrows.

On the other side, Wen Fei led Yang Qi to walk fast. Yang Qi followed a few steps and then barely caught up. He was a little puzzled: "General, why do you go so fast? Is there something urgent to tell?"

At this moment, the two of them had already left Chu Xi's sight. Wen Fei paused when he heard the words, and then turned around and solemnly ordered Yang Qi: "It's very urgent, you immediately notify everyone, immediately pack your things and prepare to leave the city."

Yang Qi was slightly stunned when he heard the words, but the army's orders and actions prevented him from asking more, and immediately took the order.

After Yang Qi left, Wen Fei raised his hand and stroked his forehead, recalling the slight joy before, and the emotions in his heart suddenly became complicated again.

Forget it, now is not the time to think too much, after all, who can dislike the good-looking young lady? The two of them can't be a husband and wife. If they have had the experience of helping each other in the same boat now, it would be good to be friends in the future.

Be friends... I hope.

************************************************** **************************

Wen Fei and his party went south for official business, and the people in the army didn't pay much attention to red tape. They basically went on the road with ease. But Chu Xi is different, even if she only lives south, the ostentation of the daughters of the family is not small at all.

For food, clothing, shelter and transportation, gifts, property and books, Lin Lin finally concluded that Chu Xi had a lot of luggage at all.

Before disembarking, Wen Fei's guards helped to carry the luggage, but now he just took out the things he needed to pack, and suddenly said he was leaving. I don't know what other people think, but Yudong only feels that the whole person is a bit bad after hearing this. After all, many maids helped to pack the luggage when she went out, but now she is the only one left, and she has no three heads and six arms to pack immediately.

Yu Dong looked at the things in the house that had taken two days to put out, and asked Chu Xi a little bit collapsed: "Miss, didn't you say that you sent the letter to Erlang Jun? Jiangzhou should send someone to pick it up in two days, why? Suddenly leaving again?!"

Chu Xi only remembered this after she reminded her, but she didn't change her mind at all. Instead, she said, "That's right, the things won't be cleaned up, just let the second brother send someone to clean up. You will pack two clothes now and bring some more. Soft, let's leave at once."

Yu Dong didn't expect Chu Xi to make such a decision, and was stunned, but at the same time he realized that things were not simple. She stopped talking, hurriedly dig out a piece of furoshiki, and then started packing up according to what Chu Xi said. After abandoning most of the things, it was easy for the two of them to pack their luggage. After only a quarter of an hour, Yu Dong carried two baggages and was ready to stop.

When Chu Xi saw this, she didn't delay. When she left with Yudong, she realized that this was the first time she had been so vigorous and vigorous.

Wen Fei and his party moved faster than Chu Xi. They were already waiting at the door. They came out and said, "Let’s go. It’s getting late today. We probably won’t be able to go far after we leave the city, but we can go to the nearby mountains for the time being. Stay."

With two big burdens on his back, Yu Dong looked like a refugee. He was stunned for a while-what on earth did General Wen and her lady think? If you go out of the city on a rainy day, you can't live in the rented yard and you have to run Live in the mountains? !

If Yudong is more rebellious, he should scold them for being ill at this moment.

Chu Xi had no objection to Wen Fei's words. Who calls Shanghe City not only has corrupt officials, but also its geographical location is not good. Although the nearby terrain is the flattest here, it is also the lowest. If something goes wrong with the dam and the river is flooded, this small city will be the first to be flooded!

The worries of the two of them are not easy to express, after all, nothing has happened yet. They can only leave first. Fortunately, Jiangzhou is not far from here, and even Shanghe City was originally under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou. When he arrives in Jiangzhou, Chu Biejia will take care of Shanghe's affairs. The state government will intervene at that time. It may be the best to stabilize food prices or prevent floods.

With such thoughts, Chu Xi and Wen Fei did not say much tacitly, and only led people to the gate of the city.

On this heavy rainy day, the roads outside the city were broken, and there were not many people coming and going at the city gate. As a result, the guards of the city gate were very relaxed. They were surprised to see Wen Fei and his party leaving the city, and some people made a special trip to remind them that the road outside the city was blocked.

Upon seeing this, the guard was about to step forward to deal with a few words, and suddenly heard a loud "bang" from a distance, the movement was bigger than the gallop of thousands of horses. He was startled and raised his head, and his words changed to: "What sound, is this thunder again?"

Wen Fei didn't feel like thunder, she felt a little flustered inexplicably, and suddenly grabbed Chu Xi and led her to the tower.
